NEGRO IS WARM ON
TRAIL OF THE COIN
Churches Are Organized In
Sumter.
BARRELS OF DOLLARS ASSURED
DeIuded Negroes In Country Near
Americus Fully Expect Big Pensions
From Hanna-Organized BY Shrewd
Negro Sharpers.

With their "charter" paid for and
full list of members paying ten cents a
week as dnes to the ''organizer," the
negroes constituting the membership
of dozes of churches and societies in
the rural districts about Americus are
patiently and hopefully awaiting the
barrel of money promised as pensions.
The dollars are coming their way,
barrels of them, and'Cnff, eyer credu-
lous, is on the watch tower,
To better effect the heading-otf pro
cess perfect organization has been eff
fected, aud the money is to be dis
tributed in big wads among the church
es and secret societies in the country,
The Times Recorder was Informed
yesterday that many of the negro
churches out in the Friendship neigh
borhood have been ''granted a char
ter" that is, made eligible to receive
the pension money which they are told
is to be distributed at once under the
Hanna bill. A slick coon did all the
organizing
He is paid $40 for each "charter' D
granted a society on church.
Under the rules of this charter every
member of the church or society, over
10 years of age, is to be paid $50 in
cash, and $18 per month for the bal
auce of his life. The age scale is grad
ed down to 10 per month for young
members.
Each member also pays the "agent'
of Mr.. Hanna ten cents for initiation
fee and ten cents monthly dues.
And thus is the credullty of the ig
norant country negro being imposed
upon to the extent of hundreds o.
thousands of dollars. These sleek i'm
posters are going all oyer the county
telling preposterous lies of pensions
to be given the negroes, and ever.
yarn is swallowed with eagerness b!
the poor, deluded creatures.
But there is no need to tell then
better. They prefer to believe TIN
"agent' of Mr.. Hanna and pay price
for chasing rainbows.

One bone of contention over which
the members of council will struggle at
the meeting tomorrow night will be the
proposition to increase the police force
by the addition of two men, either to
serve as regular policemen or as super
numeraries when they are needed.
And a warm and spirited debate is
likely to result.
Council is pretty nearly evenly di-
vided on the question.
At the meeting last week Mayor
Hawkins introduced an ordinance pro
vidlng for the election of two men, to
serve whenever, in the opinion OF
council or chairman of the police
board, their services may be required
This proposition met with objection
from those aldermen who oppose any
increase in the force, and the proposed
ordinance went oyer.
But it will be taken up again tomor
row night in the regular order, and
the debate may be upon this PROPOSE
tion. Several members favor an in
crease of the police force and others
are equally determined IN their oppo-
sition thereto, whether it be by electing
two supernumeraries, or in any man
ner.
Opponents of the measure can see
no need for more policemen, even il
the council had money to spend thusly,
which they say is not fact. a
long. dull and quiet summer is at hand,
and they do not think that conditions
at present warrant an increase Of the
police force. Besides, there is che ad'
ditional heavy cost.
But other members cannot see it this
way and insist that the city needs two
more policeuaa.
Those opposing the measure say that
it will be ''close pulp financially, to
get through the summer, and that
every means must be used to cut ex-
penses to a minimum.
Besides the cash on hand-none toe
much-the city is due 81 00O in uncoI
lected taxes, but nearly half of this
amount, even if in hand, belongs to the
bond and public school fund and is no
available for other purposes. This il
the argument of those members who
oppose any increase in the force now.
Each side, however, has arguments
pro and con, and these will be aired II
the debate likely to result tomorrow
night.

Prof. Thomas Hoyl died at an early
hour yesterday morning at his home
IN Dawson. The sad tidings of the
passing of this bright young life, so
full of promise, was conveyed in a
telegram to his father-in-law, Capt.

consumption. Captain Dews and
daughter, Mrs. A. G.. Miller, went to
Dawson on the afternoon train to at
tend the funeral. Only little more
than year and half ago Prof. Hoyl
and Miss Ruby Dews were united in
marriage here at the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. Wellborn T. Clarke, and the
deep sympathy of many friends here
goes out to the stricken young wife
Prof. Hoyl was about thirty years OF
age, graduate of Emory college, and
esteemed among a wide circle OF
friends throughout the state.
