MANY GOLF JOURNEYS
Three National Championships to
Be Held In East Shortly.
AMATEURS MEET SEPT. 1919

Garden City, N. Y, to Be Scene of
Americas Blue Ribbon Event-Wo-
mems National In Washington Oct.
1s-24-MyoPia Clubs, Aug. 81, "a.
Dame Fortune has certainly been
kind to eastern golfers this year.
Many important tournaments have
been successfully run of, and several
more are to be decided. Among them
are three national championships. The
amateur fixture, regarded in the coun-
Try as the blue ribbon event of the
year in American golf, will claim at
tention at Garden City, n. Y, the en-
tire week beginning Monday, Sept. Ii.
On Aug. q and % the well known
links Of the Myopia Hunt club, near
Boston, will once again become the
scene Of a national competition. As all
close followers of the game know, the
attraction will be the open champion
ship, which has already been held
three times over the Hamilton links.
Until the tournament awards were
made at the last annual meeting Of the
United States Golf association it had
been expected that the west would put
In a bid for the open rather than let
the 1908 season pass without one of the
three national attractions. But some
how or other the professionals are not
sought after nearly so much in this
country as abroad.
The other national tournament is the
wOmen's, to be held on the Chevy
Chase links in Washington, Oct. 1924.
This viii be the first time in the his
tory of American golf that a club so
far south has been selected for a ma
tional championship. 1t was claimed
at the meeting by w. Fellowes Nor
gan, secretary of the United States
Golf association, that a serious mis-
take would be made in sending the wO-
men to Washington, where there are
practically no women golfers. The
delegates then lost no time in voting
almost unanimously in favor of Chevy
Chase, despite the fact that the women
had in written communications ex-
pressed a preference for the Philadel-
phia Country club.
But, after all, it must ever be at mat
ter Of opinion whether or not the dele
gates acted wisely in their distribution
of the three national plums. At any
rate, New England, and more particu-
larry Massachusetts,, with their beloved
Myopia, are again satisfied.
In addition to the three national
tournaments, the east has its own cir
cult of important gatherings. Every
year the tri-city competition for the
Lesley cup deeply interests the Phila-
delphia, Massachusetts and MetropoIi-
tan associations.
Dates have been set aside in Sep
TENDER for an open championship of
the Metropolitan Golf association, and
all that is needed to make this tourna-
ment a certainty is for some club to
offer its course and incidentally con-
sent to assume half the expenses.
There does not appear to be any dan
ger of the clubs all speaking at once.
Taking it all in all, however, the cir
cult of competitions, including impor-
tant tournaments as well as cham
pionships. is the most compact and at
tractive ever arranged in the east.

WHO LET THE BAT
 OUT OF THE BAG?

A rival to Paul Revere took flying trip through Bessemer late yesterday after noon and as he sped down the various streets shouted out the alram that deputy sheriffs were planning a raid on blind tigers As the result a wholesale raid on the Bessemer felines planned by Sher- if Higdon resulted in but five arrests.
 Whisperings to the effect that Bessemer was the greatest hotbed of blind tigers in the district caused Sheriff Higdon to arrange for a raid there. Accordingly nine deputies were detailed to this work.
 On Wednesday scouts moved about the town and secured evidence against two or three places. Yesterday afternoon three of the deputies went to Bessemer from Birmingham, while the others followed an hour or two later. But the alarm had been given and the soft drink stands in the town closed with the setting of the sun.
 After few hours work Eugene Me- Alister. Blanche Bates, Clara Martin and Bessie Scott, all white, were placed under arrest on the charge of violating the pro- hibition laws, while J. A. Snow was arr rested for abusive language in connec- ton with the arrests All five of the ar- rested persons were brought to Birming ham and placed in the county jail.

The board of directors of the Alabama State Fair visited the fair grounds yes- terday afternoon and returned to Bir- mingham perfectly jubilant at the pros poets of the fair which opens next Fri day.
 We can defy the clements and easily give the people of the state all they could expect said A. H. Ford. Manager Barnes could open his gates tomorrow, so far as the grounds are concerned. The condition of the grounds is marvellous It cannot even be compared with that of last year. The track is great, while the drain age system is perfect.
 T tell you, we are going to have such a fair this year-well, l can't express it. Birmingham never saw the like, and l believe the crowds will be enormous
 The party went out on special car of fered by MT. Ford and took in the grounds and buildings carefully. John l.. Parker was particularly impressed by the decorations in the exhibit buildings Here we have simplicity and artistic taste of the highest order.

