Hon. G. p. Walbridge,
Republican Candidate for Governor
A Good Man to Vote for Next Tuesday,
Threlkeld. d.RowIand.

L. j. Ihrelkeld, OF Brooktield, ant
Miss Mayme Rowland, of Laclede
were married at the home of tn
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. L. I
Rowland, last Wednesday evening
November l, 1904, at $50 o'clock, tn
Rev. G. G. Hatcher, of the Baptis
church, officiating.
The bride is the eldest daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Rowland, and is an &C.
complished and lovable young lady
The groom, late of the Standard Sew.
ing Machine Co., Office at Brookfeld,
has just accepted position with the
Geo. Darling Furniture and Under,
taking Co., of Alliance, Neb.
The beautiful country home, half
mile west Of town, was ittingly deco
rated for the occasion, and the elegant
wedding supper furnished no mean
part OF the evenings enjoyment.
Ouly the family and immediate rela,
tives were present. May this happy
couple live long and have just enough
clouds to make for them a glorious
sunset. They leave at once for their
new home at Alliance, Neb.
Mr.. Threlkeld is an undertaken. A
charivari crowd came out from town
to undertake to take the undertaken
out, but the undertaken did under
take to show the undertaking-takers
that the undertaken wasn't to be taken
by the undertaking-takers. So reso-
lutte was the undertaken that the un-
dertaking-takers were shown that the
undertaken was not taken by the
undertaking-takers. Mused the un-
dertaker: It's better to be an under
taker and only undertake to take
what an undertaken can take than be
undertaking-takers and fail when un-
dertaking to take an undertaken out.
So the undertaking-takers had to un-
dertake to take, themselves back to
town without taking any of the under
takers takings-or treat-while the
did undertake to take a
nap, and wonder if the undertaking.
takers will ever undertake to take
another undertaken out.
Mr.. Threlkeld just failed to re-
spond to the boys call-that's all.

GROWING IN INTEREST.
The Revival Meetings at the Presbyterian
Church Being Successful.

The revival meetings that are being
held at the Presbyterian church are
gro wing in interest and the indica-
tions now are that the house will soon
be entirely too small to hold the peo.
pie. Mr.. Van De Venter, the evan
gelist, is forceful speaker, and with
the use Of the blackboard and stereop-
ticon, his services are very impressive.
He resorts to nothing that is sensa.
tional, but breaches the old-time gos-
pei, using carefully selected pictures
to express and impress the solemn
truths of the Bible.
Mr.. Van De Venter is one of the
regular evangelists employed by the
evangelistic committee of the general
assembly of the Presbyterian church,
U. S. A.
For number of years he has been
we'll known throughout the world as
a hymn-writer. His beautiful SONGS
are familiar here and are sung wher-
ever the English language is spoken.
He began his evangelistic career
about fifteen years ago and has work.

nomination was impossible.
"Folk now says it would have been
child's play for him to have attempt
ed to dictate to the convention whom
it should nominate. Then why did
he 60 through the horse play of pre-
tending before the convention that he
would prevent, if possible, the nomin.
alton Of machine men? l ask you, 1
ask every fair-minded man, where is
Mr.. Folks boasted opposition to the
democratic machine.
"Read the Folk papers prior to the
democratic state convention and see
what they and Folk thought of Har-
ry Hawes. They charged Mr.. Hawes
with being the leading spirit of the
democratic machine of St. Louis.
They charged him with organizing
gangs of repeaters and thugs who
went to the polls and voted early and
often, blocked the polling places SO
that respectable people could not cast
their ballots for Mr.. Folk, and beat
and assaulted all who dared to remon-
strate. Mr.. Folks papers, his friends,
and Mr.. Folk himself, openly and re-
peatedly made these charges. Harry
Hawes and the Jefferson club were
denounced by every supporter of Mr..
Folk on the stump, in the pulpit and
through the press. Folk is nominal
ed. The convention adjourned. Mr..
Hawes makes speech in which he
says that he will make every effort to
elect Folk. What does Folk say?
He says that he is very much graft
fed to know that such splendid Or
ganizer as Mr.. Halves and such a
splendid organization as the Jefferson
club is supporting him.
"Organizer of what? When he op-
posed the nomination of Folk, he was
an organizer of thugs and 1epeaters.
What is he now? suppose Mr..
Folk would have US believe that he is
al organizer of Sunday schools and
Christian Endeavorers, and that the
Jefferson club is civic righteousness
league for the propagation and cult
vation of honest ballots and fair
counts"
Taking up national issues he made
4 strong, convincing argument in
favor of the Grand Old Party that
met with an enthusiastic response
from the audience.

