Jackson, Miss, February 24-lSpecial.)- y
The United Danughters of the Confeder-
acy have reopened the fight for the pres
erva tion of the old state capitol, and
Mrs. S. Il. T.. Rose, the president, whose
home is at West FONT, is appealing to
the various local chapters to see the
members of the legislature of their re-
spective counties for an expression of
their views. and to induce them, If possi-
bic, to agree to support measure for
the preservation of the old capitol.
It is understood that 1t will take about
Sl00,00G to put the old pile in first class
condition. AS it now stands it is mem
ace to life, the hiding place of bats and
owls, and an eyesore to the people of
Jackson as well as the public generally.
while sentineat enters very largely ipto
the demand for the preservation of the
historic structure, there Is no denial OF
the fact that it is badly needed as place
of storage for thousands of valuable rec
ords hat are now going TO destruction,
and for the use of three or four OF the de-

nc Doubt have told the man with the

He would have told His disciples not to
pluck the ears Of corn on the Sabbath,
that they had six days In which to gather
rations- But they say the disciples were
hungry. True, but is the only hunger a
desire to eat? Many people of Birming-
ham are hungry for wholesome Sunday
diversion and amusement
The hungry mind is as much in need of
food as a hungry stomach, Birmingham
has few public parks. and all are small
ard Inadequate. | was i'm the city of Bos-
ton last summer and was most favorably
impressed with the great number of pub
lie parks. | saw five separate baseball
games in progress at one and the same
time on the Boston common. In one park
alone there are y baseball grounds. The
people meet in these parks and at the
beaches ON Sunday, and in Suffolk county,
III which Boston is located with it's mil
lion people, there is less crime than in
Jefferson county. There the people have
wholesome amusement and diversion on
tie Sabbath day.
The Rev. Charles il. Spurgeon said; "If
tie devil catch man idle, he will set him
to work, find him tools, and before long
pay him wages
There is more crime committed in this
l,
day. For proof of this assertion one has
bur to examine the criminal dockets of
Jefferson county. Those VINO are oppos-
ing the movement for wholesome Sunday
anusements should remember that we
have practically no parks, and that the
naural craving of the human mind when
not employed in labor is for diversion.
But they say we should stay at home on
Sunday and get acquainted with the
children But would not the children get
better acquainted with daddy II, after
attending Sunday school and preaching on
Sunday morning, he took them to a park
or picture show in the afternoon? Too
it should be remembered that the chill
dren remain at home six days during the
week, while daddy is working.
The institution of the Sabbath is in no
danger The only danger comes through
enforced idleness. Show me a city where
the people have an ample system of pub
lie parks and other forms of Sundays
amusements and I will show you a city
where there is less crime than in Bir-
nil CHAM. Let us conserve humanity and
the Sabbath day through six days of labor
each week and wholesome diversion on
Sunday, and thereby bring on a stronger
broader, more tolerant and better race
of people Very respectfully,

THE CAPITAL WANTS
EDMONDS TO STAY
Hopes He Will Decline Call
to Birmingham Church
DECISION IN FEW DAYS
Holds Conference Monday With Com
mittee From South Highlands
Presbyterian Church Rela-
tive to Call
DECISION IN FEW DAYS

Montgomery February 2i.--( -(Speeiall--
Members of the First Presbyterian church
OF Montgomery are hoping that their pas
tof, the Rev. DIR. II. NJ. Edmonds, Will
de cline the call of the South Highlands
p esbyterian church Of Birmingham. DR.
Edmonds has received a formal call TO
the pastorate of the big Birmingham
church, and today he had a conference
with a committee representing that
church. It is probable that his decision
will be announced within the next day or
two.
DR.. Edmonds has been the pastor of the
First Presbyterian church here for sew
eral years, and he was won the friend
ship and admiration not only of the men,
bers of his church, but of the congrega-
tions of other churches. He has manifest
ed a live interest in all public and mu-
nicipal questions and has been one of the
busiest men in the city. DR.. Edmonds
prea ches every Sunday to large eongrega-
tions. many of his hearers being members
of other churches.
Dir. Edmonds is one of the most popular
pastors that ever lived in Montgomery.
ana his congregation will feel keen
personal loss in his removal from Mont
gomery.
While unable to devote much time to
exercise, DIR. Edmonds occasionally spends
an evening on the golf links, rarely often
or than once a week. lie is an ardent
devotee of golf, and is popular at the
Country club here, OF which he is MEM
Der.
1t is known that DR. Edmonds has had
the Birmingham pastorate under advise
nlent for some weeks, though until few
days ago 1t was believed that he might
be induced to remain in Montgomery.
Should he. accept the call to the Birming
ham church he will carry away from
Montgomery the sincere good wishes of
every man and woman with whom he has
come in contact since he came here to
live. His congregation will feel assured
tnat their loss has been Birmingham $

pie as brought to the attention of the
