TO HOUSTON TO Be
MEMORABLE EVENT
Thousands From All Over
Wiregrass Section Will
Hear Him Speak at
Dothan Today

Montgomery, November 19.-(SpeciaL)
Oscar w. Underwood's visit to south
east Alabama is likely to prove one of
the most memorable events In the history
of that section of the state. Thousands
of people from all over the wiregrass sec
ton of the state will hear him speak at
Dothan tomorrow morning. and reports
Indicate that he will be given an ova-
ton second to none which he has received
in the state.
Not only will the people of Houston
county assemble at Dothan to hear Mr..
Underwood speak. but thousands of citi-
ington counties will also go there on
the occasion of the distinguished House
leaders visit.
Every report received here from south
east Alabama indicates that Mr. Under
woods reception at Dothan will be one
of the largest he has yet received. For
many months the people of the wiregrass
section have been endeavoring to induce
Mr.. Underwood to Visit them, and his ap-
pearance bids fair to call forth a con-
tinuous ovation throughout Thursday and
Friday.
1t is announced here that every plan
has been completed for Mr.. Underwood 8
entertainment at Dothan and at other
places in the Third district Thursday is
Aviation day at Dothan, and in addition
to the attraction which Mr.. Underwood 8
visit will hold for the people of Houston
county, the large crowds assembled at
that place will be able to witness the
flights of well known aviator.
Mr.. Underwood will be met at Dothan
by a large crowd of citizens, led by a
brass band, and during his stay there he
Will be entertained with fitting honor.
Southeast Alabama is determined to
make the visit of the popular democratic
leader memorable event. and it is an
nounced here that an effort will be made
by the people of that section to surpass
other parts of the state in doing honor to
the senatorial candidate. Mr.. Underwood
is said 10 Ee as strong in the wire grass
section as in any ether part of the state
and 1T Is exrecred that he will receive
an overwhelming vote.
E. c. Page. member of the legislature
from Coneeuh county, is authority for
the statement that his county will go
for Underwood by 10 to 1. When In Mont
gomery recently Mr.. Page declared that
during session of court some weeks
ago 1t was asoertained that only one man
out of 90 present was for Captain Hob
son, the rest being for Underwood
my county will easily go for Under
wood by 10 to L. said MIR. Page. "I have
been unable to find any Hobson strength
in Concur, and ] believe that Underwood
sentiment is equally as strong in some of
the other, counties in my section
Mr.. Page Is borne out in his statement
as to Underwood strength in southeast
Alabama by a large number of other
prominent citizens from that section

Sanitarium Proposed

Inc report from the state board of mis-
slons has been referred to q special COM
mlttee, and that committee reported COM
nlending the board for securing property
In Montgomery for headquarters where
the office of the board are now located.
They recommended for the adoption of the
board that a sanatarium be established.
The board suggested that one be located
on the boards property in Montgomery,
and the committee report provides for the
appointment of commission empowered
to raise money and take necessary steps
to found one or more sanatariums. They
further recommended the establishment of
colpartage agency for the distribution
Of the Bible and good books; also that
commission consisting of w. w. Camp
bell, w. p. Wilks, McReynolds, A. j.
Herring, r. III. Jennings, j. d. Ray. w.
ID. Hubbard and ID. T.. Green be appointed
to make thorough study of plans, meth
DDS, etc, of the work of the convention
and to report next year any changes
which could be made in the interest of
greater efficiency of the work of the de-
the churches in the country, so stronger
also recommended.
In the discussion of their report, as well
as all during the convention, this seems
to be one of the great desires of the con-
vention. Everywhere it is believed that
the country churches are not doing the
work to be expected, and this seems to
be one of the main plans to remedy 1t.
The discussions on the report were so in
teresting and animated that a vote was
not reached today, as ii goes over for
vote tomorrow.

Women Allowed Equal Rights


The convention proved itself to be very
progressive in a change of the consti-
tuition which heretofore has limited its
membership to men, by removing this
limitation and allowing ladies as well to
seats in the convention. II. S. ID. Mallory
of Selma fathered this resolution by in
Producing the amendment to the consti-
tuition last year, and it regularly came up
for action today. Mr.. Mallory made
speech OH each, and it was adopted with
out a dissenting vote This is probably
the only legislative body of large powers
in the state allowing women equal rights
with men.

Christ in session at Bessemer, wired

tablished
BY e. L. CRAWFORD.

Enterprise, November 19.-(SpeciaL)
The second day of the Alabama Baptist
state convention was full of interest
and Importance to the large crowd
which was in attendance. The session
began with a prayer service which
lasted for 10 minutes and was con-
Quoted by the Rev. J. NJ. Springfield of
Geneva. This is a feature of each
session.
A matter which has been agitating
the Baptist of the state since last
April came to a head this morning.
In April DR.. W. B. Crumpton, who for
25 years has been the secretary of
missions and known as the bishop OF
the Baptist church in Alabama wrote
a note to the Alabama Baptists stating
that he would lay down the burdens of
the office with the coming convention.
DIR, Crumpton Honored
The Baptist people have been won-
dering if something could not be done
to retain DR.. Crumpton in office. This
morning a resolution was introduced
by DR.. Dickinson of Birmingham,
which in its preamble recited the
faithful service of DIR. Crumpton, and
regretting that the time should ever
come when the doctor would have to
lay down the burdens of office, but
recognizing that the time must come
some day, it recommended that the
board be empowered and used to Gre
ate the office of secretary emeritus for
him with salary sufficient to main
tain him in comfort and that he be
invited to accept the same as an ex-
preston of the love, appreciation and
gratitude of the convention. He has
served so long and so we'll
DR.. Crumpton was not present and
later when the report of the state
board of missions was up for eonsid-
Grafton, he offered to retire. so that the
brethren might speak their minds
freely, but motion was carried ask
ing him to remain before the report
was disposed of. The doctor made the
most impressive speech yet delivered
on the floor. He viewed the work Of
the board showing that the burden of
month until the final month of the
fiscal year was unbearab BILE, and that
thls year on account of the change Of
date for the convention there had been
a long fiscal year of IS months. He
showed that 25 years ago the Baptists
We're paying $500 for foreign missions
and now they were paying $4,000. He
SAID 1t was a glorious work and urged
preacher and laymen to go into It,
Dr. Crumpton was asked il he in
tended now to retire and he answered
In the negative, and those interviewed
of the convention are anxious for him
to continue.
