SERVICES HELD FOR
 BISHOP bECKWTH
Eulogy Delivered by Dr. C0bbs of Greensboro
ATTENDANCE LARGE
Rector Points to Faith in Bishops Leadership and Love for the Man Shared by Hundreds
 of Alabamians
nx CLYDE ". ENNIS


 The services and festival occasion last week in Montgomery in honor of the tenth anniversary of the ordination of Bishop Charles M. Beckwith created wide interest in this state. The exten- s.ve friendship possessed by the bishop as well as the interest displayed by the very large attendance caused to develop here more than passing attention to the services
 The sermon of Rev. pr. K. H. Cobbs. the greatly beloved clergyman of Greens boro was a tribute to Bishop Beckwith that was heard by an overhowing con gregation at St. Johns church in Mont eomery.
 pr. Cobbs lilSened Bishop Beckwith to old paths, and in his eulogistic utterances there is discernable faith in the bish ops leadership and love for the man that is shared by hundreds of Ala bama citizens.
 l. Cor. xxi, 2S: God hath set some in the church: First, Apostles; secondarily. prophets; thirdly, teachers"
 Not many weeks ago at the call of the President of the United States and the 6DAEiI O1 <aldDellbr3 we ocSIHplCb Ai the church of God to return thanks to our Heavenly Father for temporal bless ings With joyful hearts and words of praise we thanked Him for the peace which rested upon our land, for the bounteous ilarvests which had been gath cred in, and for the general prosperity enjoyed by our people.
 Today we have assembled in the house of God to commemorate the tenth ami yersary of the coming of our chief pas tor, and we may very properly convert this occasion into q thanksgiving to AL mighty God for the spiritual blessings enjoyed by the church in this diocese.
 There are many points of resemblance between the two occasions. As in the first instance we acknowledged the exist ence of q personal God; the great Crea- tor and Ruler one who had formed the earth, and ever continued to control it's movements, and to whose loving care these blessings were directly due. So, in the present instance, we acknowledge the existence of the Blessed Being who founded the Holy Catholic church, of which this diocese forms a part. one whose promise to be with that church to the end of the world has been most faith fully observed; one to whose special guidance and protection these spiritual blessings are directly due.
 Enumerated It's Blessings
 As in the first instance, tie thankful heart enumerated it's blessings, dwelling with grateful recollection upon each evil dence of Gods care, so in this present instance each thankful member of this diocese will not only thank God in gen eral terms for the peace and prosperity we enjoy, but will go into details and with loving interest will note the many ssparate evidences of His protecting care

CORONER'S INQUEST
 OVER DEAD NEGRO
Further Developments in Cruse Killing-Wilkin-
 son Buried

Cuba, December 21.- Special)-At the coioner's inquest held at noon today over the dead body of the negro who mur- dered Perry Wilkinson on Thursday even ing at o'clock, 1t developed that the man was named Henry Abernathy and was from Lauderdale county, Mississippi.
 After finding this to be his name and viewing the body, the jury rendered the following verdict: We the jury find the deceased to be Henry Abernathy, and find that he came to his death from gum shot wounds inflicted by persons unknown to the jury"
 The inquest was held by Ben Hill of York, Ala, who acted for A. J. MeElroy, local justice, who is critically ilL
 It appeared that the jury was satisfied that the negro met his death fleeing from the sheriffs posse, but could not, of course, determine what was the fatal shot.
 The father of the dead man came to town today and stated that the boy had proven very unruly and that he left home last Thanksgiving and that he was not surprised at his end.
 The funeral of the murdered man took place at o'clock. The town Is quiet and business is moving smoothly tonight

