A PICTURE OF CONFINEMENT

With the arm of her best fellow en-
circling the back of the seat against
which she leaned, the young woman
was enjoying a ride on a Thunderbolt
car yesterday afternoon.
Her STEADY" was there with the
goods, and was looking too cute for
anything. Besides his collar and shine,
his moustache was growing some. Her
face showed contentment, and he SEEM
ed to appreciate the importance of the
occasion.
Les take "a ride on the railroad, !"
she said, as she thought of the pleas
ureS of the afternoon.
Yes, Wen ride on the incline, too If
that merry go-rounds running to-day
we'll take ride on hit too"
She was leaning forward to look
across the fields and noticed the evil
dences of growth. Looks like it would
rain" she said.
Guess it will real soon," he contrib
uted.
The girl settled back contentedly I'M
i'll she felt the protecting arm of her
escort encircling her.
With a loving touch she ogled the
young man under the chin. You're
too sweet for any use," she commented
as the performance went on.
The smiles of the passengers on the
next seat somewhat disconnected the
young man, though the young woman
either did not notice that she was the
object of the attention or did not mind

TWO HIGHWAYS
THROUGH STATE.
is MAYOR MYERS PLAN.
WOULD LIKE To SEE PLAN ADOPT
ED AND WORK BEGUN AT ONCE.

Thinks One Road should Extend
from Northern Boundary of State
Near Chattanooga to Savannah,
and the other from Augusta,
Through Macon to COlumbus-PrO-
visions Should he Made for Trolley
Cars of Which Age Is soon to He
Ushered In.
Mayor Herman Myers is still of the
firm opinion that one of the things
that will be of greatest benefit to
Georgia is a system of state roads, or,
rather, two great highways, one ira
versing the state from the northern
boundary, near Chattanooga, with a
southern terminus at Savannah. and
another beginning at Augusta, then
following a line to Macon and ending
at Columbus With such roads built
by the state, he says, the movement
for good roads will receive an impulse
that will cause every county to build
its own connections with these great
highways.
Mayor Myers understands that such
an undertaking would need much time
to complete, and for that reason wants
to see it started as soon as possible.
If the convicts cannot now be had for
such work, because of the leases that
have been made by the state, then as
soon as any are available they should
be put to work on this plan. and the
work pushed forward until such time
as the expiration of the leases will al

sequent Fastening of the work, he be-

Their Value Inestimable.
The building of such roads as he has
suggested, Mayor Myers says, would
lead to many improvements and bene-
fits, among the most noticeable OF the
improvements being the better drain
age and the improved sanitation OF
the country. They would also bring
into prominence the lands of the state,
some of the best of which now lie
away from the railroads. and are there
fore never seen by travellers, and would
mean a large immigration to the state,
something of which the Importance can
not be over estimated.
A further advantage would be that
many tourists would be attracted to
the state and like the immigrants,
could not fail to be impressed with
the splendid possibilities and advant-
ages of the state. AS the Brownlow
good roads bill in a large measure
would help in the carrying out of this
plan, Mayor Myers thinks the state
should indorse that measure.
Age of Trolley Car.
few years will usher in the age
of the trolley car for interurban travel,
Mr.. Myers thinks, and so he would
suggest that the state in building such
a system of roads as he has outlin-
ed, would do we'll to secure a sufficient
right of way on the sides as would
permit of the later construction of
street car lines paralleled with the
road. In the opinion of Mayor Myers
! street car line between Macon and
Atlanta is one of the possibilities of
the near future.

BLASPHEMY AGAINST
THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Rev. John ID. Jordan Preached
strong Sermon Mt First Baptist.
Can a man commit the objectionable
sin, was the question considered by
Rev. John D. Jordan at the First Bap
list Church last night. A large congrc-
ga tion heard clear exposition of the
question, DR. Jordan holding that at
this day such a sin cannot be commit
tfd.
AS a basis for his remarks he read
Mark 3:2s-30: Therefore 1 say unto
YOU, every sin and blasphemy shall be
forgiven with men: but the blasphemy
against the Spirit shall not be for
gwen"
He also read in the same connection
Matt. 1921: Verify, say
unto you, all their sins
shall be forgiven unto the sons of
men, and their blasphemies wherewith-
ecever they shall blaspheme: but who
scever shall blasDheme against the
Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but
is guilty OF an eternal sin; because they
said, He hath an unclean spirit"
"Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit
is the objectionable sin, or the sin that
hath never forgiveness said DIR. Jor-
Can.
What, then, is blasphemy against the
Holy Spirit? Blasphemy CT the Holy
Spirit is irreverance. Islander and mis-
representation of the Holy Spirit.
1T is held by our wisest, best and
ablest scholars that the sin that hath
never forgiveness, or Disappearing
against the Holy Spirit, cannot be COM
nlitted now. That it was only possible
in an age of miracles when the mani
fcstations of Gods power were clear
and unmistakable.
I'm this day they are perhaps correct.
But the man who can deliberately take
the name of the Trinity in vain. make
light of Gods work and the teachings
os Christ, attribute the miracles of the
bible to art. trick or device, and not
to the Holy Spirit, is nigh having COM
mitted an eternal SIM and the state of
his case is almost beyond hope.
MANY people sin so long and so much
and their consciences become SO hard
ened that they are past feeling, and
cannot be saved. There is no salvation
from any sin without repentance. Ex-
cert we repent We shall all likewise per-

