BAPTIST REVIVAL
WILL START TODAY

In every section of Birmingham the
Baptists will begin today what is said to
be the greatest evangelistic effort ever
made here by any single denomination.
In the western section the Ensley Baptist
church and the Hunter Street church will
have nightly meetings; in the northern 4
parts of the city the North Birmingham
churches will hold services; on the South
side. the Southside Baptist church will
conduct services each night, and in the
east the churches of Woodlawn and the
East Lake Ruhama Baptist will have a
service each night. At $3.50 each morn
Ing the personal workers in the campaign
will meet for conference at the First
Baptist church on Sixth avenue at Tween
ty-second street and at 10 o'clock there
will be an inspiritional meeting held at
this church.
During the progress of the revival, meet
ings will be held in the several shops of
the city and on the streets. Seven ex-
perts are to conduct the services in the
10 churches represented, some of the
pastors in the churches agreeing TO preach.
to their own people, DR.. Weston Bruner
is the general evangelist and will con-
duct services at the Southside Baptist
church. The others are stationed at vari-
Gus churches in the district ranging from
North Birmingham on the north to Red
Mountain on the south and from Ensley
on the west to East Lake on the east
side.
A corps OF efficient singers will be with
the evangelistic corps and the singing Is
to be made one of the great features
of the revival. In some of the churches
the evangelists will preach today.

The Present Districts

Col. Sam VIII John, a we'll known for
mer resident of Birmingham, has, as is
konwn, plan for redistricting the state
into congressional districts.
AS 1t is considered probable that there
Will be an extra session of the legisla-
ture, and that in that session. the state
will be redistricted, the plan of Colonel
John is now of peculiar interest.
AS the two maps above will show, Col
onel John would make Jefferson county
a district of its own. There will be no
opposition to the plan In that regard, for
each county in the Ninth district would
heave sigh of relief were 1t given
chance to elect a congressman from its
own borders. A new district Is created
to be known as the Tenth district This
will embrace the counties of Bibb and
Perry of the Ninth; Autauga and Lowdes
of the Fifth; Dallas and Chiffon of the
Fourth and Wilcox of the Second. The
districts, save Jefferson, deprived of
counties, are recompensed by counties,
from other districts

PETTY LEGISLATION
is NOT THE WISH OF
ALABAMA SOLONS
Continues from Page one,


sion is called They want the legislature
assembled for business purposes and
frown upon what the Andalusia Star
terms "grog and grudge" legislation. They
think that the business of the session
could be quickly transacted and adjourn
ment taken at an expense of about $1,000
Only one man, Representative w. j.
Caps of Abbeville, mentions strictly po-
litical question in his reply. He be-
lieves there should be a special session,
but my dear sir" he continues there
Is too much rotten politics of this day
and time whereupon he proceeds to de-
clare for Hobson and Steagall.
Early Primary Desired
The replies received also Indicate that
an early primary is desired. The Admission
daily asked the representatives to COM
NIT themselves on this subject, and only
three have gone on record against this
proposition. One man opposes both spe-
cial session and an early primary; seven
are non-committal on both subjects; five
oppose an extra session but favor an
early primary, rs others being In favor OF
both the special session and the early
primary. Those who oppose an early pri-
mary state that they think it best to
leave this matter to the discretion of
the state committee.
The Star has also been conducting a
poll of the papers of the state on this
subject, and the press seems to maintain
the same attitude as the members of the
legislature-that special session is need
ed and would be favored If 1t would be
confined to strictly business measures,
craftsmanship and factionalism being elimi-
mated. There seems to be some doubt as
to whether or not the Solons would be will
ing to confine their labors to subjects to
be mentioned In the governors call, but
the replies received by the Admission Star
seem to indicate that they would.

asked all those present. including
