 The pastors of the various churches announced that the congregations of the different churches will unite in union services at the Baptist Church Sunday evening at z o'clock, and every night the following week.
 The services will be preparatory to the union services when Mir. Jones ar- rives. The pastors request "alI the people of the community, good and bad, and those who are neither good nor bad, to unite in these services."
 A large number of persons from the country have expressed their intention to attend the Jones meetings, and 1t ia expected that the Judson Auditorium. which seats 1,600 people, will have to be secured to accommodate the crowds. The Baptist Church only seats about 75O.
 Option has been secured on 5000 acres of land lying west of the Ca- haba River at Pilkes Ferry bridge by agents representing what is known as the "GalliIean Fishermen" The pur- pose of the purchase is to erect homes for negro families. to lands to be dis posed of in lfty-acre plots, it being stipulated in the deeds that the lands cannot be disposed of for debt or the owner removed for other than legal cause pertaining to good citizenship.
 The lands are now owned by well- known local citizens. who say they know nothing as to what purposes the purchasers will put the lands. but 1t is a fact that they have given an op- ton on them.
 The impression is Northern persons will furnish the money for the deal.

CASUAL REMARK OF WITNESS

Bullet Produced In Court Did Not Fit
 Ifaflan's Pistol.

buIet frOducea m COurt Dio Not pt italians Pistol. Chicago, oct. 26.--A casual remark of a witness~~in Judge Chettalain's court yesterday saved man from conviction of murder on circumstantial evidence. Indeed, the State had pre- sented such seemingly conclusive proof that Angelo Serpico had killed Salva- tor Serpico. that conviction and death penalty were almost certainly expect ed.
 This strong structure of proof built up by the State collapsed lilSe 8 bub- Ole when the case was about to go to the jury. A casual question asked of Dr. Warren Hunter. coroner's physi- elan, developed that Salvador Serpico was killed with a bullet from a 32-eal- ibre revolver. The defendants revol- yer was 3S-ealibre. Prior to that im- portant testimony. Assistant States Att torney Fleming had presented chain of evidence that was apparently com plete. Against this array of evidence the defendant was able to present only feeble defense
 He took the stand and denied shoot ing He admitted having drawn re- volver but was unable to explain tho exploded cartridges. On cross exam ination by Mir. Hanlon, when asked to account for Salvador Serpico's death, he said: Louis did it." He could not tell who Louis was except that he was an Italian who had been in the saloon and who had since fled Dr. Hunter was the last witness called. He ex- pressed the opinion that death was due to shock and hemorrhage caused by the bullet wound.
 ~By the way. pr. Hunter" Attorney Hanlon for the defendant asked, have you the bullet that you found in the body2"
 Certainly" Mir. Hunter replied, and he handed the bullet to the lawyer. Why. this is s3-calibre bullet" At torney Hanlon exclaimed. The bullet was then placed in the revolver owned by the defendant and 1t rattled in the empty chamber. After a short delib- eration the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
