 SPEAKSAT PELHAM
Kentuckian's Address Fea- ture of Session at Baptist
 Encampment
By ". P. THOMPSON

Pelham Heights June 9.-(Special) Early this morning the Baptist preachers were up, some long before sunrise, and just before the suns s rays were noticeable in the east they could be seen leisurely strolling along the well kept walks.
 Dr. J. R. Sampy of Louisville, Ky, arr rived on the fast train this morning, and immediately commenced to deliver his first lecture. which was much enjoyed by all present. pr. Sampy will remain through the days of the preachers school" and will lecture every day. The doctor was somewhat tired after his long trip, but did not let that interfere with his duties on the programme.
 Mrs. McTure of Birmingham arrived this morning, and will, in future, assist In all the exercises.
 Rev. B. Davis was the leader of prayer and song service during the even ing hours, which largely attended, and heartily participated in by most all of the ministers attending the encamp- ment.
 Before breakfast morning service was observed and there was a punctual, in- terested attendance. Especially noticeable is the interest that is manifested by the young ministers present; they enjoy an interchange of expressions made, and the hymns and prayers of their co-laporers. They seem intent on listening and learn ing, so that when this ''preachers school IS over they can return to their pulpits with information inestimable.
 A number of college students are in at tendance in the dining room, neatly dressed, courteous and attentive to all alike; in fact, most everyone here is a preacher, but the few who are not are
 in line" so far as attention Is con- cerned.
 The morning trains brought quite a number of newcomers-ladies included all of whom were met on their arrival at the hotel by those who arrived previ- ously, and it was pleasant to notice the | cordial greeting and hear the pleasant | words of eongratulation.
 On the hotel register this morning the | following names appear of late arrivals
 The Rev. A. G. Mosely, Wetumpka; the | Rev. w. M. Brumbeloe, Cardiff; the Rev | the Rev. J. s. Brown, Birmingham; the 1 Rev. w. M. Brumbese, Cardiff; the Rev | A. M. Glover, Dothan; the Rev.

COUNTY READY TO
 BUILD BIG DRIDGE

Bids for the steel beams and other steel material for the construction of the bridge across the Warrior river near Maxine will be opened next Tues day by the board of revenue.
 This bridge is being erected by. or der of the United States government. and has to be built according to its specifications. The present bridge is at the old Jasper ford. about three miles from the location of the new bridge. The government has spent many thou sands of dollars to make the Warrior river a navigable stream and two years ago condemned the present bridge as being too low to allow river boats to pass. under it.
 The board of revenue would ha e been put to a great expense in building a bridge at the Jasper ford. owing to, the long approach that would have been necessary, owing to the height of the bridge. and in selecting the site at Maxine were governed by natural advantages The new bridge will be built with convict labor and convict camp was established yes- terday and the concrete work com menced. The bridge when completed will be SIP feet long.

COULON
 LOSES TITLE ID
 KID" WILLIAMS
Bantamweight Champion Is Knocked Out in Third
 Round of Scheduled 20-ROund Bout

Ringside Vernon, Cal, June g. Johnny Coulon. bantamweight cham pion of the world. lost his titled to- night to Kid Williams of Baltimore. who knocked him out with a stiff right hand punch to the chin in the third round of their 20-round contest. The fighting was all Williams own from the start Coulon seemed to be unable to solve the problem of landing anywhere in the short interval of the first two rounds. and was saved at the close of the second round only by the time the ringing of the bell.
 The result proved the wisdom of the bettors. who favored Williams from the start. holding that Coulons illness which kept him out of the ring a year. had robbed him of championship. The odds on Williams went as high as the 22 to 1. At the ringside, while no betting was in evidence, it was plain there was plenty of money placed just before the contest a 10 to 6.
 At the opening of the first round the crowd repeatedly called for Williams to "get in and do it. evidently assured that he was capable of making good his claim to the championship title coulon landed but one really effective blow during the short contest. To- ward the close of the first round, he managed to reach Williams face.
 Although the champion was ob- Viously outclassed from the beginning his blow to Williams countenance elicited cheers from the crowd The lighting was fast and exciting from the start.
 1faf h.1H and kept Coulon sparring near the ropes. When the former champion re- ceived the blow which deprived him of his title he fell nearly under the ropes, within a few feet of Williams cor ner.
 As Referee Eyeton raised the new champions arm signifying him to be the winner, the crowd rose and cheerd lust1ly. Williams ran around the ref cree and attempted to assist the ex- champion to his feet. Coulon appeared shaky and scarcely able to walk As soon as he had gone a step or two he went to his corner unassisted how ever, and refused Williams proffered aid. Before Coulon had reached his corner the seconds of both men had leaped into the ring. followed by other ring officials and several policemen
 For eight minutes work in the ring and taking a beating at the hands of the champion, Coulon received about $300O. Before he would agree to meet Williams he demanded a guarantee of S5000 which was granted with the privilege of taking 40 per cent of the gate" The crowd was one of the largest seen at Vernon for months and Coulon took the gate percentage. In addition to this he received 5000 from the new champion, which was an agreement between the two men. Besides acquiring the bantamweight title Williams received s25O0 as his end of the purse.
