Tuscaloosa, September 2-(Speeial 1.-The Tuscaloosa County Baptist association is holding a well attended meeting at Holt, just four miles out from this city. The association convened yesterday morning. All day and well up into the night tho programme extended yesterday, and a most interesting and useful day was spent. The church which is entertain ing the association is a new one, and does great credit to the little city of Holt. The association was called to order by Nod orator Henry B. Foster of this city. and the morning devotional exercises conduct ed by the Rev. - o. Y. Ray. Judge Foster was reelected moderator at the outset and continued to preside.
 The introductory sermon was delivered in forceful style by the Rev. o. P. Lang ston. In the afternoon the report on state missions was read by A. D. Kilian of Holt and discussed by J. T. Mckee. A. T. Camp, D. z. Wooley, s. O. Y. Ray, and Dr. B. F. Giles. The report on home missions was read by the Rev. O. P. Langston. The Rockcastle church was re- ceived into the association. The principal address of the afternoon, which was ex- ceedingly interesting, was by Dr. George w. Macon. The night session was devoted principally to Sunday school work and pertinent subjects were discussed by many of the prominent workers in the county. A permanent committee on aged and inc firm ministers was appointed at the days session.
 A feature of yesterday was the elegant picnic dinner served by the members of the Holt Baptist church, this being one evidence of their warm hospitality.
 The Feed oil company is the name of q new enterprise just incorporated here. The company was organized with George A. l Searcy as president and George D. John- ston, Jr., secretary. This new concern is in fact a successor to the Tuscaloosa rope and yarn mills, which were destroyed l by fire two years ago, and which has l not since been reorganized. The new ma | chnery for this new company, however l is ready to be installed, and the plant will
 be operated at the same site as the yarn l mills, about 12 miles from the city at Sa- 1 mantha. This location is especially de. sirable for the farmers in the upper end oi 1 the county, and it will afford a splendid 1 market for the cotton seed of that dis. l trict.
