LETTERS TO EDITOR
Fly Prevention

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I have seen quite a lot in your paper regarding swatting the fly. If you will allow me small space I will give your readers my experience and tell how to stop their breeding. I have tried this plan for many years and found it suc- cessful.
 Where one has a COW or horse stable it is the greatest breeding place for flies. Take some chicken scratch feed and sprinkle it over the floor of the stable, take hay fork and pile the fer tilizer up in the center of the stable and let your chickens into the stable. They will scratch this pile down flat hunting for the feed and eat the little worm that makes the fly. Also by following this plan I pulverize the fertilizer to use on my garden. This keeps it from heating and burning, as 1t will do when left un- molested to pack in the stables. Farmers with truck gardens should try this plan, and they will always continue the proc ess. C. H. DOZIER.

Motion to quash the indictments against Charlie Milligan and William E. Neville, charged with the murder of John Bivens, was presented to Judge William E. Fort in the criminal division of the circuit court yesterday afternoon by John Altman, attorney for the defendants.
 Ihls motion was made on the ground that the indictments served on the de- fendants were not correct copies. in that the name of Bivens was spelled differ ently in the various counts of the indict- nelts. It will be heard this morning at 9:30 o'clock
 QUESTIONS VENIRE
 Motion to quash the venire on the grounds that the jury was improperly drawn was also filed and was passed until this morning as the deputy clerks of the criminal division of the court had gone when called to testify as to the manner in which the venire was drawn. MT. Altman made sensational allega- tons ln q motion presented asking for a continuance of the case.

At a meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Gulf States Steel com pany held in New York yesterday James Bowron, veteran iron and steel manufacturer, retired from the presi- dency of that company, but accepted the chairmanship of the board, thus remaining advisory head of the cor poration.
 Chas. A. Moffett. vice president and general manager, was elected president in MT. Bowron's place and will remain general manager.
 MT. Bowron's retirement from active executive duties is due to his advanced age and his own choice in the mat ter. He has served the iron and steel interests of-the south for 54 years, in active harness all that time
 MIR. MOFFETT'S RISE
 MT. Moffett has steadily risen in the iron world. For some time he was With the Republic Iron and Steel conn pany. In 1909 he was chief engin- ger of the Southern Iron and Steel com pany and remained with the reorgan- lzed company, which in 1913 became the Gulf States Steel. Under his gen eral managership the works of the lat ter company have been enlarged and improved and are now in the pink of physical condition. MT. Moffett has been especially successful as a handler of men.
 MT. Bowron who now retires from executive duties, was born at Stock ton Tree in England in 1S44, and his flrst work was that of office boy in a glass works partly owned by his father. The senior Bowron and oth-d CTS became interested in the Southern states Coal Iron and Land company in south Tennessee and in 1877 MT Bowron came there as personal rep resentative of his father, who died that year. The younger Bowren remained Tn this country and, when the Eng fish properties became merged with the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad com pany in 1882 he was elected treasurer. In 1896 he was elected vice president and served as head of the company ow- ing to the residence of the president, Nat Baxter Jr, in Nashville.
 MT. Bowron resigned in 1901 follow ing differences as to company poli- cies and became interested in other iron and steel industries.
 SOLE RECEIVER
 In 1910 MT. Bowron became associat- NN " i.f eHc pVutieIH 1fou ana steel and was its sole receiver during the period Of reorganization. Inf 1913 he became president of the Gulf States Steel, the reorganized company, and has re- mained such ever since.
 In his management of the properties of the Gulf States Steel Mir. Bowrou has succeeded in welding a compact steel producing concern of the most modern type and transmits to young CT hands one of the marked achieve ments of his more than 50 years of service in the industrial south
 MT. Moffett's associates in the iron and steel business will not be sur prised to hear of his promotion.

Packer Memorial church ranks with mingham district when it comes to growth and progress. Rev. w. H. Gregory is the pastor.
 The services for the city wide Bap- tist revival campaign are being con- ducted by H. T. Stevens
 Large crowds are attending the eve ming services at this church and much
 interest is being manifested in the meeting. Forceful sermons are being preached by the evangelist and an interesting musical programme is ar ranged for each service by S. J. Smith of Quinton.
 This church grew out of a mission school, which was conducted in the private homes of thIs community in the summer of 1899. Dr. Walter B. Brown, superintendent of mission, and Rev. Hunter of South Avondale were factors in the planting of this work. Dr. Brown secured from Mrs. Packer of New York an offer of 50 per cent for church building a year later. The association and individuals ac- cepted. and the present church was built in 1900, which assumed the name in memory of Mrs. Packer.
 All these years the work has grown and thrived. During the pastorate Of Rev. Gregory the church building has been repainted inside and out a DOT tion has been reseated, three Sunday school rooms have been added and Eew balcony has been placed in the main auditorium. This largely in creases the seating capacity of the building and adds much to the beauty of the structure. The pastors salary has been doubled, as has the church's l.ota for the S75,000000 campaign, and there have been 96 additions to the church. The motto of this thriving church is. "Forward,' and it is car rying it out in every respect
