REVIVAL'OF GRAND
 PRIX AUTO RACE
American Driver Richard Finishes Seventh in Seven Hours
 and 30 Minutes

Boulogne-Sur- Nuer, France, June 25.- There was a revival of the grand prix automobile race here today, but under new and improved conditions, and it proved a complete success. Only one ma chine was capsized but no one was in jured
 The grand prix was abandoned last year owing to a lack of entries. The condi- tions under which the previous races were run permitted the use of machines which were mere shells with enormous engines, quite unftted for ordinary use The con- ditons governing the race today provided that the machines must be of a minimum weight of 500 kilograms G76O pounds), of moderate engine power and carrying the usual equipment of a touring car
 Thirty-one cars started, the drivers rep resenting France, England, the United States, Belgium, Germany and italy. The Frenchman Bablot won the event, coyer- ing 624 liometers (3SS miles) in seven hours and two minutes. The American driver Richard, finished seventh in seven hours, thrty-nine minutes
 The record for the grand prix is AT miles in six hours, forty-six minu4 es. made by Blassario, the Italian driver, in 1907.

 Delowdus claimed 10 be able to dig more coal than Dilios. Both miners argued their prowess some time and finally came to blows. In the course of the pugilistic encounter Delowdus bit Diios. Dilios at once opened his knife and began cutting the Creek Before he could be stopped he had inflicted eight wounds Two friends, who tried to stop the carving, were cut on the wrists.
 The cutting affray occurred at 1 o'clock on the corner of Firty-seventh street and Ninth avenue The Turk tried to escape but was later arrested and released on bond. Delowdus was carried to Dr. Mcdonald, who dressed his wounds and pronounced them seri- | ous, but not necessarily fatal.

Interested in Bond Issue

The people of Ensley are evincing a great deal of interest in the coming bond issue. The majority appears to be in favor of it, though there are a few who are on the fence. Some are of the opinion that the commissioners have asked for too large sum, claim ing that the interest on the sum asked will counteract the good expected to he derived from the use of the principal Others favor the bond issue but think that the sum asked for should be cut down, while the majority express themselves as having absolute faith in the commissioners and do not think that they have asked for too much.
 Quite a large number of prominent citizens went to Birmingham Saturday to attend the Chamber of Commerce meeting and enter the discussion of the bond issue. The delegation arrived a little late, but the fact that they were interested enough to leave their busi- ness and make the trip shows that 1 they are in earnest

free from bondage. This was a severe commandment but a commandment by divine command will never fail"
 He illustrated this statement by dem- onstrating the commandments which had been given to Abraham, Moses ana several other prophets. He told or the commandment of Abraham-or when he was commanded to go 1ro" his country into the land of the Gioeohs and pointed out that he had succeeaeo. He related the mission given to Moses and demonstrated that this mission had succeeded and after other examples ne concluded the statement that tnere nus never been Divine commandment that has ever failed.
 After these words he told graphically of how Moses had beheld the burning busb and had received the command ment of God and when he. was com p,anded to go and deliver the 1sraeiites from bondage how he had plead inabili- tv hut when God commanded him to % and had said that He would be with | him. he did not hesitate but went straightway on his mission.
 Following this description he dwelt upon the type of man that God selects to accomplish his commandments. "The men who have been selected to carry | ont His divine wishes have these trafta of character" be said. diligence, valor obedience and confidence.
 Let us apply this test to Moses: He
 was a diligent man, for he was a shep'

This is brief article from the Young Mems Christian association camp at Mentone We are camping on Look out mountain near Moon lake. We have the famous De Soto falls within walking distance. Gee, but this Is a sunburned bunch and many are going around with blistered arms and shoulders, seeking comfort by drink ing milkshakes. We arrived Monday at D. m., and had a fve-mile walk over the mountains in a drenching rain. We arrived at camp and found a hot bon fire awaiting us. There was no sleep for the younger boys that night but the older boys were snor- ing in a few minutes. Next morning all were up early looking around but a bugle call brought all the boys back in a hurry. Oh such a breakfast About a dozen boxes of cereals disappeared in few minutes and there were calls for more. Then we went for a swim. We wanted to stay there all day but there was work to do and we had to hike Many parents would be sur prised to see their boys doing tent i cleaning, etc The boys are in five tents, each under a leader and each tent Is trying to keep the best tent and thus keep the banner floating over i their tent. The tents are: Cherok ees-Leader, Burr Blackburn.
 Amazons-Leader G. H. Mummert.
 Pathfnder-Leader. Dr. Bevill.

