"A Darlington preacher said in one
Of his recatt sermons LII man
wants TO join my church | asl, him if
he loves God with all his heart and on
his answer depends my willingness to
admit him. This preacher would not
pay much attention to creeds aud forms
Of baptism and other non-essential de-
tails. He would 20 direct to the core
Of the matter and learn the condition
Of the applicants mind toward God
and his fellow men. That preacher
was nearer right than the one who
takes anxious care about mere details
and forms. Christian religion does not
consist principally in forms and creeds.

Man may be helped to a position Of
prominence by the miscalcrlating, de-
ceived and foolish voters, but, if he
does not develop the qualities that go
TO the making of man Of power along
the lines of reliability and justice,
man of conscience, he doesn't amount
to much. He may set in high and
honorable place, but all the kings
horses and all the kings men can't
make him look as though he belonged
there.

BALDWIN BbAAI OWN FORMS
 GOOD ROADS ASSN.
Probability of Bond Issue for Highway Improve
 ment Considered

Bay Minette, June 10.-(Special IA meeting of Baldwin county good roads enthusiasts was held at this place yes- terday afternoon for the purpose of or ganizing a county association which would work for the betterment of the roads throughout the county and for the legis- lation which would enable the county to issue bonds in sufficient quantities to build the roads and to provide for the maintenance of them after building
 Enthuslasts from various parts of the county were here, and John Craft of Mobile, president of the Alabama Good Roads association, was in attendance and assisted in the work. The organization was headed by J. B. Lawrence of Dyas as president, Fred c. Hail of Bay Minette as county secretary, w. A. Hammond of Summerdale as vice president and J. S. Lambert of this place as field man and organizer.
 Good talks were in order and before the meeting came to close it was decided that a general meeting should be held at Foley in the southern end of the county, on July 1, at which time the remaining of fieers of the association should be elect ed and the permanent course of procedure laid out. It was estimated that about 700 miles of road would place the countys most remote places in easy access to other points and railroads. and that $780, 0O0 in bonds would build the roads
 It is expected that before six months have passed the organizer for the county will have organized many auxiliary asso- citations, and that 400 or 800 members will have been taken in.

CARRANzA ANSWER
 ID NOTE DELAYED
Reported Rebel Chief Has Wired Answer to Wash
 ingtOn Representative

Fl Paso, Tex, June 10.-General Car ranza's s answer to the proposal of the A. B. c. mediators again was delayed to- day and it was said on good authority that he had wired Rafael Zubaran. con stitutionalist representative at Washing ton. for additional details regarding the situation at Niagara. This was taken IS indicating that Carranza was undecided regarding his answer. Constitutionalist agents here expressed the opinion that the revolutionary leader would not alter his repeated refusal to submit to ex- terior interference in Mexicos internal difficulties or to agree to an armistice.
 It was predicted that General Carranza might make an indefenite reply because the mediators were said to have been in definite as to the exact status on which the constitutionalists would enter the con- ference.
 Fighting by revolutionists and federals near Vera Cruz was announced in a message today from General Carranzas S headquarters. The fight occurred June [ at Ahuacate. where forces of General Candido Aguilar, constitutionalist com mander and governor, dereated a strong column of federals.
 Constitutionalists officials in the United States today received their first official report of Carranza's s entry into Saltllo.
 A message from Ysidro Fabela Carran- ga s acting secretary of foreign relations, told of the enthusiastic reception of the eonstitutionalist commander. Febela said Carranza's provisional government im- mediately was established.
