COTTON IS BURNED
JOHN H. FLOYD OF LEE COUNTY
 LOSES TEN BALES.
Bales Set on Fire im Yard of Farmer whe has Been Persecutcd-
 Officers are at Work.

opelika, Oct 23.-(SpeeiaL )--John II. Floyd, who resides about two and one half miles East of Opelika. on q awakening this morning about 1 o'clock discovered fire in the grove near his house, and where his cotton was stor- cd.
 After dressing hurriedlly, and sound- ing hiE farm bell. he found his cotton was on fire. and from indications. 1t had been burning about two or three hours. The fire seemed to have started in the middle of the group of bales.
 There were twenty-five bales of cot ton piled up in his grove. and of this number ten were nearly totally des- troyed.
 The origin of the fire Is unknown hut indications point strongly to the fact that 1t was of intendiary ogigin.
 MT. Floyd was shot from ambush at his home, something over a year ago, later, he received a note stating that if he did not move, he would be killed Previously to this an effort was made to burn his barn and at a later date. his barn was burned.
 The officers of the county will look into the matter, and see If they can get facts sufficient to authorize them to make arrests.
 The gin house of J. T. Yarbrough of Beulah. this county, was destroyed by fire tl1ls afternoon, about 12:45 o'clock Tho gin was in operation at the time and it Is thought, the fire was caused from a loose match that was in the cotton. One bale of cotton was de- stroyed, and a large amount of cotton seed was also consumed. This gin had been in operation for about six years. and was a great con
 venience to the farmers in that com munity. Mr. Yarbrough only carried small amount of insurance on the building and machinery.

TEBBETTS MAY LOSE
HE FAILS TO PRESIDE AT ANNIs-
 TON MEETING.
Seven Hundred Republicans At Rally and Appeal Is Made For Party Spirit - Extravaganee Of
 Conner Attacked.

< Anniston, Oct. 23.-(speciaL)--A tel egram was received yesterday from Major w. F. Tebbetts, of Mobile, from Birmingham stating that he would not be able to preside at the big hepupn- can rally which was held at Nopie Street Theatre tonight on account Of his having been called home to Mobile on business. and in connection with this fact 1t is believed that there is the story of another 'pie light" of National interest in which Anniston will be the battle-ground, or. at least, on cor the chief centers of activity.
 It has been learned that the motive which actuated local Republicans in extending the invitation to Major Teb- betts was in the nature of a harmony trump play. In the fight between the Scott and Thompson factions over the appointment of a postmaster at An niston last spring. a fight which assum ed National proportions, resulting In the Calhoun county executive commit tee of the Republican party taking the initial step in the endorsement of the presidential candidacy of William H Taft, Major Tebbetts sided with the Thompson wing, which lost the post office by winning the National fight.
 This action on the part of Major Tebbetts, 1t is said, placed his place in
 
 Frank H. Lathrop. chairman of the Republican campaign committee In Alabama would like to succeed Major Tebbetts as collector of the port at Mobile, due to which fact 1t is be- iieved that he used his influence to prevent Major Tebbetts' presiding al the rally here.
 Addresses by Congressional Candi- date J. o. Middleton. F. D. Kimball and John T. BIakemore. with music by brass band were features of the Republican campaign meeting, q meeting which Chairman Lathrop acknowledges to be an initial step to- ward an elevated reorganization of the Republican party fin Alabama with a view toward breaking the solid Demo cratic vote.
 Republicans from all over the State, about TOO attended the meeting and 1t has brought to light facts which are of unusual interest,
 MT. -Middleton's remarks were devot- ed to defense of the Republican is- sues from 1892 to the present. He quoted statements as to the extrava gance of Comer's administration allee. ing that he has used educational and old soldier appropriations for the run ming expenses of the State, pleading for the building up of a new and milf tant party In Alabama.
 Mir. Kimball spoke in the interest of the laborers and Mir. Blakemore at- tackled Mir. Bryan and his policies.
 W. ?. Tebbstts was present and the fact that he was not on the platform with Chairman Lathrop and others, it Is believed, tends to confirm the belief that the two are at variance. Teb. betts arrived tonight and sat in the audience.

PRESBYTERIANS WIN
UNIVERSITY TEAM DEFEATS MIS-
 SISSIPPI AT FOOTBALL.
Close Score Between College Men At Columbus, Mlas., With Vie-
 tory For Tennessee

Columbus, Miss. Oct, 2s-(Special)- Had Dorreh succeeded in kicking goal, the game of football played here this the Mississippi A. and M. College and the southwestern Presbyterian Univer- sity. which was won out by the Ten nesseeans by score of six to five might have resulted differently.
 In the second half during the first five minutes of play Captain Furn1an of the A and M. made a touch down and had Dorreh's attempt to kick goal been successful, the Mississippians would have been even with the Tennesseeans who made their six scores in the first half
 Dorreh lacked a few inches of put ting the ball across the pole and no other score having been forthcoming Captain Cheeks men were victorious. The touchdown of the Tennesseeans resulted from Rogers inside kick and the Mississippians claimed a foul on the play. The ball landed several feet inside the line and rolled over, but Referee Connor called 1t fair and after the two teams had wrangled several minutes over the decision, play pro ceeded.
 The bucking of McInnis and fleet
 
 and Dorroh were features of the game Dent. although kept out of the game by bad knee, took Morris place dur ing the last five minutes of the last half and played brilliantly.

