Both Participants Are Injured In Ex-
 change of Shots.

Centreville, July 25. = Especially - On Tuesday at Scottsville. about eight miles west of Centreville, duel with fire arms occurred between Frank Heard and John Thomas in which both were wounded.

The Plant Juice Remedies are still cre- ating the widest attention, and as a mat ter of fact no medicine ever advertised in this district has received so ready a response or so many flattering testimon- ials.
 The old saying that where there is smoke there is fire is evidently exempli- fled in the Plant Juice case, as never day passes but what some flatterlng testi monials are added to the long list now in Colonel Dillinghams possession.
 Henry Jones' a miner of Blossburg who was in the city yesterday, stated to an Age-Herald reporter that for the past three years or more he had been suffering from kidney troubles. His back was con- stantly in pain and at times he could not ttoop. He said that he had severe rheu- matic pains in his arms and legs and WAS for several weeks laid up so he could not move. About three weeks or so ago he commenced taking Plant Juice and be- gan to improve immediately. After taking three bottles he claims to be entirely well and gives the credit to Plant Juice. T have tried other remedies without effect. said Jones, "and now that I am free from pain and feel so good l am satisfied that I am cured and Plant Juice did the work. '
 The platform opposite the Majestic the- atre Is still being thronged with people night and day. and the demand for the medicine is greater than ever.
 There will be another big demonstration at the platform tonight and the public are invited to come and see and hear for themselves the virtues of the Plant Juice Remedies.

our sympathy with all persons in the commonwealth who are seeking to enforce it."
 This resolution was presented in accord ance with the sentiment developed in the first meeting of the ministers confer ence last Tuesday afternoon. It refers particularly to the movement inaugurated in Birmingham to stop payment of pub lie mcreys to the Catholic institutions, the St. Vincent's hospital and the East Lake orphanage. The motion to adopt the resolution passed without discussion.
 The special committee appointed with Dr. Sts kelly as chairman, to consider the report of the committee on centennial ce.ebra tion of the first Baptist church organized in Alabama heartily endorsed the recommendations made in the latters s report, which was principally that $l00,o00 be raised for missions during the next convention year and that suitable pro- gramme be prepared for the Roanoke as sembly next July.
 Dr. Stal1ely showed that this would mean only 621a cents for every Baptist in the state. After enthusiastic discus sion the report was adopted by rising vote, the denomination thereby pledging itself tc reach the mark of SlOOO for every year of the past century of Bap- tist principles in the state.
 Another important resolution was one loo. .inE to the establishing or depart ment in Howard college at East Lake of archives and history. This was car ried and an effort will be made to col- lect all the light possible on Baptist his tory since 1898.
