TOM HARLAN'S CASE
 GOES OVER AT FLORENCE

Florence. March 19-(SpeciaI. 1.-Two small defects in the principal indict- ment. postponed the day of reck oning for Tom Harlan. formerly a produce drummer. against whom seventeen in dictments were pending in the Circuit Court.
 Harlan's case was called this after noon. The first count to be taken up was that of embedding $50 from the West-HilI Company. of Russellville. When the demurrers were sustained, Solicitor R. T. Simpson abandoned the indictments and asked Judge Alston to hold the defendant to the next grand jury, which was done. Harlan's bond was fixed at $1,000.
 Harlan was defended by his half brother. who is a prominent attorney of Wedowee.
 It appears likely that a case against him for selling whiskey. which Is set for tomorrow, will fail on account of the absence of the States witness. A bench warrant was Issued today for the witness by Judge Aston. but so far has not been served.
 The jury in the case of George Me- Gravy, a well-to-do farmer in the east end of the county. who Is charged with violating the prohibition laws, failed to agree and was discharged this af- ternoon when 1t was reported that one of the jurors livery stable was on fire.
 The prosecution was instigated by the father of the States witness. The defense claimed that the boy stole some blackberry wine from the de- fendant and that he received no pay for 1t.

 DAYS SUBJECT.
Rev. w. N. Claybroek, Sf St. Mary's Church, Birmingham Delivered An Interesting Address
 At the Majestic.

strong address on tho meeting Of uod's love. was made yesterday at the noon services in the Majestic Theatre by Rev. W. N. Claybrook. St. Mary's Church. Birmingham.
 Long, long ago." he said, T was visiting a home in my parish and while there a little child did something wrong.
 If you aren't good. God won't love you," said the mother.
 That woman made a great mistake and taught the child a great falsehood. But her words indicate a conception that many have. Hut remember God loves you not because you are good, but because you are his children.
 Another time went to call on one of my parishioners. She had a child who had been deformed from birth. It's mind had never developed and yet it lived to be twenty years of age. And yet during all those years the mother loved the child as she loved none of the others and at any time would have been glad to have given up her life for 1t. There was nothing in the child to make anybody love 1t and in fact there was everything about, to make anyone dislike it. The mother loved the child, not for its quality or It's character, but because 1t was her child.
 Her love was divine. God loves us in just the same way. only many times more intensely. ',.=.zs .'.4=.
 We should in return love God and serve him without fear. And we should do so because he is our father. If we are good to gain something by 1t we are poor sort and will be considered as such.
 mands that we should not disgrace his name by our actions. God does not ex- pect us to be perfect children. but on ly to love him and try to gain in grace.

NEGRO ENDEAvORS |
 TO PROVE AN ALIBI

There is no proposition of law to guide the jury in determining whether or not Andrew Henderson, a negro. shall be sentenced to ninety-nine years in the penitentiary for the offense of robbery. but just the common sense and Judgment of the twelve men. For the question has resolved itself into one of identity.
 Henderson puts as his defense, that he was not one of the three negroes who held up J. A. Robertson. white man. at the point of a pistol. and pro- ceeded to loot his store. He offers an alibi, introducing the evidence of a rail- road foreman. Jones by name. who de- clares that Henderson was in his em- ploy at Helena, on the date of the al- legged robbery in Beat 10. Montgomery County.
 There were three negroes who robbed MT. Robertson. and two of them. Ed White and Jim Burford. have been sent up for ninety-nine years each. Suspicion rested On Henderson as the third robber. but. though he has been identified by MT. Robertson. he still contends his innocence. and the plea of mistaken identity is presented in de. fense.

ever. they discovered that persecution could not shake him. and that the more they reviled him the kindlier he be- came. This spirit broke their opposi- ton. The village that treated him worst soon was beseeching him to re- main with them permanently as their "holy man." Already he has had con- spicuous successes fin the way of con- verts won to Christ.
 Winning by witnessing.
 Up in a village near Sendai, Japan. the town drunkard became a Christian. Eis wife followed suit. Straightway such a transformat ton in his character ensued that the whole community took notice. The result was that the eA- tire community turned to Christianity. either with respect and deference. of In open conviction and conversion. The apostolic method of increasing the Christian Church was by the witt ness of the disciples. Every Christian testified to his faith This he made his chief business in life.
 The same principle holds true in ko. req. There 1t is common thing for a man to move his home and business from g Christian village. off to a non- Christian village. in order that he may there be witness and teacher of the Jesus way.
 One of the missionary bishops al China was surprised to have a request from a theological student that he ba permitted to go to a certain part of China, after his training had been com pleted. He explained his unusual re- quest by saying that during the Boxer days of 1900 his family had lived in that town. His Christian father was called out by the Boxers and given his choice of recanting or perlshing. When he remained faithful he was cut down. Then his mother was brought out into the road and shown the dts membered body of her husband. and bidden to burn incense before an Idol and to repudiate the Jesus religion. She told them that they could cut out her tongue. but that they could not make her deny her Lord. Thereupon she. too, was slain. A young sister was put through the same ordeal. and remained faithful unto death. "Now." said the young student, q want to go back to that village to represent Jesus Christ; I want my old neighbors to know that there is not a shred of bitterness in my heart. and that my supreme ambition is there to live for the Master for whom my family died"
 1t was glowing instances of this sort that made even the hordes ot ignorant Chinese aware, after the fu. tile persecution of 1900. that Christian ity is ineradicable in China. What tho Sanhedrin could not do In the way of plotting out Christianity; what Rome could not do; and what all the leagued powers of earth and darkness through the centuries since have been unable to do. is attested by the worldwide prevalence of Christianity. with men and women by the myriads of legions who are willing to go to death for the sake of the Name.

NEW ELECTRIC LINE
TT WILL CONNECT EUFAULA AND
 LOTHIAN.
Citisens Agr<e to Put Up the Money to Construct Railroad in the Wlregrass Sec-
 tion.

Eufaula. March 19.-(Special.) )-The conference between the representatives of Dothan and the Railroad Committee of this city, held in the of1ce of the Commercial National Bank here late yesterday afternoon, resulted In the agreement upon a favorable proposi- ton to construct an electric line and an effort will be put forth to meet the same promptly.
 A statement was made by Captain Smith that it had been given out by an expert engineer that 35,0o0 horse- power could be developed by damlng the Choctahatchee near Blackmon's Mills and If Eufaula would contribute an equal share Dothan would contrib ute likewise and the road could be built for $100.0oo. No mention was made of connecting Abbeville, but a more direct route was determined upon.
 It was further stated that corpo- ration capitalized at $400.000 was ready to begin work as soon as both cities were in position to guarantee the sums subscribed -tt' stf
 The citizens here heartily eoncurred and decided to. call a. mass meeting at an early date to devise means for rais- ing the required amount. To this end 1t Is highly probable that action will be taken in the matter at the earliest possible moment and the Dothan com mittee will either be called in consul tation again 'or be notified by mail os the action of the citizens.
 It will be remembered that it was de- cided by vote of the citizens a short time ago that an appropriation of the dispensary funds should be made to- wards the proposed road that was then being agitated to connect Abbeville with this city and it is probable that the same course will be pursued in this instance and the remainder will be se- cured by private subscriptions.
 Nothing further can possibly develop now until after the call of the mass meeting. the exact date for the con vening of which has not yet been der termined upon.
