Letters to the Editor
More About Cattle Ticks

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Particularly does it seem important at this time, says H. R. McElderry in 6 letter to the Advertiser of June 30, "to oppose the action of reactionaries like Senator Johnston, who are seeking 10 induce the department of agriculture to drop in Alabama the fight for cattle tick eradication" Senator Johnston is doing 10 such thing.
 The man who makes this statement is merely displaying his venom against the senator. These are the facts: Senator Johnston received petitions by letters and telegrams from more than 800 of the 110O white voters in Sumter county, asking him to have Secretary Wilson remove the federal tick inspectors from among them. These telegrams were signed by farm CTS, land owners, stock raisers, the pro- bate judge of the county. the sheriff. the tax assessor, the state senator, the only member of the legislature now resident in the county, by the mayors of several of the towns, by bankers and by one member of the commissioners court Was he to ignore these requests? Does he represent the people of Sumter county In the Senate of the United States? Or is he the senator only of the special cattle interest? Are the wishes of the vast majority of the people of Sumter county, including nine-tenths of the cat tie owners, to be put aside to aid few

BISHOP M'COY AT ENSLEY CHURCH Answers Tendency of the
 Young to Unbelief HE CITES NICODEMUS Says There Are. Things Man Does Not Know, Never Can Know and Does Not Need to
 Know
HE CITES NICODEMUS

Bishop J. H. Mccoy delivered a force fhl sermon at the First Methodist church in Ensley yesterday morning, taking as his text: "The wind bloweth where it listeth and thou nearest the sound thereof, but thou canst not tell whence it cometh and whither it goeth so is everyone that is born of the spirit"
 Bishop Mccoy said in part
 "Nicodemus went to Jesus as a pupil from the school of Unbelief. Nicodemus knew, but he did not believe. Jesus at once laid down the dogma that unless man be born again he cannot enter the kingdom of God. But Nicodemus could not accept this dogmatic declaration be- cause of his unbelief.
 The school of unbelief today is agnos- ticism. If we do not understand a ques- tion we will not accede. Nicodemus was in the shade of agnostcsm when he went to Jesus. But Jesus did not send him away because of his unbelief. He let him stay and endeavored to make the doctrine clear to him.
 Jesus laid down the startling thesis Ithat the world of nature with which we are connected by the five senses is a shadowy world. We know very little about it. The farther back we go the more we must rely on our five senses. Suppose we go to the table and pick up a piece of bread, something we have at every meal Then we ask what is bread? We find that bread comes from a grain of wheat. And by study we find that the grain of wheat represents life. But here we must stop. We can go no farther for we know nothing of life. But we would be foolish to refuse to eat the bread merely because we knew nothing about the process of life that produced the bread.
 And so 1t is with electricity. Mir. Edi- son knows more about electricity than any other man and yet he says that all he knows about it is that it is dangerous. The ordinary man who rides the cars knows practically nothing about cleo tricity. The professional man speaks of it in terms of voltage while the laborer speaks of it as juice, and neither of them after all knows anything about it. Still either would be foolish to refuse to ride on street car because he does not know the real cause of electricity.
 'The biggest fool in this world is the man who refuses to believe anything he cannot detect with the aid of the five senses. We can see seven prismatic col ors in the rainbow, but we cannot see any more because our eyes are not trained. Only one man saw more and that man was St. John.
 "No man can live to be more than 40 years old without becoming philosopher. He may not know it but he is. All men worthy of being called philosophers have reached one starting point and that point is the knowledge of existence. It may be

Burglar at Stephens Home

iThe ceol, gray dawn of this morning revealed as burglar escaping from the home of MT. and Mrs. W A. Stephens at Gordon Heights, through a window. Mrs Stephens was awakened about 3 o'clock by noise and, arousing MT. Stephens, called his attention to a negro going out the window of the room oc- cuped by them. An investigation proved that nothing was missing, as the intruder, although searching a trunk and cloth ing of Mir. Stephens, was after cash. Evidently the thief thought that Satur- day, local payday, would mean an available sum of money in the house. as Mr. Stephens conducts a store, con- nec:od by a passageway with his dwell ing Efforts were made to secure blood hounds to track the negro, who was not recognized as any of those living in that neighborhooo. but the dogs could not be obtained and no clew was left to the iden- tity of the thief.

DROUTHREL|EVED IN THE SOUTHWEST The Outlook for the Cotton Crop Is Reported
 Excellent

Memphis, July 9.-The Commercial-Ap- pears weekly cotton report tomorrow will say:
 Photographic reports up to o'clock Sun day night show that moderate showers to heavy rains fell in Central and middle western Texas counties Friday and Satur- day. In places the rainfall was heavy enough to completely relieve the drouth. In others it was light Crop accounts ale excellent in eastern and southeastern Texas, and everywhere else throughout the cotton belt save in Oklahoma, where light showers have given only partial relief Preceding the rains in Texas, fur tler deterioration in the cotton crop had taken place, but a prompt revival is now to be expected where the precipitation had been sufficient.
 In all central and eastern states the crop is growing very rapidly, having been stimulated during the week by showers and seasonable temperatures. Nowhere has the rainfall been excessive enough to give ground for serious complaint. South Carolina is deficient in rainfall, recent rains having been poorly distributed, and some of the planters are alarmed because the plant is not making the rapid growth \ usually at this season, but up to the present no harm has come from the drouth.
 The crop in southern Georgia and south ern Alabama and Louisiana is large and early and a heavy August movement is indicated.
 Cultivation continues almost perfect and although boil weevils are becoming more numerous, they have not yet be- come very destructive. Sufficient rains for all present needs has fallen in cen tral and Atlantic states save the two Carolinas.

pany were busy Saturday moving the machinery from their old gin house into the new building which has just been completed. The machinery which was used in the old building will be added to with larger and much better gin which had been brought from Pineapple, greatly increasing the capacity of the gin. The proprietors of the gin are pre- pairing for the biggest lot of cotton this year they have ever put through their gin. The new building is built after mod ern plans and will be sufficient in ca- pacity to handle the cotton of this dis trict for the next 15 years. The cane re- finery will be amply abesto handle the syrup manufactured by tho farmers here for numbers of years hence.

 ''There are lot of things" Bishop Me Coy said in conclusion, "that we do not know, that we never will know and that we do not need to know God has told us all that we need to know. The books studied some 20 years ago have grown obsolete because new truths have been learned. But Gods truths are still good and will never grow obsolete"

Singing Convention Opens

The annual Sacred Harp singing con vention, which meets on the first Satur- day and Sunday in July of each year, convened at the court house in Culman yesterday The convention this year Is more largely attended than for several years back. There are a number of very prominent singers of the old mu- sic from Tennessee, Georgia and some from Florida The convention was called to order Saturday at 10 o'clock by J. G. Land of Crane HilL this coun- ty, who is chairman of the convention, and was in session the remainder of the day Saturday and until 10 o'clock at night. when they adjourned to meet again at 9 o'clock Sunday morning.
 These "old harp" singers seem to grow in importance each year in this county, and the coming of the annual convention at Cullman is looked for ward to with no little degree of interest by the lovers of the "old book" To attend one of these conventions one is reminded very much of the old-time camp meetings. when the spirit moved nightly among the people, and the joys of the old-time religion were ex- perienced to that degree when people were made to shout the praises to their Maker as well as to sing them
