NOTABLE INTEREST
IN WORK OF CHURCH.

What most interested me today said
H. c. Russell of Ensley, was the large
congregation that attended the revival
services at the E,nsley Methodist church,
1 was much impressed by the congrega-
ton this morning; 1t was composed noe
only of the members of our church, but
of the citizenship at large. Almost every
denomination was Represented and I saw
the faces of many who do not often att
tend divine service.
II believ the world is growing better
every day, and that greater interest Is
being taken in religious affairs by the,
so-called laity than ever before.
Men are beginning to realize that the'
only true source of happiness comes
from an active interest in church work
and that more real pleasure is derived
from trying to elevate the moral stand
ard of the community than from any
other source"

THINKS THE BODY IS
YOUNG'S MURDERER
Gruesome Find Is Made in
Valley Greek
NEGRO SHOT TO PIECES
Coroner Says He Is Informed That
Two Other Negroes Were Killed BY
Mob Formed After Murder
of Captain. Young

In the discovery of an unknown negro
body in pile of drift wood In Valley
creek below Mulga ford. about IS miles
from Birmingham, Coroner Brasher be-
lives he has found the slayer of Capt.
B. H. Young of Bessemer, who was
murdered two months ago at a mining
camp west of the city. The negro had
been dead for six. or eight weeks, the
coroner said, and was badly decomposed,
satisfied that the body was the negro
Fred Spencer, who In a drunken stupor
killed Captain Young April q at Dolo-
mite mines.
The negro was found in Valley creek
at the mouth of the Water Hole branch
by an old white settler named Johni-
son Hicks. Hicks notified the coroner
and Mr. Brasher went promptly to the
scene. The place where the negro was
found is near Adamsvile. The negro ap-
peared to be between 90 and So years old,
had bad teeth and was about five feet
and four inches tall. He had on no
clothing except a piece of an old heavy
mining shirt and collar His body had
been almost shot to pieces.
It will be remembered that one dead
negro was found who had been shot to
pieces by the mob which formed to
avenge the death of Captain Young. The
negro found yesterday had been shot 100
times Coroner Brasher said last night
a person whose name he withheld had
toll hot tUn o.
groes to be found in the water as re-
suit of the murder of Captain Young and
he believes firmly that the negro found
yesterday by Mr.. Hicks is one of them.
Mr. Brasher's theory is that the ne
gro was caught by the mob and filled
with bullets and then thrown into the
creek or that the negro had made his
ly injured and being hard pressed by his
pursuers he jumped into the creek In
order to escape. Mr.. Brasher thinks the
negro was first thrown into the water
near Ensley and that the high waters
of last spring washed his body down
stream to where 1t was found yesterday
Captain Young was a deputy sheriff and
was killed at Doomite mines by Fred
Spencer after the negro had got into
an argument about pay slip. The ne
gro had presented the pay slip of his
brother-in-law and Captain Young re-
fused to give him the money unless the
slip was signed by the brother-in-law.
The negro went away mad and return
ing few minutes later he waited his
chance at the pay window and deliber-
ately drew the gun and shot Captain
Young.
The negro's name was Fred Spencer
He was chased for several days by posses
of angry citizens and by squads of deputy
sheriffs. but never caught as far as could
be learned.
The shock of her husbands death
caused Mrs. Yongs death just few days
ago. Her funeral was held Saturday and
doctors claim she died from the shock
of her husbands death.
