A FIRE AT BREWT0N
LARGE OIL MILL IS TOTALLY
 DESTROYED.
The Loss as Estimated At Eishty-five Thousand Dollars With Nc Imsurance--Of Incendiary
 0rfwfu.

Brewton. Nov, 29-- (Special)- Shortly after s o'clock this morning the oil mill plant belonging to the Brewton oil and Manufacturing con pany was totally destroyed by Ire, causing a loss estimated at soO,VVO on plant and s:ao.oo0 on raw material anu finished prpduct. with no insurance on either.
 The mill was running until IF o'clock last night when 1t was shut down for the week, and all the em- ployes went home except the watch man. The fire was first discovered ID the meal house where there is no machinery. and the opinion is very strong that 1t was of incendiary ort- gin. All that is now left standing o1 the big plant. is the boiler, smokestacK and hull house.
 Three box cars belonging to lns Louisville and Nashville Railroad tnat were standing on the sidetrack. one loaded with seed and the other two empty, were destroyed.
 The fire department made as quick a run as was possible. but owing 70 not having sufficient hose to reach the building, could not do very effective
 Afterat the first alarm was turned in. A second alarm was sounded few minutes later. causing the horses at- tached to the hose wagon to start on another rum The driver, n. M. Franks. was standing on the ground holding the reins and he was thrown violently against platform. receiving internal injuries. but just how badly he is hurt cannot at present DC oeter1 mined. The wagon struck an electric light pole on st. Joseph Avenue. break ing the pole in two, about half way up. Earl Harold received bad cut on inc foot while at work at the fire.
 The mill was built five years ago ton oil mills in this section. The sin- nery belonging to the plant was de- gfroyed by fire little over 8 month ago It is not known at this time whether the plant will be rebuilt or not.

Sessions Marked With Large Attendance. MANY HISTORICAL SKETCHES Dr. Sampey Speaks on Ministerial
 Education. Statistical Report of M.. M. Wood Cove cred Eishty-Eight Years-- Interesting Address Made
 Uroa Baptist Creed
 kx Rev. ". ,. B.
 Cox.
 
MANY HISTORICAL SKETCHES

With the large city auditorium filled with Baptists from many parts of the State the third and closing day of the Centennial Celebration of the Baptists of Alabama dwelt mostly with statis- tics and historical sketches. The morning session was interesting with an address purely doctrinai. delivered by Rev. W J. E. Cox, of Mobile. John R Sampey, of the faculty of the Theo- logical College at Louisville Ky. talk ed of theological education, while Sec- retary M NJ. Wood spoke of statistics in minute detail.
 While the past two days of the con vention celebration have been well att tended there was an additional att tendance upon both the morning and the night sessions at the auditorium on Sunday. In none of the Baptist churches were there services. the pas tors announcing that their congrega- tions would be given the opportunity of uniting in the celebration at the au- ditorium.
 Dr. Sampey the first speaker on the morning program, ran back to the early work for ministerial education, which began in 1888, when the conven- ton gave $43.25 towards this cause. He told of the opening of the school for manual labor at Greensboro in 1885,
 
 sale of the property. An account of the establishment of Howard College at Marion in 1s47 when the school was called The Howard Literary and Clas- sieal School" was also given.
 Tn 1S43 with a fund of $25,000 au. thorized to be raised. a chair of theol- ogy was established at Howard College and in 1856 the fund had heen in creased to $126,o00. Jerry H. Brown of Sumter County, very rich 1aynian. contributed s25.000 for the support of a professor of theology at Howard supported twelve preachers and later on sixteen preachers, out of his own purse. In 1860 the fund for ministerial education had grown to $279,550, but this. like most other values of the South, was wiped away by the war.
 Education at Howard.
 Shortly after the war. said Mir. Sam pey. Dr. J. L. M. Curry. the noted pubIicist. diplomat and preacher. was elected to the presidency of Howard, and through his energetic work the school was again started on the path way of prosperity, despite the fact that the resources of the country had been greatly depleted by the civil war. While 1t is now doing what the mem- bers of the organization consider a good work, 1t is a fact that the sup- port of the institution is nothing like 1t should be to meet all requiren en ia. This feature was strongly brought out by Mir. Sampey.
