MCCORMICK MAY GO
 TO UNION SPRINGS
Pastor of Southside Baptist Church Has a Call From Church In
 South Alabama City.

It is very probable that the Rev. H. P. Mccormick. who has for the past year or more held the pastorate of the South side Baptist church, will accept a call of the Baptist church at Union Springs. leaving Birmingham in October or No vember.
 A telegram from Union Springs was received yesterday stating that the Bap- tist church extended a call to Dr. Me- Cormick to accept the pastorate of the church in that place. Dr. Mccormick stated last night that 1t was probable that he would accept the call
 pr. Mccormick came to Birmingham a little more than a year ago to act as pastor of the Southside Baptist church for one year, and since the time when the year expired ke has been assisting in securing a pastor to succeed himself. A great part of his ministerial life was spent as missionary in Mexico and Porto Rico.
 There is no preacher in Birmingham more widely known and more universally loved than is Dr. Mccormick. Since com ing here he has made his usefulness felt. and there are a great number in the city who will regret his departure.

IS UNALTERABLY
 OPPOSED 70 THE CHANCE

J. H. Heineke, a well known real es- tate and insurance man, is one of those who is unalterably against prohibition in Jefferson county. When seen yester- day, he had this to say:
 'I have been in Birmingham twenty five years. have gathered considerable interest here, and have seen the city grow from a little town to a large city.
 T have come to the conviction that two years of prohibition will throw Bir- mingham back ten years in her progress, and will do unlimited damage to her fu- ture prospects. People may say that two years will suffice to try prohibition, and if It is not acceptable it may be voted out and no harm will be done. but l say that the city will be years in recovering from the shock.

 HAVE HENRY KING
Photograph Resembles the Man Who Killed Policeman J. H. MuIIln,
 In 1903.

It Is now believed that the negro being held by the authorities in Tampa, Fla, is the Henry King wanted In Blrming- ham for the murder of Police Officer J. II. Mullin In September. 1903 It has been nearly four years since King made his escape from Birmingham, and since that time there have been five or six Henry Kings apprehended, but each time it turned out to be the wrong party.
 A photograph of the negro being held has been received and 1t bears a marked resemblance to the negro who shot Po- liceman Mullin. Acquisition papers are being gotten out and the sheriff's office will send deputy to Tampa to bring the negro back.