 DickersOn

Jasper. June 25.-(Special)- )-The hfth trial of Henry Walker, the negro who has been confined to the Walker county jail for eight long years, came 10 an end late yesterday afternoon when the iury rendered a verdict of guilty Of mur- der in the first degree and fixed hls pun ishment at life imprisonment The case went to the jury at about o'clock yes- terday afternoon and the verdict was an- nounced at , o'clock, three hours later.
 This has been one of the most remark able cases in the history of this county On the night of March 3, 1903, Mrs George Dickerson was murdered at her home Tn Cordova Her husband also received a blow on the head, which is supposed 10 have resulted in his death about one month ago. When Mrs. Dickerson was found the next morning she was covered with blood and blood stains hterally GOV cred the floor of her room. MT Dicker- son was found in an unconscious state in the same room.
 Henry Walker was placed under ar rest the following day and carried to Birmingham for safekeeping.

S3,O00,000 a Year

Georgia is now spending s3,0o0 900 a year in the construction of good roads, according to a statement of the prison commission in it's annual report to the legislature. That was approximately the amount expended for this purpose during the year ending May 31, last.
 In round numbers there are now 5000 convicts at work on the roads In III out of 146 counties. Half of these about, are felony andSthe other half misdemean- or convicts. There are 24 other counties which take their convicts, but furnish them to other counties, taking their pay in work on their own roads done by the counties which are using the con- victs. This leaves practically only eleven counties which are getting no use of the convicts. Several other counties, how ever, have applied for their conyicts and are eager to get them as soon as pos sible. It Is believed another year will see almost every county in the state working it's own convicts on the roads.
 Government reports shcw that Georgia is now doing more good work on her public roads than any other state In the union. Georgia is now building ap- proximatey ten miles day of good sub- stantial roadway.
 l The commissions report shows that l there are now 2662 felony and 2347 mis- | demeanor convicts in the state. In the l past ten years there haS been an ln- crease of 423 felony and only 125 mis- l demeanor convicts. There are 2312 ne. gro male felony convicts, 61 negro fe
 males and 290 white male felones. There | are 2046 negro male misdemeanors, IT i while male and 121 negro female mis
 demeanors There are five female whit,
 felony and one female white msdemean
 or convicts.
 The commission calls attention to tn
 alarming increase In convictions for mur
 der and assault with intent to murder
 each year showing a larger proportion
 of homicides or attempted homicides.

SHERMAN LAW WILL
 SOLVE TIE PROBLEM
Criminal Sections Will Set tie the Trusts, Says
 BristOw

Washington, June 25.-(Special)- "The criminal sections of the Sher- man law offer the means and competi- ton promises the solution of the trust problem" said Senator Joseph L. Bris- tow, Kansas. republican insurgent' to- day.
 Tt looks like a simple problem to the people. I know he went on, flor my constituents have written me It looks like 8 simple problem to me. think, if you study the problem, you will find that the obstacles and difficulties that block solution do not lie in the prob- lem but in the timid hesitation of those men who are high enough in authority to tackle it.
 Our highest court having bewildered and disappointed the people by decisions under the civil sections contrary to all precedent, and which Justice Harlan con demns, the people have naturally turned their attention to the criminal sections of the Sherman law for relief Now those criminal sections and their mental picture of financial nagnates being marched into a common jail, have natur- ally appealed to our people who want relief from trust exploitation. They be- lieve a few such sentences given trust magnates as an ordinary, average crlm- inal has given him for much milder infraction of the law would make the trust business unpopular and impossible
 Every judge is now bewildered in his law. If the supreme court has the right to nullify the law, as it claims to have done there is no use to try for an amendment, which the court would nullify If it condicted with the interests If the Sherman antitrust act had been properly enforced for 20 years there would be no Standard oil company to- day and no Tobacco trust. The su- preme court would not have had to re- verse itself to give them practically an immunity from the law.
 Judge Gary'a position seems to favor an approach to, socialism. but he doubt lessfhelieves the government could be Kept under the control of the great interests He thinks it would be easier to fix his prices through government agencies than in the open market

Dr. Turner took as his text that passage from Exodus where Moses, seeing the burning bush. is commanded by God to go and deliver the children of Egypt from slavery
 Dr. Turner said in Part: There comes occasionally in a mans life the oppor- tunity of doing great good for God This opportunity usually comes as the crisis of our lives approaches and Il points out a special work to accomp' fish. The commandment of MoSses wal to go into Egypt and set the 1sraelite

 but Moses at once went out upon his
 mission. Was not Moses obedient?
 When God commanded him to go, and although he plead inability, he went ,traightway on his great charge. Had. he not have been a man of confidence he would never have gone for without confluence nothing can be accomplish ed" f.
 Tn conclusion he stated that this event
 was not merely taken to show us what Moses had done but to be an example | for us. If we have these traits." he said nothing can hinder us from do- | ing great work for the greatest cause | God But of all these virtues faith is
 the greatest. A man without faith never
