Lectures on Passion plav.

Rev. E. F., Matrau. rector of st. Paul 8 Episcopal Church, delivered last evening in St. Pauls Church the first of a series of lectures on the Passion Play of Ober- ammergau. A large congregation was present to hear MT. Matrau and was high ly pleased with his address Mir. Matrau last evening gave a short account of the origin and growth of passion plays in general and especially of the drama as performed in Oberammer- gau which he said was a most sublime spectacle. He gave an interesting descrlp- iton of the village of Oberammer gau and of It's sturdy and moral inhabitants.
 MT. Matrau described the theatre in which the play was given as well as the costumes and the methods employed of staging the great urama. The Passion Play consists of seventeen acts and his lectures will each take up one or two acts.
 MT. Matrau saw the performance of the Passion Play in Oberammergau in Au- gust, 1900. and made an exhaustive study of 1t. He Is not only well informed on the subject of his lecture but he possesses to ;n unusual degree the faculty of de- scription.

The Newc of Selma.

According to the talk of the street the negro who borrows from the Shy pays about double the amount of the loan until his death when his heirs are freed of the debt by the payment of sum not less than three times the amount originally borrowed.
 This business Is of course not confined to Selma and is practiced in other cities, but 1t has here grown to such remarkable proportions. both as regards extensive ness and as regards the rate of usurious interest that 1t is alarming. Scores of negroes are owned, almost body and soul, by unprinclpled men who by superior cunning and by intimidation rob ignor- ant persons of all they have
 , It is not impossible that an appeal will also be made to the State legislators from Dallas County to pass statute covering the case in the whole State.

Milton M. Stone.

It was, with surprise and grief that
people learned, Wednesday morning, OF
the death Of Milton M. Stone, which oc-
CURED at his home on Green street. at
about 4 O'Clock. Mr.. Stone had been
confined to his bed with an attack of
typhoid fever for about ten days, and
while it was known that he was dan
gerously i'll. his death came unex-
pectedly,, and was due to heart failure
He was SO years of age, and is sur
vived by two children, Mrs. Geo. III
Bangs, and James B. Stone.
Mr.. Stone was one of the best known
and most thoroughly respected men in
the city, and although some years OF
his life were passed in other places. he
was distinctly an Augusta citizen
proud of the home of his boyhood. and
always interested in her industrial
welfare.
He was born in Augusta, Jan. II,
1884. When but boy he entered the
cotton mills to learn the business, and
later went to Lawrence, Mass, 81 TO
work in the mills of that city. After
spending some. time there, he returned
ITO Augusta, and re-entered the mills rs
oversear of weaving, which position he
held until 1877. s $50 '..s' .
+ In 1877 he made another change this
time going to Central Falls, Rhode
Island. for the Spragues, as superIn-
tendent of the mills there, and was
later sent to Baltic. Conn.,, in the same
capacity. In 1884 he returned to Au-
gusta and was appointed agent of the
Riverside mill at Hallowell. Here he
!, &c
chosen superintendent of the Edwards
mills. position which he has since
held.
A During his long business course in the
city Mr.. Stone naturally became as
ISOLATED with many people, of various
conditions Of life, and that he enjoyed
the respect and good will of one and
all of them need hardly be said. And
not one is there, of the hundreds en-
ployed in the mills, but who will learn
with sadness the announcement that
he is gone.
In politics he was first, last and al
ways a Republican, but did not take
an active part in it, as his whole life
was bound up in his business and his
home. In the different positions which
he held during his life he always dis
charged his duties with a care and
faithfulness that won for him the, con-
fidence and esteem of those by whom
he was employed.
Mr.. Stone was prominent in Masonic
circles, being a past master of Bethle-
hem Lodge, a past high priest of Jeru-
salem Royal Arch Chapter of Halo
well, and a member of Trinity Conn
mandery. He was also a member of
Highian& Lodge, A. o. U. W., and of
the Knights of Honor.
Prayers will be said at 1.S0 P. M. Fri
day, at the house, followed by the fun
eral at o'clock at the chapel of
the Congregational church, Rev. Nor
man Mckinnon officiating. The exer-
cises will be under the direction of
Trinity Commandery, and the services
will be united.

A young lady in an uptown millinery
store is just now wondering whether
or not it pays to be charitable. The
reason why she is in such an unde-
cided state of mind is because a fell

of the interior, looked her in the eve
and mildly asked Say, don't you
have more dummies in this store than
any other place on the street, She

Don't leave u baby alone on the side
walk in a baby sleigh or carriage.
Wednesday forenoon, somebody left a
baby alone that way in front of the
postoffice, and a big dog came along,
jumping and playing with another dog,
ran against the little sleigh, tipped it
over. and baby got a bad bruise on the
forehead. Had it been a runaway
horse. one shudders to think of the
possible result.
