Central Baptist Church of New De- catur Claims to Take the Lead In It's Baraca Class In
 the State.

Decatur, May S0.-(Special.) )-There is in ment favoring Hector D. Lane of Court land for the next commissioner of agricuI- ture of Alabama. While MT. Lane has not said whether he will be a candidate or not, it is believed that there will be such a strong pressure brought to bear on him by his numerous friends of the Tennessee valley and by the entire northern portion of the state that he will decide to make the race. He is without question one of the best qualified men in the state for the position He has not only the theory Of agriculture, but he has the practice as well. He is a young man of high educa- ton and owns and operates one of the best farms in north Alabama near Court land.

Perhaps the largest Baraca class in the state is the one of the Central Baptist church in New Decatur, with a member ship of something over 26O, and with an average attendance of about 200 every Sunday. The teacher of the class is the Rev. G. L. Yates, pastor of this church. and his lectures to the class are instruc- tive and most interesting
 This class is growing constantly. Today there was an addition of six to the class. Today H. B. Johnson was elected by the class as a delegate to the national meet ing of Baracas to be held in Asheville, N. C., the early part of ne<s- month.
 Recently large annex was added to the this section of the state a strong senti- Central Baptist church, and it Is now one of the largest churches in the Decaturs, but since the organization of the Baracas the building has again grown too small and the Baraca class now has under con- sideration the building of another an nex to the church to cost about $7000 and to be known as the Baraca annex" The class will take up this matter at the meeting next Sunday.

Decatur is experiencing at this time one of the greatest religious awakenings that has been witnessed here in a good many years. Last Sunday Evangelist F. M Ham of Bowling Green, Ky, com menced a revival meeting at the First Baptist church in this city. and since that time two services daily have been held within the church and one service a day has been held in some downtown business house. At all of these services large numbers of men and women have been in attendance and the interest that is being manifested at all of these meetings by the people in general is akin to the mar velous. At every meeting many are ask ing for prayers and others are joining some one of the various churches of the city. While 1t is a Baptist revival, MT. Ham says that he is here for the pur- pose of building up the cause of the Master, and is not here especially for the purpose of building up the Baptist church or any other particular church, but any and all of the churches he is working for and Is interested in.

the present head Of the Newell family,
went to MilledgeYille Tuesday afternoon
to take charge OF the pictures. the old
mahogany furniture. and the other valu-
ables which il is understood were saved.

state of Georgia decided to build its own
executive mansion in Milledgeville, arclIt-

from an artistic point OF view, is proba-
bly, one of the most striking buildings in
the south. these builders were engaged by
Isaac Newell to construct this home.

political headquarters of the state Mem
