NEWELL BEGINS
BIBLE MEETING

At the South Highland Presbyterian
church yesterday morning at II o'clock
w. R. Newell of Chicago and Lees
burg. Fla began series of two weeks
Bible evangelistic meetings.
Mr.. Newell was associated with the
late D. l.. Moody till the latter's
death, and began his Bible teaching in
connection with the Moody institute at
Chicago.
The evangelist spoke on the first
chapter of John at the mornin ssservice
yesterday, and will continue expositions
of John at II o'clock every morning.
1.-THE book of Romans" said Mr.. New
ell, "is the great outline of the saliva
tion of God 1t Is the one book of the
Bible that gives the plan of redemption
complete. That is the special object
of Romans, and any one can under
stand it.
1.-THE Bible" he declared, was writ
ten for common people like you and
me; and If we read 1t and believe just
what it says, We will easily understand
its meaning, for the Holy Spirit will
help u.s.
The book of Romans Is to be studied
at the evening meetings this week. At
one Of Mr.. Newells classes. in Massey
hall, Toronto, Canada. over 1000 peo-
pie assembled every Tuesday night for
a year to study the Old Testament
while at Chicago members from $50
churches In Chicago and vicinity at
| tended the classes every week.

was Just What the Gospel Is The
| speaker read from Corinthians J. chap
ter Is. 3-5, 81 delivered unto you the
gospel, how that Christ died for our
sins; he was buried; he was raised the
third day; he appeared" These four
poins set forth what Paul said saved
the people" he said. He said men were
sinners. the gospel was not about them
but for them, the gospel was about
Christ, and what he did, not what man
does or is asked to do. MANY are ask
ing, like the rich ruler, What must
do to be saved? whereas Christ has
already done the work that saves peo-
ple," he said. He has already borne
mans judgment. He said on the cross
1T Is finishedv Christ died for oui
sins, and these may be said to be the
five words Paul loved to speak above al
| others. Some people, these days, are
| seeking to speak with tongues; bu
Paul would rather speak five such
words as these, Christ died for oui
sins, than 10000 words in an unknown
| tongue"
1 Mr.. Newell then showed that people
did not generally believe that Chris
died for their sins, though most OF
them claim that they do, for IL they
believe, they would be happy in the as
surance of salvation, since they would
know and believe that their sins were
put away forever at the cross wher,
Christ died"

o'clock and evening at 1880 o'clock.

OFFICERS CATCH
TIGER In TRUNK

The soft drink stand in the Birmingham
hotel building was raided by Detectives
Goldstein, Brent, Stapp, Propst, Snow and
Veitch yesterday. and while a quantity
of whisky and beer was secured, the Of
ficers had very difficult time in get-
ting 1t. tst I
The whisky and beer was in vault in
the basement of the building, and the
people refused to open the door, For a
time the men were baffled, but brilliant
idea occurred to one of them, and at his
suggestion they climbed down the ele-
yator shaft and got in the vault.
A thorough search of the place was
made, but nothing was found. Some
trunks in the room were finally searched
and found to contain the whisky and
beer. One of the trunks was fitted up
like refrigerator and 160 bottles of beer
on ice were found. Another trunk con-
tanned about $50 bottles of beer and a
third contained whisky.

NO REPORT FROM
THE MAJORS JURY

After having been out for q hours
without reaching a verdict, the jury in
the case of William Nabors' the Louis
vile and Nashville fireman, on trial
charged with murder and train wrecking,
retired last night at 10 o'clock for the
second night.
1t is not understood that the jury has
disagreed, bat that the great volume of
testimony in the case is being carefully
sifted out. The jury will doubtless be
heard from today. Friends of the ac-
cused fireman, who have watched the
trial closely, predict that Majors will be
acquitted or that mistrial will result.
1t is two weeks today since the trial
began and record has been established
for length. Local attorneys stated that

TIDE TURNS
TO RICH BALDWIN COUNTY
By WALTER HARPER.

Back in 1s4s everybody that could get

California
In this good year 1910 the tide has
turned South Alabama, with its teeming
treasures of agricultural possibilities, has
become the mecca for the home and for
tune seeker from the east, north and
west.
Baldwin county in the extreme SOUTH
ern end of the state, is the center of &C.
tivity.
Five years ago the cut-over lands OF
south Baldwin were for sale and begging
buyers at from so cents to s. per acre. To-
day they are selling at from $25 to s12d
per acre. Some of the lands that have
been taken up at these prices are not
for sale at any price.
Il spent three days in Baldwin county
and did not feel the downy touch of a
bed during the entire time with the ex-
ception of part of one night spent in q
bachelors hut on Perdido bay.
High-class immigrants and homeseekers
from New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio Indiana, Illinois, Michigan
Iowa, the Dakotas and even Californis
crowded the hotels, boarding houses anc

Baldwin county is destined to become
the Southern California of the south. 1t
will be more than that. This section
will set new record for fruit and vege-

This result will not be long in COM
ing.
Baldwin county will grow anything
that Southern California can produce,
and more. The Alabama product will be
just as fine as those of California.
In addition to fruits and vegetables.
Baldwin county grew this year 100000
pounds of fine Samatra leaf tobacco,
worth from 80 to 10 cents per pound in
the field. Next year the product will be
increased to 100000 or 100000 pounds, but

of the land on the amount of stuff he
sees it producing and the profit made on
the amount of money invested.
The average Alabama farmer bases the
value of his land on the amount he paid
for 1t. If he can sell 1t for more than
he paid for it he is doing good BUSH
ness.
The educated immigrant farmer from
the northwest figures that land that will
produce a profit of 500 per acre per year
is worth $1,000 dollars per acre. If he
can get it for 500 he takes 1t quick. Do
you blame him?
I know what you are thinking.
You say that II he considers the land
worth $1,000 he is foolish for not buying
large tracts OF It, There is where you
are wrong again.
He buys 40 acres and uses the balance
OF his money In putting the land insgood
condition. Forty acncs Is all the land
he needs and all he wants.
I have seen some of these men who
paid s25 to 500 per acre for their land
spending $25 per acre putting the land in
condition for the first crop, taking up
stumps and fencing it.
The average farm that is being taken
up in Baldwin county is 40 acres. One
successful farmer who has 100 acres tends
only 10 acres. He is making more on
this 10 acres than the average Middle and
North Alabama farmer is making on
100 and even more acres

He dwelt principally upon his pleasure
at returning to his home, and only
once did he refer TO conditions which
he had found abroad. especially in the