FOR A LITERAL HE'LL
EVANGELIST ARGUED.
Place q Lake of Fire and Brim-
stone That Burns Forever.

stone TRat burns Forever
In the sermon on 1.-The Realities of
He'll" last night Rev. j. I. oxford, at
the South Side Baptist Church, ar
gued for literal hell The text was
taken from Matthew 25:46 And
these shall go away into everlasting
punishment; but the righteous into life
eternal"
Heaven was first discussed as the
place of the eternal abode of the
righteous. That there is a heaven is
proved by Jesus who said, I go to
prepare a place for you He Him
self assembled into heaven and was
described by one of the apostles as
sitting on the right hand of God the
Father. In his vision St. John saw
heaven, and saw it so distinctly that
he could write down even the details
of this abode of the redeemed"
He'll was then taken up. The first
point contended for was that it was
a place of real torment, the speaker
referring to Revelations, 21:S, where
hell is described as the lake which
burneth with fire and birthstone" If
this is figurative he said, then by all
the rules the thing itself is less than
the figure, as this is a principle adj
mitted by all writer's and students.
Out OF. JOIlu Sdlu lndl IL WdS ACol
and described it accurately.
The parable of the rich man and
Lazarus was then taken up duke
16:19-3D, and the actions of the rich
man brought out to show that he
had all his senses with him. Among
other things Rev. Mr.. oxford said:
THE suffering rich man lifted up
his eyes and saw Abraham There
fore he had the sense of sight He re-
sponded intelligently to Abraham and
prayed to him. Therefore he heard
and understood and reasoned. His re-
plies also show conclusively that he
had the sense OF speech. He asked
that Lazarus be sent that he might
dip his finger in water and cool my
tongue, for L am tormented in this
flame. Therefore he still had his feel
ings. Lastly Abraham said unto him,
Son, remember therefore he had
memory also and his senses were still
complete.
The suffering in the flames, the
prayers of Dives, the recognition of
the happier state of Lazarus, the de-
sire to save his brethren, all show
that there is a hell; that it is a place
| of real and fearful punishment, and
that it's flames endure forever"
At the close of the sermon five of
| the congregation rose for baptism.
This makes the total who have asked
for baptism fifteen. The baptismal
service will be solemnized tonight.
The subject of to-night's sermon by
Rev. Mr.. Oxford will be Life and
Death" The meetings at 4:30 in the
afternoon will begin again to-day.

Davis is charged with having shot
and killed Sam Nelson, another negro,
on Jan. 8. Shortly after the murder,
he left for Florida. The South Caro-
lima authorities did not know where
he had gone, but he admitted to the
man for whom he was working in
Florida that he had killed a man IN
South Carolina. The sheriff was wir
ed and he asked that Davis be held
until he could get there.
When the reply was received the
men attempted to arrest Davis, but he
ran as soon as told what he was want
ed for. AS he fed he was shot in the
thigh with a pistol, but he succeeded
in getting away. He was caught a
few days later by a deputy sheriff.
The bullet is still in Davis, but it is
not thought the wound is dangerous.
He denies having killed Nelson,
though he admits having said that
he did He says he was Just talk
ing" when he stated he had killed
him. Sheriff Graham is positive he has
the right man.

JENSEN'S BODY FOUND
FLOATING IN THE RIVER.
Because of Its Condition the Funeral
Took Place at Once.

The body of Ingerman Jensen. who
was drowned last Tuesday afternoon
about four miles below the city, was
found yesterday morning near the Ty-
bee bridge.
Decomposition had already set in and
a portion of the face had been mutilat-
ed by FISH. but there is no doubt about
the identification of the body. The
widow of the drowned man viewed the
remains 10 make the identification alb
solute
The body was lowed from the place
where dt was found TO the foot of East
Broad street, and Undertaken Goette

ever.
Mr. Jensen was drowned by the over
turning of MS skin. which was being
towed by the schooner Mile r. Bo-
harmon. The tug McCauley had the
schooner in tow. Jensen was in his
skim behind the schooner, and no one
saw the sdf when il capsized. The
pilot happened to look back and no
ticed that the skim had overturned, and
that Jensen was nowhere in sight. Inc
tug was far in advance of the schooner
and a heavy wind was blowing, SO
that d signal TO stop could not be
given.
Jensen was a native of Sweden and
was A years of age. He came TO Sa-
vannah when he was a boy. For the
last four months he has been IN the
employ of the government to tend the

FISH DIDN'T BITE.

There were quite a number of dis
appointed fishing parties at Tybee yes
terday. The fish positively and abso-

One fisherman reported catching
four croakers, but the bass and other
big fish were painfully silent. 1t was
with difficulty that bait was secured
and all in all, it was an off day for
the fishermen. Big catches were re-
ported on Saturday, and for this rea-
