Sunday and Monday. This is the first
long distance automobile trip between

miles and the trip wrs made in easy
stages. Mr.. Mahorner says that more
or less evidence of road improvements
was seen throughout the whole journey.
showing that the good roads idea is
having its effect practically everywhere
in the section covered. In some coun-
ties much thorough and skillful work has
been done to the tremendous improve
ment of the highways. In others little
work has been done and that little I'M
scientifically and to very little advan-
tage. Even on some of the good roads
the benefit was greatly discounted by
the condition of the bridges and ap.
proaches to them. Wherever the road
has been dragged the good effect was
marked. The roads travelled were
about half in Mississippi and half in
Alabama.

Bogardus was alleged to have re-

claimed that these alone were suf-

SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONTEST CLOSE
Baptist School Leads During the First
Day Of the contest-Much
Interest Is Shown.

Yesterday morning at the Christian
Sunday school lat were present at the
opening Of the school on the first day
of the contest. This was the largest
number present at the opening of this
school in period of over eight years
and gave the school credit of 1855
points. When the second count was
made twenty-five minutes later 227
were present which gave the school
credit for asa points. The collection
was s10.G1, and that gave credit Of
210 points; of the officers and teach
ers were tardy, and hence the school
had to be debited with 10 points, and
on yesterdays record the Christian
Sunday school came out with credit
of 1887 points.
Likewise at the Baptist church
there was the largest number at the
opening of the school present in many
Iyears-165 were counted. This gave
the school credit of S25 points. On
the second count twenty-five minutes
later 204 were present. This is the
largest attendance the school has had
in many years, and it gave the school
credit of 480 points. A collection of
SIT was announced, which added $40
points more. On account of absence
and hardness of officers and teachers
points were deducted, and the school
came out with a credit of 1857 points.
This was 25O points in excess of the
credits of the Christian Sunday school,
and hence the Baptist school leads on
the first day of the contest.
Next Sunday will increase the num-
Der of points by a credit to each
school of points for each member OF
the Sunday school attending church
services and being present next Sun
day to report their attendance. This
will probably bring the points up sew
eral hundred higher than for the
first day.

in their descriptive matter for the
summer.

Hamill announced that the fund for
the flood sufferers had reached total
of $4,000. Most Of the churches of
the city accepted offerings at the
services yesterday for the fund and
these together with the collection
from the boxes will be reported to-
morrow and all CT the money sent
Wednesday.
1t was the original desire to close
the fund on Wednesday of this week
and while contributions will be ac-
cepted and forwarded after that date
it is hoped that the entire fund may
be collected and forwarded by that
time.
A large sum is expected to be real
lied for the fund tonight by the hene-
ct moving picture shows given by G..
H. Dodge at the Grand. There will be
the usual three shows Of three reels
