The notable feature of yesterdays
conference was the raising of SOS, 800
toward fund of s250.O0o for the Blr-
mingham college, Methodist insti-
tuition located at Owenton.
The campaign was started when r.
M. jackson announced he would sub
scribe $4,000 as a starter to this fund.
1t is the idea of the college to secure
$4,000 for the purpose of erecting
new buildings, identifying the grounds
and use the remaining $4,000 as an
endowment fund for the college. R S.
Munger has agreed to give $4,000 if
the necessary s25oooo can be raised.
Mr.. Munger proposes to give 81 for
every $40 which is raised during the
campaign.
Much Enthusiasm
At the session of the conference yesY
terday much enthusiasm was shown
of the order OF business pertaining to
the Birmingham college, and quite a
number of addresses were made hearth
ly indorsing the work which this in
stitution of learning is doing and urg-
ing that the necessary amount be
raised in order that this school might
continue in its work of usefulness.
Those speaking on the subject were
Bishop Hendrix, DR.. J. r. Cummings.
F. NJ. Jackson. DR.. Simpson and others.
In his address DIR. Hendrix stated that
the county of Jefferson. wherein there
are loo, 900 or more Methodists, should
give at least 100000. While $4,000
was. raised in Just few minutes by
the ministers. laymen and others in
the congregation, among them several
ladies, it Is believed that at least $780,
900 will be promised before the confer
ence adjourns. which will be Monday
morning about II o'clock, il the re-
mainder Of the conference runs along
as smoothly as have these past three
days.

From J. II. Phillips
The local Associated Charities has
received from J. II. Phillips the fol-
lowing letter of Endorsement of their
work in Birmingham:
Il take pleasure In giving you a state
ment of my views regarding the work OF
the Associated Charities
Lack of Organization
The people of Birmingham are con-
tributing enough in charity each year to
provide for the necessities OF all the poor
in the county of Jefferson and leave a
handsome surplus. Our chief trouble
arises from the lack of organization for
the distribution and the economic admin
istration of the funds so literally contrib
uted by individuals and organizations. The
weak and unworthy are too often en-
couraged to make no effort to help them
selves, and the indiscriminate help given
together with the Implications OF work by
different organizations. are too often sap
ping the sources of personal strength ano
Independence.
"As clearing house for the dispensing
of charity, l feel that the Associated
Charities may become, with the aid of oul
people, an educational as well as a char
liable organization.
Wishing you success in your work,
am, yours very truly,

SIRoLlERS WERE GOOD.

Fifth Number of Lecture Course Program
Given Saturday Night Was Fine.
The Strollers Qusrtette, the fifth
number of the Hot Springs Lecture
Course Program given at the Morris
Grand opera house Saturday evening,
was, in the opinion of many, the best
one Of the course thus far. Their pro
gram was certainly fine. It was we'll
arranged, the musical part being we'll
interspersed with readings aud humor
GUS impersonations by the manager,
Mr. Palmeter. Their quartette work
was simply great. the four voices blend
ing in perfect harmony. Each member
in solo work was roundly applauded
and the encores brought forth even
better efforts than their Arst numbers.
To give any particular one special men
ton would be doing an injustice to the
others, as all are vocalists whom it
would be hard to beat. Their work on
the musical bells was very much ap-
prso;ated. We can truthfully state
that this number alone was worth the
price Of the entire course ticket.

ARE VICTORIOUS OVER HOT
SPRINGS GIRLS SATURDAY.
SCORE WAS p TO 10
GAME WAS one OF THE BEST SEEN
HERE THIS SEAS0N..W WELL
ATTENDED.

