THINKS THE DEATH
 WAS SUSPICIOUS
Two Men Are Held Pending an In- vestigation Into the Death
 of K. A. Smith

T. Smith and L. A. Rollo, white men, are in the city jail, being held by or der of Coroner Brasher pending the investigation of the death of R. A. Smith, father of the Smith in jail. Coroner Brasher states that he was called Saturday morning about 2:3O to the Smith residence, corner of Thir- ty-eighth street and Fourth avenue, to investigate his death, but being indis- posed, sent Deputy Coroner Y. L. Bra sher.
 It is said by the men in Jail that the elder Smith came home at a late hour Saturday night In an irresponsible condition. He was admitted to the house and he went directly to the kitchen and lay down on the floor and went to sleep. The younger men also went to sleep, but were awakened about 3 o'clock yesterday morning by the old man struggling around on tho floor.
 They arose to see what was the mat ter and found that he was dying. Within A few minutes he was dead. Physicians who were called by the cor oner stated that it was their opinion that alcoholism caused his death.
 Later in the day yesterday the peo- pie in that section of the city again called the coroner and this time Cor oner Brasher himself answered the call He examined the head of the man and found that there was an ugly bruise on the side of the head. Coroner Brasher states that he will investigate this morning to ascertain if a blow causing this bruise resulted in Smiths death.
 In the meantime he has ordered the younger meE held, pending the inves- tigation, as they were in the house with him at the time of his death.

DED|CAT|ONOF HANDSOME CHURCH Dr. Truett Breaches Very
 Strong Sermon AN OVERFLOW CROWD Southside Baptist Structure Has Been Built at Cost of $152,0O0.
 The Facade Is of Solid
 Georgia Marble
AN OVERFLOW CROWD

The dedicatory services at the South Side Baptist church were held yesterday morning at 1045, with the pastor, Rev. Preston Blake, D. D., in charge. Dr. George w. Truett, pastor of the First Baptist church, Dallas. Tex, who has been in the city during the past week as- sisting in the Bible Training school, made the address, and an able and masterful one it was.
 An immense throng was present at the services, so that all of the space in the magnificent new edifice was occupied, chairs even being placed in the aisles to accommodate the congregation. Notwith- standing this, however, much larger number came than could be cared for, and it is estimated that fully 400 were turned away.
 The church itself Is splendid one. With its facade of solid Georgia marble, finished with terra cotta. and the wall of brick finished in the same way, the struo- ture presents most imposing appear ance. In all probability the new church is the most handsome in the city. It was erected at cost of s152.o0O, and 14 months were occupied In it's completion
 It was stated by the pastor of the church that yesterday was the most note- worthy day in its history, marking as it did the successful realization of the hopes of years.
 The handsome new organ for the church was presented by Mrs. T. G. Bush as memorial to her husband, Col. T. c. Bush,
 
 Dr. Truetts discourse was magnificent in it's power and touching in its appeal His theme was, the duty of giving ones self to the Lord, and of doing it willingly. The text was the 17th verse of the 2d chapter of Second Chronicles, "Amasiah willingly offered himself to the Lord"
 Before announcing his text the speak CT expressed heartiest appreciation and profound gratitude for the almost incom- parable edifice which was to be dedicated at that hour. It was an hour, he said, for joy and humility and renewed conse- cration upon the part of all of Gods peo- pie there assembled
 "In casting about for a suitable word to speak at the opening of this building |" said Dr. Truett, "I chose those of the text, 'Amasiah willingly offered himself

 "The Pocket Testament league spreads the word of God; makes the
 reading of the testament easier: 1t touches the heart of all who read and it is twice blest, it blesses the man

 The circulation among the audience
 of the small testaments was next ef-
 fected by the ushers, tenors and bassos and all those so desiring became mem-
 bers by the purchase of a copy and
 signing of the league pledge.

 Dr. Truett's Brief Address pr. Truett, owing to the limited time made a brief address upon the daily theme, "Bible Necessity" "The knowledge most to be desired is knowledge of God, the incomparable
 and the greatest knowledge" said pr. Truett.
 How are we to attain this knowl- edge? The Bible is the one revelation of God, the knowledge you and I most need is in the Bible. The seas may chant
 their dirges; the stars may shine In
 the Armament but this will not tell us the will of God. The more we spread scriptural knowledge, the sooner the gospel is put in the hands of all man. kind, we will know the truth of God and life.
 If we are to know more about God we are to be still and mediate. I have | wondered if the art of meditation has not almost been lost in these days of rush, superfluities, incomparable activi- ties and we have forgotten the divine in- junction to be still
 'aTo wait on the oLrd we must be iso- lated and quiet to mediate on His com dandments.
 "Then we must make much of secret prayer and in silence. How much Of se- cret prayer do you do that you may be rewarded openly? The greatest blessings of all come out of the quiet places. The victories most noticeable are those that
 arise in still places.
 'I plead that we shall take time for the main things, the supreme things, fel- loWship with God. We must maintain an uncomprising attitude towards sin God can't afford to answer some Chris tians' prayers because they are too care less about little sins.
 "If we are to know about God we are to make much of fellowship with the right kind of Christians conform youl life to the will of God whenever you can find out what that will is and you will know more and more about His guid- ance. As He reveals His will, yield yourself to that will"
 Praying thanks for the successful close of the busy Sabbath, the speaker dis missed the school until $50 this after noon.

 GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, October S.-(Special)-Fig- ures just issued from the census bureau of the United States government on the number and value of live stock in the statc of Alabama are most encouraging.
 There is g. very evident determination on the part of the farmers of the state to diversity their operations, improve condi- tions and increase their wealth and inde- pendence. This can be accomplished in no better way or more speedily than through the raising of more live stock.
 The figures given out by the census bu- reau are as follows;
 The aggregate value of all domestic an- finals, poultry and bees as reported in 1910, was about s6555s,0o0, as compared with s3e,1o6,0OO in 1900. the amount of increase being :29, 45S,Ooo. and the rate S16 per cent. rJsx
 The total value of the domestic animals was reported as s6s, 600 in 1910, as against s34,4o9,00o in 1900. the increase amounting to s29, ,129,O0O, or S4.7 per cent.
 The poultry was valued at s1.0S7,oOO in 1910, as compared with s1, 4O9,O00 in 1900, the gain being sSss, 900. or 2S.2 per cent.
 The bees were valued at $213,000 in 1910, and s2Ss.0oo in 1900, a decrease of s75,OOv or 26 per cent.
 Mules and mule colts had a greater value than any other class Of domestic animals both in 1910 and 1900. Their total value in 1910 was sS1. .559oOO, while in 1900 it was s13,105,00O, an increase of 140.S per cent. Horses and colts were valued in 1910 at S13,642, OoO as compared with s7, ,9O6, 600 in 1900, an increase of 72.6 per cent. Next in order in 1910 were cattle, with a total value of SIS, 462,00o. as compared with
