HUDSON PRESIDENT SUCCEEDS REV. COX Dr. R. G. Patrick Treasurer Alabama Baptist Educa-
 tiOnal Commission

Marion, October 14--(Special)-Dr R. G. Patrick, president of Judson college,
 has accepted the position as secretary Of
 the Alabama Baptist educational commis-
 sion from which the Rev. w. J. F. Cox of Birmingham recently resigned. pr. Patrick will remain as president of Jud- son college and look after its financial affairs, but will receive no salary from the college while under the commission s contract.
 Dr. Paul V. Bomar. the vice president and pastor of Siloam Baptist church, has assumed the duties of the president of Judson and will be the executive of fcial of the institution until the next
 meeting of the Baptist state conven- l ton. He has been pastor of Siloam church for 15 years, during which time
 he was made vice president of Judson and held the thairs of philosophy in the institution. Next to Dr. Patrick he | is the best posted man in Alabama in affairs of the college.
 Sunday morning, Siloam church, through its board of deacons, recommend ed that the church release pr. Bomar for one-half of his time as pastor, ir
  fered by the board of trustees of Judson college. This recommendation was unani- mously granted; this church having fol- lowed the example set numerous times in the past. in giving not only of its money, but the service of it's pastor to the pro- motion of the interest of this school. Judson has lost nothing by this change; in fact. has gained the active leadership of a man who. by his executive ability has brought the local Baptist church uI 10 it's highest efficiency as we'll as hay. ing a strong leadership among the pupils of the institution.
 pr. Patrick gained a deserved rep utation while onl va youth by his
 methods of securing benevolent and
 mission funds in the mountains of
 Ketnucky, and is regarded as the most
 able man in Alabama for the position
 to which he has been selected. He will
 continue to reside in Marion and the
 secretary's office will be transferred
 from Birmingham to this place.

Florence, October 14.-tSpecial)- Sunday night, in the most populous ne- gro district in Lauderdale county. about five miles west of Florence, two negro men were killed in fight over a game of craps.
 The men who were killed were John Lawrence and Morgan Mcdonald. It is believed that Alex Moody, brother-in- law of John Lawrence, did the killing.

 of everything grown, and the revealed sunshine in the heart of men was 96
 per cent of the joy and happtRess of mankind. He left this morning for Leighton, where fox hunt was given
 in his honor as a diversion from the arduous duties to which he has been
 subjected during the past two weeks. Sheriff Dowdy has been on an unsuc- cessful hunt for Virgil Prentice, who shot the negro, presumably without Uprovocation. at Killen a few days since,

Home Coming at Saltwater

Residents of Saltwater are
arranging for Home Coming to be
held in that City during the
Minnesota State Fair week,
September S, 6, and 7. While the
affair is not in commemoration of
any particular event it is gotten up
solely with the idea of bringing
together former residents of Still
water and vicinity, who will be
pleased and delighted to come and
meet the boys and girls of long ago.
The Committees who have the
Home Coming in charge have been
busy for nearly year, and it is
expected that Saltwater will be
crowded with former residents DUR
ing the celebration. A program
has been arranged, and the City
will be handsomely illuminated
with electric lights. There will
also be band concerts, and others
modes of entertainment. The
Committee welcomes not only
former residents, but everybody in
in ST. Croix Valley.

The Real Point

Do you know that the largest
part of the opposition to equal
suffrage comes, not from the Anti
Suffragists, as an organization,
(they are SO small they hardly
count but from the special
privileged classes and the profess
ional politicians who are
constitutionally opposed to more
voters and to the extension of more
power to those who vote"
This opposition has, for half a
century, kept the suffragisits busy
giving promises and proof that
women will use the vote to good
advantage when they get it, and
they will keep on asking for more
promises and more proof as long as
women will consent to spend their
time to furnish it.
1t is time to stop and concentrate
on the real point, namely, that the
qualifications for voting shall be
be made without regard to sex.
Women now vote in six states,
Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Idaho,
Washington and California. Why
not add Wisconsin to the list?
Wisconsin is noted far and near as
progressive in education and
political reform. Let her not fall
behind it this movement of
national Importance.
You believe that the women of
Wisconsin are as trustworthy as
the women of these other states,
therefore vote for Woman Suffrage
in November, 1912. xxx

Sow Clover With the Rye

1t is now getting close to the
time when the famer will get
ready to sow the fall rye. And the
suggestion is offered that he seed
some clover with the crop-if not
for a meadow. then for the purpose
of blowing under the clover as
manure. This is good practice
with all crops and especially for
the land that is usually seeded to
rye. The small cost of the clover
seed will be then returned many
times over in the added yields that
the lead will return.
