| Anniston, October 5-(Special. 1.-The
 Sunday School Teachers institute of the
 Sixth district of Calhoun county. in ses-
 sion in the First Methodist church from
 Saturday afternoon till the closing, Sun l day night, was one of the most interest 1 ing gatherings that have been held in
 the city for some time. From the first
 service the convention was very large i ly attended. Sunday night the church l was overflowed by the crowds that i fiocked to the meeting, being attracted
 by the intensely interesting feature of
 the discussions heard
 l Saturday afternoon Miss Minnie Ken
 nedy spoke to the primary and junior
 workers, making timely suggestions on l teaching, two of which were especially 1 interesting. These were first manual
 work, for which she suggested the use of i round tables for each class and, second, i construction, in which she advised that personal application be omitted. On the
 latter point her reasoning was especial l ly good. She insisted that the ingraft-
 ing of a truth should be left alone to
 work it's own results, rather than to be lHeuullHB WiIH IL WltH the lulcnl to DfiDS about immediate reform.
 Sunday morning the services were i opened by Dr. J. D. Simpson, pastor of
 the church. MT. Wadsworth then spoke
 on "The Greater Sunday School" He
 said we learned all things by comparison
 and on this premise he pictured the prim-
 itive Sunday school, comparing it tos the great" Sunday school of the present and to the greater Sunday school of the future. The problems of the greater Sun
 day school were two, he said, to wit: What shall we do with pa? Second,
 ''How shall we hold the boy of from 16 to 20 and the girl from 13 to 1s?" These difficulties he explained.
 In the afternoon of Sunday, when the congregation was the largest, w. D. Wadsworth said, he had ever had the pleasure of addressing on such subjects,
 and for which he complimented tee city
 on it's Sunday school enthusiasm, the
 convention was addressed by both Miss
 Kennedy and MT. Wadsworth the form
 CT on Teachers and Teaching" and the
 latter on What to Teach and How" | Both were given marked attention.
 1 At the evening service, with the church
 overfiowing with people, both speakers
 were heard in interesting addresses. In fact they were allowed to occupy the
 time as suited their own feelings and they
 did so both Interestingly and profitably, nearly every pulpit in the city being va cated for the purpose of allowing all
 who desired to attend the convention. l w. G. Irwin of Talladega county was
 arrested here yesterday by police officers,
 who turned him over to Sheriff LeGrand
 to be held till today, when he was car-
 ried back to Talladega to answer to the
 charge of stealing another mans wife
 and three children some time ago at Iron l ton, with whom he fled and with whom l he has been living in seclusion in this | city. The abandoned husband, J. M i Humphries of Silver River, recovered his
 wife here yesterday with Irwin and took
 her back home. Deputy Sheriff Otwel l of Talladega came up this morning and | took Irwin back for trial.
 | Sheriff LeGrand was notified Monday morning by telegram that Luther Wood, l a negro, wanted here to answer a charge
 of murder, had been captured in Cedar town, Ga., by Sheriff Dempsey of that | city. Sheriff LeGrand will go to Cedar 1 town Tuesday and bring Wood back for i trial Wood killed another negro by the i name of George McGregory at negro dance in West End last summer and im- mediately skipped out. The telegram is 1 the first tidings heard of Wood since the 1 crime was committed
