en- directly to the dipping vat.
''The solution in the vat was tested
and found to be of the proper strength.
The cattle we're in a very weak, ema-
ciated condition; many Of them had
been down in the cars en- route and
were badly trampled and bruised. In
deed, rs of the number alleged to have
been lost from dipping we're dead in
the cars on the arrival of the ship
ment at Natchez, and not having been
dipped could not have died from that
cause Many of those dipped, some OF
which subsequently died, had to be
dragged to the vat by the tail and
horns, on account of their emaciated,
crippled condition. Post mortem ex-

that arsenical poisoning was the cause
of any of the loss; in many instances

broken ribs and hips as result o.

It is expected that the winners will be announced on June 26, but this is somewhat problematical as yet, depending upon the number of es- says received. Many would-be contest ants still seem to be confused as to the rules and regulations of the contest, as we'll as the prizes to be given. The rules and list of prizes can be secured at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters Hundreds of leaflets containing informa- tion about the contest were mailed last week and more will be sent out this week.

OAKLEY TRIAL SET
 FOR AUGUST TERM
Former Head of Convict Bureau Will Face An
 other Trial

Montgomery, June Especial. )-James G. Oakley's next trial on a charge of embezzlement probably will be held at Co., lumbiana next August, according to J. T. Leeper of Columbiana, attorney for Oak ley, who was in Montgomery this morn ing.
 "Mr. oakley's case is set for the Aug ust term of the Shelby circuit court. but I do not know what action the solicitor will take,in the matter. Mir Oakley was indicted three times, but all the indict- ments covered practically the same charge. At his trial in Columbiana sev- eral months ago, Mir. Oakley was acquit- ted and the remaining indictments cover practically the same charge as the one upon which he was tried" said MT. Leeper.
 It is probable that the attorneys for Oakley will plead former jeopardy at the next trial although MT. Leeper de- clined to discuss his plans.

DR. CARVER SPEAKS
 AT ENCAMP PMENT
Lectures on Life and Teach
 ings of Jesus
HEAR SERMONS TODAY
Dr. Sampey and Rev. Hendrix Lecture on Bible-Mrs. McLure, Miss Ford and H. l.. Strickland
 on the Programme

Pelham Heights, June 1S.-(special) Dr. ". o. Carver. a professor in the Louisville, Ky, seminary, arrived here this morning.
 He was tired after his long railroad Journey, but on his arrival finding that Dr. Sampey and pr. Hendricks. of How ard college, had been featuring extra hours in order to keep the programme so far as the lectures were concerned up to the promised standard he spoke.
 The gentlemen referred to did not at- tempt to interfere with pr. Carver's par ticular subject; they only substituted ex- tra lectures of their series.
 "The Life and Teaching of Jesus' is Dr. Carver's subject for the entire course and for today he spoke of ''The Fullness of the Times, or the Preparation for the Coming of the Christ"
 This preparation was referred to along four lines by the doctor. First he spoke of "The Worlds Need for Divine Re ceemer;" secondly, "The Awakening and Development of the Worlds Hunger for Religious Enlightenment" third, "The Preparation of Proofs of the Messahship and the Divinity of the Saviour and fourth, 'eThe Preparation for Begin ming and Developing the Work of salva- ton Through Jesus Christ"
 Dr. Carver said in the beginning that all the preparation was not for the pro- auction of a Redeemer, but was for the coming of the Son of God into the life of humanity.
 He endeavors to bring to the minds as vividly as possible the birth, the boy hood life and on through to the works of the Savior.
 The doctor intends, through the whole course to make his pupils dhe preachers) more familiar with the life of Jesus while on earth.
 pr. Sampey lectured to his class for an hour. It Is very evident that the preachers here are equally interested in the several different subjects presented by the several professors for there is no decrease in the attendance of the scholars at any of the lectures.
 pr. Hendricks and Mrs. Mcclure each had a full attendance when the lecture hour for them to speak was announced. The preachers here-most all of them take notebooks and pencils with them, and, during the lectures, they jot down choice sentences, so when they return home they will be able to tell their con gregations just what they heard on Pel- ham Heights.
 The Rev. A. J. Dickinson, pastor of the First Baptist church of Birmingham, is here, listening and lending his presence ;, to the good work that is in progress.
 Frank Willis Barnett. editor of the Ala bama Baptist, remained a couple of days with thep astors and conversed on the hotel veranda with little groups who were pleased to meet him.
 The Rev. David Bryan, who sails for China soon as a missionary, came up on the mountain in order to mingle and mix with Alabama Baptist preachers before he sails across the seas to engage in the work of enlightening the Chinese as to the Christian religion.
