1900 DEER KILLED
 SINCE LAST AUGUST
Last Report Shows Marked Decrease
 in Number Slaughtered.

The report of deer killing received at the office of the superintendent of fisheries and game Tuesday, brought the number of deer killed in the state since the new law went into effect last August up to 1,500. It was the opinion of Superintendent Champion that the number reported represented only one-third of the actual number killed. There has been for the past week marked decrease in the mum Der slaughtered and MT. Crampton att trfbuted this to the difficulty with which people who killed the animals for food had in keeping the flesh ur1- tainted in warm weather
 In the opinion of MT Champion, the present law was not working satis- factorily. It permitted the slaughter of the deer on a scale not contem- plated by the legislators, he thought It was necessary to amend the law so as to put a stop to the indiscriminate slaughter of the animals and also to put an end to the cruelty practiced in hunting them.

Local Boy Playing Good Game With
 Lawrence,

The following is an extract from the Lawrence Sunday Sun about Denny Murphy's playing in Saturdays game: Fuller pitched a grand game of ball for the locals and was held up in good shape by Danny Murphy (Murphy is known as Danny in Lawrence). The latter deserves a. great deal of credit for in the fourth inning while Harris was on first, Murphy attempted a bunt, the ball glanced from his bat to his right cheek bone and it imme- diately began to swell, making a bad looking eye, but Murphy insisted on sticking to his job and caught finely Murphy bunted safely on his second attempt and Harris went to third. Tn the last inning Murphy nailed high foul near the grandstand after a hard run. Murphy will be out of the game for few days as result of his in- jury.

HcHY sALT RHEUM
Sometimes Called Eczsma-Removed
 by Hoods sarsapariIIa.

Salt rheum is one of the worst and unfortunately one of the most com mon of all diseases. How it reddens the skin, itches, oozes, dries and scales, and then does this all over again! Sometimes 1t covers the whole body with inhamed, burning patches and causes intense suffering. which is commonly worse at night.
 Local applications may do some good, but they cannot permanently relieve. The disease will continue to annoy, pain and perhaps agonize. until the blood has been purified and the general health improved.

DIR. WELLS|S GIVEN
CORDIAL WELCOME
New Pastor of South High
lands Methodist Church
Arrives With Family

DR.. Preston Bookter Wells, the new
church, arrived with his family yesterday
afternoon from Rock Hill, S. c.. by way
of Atlanta.
Members of his congregation had ar
ranged for his reception at noon and had
planned a dinner to welcome him and
his family in their new parsonage home,
but telegram advised them that the
train failed to make proper connection in
Atlanta, and the reception was post
poned to an evening meal.
DR.. Wells comes to Birmingham with
the strongest Endorsements, both as a
man and as minister. Bishop Denny,
who at the recent Methodist conference
held in Bessemer sent DR.. Wells to the
Highlands charge, speaks of him in most
flattering terms. Some years ago Bishop
John Kilgo sent him to one of the first
churches in Louisville KY, where he re-
manned for four years, being later trans
ferred to other conferences. He has
served some of the best churches in the
south. His father was one of South
Cardinals most celebrated ministers.
serving such pastorates as Trinity in
Charleston, Washington Street, in Column
bia, and the first churches in Greenville
and Spartanburg. The son, after gradual
ing from Wofford college, Spartanburg,
s. c., and from Vanderbilt university, has
filled some if not all, of these more i'm
portant stations.
There is one man at least in Birming
ham who knows DIR. Wells. and that man
is President Thornwell Haynes of Bir-
mingham college DR.. Haynes delivered
a most impressive discourse to the con-
gregation at Highlands church last Sum
day morning in lieu of DIR. Wells, who
could not arrive in time for this service.
81 congratulate you people" said DR..
Haynes, ION procuring such man as
Dr. Wells as your pastor. 1t has been
20 years since / have seen him, but when
I did know him it was in college, at which
time he was my classmate, and 1 never
had a better friend during those college
days. Recently I came to Birmingham
perfect stranger, and L now count
myself doubly blest in having with me
one of my dear boyhood friends. If he
is half as good a preacher as he is a
loyal friend, you people of Highlands are
to be doubly congratulated. He is gen l.
tleman and scholar and in this instance,
thanks to Bishop Denny, it is the case of
a splendid man and a splendid people
coming together. / am sure great good
is to grow out of it."
The stewards of the Highlands Meth
odist church and quite a number of the
members of the congregation met DR..
Wells and his family at the Terminal sta
ton and gave him a hearty and cordial
reception.
