true spirit and meaning. "He did not repeal nor annul the Sabbath law by stripping it of the intolerable burdens which the ceremonials had heaped upon it'' All the church fathers kept the Lord s day instead of the Jewish Sabbath and thus the Christian Sabbath became the weekly holy day of the Christian dis pensation, and is the only Sabbath day mentioned as a sacred rest day after the resurrection" Not an evangelical church in Christendom, so far I as know, has ever stated: Tn the New Testament sense Sunday laws are unscriptural. Dr. Eaves is not presumed, with all his wisdom, to know more than MT. Wesley, MT. Watson, MT. Sturgeon, Dr. Joseph Parker, MT Gladstone, and many other distinguished men of England--Dr Eaves own native land, if I am not mistaken. Dr. Richardson of London says: By ac- tual knowledge, Jews who are strict Sab bath keepers, live 10 years longer than the Christians of continental Europe who do not keep one day in seven.'
 Daniel Webster said: The Sabbath is the bulwark of our liberty, because it is the bulwark of our morality" Black stone said: "A corruption of morals usu- ally follows the proclamation of the Sab bath" The supreme court of the United States, 40 Ill, R. 146, said: livery indi- vidual has the right to the enjoyment of the Christian Sabbath without liability to annoyance from the ordinary secular pursuits of life, except so far as they may be dictated by necessity or charity. !" The supreme court of Pennsylvania on January B. 1SSS held that the weekly day of rest is from mere physical and political standpoint of infinitely greater value than is ordinarily supposed, since 1t not only affords healthy relaxation to persons in every position of life. but throws strong barrier in the way of the degradation and oppression of the Iaboring classes, who of all others, need this ever recurring day of rest and relief from worldly toll. It is therefore neither harsh nor unjust that man should be required to obey these statutes which have been wisely ordained for the pro- tection of the Sabbath"

SOUTHERN FIVE
 EASY FOR CRIMSON
Alabama Five Rolls Up Big Score, Although Off Form-Capt. Harsh
 Uses Substitutes in Last Half

University, February 14-(Special.) Southern university's basketball con tingent was no match for Alabama here tonight and the Crimson rang up 40 to 23 victory as the result of a slow and somewhat disinteresting con- test. Captain Harsh's five simply toyed with their opponents, who appeared lost on the big gymnasium court.
 In the last part of the game every regular except Smith was taken from the Crimson lineup and second string men substituted but the change wrought but little difference in the general result. Alabama, while the victor showed up poorly in compari- son with her opponents, the collegians apparently taking things easily and resting for the strenuous battle ex- pected when they play in Birmingham tomorrow night.
 The line-up
 Alabama-Wells, forward; Smith, forward; Bowron, center; Hagan, guard; Harsh, guard
 S. U-Newsom, forward; Danally, forward Turnipseed, center; Jones, guard; Atkinson, guard.
 Substitutions: Alabama, Nelson for Wells, Haynes for Harsh. Wilson for Hagan. Vernon for Bowron; Greens boro, Robinson for Jones' Time of halves. 20 minutes; referee, Bowman.

 beg for little space to comment on pr. Dickinson's latest contribution to The Sunday movies controversy.
 pr. Dickinsons assertion that Dr. Caves article is piece of special plead ing for the Sunday movies is quite an unfair and inaccurate statement. Dr. Eaves' plea was for religious liberty, as representing the true spirit of Christ, and against religious tyranny. What Dr. Eaves thinks has been generally found interesting to the people. I am of the opinion that Dr. Dickinson would hardly have written at such length in opposition had he supposed that pr. Eaves able and instructive article would he generally ig- nored by the public. What pity that Dr. Dickinson should spend so much (doubtless valuable) time against an op-

Montgomery, February 1A-Cspecia1) Dr. Bradford Knapp of Washington, D.

The call for the meeting was issued by J. A. Wade. com missioner of agriculture and industries, this afternoon. pr. Knapp will be ac- companied by J. A. Evans of Washington, D. C., his assistant.
 The meeting, which is being promoted by the Montgomery Chamber of Com- merce, promises to be one of the most enthusiastic of its kind ever held in Ala bama. Prof. J. F. Dugger of Auburn, head of the Alabama experiment station, Commissioner Wade and other agricul- tural experts, will be on hand, as well as all the farm demonstration agents and district agents.

