 Church

The Rev. IT. P. Atkins of Richmond. Va. who was recently called to tho pas- torate of the First Christian church, has wired the committee his acceptance to the call. Dr. Atkins does not state just when he will arrive to begin his work but the church committee expects to bc advised that he will be here at an early date.
 pr. Atkins recently visited Birmingham and expressed himself as pleased with the prospects of the pastorate of which he was called upon to take charge. It Is un- derstood that he has received several other calls from other churches but that he chose tho First Christian church of Birmingham, because of his great faith Tn the future of this city and the possi- bilities for results,
 Dr. Atkins very favorably impressed his hearers and those who had the pleasure of meeting him on the occasion of his visit to Birmingham some weeks ago. He is a pleasing speaker and a deep thinker, and his work at Richmond. Va, justifies the expectation that he will do great work in Birmingham.

Cast Iron Pipe company, did not confirm the rumor.
 If the Alabama Interstate Power com- pany is planning to buy the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, he said, T know nothing of the plans.
 It is the general presumption that the rumors out of New Orleans to the effect that the Interstate Power company would acquire the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, were based on the fact that MT. Ford will be president of the National Cast Iron Pipe company, and the additional fact that the Inter state Power company has already ac- quired the electric lighting companies of Huntsville and Anniston
 While the reports were discredited yes- terday in official circles the rumor still exists that in the future interesting an- nouncements concerning the several power companies of this district will be made.

 PULLMAN COUNTY
St. Bernard College Loses S1OO When Checks Are
 Taken From Office

Cullman, October 26.-(SpeciaL)-on of the cleverest pieces of forgery that has occurred in Cullman in several years was perpetrated on the officials of St. Ber- nar6 college yesterday.
 It is said that yesterday morning mar. apparently about 30 years of age and hav- ing good appearance went to the college upon the pretense of being a plumber and secured a position. While engaged in conversation with some of the officials of the college in the office of the secretary he secured two of the college checks on the Parker Bank and Trust company, and, it is alleged, filled them out for $50 each and signed the name of Rev. Charles Fries as treasurer of the institution.
 The man had no trouble in getting the checks cashed at two of the local mercan- tile establishments in Cullman. At the J. H. Karter company he bought $s worth of plumbing material, but did not take 1t away, and at the Wilbourne Mercantile company he bought a pair of shoes and secured the difference in cash.
 The man gave his name as Barnes, and immediately after securing the cash on the two $50 checks left for parts unknown and has not been heard from since. An effort will be made to locate the swim dler

 The commissioners held meeting yes- terday with representatives of the Kelly company, at which the franchise matter was taken up again. After a conference lasting some time 1t was announced that no agreement had been reached, but that final action will be taken Tuesday, In the meantime the commissioners wish the residents of the territory affected to come up and tell their officials what they wish.
 The Kelly interests asked for a fran chise along that avenue several weeks ago, but last week the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company interests, through friends, asked for a franchise also for the purpose or immediately be- ginning car line That unexpected re- quest is what has delayed the matter.

 Local Option POLITICS SOMEWHAT QUIET DURING WEEK Poole Out for Commissioner of Agri- culture and Greer for Secretary
 of State-Seed Issues
 Statement

Sydney J. Bowie may be candidate for governor in 1914.
 T haven't given the matter much con- sideration." said he yesterday, but I do not state that I will not be a candidate. We can't tell what will happen. you know, and the time for the campaign Is several years in the future.
 '"The decision of the supreme court in the Minnesota cases will probably deter mine whether railroads or whisky regu- lation will be the paramount issue. Should I make the campaign, I would announce in favor of local option in pref erence to the whisky question. I believe in the system of dispensares, but am thoroughly imbued with the idea that the people of each county have an inalien- able right to express themselves on this and all other important questions"
 MT. Bowie's position Is not disslmilar to that of ex-Governor William D. Jelks. That gentleman has expressed himself as being unwilling to state that he would not be candidate. Both have been urged to make the race on "busi- ness" issue.

 There has been no special develop ment in state politics during the week just closed. Ex-Governor B. B. Conner made a speech in the southern portion of the state. Lieutenant-G Governor Wal ter D.

