and apprcciative audience heard Bro.

his audience on the subject, Gods

the service the right hand of Chris

Black who had Joined the church by
letter. We join the members in wei
coming Bro. Black into our church
fellowship and we feel sure the good
people of Mt. Vernon feel proud to
have this good man in their midst.
In the afternoon we attended
church and Sunday-school at Tabcr-
nacle. Bro. Boner preached us an
able and interesting sermon on tith-
ing. He had very good crowd. Our
people are good church eocrs and
show appreciation at the words of the
preacher,
The ladies held their regular mis-
sionary meeting and Bro. Bonner also
announced that we would have Rev
Oliver from Tuscaloosa and Bro. W.
G. Henry from birmingham to assist
him in the meeting We do not know
Bro. Oliver, but we all know Bro.
Horny; he is one of our boys and we
all love him. We are expecting
great revival at our camp meeting

these to help US out and if you want

but we are going ahead expecting
seed time and harvest and we haven't
lost hope for you. We are still pray

Now, Uncle Johnnie, am not mad

THE USE OF POWER.

A sentence in dispatch from Wash inton says that the government is pre- rared to man and run the railroads if the nationwide strike, get for Oc- tober 30, ties up the country's trans Lortation.
 It is said that this information came from a source closely connect cd with the administration. When th1s modification is attached to infor- nation, it may be relied upon.
 Moreover Senator Cummings, of Iowa, who is believed to have the ideas of the President pretty we'll in mind on this subject, is reported tc have said that the legislative branch of the government will use every means to break the strike if it occurs He said further:
 we are not going to sit idly by and permit the economic paralysis o1 strike to cripple the nation. If an. group of men is strong enough to con trol the government and bring o1 tfe horrors of starvation and lothe fatal ills, then we have got to defend

THE TWO-PLATOON.

It is possible that the two- platoon system will be brought before the Common Council again this evening by resolution.
 It has been said that the vote in favor of adjournment at the last meeting of the Council two weeks ago, shows how the Council stands upon the matter.
 It is doubtful if this be true. Coun- cilman Gill, who made the motion to adjourn and those who voted for the adjournment, may not have had the merits of the question in mind at all; nor may all of them be set down as against the plan. Most of the members of the Council were anxious to adjourn and put an end to the discussion-to call it by nc worse a name-that was taking place Give those all credit. Give every member who was disgusted with the | proceedings that were taking place the credit of being ashamed of them Much that was out of order vent on | Always, after such a meeting, thu same hope is expressed, that another | of the same character may never be witnessed. But the same thing comes up several times each year.
 It might be unwise to bring thu resolution at this time. It is now { question whether or not it would b, passed owing to the financial position members of the Council find the peo pie to be in, and owing to the fac that the Council members might no properly represent the sentiments O the people should they pass it.
 But it is submitted that the teelin ] of the Common Council may not b

group of the Railway Labor Board outlined the plan set forth by the pub lie group at the White House and there. are signs that this will be the basis for the program to be set be- fore the conference on Thursday. The features of this plan are:
 1. The employees to call off the strike action, temporarily at least.
 2. The carriers to withdraw their statements that they would seek an- other 10 per cent. wage cut.
 8. The carriers to cut freight rates under direction of the Interstate con- merce commission to absorb most of the $400,O00,00O annual savings ef- fected by the July wage reduction.
 4. The theory that this would stim- u1ate business and reduce the cost of living, the roads at their discretion might ask for further wage reductions as living costs fell.
