BREACHES SERMON
 ID YOUNG PEOPLE
The Rev. Anderson Takes Second Timothy As
 His Text

Last night at the Fifty-sixth Street Baptist church. the Rev. w. M. Ander- son delivered a most interesting and elo- quent sermon, taking as his text second Timothy. The service was in a way a special one for the young people of Wood- lawn, an dthe young men and women of both sections Of the Baptist Young Peoples union of that church was seated in body in the middle tier of seats Tho auditorium was well filled and the audi ence as whole was most appreciative one. In part, the Rev. Mir. Andersons sermon was as follows "The inwardness of the idea must not be forgotten when speaking of the kingdom of Christ. How ever, here the Lord of life has not de- parted from His usual order. The life, the reproducing power of the apple of the flower. the grain of wheat, is not in its surface, but at the center. The mighty forces of nature. which make the wheels of commerce go round are in the main at the center of the earth.
 Human gifts as well as the Divine Spirit are planted from within. The mines of life are the repositories of Gods gifts to men. Hence the command of Paul to Timothy, stir up the gift of God which Is in thee, We have gifts natural and spiritual, both are from God, and both are planted from within. hence we have the term development Hence the true religion is not catching onto some- thing which is without, but, as it Is lived daily by the Christian, 1t Is the bringing out of that which has been planted with in.
 Further, it would surprise you to know what gifts there are In us yet undiscov- cred. 1t is wonderful what some can do while yet young in years. William Pitt was prime minister of Great Britain at the age of @. Alexander was a leading statesman at 26 John Wellon wrote. Let us with a gladsome mind at the age of l2. Dr. E.. Y. Mullen president of our great seminary. was an operator in railroad office when young man, and was not aware that great powers for the uplift of humanity were sleeping. So our young people may tonight be sleeping on their possibilities.
 Now we no longer have the power within us by nature to arouse the sleep ing talents and set them in motion. No man can within himself be his best self He needs the Divine spirit planted within him. When He is come He will awake the sleeping giant
 Young people, go, bow the knee to Him who holds all power in heaven and on earth He will come into your life and i'll 1t full.
 "Then some of you will come in obed- fence to the Divine call, become faithful church workers at home, some will go to the foreign fields telling the old. old story of Jesus and His love. Some will enter the ministry in the home field. all grow ing up into the future of the statue of Christ"

BREACHES ON FLY IN THE OINTMENT"
Dr. l.. c. BranscOmb Warns Against Gossiping and
 Tardiness

'sThe Fly in the Ointment" was the subject of a practical sermon by the Rev. L. c. Branscomb at the First Methodist church last night MT. Branscomb took his text from tho tenth chapter of Ec- clesiastlcs and in discussing "the fly in the ointment" said:
 "The ancient apothecary went 10 great trouble and expense to compound the ointments. Slow moving caravans or last sailing ships brought the myrrh, the spices, all of the ingredients of the oint- ment, from far distant lands. If the oint- ment was not made with extreme care and carefully seated by the maker, 1t was very easily spoiled. Flies and insects found way to get into it. The uses of the ointment were many. It was used at the tenp pie services, in annointing the guests of the rich and prosperous people. In spite of it's great value and expensive ness 1t was easily spoiled, and if the fly once obtained admttance the ointment was useless
 Let us apply this to modern life. A useful and beautiful life may easily be nullihed and made useless by some little lOll4s l dlf ilOl Iltit AO pi cdNii OiA htAS ''H evils tonight. but on the little things. for 1t is the little things that count. Take for instance the habit of talking. Not the habit of talking falsehoods, for that is directly against the Bible. but the habit Of eternally talking. talking, talk ing.
 ''Our gosgips should be shut up in the pesthouse and kept there until they are cured of the habit. A gossip becomes public nuissnce and although man may be A good Christian man. if he is a gossip his friends will hate to meet him on the street and he will be shunned by all who know him. The little peculiarities and idiosynerasies-avod them.
 For instance, take the man who thinks more highly of himself than he ought to think. He becomes repulsive to others. for he must always be in the lead, must always have first place. Cicero was a good man, but in reading his oratlons we get the idea that Cicero thought he was the greatest> orator of his time If rather spells the better part of the man. John Quincy Adams wrote to his wife at the tifno Of his inauguration: My inaugural address was generally considered to have been the sublimest thing of tAs age, and SO on good man. but one who consid- cred himself very highly
 Take the man who Is always tardy. all ways behind time. Goes to his meals late, to bed late and gets up late Late to the office and late to church. 1t will spoil his spiritual life in the end, and more business failures have been recorded on account of a man being late than any thing else. Take the Christian who Is indifferent. It Is no sin, of course, but it is a flaw in what might otherwise be a glorious character for God. The mes sage I want to bring tonight Is cast out the flies Reach for the highest there is and give God tho very best there Is in you.''

