PRIZES AWARDED AT
BAY MINETTE FAIR

Bay Minette, November Especial
Because of the promptness exercised by
the contestants at the local fair in en-
tering their exhibits the judges secured
to make the decisions have been able
to complete their work and have handed
down their decisions The swine depart
ment was the most important of all and
in this Oak Hill farm, with Fred C.
Hail. proprietor won the sweepstakes
with duroc Jersey. and L. T. Rhodes took
second with Berkshire.
The attendance at the fair the second
day was almost as large as it was last
year on the largest day, and it is ex-
pected that today, which is generally
conceded as being the largest day of the
fair, the attendance will be much larger
than any previous record. The school
children from all the schools over the
county gathered at the courthouse this
morning at 10 o'clock and were marched
to the grounds, headed by the Bay Mi
nette band. A basketball game between
the local high school and the Stockton
school was one of the features of the
afternoon, in which some excellent play
ing on both sides was shown.
The officers of the fair association re-
port that they expect the fair to be on a
much more solid basis from this on than
it has ever been before.

MINOR INDIANS
FUNDS BADLY KEPT
Secretary Lane Finds Gross
MisapprOpriations of the
Children's Money

Washington, November 7.--Gross misap-
preparation of funds, belonging to minor
children of the five civilized tribes in
Oklahoma, has been disclosed by investi-
cations conducted by Secretary Lane.
The secretary announced today he
would call the cases to the attention OF
a federal grand jury and begin criminal
prosecutions.
Secretary Lane found that the Indian
minors of Oklahoma who, on the average
are the richest children in the country
have less protection of their property
rights than the children of any other
state. He discovered that while the cost
of settling a white minors estate is
approximately per cent. that of ad-
ministering the estate of an Indian minor
is about 20 per cent. 1t was disclosed
by the inquiry that frequently when a
minor Indian child came into his property
large part of 1t had been dssipated
Secretary Lane today issued, through
Indian Commissioner Sells. orders insti-
tuting radical reforms in the administra-
tion of estates of Indian children These
reforms will be in full cooperation with
the state authorities, particularly the
probate judges Through modern busi-
ness proceedings it is expected that hun
dreds of thousands of dollars will be saved
to the Indian children.

VESTRYMEN EXTEND
JOHNSTON TRIBUTE
Resolutions by Board of st. Mary's
Church Record His Devotion to
Work of His Church

Resolutions have been adopted upon the
death of the late Senator Joseph II. John
ston by the vestry of the Church of St.
Mary s-on-the- Highlands, of which body
Senator Johnston was for many years a
member. The resolutions were adopted at
the first full meeting of the vestry held
since Senator Johnston's death, and read
as follows:
Whereas, it hath pleased Almighty God
In His wise providence to take out of this
world the soul of our beloved brother,
Joseph Forney Johnston,
I'VE, the rectory and vestry of st.
Marys parish, bow in humble submission
TO the will of God, and in tender recog-
milton of our love and reverence for our
dear friend and fellow churchman, wish
to express in some form our appreciation
of him to be of lasting record; therefore,
be it
Resolved That the life of Senator
Johnston is written in the history of a
nation, that as a devoted and distin-
guished citizen and patriot the history
of Birmingham, of Alabama and of his
own beloved south, cannot be recorded
apart from the splendid work of his bril-
hoAt, anu COiStdul lie OIL ueNOCeu
service. The memory of the genial lov-
ing personality of the man has made its
impress upon the character and lives of
multitudes and will be held sacred in the
memory of his numberless friends as long
as memory shall last.
But we. the rector and vestry of st.
Mary's, especially wish to record our deep
appreciation of and love for our Chris
tian friend and brother and fellow, ves-
tryman in the church.
He was ever faithful and punctlious
in the discharge of every duty in the
church. His deep interest pervaded the
meetings of the vestry and his Judgment,
counsel, talents and means We're ever at
the service of the church. His faithful
and regular attendance at public worship
was an example to all, both young and
old, that had a most salutary effect and
which should be initiated by other busy
men.
Joseph Forney Johnston was one of
the founders of st. Mary's parish and ves-
tryman for more than 20 years, and senior
warden until his duties as senator ne
cessitated his prolonged absence from the
parish. He was for many years a lay
deputy to the general convention.
His death has caused a vacancy that
cannot be filled, and it is with profound
respect that we record our loss and sor-
row and extend to his loved ones our
tenderest sympathy in their bereavement
Grant unto him, o. Lord, eternal
rest, and may the light perpetual shine
upon him.
Resolved, That these resolutions be en-
rolled upon the minutes of the vestry
and that a copy of them be sent
to the family.

Washington, November 7.-Persons close
to the White House said tonight that
William F. McCombs, chairman of the
denooratlc national committee, who was
married in London today to Miss Dor
othy Williams, would accept President
Wilson's offer of the Enthusiastically to
France The post has been open to Mr.
McCombs ever since the Inauguration.
He twice has declined 1t but there is
every expectation now that he soon will
send the President word of his accept
ance.
In political circles it was generally be-
lieved that Mr. McCombs would become
ambassador to France and resign the
Craftsmanship of the democratic national
committee. Talk of successor already
is being heard and the name of Joseph
p. Tumulty, secretary to the President,
has been suggested by national COM
mitteemen in Washington. Some of those
who are suggesting Mr.. Tumulty pointed
out that it would be essential in the
choice of a national chairman to have
someone who had the personal confidence
of the President.
Mr. Tumulty declined to talk about the
matter AS the democratic national chair
man usually is not called upon for any
extended work until the time arrives for
the presidential campaigns, acceptance of
the post by Mr.. Tumulty would not neces-
sarily involve resgnins his present posi-
ton.

If Americans knew how much money
IS being spent in missionary work and
how little is being accomplished the dona-
lions for proselyting would stop at once.
Christianity Has Made No Headway

headway In India.
There is little prospect that the Hindus
IN any great number ever will be con-
verted to the Christian religion
AS to the low class Hindus the mis-
sionary system Is one of barterine