The 6rst game OF the season for the
local high school girls basket ball team
was taken by the Lead City girls at the
New Opera House here Saturday even
ing before a large crowd Of enthusiastic
followers of this interesting game. 1t
was good game Notwithstanding the
final score of % to 10 and the girls on
both teams are to be congratulated on
the many, fine plays
During the first period, the Hot
Springs girls surprised everyone by
their fast offensive as we'll as defensive
work and many times by brilliant team
work prevented baskets by the oppos-
ing players. Their one weakness, which
was apparent early in the game, was
their failure to successfully throw field
baskets. This was due to lack of prac.
tioe but will be easily overcome before
another game Both sides frequently
fouled in the first period and in throw
ing baskets. Miss Kathryn Juckett
for the locals failed once in six times
while her opponent in the same number
of trials made but one basket.
Each of the local girls played fine
game but honors for her work as star
must 60 to little Miss Treweek of the
visiting team. It seemed as though all
the plays of the visitors hinged around
this fast little player and she was gener
ally equal to the occasion.
The lineup Of the two teams is as
follows:
Hot Springs:-Ruth Phillips, center;
Marie Ferguson, right forward; Kathryn
Jucket., left forward; Marie Mcgowan,
right guard; Ruth Eastman, left guard (;
Mary Cleaver, substitute.
Lead:-Bertha Henderson, center;
Florence Collins, right forward; Eliza
beth O'Brein, left forward; Violet Lind
quist, right guard; Mildred Treweek'
left forward; Helen Jenkins, substitute.
The Lead team was acc )mpanied by
Miss Kate Bell, one of the teache rs, and
her friend, Miss johnson, and NJ. E.
Newcomb, manual training teacher in
the Lead schools. After the game the
party were entertained by the team
here at the Commercial Club program
given by the Strollers Qnartette at the
Morris Grand and later at the G. A.
Turner home on College Hill.

SOME TRUTHS ABOUT THE COUNTY.
Ardmore Man Has the Proper View on the
Future of the County.

Ardmore Man Has the Proper View on the
Future of the County.
Below we give the views of Bro.
Cole, of the Ardmore American, in q
recent issue of his paper on the future
of Fall River county and we are of the
opinion that besides being enthusiastic
in the matter that he has hit the nail
directly on the head:
ut is an assured certainty that Fall
River county will be one of the richest
counties in the state in the near future
You will ask why. There are many
reasons why and we will mention some
of them. In the first place, we have an
agricultural and dairying country that
can not be surpassed by any, once we
get the right class Of farmers and dairy
men here to develop those Industries.
We already have few of them and will
get many more in the next few years.
We have United States Government
Experiment Farm that will materially
assist along those lines, that will be in
full operation in the spring. This farm
will prove to the world what can be
done with Fall River soil, will attract
people, who want to know, from every.
where, and show them so positively that
they Will be only too glad to invest in
farms and help develop the country
Then there is the state farm near Del
richs which will materially assist along
these lines.
Then comes Mark Rich with the large
company he has formed at the county
seat to manufacture alfalfa products
the sugar beet industry at Ardmore
with its million dollar factory within q
couple of years, the foothills with their
orchards of all kinds of fruit, oil pros
poets and brick plant at Ardmore
health resort and valuable minerals al
Hot Springs, big irrigation possibilities
in the Hat Greek Valley. etc.
Most of the above are in their infancy
now but will develop rapidly from nov
on. Mark our word"

DR.. Hargens has written friend in

we are sure his many friends here will
be pleased to hear from him. He does
not say much about his health, but he
has been improving right along since

The doctors comparisons and COM

Miami, Florida, January %, 1912
Dear friend:
I'VE are having great time here, its
just like summer and of course the
tropical climatic conditions and vege-
tatjon are charming. 1t is delightful
change to one from our vigorous north.
Everybody here is slow, indolent, we
would say "lazy" in our region. You
begin to notice the lack of hustle as
soon as the mistletoe begins to show on
the trees, and particularly where the
gray moss droops from the limbs.
There are many interesting facts
brought to my attention, one of the
first is that there is more good virgin
productive soil on one acre of land in
the Cheyenne Valley than a square
mile of this section of Florida. You
dig down here twelve inches through q
soil almost entirely sand and you come
to the coral rock that makes Florida in
this section at least. To plant fruit
trees you have to dig or blast hole in
this rock, rake in the soil? and set your
tree. Then you must fertilize, buy fer
tilizer at $40 ton to make things
grow. In spite of the everglades, ocean
and gulf, they have to irrigate their
trees and crops here to make success
Of the undertaking.
You see land and orchards here held
at twelve to fifteen hundred dollars pei
acre. If as much work, time, attention
fertilizer and water was put on an acre
of Fall River ground, it would be
worth much more. Five and ten acre
tracts are the go here. That idea would
be great in our district. intensive is the
word.
No one in Fall River county should
think of putting money into farm land
down here. 1t is better investment
at home with the same work put into
the land. Close examination of these
conditions here only go to demonstrate
how we'll off we really are at home.
OF course when il comes to tropical
conditions in winter time we, at home
