school includes pupils between the ages
of u and 20, covering the intermediate
and senior departments. This has been
called the neglected period OF the Sun
day schools, for heretofore less has been
done toward meeting the especial needs
of the pupils of this age than at any
other time of life. Conservative est-
mates show that fully half a million boys
and girls of this age drift out of the
Sunday schools of North America every
year. Statistics show also that 6S per
cent of all criminals and II per cent OF
all who ever become Christians do so
at this same age, thus indicating that 1t
is the critical time in life.
The organized secondary division Bible
class has recently been developed through
the International Sunday School assoeia-
ton as a means of holding boys and
girls of the "teen-age" In the Sunday
school and training them for definite
Christian service. While this is relatively
a new thing In Sunday school work, 1t has
made rapid progress, especially during
the past year in Alabama. The report at
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-27


the state convention of the Alabama Sun
day School association last April showed
an increase of more than seven fold in
this department during the preceding 12
months.
The plan for a state wide double up
campaign, which will be launched De-
eember 1, according to General Secretary
Palmer of the State Sunday School School
association, eontemplates asking each en-
rolled secondary division class to or
ganize and enroll at least one other class
during the month. This is a minimum
of achievement; 1t Is expected that many
classes will do much more. In addition to
this practically every county Sunday
School association in the state has "A
county secondary division superinten-
dent. who will cooperate with the state
secondary division superintendent and
each of these county superintendents is
expected to organize at least five new
classes during the month.
At the state Sunday school convention
in Mobile, April 81, %, %. next. a banner

showing the largest increase in secondary

Charged With Killing Pied

KLINE FOR SENATE
Manager of Profile Mills at Jackson
vile Declares Mills Will Con-
tinue to Run-Thanksgiving
at Admission

Admission. November 26.-(SpeeiaL )-The
preliminary hearing in the case of Jim
Tucker and Will Davis the two men who
are being held in the Calhoun county jail
in this city as a result of the killing
of Isaac w. Kemp at Piedmont last Sat
urday. has been set for Friday of this
week, the hearing to start at o'clock
in the afternoon.
The case will be called before Judge
J. J. Arnold of the probate court, but
1t is probable that it will be held in the
city or the circuit court rooms on ae-
count of the intense interest that has
been manifested in the hearing, Mr..
Kempt having been well connected in bus
mess here and at Piedmont for several
years.
While no positive statement has been
issued from the court, it is now consid-
cred very likely that Judge Thomas w.
Coleman will issue a call for a special
term of the city court grand jury in the
event the preliminary hearing indicates
that either of the two men being held is
guilty of unjustiflable homicide, and that
a special session of the court will be held
IN January TO try the man or ulen oii
whom the probate court fixes the blame
for the death of Mr.. Kemp.
Calhoun county politics was given re-
newed interest Tuesday afternoon by the
positive announcement of Charles d.
Kline, well known attorney, that he
will be a candidate for the state senate
to succeed Thomas e. Kilby in oppo-
sition to D. C. Cooper, who announced
some time ago.
Mr.. Kline has resided in Admission for
a number of years, being son of a for
mer general manager of the Central OF
Georgia railway. He has for some time
been secretary of the Admission Bar asso-
citation and has prominently Identified
himself with labor and farmers organiza-
tions. He has not yet announced his
platform.
His opponent is a prominent banker and
capitalist, mayor of oxford and promi-
nent in church and Sunday school work
throughout the state. Both men are pro-
hibitionists.

ENTIRE SQUARE FOR
CITY HALL WANTED
Meridian Holds Election
Friday on Charter
Amendment

Meridian, Miss. November 26-(Speeal)
Friday there will be held an election in
this city on the adoption of charter
giving the city the right to hold eminent
domain proceedings in order to secure a
site for the building of a new city hail.
The city owns half a block on Twenty
fourth avenue, between Sixth and Seventh
streets and it is desired to add to this at
least half of another block making an
entire square for the new building.
The city authorities have been unable
to agree on price with the owners of
the property, and it is for this reason
that the charter amendment is being
acked so that condemnation proceedings
may be had and the value of the property
legally fixed. The city has the right to
sell the present city hall property and
1t is expected to bring sufficient money
to pay for the additional land desired
for the new site.
The stockholders of the Mississippi-Ala-
bama fair met yesterday at the rooms OF
the Board of Trade to hear the final re-
port of William Wright, auditor, who
has just completed full audit of the
books for the three years that the fair
las been in existence and this audit shows
a profit of over $500 for the period The
attendance this year. with only three
good days was 5000. The report was
very gratifying to the stockholders who
say they are determined to put more
money into the fair another year and
make it superior to anything heretofore
attempted. 1t is expected to commence
planning next years fair early and on a
large scale.

