BAPTISTS FOR PROHIBITION.
Continued from Eighth PageJ

~ the victims Of this traffic ought GER
tainly to be protected.
No government now would dare license
pirates and highway robbers. on the plea
that their raids cannot be pre-
vented and that license regulates
them ana brings revenue into the
treasury. But it would take
many pirate and robber TO do the work
OF our saloons.
It is cheering sign of the times, that
under the pressure of public sentiment the
army canteen' and the sale Of liquor on
war vessels have recently been abolished
All friends OF temperance ought to thank
God and take courage. God hasten the
day when che government will refuse to
so into partnership in any way with this
accused traffic; but will outlaw it. and
make il common crime, 10 be hunted
down and punished as any other crime is.
Let US pray ard work for that day to
come Il would 90 far towards solving
many Of the sociological, political and re
Hgious problems of the day. II would help
the labor question and the money ques-
ton; 1t would help 70 purify politics and
the churches; 1t would do much to solve
the questions Of mission collections and
how 10 reach tho masses. May the day
OF its doom soon come.
In the meantime let us strivea TO bring
the gospel of warning and help to the
tempted, the gospel Of comfort to the SUI
fering ones and the gospel Of deliverance
90 the victims of this awful vice.
Whereas, of the 1877 counties in Georgia,
10 have prohibition; and
Whereas. the traffic is 50 thoroughly en-
tTenched in our cities
Therefore, he it resolved That we urge
the friends of prohibition in the ITO coun-
ties to join with those In the cities in Sc
curing state election on this great ques-
ton
Resolved further, That this convention
earnestly recommend to the churches the
appointment OF a standing committee on
temperance the duty of which shall be the
gathering OF helpful statistics and facts
concerning the liquor traffic, and recon-
mending such steps as are deemed best to
put il down.

The company has four thousand contracts,
and its directory shows that half that num-
Der Of telephones have been installed The
work Of putting in phones proceeds steadily,
and new directories will be issued from time

the company Is no less busy. Next week the

Greencastle will be in working order. With
in thirty days the lines to Richmond. Craw-

Persons who are patrons OF both telephone
companies are expressing some annoyance
because they are forced TO maintain two
telephones. S. u. Sheerin said yesterday
that the patrons of the New company were
standing by IL loyalty. There should be no
annoyance because of having to maintain
two telephones" he said. because when a
company has no competition 1t forces up
prices and lowers the standard of its serv-

Until the independent telephone movement
was started there was no such thing as tel

ice being extended into localities which
would not have been touched by telephone
lines otherwise.

WOMAN ROBS PREACHER
SORRY STORY RELATED To THE PO-
LICE BY REV. JOHN BEAsLEY.
Was Looking for a Laundress and
Went to the Rooms of Della Good,
CoIored Woman.

John Beasey who claims to be a Christian
preacher and evangelist from whiteland.
Johnson county, reported to the police yes
terday that he had been robbed of his wallet
containing large sum Of money and several
notes. Beasley said that colored woman to
whom he went to have some clothes washed
robbed him while he was in her room. From
his description the police think the woman
was Della Good.
II supposed the woman was all right and
never thought of her taking my money"
said Beasley in explaining how he was rob-
bed When asked what he was doing with
so much money on his person, Beasley said:
II was born and raised in New Castle. KY.
few miles from Louisville, and had some
money in a building and loan association
which. was about to go to the wall. / went
down there and got my money, part in
checks and part in bills. also settled up

here yesterday. 1 took some clothing up

Christian Church here and at Whiteland.
where am now. OF course, you know, Hv-
ing in a slave State and always having my
work done by colored people, 1 naturally
would go to them again.
Mr.. Beasey said he was fifty years of age
and unmarried and congratulated himself
on the fact that he would not have to make
any explanations of the loss of his money 70
a wife. Though he had no regular church
at present, he admitted that the church peo-
pie would make it rather warm" for him
should they find out how he lost his money.
He thought however, that the newspapers
would not get hold of the story.
The woman, Della Good, who robbed him,
Is well known to the police because of sim
liar doings and her picture from the rogues'
gallery, when shown TO Beasley, was recog-
nized by him. 1t was learned that she left
the house, jumped the rear fence and then
sent back for her hat which was in another
room. since which time the police and de-
tectives have been looking for her. Mr..
Beasley decided last night not to preach at
Bethany Park. but TO go to his home at
Whiteland. He said he had no idea OF the
character OF the woman until she began to
make advances toward him. His poke e
book. he said, contained about 81, 400, besides
a note signed by William McGinnis Of New
Castle, KY. for s40S92 note for $3.50 signed
by u. lie Master. of New Castle and $500
note signed by his two brothers, Gus and Joe.

COUNTY BOARD OF CHARITIES,
It's First Report to the Commissioners
.on County Asylum Conditions.

The County Board Of Charities and Cor
rections filed its first quarterly report with
the County Commissioners yesterday, in
stead OF waiting until the first Monday in
September, the time provided by the new
county reform law. A recent visit to the
county asylum impelled the board to make
a report at once.
The report says that the board found the
inmates in the main we'll and humanely
cared for, but the buildings are wholly in
adequate in capacity and character of con-
structiop for the proper care of the GAG in
mates" In opinion OF the board there
Is great danger of loss Of life by fire at the
asylum, and the commissioners are urged to
take immediate steps toward removing this
danger. 'In our Judgment" says the re-
port, nothing short Of the merciful hand
of God could save those unfortunates should
fire break out in the night" The report says
the board found that most of the fire pro-
lection is kept in the cellar where it would
Of qs The aard oud SaVe ths sne
apparatus taken from the cellar and placed
where the inmates could be regularly drilled
In its use.
Recently the commissioners purchased fire
escapes for the county asylum and the
Board of Charities inspected them on its re-
cent visit TO the asylum. The board is not
pleased with the system of fire escapes and
says in its report: 1.-The fire escapes re-
Gently erected, In their present construction
and relation 10 the buildings, are utterly
and wholly worthless. We do not believe
that one in ten of the inmates could descend
these steps unnjured. even in broad day
light with no necessity for haste"
The board recommends that the fire
escape system be reconstructed. 1t is sug
gested that sash doors hung TO swing out
ward be substituted for the windows OPEN
ing on the escapes and that these openings
be made level with the floors II possible. IL
this cannot be done 1t is suggested that nee
essary steps be supplied on the inside TO en-
able inmates TO reach the fire escapes. The
report is signed by William r. NJ Sylvester,
8. p Sheerin, Emma Lee Elan, Charles z.
Thornton and Lorenz Schmidt.
The commissioners were little surprised
at the boards criticism of the fire escapes
since they were put up at the direction of
State Inspector McAbee. who approved
them and said they conformed in every way
with the requirements of the department of
inspection. One Of the commissioners said
yesterday that as far the Charity Boards
recommendations as to the windows were
concerned ii had been the purpose of the
commissioners for some time to make these
changes as soon as the work could be done.
