STUDENTS ENGAGE IN
BATTLE WITH POLICE

Atlanta, April 12.-(Special.)- Angry at
the arrest of one of their number be-
cause he failed to move along with the
speed satisfactory to the policeman In
the case, the Tech and High school boys
forming the participants and the audience
of the High school track meet at Tech
flats, turned their attention to the Of
ficers present, and soon a scene of riot
was in progress.
Over 800 boys were arrayed against the
officers at the games, and so sanguinary
became the combat, that the officers sent
in the riot call, bringing a half dozen ad-
ditional officers.
Three students were arrested and taken
to the police station. Officers and stu
dents were bloodied during the combat,
the policemen using their clubs freely
and the students other kinds of weapons.

Mrs Frederick Sehonhoft suffered with
a dreadful case of catarrh for over six
years In the morning she would spit up
chunks of offensive matter. She could
feel the mucous dropping from her head
into her throat Her ears would con-
stantly ring, roar and buzz, her eyes
would water and her sense of smell and
taste were affected. She rarely, If ever,
could eat any breakfast, and her head
aches above the eyes were at times very
severe There was no doubt but what
she was suffering from catarrh, but all
her efforts to be cured were In vain. Last
week she called on Gray at Gums Phar-
macy. She obtained treatment of Quak-
er Extract and Oil of Balm. Since she
commenced taking this treatment her i'm
provement was gradual, and continuous,
and today she admits that she feels bet
ter than at any time during the past six
years.
Another case which came TO light to-
day was of a young man who does not

south of Admission, was found guilty of
second degree murder by jury in the
city court Tuesday morning and his PEN
atty was fixed at q years at hard labor
in the penitentiary.
Heard was charged with killing another
negro by the name of Will Allen. The
fatal shot was fired while Heard was at
tempting to arrest Allen, and his plea
before the bar was self-defense, it being
alleged that Heard had attacked him in
his resistance and that he shot to save
his own life.
Public opinion was about evenly di-
vided for and against Heard. His trial
consumed most of Monday, being given
to the jury at II o'clock Tuesday morning.
The verdict was reached within about
three hours afterwards.

DR.. THACKER TELLS
OF GREAT TRAGEDY
EVANGELIST STATES THAT TRAG-
EDY OF A LOST SOUL is THE
GREATEST OF THE AGES-MRs.
FISHER LEADS MUSIC

To those who went through the rain
last night to find out what is 1.-The Su-
preme Tragedy of the Twentieth Cen
fury" DR. Thacker the Presbyterian evan
gelist, who is getting close to the heart
of Birmingham, explained: 1.-THE greatest
tragedy of this century or of any other
is the tragedy of lost soul"
Tonight his subject will be: THE Pre-
eminent Christ" and he will hold the
usual meeting this morning at 1880
o'clock.
The work of Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher, who
ara in charge of the music, is one of
the most attractive parts of the revival.
Mr. Fisher has the whole audience sing
ing, and under his direction the big chorus
is filling the big building with music.
Dr. Thacker's text last night was: He
that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name
of the only begotten Son of Cod
He spoke of the tragedy of poverty, of
ignorance, of sickness, of drunkenness,
but the tragedy of which l shall speak
to you tonight is as much greater than
these as the soul is greater than the
body.
Some might think that the first fall
OF Adam was the supreme tragedy. What
wreck and ruin is handed down by one
awful fall Some may think that Calvary
with its pain and blood and sacrifice was
the supreme tragedy of all the ages. The
great tragedy of this or any other age
is the tragedy of a lost soul.
"And what makes it worse is that it
needn't be. No man is lost simply be-
cause he is a sinner. There is none that
doeth good; no, not one. If we say we
have not sinned we deceive ourselves.
"A full and free salvation has been
opened up to everyone who is willing to
accept Him. Turn We, turn ye! for why
will We dep He quoted verse after verse
OF scripture, showing the repeated in
vitation of the Bible, IF any man thirst,
let him come"
IF you will hear the sympathizing
voice of Jesus, which stoops the droop-
ing heart to cheer you may live for time
and eternity.
God puts no hindrance in the way of
your being saved. He warns us and
saith: Choose We this day whom We
will serve If you are lost it will be
your own fault. God hates the sin that
ruins the sinner and damns his soul, but
he loves the sinner and withholds his
thunderbolts of wrath little time longer
that you may turn from it and turn to-
ward obedience.
Every providence of God is a call to
you and me. Every memory that comes
is a reckoning hand that calls you up
ward and onward to God and heaven.
What more can God do than he has zone
to impress upon you his love through
Jesus Christie
It was a touching appeal and quite a
number turned in their names on the
ce rds which are provided.
