SELMA TEAM WILL
PLAY IN ADMISSION

Admission, August 2S.-(Special. ALI at
tendance records in this city's baseball
history are expected to be broken this
week when the Selma baseball team
comes to Admission to play off the finals
in an intensely interesting series of games
for the state semi-professional cham
pionship, following a series of seven
games in Selma, resulting in tie four
games for Selma and two for Admission,
giving this city lead of two games won
out of Is played between the two places.
The Admission Free Lances Jared pretty
badly in the black belt city Nelson, Pratt
and others OF their men being put out
of the game on account of injuries, and
Manager Bullard having to retire after the
series there on account of business con-
f1icts. Other losses have been sustained.
but Manager McCarty has gone to the
South Atlantic and imported men to fill up
the gaps, thus insuring fast and scrappy
games here throughout the remainder of
the series.
Among the new men who have been
signed are Weems and Schultz, pitchers;
Eubanks, a catcher, all of the Macon Sally
team, and McDuff, formerly with Annis-
ton. the Columbus Sally organization and
other fast aggregations. Weems and Eu-
banks will work against Frank Allen and
Vaughn in the first af the Selma series.
Following the series of Selma 1t is very
probable that Manager Fox of the Column
bus Sally champions will come to the
city to try out against the Free Lances
This is practically certain If Admission
gets the big end of three games with
Selma in the first of the week, and IL Fox
does not end the week here he will come
for a series on Labor Day
The work of the Admission Free Lances
has attracted attention all over the south.
The Southeastern league wants exhibition
games here after their season closes and
strong efforts will be made to get this
city in the South Atlantic ,,r the South
eastern next season. Out of the 81 games
that the Free Lances have played here
and elsewhere they have won 46 and lost
but Fl, their opponents having numbered
some of the fastest teams In independent
and the Southeastern league ball.

FLANK MOVEMENT
BY REPUBLICANS
Rally at Vernon Springs Is
Merely a Ruse
SPEAKERS NOT ON HAND
Democrats Are Not Worrying Over the
Situation In Calhoun County and
the Candidates Are Active
in the Campaign

Admission, August 2S.-(SpeciaI.) --That
the rally held at Vernon Springs, in this
county, by the republicans of the Thomp-
son faction on last Friday was a mere
| flank movement, is the opinion of the
observing democrats who have been keep
ing an eye on the maneuvers of the g. o..
p. in Calhoun and the Fourth district.
The big barbecue was nominally the
launching formally of the republican cam
paign, but as a matter of fact 1t is be-
lieved to have been no more than a
clever ruse. The republicans know, 1t Is
believed, that they have no hope of
winning any office or even getting a
foothold at this time in Calhoun, and
1t is understood that their object in hold
ing this barbecue and widaly advertis-
ing 1t as they did was to attract attention
to Calhoun and this end of the district
and to detract from other sections. where
they have some chance of winning good
offices and of gaining votes, It is be-
lieved
1t was advertised that J. o. Thompson,
gubernatorial candidate. and J. o. Mid
dleton. republican candidate for Congress
to be the chief speakers. This was wide
ly heralded, and 1t was due to this TACT
that their crowd at the barbecue was
as large as 1t was; but when the time
came neither Mr.. Thompson nor Mr.. Mid
dleton was among the speakers, 1t hav-
ing been deemed advisable for them to
devote their time to a section where
their opportunities were greater, 1t is be-
lieved
The democrats, however, have under
stood the ruse of the republicans and
are being governed accordingly. The
county candidates in Calhoun are not
worrying, and Fred Blackmon is devot-
ing his attention to the sections of his
district where his opponent is the strong
est, although he has recently been kept
off of the stump on account of the de-
struction by fire of his residence, which
called him back to Admission.
The Fourth district democratic cam
paign committee, with s. P Kennedy, sec
rotary Of the Alabama railroad com
mission, as chairman, has opened head
quarters at Columbiana, in Shelby coun-
ty, and 1t is from that place that the
campaign will be waged If the repub-
leans have any chance in the Fourth at
all It is in Shelby and Chiffon, and 1t
is there that they have got to fight, STRAIT
agems like that held last Friday in CAL
houn to the contrary, Notwithstanding
The democratic campaign committee is
onto their game.

RED LETTER DAY FOR
ENSLEY METHOD|STS
Church Cornerstone Laid By
Bishop Kilgo
A $500 FUND IS RAISED
ham District Take Part in the
Interesting Exercises-Gen-
eraI News of Ensley

Yesterday was a red letter day in the
history of the Ensley Methodist church
and was marked by three most interest
ing services, each taxing the capacity of
the church. The principal feature was
the laying of the cornerstone of the new
church building by Bishop Kilgo
At the morning service the distinguished
visitor preached a powerful and instruc-
tive sermon and made an appeal for
funds to complete the building. In re-
Spouse to his earnest and eloquent ap-
peal about $500 was raised.
When 1t is remembered that the Ems
ley congregation contains no really
wealthy members, and that they had al
ready made liberal contributions, the
amount raised was considered very credit
able.
In the afternoon exercises the Rev. F.
w. Brandon was master of ceremonies.
DR.. Simpson read the scripture lesson,
which was followed by a learned adj
dress by the bishop. At the conclusion
the cornerstone was laid. The follow
ing articles were placed in the stone:
The Holy Bible, church discipline church
hymnal, copy of Alabama Christian Ad-
vocate, copy of Nashville Christian Ad-
vocate, copy of the Epworth Era, his
torical sketch of the Ensley Methodist
church by DR.. T. A. Johnson, lists of
members of the Home Mission society,
Foreign Mission society. Baraca Sunday
school Bible class, church officers and
building committee. The articles were
read out by the Rev. B. B. Glasgow, and
placed in the stone by DR.. T. A. John
son. The simple ceremonies were con-
cluded by an invocation by the bishop.
The Rev. Frank Culver preached at the
evening service, thus closing a most
eventful day. The chorus of 50 voices
under the leadership Of Choir Director
M. M. Hughes supplied the musical num-
bers. which were appropriate and exceed
ngly well rendered.
