New Church at Flint Hill.
Baptist Courier, Sept. 10: The Flint
Hill church will break ground this
week for q new and handsome brick
house of worship. For three or four
years the members have been accumu-
lating materials and funds for the
building and they are quite happy that
the time has at last come for the work
of construction to begin. The house
will cost $4,000 and will be one OF the
best country meeting houses IN the
state. The church has membership
of only about 100, but 1t has long been
known as one Of the most liberal ana
progressive in the state. Bro. +. ..

The Birds Had Flown.
Sheriff Brown made a partially sue
cessful raid after an Illicit still In the
Smyrna neighborhood last Friday
morning. He was acting on straight
tin from a reliable source, but his In
formation did not include exact direc-
tions as to the location Of the stiiL
He was accompanied by Deputy Sher-
iff Quinn, Magistrate r. L. A. Smith
and Constable Floyd Stephenson. The
party found the still at point about
three miles from Smyrna. But the
distillers had gotten wind OF their
coming and got away with everything
movable, leaving only some STANDS
containing about 600 gallons Of beer.
This beer was destroyed. There have
been no arrests up to this time.
Route No. 6.
Inquiry Of several persons directly
interested indicates that while por-
tion of the roads on Yorkville route
No. 6 have been put in very good con-
dition, a large portion Of this route re-
mains untouched. UP to Saturday,
practically nothing had been done on
the worse portion Of the route, that
lying along the Armstrong Ford road
between the Glover road crossing ana
the Allison Creek bridge. This Is a
public road, Of course, and Its condi-
ton is represented to be very BAD.
Most Of the people living along the
plantation roads, not classed as public
roads, have either already performed
the work required Of them. or prom
ised to do 1t before the expiration OF
the limit. There Is pretty general
feeling along the route that the ROAD
will be worked: that IL those whose
duty 1t Is to do the work fail, that oth-
ers will step In and do the work any
way. How 1t is going to turn out
however remains to be seen. Tnere is
little reason to expect that the post
office will recede from the position 1t
has taken in the matter.
The Market Situation.
The regular Associated Press report
of Yesterdays developments In the
New York contract market was as fol-
lows: New low records were made In
the cotton market today, with the
close steady at a net decline Of 81 to
81 points. Sales were estimated at
SOC. 900 bales. The opening was easy
at a decline Of IL to 16 points In res
ponse to lower cables and dfsappoint-
ment among recent buyers that the
storms in the south were not more Sc
we're and were not accompanied by re-
ports OF damage to the growing crop.
There was selling for behind accounts
during the session and while shorts
were covering on a scale down they
failed to check the declining tendency
of the market for more than brief in
tervals and there were no rallies or
consequence. New Orleans was a
heavy seller here and Liverpool was
also a seller at times on heavy scale.
Rumors that there was still an Octo-
Der long interest which might be fore
ed out before the first notice day may
have been a factor during the session,
but more attention was paid the prom
ise Of more settled weather over the
belt and the fear Of spot weakness as
