EXAMINE MORALS OF
 NEGRO PREACHERS
District Has Raised S6363.12 Accord ing to Reports at ColOred Meth
 odist Conference

The moral. religious and official acts of each preacher were scrutinized by the African Methodist and the Colored Meth odist Episcopal conferences in their sep arate sessions yesterday, and when the bishops asked. Are all the preachers elameless in life and conversation?' the secretaries called the roll and the bishops would ask Have you anything against the moral. religious or official character of this brother?'' Nothing appearing his character passed. Fully 400 preach CTS passed
 A. M. E. Conference
 '-rhe negro preacher has more to do and more to contend with than the preacher of any other race or nation on the globe, ' declared Bishop H. Blanton Parks, in calling to order the third days session of the North Alabama African Metho- dist conference, flor he not only must teach his people how to get to heaven, but the work of teaching him how to live here on earth, how to make friends and how to get along also belongs to the preacher. He must at times take tte place of doctor. lawyer, judge and all most everything else"
 The report of pastors who had arrived since the opening and some who desired to suppliment their reports in dollar money was the first item to claim the attention of the conference. Bishop Parks. in calling the conference to order for business, paid his respects to the 6rones, declaring that they should be driven out. He opposed idleness. lounging around, and held up to the ministers industry, honesty and reliability.
 The report of the committee on ad- mission brought out several important things and led to the admission of J. s. Saunders. J.. A Williams, Jr., A. c. James. Henry Bright L. P. Draper, A. Tuson, N A. Howard. N. c. Coats, James Bryant and J. s. Jones' all young men who felt divineiy called to preach. and who declared that they were willing to 20 wherever sent, if to Africa or any other foreign field. They declared that they did not use tobacco. nor were they guilty of using strong drink, and had only one wife.
 The Rev. Dr. Johsua A. Jones of Will berforce, O., who was for a number of years president of Wilberforce university, and who is now on his way to the bish- opric, was introduced to the conference. and extended courtesies. He said that he was delighted to be in Birmingham and to see the wonderful work going on here among all. the people. 'I shall study your work and your condition while I an here shall be pleased to return tc your state if I am made one of the bishops in May next at Kansas City, Mo shall have more to say at another time. :

in the soil. One of the reasons for ap-
 plying ground limestone to soils which
 are deficient in lime is to furnish the
 element calcium in suitable form for
 the formation of nitrates in the pro-
 cess of nitrifcation.
 Tn the process of nitrification; that
 is, in the formation of nitrates, there
 is required. not only the presence ot
 calcium, or some other alkaline ele-
 ment, in suitable form, but also gooo
 supply of the element oxygen. The sup.
 ply of oxygen for the formation of nj
 trates in the soil comes from the air which consists of about 20 per cent oxygen, IS per cent nitrogen and pel cent of other elements and compounds One of the important effects of cultiva. ton or tillage is that it permits the ail
 more freely to enter the soil and thu. promotes nitrification.
 'The nitrogen naturally in the soil 1: contained almost entirely in the organic matter. Any process which tends to ie compose or destroy this organic matter such as nitrifcation or other forms O oxidation, will also tend to reduce ;h, total stock of nitrogen in the soil. Be cause of this fact the matter of restorin, nitrogen to the soil becomes of very greai importance. Of course. a part of the nj trogen removed in crops may be returned In the manure produced on the farm. Nitrogen is removed from the soil no only in the crops grown, but also. and ire quently in larger amounts per annum, il the drainage waters. and in some othc ways, as by the Identification. and by tn blowing and washing of the surface soil -"Considering all of these facts. and tn additional facts that there are about 70, 600 600 pounds of atmospheric nitrogen resting upon every acre of land. and tha l 1t is possible to obtain unlimited quanti | ties of nitrogen from the air for use o farm crops. and at very small cost, tn inevitable conclusion is that the inex | haustible supply of nitrogen in the al | is the store from which we must draw L maiptain q sufficient amount of this ele

Where is the man or woman whose

happy days, and sometimes we wish

they appreciate the happiness and the

It is to be hoped that the Southern
Railway will change its schedule of it's
moring train from Columbia 80 as to
connect with the branch line from
Batesburg ITO Perry. For several
months the people living along this
line have been subjected to a most
miserable mail service, being forced to
accept their mail Cay late. Besides
the rural mail carriers haye been made
to cover their routes in the heat OF the
summers day, because Of the incon-
venience-the late arrival Of the morn
ing train from Columbia. We think
it is now time these hardshlps were
being removed.

The many friends of Farley Critchfield
will be glad to learn that they are on the
improve now after being under quaran-
tine five weeks with dyphtheria and scar
let fever at the same time, all of the chill
dren having both diseases at the same
time.
Farley was the first to have diphtheria;
nobody knows how or where he got it,
After he was on the improve, their boy,
Carl, IA months old, caught it. He was
too little to battle with so much sickness
at the same time and had to go home to
his maker. Eva, age nine was next, it
was a hard struggle to save her as she
lay unconscious for seven days before
see rallied; it was feared for a while that
brights disease would set in, but under
the careful skill of DR. Oldham and the
proficient nursing of Emma Nelson she
has escaped and is doing nicely now; she
has been in bed thirty days.
Clara age five had both diseases but
did not go as hard with her She is up
and can eat some; she was in bed rs
days.
Lena, age three was sick in her turn
IS days but is up now. Merrill, age sew
an was taken TO his grandmother's to es-
cape the disease but it had its grip on
him. He was in bed IL days when he
was brongbt home. All are feeling
good now and will have their liberty
again in week or two. Jake Daylev
has been their quarantine officer and he
has neither spared time or pains in max
ing his charges as comfortable az pos
sible making two and three trips a day.