JUST ESCAPED
Being Knocked Down By

The nearest thing to an accident
that had happened up to Thursday
morning occurred Wednesday after
noon just before dark. At Main
and Ninth streets three gentlemen
were crossing when a negro boy
coming down the street at high
speed on a bicycle missed running
into the cashier of one of the banks
by just hairs breadth. This week
it has been about as hard to cross
the street at the point named with
out being caught by a vehicle of
some kind as it is to cross Broadway
or Fifth Avenue. New York.

Deserve Praise.

The President, the Directors, and
all the officials deserve the highest
praise for giving the people of the
city and county the best fair they
have had. Just put yourself in their
places and see if you would have
done as they have. They have not
had easy sailing by any means. On
the contrary, they had to contend
with discouragements and obstacles
that nobody but themselves know
anything about. They are the kind
of men that make city out of a
town. Here's to every officer, COM
mitteeman and everybody else that
contributed to make the fair the big
success it is

RAIN TODAY
Rain began to fall last night
at IL o'clock and had not
held up this morning at z,
spelling the last day.

With the crowds increasing every
day, the pennyroyal Fair has proven
a success in every sense.
The following prizes not hereto
fore announced have been awarded
in the various departments:
Thursday the attendance was more
than double that of Wednesday,
which was much beyond that of
Tuesday, the opening day.
On Thursday morning one of the
conductors of the shuttle train said
he carried 900 on one of his trips to
the grounds.
Many estimates were made as to
the number at the fair at 2 o'clock.
The highest estimate was 5000
The seating capacity of the grand
stand is said to be 1000. At 2:3O
there was not vacantseat and hard
ly standing room on the promenade.
The Southern en1 of the grand
stand, which was cut off for the col
ored population, was filled for the
first time.
The open space inside the railing
was packed with men who wanted
to see the races, the crowd stretch
ing along the Northern and South
ern fences was lined with people
four or five deep.
After the second race before the
third was made up public announce
ment was made that all who desired
could cross the track and occupy the
ground surrounding the judges
stand. Then there was rush OF
hundreds across the track to secure
best positions for seeing the third
race.
All the pay attractions had their
share of the crowd. There are so
many little and big tents in h I
quarter that make up a little town.
Under the grand stand, where
needle and fancy work, vegetables,
pigeons. chickens, and other fowls
are shown, was moving mass.
At 3d. clock the train to the grounds
carried about all the cars could hold.
Scattered over the grounds were
hundreds of others who are employ
ed by horse owners, those having
machinery. exhibits, etc.
Unless there be a way of ascertain
ing exactly the number of paid ad-
missions we are inclined to believe
that the 5000 estimate is not far
from correct

Floral Hall.

The exhibits in the floral hall de-
serve special mention. In the needle
and fancy work department are to
be seen more of women's handiwork
than ever exhibited at any previous
fair. Some of the patchwork quilts,
il has been asserted, were shown
here at fairs previous TO the civil
war. But their colors are as bright

Other Cases.

Isaac Carrot against the Penn
broke Electric Light and Power Co.
Attachment sustained and case dis
missed
V. M. Williamson against M. G.

ed without prejudice:

Larger GrandStand.

The crowd that overhowed the
grounds about the grandstand Thurs
day, all having to stand. some of
them in the sun, with the tempera-
ture up TO about 80 degrees, made
it quite plain that the seating capac-
ity of the grand stand for the 1914
fair will have to be increased about
$50 per cent.

In the Berkshire rings the only
entries were those of j. Nj. Morris,
