COTTON IS BURNED
THTRTY-THREE BALES DESTROYED
 AT TYLER STATION.
Nesterday's Session of the Circuit Court of Dallas County Was Very Busy One--Other
 selma News.

Selma. Sept. Especial D--A car containing thirty three bales of cot ion which was standing on a side-track at Tyler station, on the Western Raii- way of Alabama, thirteen miles from selma, was discovered on ire this morning about 4 o'clock, The fire was discovered by Mir. Minter, who lives near the station, and who quickly aroused some neighbors, who quickly him in his efforts to extinguish the flames.
 By hard work the station house at Tyler was saved from being destroyed by the ire. Practically all of the cotton which was on the freight car was destroyed, very little of it being saved, as the car was a mass of flames when the fire was first discovered early this morning. The loss is esti- mated to be about $2.000.
 How the fire originated Is not known, but 1t is thought that sparks from the night passenger train between Montgomery and Selma. and which passed Tyler a few minutes before 10 o'clock last night. must have got among the cotton. and that the cotton burned all during the night and that it was early this morning before they got under good headway: The cotton which was destroyed by the fire was loaded upon the car at Tyler yester- day afternoon and turned oyer to the railroad.

PARSONS BATHROOM
DIVIDES HIS FLOCK
Old-Time Pennsylvanians Regard 1t
as Expensive Luxury, But It's
Coming Nevertheless.

PENNSBURG. Pa. July $50 cha
grined were the progressive members
Of the Sumneytown Lutheran charge
over the defeat OF their proposition to
place a bathroom in the parsonage md
the adverse comment aroused elsewht re
by The congregations attitude. that they
have decided to provide a bathroom for
the parsonage, even though a few ad-
vocates Of the Improvement must bear
the entire expense.
Word was received this week that
the Rev. Charles F. Dapp, the pastor,
who has spent the greater part Of the
last year in study in Germany. Will ar
rive home about the middle OF the sum-
mer. and the bathroom advocates pro-
pose to have the desired alterations
made IN the parsonage prior to his re-
turn. They declare that many members
Of the two congregations in the charge
Sumneytown and Keelor's ChUrch-now
regret that they voted against the bath
room. having allowed themselves TO be
influenced by a few Of the older mem
bers who argued that bathrooms are IN
necessary Injuries
It is intimated that il the matter could
again be brought before the congrega-
lions there would be a large majority
in favor of a bathroom.
