 Rev. John Matthews Is one of the most powerful preachers in the State and his appeal was irresistible
 The services will be continued throughout the week. including next Sunday. Next Sunday morning the ser vices will be Home Coming Monday night the Demopolis Rifles will attend the services in a body, and each night there will be some new feature in the meeting.

 The river at this point is rising. ow- ing to the heavy rainfall above this place, the rivers having risen about three feet in the past week and the probability Is that they will go still higher in the next few days.

LESTER BILL STICKS
JUDGE SEMMES REFUSES TO QUAsH
 INDICTMENTS
Lawyers Argue Motion to Mobile Court for Man Accused of Co., ercing Hardaway
 Young,

Mobile. Feb. 22.-(Special )-After an earnest but vain endeavor on the part of attorneys for Fleetwood Lester charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. to have the indictment quashed on the grounds that the grand Jury which returned 1t was improperly drawn and also that twelve of the grand jurors failed to concur in it. Judge Semmes today overruled all the motions.
 r The original motion contained twelve sections. five of which, alleging mis- 5oinder of counts In that count one charged false pretenses, which is of the nature of and punished as larceny. Count two charges the procuring of a signature by false pretenses, which is of the nature of and punished as forg- cry, and also charging multiplying and duplieity of counts, were omitted before the document was filed with the court today
 The attorneys endeavored to bring out before the court the alleged fact that less than twelve of the grand tu- TOTS heard the testimony in the case. but were not allowed to do so. Judge Semmes holding that a member of the jury could not testify as to what went on in the jury room.
 An effort was also made to have Solicitor Stallworth produce his record Dooh Oi the uellDeTatlODS O1 the Jury, the lawyer declaring that he expected to show that the indictment was drawn without warrant of law.
 The court made the same ruling in this matter as In the others and fol- lowed 1t later by refusing to allow Stenographer William J. Goodman to divulge any information he had gained in his capacity as stenographer for Solicitor Stallworth.
 Thomas Douglass McMillan, a mem Der of the jury, was placed on the wit ness stand, but was not allowed to tes- tify as to anything that went on in the jury room. An effort was also made to show that McMillan was summoned simply as Douglass McMillan and had no legal right to serve on the jury.
 Nearly every question asked by the counsel for the defendant was object ed to by counsel for the prosecution and their, objections were sustained by the court.
 In every instance exceptions were filed by the attorneys but the argu- ment of the motions occupied so much time that Judge Semmes decided 10 hear the demurrers argued later. They will be heard next Saturday morning.
