Inherited Athletic Fam. ].

There was never finer illustration of the. fact that athletic prowess is handed down from generation to gen eration than that which is presented in the persons of the VandeGraaff brothers said Hugo Friedman of Tus- caloosa. who was in Birmingham last night
 Judge A. S. vandeGraaff, when student at Yale, was great athlete. They still sing songs and tell stories of his prowess on the diamond and on the gridiron. He has three sons and each of them has starred on Alabama football teams. First. there was Ad- rian, sterling halfback. And then there was Hargrove, one of the gamest youngsters who ever trod the field. And now there is Bully. and perhaps 1t will please the other brothers to add, Bully is the greatest of the three,
 "On the Alabama team at present is another of the famous Burkes broth CTS. Every follower of the sport in the south remembers Auxford Burkes. in his day the superior in many respects of all other players beneath the Mason and Dixon line. And then followed the Burkes tackle, as powerful and as game as one In a hundred years could find. And now the third Burkes is in har- ness, and he is destined to go as high on the road to fame as those who have gone before"

 do not mean that they will all go td pr. Edmond's church. but that they will now go more often to the church which they have heretofore occasionally attend ed. They will talk to the ministers oi the church their fathers attended, and they will go to hear the nearest preacheI discuss the practical things of Christian life and what manner of living and thought constitute such.
 Men who have heretofore sought polit1 ical discussions on Sunday over bottle of beer, or a glass of whisky will now go where they can hear religious discus sions. The highball and the beer schooner and abusive political talk win be abanl doned for discussion of the merits and
 
 demerits of various forms Of religious teachings and every man will have op- rortunity to ascertain wherein, or within which religious sect, he. really belongs There have been those caustic enough in their criticism to ask the question: suppose pr. Edmonds were to leave. what would become of the new church? Dr.. Edmonds will not leave His heart and his soul are in his work and such earnest followers of his teaching have already developed that, were he to pass away. his place would be filled.
 He will bring as many people in Bir- mingham into the fold of Christianity and the church as Billy Sunday did in Phila- delphia and he will hold them because he will remain with them and because he has the staying qualities.
 Nothing has so aroused Birmingham and Alabama to the good in many years as these recent happenings growing out of theological conflict in a local church.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE GOOD
 THAT HAS COr1E OF A DISAGREEMENT

discussed the merits of candidates for political office.
 Men and women have read up on re- ligious creeds and talked with each other about their views. Every man has. more or less, made confession of his religious views and of his life. Every man of knowledge has become a street corner teacher The ignorant have not hesitated to ask questions and have found those eager to answer and to teach and to con vert.
 People have Hooked to hear Dr. Ed monds until the largest church edifico would not hold them. He has been in- vited to talk to womens meetings and mems meetings every day and many times a day.
 Preachers. of other denominations have gone to near -hln, to grasp his hand and to congratulate him upon the good work he is doing. He has been swamped with commendatory letters from ministers throughout the land. He is the man of men today in that he is teaching that which they have yearned to learn.
 
 And this entrance of Dr. Edmonds out into the great broad world-into a re- ligious world wherein everyone is invited to enter-has come at a happy time. It has come at time when the business world is entering upon new era Manu- factories have started again and are working at their fullest capacity. and even Judge Gary, the head of the great Steel corporation, announces publicly to the world that orders are so profuse and at good prices, that all labor in this coun- try will be employed. Every man can earn a generous livelihood Every man has opportunity to make himself and his family content.