The present campaign for funds on
 behalf of sufferers from tuberculosis is a campaign for the public health, for
 the defense of all homes. of all citizens. of every child in Birmingham The as- sociation asks for $10,O00 to be spent upon the enlargement of its hospital service. This Is considered a very mod est sum, but 1t will not be covered by the sale of Christmas Seals, as indi- cated by the business done during the last week.
 Hence, the association has opened a donation fund, every cent of which will be used for the building of wards in the sanatorium, supplying water and sanitary equipment. and a separate group for the care of negroes. The last mentioned is the most urgent of all the needs, since there is at least six times more tuberculosis in that part of the population than among the whites Cit izens are asked to realize that nothing is being done outside the almshouse to protect the people from infection by negro tuberculosis except visitation by the district nurse Of the association.
 If Birmfn ghom absorbs 100000 seals there will still be needed $6000 in dona- tions. There are but two more days be- fore Christmas. Santa Claus therefore will record, in his climb to the top of the Brown Marx and Empire buildings, not only the seals sale but the dona- tions also.
 Prior to yesterday other gifts in ad- dition to receipts from sales have been received to be used for this purpose, in- cluding pipe from the Southern Sewer Pipe company, plans by James White of the Tennessee company and MT. Salie of the Joy Construction compa- ny, $75 by MT. Exum for the water supply, s65 by an anonymous lady for a boys ward, another $65 by James Weatherly for a ward, lumber by A. J. Krebs, and the water needed by the Birmingham Waterworks company. A solid and permanent plant is now con- templated. sufficient for immediate needs, and susceptible of additions as may be necessary. Seven applicants await removal to the sanatorium. and there is no room for them.
 Twelve negroes have been promised

FREE SCHOOL BOOK
 PROBLEM DISCUSSED
Atlanta Educational Board to Make Proposition a
 City Issue

Atlanta, December 21.--AtIanta is grap- bling with the free school book problem. Several members of the city board of ed- ucation are bent on making it an issue with the beginning of the new year, and they are going after the council hot and heavy for a sufficient appropriation at least to make beginning in this direc- ton.
 There are 22,000 children or more in the public schools of Atlanta, and 1t would cost more than s10O.O00 to supply them all with free school sbooks and other ac- cessories for school use.
 But with half that fund the board could make a splendid start and ultimately get a sufficient increase in the fund to foot the entire bill.
 And then if the state makes provision for free school books in the public schools it will help out that much. The question of furnishing school books has long been agitated in the legislature. and there came very near being an enactment on the subject last summer.
 A state enactment. however, would not result in supplying a full list of books for the Atlanta schools. Many different books are used in the Atlanta schools as compared to those provided under tie state uniformity law. A state law would provide possibly for the distribution of q fund for free books on a per capita basis, just as the school fund is now distributed. This would, of course, help out the Att lanta situation, as 1t would every other city school system in the state.
 But where the state is going to get the money right now to furnish free school books is deep problem. It would never do to cut down the appropriation made for teachers salaries which takes now nearly half the states income. To await

TEACHERS WILL GET !,
 CHRISTMAS MONEY
Thought for Short Time They Would Have to
 Wait Until January

The teachers of the state will have some money with which to enjoy the Christmas holidays.
 For a while it was thought that they would have to wait the coming of the next pay day--the first Saturday in January-but as e result of the in terest and activity of Henry J. Wil- lingham, state superintendent of edu- cation, they will have received their money by Monday night
 MT. Wllingham, who was in Bir- mingham last night, said: q have mailed to the teachers of each eouif- ty except three their cheeks for the current month, three exceptions be- ing Jefferson, Montgomery and Mobile In these counties the county treas urers took care of the teachers.
 A very pretty incident occurred in Talladega county the other day. It looked for a while as if the teachers of the state would not get their money soon enough for Christmas. Hugh L. McElderry of Talladega, when he heard of the situation. stepped in to the rescue of the teachers of that coun- ty. With his own money he advanced the teachers their salaries.
 "The situation now throughout the state is very fine and all of us will be able to enjoy the holidays with the coin jingling merrily in the pockets ' >~~.~~.~~.~~>.~s~~~~-~ the decrease In the pension rolls would prove very slow process. But therel have been many legislators who thoughV they could solve the problem, and thefe will be others in the legislature which is to meet in June.
