TEARING DOWN DAY
 AT ALA. STATE FAIR,
 EXHIBITS RETURNED

Yesterday was tearing-down day at the Alabama State Fairgrounds, and fir officials were busy until late last night checking over the exhibits and preparing to return them to owners.
 The colony of tents which composed the Johnny J. Jones Shows and the concessions had disappeared early yesterday morning with that magic with which show people fold their tents and steal away. The special train carrying the shows left in the morning on its way to the next two towns where they play. The show will be spit and half go to Troy and the other half to LaGrange, Ga.
 The grounds of the fair were de- serted looking yesterday, following the large crowds which had thronged them during the past week.
 Plans will begin immediately for the fair next year. according to the fair officials, who are determined that 1t will be even better than the one this season. Several new build ines will be constructed during the coming year, and other features added.

| sincere In their opposition to the great evils which have been outlawed In thls country. It has been often a tragedy that many of our zeaalous reformers have persisted in regarding as enemies of righteousness those who differed with their method of curing the evil. Such narrow minded ness is sometimes a worse hindrancs to success in reform movements than the opposition of evil men.
 Let us always remember that the
 wrath of man does not work the pleasure of God. It is SO human a thing to let ones hatred of evil de7
 generate into a hatred If evil -doers.
 that we need be most careful as Christians not to fall into this fatal snare. Fer it is fatal to us In our work of saving lost men.
 Tt will hearten us tN always re- member that our side is victorious. Resistance to evil in a calm and god ly conviction means it's defeat. We make many blunders and mistakes in our methods of fighting, but the fight itself is a glorious piece of wisdom
 We make a great mistake in thinking a temporary defeat makes any seri- ous difference. Let us go on know ing that with patience and love ana courage we may turn all good peo- pie to our cause, and best of all, we may turn the conscience of the slnncr against his own sin. Mistaken and immature measures of correction will inevitably fail, but better and more effectua. measures will come again.
