pilmentary manner TO the work of the

IN behalf OF the race here. He urged his
hearers to take full advantages Of their

mr.. Ashmore and the State Teachers
Association.

nr. AshmOre and the State Teachers
Association.
Mr.. Otis Ashmore will leave for Cum
berland to-day accompanied by several
of the Savannah teachers. Mr.. Ashmore
has been an officer In the State Teachers
Association and has always taken great
interest in its work. When spoken to
yesterday about the reports sent out from
Brunswick as to the mismanagement of
the associations affairs, he said:
IL think there must be some mistake.
If there is any trouble it has evidently
been greatly exaggerated The debt on
the auditorium is somewhere between 500
and 81, 900 and not 5000 as stated. II is
always the case where a large number of
members of any body are gathered to-
gether that the majority do not pay their
dues until the close of the session. The
dues will be paid because it is necessary
to do this i'm order for the members to ger
their tickets stamped by the secretary
enabling them to get the advantage OF
the cheap fare for the return trip. When
the dues are paid up there will be enough
money on hand to nearly clear up the
debt. Whether the meeting has been q
success or otherwise / am unable to say
but the attendance is evidently very large
and that is one requisite 10 success"
Mr.. Ashmore has been so occupied with
his duties at the high school that he has
not been able to give any time to the
meeting of the association this year. il
is likely that he will be able to give d
different report when he returns frou
those sent out.

George cuthbert. who made murderous
onslaught on his wife and another woman

yesterday by Officer Barrett, after a chase

1t was reported to officer Barrett about
dark that Cuthhert was at the Bay street

found him near by Cuthbert saw the Of
ficer and started on a run. He was pur-
sued by Barrett for three-quarters of a
mile through the fields. Barrett got tired
of chasing his man and fired two shots
over his head. Cuthbert ran on a short
distance further and decided that it would
be best to surrender, which he did. He
was sullen and had little to say.
A large crowd of negroes from Yama-
craw were gathered at the canal bridge
when Policeman Barrett arrived with his
prisoner. They made no demonstration.

is the time when the protesting

should emulate the example of the
man of Gallilee, and visit and COM

man has an immortal soul, and yet
the preachers of the gospel seem as
anxious to hurl the soul of this

ungodly. We have been informed

asked permission to see this man,

The Infuence OF Persia.

To understand the relation Of Mussul-
man rule to religious and intellectual
freedom we must note the influence Of
the conquest Of Persia ON the Arab
mind When the invaders took the cap
ital city Of Khosru, they did not know
the value Of booty. Some offered 70 ex-
change gold for silver, and others mis-
took camphor for sulphur. They came
like swarms Of half starved locusts to
devour the land. They were banditti Of
the desert, with no culture but the in
SEPARATION Of the clans. The only idea cf
government in these tribes was the
leadership Of age and valor, as repre-
sented in the sheik, with a natural mix

Of Mohammed they broke into rebellion.
Islam really came on the world like
fierce descent Of desert clans ON their foes.
Mohammed's ideal Of government
was Just to send his governors through

collect tribute from the poor In camels
