NOTES FROM TRINIDAD.

The revival held with the st. Paul s
Baptist Church, which was planned
for 10 nights, beginning March 4th,
was extended to 2 additional nights,
because of such a manifested inter
est, zeal and religious enthusiasm. On
the whole the meeting proved the
greatest success known in the history
of st. Paul's church.
The plans for said meetings were
judiciously made and prayerfully car
ried out, by both the pastor and peo-
pie. The Holy Spirit found large
place for activity and service, to the
glory of God, and for advancing the
Kingdom of Jesus Christ in Trinidad.
The new pastor, Rev. /. Harrison Wal
lace, was at his best, for IL nights.
The church was in fasting and prayer.
The church truly revived, sinners con-
verted to God. And you ask by what
method? Just bit Of organization
by the minister, but deal of conse-
Grafton by the church.
1st. The church, or a major por-
tion of it was asked to form itself in
to a personal workers group; with
this motto: Prayer: before leaving
home, endeavor to be led by Holy
Spirit into streets and homes OF
others.
End. Inviting men and women to
the meetings; securing names and ad-
dresses of those invited; making a
prayer list, making notations as to
Christians, sinners or back-sliders.
3rd. Whenever and wherever con-
venient, prayer should be offered 3
times a day, for Church, Pastor and
people.
4th. Lists carefully made, original
was to be retained by personal work
er and supplement turned in to min
lister.
The experience worked wonders in
the life of both church and preacher.
The meeting closed with Z accessions
to the little church; 4 for baptism;

pastor came to Trinidad, Feb. 8th.

ALABAMA CAVALRY
 WILL NOT BE SENT
 ID FIGHT IN FRANCE
This Unit Will Be Used to Guard Mexican Border, Relieving Regulars
 Now There

Montgomery May 15-(Special.) )-Col. Bibb Graves regiment of cavalry organ ized last year and in training from the moment it was mobilized, has little chance of going to the fighting front of Europe Instead, it will relieve regulars on the border which will be sent as fight ing units to the aid of the allies. This information has been conveyed to the state military department in a circular order from the war department signed by Brig Gen. William A. Mills Of the general staff.
 For several weeks it has been thought that this regiment would be one of the first units to be sent abroad because Of the fact that it has been in training for number of months and has received unusual commendation for efficiency. It was honored by being selected as the escort of honor for the body of Major General Funston when he died at San Antonio early in the year.
 But the war department was explicit in its announcement and officers of the regiment are resigned to their duties and expect orders at any moment to entraln for some border point. The circular or der read that it would not be the policy
 
 cavalry abroad for service- with the allies and continued: "In case any small force of cavalry should subsequently, prove desirable with our troops operat- ilig abroad regular regiments could be used for this purpose and their places on the border taken by the National Guard cavalry regiments.
 Even with this decision, the cavalry will have a. responsible work to do, that of protecting the border from raids from the Mexican side which have been preva- lent since the Mexican revolutions were started several years ago. Guard duty on the border is now being done by regulars, but they will be ordered to France and other fighting fronts and their places must be taken by national guardsmen.

FOUR CANDIDATES FOR OUTER GUARD
 K.P. GRAND LODGE
This Position Is Important, as It Is First Step Toward Highest Honor in
 State

Montgomery, May 15.-(special.) Four or more well known citizens of the state will enter the contest for grand outer guard of the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias of Alabama, at the annual election of officers Wednesday. They and their friends are gathering in Montgomery for the annual meeting, which begins Wednesday morning and will continue through Thursday even ing. The candidates are Hugo L. Black of Birmingham, A. B. Tucker of Thom- asville, s. l.. Johnson of Anniston and W. T. Parker of Birmingham.
 Friends of MT. Tucker insist that the honor should go to south Alabama this year, because it was given to a north Alabama man last year, but the friends iof the other candidates are here pre- pared to make a hard fight, One report has been circulated that Col. Allen Crenshaw of the Second Alabama in- fantry will not seek to continue as a grand lodge officer and will resign as grand inner guard in order that his
 promotion to grand prelate might go to another person, but it was stated Tuesday afternoon that he would con tlnue in his position and would accept the promotion. Should he retire W. IL. Weakley of Huntsville would skip the position of grand inner guard and go from grand outer guard to grand prel- ate.
 One of the most impressive features or the opening session will be the raising of the American colors and Pythian coiors over the building of the grand lodge. Benjamin A. Taylor iof Montgomery will retire as grand chancellor Thursday and will be sue ceeded by H. l.. Gwin of Gadsden, grand vice chancellor. Each officer will be
 promoted one position as has been the custom.

waters and thus put himself in better
condition to meet the demands Which
the new work will impose upon HIM.
He was quite peeved about the r.,

about his condition, and, like MARI

account of his death, Col. Cody de,

be Oslerized and says he has several
good punches left and that he expects
to ride next summer with the new show
which will be the biggest affair on
earth.
