STEWARDS ORDER
RESIDENCE BUILT.
For Presiding Elder of the Americas
District
AMER1CUs MUST SECURE HOME
Four Towns In District Will Offer
inducements For Location of Home
of Presiding Elder, Board Stewards
Meet at Shellman

The Methodist churches embraced
in the Americas district of the South
Georgia Conference will build a beau
tiful home for the presiding elder Of
the district, and the town or city Sc
curing the location of the home will be
his official headquarters for all time.
And Americas, being the largest
city in the district, wants the home.
The matter of location was discussed
yesterday at a district meeting of
stewards, held at Shellman, and a
committee was appointed to investi-
gate the claims of towns wanting it.
This committee consists of Col. W.P.
Wallis, of Americas, Mr. j. J. Hill, of
Bronwood, and Mr.. G. D. Speight, of
Fort Gaines. Americas, Cuthbert, Daw
son and Shellman are the four points
suggested and one of these will secure
the location of the handsome home.
The committee will report to the dis
trict conference, held in June.
Americas is by far the most accessi-
BILE point for the home, and will make
a strong fort to secure it. The pres
ent presiding elder lives here, and
with the excellent railway connections
can reach any portion of his district in
short time, this being the centre.
The First church here contemplates
the buiIdino of a handsome new housp
of worship and also a new parsonage
very soon, and the present parsonage
might be utilized as a home for the
presiding elder.

AMER1CUs NEGRO IN MICHIGAN.
Tells of the Tricks of Hermann the
Great Magician.

Fate has decreed that an Americas
negro should reveal to wondering ma
ton how the great Hermann perform
ed the marvellous feats of Iegerdemain
that for years astonished and mystified
the American people. A Detroit letter
to the Cincinnati Enquirer tells of the
arrest in Detroit of Hudson Everett,
charged with the ofense of having
substituted paste diamonds for the
magnificent gems owned by Mrs. Herr
mann, with whom he remained after
the death Of the great magician. The
article states, and correctly, that when
Hermann was in Amer1cus several
years ago Everett, then a small boy,
was fascinated by the arts and sciences
of magic and went away with Herr
mann. He travelled with the world
renowned seer many years and, with
the keen intuition of his race, observ.
ed how many of Hermann's most re-
markable tricks were done. Since his
arrest for the little slight of hand act
of changing genuine diamonds into
paste gems" Everett has told the
Detroit reporters and Jail officers of his
travels with Hermann and explained
many of his most wonderful and hith.
erto mystifying tricks. Everett's PEG,
pie still live in Americas, and many
here will recall the little mig who for.
merly ran errands about Glover

HONOR SUMTER LIGHT GUARDS.
New Company May Take Name of Old

The new military company, which it

the name of that splendid old company
which went to glory and to death on
the battlefelds of Virginia in the six
ties-the Sumter Light Guards. This
was among the first companies that
left Amerlcus during the Civil war,
and it is proposed that the new COM
mand take the honored name of the
old. Good progress is being made in
receiving names for enlistment, the
total reaching forty-one yesterday.
The men will meet Friday night at city
hall to effect organization, and Ameri-
Gus will soon have two crack COM
panles. With seven commissioned
officers here Americas would be emit
tied to major in the Fourth Regi-
ment, and would receive this honor
