NEGRO IS KILLED BY
RAILROAD OFFICER
Jones Fatally Wounds Lee
in Pistol Duel Yesterday
Morning

In a pistol duel at Twenty-ninth
street and Second avenue, north, at 8
o'clock yesterday morning, speelal
Agent Lee Jones of the Frisco railroad
shot and instantly killed Charley Lee,
negro.
After notifying Coroner Spain, Oftl-
cer Jones was allowed his liberty and
told to appear at the coroner's office
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock When
an official inquest into the killing will
take place.
The police department has entered
The affair as justifiable homicide on
their books.
Mr. Jones told me- said Coroner
Spain, that he shot the negro Charley
Lee, who was formerly a switchman
on the louisville and Nashville rail-
rnad, while the negro was shooting &
at him. Mr.. Jones further stated that
he ran up on Lee and several other

SPOT DEMAND WILL
Be MAIN INF FLUENCE
New Crop News Will Be of
Interest-Statistics Are
Eagerly Awaited

New Orleans, February 1.-The spot de-
mand would be the main influence in the
cotton market this week. If it is as small
as the bears expect it to be it will en-
courage further operations looking toward
fall in the price of futures, if it con-
tinues good as it has been the bulls
will be given the advantage.
The argument from the short side is
that the inquiry for the actual cotton
necessarily will fall off this week because
the pressure to buy of late has been due
to the filling of end of January ship
ments. The bulls admit this but argue
that much cotton has been sold of late
for both February and March shipment,
and that those who have sold will be
anxious to cover their wants as soon as
possible and therefore will enter the mar
ket at the first indications of a lul in
business Again, it Is considered that
spot shorts, in many cases. have been
given extensions of time which extern
sions will be completed this month and
will necessitate buying which is not look ed
for in some quarters. On top of all they
claim that as February is generally u
dun month in an export way, spot shorts
quite generally have selected it as a
proper time in which to buy the cotton
they need to the best advantage to them
selves.
Bulls believe that business in dry goods
will be stimulated by easier money and
signs of increased trade among the mills
will have a bullishN effect on futures.
Statistics will be eagerly awaited be-
cause a continued large into-sight move
ment will be taken, in some quarters as
confirmation of large crop ideas. Another
falling off in mill takings, such as took
place this last week, would be the great
est encouragement the short side could
receive.
New crop news will be an interest.
Good weather would favor the short side,
which lately has been pointing out that
the Mississippi river is now at a very low
level against more than flood stage at
some points year ago. Continued low
water would allow early planting in the
Mississippi valley

Celebration of Third Ami
versary of Christ English
Church Concluded

The Christ English Lutheran church
last night closed its celebration of its
third anniversary. The exercises in
commomoration of the founding of the
church in Birmingham three years ago
extended over a period of three days
and proved very interesting. The prin-
eipal address of the evening was de-
livered by the Rev. r. l.. Patterson,
secretary Of the board of home mis-
sions with headquarters in Charlotte,
\. @. Mr.. Patterson is stopping in Bir-
mingham for few days before making
his annual visit TO Macon, where there
Is another Lutheran mission.
The Christ English Lutheran church
in Birmingham was organized the first
Sunday in February. 1910. The follow
ing October the Rev f. II. Copen-
haver was called to the pastorate of
the church. He has been its pastor
since that time The church began
with S5 members and until a year ago
held it's services In Fraternal hall.
Although it is a comparatively small
church, year ago 1t purchased the
property at the corner of Seventh ave-
nue. and Twenty-third street, paying
the sum of $4,000. 1t is the intention
of the congregation to erect on this
property at the earliest possible date,
a church edifice that will be a credit
to Birmingham on the church prop
erty at the time it was bought stood
siN-room cottage This was remod-
eled into a chapel and the services have
been held here since that time.

who spoke on the laymens missionary
movement; and Fred Larkins, who
spoke on Church Finances" "There is
no well regulated business" said Mr..
Larkins, lin which you can become a
partner without first paying into the
business a stipulated amount. In a
lodge one Is required to pay an initia~
ton fee, dues and special assessments
at times. In the church no admission
fee is asked no dues are to be paid
No other organization but a church
could live without means of finan-
cling that was sure and certain The
church lives because 1t has the sane
tion of God"
The sermon OF Mr. Patterson was
then delivered. The minister spoke on
1.-THE Conviction of a Religion" Among
the great instances of conviction he
cited the deliverance of the three
Christians from the fiery furnace of

When the ElIs of Birmingham and

thought to employ a number of profess
