Birmingham, Ala., May 21.—"In two decades a race war will astound the wbrld unless something Is done. "We're living on the crest of a vol cano, and even now the fire and roar of the caldron below. Is beginning ttf burst forth." These were the climaxes of two great speeches that were delivered before tho Presbyterian general assembly last night on the race problem. Then came the answer, “Man's ex tremity la God’s opportunity. The Bible and the grace of God will save us." It was a meeting with the promise of Jesuits which nun have mu. li to do with the solving of the race ques tion in the South, that was addressed by Judge W. C. Wells, of- Jackson. Miss., the Rev. Egbert Smith, of Louis* vllle, Ky., tho Rev. D. C. Lilly, of Win. ston, N. C., Rev. J. G. Snedecor, of Tus caloosa, ahd the voice of the negro ap pealing for his own people, the Rev. C. H. Champney, of Montgomery, a com mlssloner from the colored presbytery of Alabama. "We know, as you do," said the ne gro, "that there la a crisis coming, but God Is above us, and with your help we can tide It over, and God's kingdom will be glorified."

When the minority and majority re ports were submitted to the general assembly on the adoption of the Char lotte agreement, It was agreed to allow' each side two and one-half hours to present their care. After that the speeches on the subject mnst be con lined to five minutes. The majority re port of the committee favored the adoption of the articles. The speak- ert« of the afternoon were the Rev. F. T. Glascow, from the Lexington pres bytery, against the articles, and the Rev. J. 8. Lyons, of Louisville, Ky., In favor of the adoption. One of the most Impressive state ments of the afternoon was that of Rev. Mr. Lyons, when ho said: "If God Is leading His church to organic union such an opportunity for meeting eye to eye as this council furnishes will allow us to ascertain It and will make It easy for us to safely proceed. If, on the other hand. It Is plain that God la not lending us together we will be In n position where we will suffer no com promise and from which we edn recede without* harm. “The church should stand at atten tlon before her great Captain.

The North Georgia Electric Company has come again, and once more It ap pears that Atlanta will have real live competition In lighting. When the bids for the street lighting of Atlanta were opened and* it was found that \he North Georgia had bid higher than the Georgia Railway and Electric Company—In fact, had bid about aa high as the franchise would permit—a great sigh went up, and all hope for competition seemed to have gone a-gUmmerlng. Whether for this reason or for some other Is npt known, but shortly after this, the directors of the North Georgia held what was termed the “annual meotlng.” None of the directors or of ficials gave out anything that was done at this session. Now It Is learned that the North Georgia perfected almost a complete reorganization at this meeting. Gen eral A. J. Warner, of Gainesville, who was the guiding spirit of the enterprise, nnd who had been president of the company, was no longer president when the directors adjourned. Instead. D. W. Stewart, of Xenfo, Ohio, was chosen as the official head of the company. The real reins of execu tive authority. It was agreed upon, should he held by W. A. Carlisle, of Gainesville, who waa re-elected vice president. W. H. Slack, of Gainesville, was chosen a» the new secretary. All of this has been kept quiet anil the officials have been at work for somo time on a plan or plans whereby they propose to complete their lines and a< - tlvely compete with the Georgia Rail- ay and Electric Company. Not only this, but there Is yet, some likelihood of tho company, once on Its feet, making another bid for the city's lighting. "Take this from tne,” stated a ci!v ffi< la I. who has watched the succes- lon «»f events with no llttlr* Interest. The North Georgia Electric Company mends to do business In Atlanta.

After the attempted assault, the news was spread quickly. A posse of citizens was formed and traced the negro to the home of his father, some distance away.

MAN AND WIFE DROWN; BOAT CAPSIZES IN CANAL Augusta, Ga.. May fl!.—Harold T. Anderson and his wife, Mrs. Louise Anderson, were drowned In the canal locks, seven miles above the city, this afternoon. Tho canal Is being dragged for the bodies. The couple were with a party of prominent people who were riding down the canal In a small steam launch. Just before entering the Savannah river they undertook to make a short turn up stream, when the boat was capsized by the swift current. The four other occupants, one of whom was a lady, swam to the shore. Neither Mr. Anderson nor his wife could swim. 7HE PIEDMONT REGION AND I7S POSSIBILITIES Dr. Frank Kenneth Cameron, of the United Stntea bureau of aolla, who haa bren In charae of chemical and phynlca!

Cooper, of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, In an add reel at the Georgia Tech, are given here: "If It were poealble to build a Chtneae wall about nny one section Of America, or even of the world, It can be aafety said that the Piedmont plateau, with Its range of climate and soil type,, together with tta natural mineral and power resource,, would be better able to sustain itself than any other known area of the civilized world. “This section la already a fairly rich one agriculturally, and the In vestigation of tho bureau of-aolla haa Indicated that there I, no other section ao susceptible of great Increase In agricultural development eco nomically us the Piedmont plateau.’ Tke Ceorclaa records here each .l.y w*. ^tmomic fact In r.fcr.ov# to to. oawaro notch of the Louth. ■Y JOSEPH B.

The remarkable activity which has prevailed during the past several years In Ihn erection of business and residence property. Illustrates In a convincing mnnner the growth and material development of the city. Since 1502 there have been erected 105 business houses and 1,359 dwellings, at a coat of over five millions of dollars. This continued a. - tlvlty In the construction of new buildings haa not been occasioned by speculation In real estate, but la the natural and logical reault of the expansion of the city’s Industrial and manufacturing Interests and the steady Influx of new population. In 1501 the aeaeeeed valuation of real and personal property waa 210.- 054.000; In 1904. the sum of >11,140,000; the levy for 1903 waa on a valu ation of 514.500,000, and that of 1504, on the sum of 117.590,OOd. The Im provements made since the 1904 levy will easily bring these figure, up to 920,000,001^ not Including school, municipal or church property of any description. ^ The bonded Indebtedness of Roanoke la only tt.051.000. an amount allghtly In exceaa nf one-half what the city would be authorised to l.sue on the basis of the present assessed property valuation. The average rate of Interest on all outstanding bonds Issued by the city Is little less than 4.5 per cent. ' . Perhaps no better criterion can be cited as an evidence of the general prosperity prevailing In this city than a comparison of the state ments of Roanoke’s banking Institutions January 1, 1907. with their state ments Issued one year prior.
