and success of this, Cordeles most
wonderful Revival. yea the greatest
genuine revival of south Georgia if
not in the entire south.
The singing of the "old time Song"
was great contributor to the spiritual
fervor of the meeting. The old songs
were caught up by the vast throng of
1900 people each evening and the
gospel contained in them produced
conviction in the hearts of both
back-sliders and sinners.
The large chorus of men and wo-
men was an inspiring sight and
contributed very largely to the sue.
cess of the music.
The presentation of the simple
Gospel was the most Powerful weap-
on of any used. The Evangelist stress
ed Gods word as "The Power of God
unto salvation unto every one thai
believeth." The Preacher would have
verse of scripture read again and
again it dozen times to rivit the
truth on the hearts of his hearers.

factor in the meeting. In the very

men and women from every church in
Cordele were present and took some

Of this beautiful spirit much personal
work was done in the homes, on the
streets, and in the offices of the city.
Men by the. dozens were seen plead

to God and cOnfers Him before men.
The fOrreaching results of the meet

observations are made here to show
the trend of the meeting. Person from
9 to so years of age were converted,
men wha had lost their Christ affilia-

church life. People who had held

German is not enthusiastic over the
amount of food he is likely to get
under the provision agreement with
the allies. This is shown particularly
after newspapers have reduced the

Estimates as presented on the
present population basis means the
allotment will be a half pound of
flour and one-tenth of pound of fats
per day, according to the papers.

BILL PROVIDES STATE AID FOR HARBOR

Montgomery, August 1. Special ) State aid in the construction of better harbor facilities at Alabana's only port town-Mobfle-is suggested in a bill in- troduced in the senate Friday by Sena- tor Craft of Mobile county. It is under stood a similar bill was ready for pre- sentation to the house, but considera- tion of the revenue bill could not be interfered with to permit introduction of bflfs
 The bill carries out the idea expressed by Governor Kilby when he delivered his inaugural address in Montgomery in January. He believed that the state should permit the expenditure of money in making better the facilities for the shipment to and fpom other countries of Alabama products.
 The caption of the bin follows:
 '~To submit to the qualified voters of the state an amendment to section sS of the constitution of the state of Ala ba1na whereby the state may engage in works of internal improvement and lend its money or credit in aid of same, pro- vided that such improvements be and remain state property to be managed and controlled by the state such public agency as the legislature may prescribe and borbidding such assistance to pri- vate or corporate enterprises" The bill was referred to the committee on con stitution and constitutional revisons and amendments.

TO HEAR DISCUSSIONS
 OF CRAFT COMMISSION BILL

Montgomery, August I-CSpeciaD-At a public meeting on Monday night the sen- ate committee on municipalities and mu- mcipal organizations will hear discus sions of the Craft enlarged commission bill, which has been before the com mltteee for several days. Opponents of the measure, including the present mav- or. MT. Crawford, w. H. Reynolds, of the Chamber of Commerce. and others. have been invited to attend the meeting and discuss the bill, which will provide Tor the election of a mayor and a com missioner from each city ward
 The discussion will be on a substitute to the original bill The committee ruled several days ago that the original bill would apply to all cities in Alabama, and the bill was held up pending the drawing up of substitute, making it ap- plicable only to Mobile City.
 Senator Mills, member of the com mittee late Friday denied that he had said that he would vote against a fav- orable report of the substitute He said. however, that the committee would not be doing the just thing to report the substitute without first giving the Mo- bile delegation, and those representing the present commission an opportunity to state their objections
 The only material change in the bill. with the exception of that making it ap- plicabie to Mobile only is a section which provides that when the bill finally is enacted and signed by the governor. thir. ty-three and one third per cent of the qualified voters of Mobile may sign a petition with the probate judge, askins for an election to decide whether or not they prefer the present system or the one provided for in the bill The majority will rule in the election

RACE RIOTS SUBJECT
 OF RESOLUTION

Montgomery, August 1--(SpeciaD- rioting in Chicago and Washington is the subject of a. joint resolution intro duced in the House of Representative Friday, by MT. Dickson, of Jefferson county. The resolution was adopted under the suspension of rules, and later was adopted in the senate. The reso- luton follows
 T. That the legislature of Alabama views with much concern the highly dis ordered condition of various communities in the north and the middle west, par ticuiarly as evidenced by the race riots takin place in the cities of Washington and Chicago, in which there was large loss of life and property.
 ''2 That the apparent hatred which exists between the races in these com munities is to be deeply deplored, and the sympathy of the United States is extended the conservative and law-abid ing citizens of these sections, and who are believed to be wholly out of sym pathy with such a condition.
 ''S. That the people of this state be- heve that the political and business lead CTS of these sections ought to be ani- mated by better spirit of fraternity and high mindedress and fair dealing in their conduct toward the large number of colored people which have migrated into their midst
 "A. It is believed that if these leaders and the people of those states generally were prompted moro by human consid- erations and sense of justice, which would manifest themselves in practical way rather than in a course of conduct based on purely idealistic and theoret- ical conditions, a better spirit would prevail.
 5. That as an example of a nearly ideal approach to cordial and friendly relations they are referred to the fine spirit Of mutual understanding which ex- ists between the races, in the South"
