Many Interesting Matters for Southern League Meeting

The annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the Southern League will be held in Alta nta tomorrow af- terioon. and Saturday the annual De- cember meeting of the League will be held. There win be three vacancies to be filled out of the six on the Board or Directors which at present is com- posed of stern of New Orleans. Craw- ford of Shreveport. Coleman of Mem- pflis, Arnold of Atlanta, Baugh of Bir- mingham. and Amerine of this city.
 As Shreveport is out of the South- ern League, of course 1t leaves a va- cancy in Captain Crawford's place. Mobile taking the place of Shreveport, 1t Is very probable that Dr. Harry T. Tnge. President of the Mobile Club, will be elected mefhber of the Board of Directors to succeed Captain Ci'aw- ford. A successor to Lowry Arnold. who has retired from active baseball. will have to be elected on the board, and as E. E. Amerine will not be a that his place wifi have have to be filled. making the third new member on the Board of Directors.
 Lowry Arnold of Atlanta vas also that makes another vacancy to- be filed Baugh, President of the Birm- ingham club, and Coleman. President of the Memphis Club. are mentioned though the Indications are that the Memphis man will be elected Vice. President of the Southern League.
 Judge kavanaugh will be reelected President of the League for sixth con- secutive term withoat the shadow of opposition. [ There has been a lot of talk in re- the presidency if Little Rock gets out of the League. The chances of Chat tanooga getting the Little Rock fran- chise are not even being seriously cont sireded. the latter town will have a delegation at the meeting headed prob ably by Sammy Strang (Nicklin.)
 A lot of talk will probably be turned

Who Said Hard Times?
 Look at the Building Going On.

With the foolish money known as script still lighting the gray days and the even darker nights with its bright touches of color, and children Of calam- ity still crying aloud in their alleged extremity, little old Montgomery is going right along, gaining celerity and momentum with each succeeding day.
 Building permits for nearly $17,000 worth of construction were issued yes terday from the office of City Engineer A. R. Gilchrist. Most of the work Is on houses for a growing population. There is said to have been 8 slump in real estate, but people still seem to want a place to live in. One of the houses is to cost $3,6U0, another s3,OO0, still another s2,00G. The mere remodeling of one house Is to cest S2.000.
 Here is list of the permits to build. exclusive of two permits for the small repairs of a roof.

 The notion that meat is necessary for real strength and the foundation or solid flesh is no longer as prevalent as formerly, sluggish part 'of the time because they are not able to fully digest their food. and the undigested portion IS changed into what is practically klnd of poison that acts upon the blood ana nerves, thus getting all through the system. .,.

ON ~rHE CONFESSIONAL"
Father MeDenald Spoke EIoquentiy On
 UuferestfnE Subject.

Interesting Subject.
 Father McDonald took as the subject of his lecture last evening ~ o.. Peters Catholic Church. "Tne Conies, sional." This is one Of the caroiiai nrinciples of the Catholic Church, ana as asnacfallv interesting to the many non- Catholic persons in the large audi anca which had assembled to hear this topic discussed.
 The explanation of. the principle was clear and left no room for questions at the end of the discourse.
 Father Mcdonald said in part
 aCan man forgive sin? is the ques- tion often asked by those tWho aIe outside of the Catholic Church., ana the answer is, he certainly can II Goo mas given him that power. It was aIter His Resurrection that Jesus stood m the midst of His disciples and saio' Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive they are TOT given them and whose sins you shaii retained they are retained.
 How have the fathers of the ancient church looked upon this practice ot confession? St. Cyprian. St. Augus- tine. St. Jerome speak of 1t Tn tan- guage whose sense we cannot aoupt.
 Tt is certainly great oenent 70 the individual soul, inasmuch as It may receive advice that will determine US eternal destiny, companions to pc aovided, dangerous occasions or sin, our Lord knew what He was initiating when for the first time whose slns ye shall forgive, etc.
 And then can we deny that It IS great benent to society when the thiel must promise to restore beIore apsoiu- tion, when the impure man must slno mn his sins and secret vice, when the Srunkard must quit his evil waysF

LIST WILL REACH 800
MORE BODIES BEING TAKEN FROM
 MINES.
Over Fifty Funerals Were Held in Monongah and Each Casket
 Bore Clusters of Beau-
 tfful Flowers.

Monongah, W. Va, Dec. 11.-Steadi- ly and almost uninterruptedly, mines Nos. and of the Fairmont Coal Company are giving up the victims of last Fridays explosion.
 When tonight's force of rescuers went on duty, there had been a total of 225 bodies taken out. most of which out in groups of two and three at short intervals.
 A number of bodies brought out to- day did not bear the brass checks used in the company's system of records and accounts of majority of its em- pfoyes, thus substantiating the state-i ments of Monday that large number of men and boys in the mines were not included in the checking rolls upon which estimates of the dead were largely based. This has also almost dispeIlcd the hope expressed by mining officials the past few days that the number of dead had been over-esti- mated. There Is reason to believe to- night that the number will not fall far short of 500.
 A canvass of miners homes will be completed tomorrow and this, together with list of hundreds of unclaimed letters in the postoffice will furnish data for new and probably more &C., curate estimate. Conditions outside the mine tonight are much improved through the freezing soil of the mud. making the work much easier.
 An opening between the two mines was completed tonight and 1t is be- lieved that within forty-eight hours all the bodies will have been taken to the morgue.
 Over fifty funerals were held today. On each casket there was bunch of American beauty roses or white car, nations The source of the flowers rel mained secret until late in the day, when it was learned that Miss Eliza beth, daughter of s. J. Watson, treas- urer of the coal company, had ordered f
