SEARCH FOR BODIES
STEAM LAUNCH Is USED ON THE
 RIVER.
Relatives of billiard and Harper Have Gone Down the River Where, 1t is Expected, the Bodies
 VIII Re Found.

Early yesterday afternoon steam launch swung out into the flood of the Alabama River, manned by a party in search of the bodies of the five vic- tims of the river. who were drowned Wednesday morning. 5Ts
 The party was headed by kinsmen of Willie Dillard and Tom Harper, two of the ili-fated five, and the expedi- ton will be made far down the river, with watchful eyes, alert for signs of the bodies, which, It is thought, have found lodgement somewhere along the banks, or in the brush and debris, which gathers thick on the sides of the stream.
 According to the course of nature. the bodies should rise to the surface at about Friday evening or Saturday morning. and there is every expecta- tion of discovery by the searching par ty of one or more of the remains, dur ing the present expedition.
 There is much probability. however, of the purpose being thwarted, for the time, as the extremely flooded con- dition of the Alabama has driven the water far beyond the banks, and 1t may be that the bodies have lodged just below the present surface. in the trees and brush which has been in- undated, since the occurrence of We'd nesday.
 And so it looks that the stricken family and the friends of the i've, and others who anxiously await the iden- tification of the unknown of the party. must wait until the waters of the river subside and until the banks. which hedge the river in normal con ditions. shall have been uncovered.
 There is still the theory of some that only four men composed the party which was hurled from the boat into the river at the foot of Commerce Street Wednesday. though the most still contend that there were Ave-

 We had one of the greatest of oon- ventions." said Mir. Elan, .'notwith- standing the downpour of rain.
 "One touching thing about the con- vention was the fact that Captain Dil- lard. whose son and nephew were drowned in the Alabama Rtvef. had in- tended to be a delegate to the con vention. The convention sent him . telegram of coincidence and sympathy. as the heart of every delegate went out to him..
 "At the evening session of the con- lvention. although a storm was raging without, there was large, attendance |. Besides the many speeches there was splendid music by Miss Brown. of Prattville; Miss Randle, of Marion Junction. and by the male quartette. the accomplishments neing by Mrs; Barnes. 1t was great convention ana Prattville did credit to herself in the success achieved under such adverse weather conditions"

GOSPEL OF CHRIST
REV. w. c. WHITAKER CONTINUES
 THURSDAYS DISCUSSION.
Positive Side Of Salvation Stressed
 Before Large Attendance At Noon day Services At the Majestic

There was a good attendance at the monday services at the Majestic The atre, Rev. W. c. Whitaker, rector of St. Johns. Knoxville. again being the speaker.
 Continuing his discussion of the Gospel of Christi as "the power of God and salvationy MT. Whitaker de- yeloped the idea that salvation is not merely negative. that the positive side of salvation needs to be stressed. It Is necessary to be saved from sin but 1t Is highly important to consider what we are saved to become. A farmers crop is not finally saved" until 1t comes to the harvest bearing what fruit it was intended to bear when if was planted. A man Is not finally "saved'' till he becomes that man God had in view when he brought us into the world. The gospel of Christ saves man when under its guidance he comes to himself"
 The Gospel of Christ is Gods power. the highest conceivable force. to bring a man to this state of salvation. It is power because 1t is enlightenment, and enlightenment entering into men en- ergizes them to overcome and become, even as the grass of the field and the leaders of nations. So the Gospel of Christ enlightens men along three lines:
 Christ discloses to men the extent of human capacity. The Son of God he emptied himself of his glory, and from the beginning to the end of his life he never used for himself any power that every one Of us may not use. What ever he was called on to aViieve or to suffer he achieved and suffered within the voluntarily circumscribed limits that we men are forced to observe. We can approximate the character of Christ if we only maintain the rela- strength. trials of fortitude. uncertain-
 Christ disclosed to men the divine good will. In exerting one human ca- pacity the conditions of life imposed by God are propitious. We dare affirm that "this vile world is a friend to grace All the evils Of life work together for good to them that love God Temptation is the channel of strength. treats of fortitude, uncertain ty of faith.
 Christ revealed to men the fullness of opportunity. He brought life and immortality to the light through the Gospel. No longer can 1t be said of the way of salvation flew there be that find it'' for Christ has shown us the eternal demands of that righteous ness which Is like the Fathers. No longer can error be deemed irretriev-

NelD Cause For Haste \ in Extra Session Call

venue iu the trial of all prohibition cases. This latter statute is urged by prohibitionists as necessary to secure convictions after indictment has been iysturned.e .s
 V Another reason urged for an imme- diate special session of the Legisla- turs, fs the fact that the State is known to face a dencit of something like $s00,000. This large deficit is said to have been occasioned by tho heavy appropriations.
 Gossip has 1t that the members of the State government and also of the Legislature do not know what may be done by the legislative body of the State in patching up this deficit. but that after the caii to order, the matter will receive immediate attention.
 That the call for the extra session may be issued with in few days is gossiped as almost certainty. as ru- nor strongly states that the Governor wishes the extra session within as short . time after the resembling Of the Supreme Court as possible.
 The objection has been raised that ali of the courts of the State will be In session at this time, but the Gov ernor, is said to have remarked that all of the members of the Legislature could well afford to come to Montgom- cry for . period of ten or fifteen days on duty for the State.
 In case also that the Supreme Court declares the prohibition law unconsti- tutional. the Governor does not wish liquor dealers to take out licenses even for a short period.
 It has been suggested that In case license for the sale of liquor are talk en out by the dealers, the State will receive funds whereby a large portion of the State deficit may be taken care of; and that if the liquor dealer wished to pay years license for possibly a month or two months business, the State might as we'll reap the beneht for the short period.
 The greater Birmingham bill has all ready been declared unconstitutional, and 1t is known that the citizens of that city want immediate legislation on the repassage of the bill.
 There has been no intimation from the executive offices as to the date for the reassembling of the legislators, but it is confidently expected by many that the call for the special session during the latter part of April will be issued within the next two weeks.

 Indigestion the more you will suffer.

And, of course, indigestion if neg iected long enough. brings on seri- ous diseases in which Kodol cannot benefit you. Some of these there is no help for at all. There are, in fact, very few ailments which can not be traced directly to impure blood And impure blood is always due to disordered stomach. Use Kodol and prevent Nervous Dvs- pepsia. Kodol will effectually assist Nature to secure complete restor- ation of good digestion. II does this by at once digesting all food in the stomach and keening it digested, until the stomach is rested and can resume it's own work.
