Montgomery Baptist Association.

Fort Deposit, Aug 3l.--(Special.)- The Montgomery Baptist Association closed here this afternoon at 5 o'clock after holding one of the most interest," ing sessions in it's history. The work of today was unusually interesting.
 The subject of ministerial education was ably discussed and much enthu- siasm was manifefed on this subject.
 Rev. A. F. Dix of Montgomery, pre- sented a paper on the subject of Tenn perance. taking high grounds and pre- senting the subject with great clear ness. V. H. Bell followed this paper with a forceful speech which was well received by a large and attentive audi ence. pr. c. A. Stakely of Montgom- cry, occupied the pulpit at Il o'clock and preached a most powerful and in teresting sermon.
 The pastor, Rev. s. J. Catts, will continue the meeting into the regular annual revival which will probably go on all next week.

but this may De said: That here and there man can be found who, If he were Governor of Ohio, would protect George Morgan In his rigat to live In the town or village of Archbold if he had to call out the whole National Guard of the State to enforce that right.
 But no such heroic measures are necessary. The sheriff of the county Is the official who is responsible in, this case If he does not do his duty. pre- sumably the. Governor will call him to account for his remissness
 In the meantime. the white residents of Archbold have shown that they are a scurvy lot of bigots and prosecutors. unworthy of the name or privileges of American citizens.

Henry lyle confesses, Hoover, That
 Was Wanted by Authorities.

Brewton, Aug 31.-(Special.) )-Henry lyle. white, aged about 45, was arrest ed at Flomaton yesterday on suspicion of being the principal in the murder of an octoroon in Atlanta, Ga, Aug. IS, for whom there is said to be a reward of $1, ,000. The arrest was made by Dep uty Sheriff McCurdy and c. P. O'Ban- non. He was given preliminary trial before Justice of the Peace Chaudron and committed to jail at Brewton, where he Is now confined. lyle has acknowledged that he Is the man the authorities were looking for although he denies that he had anything to do with the killing He says she tried to dose him with poisoned liquor. and when he made resistance, she took, at his protest. big drink, which resulted in her death.
 In all probability there will be no term of the Circuit Court which should l convene here September 2Srd. The dockets are light. the jail is almost empty. and there Is very little business to justify a session of the Court. Judge Richardson has been petitioned to call off the term and 1t will likely be done It will be a saving to the County of about $1. 800.
 The local assembly. Knights of La- bor. so your correspondent Is informed. has ordered the Knights to cease work for the Cedar Creek Mill Company, un- less at the old scale before the shut down. This has caused some alarm among the old employees of the firm and it may be several months before the mills start up.

AN OHIO TOWN
Will Not Tolerate Negro Residents

 Archbold is an Ohio town eighteen miles from Toledo. George Morgan, a young man against whom nothing is alleged except that he has a colored skin, wants to live there. But the peo- pie of Archbold. who happen to have tan colored skins-sometimes called whits-boast that no "nigger" can live in that place.
 Accordingly MT. Morgan has been driven out, and when he appealed to the United States marshal at Toledo for protection in his rights he was referred to Attorney General Sheets, who. in turn, referred him to the sheriff of his county. But he had already applied to the sheriff and been advised to move out of town.
 So, it seems, it has come to this, that in an Ohio town, cnly few miles from several large cities, a citizen of the United States cannot secure the protec- tion of the law or its officers in leading a quiet. decent life.
 What do the people of Ohio think of that? What does the Governor of Ohio propose to do about 1t? It is too early to answer those questions yet;

Senator Tillman's effort to fortify his Democracy by the assertion that he denounced tMr. Cleveland from 1892 to 1896 is properly called stupidity by The Charleston Post. Four years ago that was strong card to play by some who insisted on calling themselves Demo- cratc. but Tillman will soon learn that his exploitation of that portion of his record is about the worst thing for himself that he can do.

rHFY LOVED HIM.

In Emporia, Kan, a few days ago, the longest funeral procession which had been seen in that town in ten years followed the corpse of one of it's citi- zens to a country burial ground three miles away, through the heat and dust of an oppressive August day. He was not rich, nor great. nor powerful. as the world views power and greatness. The boast of heraldry. the pomp of to long line of noted ancestors Whose distant footsteps echo Down the corridors of Time. He was a poor, sim pie minded min Istef, as modest and unassuming as Goldsmith's village parson. What his religious denomination was we know not. nor the name of his church. That matters not. In that long aQd solemn procession men and women of all creeds and beliefs marched with those who be- lieved in no creed. Jew and Gentle, Catholic and Protestant, walked side by side and forgot creed and sect, only re- membering that they belonged to the great and universal brotherhood of
 man. and that here was a good citizen, to whose memory all could fittingly pay
 loving tribute.
 A local paper says:
 The reason so many people lined up be- hind the hNlrse that held the kind old mans mortality was simple: They loved him. He devoted his life to helping peo- money or worldly power. he gave of the gentleness of his heart to all around him.
 Perhaps no monument will ever be
 erected ovtr this humble servants grave. but this, also, is of no conse- auence. Neither marble shaft nor sounding epitaph can build for him a
 more touching memorial than was left
 by this long line of people who marched behind his remains with hushed voices
 and saddened heartt because they
 loved him." An humble stone with | these three words engraved on it would be a fitting monument for one who car
 ried to the grave the hearts of his
 neighbors.
 AL roads lead to the grave. but all
 do not travel it in the same way. While
 one marches in triumph along the Ap-
 plan Way of life with the applause of the world to keep his footsteps com pany, another plods down the humble
 byways of earth. unknown to fame. but
 with him goes the love of the people.