CURRlE TO BE TRIED
FOR KIDNAPPING TODAY.
Case Against Him the First on SUI
periOr Court Docket.

Case Against Him the First on SUI
perior Court Docket.
The case of the state against D. f.
Currie, charged with kidnapping 15-
year-old Celeste Creighton, will be the
first case to be tried this morning in
the Superior Court The state will be
represented by Acting Solicitor General
E. H. Abrahams and Attorney Simon
N. Gazan will assist him, representing
Mrs. Creighton. Messrs. Travis & Ed
wards will appear for Currie.
The cases promises to bring out some
developments of a sensational nature.
The characters of both the plaintiff and
the defendant will probably be attack
ed. Both sides have secured corrobo-
rative evidence of statements made by
witnesses at the hearing before Justice
Hohenstein and letters will probably
be introduced that passed between Ce-
leste and Currie.
The other cases on the docket are of
minor interest There is one case for
Sunday liquor selling, one for assault
with intent to murder on Kollock
Helmy, several for burglary, larceny.
and larceny after trust, and one for
attempted criminal assault The ma
jority of the cases are of minor inter-
est.
If an indictment of the Thunderbolt
managers for Sabbath violations is re-
turned by the grand jury, their cases
will also probably be heard this week
The court will probably adjourn for the
summer shortly after the close of the
criminal business and the disposal of
several civil suits that are yet hang
ing.

DRUNKEN PRISONER
KNOCKED DOWN TURNKEY
Secret Danger Signal at Police Sta
ton Used for First Time.

Secret Danger Signal at Police Sta
ton Used for First Time.
For the first time the secret call
system that has been installed at po-
lice headquarters between the SER
geants Office and the station house
was needed last night. James Craw-
ford, drunken negro, attacked the
other negro prisoner with whom he
had been placed in a cell and knocked
down Turnkey Christian when he tried
to separate the fighters.
The turnkey managed to make his
escape from the cell and press the
secret button that rings a danger sig
nal in the sergeant's office. Immedi-
ately two other officers rushed to the
station house and Crawford was over
powered after a hard struggle. 1t
was all the three men could do to
conquer him.
Crawford had been arrested by Pa
trolman Broom for being drunk He
did not appear to be in a mean tenn
per and was put into a cell with an
other negro In a few minutes the
turnkey had his attention attracted
by a commotion in the cell and he
found that Crawford had the other
negro down on the floor beating him
severely. When the turnkey went in
he was given the same medicine. Had
it not been for the alarm system the
negro would probably have seriously
injured some one.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE MANEUVERS

Opinion of Expert That Troops VIII
Not Be Under Regular Army Rules.
For the convenience of officers of
state militia the War Department mas
issued in pamphlet form the provisional
Instructions for maneuvers at Manas-
sas.
In addition to a general descrip-
ton of the maneuvers and the field
there are chapters on programmes of
instruction, duties of umpires, effect
of weapons, fire losses, rules for tacti-
cal exercises, rules for the treatment
OF private property and miscellaneous
provisions.
For the two camps of blues and
browns, the senior umpire of the for
mer will be Col. Jacob A Augur and
for the latter Col. Edgar T. Steever.
Careful instructions are given regard
ing private property.
One question which has been discuss
ed freely among the state militia is the
exact status of the state troops in the
matter of being under the rules of the
regular army during the maneuvers
On this point Col. E. E. Britten, N.
G., MY, says:
"Organized militia taking part in
joint maneuvers are not mustered into
the United States service, and infrac-
tons of discipline cannot be punished
by federal authority, but there remains
law enough to cover such cases. To
speak of mutiny on the part of state
TROOPS seems absurd, but if United
States pay and subsistence were with
drawn and a body of state troops sent
home in disgrace for such a cause,
they would be likely to suffer a moral
punishment through the stigma of dis
bandment and public reprobation at
the hands of their neighbors compared
with which the corporal punishment
of the cato -nine- tails considered nee
essary in the days of the great Freder-
lex and of George the Third would
seem insignificant"
In newspaper article Col. Britten
further holds that the Governors of
the various states have authority over
their troous even on the territory of
another state.

