JOYS AUTOMOBILE
TOTALLY WRECKED
Plunges Over Bluff on Shades
Mountain
NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR
The Machine Backed OF While Being
Cranked and One Wheel Passed
Over Mr.. joys FOot-Tbe Car
Completely Demolished
NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR

The new automobile of s. Scott JOY
the well-known architect, was totally
wrecked on Shades Mountain yesterday
morning at about 1870 O'Clock. F'ortu-
rately no one was in the machine at the
time or the results might have been dis
astrous.
The machine got beyond control while
1t was being cranked and rushed head
long over the bluff and landed at point
nearly 800 feet from the crest Of the moun-
tain As It turned over and over, strilS-
ing projections and trees in its fall, il was
easy 10 see that there would not be much
of it left when It struck bottom.
Mr.. Joy barely had time to jump out
of the way of the machine as it started,
ard es it was, ne wheel ran ever his
foot, taking OFF some of the skin.
Mr.. Joy had gone to the mountain yes
terday morning in the vicinity of the
Blur Park hotel to look at some proper
" which he owns and had left his car
standing at the edge of the bluff. While
he was gone someone in meddling put the
car in gear. When Mr.. Joy returned he
thought the machine was as he left it and
started to crank 1t to return to the city.
When the engine started the car dashed
TO the edge of the blum before he could
stop 1t and plunged down. IT took sheer
drop of about IS feet and tumbled on
down nearly 400 feet further, and was so
badly demolished that it is believed there
will be scarcely t2c0 worth of salvage.
Escaping gasoline took FIRE and the
wreckage threatened to burn, but Mr.. Joy
got down and succeeded in cuenching the
flames. ... . ss..

There will be no run-off this year. The

possibly be the center of interest until
after April 4. State candidates fight shy
OF county which is soon to chose its
own officers, for they wish to avoid trades
and they find the politicians too busy to
show them about the county.

1t seems probable that all the candidates
who paid their entrance fees are in to
the finish. Trading and exchanges of
patronage Is all over and only the voters
stand between the candidates and the
much coveted upholstered chairs.

GENERAL RALLY IN
MISSION MOVEMENT
Laymen Want Work Put on
Business Basis
MEETINGS EVERY DAY
Invoice Will BE Taken This Week to
Find What Church Members Arc
Doing for Missions Per
Capita
MEETINGS EVERY DAY

Under the direction of nearly all the
pastors of the city and some of the lead
ing church workers and organizers in the
county, the general rally meeting of the
laynen's missionary movement yesterday
afternoon at the First Baptist church was
another big step forward in the Birming-
ham campaign for the extension of mis-
sionary work in the churches of the
world and for the evangelization of the
world in this generation" as one OF the
organizations notices reads.
There were several we'll delivered and
pointed addresses which were punctuated
by short sessions OF business in which
several committees were appointed. DR..
A. p. Montague, president of Howard
college, made short address on The
Worlds Need of Christ" in which he
said the entire world was waiting to re-
ceive Christ as its Savior. He spoke
of Africa's need of Christianity and also
of the Ottoman empire, which is now
struggling in the meshes of Mohamme-
danism.
J. w. Sibley's speech on Business
Methods for the Church" was to the
point. when we put religion In our
business, then we will have some BUSH
ness in our religion" he said. This
cause is worthy Of our effort and we will
have to go at 1t in a business way
J. w. Minor, in speaking on 1.-THE
Laymen's Part in the Evangelzation
Of the World" said: 1.-THE man who Is
not a missionary here ON earth will find
that he is missing when he comes to get
his reward in heaven
Prof. H. P. Burruss made short
address on 1.-The Every Member Canvass
which is to be one of the features Of
the close of the campaign. Speeches were
made by Secretaries r. M. Archibald and
j. M. Finch and many others.
Several committees were appointed,
among which were those on programmes
and one on publicity. The programme
committee will arrange the order of the
future meetings of the campaign and for
the programmes to be carried out. The
publicity committee will print and dis
tribute circulars and pamphlets all over
the city and will solicit the cooperation
of the press.
Secretary r. M. Archibald said last
night that every church, irrespective of
denomination or creed, is expected to be
organized and have special work to do
In the campaign by next Sunday. There
will be meetings every day this week
at the headquarters of the missionary
movement in the Hood building. This
headquarters is the dynamo to the cam
paign and it is believed many shocks will
be sent out from these offices in the way
of success bulletins before the campaign
comes to a close.
A kind of invoice of the churches of
the city will be taken this week and it will
be ascertained Just what the members of
each church are doing per capita. This
report will be published and will also be
put in circular form and distributed to
the congregations next Sunday.
