WALL, Editor and Publisher VERNON, LAMAR CO, ALA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1887 Vol. II, No. 23 PAGE 1 THE COURIER ONE DOLLAR A YEAR SPURGEON WITHDRAWS FROM THE BAPTIST Mr. Spurgeon has withdrawn from the Baptist union. It announcing his decision to withdraw and replying to his critics, he says “To pursue union at the expense of the truth is treason to Jesus:” To tamper with his doctrine is to become traitors to him. We have before us the wretched spectacle of professedly orthodox Christians publicly avowing union with those who deny the faith, call the fall of man a fable, and deny the personality of the Holy Ghost.” Replying to the question why he does not start a new denomination, he says that it is a question for which he has no liking; that there are enough denominations already, and, that if another were formed, the thieves and robbers who have entered the other gardens walled around, would enter it also so nothing could be done. Baptists generally regret Mr. Spurgeon’s decision, and are urging him to reconsider it. – [Memphis Appeal] DEVOURED BY SHARKS – James F. Hamilton , the mail carrier between Miami and Lake Worth on the south Atlantic coast, was devoured by a man-eating shark at Hillsboro Inlet Tuesday……… The editor of the Nashville American who has been giving the news on both sides of the Candler-Emma Abbot episode and dodging the fights says: …………. Memphis Appeal: Does prohibition prohibit? Is a question current nowadays in every quarter……… President Hungerlord, of the Warrior Coal Fields Road, made the following statement in Birmingham the other day: We have even more than ample means to push the road to completion as fast as can be done with economy. This road will develop the Western portion of the Warrior Coal field basin, and will have as a market for its coal all the gulf west, from Pensacola to Galveston. Meridian will be the distributing point, and we expect to complete the Warrior Coal Fields Road, a distance of 218 miles, within twenty or twenty-two months at farthest. On the line of the road, and near where the Kansas City road crosses, there are three large companies already organized. They own over 656,000 acres of the finest coal for coking purposed in the Warrior basin. The supply is limitless. The Sipsey Valley Land, Mining and Manufacturing C., the Bankhead, Pollock & Co., Lime and Coal Co., and the Marion Co. Land and Coal Co., are the companies. The Warrior Coal Fields Road will be the transportation of the coal for the gulf coast consumption, the demand for which is equal to 1,500,000 tons per annum, and rapidly increasing. It will also develop the immense beds of lammite ore, lately discovered in the vicinity of Enterprise, Miss. by furnishing the furnaces cheap fuel to smelt them. These are the only beds of the kind yet discovered in the United States. With the Kansas City Road and the completion of the Warrior Coal Fields Road, these coal fields will soon be developed and brought into prominence.