SUNDAY VIOLATIONS
WILL BE DISCUSSED
BY Superior Court Grand Jury This
Afternoon.


It was positively stated yesterday
afternoon that the purpose of calling
together the Superior Court grand jury
this afternoon was to take up the
question of Sabbath violations at
Thunderbolt. The members of the com .
m. ttee from the Ministerial Association
that investigated the matter will be
summoned this morning to appear be
fore the grand jurors and give their
testimony.
Should an indictment be returned it
will he under that section of the
code which makes it a misdemeanor
for a person to continue his daily Oc-
cupation on the Sabbath day 1t is
COntended by the ministers that the
daily occupation of the Thunderbolt
management is continued in all re-
spects on the Sabbath as on any other
day of the week. Therefore they ask
an indictment.
1t is probable, that in case an indict-
ment is returned, that the cases made
against the Thunderbolt people will be
tried this week. This is the last Grim
inal session of the court previous to
adjournment before the beginning of
the new term. If the cases are not
heard at once the ministers who have
secured the evidence against the man
agement will be absent from the city
on their vacations and the cases would
fall through.
Speculation is rife as to whether or
not an indictment will be returned.
Those who are supporting the Minis
terial Association in their crusade for
an inviolate Sabbath are confident that
the grand jurors will have no way in
which to escape returning an indict-
ment. The other side, however, is just
as strong in the belief that no indict-
ment will be returned. and that even
if one should be that no conviction
before a petit jury can be secured.

CHARGES MALICIOUS, SAYS

TeIfair County Accounts Were in
Better shape Than Usual.
Mr.. Louis Rawlins, tax collector for
Telfair county, was in the city yester-
day. Mr.. Rawlins was recently charged
with being behind in his accounts with
the controller general, the charge ema-
mating from Atlanta. Mr.. Rawlins trav-
els out of Savannah during the season,
and yesterday was quite willing to tell
his friends in this section of the coun-
try that the charges were entirely err
roneous.
1T was done through malice" said
Mr.. Rawlins. land there was absolute
ly no ground for the statement sent
out.
1T was claimed that l was behind
a considerable amount in renting for
taxes. 1 have just returned from At
lanta, where l paid up with a sum
more than $1,000 less than it had been
reported 1 was behind.
The fact is that a large majority
of the tax collectors of the state are
probably behind in their remittance.
This is nothing remarkable or in any
way unusual Last year at this time
1 was further indebted to the con-
troller generals Office than this year.
It is not even contemplated that at any
time which might be selected during
the year that the tax collectors must
be even. When called on and also at
stated periods they square up their
accounts.
THE matter has been of great an
noyance to me, as to the casual reader
it would appear that l was really be-
hind in my accounts and that steps
would have to be taken against my
bondsmen. all of which was as far
from the truth as could we'll be-"

WOMAN STABBED MAN
WHO HAD CUT HER,
Negro Went Into Commissions After
Being Cut Yesterday.

For revenge Lula wilkins, a negro
woman, stabbed Joe Rivers, a negro,
yesterday morning about 4 o'clock.
Just a week ago Rivers had cut the
woman. and she waited her chance to
get even. The stabbing took place at
No. "a Perry lane, east of Randolph.
At the time 1t was not thought that
Rivers was badly hurt. but a few hours
later he began having commissions No
report of the stabbing had been made
to the police. but as soon as he be-
gan to have the commissions he thought
he was going TO die and asked to have
the woman arrested. Patrolman Laird
caught her. DR.. Bugg, the colored city
physician, attended the negro, and
says he is in no danger.

