ter serving there for twenty-six years as

Built Up Church.
From a small chapel the Rev. Keigwin
by constant work and denial has made
West Church one of the most important
in the State. At present it has a larger
membership and Sunday school than any
Presbyterian Church in Delaware. This
can be traced directly TO the efforts of
the pastor. who during his many years
has nurchured it and watched it grow.

MoRGANs FATE NOW SETTLED
Preston Man Charged With Arson to
Serve Time.

Henry Morgan, convicted of incen-
diarism in the wholesale burning of
the town of Preston and since confined
with his alleged confederate, Sidney
Harrell, in the Americus Jail for safe
keeping, must serve the sentence of
twenty years imposed upon him by
Judge Littlejohn,
The supreme court has passed upon
Morgan's case, and the verdict of the
lower court is affirmed at every point.
Following is the decision in full,
rendered yesterday:
'"Ihere was no error in overruIing
the motion for continuance, or in the
rulings as to the admission of evil
dence, or in the charges complained
of. The court fully and fairly charged
the law on the subject of confessions,
and covered all the issues raised by the
evidence or by the statements of the
defendant.
''The evidence was sufficient to es-
tablish the corpus delicti, and to COR
roborate the defendants confession OF
guilt"
After Morgan's appeal for new trial
was refused by Judge Littlejohn his
case was appealed to the supreme
court. And now it would seem that his
doom is sealed,
Since his trial and conviction Nor
gan and Harrell have been in the
Americus Jail. Harrell was put on
trial after Morgan, but the eudden ill.
ness of one of his lawyers necessitated
postponement. He will be tried a.
the October term of Webster cnurt, in
all probability.
Morgan is much cast down at his
hard lot. 1t is not known yet whether
his lawyers will make further efforts in
his behalf or let him go to the penitens
tiary to serve his sentence,

STREET is READY FOR GRAVEL
Grading of jackson is Progressing
Fast

That portion of Jackson street, be-
tween Church street and the Seaboard
passenger depot, has been brought to
a grade and Engineer Murray will be
ready in day or two to begin laying
the 800 carloads of gravel with which
the entire street is to be surfaced. This
supply of gravel will come from pit
near Montgomery, and the Seaboard
will deliver it here in ample time.
Great plows each drawn by six mules
were used in cutting down the hills on
Jackson street to grade, the work
consuming some time. When the
stop dressing" of gravel is laid twelve
inches deep the entire length of the
street and packed hard, Jackson will be
one of the smoothest and best streets
in any Georgia city.

COMPRESS IN SPLENDID sHAPI
And Ready to Handle Heavy Fall
Business,

The Americus plant of the Atlantic
Compress 90. is ready at moments
notice to light the fires in the large
furnaces and set the ponderous double
presses going. Supt. Wakefield be.
lieves in preparing well ahead of time
for the rush work of the fall season, and
already has put the plant here in the
pink of condition for business. Every
piece of machinery has been carefully
inspected, engines overhauled, the coal
supply stored, and all clerical and
manual help for the season engaged.
Supt. Wakefield shares in the belief
that bumper cotton crop is assured,
and the Americus press will be amply
prepared to handle all cotton sent
here. This press can handle 120 bales
per hour, aud put more of them in a
car than any other controlled by the
company.

GOING AFTER THE SALMON,
It Is Not the Expensive Sport in New
foundland as Is Commonly
Supposed.

According to the popular belief, sal
mon fishing is of necessity sport for
the rich alone, no man of even moder-
ate means presuming so much as to
think OF INDUCING in it, says Country
Life in America. In the British Isles
and other parts of northern Europe
this is undoubtedly true. Even in this
country and in Canada in the last few
years the salmon waters have been
taken by clubs and individuals, so that
now the fishing is restricted to the
few, but Labrador and Newfoundland
are left free and moderately accessible
to the fishing public living in the east
ern states; and improved travelling ia
cilities have made the trip to Newfound-
land a matter of ease, SO the number of
sportsmen visiting that island is in
.creasing enormously. Fortunately the
island is large-more than 300 miles
each way-and the rivers very numer-
GUS, go that it will be some time before
the country is crowded. Thus far only
very few of the most accessible rivers
have been fshed in at all Along the
east coast and the northern peninsula
are many rivers that have never known
q fisherman. At the present time these
are rather difficult Of access by land, It
is true, but by chartering small vessel
fishermen can, at moderate cost, visit
the most remote of them and be sure of
almost unlimited salmon.

pRAisE FOR THE FlLlP u
A,n.rican oovernment omci&l Says
. They Are Capable and Will
ing at All Times.

Gen. Greedy, chief signal office 0. inc
army, has reported to the secretary OF
war the complete success OF an experl-
ment. considered doubtful by many, OF
utilizing the Filipinos employed a.
cablemen in the archipelago by trans
ferr;ng them to southeastern Alaska,
where extended cable operations were
carried on by the signal corps IN the
summer and autumn Of 1903, says the
Washington Star. The United States
transport Burnside. fitted up as cable
ship, arrived at Sitka, ALASKA. July g.
1903, having about CD Filipinos In is
crew, of which about 20 were engaged in
the technical labor of cable laying ana
repairs these men were engaged in
this work until October 81, their serv-
ices extending well into the autumn ana
covering severe weather a. sea and .
dangerous sea voyage, in which the
Burnside barely escaped total destruc-
ton. II
u Lieut.. Col. James Allen, IN his eport
upon cable operations, says:
II desire to call special attention to
the Filipino crew, both those connected
with the navigation OF the ship and the
cable men. Owing to the small number
Of men the Burnside had on board and
the arduous work required from them.
they were called upon to do extremely
hard work and during all hours OF the
day. The work was, however, always
cheerfully performed by them, and in
no case during the entire trip was any
sort of punishment administered to
these men. They continually grew in
strength, and with the exception OF
slight colds from exposure they were
in excellent health throughout.
''The point desired to be made
preeminent is that these men, taken
from the Philippine islands and sent di-
'rectly into the cold of Alaska, were able
to perform all the duties required OF
them in the most satisfactory manner.
They were skillful as members OF the
ships crew, especially in the handling
of cable and the management OF boats
and picking up of buoys. i feel sure that
1t VIII be of interest to the war depart
ment to know that it was demonstrated
that the Filipino is capable.of rendering
such excellent service aboard ships even
in the extreme northern climates"
In forwarding this report to the war
department Gen. Greedy says:
in conduct, efficiency and zeal the
Filipino laborers were highly satisfac-
tory and far exceeded in these respects
the highest expectations Of their most
enthusiastic friends.
."The marked success Of the past year
has caused the chief signal officer OF
the army to engage Filipino crew for
the operations in Alaskan waters for the
coming summer"