 There were c. w. Ufford, Ferd Marx, c. B. McVay, M V. Joseph, R. M. Goodall and Sol Caheen, who could not express themselves too enthusiastically Honest ly." said MT Joseph. T believe we will have cause to be as proud of this State Fair as we were of our entertainment of the Confederate reunion. The spirit is here We can't do a small thing any more, and the people of the state realize it."
 The Alabama State Fair is only a week distant. Manager Barnes calls attention to the fact that this is 'farmers' fair. He says that it was suggested to name some special day for the farmers but he wants them to understand that every day is theirs. One day will be set aside for them to hear Senator Banlkhead on good roads, and on another day J. A. Will kerson will discuss agriculture, but all the time, from Friday until the following Sat- urday, will be given up to the farmers and their families.

LANDS THE ORDER
 FOR BIG ENGINE

B. A. Monaghan of the Hardie-Tynes Manufacturing company has returned from Boston with an order for an engine from the Federal Coal and Coke com pany, of which c. F. Perrin of New York city is consulting engineer. The engine 8 Corliss of 5O0-horse power, is for direct connection with 350-kilowat generator, which will supply the mines of the Fed eral company with lights and also power for it's electric locomotives. MT. Mona- ghan Is naturally elated by the booking of the order, although this is by no means the first time Hardie-Tynes have success fully invaded the east. It is well known in local industrial circles that a number of Hardie-Tynes engines have been in- stalled in New York and surrounding territory, and that each of these has proved good advertisement and producer of new business for the company.

DIR. STEWART AT
 FIRST BAPTIST

At the union service at the First Bap- tist church yesterday morning Evangelist Dr. Clarence A. Stewart preached, Acts 1S .Ye shall be witnesses unto me- v and spoke in part as follows:
 '.2frist's tools are men, and the world is to be saved from its sin and woe through men permeated with omnipotence whose lips are Christ's, whose hands are Christ's, whose feet are Christs, God consecrated, God inspired, God determined men. The voice of Jesus is, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel and that command has never been repealed, reseinded or countermanded, but it abides forever. Preaching the gospel is the greatest obligation and honor possible for men. greater than any ever conferred on angels prophets All sacraments, sacred rites and things fall short of the preaching of Jesus in religious usefulness. What a responsibility and honor to be the voice of God to men. By witnessing to Jesus the world is to be saved. The Lord could have adopted some other method doubtless, but he has commis- stoned us, that while we proclaim it we shall ourselves experience the Sospel III our own hearts. The promise of the power of the spirit of God immediately proceeds this command to witness. Ates- timony without the holy spirit is cold, unconvncing, unconvicting, but by the spirit it is warmed and, made moving. Such made the gospel to Peter not cum ningly devised fables, put the power and presence of the Lord. The only effective witness is the eyewitness. Witness bear ing implies that man has seen some- thing. We may not like Peter see the crucifixion. burial and resurrection of the Lord, but have seen his miracles of saw ing grace, and heard His voice and walked

worry is a big load to carry and an unnecessary one. When accompanied by indigestion it certainly is cause for the blues.
 But the whole trouble may be easily thrown off and lifcs road be made easy and comfortable by proper eating and the cultivation of good cheer. Hear what a Troy woman says:
 Two years ago l made the acquaint- ance of Grape-Nuts and have used the food once day and sometimes twice, ever since.
 At the time I began to use it life was a burden. I was for years afflicted with bilious sick headache, caused by indiges- tion and nothing seemed to relieve me.
 'sThe trouble became so severe l had to leave my work for days at a time.
 My nerves were in such state l could not sleep and the doctor said l was on the verge of nervous prostration. l saw an adv. Concerning Grape-Nuts and bought package for trial.
 What Grape-Nuts has done for me is certainly marvellous. l can now sleep like a child, am entirely free from the old trouble and have not had a headache in over a year. l feel like new person. I have recommended it to others. One man l knew ate nothing but Grape-Nuts, while working on the ice all winter, and said he never felt better in his life''

with Him in the way Then go and tell to know. We greatly need the active witnessing of the pew, so that men may know that Jesus is known and His grace experienced there. MT. John Converse, the president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, breaches Christ to his men every Saturday; and we need testimony of the pew like this Culture and learning in the pulpit does not give revival power in the pew. Every one should know that he is saved for service and should witness for his Lord. We are not satisfied with the slow advance we are making. God is as ready now to save men as in the old days, but we are not working at our wit messing as they did then. We must illus trate Christianity in life by living it and talking it. One who was late at church came in as the preacher was pronouncing the benediction and asked if the exercises were over, but he was told no, they have only begun. The people were about to go out and live the truth. Christianity means an offensive as well as defensive war fare to drive the devil out of power For the last 40 years we nave been SlnSlng tnaC hymn, Hold the Fort but it is high time we quit that and go to storm the forts of sin. Begin at home with your own family. There is something wrong radi- cally when a mother cannot be witness of the gospel to her own child. l do not want my children wandering around in heaven to look up the one who lead them there. But do not stop there, for God is just as interested in other peoples chill dren as he is in mine. Who is going to witness for Jesus if we who know him do not? Arise, let us be going; arise, let us be doing"
 pr. Stewart preached also at 8 p. m. to a large audience and three made a profession of religion. The meetings at the First Baptist are growing in interest.

