Greater knowledge of the Bible grew in
England until finally every church in
the country had its own Bible and peO-

religious progress to America as the

the Maytlower and told how the Bible
became the schoOlmaster of the people

Lincoln and other great leaders.
More Education Needed.
He concluded his speech by declaring
that more education is needed today to
social situations. He further
that the need of this cOun-

but the exempliicatiOn of the ideal of
brotherhood as set forth in
the Bible. He quoted the opinion of

BUDGET SYSTEM
 SHER|FF'S OFFICE
Operation of Sheriff's Depart ment Must Stay Within h.
 come, States Board

Salaries for the sheriffs department will be taken up by the board of reve- nue at it's meeting this morning at 10 o'clock. This matter was brought up at the time the salaries of other county employees were fixed but was passed until later date. It is stated by members of the board that the sa- ed down regarding the authority of the county to furnish automobiles for county employees in the discharge of their duties, ruled that each depart ment must be operated within it's in- come.
 The fact that the system of the coun ty has been changed from fee to salary basis results in the sheriff's depart ment being operated at a deficit of about $S0,000 during the present ad- ministration, it is stated. This Is due to the large number of fees being col lected by the present administration for former sheriffs, it being pointed out that the costs are never paid in a case until it is finally settled.
 Under the proposed plan of members of the board of revenue this depart ment will be put on budget system and the sheriff will be required to keep the expenses of operating his depart ment within 1t. Just what the amount allowed him for a year has not yst been decided, but action on this mat ter will be taken at the meeting of the board today, it is believed.
 President D. c. Ball, who has been in Montgomery for the past two days, is expected to have some report to make regarding the county bonds.

TOO EARLY ID START
 ACTIVE CAMP PA|GN r OR CITY OFFICES
Commissioner BurruSS States Political Fight Now Would Be UnWise-DefineS
 Position

Active opening of the municipal election campaign is not anticipated at the present time by any of the in cumbents, according to information at the city hall yesterday. All the com missioners were of the opinion that it is about 90 days too early to open the race.
 H. r. Burruss. whose announcement of his intention to run against' Dr. N. A. Barrett for the presidency of the commission came Wednesday, declared yesterday no active campaign was planned by him until June l.
 "Of course. I will qualify, as re- quired by law, and plan my campaign in an incidental way, but precipita- tion of the city commission into a po- litical fight right now would be un- wise, I feel" said MT Burruss yester- day afternoon. T feel as do the other commissioners that the campaign should not start until about June l.
 My purpose in announcing at what I believe the most opportune time was to allow persons who might wish to enter the race for the portfolio now held by me as commissioner of public improvements. Then too, I felt the time has come when the people should be given a chance to think the matter over and begin to form their opinions.
 There was no intent at criticism of the work of my colleagues in the state. ment issued by me Wednesday. The president of the commission should naturally know somewhat of the vari- ous departments of the city govern ment and my idea was merely to vis- ualize the things I think a growing Birmingham will need in these differ ent branches"
 Other members of the commission, plainly adverse to opening the cam paign at this time, would not discuss the matter to any extent. All seemed of the opinion that three months later would give plenty of time to lay all the facts before the people.
 Bees began buzzing louder in the bonnets of several aspirants for com mission seats yesterday. Among those frequently mentioned for positions in the race were Mrs. D. A. Echols of Ensiey, W. B. Cloe, former member of the board of revenue; Ira Randall W. l.. Harrison and Mrs. B. "A. Cooper, Fountain Heights.
