PENSACOLA PREACHERS GREET
 NEW EREsBYTER1AN MINISTER.
At First Service, Newcomer In Evahgel- teal Circles Makes Good Impress
 sion On Congregation And His Fellow Pastors.

Pensacola, August 7.-(Special)-A union service was held tonight at the Presbyterian church in welcoming the new pastor of the church. Rev. J. $. Sibley, who preached for the first time in this city today.
 The beautiful edifice owned by the Presbyterians on East Chase Street was crowded to the portals by enthu- siastic members of the church. who had gathered for the purpose of hearing and getting an opinion of the minister who will serve them in the future. It can be said truthfully that the impress sion gleaned was nothing but the best. Rev. Sibley, who made short talk during the session. was found to be a gentleman in every sense of the word and one who Is expected to please the most exacting in the churches.
 Rev. Henry T. Johnson. pastor of the Palafox Street Methodist Church; Rev. P. H. Whaley rector of Christ Episco- pal Church; Rev. Frederick Jones, pas tor of the First Baptist Church, and Rev. w. c. Vreeland. pastor of the Gadsden Street Methodist Chruch, were in attendance, and gave the new com ing minister a welcome which he will not forget
 special song service had been ar ranged for, and this was by no means an unimportant feature of the evening.
 Rev. Sibley preached the first ser mon in this city this morning at the Presbyterian church. In spite of the indictment and threatening weather, Il was difficult to find an qunoccupied seat in the church, and the interest mani fested in the service was great

INCREASED TAX VALUES.
Muscogee County Leads All Georgia iu
 Conparative Progress.

SOmRuEutANC EHOeAeTSs Columbus. Ga. Aug. 7.-tspecial)- Columbus people are happy over the fact that the consolidated tax returns for Muscogee County show an increase in taxable values In this county of $l,- 31T,795 over last years returns. The work of consolidating the returns was completed yesterday. and as Muscogee is nearly $S0O,000 ahead of any other Georgia County that has reported its tax returns so far this year in the matter of increased returns, 1t Is pre- stunned that this county will again lead the State in respect to amount of in- crease in taxable property-something it has done vice during the past three years.
 In four years values in this county have appreciated five million dollars, due to new industrial enterprises new residences and a general application of realty values. Perhaps 1t is Muscogee s fine water power and industrial ad- vantages. perhaps 1t is the thrift of the people and perhaps it Is the proximity of the county to the State of Alabama, but certain 1t Is that this county Is breaking Georgia records in the rapid increase of material prosperity. The value Of all property in this county is now $17,593,4
 The Jordan Company is to invest $40,- 900 in nice two story houses on Rose Hill, this being one of the handsomest improvements of the year in that suburb.
 Officer Robert c. Harper one of the best known and oldest members of the Columbus police force, died yester- day The funeral occurred today. be- ing attended by many friends, and a detachment from the police depart ment. He was buried with the honors of the fraternity of Odd Fellows.

 held to await the action of the next term of the Circuit Court Judge Parkhill, upon hearing the arguments, committed the black to the county jail without bond. Judgo Landrum ap- peared for and took charge of the States interests.
 The State had a number of witnesses to substantiate tho identity of the black man. not the least interesting of which was negro woman, Phenie
 Crosby. who had boarded Carr just
 previous to the murder for which he
 Is held. This woman identified the negro in dramatic manner She told the officers that he had u scar on his elbow and an examination showed that she was eminently correct. The negro attempted to offer explanation for this but the woman was equal to ] the ocassion and further notified the court that he had a scar on his back | and that 1t could be seen if he would De made to remove his shirt. This was ordered done in the presence of the court and the tell-tale scar was found, At that the negro was ordered held. probably for the gallows
 Carr was wanted in Wilcox County Ala, for murder, and a deputy sheriff rom that State was an interested spec | tator at the hearing. This officer held warrant for the negro charging him with killing black man in that county, and had Carr have been re-
 leased on the habeas corpus writ, he
 would have been Immediately arrested on the Alabama warrant The negro
 says that he would rather stand trial
 in Alabama than in Pensacola for the crime he committed here twelve years
 ago; lie does not appreciate the idea
 memory for crime and criminals.
