moval From Them-Bell the Same
Man Who Preached on the Streets
OF Savannah a Year A9o-A Crowd
Follows him From the Harnett House
TO the Depot.
The Liberty county Emmanuel Will
hardly lead his 800 chosen followers into
Canaan next month as he promised them
he would, and they will have to wait
awhile for the "kyarn load Of wings that
their leader told them be had ordered TO
help them fly into the land flowing with
milk and honey.
Sheriff Smith arrived in the city from
Hinssyille yesterday noon with the false
Christ on their way to MiIledgeville. They
stopped at the Harnett house and we're
assigned to a room fronting on Bryan street.
The new Christ, as he calls himself, had his
Bible with him, ana has lived in
an air % such wild excitement among
the negroes of Liberty county, and
the mental strain has been 50 great on his
diseased mind that he did not look as physi-
cally strong as when a MORNING News re-
porter interviewed him in this city about a
year ago.
Bell, for that is the mans name, wears a
sad and pre-occupied expression, and while
at the Harnett house talked very little, but
chung TO his Bible as If it were all that stood
between him and some impending
danger. Dinner was served to him in
his room. and later in the afternoon the
sheriff permitted few friends to visit the
room and take look at the man. The

Liberty county evangelist was at the hotel,

out to crowds of colored people, who
blocked the street and craned their necks
for view Of the strange character, but he
did not show himself TO the crowd below.

so that she will be ready for sea within six
weeks or two months from the time Of the
launch.
Maj Belknap said that Miss Moore, the
charming daughter of member of the
wholesale and retail dry goods firm of Bull
lane, Moore 81 Emery of Kansas City, has
been chosen as the sponsor and that a large
delegation will come from Kansas City to
savannah as the guests of the Central.

that the country through which he travelled
ii going to Kansas City is the garden spot
OF the world, with its rolling prairies
blllowy with thousands of acres of corn,
and Its what fields in which the harvesters
were busy as the train rolled through
measureless fields OF golden grain. To d.
rect the grain of this section this way, and
to bring Savannah into closer inter-com-
munication with the west is the dream that
inspired the Central to reach out for
connections with Kansas City and to name
the new steamer from the growing
metropolis of the southwest
