M'GILL AS EMISSARY NEGRO PREACHER VISITS IN-

 McGdll denied that he had been sent to IndianoIa but made the statement that he had been to that place and that he had looked over the situation When ask- ed what were the conditions, he said: If it were me, I would not go back, at least until the feeling settles down, and I so advised MrA Cox"
 When asked whether he had been sent to Indianola he said: 'I will only say this. and 1t is one statement in a thou sand; the administration of President Roosevelt Is to the negro what the heart is to the body. It has pumped the very life blood into every artery of the negro of this country"
 McGiu requested your correspondent to write this statement down.
 He stated further that the trouble at Indianola was caused by some wild and baseless statements published in a negro paper which had started up the whites
 When asked concerning interviews with the President. McGill each time replied: ''I have advised my friends to say nOth- ing about the matter"

COLOMBIA MUST HURRY
WASHINGTON FRETs OVER
 LONG DELAY.
Outcome May Be the Sending of Treaties With Nicaragua and Costa Rico to the Senate for
 Ratification.

Washington, Jan. H.-It Is learned at the State Department that Ambas- sador Tower has received from the Ger man foreign office an unequivocal denial of the statement that has found some currency some days ago. to the effect that the German Government was endaavering to secure control of the Panama canal franchises.
 The Ambassadors advice did not credit the German Government with any feeling for or against the canal enterprise, but 1t Is gathered that the state of the public mind in Berlin. certainly in commercial circles, is favorable to American con- struction because of the benefits expected to accrue to German shipping engaged in trade with the west coast of South America
 It is said at the State Department that there is no change in the negotiations with Colombia respecting the canal Great impatience Is exhibited at the delays and the failure Of Colombia to accept the terms held out and pressure Is being brought to bear to hasten a con- clusion so that the President, before ad- 5ournment of the present Congress may have acquired control of either the Pana- ma or the Nicaragua routes and be in a position to begin the work of construc- ton.
 1t is regarded as desirable to avoid test of the legal status of the appropria- tons for canal purposes made. in the 5pooner act, and such a test might be necessary if the actual control Of the property is not had before March {. For this reason, the impression is allowed to grow that Colombia will not be given much time in addition to what she had. in which finally to accept or refuse our terms. As soon as he concludes that such refusal is final. the President is prepared to send to the Senate treaties with Nicaragua and Costa Rica convey ing the necessary authority for the con- struction of the Nicaraguan canal

Now Bound South.

Unprecedented Number of Tourists
Now Bound South.
According to the Macon Telegraph,
the tourist season has already com
menced and many noGtherners are
now southwark bound. The Tele-
graph says:
Judging by the large number of
tourists passing daily through the
Central City, the balmy lands of South
Georgia and Florida are growing ex-
|ceptionally attractive this year to the
people of the chilly north.
In fact all previous records for
|south-bound travel have been broken.
The local railway passenger men say
that the tourist season has opened sew
eral weeks in advance of the usual
time and an unprecedented unmber of
tourists are now leaving the snow
covered regions Of the north for the
flowery kingdom in the sunny south.
Hitherto the season has always
opened about the middle of December.
However, the tourists began coming
south several weeks ago and numbers
have continued to pass through the
city on every south-bound train.
