BAPTIST CENSUS
 REVEALS SURPRISE
Church Census Taken Yester- day Gives Good Results.
 Census Next Sunday

The Birmingham Baptist association, comprising Jefferson county, is put ting on a census to discover the un- identified Baptists and Baptist inclined
 ii. the entire territory. The census will be taken next Sunday, November '. Thirty-f five thousand cards have already been sent out to the different churches for this census. One church has already taken it's census, Rev. J. e. Hill, pastor of the East Birming- ham. Some of the most surprising facts have been revealed. First, there are more members of other Baptist churches in his territory than are in his church and counting these with those inclined to the Baptist faith there are three times the number in his church.
 When asked the result of the cam paign in this church, >Dr. F. H. Far rington, superintendent of missions, said it was simply wonderful First, the church members could hardly be- lieve the figures put on the board and next. not only the teams who secured tEe information agreed to go out anc try to enlist those people but even those who had taken no part in the census agreed to do all in their power te. this end. And a revival has come upon the church. They asked thelr pastor If he wouldn't preach and bring the people in that they might join the church and Sunday school.
 Already large numbers have joined the church as a result of that cam paign Dr. Harrington says that a great deal, possibly the greater part Of the credit for the success of the work i,; due to the pastor MT. Hill.

greater. MT. Nesbitt predicts that the
 present charge for handling the freight
 between Birmingham and the Port of Birmingham can be reduced At ths time 45 per cent of the total rate from Birmingham to Mobile and New Orleans goes to the railroad which hauls the freight from this city to the river. Adequate terminal facilities at the Port of Birmingham and better trans
 portation facilities from this city to the
 Warrior will make this greater saving a
 reality, in the opinion of MT. Nesbitt.
 It is to allow the people of Jefferson
 county the right to provide these facili- ties, if they so desire, that the second amendment, known as the county river
 amendment, is to be voted on tomorrow. Mir. Nesbitt outlines the unlimited pos ! abilities of the use of the Warrior and the effect it will have on the future growth and development of this district and the surrounding sections. Improve ments at the Port of Birmingham must follow as a natural consequence. the in creased business which will come with , the improvements of the port of Mobile, he says.
 lNCkEASE DhAFI
 The government now has work under way to increase the draft of the War rior river from six feet to eight feet, and as soon as that is done, ocean-goins barges will ply between the Port of Bir- mingham and Cuba and Mexico, says MT.
 Nesbitt.
 Another important item in connection
 with the improvements contemplated in
 the future at the Port of Birmingham
 is the fact that when large volumes of
 freight come here to. use the river all empty at the river will be immediately
 available for Birmingham shippers, thus relieving the overcoming car shortage. '"rhe mouth of the Alabama river at
 Mobile bay is the front door through which Alabama's outbound and inbound tonnage and the tonnage of practically all of the territory embraced in the
 Mississippi river and Ohio river business
 can pass in international commerce and trade between this great interior section and the east and west coasts of North America said MT. Nesbitt
 ''In order that the tonnage embraced in this commerce may be advantageously and economically handled and encour- aged to use this gateway of ours it is absolutely necessary that proper storage, terminal and transfer facilities be built and the gateway, otherWlse uSaple oHis
 in small way, be equipped so as to provide facilities commensurate with the possibilities of it's development

MAKING SERIOUS MISTAKE

S..W. Hawkins, members of the legisia- ture from Jefferson county, said 'l think that Mir. Copeland is making a
 most serious mistake in his position on splitting the democratic ticket He is ] candidate himself and expects to receive votes from the hands of the democrats That being the case. he should stay with the democratic party to the finish. II he cannot support the nominees he should not expect the support of the party that is backing him.
 There is no foundation to all of this talk about Jerry Gwin, anyhow. They have never proven thing against him and cannot do so. For my part I shall
 most emphatcally vote the democratic ticket straight. Should there by any
 deviation at all, people should scratch MT. Copeland's name for making such suggestion,''

C0peland's Action in BottIing Democratic Nominee Sub- iect of Widespread Com ment Yesterday - Party Regularity Urged

Jerry Gwin's reply to w. B. Copeland's statement that he will split the democratic ticket and not vote for Gwin, is that he will vote the democratic ticket straight from top to bottom, ssincluding a vote for MT. Cope i. land"
 "For myself,- said statement
 issued by MT. Gwin yesterday, "I
 desire to say that I am going to
 make one mark under the demo-
 cratic emblem. 9.thc rooster" which
 means a vote for every man on
 the ticket. including MT. Copeland.
 @I regret very much that MT.
 Copeland at this late day in life
 sees fit to desert the democratic
 party's nominees, but that is a mat
 ter for him and his own conscience.
 Whether he votes straight
 ticket or scratches, I am going to
 stand by my pledge to tine party
 that nominated me.
 When l went before the secretary of the Jefferson county democratic ex- ecutive committee I took the following obligation:
 Democratic executive committee; state of Alabama, Jerrerson county. |, Jerry Gwin, q candidate for board of revenue, hereby pledge myself to sup port the nominees of the democratic primary to be held May H. 1890. tSigned) Jerry Gwin.'
 'To me this pledge is sacred. Every other candidate on the democratic } ticket took the same obligation, in- eluding Mir W. B. Copeland"
 N. CAUSES SENSATION
 Mir Gopeland's statement publishe ed in The Age Herald yesterday. created small sensation in county politics and was the subject of widespread comment.
 number of well known democrats were asked for their views on MT Copeland's attitude.
 Frank Address, local attorney. says that about the worst thing that he can think of that candidate can do is to bolt his party, and that the peo- pie should show their disapproval of such candidate by not paying the slightest attention to him. T think that either Mr. Copeland is kaboring under a false impression or Alse some one has ,misled him into be- ewing that the republican candidate Eas going to be elected and he wanted to be on the winning side" said Mir. Andress.
 T have always voted the democratic ticket at every election and I shall all ways continue to do so. That is the duty of every man in the south. too snd after having voted a straigh, democratic ticket they should turn against any man whom they nominate and who says that he will not back up the democratic party as whole"
