CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST TO
LECTURE ON JOURNALISM
Boston Publisher Fights Sensa-
tiOnaIiSm in Newspapers

"Clean Journalism" will be the sub
iect of an address to be delivered in
Simpson auditorium next Saturday
evening at s o'clock. This meeting is
under the auspices of the Christian
Science committee on publication for
Southern California, and the address
will be delivered by the Rev. William
p. Mckenzie, one of the trustees of the
Christian Science Publishing society in
Boston, Mass, which publishes the
new daily newspaper known as the
Christian Science Monitor. This meet
ing is for the purpose of better ac-
quainting the public with journalism
along the lines of the Monitor. No
class of workers is more desirous Of
having a clean press than the news
paper men themselves. They recognize
better, perhaps, than any one else the
need and value of giving a different
class of news to the reading public.
The Christian Science Monitor fights
the trend Of sensationalism in newspa-
pers and its very large circulation
which is the largest prepaid in the
world, is evidence that newspapers can
be made successful containing clean,
wholesome news and still be in great
demand.
Mr.. Mckenzie has been very active
along the lines of this new journalistic
enterprise, and aided in the stupend-
Gus task of organizing, housing, and
equipping this modern newspaper plant,
a feat accomplished in the space of two
months.
The lecture Saturday night is free
and the public is cordially invited to
attend,

Clanton. December 20.-(Special)- One of the most distressing accidents that has happened in Chiffon county in many days occurred today about II o'clock at small sawmill several mile northeast of Clanton, which is oper- ated by o.

The mill was running at full speed when, without warning of any kind, the shafting pull lev broke, a piece of which struck Obie Mshen just over the left ear and tore away a part of the skull, laying bare the brain.
 Medical assistance was immediately summoned from Clanton and the young man brought to this place and from here carried to Montgomery in the hope of saving his life. Physicians, who ex- amined him, entertain but little if any hone of his recovery. The gash cut was several inches deep and quantity ot bruised brain was removed before bringing him to Clanton.