LUST WHERE IS
 "TECK" DUNCAN? Many do Not Believe He Is
 At Wetumpka SOME SAY AT GADSDEN
  Prisoners Removal From Jail Cause of Much Comment and Many do Not Believe He Is Out
 of the County
SOME SAY AT GADSDEN
Where Is "Tecke punean2

Where is "Teck" Dunean2
 Notwithstanding the statements that he is behind the walls of the penitenti- ary at Wetumpka, there are many who do not believe it and assert he Is still in Jefferson county. while quite mum Der declare he Is in the Etowah county Jail at Gadsden.
 Then again 1t was said that he was in Montgomery and that he had been promised immunity if he would make . confession, but anyway. his where abouts seem to be mystery to many of those who are supposedly Ion the inside"
 The next feature of the case that is causing much comment is. was his re- moval from the Jefferson county jail legal, or authorized by law? There are conflicting opinions on this point, but many members of the bar, including some of the judiciary, hold that Duncan was illegally removed and that the sheriff should have held to his pris- oner,
 In this regard Sheriff McAdory acted on a written order from a superior and just such an order as all prisoners arc removed with from the county jail to the penitentiary, and he feels he was obeying the mandates of the law. He offered no objections to the removal of Duncan other than to ask time to con suit his attorneys, after which he turned over the prisoner to Transfer Agent Irwin, and received his receipt for the same,
 Just what the next step in the affair will be could not be ascertained yes terday, but in all probability Duncan s attorneys will institute habeas corpus proceedings and the legality of the re- moval will be threshed out. Duncan is one of the leading figures in the Lewisburg casea -t was undouot- edly through his testimony that the first real clew was given that brought about the unrayeling of many of the Lewis burg murder mysteries.
 He has taken his Imprisonment lightly, and showed little concern when con victed and sentenced to life Imprisonment for the murder of Felix J. Elard.
 Duncan always felt he should be re- moved from the county jail, as several weeks ago he remarked to one of the county officials: Instead of keeping me in the county jail l ought to be provided with a room at the Hillman hotel, con- sidering the services l nave rendered the state in clearing up Lewisburg"

Who Will Win, Taft Or Teddy?

The Chicago republican convention, probably the most spectacular in the history of the country. where an ex- President and a President of the nation are fighting each other with every available resource. has not failed to arouse an enormous interest in Bir- mingham. Local citizens are watching every move at Chicago with almost as much interest as they will take in the Baltimore convention when Birming ham expects to offer one of her own citizens to defeat the man the republic ans are now having the fireworks over. some expressions secured yesterday were as follows:
 ". P. G. Harding, president of the First National bank: Teddy Roosevelt will get the nomination somehow. If Taft should be nominated, it is my opin- ion that the Roosevelt delegates will bolt and choose their own nominee. and then there wil be two republicans in the race for the presidential chair. Taft may get the nomination.. but Roosevelt will get it, too. He Is a fine politician, and I believe that he will get around the Taft men somehow. He wants the nomination and that's enough said"
 NJ. IL Mcdowell said: As an im- partial observer it would seem to mo that the Taft forces arc in the ascend ency and that the convention will nom mate the President on the first ballot. However Colonel Roosevelt has always got to be reckoned with and to my opin lon will fight to the last ditch.
 As l stnted, I am on the outside looking in, but it would suit me if they both were nominated"
 John L. Parker said; T am of the opinion that the democrats will elect their President unless there is a dark horse nominated at the Chicago convention.

A negro drayman named John Scott was arranged before Judge Hugo Black of the recorders court charged with stealing halter.
 Two witnesses testified that John had purloined the horse millinery from an ad- joining stable, and that while not actual witnesses to the theft, they had seen the hatler in his possession.
 John took the stand in his own behalf and vehemently denounced the ringers who had testified against him, declaring it was a frame up on their part to put him out of business.
 Hits like dis. jedge,' said John. Dat fat nigger runs dray an wants ter git ma bus ness and as fer dat yellar nig- ger" Here Johns voice expressed the deepest scorn. He ain't nuthin' but CT ol' hoodoo doctah no4ow."
 Judge Black recalled the fat drayman and asked him about the charge John had made In his righteous indignation he swelled up like a bloated toad and denied the accusation.
 Hit air faIse,' said he grandiloquently; "ah war exceedinly sorry ter defer sich ch'ge agin Mistah Scott, but. jedge, he sho' done tux dat haltah.'
 Stand aside" said the jndge. and call ing the other witness he put him on the stand.

BE MANY WITNESSES
If Trial Should Be Postponed Today Coles Attorneys Will Then Argue Habeas Corpus Appeal Be-
 fore Supreme Court

Unless a continuance is asked the trial of Deputy Sheriff Henry Cole, charged with the murder of Felix J. Ellard, will commence this morning in the first di- vision of the criminal court before Judge Frank Cahalan.

Bowman, Howard and Weaver, the state by so- locitor II. P. Heflin and Special Counsel Capt. Frank s. White and Robert N. Bell
 large number of witnesses have been summoned and in the event the trial is reached 1t Is expected that 1t will con sume the entire week. Since being incar- cerated in the county jail habeas corpus proceedings before Judge Nesmith were instituted and the defendant admitted to bail in the sum of 5000 The state took an appeal and have recently filed their bill of exceptions. In the event the trial torneys will go before the supreme court now in session at Montgomery and argue the appeal before it.
 The killing of Ellard came as start ling climax to the many murders that had occurred in the Lewisburg district. He was shot from ambush on the public high way and instantly killed.
 The killing caused great excitement and a number of persons suspected of tho crime were placed in the county jail. A coroner's jury was impaneled to investi- gate the Elard assassination. In the findings they recommended Henry Cole and Teck Duncan be held for further in- yestigation and the grand jury then in session returned a true bill against these two men.
 MT Cole has at all times maintained his innocence and seems confident of acquittal
