REV. ]. B. JORDAN IS
 HEARD IN bESSEMER
Delivers Eloquent Sermon Stressing Lesson of Gods
 Eternal Love

Bessemer, February 25.-(Specal.)-Thls morning at the First Baptist church Rev ]. B. Jordon of Starksville preached a forceful sermon. This text was taken from the third chapter of St. John, six teenth verse: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life"
 Rev Jordon went on to say that God loved because it was His nature. "Why does the sun shine? Because it is the nature of the sun. It is not partial, but sheds it's rays everywhere, so does God love everywhere. God Is love, that is why He loves. In a church in Chicago it seemed that God is love could not be preached Into the congregation, so they had gas jets to form the words placed in front of the altar, so anyone passing and looking that way could not help but see 1t, thus burning 1t into the spirit of men,
 Parents often tell children God will not love them If they are bad. This is not right because we know no partiahty IS shown by God, but that He loves us all, whether good or bad, just as the sun shines in the dark as well as bright places. E
 God gave us the greatest of all gifts, life so should we give our hearts, love and our bodies as a living sacrifice. Jesus loved so much that he gave himself and died on the cross for you and for me, for my sins and for yours. My friends, YOU have access to God. I beg you to go to Him through Jesus. There is no other way
 In closing Rev. Jordon told the story or a boy in the civil war who was court martialed to be shot, and the mother and father were broken hearted when the It. tie sister said she had read of Abrahh'n Lincoln and knew he was a good man and begged that her father go to him and see if he could not get him pardoned The father said 1t would do no good as the law was unchangeabe. She decided to go herself and on reaching the White House found 1t guarded with soldiers ana she could not enter, but after telling them her pitiful story they let her pass, ana when she told the secretary the same pitiful story he too let her pass. oh reaching the president he looked up ana asked; What do you want, my childY' She told him her story. He wrote out a pardon and sent the boy back home to his father and mother.
 My friend, if you want anything, go to God and tell Him your pitiful story and He will grant it for Jesus sake

HIS "FINNALTY

What Is the difference between pen alty" and "affinity?e There must bs some difference, because Gene John- son. Hamlte, has coined a word which fits just between the two.
 Gene had just been clasped in the loving embrace of the legal octopus by Policemen Harrison and Hawkins. the gentlemen who scout on the Southside. As if he was going straightaway to his execution, Gene had one las reques' to make"
 "Cap'n, femme ax jis' one favor fo' yo' sons me in?' pleaded Gene pitifully.
 Well, what Is it?. asked the ever kindly disposed Eagle Rock. son of Blue Steel

 "Is Liza your wife?" interposed the officer.

COLUMBUS AND BIRMINGHAM
 CLASH IN BIG GAME TONIGHT

the forwards with their hands full.
 The center-Dozier-is quite a neat performer with good goal shooting ability and an awful keen insight of what the opponents will do. He should be a hard man for the big center, Ritchie, to handle Massey and New man will play the defensive part of the game. Both are good players. The coach. Bridges, Is an old head when 1t comes to telling them what to do. although young in years. He has sue cessfully turned out a lot of fine teams over In that place and is con- sidered an authority at coaching.
 The B. A c. team Is trained right up to the dot and the boys are con- ident that they can turn the trick again. Seals arrived from New Or leans and went to training at once, and will be in good shape for the fray. McGowan, .Ritchie, Satterfeld and Wharton are in good condition also. They are expecting the hardest battle of the season, but yet believe that they will win.
 A large number of tickets have been disposed of but 1t is probable that there will be enough seats for all who are desfrous of seeing the fight, At the last game in Columbus the entire seat ing capacity was sold out by o'clock, and 1t is probable that the same will occur here tonight. The game will be- gin at S30 o'clock. while the terpsi- chorean feature will follow the game.

The hottest and most exciting basket bali game of the season is expected to be seen tonight, when the Columbus Y. M. c. A. basketball crew will stack up against the southern basketball cham pions-the Birmingham Athletic club squad. The game will mean much to both fives. especially so to Birmingham, and even more to Columbus. If Birmingham should win then they will retain the title, while the Columbus bunch must win in order to even gain series of post-season games to settle the championship. This struggle promises to surpass any similar exhibition ever staged in Birmingham.
 The Columbus squad arrived here yes- ter afternoon in the finest trim imagin- able. Every man was in superb physical condition, and were eager to get in shape for the battle. They expect to win. But so does Birmingham, and so the foes will clash. The following are with the team: Dozier, Pros, Bridges, coach; Mas sey Gordy, Newman, Captain Lewis and Teddy. Every man was in good condition, although they have been playing a game every night or so for the past two weeks. This was very unexpected, for it is sell dom that any basketball team is in good shape after such a strenuous schedule.
 Yesterday afternon the players gath cred in the gymnasium to get acquainted with local conditions, and to get into good