ELECTRIC METERS RUN
SLOW INSTEAD OF FAST.
Says Manager Nash in Speaking of
Inspections System suEEested.

inspection system Suggested.
Manager L. R. Nash of the Savannah
Electric Company says an inspection of
electric meters by the city, as has been
suggested, will require the services of
skilled man and extended testing ap-
paratus. Mr.. Nash says he knows of
no city where city inspections are in
practice and he is satisfied that the
plan is not practical.
IF practical" he said, "cities would
have taken hold of the matter long
ago"
Mr. Nash says such a plan would be
quite an expense to the city. A test
ing laboratory would have to be es-
tablished, he says. Nine out of every
ten electric meters probably run slow.
He says the general impression that
meters get to running faster than they
should is wrong. While there is not
a very great percentage of loss, he says
almost every meter will begin run
ming slower from the very day il is
put in.
Mayor Myers says he thinks the mat
ter is worthy of investigation. He has
not made up his mind about the mat
ter yet, but says he is glad Alderman
Garfunkel is looking into IL.

JEWS LIFE AS
CHRISTIAN MODEL
SERMON BY REV. CHESTER.
STORY OF ABRAHAM ABOUT TO Of
FER ISAAC TAKEN AS HIS TEXT.

Had the Fathers Hand Been Per-
mitted to Fall God Would Have
Been a Murderer, but This Could
Not Be-Remedy for Sin Sought
Through All Ages-SO Many Young
Men Away from Home Are Per-
uniting Sin to Wiring from Their
Life All That Is Pure.
Learning From a Jew How to Be
a Christian" was the theme of Rev. o.
B. Chester at the Wesley Monumental
Church last night.
Abraham was the Jew whose fife was
made the basis of the sermon, the
speaker reading the story of the COM
mand to sacrifice Isaac on the altar.
Abraham loved his son deeply" said
the preacher. THE greater a man is
the most desperately he can love.
Its an awful thing to offer up our
boys and girls fer our sins, but boys
and girls are literally dying now for
the sins of their parents all over this
broad land.
Everything that Abraham had ever
learned about God was contrary to
this thing which he was ordered to do,
and contrary to all of his sense of love
and of morality.
Now you have the picture of a man
standing on pure faith. And you see
how it all turned out or would have if
had read on.
God Would BE Murderer.
IF God had not stopped Abraham's
hand right then God himself would
have been a murderer. An unspeaka-
BILE crime would have been committed
and God would have been the author
of it. Well could Abraham afford to
trust-for God had to come.
But such triumphs are not confined
to Abraham's time. Men are to-day
triumphing like Abraham did. Men like
Job to-day have had their property
swept away and their families taken
from them, and they themselves on "a
bed of disease. The devil has come to
them and tempted them to curse God
and die and still they have been 10y
al, never questioning that God is good
and that He will do right.
1T was not an uncommon thing for
the heather at that time to offer their
own CnllQren IN SacrlnCS. Men have
tried to conquer sin, have looked every
where for rescue from sin and have
found it nowhere. And amid the aw-
full sting men sought to expiate their
sins by burning the dead bodies of
their children.
Dying on Altar of Sin.
But to the application to ourselves.
Sin has done its awful work in this
world. 1t tears my heart to think of
how many boys are away from their
mothers, just as Isaac was. All over
this land there are mothers who think
their boys are doing right, while over
yonder he is dying on the altar of sim
Sin is wringing all that is pure out of
his life.
Il am thankful for the secrecy be-
tween me and God. If some of you
heard my prayers you would not want
me to preach to you. exhort you to
do just what God would have you do.
He will lead you by the hand and we
needn't be afraid of the storms of this
world.
Boys, when you leave your home
you had better put your hand in God s
and let him lead you. What insignifi-
cant lives most of us lead, compared
with the glorious possibilities.
God grant that every young man
and young woman in this house will
consent for God to lead them"

ODD FELLOWS HELD
FUNERAL SERVICES.
At Grave of Alfred o. Labiche in
Laurel Grove Cemetery.


The funeral of Alfred o. Labiche
was held yesterday morning at II
o'clock from the home of his parents,
No. 81 York street, east. 1t was at
tended by Golden Rule Lodge of Odd
Fellows, of which the deceased had
been member, and by many of his
friends and former fellow employees.
The only services were conducted at
the grave, as the deceased had HIM
self requested by his lodge of Odd
Fellows. The floral offerings sent by
the lodge, by his fellow employees at
the Morning News, and by the many
friends of the family, were particu-
larly handsome. Among. the most
beautiful were two large floral pill
lows. By his faithful devotion to duty
and by his sunny nature Mr.. Labiche
made for himself a wide circle of
friends who mourn his death.
