Having completed their trip of educa- ton over the district Sunday, speakers sent out by the local headquarters of the United Mine Workers of America report ed yesterday to J. R. Kennamer, presi- dent of District 20, that sentiment is growing among miners of the district in favor of enforcing their demands for the Garfield order. The operators on the other hand contend that the miners in many cases are not living up to the agreement.
 It was further stated that national of f1cers of the United Mine Workers were en route to Birmingham and that they would arrive last night to participate in the plans to bring about an enforcement of the Garfield agreement.
 The situation, while serious is not as bad as it would seem on its face. ac- cording to those in a position to know, as 1t was understood yesterday that the Tennessee company secured more coal from it's mines yesterday than it did Saturday.
 Several more of the mines of other companies were yesterday said to have experienced a falling off in coal produc- tion, and 1t was evident that at certain mines the men were not inclined to work full time, and in several cases they are idle entirely.
 A clash at Blocton wss reported yester- day when, 1t is said, a guard fired upon a negro miner. This had no special significance, however, as nothing serious followed. This information was received at miners headquarters in this city.

The Howard college campaign workers reported s27f7.50 at the luncheon yester- day in the ballroom of the Tutwiler hotel making the grand total up to date of S5S,7H H.8. While there was no report from Bessemer yesterday, it was stated that the committees there had raised practi- cally s7o0o, which will bring, the pres ent total to the s65.000 mark
 A feature of the luncheon was the splendid talk made by Charles Edward Russell. which was greatly enjoyed by every person present. Mir. Russell was introduced by Frank Willis Barnett and while his talk was short, it was very pointed, and he urged the citizens of the United States to wake up to the fact that the country was at war and the prosecu- ton of this war was the sole business of the government at the present time.
 The American people were very slow in preparing for this conflict, just as the people of Europe had been and com plained when they were asked to deny themselves a few luxuries to which they were accustomed. This is time for sacrifices, and the sacrifices we make are nothing compared to those being made by eur soldiers in the trenches, many of whom will give their lives for de- mocracy," said MT. Russell. and he was loudly cheered and applauded by the workers who were most enthusiastic over his talk.
 John Sparrow was called on, and he made delightful talk in the interest of the campaign to raise s150,0o0 for Howard college. assuring the teams that with the added enthusiasm displayed by

Man Who Made Folk Coming
 to Birmingham to Lecture

"A preacher with sand" who wanted to know how 5000 bills came into the possession of men who could not earn them honestly. started a clean-up in a state capital that resulted in the cleo ton of reform governor.
 The preacher was Crayton s. Brooks who is coming to Birmingham tomorrow to begin series Of evangelistic serv- ices at the First Christian church. The capital which was thoroughly cleaned was Jefferson City, Mo-, and the gov ernor who was elected was Joseph w.. Folk
 The story of the way Dr. Brooks cleaned up the city when he went there as minister in one of the churches was told today in Birmingham by P. E. Cheek.
 When MT. Brooks went to Jefferson City" he said The found five gambling houses and 19 saloons running without needing the law. He was stirred by what he saw and prepared a sermon on The Morals of Mssouris Capital.
 "A St. Louis paper got wind of the sermon and sent orders to it's corre- spondent to investigate, Articles that appeared in the paper packed the church at the time of the sermon. The mayor ragged. but bowed to public sentiment and in two weeks not a gambling room was left and not a saloon was open on Sunday.
 .Then MT. Brooks went after the moral conditions of the city and asked the question about the s1ooo bills. AL though an investigation was blocked by the state representatives, standing on their constitutional privileges, grand jury investigation followed the legisla- tures adjournment, and Joseph Folk, then prosecuting attorney of St. Louis county, was called in. He had uncov- cred vast system of corruption in St. Louis Indictments were brought against
