THE GOSPEL SHIP
Is Coming; She's Coming Round the
Bend. Rev. Vedder Got Left in
Manning. Walked Home

A week or two ago Rev. Vedder
went up to Dedham to help the pas
tor there in revival meeting. Com
ing home he reached Manning just in
time to see the Audubon train pull
out in the morning and leave him on
the platform of the Milwaukee sta
ton.
After little meditation on the dis
appointments in life he concluded to
to count the ties between there and
Gray when he became so much in
terested that he came on down to
Ross where he waited for the evening

WHY JAIL BIRDS OFTEN
 VISIT FORMER PRISON HOME

If they have any money remember the prisoners by sending them food and dainties on holidays, but there isn't much of that. There was one woman who came around for a long time after she had spent couple of months in a cell here. She wasn't typical of her sex, however. She said that she was so fond of the place that 1t was just as good as taking any outing to come down and look around. It was a hard job to convince her that this was not a pleas- ure resort and finally she stayed away. She was nothing more than a crank, though
 "Of course, this is only a detention prison and it does not go so hard with the prisoners as in place like Sing Sing. Yes, l have worked in Sing Sing, and while they do not hang around the walls there, it Is not uncommon for a prisoner to come back to renew acquaint- ances with the keepers-I mean others than those who return against their will It has always been a puzzle to men who run prisons to understand why these fe- lows come back. I shouldn't think that anybody who had ever been inside of prison would want to return after he had passed the doors."

RAILROADS FILE
 THEIR ANSWERS
CLAIM IS MADE THAT ADVANCE IN WAGES AND COST OF MATE RIAL MAKES ADVANCE IN FREIGHT RATES NECESSARY.

Houston, Tex, August 23.-Following the conference of general attorneys of all Texas railroads held here yesterday an- swers were today forwarded to the inter- state commerce commission to the com plaint against the advance in rates re- gently filed by the Texas railroad com- mission. The general tenor of the sepa- rate answers is that the advance is justi- fled because of the increased operating expenses caused by new state and federal laws.
 H. M. Garwood, general attorney of the Hartman lines, speaking for all the at torneys, said the railroads as whole would show that since 1903 when the last advance was made in rates, the increase In wages and the cost of material Of every character had been enormous, and would set forth the cost of labor and material in every particular.

OYSTER ARRIVES
 FOR REGULAR DUTY
FIRST BIvALVES HAVE BEEN RE- CEIVED AND RESTAURANTS RE- PORT THAT DEMAND so FAR IS ONLY FAIR"

The first oysters have been in Birming- ham for a week or more, and the pro- prietors of restaurants which have them on their bills of fare say the demand Is fair, all things considered. Most of the bivalves offered at this early season are being shipped from Mississippi.
 The call of the walters in the Greek restaurants for Half fry and Half stew" brings to mind the enjoyment of the late fall and winter months, when the demand for oysters is excessive. While the bivalve now offered is strong re- hinder of an oyster, it is rather disap- pointing It is small and poor, and has not the flavor and body which the cooler months will give it.
 The rule generally followed by oyster eaters is that oysters are good only dur ing the months which have an ''r' inolud- ed in their spelling. These months ex- tend from September to April. However, the oyster does not begin to have the savor which characterizes 1t until Novem- Der.
 But the oyster is in Birmingham and there are many who welcome Its arrival.

 The time has come now that something more than appeals should be made to suppress the deplorable instruction ex- isting in the Birmingham district Mid night murders and assassinations have been perpetrated by lawless bands of conspirators; arson has been committed; residences dynamited and today we hear of a trestle on branch road of the Louisville and Nashville, near Morris, that was blown up last night; and worse them all, that almost unmentionable crime, the criminal assault of a white woman by a negro, at East Thomas, the result no doubt of the horribly demoral- ized condition of the miners strike.

Police Grapbhng With
 Tigers M Birmingham

The police department is now eonduct- ing incessant warfare on the blind tigers which have grown so bold and numerous. Conditions appear to be growing worse in the matter of violations of the prohibi- tion law and the police officers are being instructed and reminded daily to keep out letter.
 It seems that the negroes are opening up places which are almost equally as bad as were the dives which gave so much trouble when the saloons were open. This matter is the most serious with which the police now have to deal. The places are hard to find and the violaters are hard to catch. However, officers have
