ENCANPNENT ENTERS
UPON IT'S THIRD WEEK
DR.. Sampey Nearing Conclusion of
His Course of Lectures-Dr. Car
yer on the Life of Christ

Pelham Heights. June 22-(Special)
Today the third week of the Alabama
Baptist encampment was commenced.
and as the class Is as large now as when
the encampment opened two weeks since,
it is believed there will be good attend
ance for the remainder of the session.
Quite a number Of the preachers who
serve churches nearby or within a ra-
dius of 100 miles left on late trains on
Saturday to preach at home, but on every
train this morning some of them re-
turned to Pelham ready to commence the
study of the Bible and listen to DR.. Hen
bricks DR.. Sampey and DR.. Carver ex-
plain the Scriptures.
Dr. Sampey is nearing the end of his
explanations of translatons made by the
Hebrew and Greek translators. DR.. Sam
pey did extra work when the session first
commenced, owing to DR.. Carver's alb
sence for three days, and now that extra
time is put in will enable him to finish
I'D day or two sooner. This, however
will not lessen the number of lectures
ca CHI day, as DIR. Carver will deliver two
lectures each of the three remaining
days.
DIR. Carver took charge of the class and
lectui ed for an hour, principally on "The
Life of Christ" from the age of 10 years.

New York, June 22.-(Special)- new
national banking law has been described
by some who have studied it in all its
details as probably the finest piece of
constructive banking legislation of modern
times. Claiming Rudd, who is in as
sociation with a great international bank
ing house which is tho heir of the pres
tige created by Alexander Brown in Bal
timore in the early years of the past
century which was the first of American
banking houses to engage largely in the
business of foreign exchange, was quoted
a day or two ago as having thus spoken
of the new national banking law. Some
of the ablest banking authorities in this
city have, in modified form, thus de-
scribed the new law, intimating that here

system possible to be devised for the
United States.
1t has been observed. however, that
many of those who have given much
study to this law have been of the COM
mon opinion that it's value Is to be demon
strated by the character of the federal re-
serve board. That board can facilitate
the perfect operation of the law at very
early day. or 1t may feel its way slowly,
apprehensive lest some mistake may be
made. This would tend to delay the ex-
pected smooth and adequate operation of
the new banking system.
Since President Wilson has named the
five members of the new board who. with
the two ex-officio members, are to con-
stitute the full board, opinion in the flnan-
cial district of this city has been crys-
talized so that 1t is now possible to re-
port that the board as whole Will, 1t is
believed. fully meet the expectations OF
the administration at Washington. of Con-
gress and of banking interests through
out the United States.
It Is observed that highly favorable conn.,
ment has conferred upon the nomination of
Paul Warburg of this city and of w. P.
G. Harding of Birmingham. These two
very high authorities will, If they work
in perfect harmony-and 1t is expected
that they will so work-constitute very
valuable authority and influence for the
federal reserve board. OF course in this
city it is necessary to do no more than
mention Mr.. Warburg's name. for he is
thus completely identified. It has been
the general understanding here that 1t
was largely due to his counsel and ex-
perience that the best features of the
so-called Aldrich plan were Incorporated

many people have been to Birmingham,
given us the "once-over" and returned to
their home to give their Impressions Of
what they saw, that when the writer
found himself in this little city of the
riddle west the temptation to do likewise
was irresistible. There are SO many
points of contrast in saying and doing
that appeal so oddly to one that he was
continually amusing and being amused
The first and most striking difference
that one notes Is in the speech of the
people. Voices here are in the main harsh
and not pleasing to the ear. and sad to
relate, the greater part of the people talk
through their nose. Not that there are
no pleasing or musical voices, but they
are the exception rather than the rule.
A person from the real south Is more or
less of a curiosity here and finds himself
being watched and led to talk along lines
which require the use of certain words
which pleasantly tickle the aural sense
of the hearers.
1t is related that man from the south
visited Bluffton and was present at a
social function. He was much puzzled to
young ladies' who insisted on discussing
street car systems of the south and the
relative merits of pork chops and roast
beef. He found the necessity arose also
of using many participates and infnitives.
He was amazed at the time, but sub
sequently discovered that the object of
the conversation was to hear him pro-
nounce pork chops street car" go
ing" and similar words. 1T was so
cute" he was afterward told by one of
the young ladies.
Now while people here insist on giving
every letter of every word full value and
In some cases double, they nevertheless
like the softer southern speech. When a
person from Bluffton goes south and re-
turns here he usually brings back with
him a southern accent so broad that 1t is
such as is only found in books-written
by Indiana novelists. And especially Is
this true of the gentler sex.
Difference in Idioms
The idioms of speech differ widely also.

The Baltimore Convention solcmnly
promised the country a system of Rural
Credits which would have relieved the
farmer, enabled him to employ labor,
encouraged him to add comforts to his
home and give higher education to his child

The Italian Church Responsible

a FEW years ago, the Spanish priests
caused Professor Ferrer to be shot, because
he was setting up modern schools in Spain.
Later, they caused Premier Canalej as to be
stabbed to death, because he wanted to liber-
ate Spain from the corrupt rule Of the italian
and Spanish priests.
How the priests caused the murder Of
Mayor Gaynor, of New York, is a recent
story.
The Catholic police of New York did not
make any effort at all to arrest the priest who
acted as Gallagher's accomplice in the crime,
and who quietly slipped away, after the shoot
ing began.
Last week the world was startled by the
assassination of the heir to the dual crown of
Austria. He and his wife were killed in a
town of the small province of Bosnia, which
Austria had seized because Austria was strong
enough to do it.
Before the killing of the Austrian Arch
duke and his wife was known, the following
paragraph appeared in The Truth Seeker of
New York:
The kingdom of Servia in the Balkans, which
has the habit of changing rulers by assassination,
has become officially Roman Catholic. On June
"a concordat signed between the ''EToly See,"
which is the pope, and Servia, giving formal
ognition to Catholicism as the State religion. The
dispatch says that the pope has appointed an
archbishop for Belgrade and bishop for Uskub,
whose salaries will be paid by the government.

change in the direction in which the graft will
hereafter flow.
While the Archduke Ferdinand was shot in
Bosnia, it is known that the plot was made in
Servia.
The mighty Empire of Austria is the Ttal-
ian pope's last stronghold in Europe. Aus
trian influence bent Servia to popery, and was
doing the same thing iii Bosnia and Here
govina-the stolen provinces.
The Archduke Ferdinand and his wife were
the most bigoted papists, and as such were
intensely hated by all the anti Romanists of
the world.
Tt was the dream Of Ferdinand to restore
popery in all of its Dark Ages oppressiveness.
He utterly despised the common people,
detested popular movements, was the bitter
foe of civil and religious liberty,
He was reactionary of the very worst
type.
Mankind lost nothing when a patriot of
Bosnia taught tyrannical kings and poten-
tates that the plain people are yet to be recl1-
oned with in the naughty moves of dynastic
policy.
If the italian church had not used Austria
to force itself upon people who did not want
it, this tragedy would not have occurred.
After all, God made the human race; and
He did not give any portion Of it the right to
force it's notions OF law and religion upon