 on which his glory and greatness are
 carved in sonorous sentences. and tle

WILL BANQUET MIR. GEDDEs.
Other News of Railroad Men and
 Matters.

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company on September will give a banquet to celebrate the flftieth anni- versary of the service of Major Ja-1ee Geddes Superintendent of the Nash vile division of that system. Major Geddes entered the service of the Lou isville and Nashville on September 2, 1851, and since that time has not spent a day out of it's employ. His splendid executive ability and his quiet and un- obtrusive manner have gained him place high in the esteem of the com pany, and it Is very gratifying to his large circle of friends that the Louis vile and Nashville has seen fit to eel ebrate the occasion. It is rare for an official to remain in the employ of one company for fifty years. but 1t is rarer still for a railroad to take cognizance of such service. and few men deserve the recoRnition as much as Major Ged- des.
 Major Geddes has had various head quarters during his connection. but he always claimed Nashville as his home, and has refused several more respon- sible positions in order to remain in this city.
 The family of Major Geddes, the prin- cipal officials of the Louisville and Nashville and many of his close friends and men who have been identi- fled with him will attend the banquet Fifty covers will be laid. one for each year of his service.-Nashville Banner,

SUM- MER
 COAL.

As the season advances, you are natur. ally considering the question of your winter supply of coal.
 We beg to call your attention to our celebrated 'Dixie Lump which we con. slider superior to any coal mined in the State The strong points that recom- mend 'Dixie'' to the consumer are. that it is free from slate, easy to light, makes a hot fire and burns up entirely to red ash, leaving no clinkers.
 We have sold during the past season eight thousand tons of 'Dixie'' coal for grate purposes. and there is no question but what we will sell the same parties again, as it has given by far the best sat- isfactiOn of any coal offered in this ter- ritOry.
 Experience has taught us that it Is poor policy for coal consumers to delay purchasing their supply too late, from the fact that prices advance and the demand increases as the cold weather comes on.
 We shall be pleased to make you prices and will do all in our power to please you.

MANY AMERICANS
KILLED BY BOLOMEN
Company G, Ninth Infantry,
Almost Annihilated.
THREE OFFICERS SLAIN

Their Names Are Thomas w. ConnelI, d,
First Lieutenant Edward A. Bum
pus ard Major Surgeon r. 5. Gris-
wold---Corrected CabIegram.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 80.-In addition
to the enlisted men, three commissioned
officers of Company Q, Ninth infantry,
are supposed now to have been killed IN
the action in Samar, Philippine islands,
last Saturday.
The officers are:
Captain Thomas w. Connel.
First Lieutenant Edward A. Bumpus.
Major Surgeon R. S. Grlswold.
A question having arisen as to the ac-
curacy of the cablegram received at the
war department yesterday from Gen
eral Chaffee, the cable company was di-
rected to repeat it. The repetition dis
closes some inaccuracies that materially
change the message. As corrected the
dispatch reads:
Manila, Sept 29-Adjutant Gen
eral, Washington: Hughes reports fol-
lowing from Bassey, southern Samar:
Twenty-four men, Company @, Ninth
regiment, United States Infantry, IL
wounded, have just arrived from Balan-
giga; remainder company killed; insur-
gents secured all company supplies and
all rifles, except three Company was
attacked during breakfast, morning
Sept. %. Company 72 strong; officers,
Thomas W. Connell, Captain Edward
A. Bumpus, first lieutenant; DR.. r.
S. Griswold, major surgeon. (Signed)
OhafPee."
As corrected the dispatch shows that
Company Q of the Ninth suffered the
disaster. No company was mentioned
in the dispatch made public, yesterday.
The serious discrepancy between the
original and the corrected dispatches,
however, is that the latter indicates that
the commissioned officers of the compa-
ny are missing, perhaps killed, while
the former indicated that they escaped.
The father Of Captain COnneu resides
in New York city. He telegraphed to
the war department today that he is in
receipt of a cabIegram from the quar-
termaster of the Ninth regiment saying
that his son had been killed in action.
