LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Wanted the Ca. didates

Tc the Editor of The Age-Herald: AS you already know, the Farmers union of Jefferson county held their quar- teriy meeting at Chalkville last week, and it seems the impression got out in some way that we did not want the can cidates to attend the open meeting on the day which was intended for the pub- lie.
 On the contrary, we expected and de- sired them to come, and we made every arrangement we could to entertain them It would have made no difference to us if the woods had been full of them, as we had plenty to eat for ourselves and for them also.
 We thank you very much for publish ing some of the proceedings of our meeting, and for the interest you are taking in our cause,
 Yours very truly,
 THOMAS A. PEAKE,
 President Chalkville Local No. 62o. Birmingham, March 14 1910.

The force of the impact hurled the machine backwards again and it struck another automobile which had been standing beside 1t. The second car was knocked upon the side walk, but no one was in its way and 1t did no damage. Things settled down by this time and with the exception of the excitement and slight damage to the car which had started on the rampage there was no further trouble.

Did Not o.traci.e Preacher

Rev. J. M. Springfield, pastor of the Oxanna Methodist church, made a de- nial today of the statement made by the Rev. P. P. Starnes that he had been ostracised by his fellow members as a result of his activity against the re- cent proposed prohibition constitutional amendment in contrariety to orders of Bishop Morrison. MT. Springfield says that on the contrary he had tried to get MT. Starnes to come back into the fold. He says the only basis that he knows of upon which MT. Starnes can base his accusation is a conversation which he held with the aged gentleman in regard to alleged misconduct on the part of the latter, which he denied. He concludes his statement by saying that there is always warm place in the heart of the true Methodist for the man that needs the entreaties of the Holy Spirit and returns from his backslidings. though he may have been minister for 40 years.

She was carried to 0 neighbours house, and suffered considerably from the shock. The fire department made a quick run The flames had made too much headway, however, to save the dwelling, but the adjoining property was saved. The vol- unteer department of Palmer lent val uable assistance. The fire is said to have been started by a small boy who ignited quantity of excelsior under the house. The flames crept up between the walls and were burning fiercely before discov- cred But little of the furniture was saved. It is understood the property is insured.
