every member present voted against these
enemies of law and promised to use his
eloquence and influence to destroy both.
Bishop McCabe commended the tem-

he had ever heard. and he condemned yel-
low journalism as the brother of anarch-
ism. In support Of his charge he quoted
from the San Francisco Examiner tEa
Stanza printed February 4, 1900, and run
ming as follows:
The bullet that pierced Goebel's breast
Cannot be found in all the West
Good reason: Tt is speeding here
To stretch Mckinley on his bier.
Shame! shamer" cried the 800 preach
ers, as the reading was finished. Contin-
uing, the Bishop said: This is high treS-
son. There should be law under which
the publisher who printed this could be
arrested at once. You remember the Hay
market massacre. The night it occurred
Mayor Carter H. Harrison was down
there. He rode away saying. 'There'll be
no trouble. Two hours later several men
were stretchd out dead or in agony. He
was mistaken This anarchistic talk does
cause harm. Let us produce a public
opinion which shall make such utteranees

The subject Of anarchism was brought
up by the report of the committee on the
state of the country. which the Rev j.
r. Creighton presented. The committee
recommended that laws be passed ito
protect the lives of public officials and 10
make any attempt against the stability OF

punished as such.'

HICHWAYMEN ROB
TRAVELLING MAN,
Bold Robbery Is Pe1petrated at Depot
Here.
THIEVES GET VICTIMS WALLET.
Hustled Old Man From Train And
Rob Him Openly at Americas De-
pot. Conductor to The Rescue But
Thieves Easily Made Escape,

Americus is not often the scene of a
bold robbery of the Rube Burrows
type, but the boldest on record was re-
ported here yesterday morning where.
in travelling salesman was deliber-
ately held up at the Central depot by
three grafters and his wallet taken
from him.
The victim of this highway robbery
was Mr.. W. L. Sharpe, of Atlanta, an
aged and we'll known travelling sales
man, who often comes here.
The grafters, despite his resistance,
got his purse containing $155.
It seems from accounts of the affair,
that when Mr.. Sharpe picked up his
valise and started to get off the train at
the depot here, three we'll dressed
strangers, claiming to be travelling
men but in reality were grafters, or
thieves, came forward to assist the old
gentleman.
One took his valise while the others
hustled him ont the car.
And it was during this hustling act
that the fakir thrust his hand in Mr..
Sharre's pocket and took his money.
Mr.. Sharpe detected him in the act and
grabbed the fellow.
Immediately there was a mixup OF
the fakirs, each protesting innocence
of the charge of robbery.
Conductor Little and the engineer OF
the train came to the assistance of Mr..
Sharpe and made every effort to catch
the robbers, but they had escaped in
the darkness. There was no policeman
at the train to assist them, Officer
Cobb having returned to town, as the
train was late.
Conductor Little held his train here
some little time searching for the
thieves, but failing to find them pulled
out at - o'clock for Albany.
The three grafters ''swung the rods"
just below the city and rode on tc
Smithville, where they left the train
and hit the woods. During this ride
of twelve miles they were probably
upon the trucks, and their presence
was unknown to Capt. Little, who
would have pulled them all.
Mr.. Sharpe spent the remainder Of
the night here and returned to Atlanta
Yesterday. The three grafters board.
ed Capt. Little's tram at Macon and
were going to Albany to "work" the
fair there this week.

The question of allowing coIored vo-
ters, protesting to be democrats, to
participate in the election was dis
cussed at some length, the committee
finally reaching decision contrary.
It will be purely democratic cleo
ton, among democrats.
A city clerk aud treasurer and three
aldermen are to be nominated in the
primary on December 10th.
And these wifi receive the full vote
cast in the regular election on Decem-
Der 18Th. There is just one week in
tervening between the two elections.
So for there has been but one formal
announcement for one of the Offices.

cies in council will have the effect of
bringing out others at an early date.
Pay your city taxes for last year and
thus be eligible to vote in the primary