The trial Of the injunction case OF
Albert Horner versus his brother Rob
ert, and Davies & Company on it's
merits, began in Judge Robinson s
court this morning and speedily de-
veloped into vigorous and vocifer-
Gus battle of vocabulary. Frank
Thompson and Arthur Wilder APP
peared for Albert Horner, while D. L.
wilmington and Judge Stanley rep.
resented Robert.
Many sharp clashes between the op-
posed attorneys took place and the
exchange of brotherly amenities was
frequent.
A sharp skirmish occurred over a
motion by the plaintiff for the issu-
ance of a subpoena duces tecum, COM
handing the defense to produce in
court the contract entered into be-
tween Robert Horner and the firm of
Davies & Company for the sale of
Robert Horner's shares of stock in
Kukaiau plantation to the concern
mentioned. The defense claims that
according to the agreement among
the Horners, Robert offered to sell his
stock to Albert but that Albert re
fused to pay more than 100000 for
it, whereas Davies e Company offered
$25O,0OO or more.

A GOOD WITNESS

THE Queen has a wonderful mem
ory," was the exclamation made by
Circuit Judge Whitney this morning
after the adjournment of his court ut
which the principal witness of the
morning had been the former ruler of
Hawaii Her testimony was clear
and her memory sharp as to details
dating back as far as 1862"
The case on trial is the ancient
one of Mary Atcherley versus the
Kapiolani Estate. This case has been
to the supreme court of the United
/ States, where it was supposed to have
been settled definitely in favor of
Mrs. Atcherley. But new points have
been raised by the defense and a new
trial has begun in the circuit court,
which will probably be followed by
still another one. The case has been
in the courts for about eleven years
and the end is not yet in sight.
Ex-Queen Liliuokalani was called as
witness for the defense as to Ger
tain transactions that took place hal
century ago, and, rs stated above
she made an excellent witness.
The Queen was not called upon tt
come into court, her age and physlca
condition as we'll as considerations o
dignity sparing her this Instea,

journed to Washington place, wher
the former ruler of the islands wa
questioned.

FREE SUGAR BILL
Why the Senate Voted Free Sugar in
1890.

Why the Senate Voted Free Sugar in
1890.
After my interview with Mckinley
about his free sugar bill in July, 1890,
and before the Senate had taken it
up, l obtained an interview at his
home with Senator Aldrich. After
telling him why l was in Washington,
watching the course of the Mckinley
bill, the Senator said he hoped l was
not much involved in sugar, for the
Senate would surely pass the bill if
Cannon, then chairman of the House
committee on appropriations, reported
that the revenues Of the country
could stand the loss of the sugar
duties.
Cannon's report soon went in, and
the bill passed the Senate, with an
appropriation for bounty on beet
sugar. For once Uncle Joe was not a
true prophet, for the revenues with
out sugar duties did not suffice, as
his party discovered when it was too
late.

MUCH SUGAR INDUSTRY DATA
IN HORNER FAMILY HISTORY

upon between them. wilmington Wig
orously characterized this motion as
a fishing excursion.
Fishing excursion!" exclaimed
Frank Thompson. "Why, Your Hon
or, our learned brother wilmington is
recognized as the Isaac Walton of the
bar
The argument that ensued was
lengthy and vigorous. 1t ended in
Judge Robinsons sustaining the OBJ
lection of the defendapts to the mo-
ton for the subpoena duces tecum, but
the matter will probably come up in
another form before the trial of the
case is ended.
At 1880 Albert Horner was put
upon the witness stand and his exam
nation at the hands of his counsel
began. He started by telling the his
tory of the Horner family since the
early sixties, the names and relative
ages of the members of the family and
how they all came from the farm in
Alameda county, California, to Spreck-
elsville on Maui, under contract with
old Claus Spreckels to cultivate $50
acres of cane.
The trial will probably bring, out
some interesting history of the
growth of the sugar industry in Ha-
wall, as the Horners have been con.
nected with it for many years and
have watched it's development from
small beginnings to its present i'm
portant position.
