GET SPIRIT RIGHT
LAST ADDRESS or REV. C'
 wILMER.
|Remember Tthat Man h Spirit Ana Body And That Jesus Game to Save The Whole Man.

Rev. C. P. wilmer delivered the last of his three sermons on the Kingdom of God, yesterday at the monday ser vices in the Majestic Theatre.
 '.Remember that man Is spirit and body and that Jesus came to save the whole man. not souls." he explained:
 And remember at the same time that the Kingdom of Heaven is within you. You must get your spirit right with God, in line with his purposes. Then all the rest of your nature, your mental and bodily functions will fall In the right place. Your life will be unity of harmonious material, mental and spiritual clements free from anxiety.
 What really troubles us Is not so much the absence of things that we desire, as the conflicts within us, or the desires themselves.
 Man is citizen of the times. a citizen of eternity, he is a creature of the flesh. yet son of God. We all want to do right. to be loving and spiritual, to conquer the animal within us, to overcome the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes. The spirit Iusteth against the flesh and the flesh against the spirit. So we wabble. We have no clear vision. We are morally crossed eyed. If we indulge the flesh, our conscience troubles us.
 "The natural In us is very capable of being irrigated by the water of life and becoming what Swedenborg called Spiritual in natural" The man who loves woman whose love is also spiritual is happier with her than the man with any women whose body he desires The man who lives a life of fleshy indulgence is not only sinful. but he Is foolish. foolish from the worldly point of view"
 Rev. William Rollins. of Sweet Briar Institute, Va. will deliver the monday addresses during the remainder of the week.

He and Phillips were friends and Phillips had just ask ed him to take a drink when Crutch- field pulled his pistol and shot him three times at close range. making Phillips a cripple for life. The defense was that Crutchfeld was an eptleptic and mentally unsound.

OPINION OF \ PROMINENT BANKER AT UNION SPRINGS
Bullock County Does Not Want
 Dispensary Back.
Negro . Large Economic Factor and White Citisens See Impr0yement in Hin under the Present
 Anti-LiQuor
 Law.,
nY CHAs. n. HAROLD.


 Union Springs. March 24.-(Special.) -One of the predictions of . banker here Is that if present conditions conv tinue the negro will be more saving. He will acquire land. He will be cul- tivated in thrift. As rule he spends his all. He did this before prohibition hit the town and the State. But q startling proportion of his wages was spent for whiskey. He spent more of it than he really knew about.
 'Now," continued the banker, "this prohigate negro is stili improvident He spends practically all he makes. But he does not spend any money for whis- key. Of course. mean the average negro who works on the farm. There fore. he must spend more for his ma terial and moral benefit. He must buy more shoes, more clothes. more sub- stantfal food.
 "rn my opinion. if the officers of the law keep their eyes open and run down the blind tigers. the negroes will ma actually a surplus of money that he needs neither for a comfortable living nor for whiskey. He will forget the drinks. Then he will turn to something for an investment. Then he will ask for terms on which he might buyfland or a house. Already I have noticed that he is buying land in lots of twep- ty or forty acres."
 Here, as In score or other towns or Alabama. the step to prohibition was from a dispensary. Once those who now favor prohibition fought strenu- ously for the dispensary. They got 1t for Union Springs under the Moody act. They have had 1t ever since. The dispensary did not prosper as 1t may have prospered. It did not learn pro- portionately what it did in Other com munities but the proceeds were put to excellent use and the citizens point proudly to their magnificent school house, costing. about $s5.0oo: point proudly to paved streets and sidewalks,

 Early psohibition ip Bullock county was . failure. Az In Butler county the sentiment seemed not ripe for the remedy. It was ls8isDated on the peo- pie without their choice and blind ti- rery abounded and fiourished. Juries would not convict and oficers winked at violations. A blind tiger was liable to be convicted by . jury of perjury 1T he got on the stand ana swore he was violating prohibitions.
 The people did not vote on prohioi- ton when the wave swept the state m 1907 and before. It ts q safe guess. however. that they would have voted dry if the opportunity had come. With an apparent sentiment, therefore, in favor of enforcing the law. conditions are much better than a decade ago.

Tuscumbia, March 24.--(Special. )-- It is probable that the new court house will not be used for the ensuing term of the Colbert County Circuit Court, which meets in this city the first Mon day in April.
 The contractors have been rushing the work on the building in order to have 1t in readiness for the spring term of court. but as it seems to be impos- sible to complete the entire building it is given out that the commissioners of the county will not use the building until 1t has been entirely completed and accepted by them from the contrac- tors. The opera house will be used for the April term of court.
