SOCIAL TEACHINGS
 OF JESUS STUDIED
New Class for Advanced Study Is Formed at the First Baptist
 Church

The Sunday school of the First Baptist church, recently graded and reorganized according to the standards of modern Sunday school pedagogy, has added a class for advanced study in the social teachings of Jesus. Besides the text of the Sypnotic gospels, Prof. Smaller Mat thews' book on The Social Teachings of Jesus will be used, and the studies will be so arranged that they will run parallel to the regular international lessons, but viewing these portions of Scripture from the standpoint of sociology Capt Frank s. White is the president, w. T. Simmons the vice president, Eugene r. Enslen the secretary treasurer, and pr. A. J. Dick inson the teacher of the class and any others who wish to make such a study of the teachings of Jesus are invited to do so. The class meets in the main audi torium or the church at 10 a. m. every Sunday. The lessons as outlined during the next few months are as follows:
 l. The preaching of John on social sin, social repentance, social righteousness and social retribution.
 ?. The social mission of the Kingdom of God as foreshadowed by the prophets in the relief of distress
 3. Preaching and teaching as social agents for inaugurating the kingdom of God in society.
 I. Life in the kingdom of God as related to traditional social institutions and con- ventions.
 ,. Calling and educating a ministry for bringing the kingdom of God into so- ciety.
 6. The Sabbath as social institution, it's worth and conservation.
 [. The sermon on the mount as an ex- position of social ethics, .
 Other teachings will be taken up as they come in the unfolding of the teachings of Jesus during the progress of hs min istry in Gallee. The lessons will be informal lectures in which questions and suggestions are freely made. Already the first two lessons have been given and the third will be the subject for tomorrow, In view of the ferment of sentiment now going on in the public mind with regard to matters social it is thought that a close and a thorough study of the teachings of Jesus will be both wholesome and interesting to many.

ID BUILD ADDING
 MACHINE FACTORY
Edwin Williamson of Talla- dega Has Patented New
 and Simplified Devise

It is probable that a manufacturing plant to construct a newly patented add ing machine will be constructed in Bir- mingham. Edwin Williamson, agent for the Southern railway at Talladega, was here yesterday and he is the patentee of an adding machine which he says will be made in Birmingham if he can have anything to do with the proposition, and as he owns 1t the chances are that d plant will be erected here.
 The patent was issued by the federal officials after it had been minutely in- spected. It required five years for Mr. Williamson to convince the patent office officials that his machine was something new and was no infringement before he received his legal papers
 He said yesterday that the machine is very simple as compared to other ma chimes on the market and that it can be made and sold for less than 500.
 MT. Williamson, while working in the offices of the Southern at Talladcga con ceived the idea and for five years la bored with the proposition.
 The machine keyboard has but nine keys, as compared to many times that number of other machines. It is said the operation is absolutely accurate. The ma chimes add and subtract and perform all the service of any up to date adding machine without any mishap. It is stated that the machine of MT. Williamson has 400 fewer parts than machine and is to that extent a great deal more sim ,,io N J,a l.i
 "1n the present market one may buy only high priced machine said Mir. Williamson. ''The machine l have pat ented is very simple and can be made for about s25. It can be put on the mar ket with every merchant having a chance to get a machine at a low price. The fact that every business man recognizes the service of an adding machine will am sure assist in making my invention popular.
 T am now negotiating with several in terested manufacturing concerns. l am determined to put up plant in Birming- ham rather than in the east, if such a plan is possible. l am a native Alabamian and want to reflect that much credit upon my state. In making the model it re- qulred three months of actual uninter- rupted service in machine shop to get the parts together. The experts told me that the manufacturing cost of the ma chine would be small comparatively after the machine had been tried out. The construction of the machine has been thoroughly tested It differs in ap- pearance very little from other machines and will certainly revolutionize the add iV; machine situation when it is placed oh the market

MAY BE
 ON SEPARATE TICKET
Goodwin Authorizes Bell to Prepare List if Judge
 Stiles Refuses

Tyler Goodwin, chairman of the state democratic executive committee, in let ter to Robert N. Bell. chairman of the Jefferson county democratic executive committee, which was received in Br- mlngham yesterday, morning. authorized the latter to prepare ticket of candl- dates for delegates to the state conven- ton in case the probate judge of this county concludes that to do so is not in accordance with his official duty
 In course4of his letter Mir Goodwin states that while in his opinion Judge Stiles is interpreting the lawsyery literally, it is nevertheless his opinion that Judge Stiles is correct in his attitude. It is, therefore. very probable that candidates for delegates will be listed on ticket separate and distinct from that on which candidates for county and state offices will be listed.
 When asked for statement yesterday afternoon in regard to the impression under which he has left the chairman of the county committee, namely, that he would not list candidates for delegates to the convention, Judge Stiles declined to comply. He stated that he would not cross this bridge until he had arrived within it's immediate proximity.
 Chairman Bell, following the request of the state chairman, advised the latter yes terday afternoon to send notification slmi- lar to that which had been sent the Jeff ferson chairman to every other county chairman of the state. From what has oar f ic ,o1N thor delegates to the state convention in every county of the state will be considered apart from candidates for office.
