While reports from over the state yes terday were frsgmentary and filtered in slowly, incomplete returns in the Bap- tist S75,OOO,Ooo campaign from 50 out of 72 associations n Alabama indicated that the SS,0O00,0o0 mark had been attained.
 Another $l,o0e,cO0 is needed to complete the Alabama quCta of S4,O00,000.
 Campaign leaders in Birmingham last night were confident the quota would be exceeded and pr. J. R. Hobbs, pastor of the First Baptist church, expressed his belief that $5,ot00O0 or S1,000,GO0 over the quota, would be subscribed when the drive ends next Sunday.
 The Birmingham association has re- ported S7S6,S65 with 30 more churches, out of total 79, yet to send in their results.
 There now is sufficient in sight to tilt the Birmingham total to $S12 900, and this may be increased to something near s900,- 000 The more optimistic of the Baptist cam paigners continue confident in their hope that the local association will re- port a round s1 1.0o0,oo0 by next Sunday.
 Sufficient returns were in last night from the Birmingham association to show that it has lead the entire state, and based upon percentage of membership it is believed it will lead the entire south.

ALI CLASSES
Of TRADE At
FUEL MEETING
Retailers Affected by Orders Mako
Plea to Have Their Expenses
Loesened.

Representatives from every kind
OF retail business affected BY the
fuel conservation orders were gath
cred In the lobby and rooms OF the
Rock Island club this noon when
the fuel COMMITTEES went into ses-
sion, seeking TO get . hearing for
their individual cases. There was
Q crowd totaling ct least q hundred
there from 1880 until late In the
afternooh.
The. butcher, the baker, the pool
room keeper, the cigar store man,
the grocer, the confectioner, the Ice
cream parlor proprietor. all were
there Organized labor was largely
represented by heads Of unions and
other leading men. The ministers
Of churches were there, with suE-
gestions. petitions and hearings on
Erisvanc4 to put before the COM
mittee. It dawned upon the by
stsnder that the fuel orders hit .
largo portion Of the population
directly.
Lest the consideration that sub
stations Of the postoffice being OPP
Grated in retail stores should be
used - an argument by them to
remain open, the postmaster. H. P,
Simpson, notified all such places
that the postal station must be
closed together with their business
at the time set BY the committee.
The big point urged before the
meeting by most Of the retail men
was that while their places Of busi-
ness are closed they are losing the
business which would otherwise
come to them at that time, but
which they are willing y sacrifice,
II in the meantime they do not have
to pay for heat they are not using.
They represented this as being q
big financial difficulty to them,
which, they are unable to escape
because Of contracts with landlords.
The committee promises to use
every effort to adjust the situation
the best way possible, but with the
admonition that the present plan
was the most effective they are able
to formulate at the present time
The meeting continued until late
in the afternoon, more than 4 dozen
audiences being give1 the trade