PuSHING SOY BEANS

Montgomery, February 14-(Special.) Why grow cotton when peanuts offer greater source of revenue and why allow cotton seed crushing machinery to remain idle great part of the year when it might be utilized In grinding soy and castor beans?
 This question is puzzling Emmet A Jones, chief of the immigration and markets bureau of the department of agriculture and industries, who is con vinced that farmers of the state are losing a golden opportunity in not de- voting more attention to the growth of these products.
 The value of peanuts in the manu- facture of a fine grade of oils and butterine already has been demon- strated as evidenced by samples Of these. articles which have been manu- factured by Swift & Co. of Chicago. and which have been sent to MT. Jones.
 The latest manufactured product from peanut oil to be received by Mir Jones is a package of oleomargarine, made from peanut oil crushed at Brundidge. This oleomargarine, or but terine, came today. It was neatly put up in pound packages and MT. Jones distributed the entire supply among of ficials at the capitol. Reports from those who tasted the Alabama product were to the effect that it was excel lent.
 Now MT. Jones is endeavoring to en- list the interest of the farmers of this state in the growth of soy and castor beans. From soy beans fine grade of linseed oil can be manufactured and from castor beans castor oil is made. In the opinion of MT. Jones, there is a great demand for soy and castor beans. and since they can be crushed by cotton seed machinery, they will offer splendid source of revenue to the planter in addition to the profits l derived from peanuts.

gelical pastors that they aim to make men slaves. They appear to others as tyrants, lords of Gods heritage in the soul" land seekers after the club of the policeman. etc, are merely his asser-
 tions. They are no answer to the "Weatherly ordinance" in the opinion of many, the best proposed Sunday laws Birmingham has ever had And the Pas tors union expects to ask our city com missioners to pass this ordinance and stop discriminating in favor of movie merchants" The evangelical pastors ex- pect the people by vote to settle this question. Not 8 few critics-in the event such legislation is denied them The peo- pie can be depended on when they get the facts. We depend on their judgment and action rather than a few recent arrivals,i whose criticisms and censures are not taken very seriously by some of us who do not forget that God said Re member the Sabbath day to keep it holy.' Class legislation, in our opinion, will be voted down. l.. F. WRITTEN.

ANSWER TO DR. EAvES

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 My good friend, pr. Eaves, comes our once more for what many of us regard the breaking down of the civil Sabbath.
 And l unhesitatingly deny him, or any other gentle man, that right without our protest. No florld prose nor honeyed lines of rhyme can blazon evil deeds,
 nor consecrate crime" For some
 months we have been in somewhat the condition of Philoxenus, at the banquets
 given by Dionysius who desired to op-
 tain expressions of opinions from the
 guests as to the merits of some poetry ne
 had composed. One after another the
 guests lauded and praised his poem; but one .Philoxenus, said nothing. On being
 urged by Dionysius to give his opinion,
 he told him it was miserable stufI.
 Dionysius then sentenced him to hard
 labor in the mines. Later on the friends
 of Philoxenus secured his pardon, when
 he was again invited to banquet of
 Dionysisus to hear some poetry read
 which Dionysius had written. All the
 other guests expressed favorable opinions
 of it, but Philoxenus remained silent
 When Dionysius noted that he said notn-
 ing, he addressed him, saying: What
 saith Philoxenus?" Garry me back to the mines'' The movie merchants" and SC me of their friends have exerted them selves to get us to praise Sunday movies, which we have not done. And rather than argue to their continuance-tnelj dissertation of our civil Sabbath, whlcf constitutes so great part of the founda ton of our great republic, we are to say: Garry us back to the mines" where we can at least be allowed by the laws of Alabama to have one day out of seven for rest and worship.
 pr. Eaves asserts: In the New Testa- ment sense, Sunday laws are unscriptural. Ours is not a religion of Mosaic laws | T1nnn no n assertion, does he insist that other Old Testament com mandments-none of them left-are un- scriptural? Jesus proclaimed himself the Lord of the Sabbath day-he was greater than Moses, because he was the lncai7 nate Legislator of the world. Jesus res cued the Sabbath from it's burial under