 This building is to be a steel frame building, nine stories high, with rein forced concrete floors, while each of the steel members of the frame will also be encased with this material.
 Contractors generally are very busy at the present time Each day for the past few weeks has witnessed the starting of work on new houses, while the different architects are busily engaged in drawing up the plans for still other new ones.

BAPTIST REVIVAL
 CROWS IN INTEREST

Last night at Southside Baptist church Evangelist w. W. Hamilton spoke on Preparing the Way of the Lord" and said that Gods people must present themselves to God so that He can speak through them.
 The speaker named some essentials in this preparation, realizing the need vation for the lost, getting right our selves, faithfulness in preaching and in witnessing, and prayer
 He gave number of examples and scripture passages illustrating these points.
 He said he used to be a clerk in a hotel and that he remembered how the traveling men came with their samples and sold to the merchant. So we are looked upon by the world as Gods samples and many people do not come to Christ because we are such poor samples.
 The hardest man in the world to save is the man whose wife is a pro- fessing Christian and who goes to church once a week and runs after the world, the flesh and the devil the rest of the time. The hardest woman to win is the one whose husband is d protesting Christian, but is a Christian in name only.
 Many church members lose tn cir joy and their influence and their power by leaving their membership back wonder at the old church. They love husband or wife more than their duty to God and stay out of heir known service to God because of some home influence.
 The singing of Mir. and Mrs George was greatly enjoyed. They sing at the afternoon service at S:30 as well as at night.
 Two came forward and united with the church at the close. The interest deepens with every service.

THREE MORE DAYS
 OF THE REVIVAL

Three more days yet remain before the close of the revival at the First Cum berland Presbyterian church, U. S A. The closing days will be busy ones for the evangelist and workers. The service to- night will be of unusual interest. Dr. Rodgers will preach on heaven. and will discuss such questions as: Where is heaven? Who is in heaven? What are they doing in heaven? What is the ap- pearance of our loved ones in heaven? Will we know each other in heaven?
 Tomorrow morning at 10:30 O clock there will be a service for children and their parents. Sunday morning at the Il o'clock service the converts of the meet ing who desire to join Dr. Steeles church will be received into church membership, and Sunday afternoon at o'clock a mass meeting for men will be held.
 Dr. Rodgers sermons arefbeing enjoyed more and more as the series progress, and the results are extremely gratifying to those in charge of the undertaking.

Yesterday was moving day in Greater Birmingham, and all day long heavily loaded vans were seen on nearly every street. The moving, however, did not ap- pear to be so general as in previous years, this being attributed by real estate men to the effort to have April as the general moving day,
 The day also witnessed the starting of actual work on the construction of sev- eral new buildings, the most important of which is the Farley building to be erected at the southwest corner of Twentieth street and Third avenue. The stores, moving picture theatre and offices in the little two-story building on this corner were practically empty yesterday morn

 The pig iron market is without special feature this week. For this quarters de- livery prices range from s12.5O to $13 on a No. basis. Tonnage sold for the first quarter next year has brought quite uni formally SIS, but no very large contracts have been made. It is believed there will be no brisk buying movement until after the elction. If the business outlook is bright in November the price of iron will harden at SIS, 1t is thought, and with an active market it will probably advance to $19. 50d14.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report for the current week follows:
 The market is quiet, with the most in- terest manifest in the movement of iron on old contracts There has been little new business of any size placed and cur rent sales are mainly for immediate con- sumption. Southern iron is strong and firm, with good movement on old con- tracts and a reported decrease in furnace stacks.
 Consumers who have been buying spot lots of northern iron now appear to be using more of the southern, and If they have had any on contracts are now want ing deliveries right up to contract specif- cations. This has resulted in making the market for northern iron dull. One or two of the larger interests in the Bir- mingham district have taken on enough tonnage for this year to satisfy them and are not pressing for new business during that period
 There is reluctance on the part of most furnaces in the north and south to quote on business for next year in any quan- tity, and this will in all probability be the case until after the election Coke production is increasing daily, in spite of the difficulty with shortage of labor and poor water supply. It is esti- mated that about 1000 more ovens are in blast in the Connellsville district this week over the week before, and the same ratio holds good of other points. Prices are firm with fair demand. Advan- tageous prices can be obtained now for year ahead and such business in foundry coke has been good.