Compared With Atlanta

Birmingham is better theatre town than Atlanta. although some Atlanta boosters claim otherwise" said Brown Parks, treasurer of the Jefferson. 'As a rule, high class attractions play to larger audiences here than they do in the Geor- gla city.
 Forbes Robertson played three nights In Atlanta and the box office receipts ex- ceeded by only $100 the receipts for two performances in this city. Our receipts Thursday night, when The Light That Failed was the bill, were $1700 and Fri day night when Hamlet was presented, our receipts were $23OO-$40OO for two per- formances, as against Atlanta's S $41O0 for three. The manager of the company was surprised and disappointed when he found that Forbes Robertson was not booked for three nights in Birmingham.
 Our theatregoers responded beauti- fully to the appeal made by the manager to be in their seats Friday night not later than 8 o'clock, when the curtain would ring up. When the hour came, the house was packed and we had to turn many people away"

Foster Well Known

w. R. Foster, the expert accountant who was killed Friday in fall from near the top of the Jefferson County Bank building, was well known" said J. A. Downey yesterday.
 He was born in Mississippi and grew up with T. w. Gregory, attorney general of the federal government I first knew him as a student at Poughkeepsie in 1876 He was kinsman of the well known Tuscaloosa family of Fosters
 The deceased was an unusually bright student, and in after years became one of the most perfect bookkeepers and &C., countants of the state. He was one of the examiners of public accounts during the administration of ex-Governor ONeal."

MORNING.

It's weary way we travel when you come to count the miles, The heartaches and the sorrows that we meet along the road; The bitter years of waiting on Dame Fortunes tardy smiles, When our strength is scarcely equal to the still increasing load. And yet, some days are wondrous fair, the skies above are blue And the trilling of the reathered throng is echoed in our hearts. It takes but little after all to banish thoughts of rue When the sun leaps up in glory and the gloom of night departs.

ruscaloo.a Quiet But Happy

Frank NJ Moody, well-known banker of Tuscaloosa, was visitor yesterday. He was asked as to the condition of Tus- caoosa.
 '.Tuscaloosa." he replied, lis all right Business is picking up. Everybody is ap- parently satisfied. Tonight. however, everybody is happy.
 For you know, we have just won a football game. Winning an ordinary foot ball game would not so completely upset us. But it must be remembered that We today defeated Sewanee for the first time in IS years. We have broken the jinx s power and we are happy.
 During the months of depression Tus- caloosa bore up excellently. We will make strides rapidly as soon as the wave of prosperity is flowing over us"
 Coach Kelly Very III
 we will have to break the glad tidings w. Greer, an assistant professor of the University of Alabama, and former Age Herald reporter, last night.
 He is desperately i'll. His malady is typhoid fever. and his case has been and is still regarded as quite serious one
 Because there was fear of exciting him he was told that today was Friday. He is expecting the Alabama team to clash with Sewanee tomorrow. We will have to break the news gently. But I feel sure that the story when told will cause him to improve.
 He is splendid coach, and the Ala bama team is swearing by him"
 Robert JemisOn Satisned
 One man at the football game yester- day was immune from depression irre- spective of how the battle ragged He was Robert Jenison, Jr.
 1T was born in Tuscaloosa" he said. ''and attended the University of Alabama. left that institution. however, and en- tered s'ewanee. So my heart was di- vided during the splendid battle.
 "I was in the happy position of the man who could not lose. Whenever Ala bama and Sewanee play I watch the game and glory in the fine work of each team. I love both aggregations and would rejoice were 1t possible for both to win.'
 In other years MT. Jemison has visited the scene of the annual lAlabama-Sewanee aan,e with ribbons of Crimson-w White on one lapel and ribbons of Purple on the other.

=. HATEVER might have been the A/ theological merits of the separa-
 tion of Dr. Henry M. Edmonds from the South Highlands Presbyterian church, the fact that new church With Dr. Edmonds at it's head has been or ganized has worked more good in Bir- mingham than anything which has hap pened within the last decade
 Men who have religious merit in their minds and goodness in their hearts, who have feared the theological intricacIes of most of the churches. have entered this new church. They have entered it because they feel that there is a chance for them therein. They feel that they have a teacher with a heart and a soul, of human understanding. who will lead them in the right paths; who will teach them the right form of living and who will educate them to think right
 * * *
 I know of hundreds of men of my ac- ouaintance who have felt as I have, who are entering this church. They feared the theological examination-the cross-examination-th reprimands and reproaches of the older officials of some of the churches.
 There are men. women and children who have been eagerly awaiting the grasp of the hand of fellowship and words of en- couragement from liberal and generous church.
