DR. A. P. MONTAGUE SCORES SCHOOLS
 IN THE NORTH

Alexander City, July 12.-(Special.)- J. There has seldom been an address deliv- cred in alexander City of such forceful effect as that which raised the large Alex ander City audience at the Baptist church to such dramatic feeling as was delivered Sunday morning by Dr. A. P. Montague. president of Howard college, in which he warned the young men and women of the south against the antagonistic ideas being filtered into the schools and colleges of the north.
 Among the arguments from domination of these new thought, anti Christ teachers, he made the following asserton: ''The south is today the home of the finest Americanism, the truest patriotism, and the most luminous faith in God in the American continent. The south is almost the only home of these high attributes of a loyal people. True education, the education of the faithful denominational college. sees in the largest intellectual development only the channel through which the tide of the hearts adoration should set to its maker, God. The safety for southern boys and girls lies In their eQucaIlOn III SOulIeTu bcilOOlS duu SOulu- ern colleges. So it is our high duty to make our educational Institutions equal to the best on earth"
 pr. Montague went forcefully into the anti-Chrst ideas of some of the northern college professors, who to make 1t the more dangerous, attribute to themselves the title of minister of the gospel, placed in high authority and in both public and behind closed doors grind out their dangerous soul destroying ideas to the confding student and unsuspecting to the mothers and fathers at home.
 It was one of the greatest addresses ever heard here and he was induced to proceed along the same lines in the night service.
 Dr. Montague returned to his home in Birmingham this morning.

CHANGE TO STEEL,
Finished Product Takes the Place of
 Iron In Many Things.

From the Iron Trade Review.
 The strong tendency to substitute steel for cast iron wheels in both steam and electric railway service illustrates distinctly the constant tend ency to change the character of iron or steel for uses already well known. These shifts are going on constantly. The city of Baltimore has just let a contract for steel pipe for its new high pressure fire system, although cast iron pipe has heretofore been used al- most exclusively. In so common a thing as door hinge there has been the change from cast iron to rolled steel. In rails the change has begun. It Is years ago that special steel began to be adopted in frog and crossing work, but 1t Is only of late that rail- road engineers have found it desirable to rails of special quality in long stretches of track where the traffic is particularly heavy. The time was when the duty was light on main line rails, and steel of special durability was re- garded as desirable only at points of special track construction. When the destructive tendency becomes great enough, it pays to buy special steel even at greatly increased first cost, for tne reason that Wltn snort HIS tno replacement cost is heavy and interest cost is approximately less important. Thus 1t Is change in the duty the rail must perform that has been chiefly instrumental in bringing about the rail of special quality. The improvements in manufacturing processes are being made largely because the demand is arising for the product.
 The steel wheel promises such dur ability as compared with the cast iron wheel that 1t appears strange. at first glance, that 1t was not exploited sooner.

TALKS ABOUT FULTON CASE

Bessemer, July 12.-(Special )-That Sat urday was large pay day was very evil dent in the police court this morning Mayor Lewis having 23 cases to dis pose of. There were eight plain trunks and as many more disorderly, while sev- eral were on trial for vagrancy.
 The mayor feels highly gratified over the action of the congregation at the Metho- dist church yesterday At the call of MT J. H. Hard, member of the Law and Order league, the entire audience rose and promised to give Mayor Lewis their hearty support in his fight to stamp out the ''blind tigers of the city. The mayor desires to thank each and every one of them and assure them that he will do all in his power to keep down the lawless element in the town. There Is still feeling among some of the citizens that the mayor was to blame for the shooting of James Fulton Saturday. The mayor desires to make the following statement:
 q desire to say for the benefit of those who are under the impression that the shooting of Fulton was connected with the fact of Johnson securing evidence against the prohibition violators that it was in no way connected with Johnson's 8 work, and the fight occurred over pure ly personal matter. Johnson made no statement on the witness stand Saturday in any way connected with Fulton, who was there merely as a spectator" It is thought that this will clear up the mis- understanding.
 Johnson was released today by Justice of the Peace w. P. Gum on a $500 bond. which was at once signed by Il citizens of Bessemer. Johnson's preliminary hear ing will probably come up in few days.