INTEREST LACKING NO DIVERSITY IN THE HORSE
 SHOW. Spectators Were Close and Many of Them I~ft Grand stand Be- fore the Show Was Over,

Too much of a sameness, that was the trouble, the conspicuous lack of variety; just buggy and saddle horses, first one then the other. and the pub lie would not stand for 1t. Had there been one "Hetherbloom," one Rifle one Gold Heels" anything under the sun that could do other stunts than pull Q vehicle or go under a saddle, the horse show would have been a success but the unutterable lack of change palled, cloyed the appetite. and by the time the third class was show Ing Friday night at the horse show out at the fair grounds the grand stand, that had been packed at the start, looked like an alfalfa field that had been the stamping ground of a hungry swarm of locusts for six months.
 Not a hurdler appeared during the week. not tallyho. not 8 drag not a coach, not a tandem, not a jumper. just intermlnable buggy horses and mounts that one sees on the street day in and day out all the year around. A diversihcation would have launched the horse show nicely in Montgomery with assured success, but now, well next year 1t may or may not be a success.
 The horses that were shown did re- markedly well, considering that they have been doing the same thing every day of their lives since they were first broken.
 Mounts owned by the following named people won in the several classes. respectively. Class Light harness horses: No. 23. name not g0- en in program; J. c. smith and an entry from Highland Farm.

 TKEn yOY OF FORGIVENESS.

THE JOY OF FORGIVENESS.
 The fidelity of the Bible In the por- trayal of character is terrible. There is no varnish or veneer. It pictures It's heroes as they really were. Incl dentaily. here Is evidence of inspira- ton. interested writers of q book or religion would certainly have given us a series of Ideally perfect saints. The Bible gives us men of like passions with ourselves If the characters or the Scriptures were galaxy or im- peccably holy persons. the Bible might make good reading for angels; but It would be of comparatively small nc- count to men. On the contrary, It shows us our fellows striving and fall ing. shining, repenting, believing. We see men in the process. on the way to holiness. We have in the Bible the evolution of the saint. That is the very thing that makes 1t the helptul Book 1t Is. Yet, In Its perverslty. m ndellty has always considered this the most vulnerable point In the Bible. IL trrationally demands that the charac- ters of Holy Writ shall be lmpeccable.
 Tho character of David Is fine ex- qualification of the principles just stated. Ills career Is as fascinating as that of any knight of chivalry. He was a founder of civilization before that of Greece was born. For twenty years the trend or ms llIe was up"eru in glory and goodness
 But In an evil hour this most oril- liant man in Hebrew history buried his glories in nocturnal shame" From the pit in which he had fallen We hear ,as 1t were, his own voice In sol- emn warning, Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fallP'
 God called David to repentance. He warned before He struck. Ho warn cd In order not to strike. Some one quaintly says, 'aHe sends His preacher before Ills executloner." Every sim ner has his Nathan. Alas! Every sin- ner does not heed his Nathan.
 The sincerity of DavId's repentance Is absolute. He makes no plea Of pre- wIous great services to God and relig- lon. He does not claim that reasons of State make it impolitic. If not im- possible for him to go down to the monrner's bench. Down he goes iii sight of all his subjects!
 Ills confession Is explicit. He deals in no platitudes, no inane generalities. He cries, My transgression." My iniquity." "My sin." This evii," My blood d-guiltIness!"
 His penitence Is not judicial. It Is not cornpunction In view of penalty. There are no judicial penalties for an Oriental despot. Murder and adultery on the part of e king are mere pee cadIIlos of which society does not take cognizance. much elss the law. David

, stands in no awe of judicial conse- | quences of his deeds.
 He was far and away. ahead of the utter spiritual obtuseness of the worlo three thousand years ago. He had an | evangelical conception of the nature of sln. He knew what constituted the essence of 1t. what made sin so ex- l ceedingly sinful. It was in that il was done against the person and holi' | ness of God. He was quite up to the New Testament Idea of sin when he cried, Against Thee, Thee only. have
 sinnAd and done thls evil in Thy
 sight" 9od. so he felt the necessity of divlue forgiveness and was corresponiingly bappy when he received 1t. Back of the specific sin, also, he knows there Is a perverted state of the heart which
 has made that sin possible. The re- demptive process stops not with for
 giveness. He cries. Create in me q
 clean heart. o Godi" This Is evange- Heal regeneration. The uprightness of
 his heart now causes him to shout for Joy. and the blessed work of conver- sion is consummated.

 David did not say prayers. He pray cd. It was serious business.
 There is a blessed hselpiuiness in thls Psalm. It has been many a sinners
 handbook to guide him to God. It
 has been his vocabulary of confession.
 The hallslnjah of the converted sin.
 ner can be psychologically accounted for. Such a deliverance from such s source sets the tongue to singing aloud. The lips that the Lord opens instinctively celebrate His praise.
