Remains of Georgia Soldiers Tn
earthed at Antietam.

Workmen repairing the canal near
Antietam battlefield, on the Maryland
side, have unearthed the remains of
two confederates.
The skeletons were clothed in but a
part OF the confederate uniform, which
was tolerably well preserved. The
buttons told that they were Georgians.
Two dirk knives, much rusted. were
found. Embedded in the thigh bone of
one was one-third of a shell, which
evidently caused his death. Around
the ankle bones of one was blue silk
tie.
A score of years ago party was
there from Georgia looking for the re-
mains of two soldiers. They dug near
the locality, but failed to find the dead
and left without leaving their names.
The remains were inferred in Elm
wood cemetery.

DISPENSARY THE ISSUE.
Leading Feature in Legislative
Race in EufauIa.

A Eufaula dispatch says that dispen-
sary and anti-dispensary has entered
the political arena there, and is the
subject of much comment.
L. H. Brassell, young attorney OF
Eufaula, has announced his candidacy
for the legislature on the dispensary
ticket, and the political pot will soon
begin to boil over that particular issue.
1t is the opinion of many that the
school fund would be increased $4,000
to $40, 900 every year by the displace-
ment of the barrooms, and the dispen-
sary plan would meet all the demands
of people. This is not believed by the
anti-dispensary element. They claim
that the dispensary would not suit the
wants of the whiskey trade, and
would not meet patronage that would
swell the city treasury as much or
more than the four barrooms now pay
ing high license.
The anti-dispensarists also say that
whiskey would be ordered from cities
that had barrooms a thousand miles
away and, the commercial welfare of
the town would be seriously affected.
There are eight barrooms, all within
a radius of mile, and four of these
are in the heart of the city. They are
all doing fine business, and the issue
will be fought vigorously on both
sides

SENATOR'S SAY CHURCH
SHOULD RETAIN MONEY.
BISHOP GAMBLER SPRINGS A SURPRISE
ON METHODlsTS AT DALLAS.
Georgian Reads Letter Signed by
EightY-Four Senators Regard
ing the War Claim.

The general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
now in session at Dallas, Texas, was
treated to sensational incident the
first day. 1t came in the shape of an
appendix to the Episcopal address
which was read by Bishop Duncan.
Immediately upon its conclusion Bis
hop Gambler announced To the confer
erence that he wished to read a letter
from Senators Clay and Bacon in an
swer to>one he had addressed them,
asking for an interpretation of the
senate resolution regarding the pro-
posed return of the money which the
senate had previously voted to the
Methodist church for damages to its
publishing house at Nashville during
the civil war.
Immediately delegate objected on
the ground that the letter of the sena-
tors was not official.
Bishop Wilson said that it was in
part explanatory of the bishops adj
dress and was therefore admissible.
Bishop Gambler then proceeded to read
the letter. which was also signed by
eighty-fUur senator's, in which it was
distinctly affirmed that the resolution
referred TO was complete exonora-
tio.s of the Methodist church and that
the said senators would have voted for
it on its merits.
There is great excitement among the
delegates over the turn matters have
taken. Three of the bishops, it is I'M
derstood, knew nothing of Bishop Can
dler's purpose to make the letter
part of the Episcopal address and are
privately making knowO this fact to
the members OF the conference. The
matter will come up again.
POLITICS IN CHURCH PUBLICATIONS.
The address, signed by the college
OF bishops, was lengthy one and two
hours were consumed in it's reading.
1t recites hat only only 3S,085 addi-
tions to the church have been made to
the church since the last conference,
and saws something is radically wrong.
The bishops also appeal for a better
equipped ministry. Politics in the
church pub ;cations is strongly con-
demned.

He insisted that the republican
contention was that the negroes OF
the south were fitted to govern in this
country, but that the Filipinos were
not fit to govern themselves in the
Philippines.
"Throughout the SOUTH" he said
"there is a horror hanging over every
household for this awful fear of rapine.

GLOOMY OUTLOOK IN INDIA.
Plague and Famine Now Worse
Than Ever.

There are gloomy prophecies as TO
the outlook in India. Both the plague
and the famine appear to be worse
than ever, and the unfortunate coun-
try is threatened with even greater
horrors than during the recent famine
and disease.
The plague has now spread over
upper India in an alarming manner,
and is peculiarly virulent in the Pun
iab. Efforts in the earlier stages to
stamp it out by measures INVOLVING
coercion were entirely Intellectual, be-
sides arousing popular discord which
threatened to become SO serious that
the supreme government was forced TO
Interfere with the local authorities.

Be Erected in New York.

Contracts will shortly be signed ,
according to the New York Herald,
for the sale of the famous Boreel
building, at Broadway, Thames, and
Cedar streets, to a new corporation,
backed by the fortunes of several
steel millionaires, to be followed by
the replacing of the structure with a
modern 25-story Office building. The
entire deal involves about $5,500,0CO
and may be reckoned one of the most
notable transactions in the history of
New York real estate.
The Boreel building site was once
owned by the first John Jacob Astor.
1t formed part of his daughters we'd
ding dowry. Mr.. Aston acquired it in
1928 for Sl2l 900.
The title to the land is a remarkably
interesting one. 1t runs back into
the seventeenth century, when VIII
liam Dyre ana his wife conveyed the
land to thomas Lloyd for $3.50. 1t
was then described as a lot on the
Great Highway-the Broadway of
.oday-''out side the gate, which
means north of the old land gate

of the entrances to the city OF new
Amsterdam when under Dutch rule.
The land was then used for pasture.

Republican Member ProVOkes Sensa'

Discussion in the United States
senate took a sensational turn when
Mr.. McCouas of Maryland, referring
to the cruelties of American soldiers
10 the Philippines-cruelties which he
deeply deplored-told of some of the

Referring to elections in the south,
Mr.. McComas said that the senators
from South Carolina and Mississippi
Iillman and Money cried out against
the small percentage of voters in the

After discussing the election methods
10 the states referred to he said: "We

had passed over with complacency the
