JUDGE SAMUEL LUMPKIN
Is STRICKEN BY DEATH

Samuel Lumpkin. associate Justice Of
the supreme court of Georgia, died very
suddenly in Wilkes county early last
Saturday morning.
He was seeking rest and recreation in
the country and was suddenly, in the
night, attacked by a hemorrhage Of the
lungs and succumbed about daybreak,
APO O'Clock In the morning.
There were no premonitory symptoms
of serious lung trouble. indeed. no symp-
toms of any affection of those organs.
and the manner of his death was as
startling the death itself was sudden
and unexpected.
The news of the sad event created q
sensation throughout the state. for aside
from the prestige Of his high office. the
rare personality of Judge Lumpkin had
won him friends from the wiregrass belt
of the souen to the mountains at the
line of Tennessee.
The past year, crowded with arduous
judicial duties and other responsibilities
and cares added to the pains of rheuma-
tism. had exhausted Judge Lumpkin. but
he was strong enough to appear one
of the chief figures in the recent enter
tainment of Judge Alton B. Parker when
that distinguished New Yorker was the
guest of the Georgia Bar Association.

Columbus, Ca. July 13.-(Special)-A
ter an absence Of thirty-eight years from
Columbus, Rosa Crawford, a negro wom-
an, has just arrived In the city from
Liberia She Is glad to get back, ana
says there are any number Of others IN
the negro colony who would be glad to
come back to America if they could.
She was girl only about eighteen years
old when she joined the first emigration
party out of Columbia to Africa. the f1rst
year after the war. She was servant
at the home Of Randolph Mott. one of the
most prominent citizens of Columbus inc
young woman was seized with the emlgra-
ton craze and ran away from her parents.
She married Ia Augusta, while en- route
to Africa. The colonists settled In Mon
rovia, and the majority Of those living are
still residents Of Liberia. Less fnan 4
half dozen of the Columbus negroes are
satisfied with their present home, but
many of them would come back to Amer

Crawford woman was laundress ana
says she made a good living. Her hus-
band died fifteen years ago. Five years
ago she mived to the British province or

being many rich white families there who
were willing to pay well for fine launder-

in this way to get back home.
Her sister from Columbus. and brother

that the American trade with the coun-

The Crawford woman says that when

have changed however, and the indus
tries have gone down to the extent that
the greater part of the necessities of life
are now imported.

ERROR IN TYPE OF ALMANAC
CAUSES FEAR OF FINAL DAY

Gainesville. Ga, July F.-(Special)-
Rev. ]. D. Lovetoy. colored. pastor OF
st. Paul Colored Methodist Episcopal
church of Gainesville. has the negroes OF
this city wrought up to a high pitch of
excitement over a sermon he recently
preached from. Amos viii, Q. The occa-
sion of the sermon furnished by
typographical error in Griers almanac Of
1909
In the November table of the rising and
setting Of the sun. on the 18th.
the astronomers calculate that the sun
will rise at 6;59 a. m. and set at SOL
p. m.
Here is where the devil" proofreader
or printer comes in and makes the error
upon which the colOred cergymans re-
marks are based. Instead of the printer
setting it up SOL p. m, he substituted a
figure l in place OF the figure 5. and Rev.
Lovejoy, in looking over the almanac, sees
the error and comes to the conclusion
that this IS the day set apart for the
ending of all earthly things
Therefore. he takes his Bible. and turn
ing to Amos viii Q. selects the following
scripture for his text
And it shah come to pass in that
day, saith the Lord God, that | will cause
darken the earth in the clear day"
With voice trembling with excite
ment and his frame shaking with appar-
ent fear. Rev. Lovejoy cited his hearers
to the scriptural quotation and the typo
graphical error in the almanac as proof
positive that the judgment day was near
at hand and would surely arrive al noon
November 3 next Although there IS one
hour and one minutes difference be-
tween the time of the going down of the
sun as annears in the almanac, and the
scriptural quotation. this matters not to
either Rev. Loveioy or his congregation
they both belieYe that the end of the
world is SCHEDULED for this particular day
and time.
With the roar of the recent terrible tor
nado still ringing In their ears. LoVejoy
and his congregation are prepared to
beliey. that a similar, or even worse Wis
itation may come at any day. and tia
error in tn almanac furnishes them vita
a date upon which they can agree-and
this time it IS the ending of the world
upon which they have decided. St. Paul
church was destroyed in the recent storm
and the credulity of this congregation
now knows no bounds.

FOR FINANCIAL LEGISLATION
Roosevelt Wants Extra Session To
Take UP Question.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 16.-President
Roosevelt is deeply Interested In pro-
posed financial legisla ton. AS q student
of affairs he has noted for long time
the necessity of financial legislation Of n
remedial character, and today he eX-
pressed to Senator Lodge, of Massachu-
sets, mis- desire that early action upon
the subject should be taken by congress
along the lines of his recent messages
and speeches.
Indeed it can be said he hopes action
will be initiated at the extra session of
congress which he will call on Monday.
November O.
Senator Lodge arrived here this morn
ing about 10 o'clock and passed the day
with the president at Sycamore Hill
Before his departure Senator Lodge
gave TO the Associated Press a state
ment concerning his conference with the
president In this statement the presi-
dents hopes regarding the financial leg
islation are reflected
''You know" of course" said Mr.
Lodge, that an extra session is to be
called to meet on Monday. November y

The session viii be called primarily for
the purpose of enacting legislation APP
proving the Cuban treaty which was
ra titled by the senate last spring. The
president hopes. however, as L do, that
we shall be able to take up for early
consideration financial legislation along
the lines of his messages and speeches
since he became president. In this leg
islation the president takes the deepest
interest

No Possibility FOR Trouble.

Washington, July lit is learned at
the state department that there have
been no representations recently from
the British government touching the
ownership of the small islands of the
south Of the Philippine archipelago and
adjacent to the coast of Borneo. Nor
is anything known here of the recent
naval operations in that corner of the
world, although the fact is recalled that
about a year ago one of the American
gunboats cruising in those waters did
visit some of the native chieftains on
the smaller keys and asserted American
sovereignty. 1t is beneved here that
there Is no possibility for trouble grow
ing out of this incident.
The sultan of J0lo possesses both tenn
poral and spiritual power over the Mo
hammedan inhabitants, not only Of his
own group of islands, but OF the north
coast of Borneo and the adjacent islands
and the assertion Of spiritual power over
such Of the natives as live under the
British flag in Borneo and the nearby
islands may have led to the supposition
that the United States government was
improperly asserting sovereignty over
british soil
