CHURCH DEDICATION
Dedicatory Services Held Last Sabbath
Under Official Supervision, Dean
Haggard of Drake University.

AaIee 6plen0lQ SERVICES opened
the new building for worship last
Sunday. A gigantic task faced the
congregation Sunday morning when
the building committees statement
allowed deficit of $1,000. to free the
building ofdebt. Dean A. NJ. Hag-
Gard meeting with the officers Sat-
urday night said it would be impos-
sible to raise the amount unless he
could etart the subscription list with
three 5000. donations aud follow
that up with goodly number of
800. and $50. but all we could look
for was several $100. subscriptions
to start with. Sunday morning as
an eye was cast out over the aud
fence the most optimistic individu-
ere the close of the service that au-
diencs would donate nearly $1,000.
but 80 magnlfcently did the con-
gregation respond 70 the efforts of
the dedicator and the workers that
@l1s5. had been wiped away. The
afternoon service was held more to
clan for the night effort but again
We were pleasantly surprised and
another 5000. of the debt faded
away. Another large congregation
gathered at night and for the COM
Z mittee to have any hope of clearing
the building of all debt, at this time
$500. to $500. was required. The $500.
came. Monday morning the busi-
ness men responded splendidly.
When the final donations are gath.
cred in the building will undoubt-
edly stand free of all debt. The re-
cult will be considered even more
significant when we remember
that all the pledges made are cash

Thorsby, April 1S.-(Speeial.-Goo barns are an indication of prosperity in any community and by this token Thorsby takes 8 front seat among Ala bama small towns that are prosper ous. The illustrations represent but one of the substantial modern struc- lures that house the fast-growing dairy herds of Thorsby, already the source of supply for nearby city markets to the extent of many thousands of dol lars annually.
 MT. Gerald's barn has a capacity to accommodate 24 cows and he is fast filling it up by purchase in addition to the young stock growing on tho farm. The structure shown at the end of the barn is not a new model of smoke house. but a silo with ca pacity of 10 tons of green fodder that is run through a feed cutter and .'canned" in this receptacle where It remains fresh and green for feeding when pas lures are dried up or other fodder is scarce

 People speak of justice as if to pardon was an act of injustice, when 1t may be the highest form of justice They say it Is the setting aside of a decision of the courts.

This case was differ ent from any other which had ever come before me I had read every line of the evidence, was just as familiar with the record as any member of the supreme court, had testified at the trial. and my mind was fully made up, not only that Colone Hooper was not guilty, but that he was in some degree the victim of his as- sociaton with me. Those who are fiercest in their denunciation are those who want ed him convicted because of our close friendship. If delayed action, waited for petitions and involved the state in fur ther uncertainty and unrest, the same men would have been the first to de nounce me for cowardice and to attribute delay to fear and weakness.
 There is not man in Tennessee that knew me but believed I would pardon Colonel Cooper if he was convicted, and knew it. Then why delay? Why act apart? Why not assume the responsibil- ity and end it?

The managers are spacious and easy of access in the feeding aisle, the entire floor is of concrete and can be flushed and scrubbed to keep it clean The offall is collected in the trenches shown at the rear of the stalls, and is promptly gathered and removed from the barn. A large loft above the stables furnishes storage room for much more fodder than the average Alabama farmer sees in year and the floor is laid double to prevent dust and dirst from rattling down.
 One need have no doubts about Thorsby dairy products. as no expense or trouble is spared te have everything first class. and it Is all under super vision of a government expert, who makes frequent visits to the farms and gives needed instruction.

REGISTRATION IS
 GUT DOWN SHARPLY Georgia Shows Heavy Loss in Voting Strength
  THE LAW IS TOO DRASTIC some Atlanta Business Men Want the Law Against Ticket Seairing Re- peaIed Unless Railroads Grant
 StopOyer Privilege
THE LAW IS TOO DRASTIC

Atlanta, April -(SpeciaL-Ine figures coming in regarding the reg istration of voters this year, which closed in so far as the state eiec- tions are concerned on April D, con- tinue to bear out the prediction made before the closing day-that the total registration would show n decrease of 15 to 20 per cent in the whites, as compared with that for 1908, the last active campaign year.
 Despite the effort to make light O. the report that there has been Q ma terial decrease in the registration as the result of the new resignation law which closed the books six months in advance of the state election, all the figures substantiate the predictions made and there is no apparent re2- son to change the assertion that the white registra ton this year will be some 5O.000 short of what it was in 1908
 Of course there is a bigger falling off in the negro registration; the dis franchisement law naturally brought 
 ment or question on that score; the negro vote doesn't figure. anywcy, since it is effectually cut out by the pri- mary. It is the reduction in the states white vote that is causing attention.
 The white registration in Irwin and Webster, two country counties, is typ teal. In Irwin it is 1077 against 1267 for 1908. a decrease of 15 per cent. In Webster the decrease is 12 per cent. And so it runs almost over the entire state.
 In Fulton county there are approx imately 5000 white. men who have paid all their taxes. vet are not registered this year, either through indifference superintended by the absence of polit- ical camINgn or because they did not have an opportunity to register. It cannot be claimed in the case of
 Fulton county that the law simply en- tirely eliminated the illicit vote, because every one of those 5000 taxpayers has q perfect right to vote, if his name were only on the registration books. The Fulton county registration, in cluullS tue 1oTeROinE dnu others, mas
 been cut down nearly 25 per cent. It is pointed out that in some coun- tise there has been an increase. In Bibb county. for instance, the increase is about 15 per cent. That is due to an exceedingly active and vigorous To- cal campaign involving, among other things. the extension of Macon's city limits. Usually wherever there has been an increase something of this kind is responsible for it. This situation is directly in line with one of the arguments that has been
 made against the law-that it removes the effect and influence of a political campaign in bringing up the regls- tration. With the registration closing some two or three months before the campaign begins. there Is removed one of the strongest incentives toward oual- flying for the privilege Of the bal. lot.
 Even some of the most ardent advo- yates of the new registration law are now quietly admitting that it is too drastic.
