"SAvED OR UNSAvED."
Rev. Lewis Issues Stirring Invitation
 To Come To Church.


 Saved or Unsaved" is the heading ol an invitation to attend church which the Rev. J. b Lewis, pastor of the Cunper- land Presbyterian church, has issued. lhe invitation reads as follows;
 You will be heartily welcomed at the Birmingham seminary chapel, Firth ave nue. near Eighth street, at Il o'clock tomorrow morning to hear sermon or the subject, Am I saved or not? Am l really a Christian or simply church member in the church without any evi- dence of Gods saving grace? Am on the road to heaven or on the road to hell! Church members who haven't enough religious life to cause them to go 10 church with the same degree of punctual- ity as is manifested in their weekly lapor should at once examine their title to heavenly mansions. All who are not striv- ing and making sacrifices to get to heaven should be alarmed Preaching on this subject is badly needed while so many are in the church having name to live and are dead. Life is short, we have no time to be lazy and indifferent about things that pertain to eternity.

 St. Louis NEW JONESBORO SCHOOL Plans Have Been Drawn for $15,ooo structure-Brillant Dance Given Last Night-Personal and
 General News.

Bessemer. May -(SpeciaD-Another evidence of the prosperity in Bessemer Is shown by the booking of two good orders by Bessemer firms. the orders coming from St Louis, and the United States Cast Iron and Foundry company, and the Bessemer Foundry and Machine company being the successful bidders The order for cast iron pipe went to the first com pany, and the order for specials. con- nections, etc. to the last named com pany. The size of the pipe order with the many orders booked by the company will require considerable time for filling as it is impossible to devote the entire plant to making the St. Louis order. It will be rushed however as fast as can be under the circumstances. The making Of the specials was secured last year by the United States company but it is supposed that the Besselner Foundry company gave a better price for 1909. The price paid for the pipe and specials has not been made public, but it is known to be an average price for work of this year
 The outlook for plenty of work is es- peoially good in Bessemer at this time. business men than since the panic came eighteen months ago.

DEPUTY IS FIRED
 ON FROM AMBUSH
kennybrook Is Slightly Injured ana Negro Who Accompanied Is
 Shot in Three Places.

Deputy Sheriff Dave Kennybrook and his negro assistant stationed at Banner mines, had a close call on the railroad between Flat Top and Bessie Thursday night The deputy and the negro were fired upon from ambush by five or six negroes and Kennybrook was slightly wounded. while his negro is badly shot.
 A few weeks ago Deputies Kennybrook and Beverly Chew went to Bessie mines on general raid. They captured IA ne- groes and placed them under arrest for gaming and also arrested several others for other offenses. However, one negro whom the deputies were seeking made good his escape. Thursday night Deputy Kennybrook started back to Bessie after this negro. x
 Kennybrook and the negro were walk ing along the railroad and when they reached a cut which Is about midway be- tween Bessie and Flat Top rain of bull let's was poured upon them from the em- bankment above. It is stated that fully F shots were fired. Kennybrook suffered a flesh wound in the side, while the negro was shot in the left arm, thigh and side. His arm will have to be amputated.
 The escape of Kenny brook and the ne- gro with their lives was only a trick of fate. There was bright moonlight and that the two men were not shot to pieces seems remarkable.
 When the negroes had fired they fled and Kennybrook attempted to catch them hilt hv fha time ha reached the ion of the embankment where they had stood the negroes were gone. However, one negro was arrested at Flat Top yesterday morn.
