Senator Charles w. Fulton and that
w. r. Ellis. incumbent, has defeated
former Governor T. Il. Geer and
George S. Shepard for the nomination
for representative from the Second

The campaign leading up to the pri-
maries was one of the most bitter
ever fought in Oregon, especially In
the race for the senatorship. Francis

the campaign against Fulton, whom
he fought bitterly for the lstter's al
legged misconduct in the office which
he now holds.

SOUTHSIDE BAPTISTS
THEY LED MONTGOMERY AssoCIA-
 TION IN MAIN FACTORS.
The Membership of Church and School Has Been wonderful. while Con- trabutfons To Mission and Bee
 nevolent objects Are
 Notable.

Tn the Montgomery Association con- vention held in Prattville during last September the reports of the South . crease in membership and in contribu- tions to all mission and benevolent objects. The church showed contribu- tions to more different objects than any other churc4. in the Association.
 Not only this was shown. but the Sunday School of the church during the past year has increased in astonish- Ing proportions. With a rally day held last spring the Amembership was more than doubled. while the regular attendance upon the school increased in like proportions. ~N
 Not satisfied with this increase, the officers of the church and school are planning a vigorous campaign to bring in those who are not connected with. any Sunday School. They con- template building a room. for the pri- mary department of the school, that the congestion in the main room may be relieved to a great extent.
 The pastor, Lev. Samuel A. Cowan. plans to study the Book of Romans during hte coming winter that he may teach special course in missions. This course will be in direct line with churches, "The Laymen's Missionary Movement.
 The young people of the church will take up the study of an active church membership. They will be given thor ough training in the duties devolving upon their shoulders, that they may conduct the bushes of the church when the time for their services arrives.
 The pastor, of.cials, and congrega- ton are looking forward to the best and most progressive year in the his- tory of the young church.

READY FOR CENSUS
cANvAssERs TO BEGIN WORK ON
 SUNDAY SCHOOL STATISTICS.
Thursday is Day Set Apart for the Work But Preparations Will Be- ain in sunday Schools
 Today.

To secure a census of all those avail able for Sunday School work, and also in pursuance of the order of the last County Sunday School Convention. a house to house visitation will be made in Montgomery county on Thursday. At this time the churches and Sunday Schools will band themselves together for a common end. No denominational differences will be recognized. and as far as possible no pair of workers will be of the same denomination. The visitors work is limited to call and the extending of an invita- tion on behalf of all of the churches of the county and securing record of the people in the house so called upon. The direct personal work is left for the church for which a preference is made.
 In order that every home in the coun- ty may be visited on the same day, fl is necessary that the territory be di- vided into sections with chairman who in turn apportions out the work to the visitors. Each visitor is ex- pected to visit about fifty or sixty homes during the day, that no one may be omitted from complete list.
 When the work is finally completed by the visitors. cards will be made out that the pastor or Sunday School superintendent of the church for which a preference has been expressed may pay the person a call and talk the the matter over thoroughly.
 Today the several churches and Sum day Schools of Montgomery will per feet their arrangements of every de- tail, that there may be no confusion as to territory. A headquarters will bt named Ito which the workers are to re. port on the completion of the territorS assigned them.

A class for young men and women over the age of sixteen is to be opened shortly after the opening of the lower grades. Every child that will attend the school will be an employe of the cotton mills, who on account of his hours at the mill have not the oppor- tunity of attending day school.

Preparations are in progress by which the Salvation Army will be en- abled to open their night school in West End on the evening of october 5. The homes of seventy-fve or 100 people of the eighborhood have been visited by officers of the army and the names of their children with their ages have been enrolled on the roster of the school.
 In every case Captain Odom states the people were enthusiastic ovcr the prospect of their children receiving the rudiments of an education. They saw from the benefits which their Children derived from the term of last year that the time was not wasted, and that education Aof their children was too im- portant matter to be neglected. 1