shape for the clash tonight. The prob able line up for the Columbus five will be: Lewis and Teddy. forwards; Dozier, center, while Massey and Newman will play guard. The B. A. c. line up will be-: Satterfeld and McGowan, forwards; Gill bert Ritche, center, while Biscoe Seals and Rabbit" Wharton will cavort at left and right guards respectively.
 The Columbus team has a wide and well established reputation as being one of the strongest teams in the United States: They have usually been able to defeat the B. A. C., but failed this year. Bir- mingham has been the only team that has been able to defeat the Columbus bunch this season. And, by the way of good -morning. they are going at a terrific pace now, and 1t is doubtful if the club will be able to trounce them tonight. The dope favors the champions to win, but the dope might be upset.
 The PeddyLewis Dozier Newman Massey combination is one of class. Lewis has played the game so long that he is a past master in that art. and has one of the keenest eyesights in the country when it comes to put ting the pellet in the basket. He has been accorded. a place on the al1-south- : ern team for a number of years, and is the best forward that Columbus has. Al Teddy, the other member on the offensive side. has acquired fine rep as an accurate, swift and scientific player He and Lewis should keep

No Third Party

Washington, February 2.-At the na- tional Roosevelt committee headquarters here of which Medill Mccormick is di- rector. the following statement was given out:
 Colonel Roosevelt has no intention whatsoever of forming a third or peoples party in the event the Chicago conven- tion fails to name him as the candidate of the republican party. Statesements re- gently made that the former President would take such action are declared to be without foundation.
 That such proposition has been made to Colonel Roosevelt is not denied. It is stated the activity of the administration nomination campaign managers in making use of the steam rollor' caused several admirers of Colonel Roosevelt to fear the Chicago convention would be packed. and that the popular will of the people would find no expression there. In this event 1t was asserted 1t would be well to give the people chance to express their sentiments at the polls. an independent party being formed to place Colonel Rocsevelt's name before them From an authoritative source 1t was learned today that Col. Roosevelt did not look upon the proposition with favor and in effect stated that such proceeding was out of the question"

ATTEMPT TOBLOW
 OPEN GROCERY SAFE

yeeemen were frustrated in their plans last night to blow the safe of J. F. Davis, q grocer. at Avenue E and Thirteenth street, when they were discovered almost in the act by watchman about the prem ises.
 The watchman, whose name was not ascertained, passed the front door Of the store and started to go in, as Is his GUS tom. He inserted the key in the lock and when he went to turn the key it would not turn. He then pushed against the door and it opened.
 The watchman then went inside and shut the door. As he pushed II 10 two mon came running up from the outside sa,,inp. .wait a minute. Let us in,'' but instead of needing their request ihs watchman slammed the door shut ana onened fire on them and they ran away.
 As he fired the watchman stated te the nolice he heard noise like three or four people leaving through the back ooor or inc store. He rushed back there and saw where they had been working at the safe. The watchman notified the police ana Policeman Brent went to the store.
 The officer states tRat hoie apout onarter of an inch deep had been bored in tbe outer door of the safe but had not been opened. The cash drawer of the store was rified 4nd s4 or B in cash se- cured. Beyond this. after hurried in- yentory, MT. Davis stated to the police ne did not miss anything.

 God touches man on his vital spots when He strikes" said Miss Booth. Men may defy God, men may deny Him and men may violate His laws, but He will cause their fall through their pet sin or favored Desetment There is one thing, however, that is an inseparable com panion of each of us, one that we can never divorce and one that cannot al ways reason why anything is right or wrong but gives us warning of certain things, places and people that we must heed. That is our conscience. quick and accurate dictator, conscience brings the handwriting on the wall for you sometimes with such force that you would give your very life blood to be rid of that memory. It may be only a word, or the name of person whom you have deceived, robbed, lied to or treated Ill in another way. God never hurries. any man to his judgment without warning and woe be unto those who do not take notice of this warning"
 With an earnest plea to those before her to listen to the voice of their con science and be swaved by the memories of childhood to remove the little sins of their life that may aggregate into de- struction, the beloved chief of the Sal vation Army closed her address by re- qcesting Mrs. Erickson to sing. This was complied with and concluding hymn fol- lowed by benediction ended Miss Booths public appearance in Birming- ham for this year.

RoOsevelt's Attitude

Boston, February 25.-.I think I have made my position clear. I have no plans beyond this night. For tomorrow and afterwards no one knows what is in store" s. This was Colonel Roosevelts response to the appeals made to him tonight for some word in regard to his statement As he spoke he smiled expansively. Then he added with chuckle: I'm having a quiet literary evening. I have not talked politics with anyone"
 Colonel Roosevelt was at the home of Judge Robert Grant. a Harvard classmate with whom he spent the night News Of his decision spread around the city Ike wildfre tonight and created great deal of excitement Judge Grants home was besieged by people anxious to see the colonel, who was quietly discussing liter ature within. When at last he appeared Ut the doorway he beamed upon his inter viewers as though something had made him more than unusually happy.
 Will Not Talk Politics
 dozen questions were fired at the colo onel as soon as he appeared. He cut them off with a laugh, saying: Quiet day-i am spending a very quiet day. In regard to politics I have seen no human oelns.
 "But. colonel" said an insistent quest toner. twill you not explain what you think should be done in regard to the di- rect primaries for the choice of presiden- tial nominees?' =
