Of organizing the first Baptist church
In the state. 1t is said that in the
fall Of 1881 number of families met
and spread their tents near Elyton
and held the first campmeeting ever
held in Alabama. There were unusual
demonstrations among those who be-
came interested in the matter of re-
hgi0n. One who witnessed these pecu-
liar manifestations thus described
them: 1T was not unusual To have "a
large part of the congregation pros
trated upon the ground, and in some
Instances they appeared to have lost
the use Of their limbs. No distinct
articulation could he heard; screams,
cries, groans, shouts. notes of grief
and notes of joy. all heard at the

G.. Larson Slightly
Injured When Auto
Overturned Sunday

What might be considered a mi
r%aculous escape occurred about one
o'clock Sunday afternoon when the
Hudson touring, driven by Raymond
Larson, overturned on the Lincoln
highway about II miles west of Raw
Inns. Gus Larson was caught under
the car but suffered only a slight
neck' sprain. Raymond and Gordon
Larson were uninjured in the acct
dent.
The father and two sons were
driving east on the Lincoln highway
Sunday afternoon and they were
about two miles west of Daley's ranch
when the road gave way under the
car. 1t is believed that the frost
had gone out of the ground and the
water had undermined the hard sur
face on the road. The a was be-
ing run near the edge OF the road and
when the ground gave way the rear
wheel went down, the auto siddled
over sideways and backward.

DEEP GLOOM

, GERMANY NOW
Fresh Embarrassments Are
Predicted in Germany's
Foreign Policy.

BERLIN, June 6. Disgust
mingled with ridicule and gloom
characterized the sentiments of the
German official quarters over the
Allied disarmament note sent by the
Allied Commissioners. 1t is de-
clared the note is likely to produce
fresh embarrassments in Germany's
foreign relations.
The Allied note informed Germany
she must comply with the Versailles
treaty before evacuation of the Col
ogne area, suppressing the General
staff, reducing the police to 150.
900 and reducing the army to 100,-
600 Germany is also accused OF
failing in 13 conditions to comply
with the disarmament provisions of
the treaty.
President Schacht, of the Reich
bank. commenting on the Allied
note, said:
"Our nerves have Just about
reached the cracking point and un-
less the Allied and Associated Pow

BOYS PARENTS TOLD
READINESS TO FIGHT
ISINHERENT TO YOUTH

MOOSEHEART. Ill, June 6. -
Declaring that the world needs,
more than anything else. an ag
gressive, fighting attitude for the
right Mathew p Adams, a bach
elor who. as superintendent for the
great Moose home for children here,
is raising 1857 youngsters, believes
that every father should buy a set
of boxing gloves and teach his son
to take care of himself with ma
ture's weapons.
Every parent has the fighting
problem to contend with" Mr. Ad-
ans said. at is with boys from
eight to fourteen that the most trou-
BILE is experienced. According to
the cultural epoch theory of evo-
luton the child goes through ev-
cry stage that the race has exper-
fenced in its history. This means
that the eight to fourteen year old
boy is in the stage experienced by
our savage ancestors. Fighting is
natural.
Three possible attitudes may be
taken by parents. They may say
that fighting is natural and what is
natural is right. This theory quick
ly leads to absurdities, as impu-
dence, and all of the other mischief
of children is natural. To encour-
age the boy to fight is to encour-
age him to become a bully and to
develop an aggressiveness that in
latter years will injure him.
"On the other hand, the father
or the mother, may take the other
extreme and forbid all fighting
These parents see the possible phys
lical injury, but fail to see how in
