WOULD SPURN GIFT OF
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER
Congregational Moderator Says II
Should Not BE Accepted.

Rev. DR.. Washington GLADDEN., pas
tor of the First Congregational
Church of Columbus, Ohio, and mod
orator of the general council of Con-
g~egational churches of the United
States, in a sermon delivered Sunday
discussed the gift of 800, 900 made by
John D. Rockefeller to the American
Board of Missions. He said:
1.-The money proffered to our board
of missions comes out of a colossal
estate whose foundations were laid
in the most relentless rapacity known
to modern commercial history.
1.-The success of this, business from
the beginning until now has been
largely due to unlawful manipulations
or railway rates.
1.-THE United States government is
now engaged in a strenuous attempt
to ferret out and punish this injustice.
And the people of the United States
have a tremendous battle on their
hands with the corporate greed which
has intrenched itself in this strong
hold and have learned to use the rail
ways for the oppression and spolia-
ton of the people.
"And now, on the eve of this battle,
they are asked to accept great gift
of money from the man who more com
pletely than any other represents the
system they are summoned to fight.
~ hope they are not mean enough to
take his money and then turn around
and fight him. l hope they are not so
faithless to their obligations as to
take his money and shut their mouths
or become his apolOgists.
1--WE do not want this man S money.
To accept it would be to work con-
tempt of millions of honest men: to re-
iect it will strengthen our churches in
the affection and respect of millions
who are inclined to doubt whether the
churches love God more than Nam
mon.
"Our missions will be richer and
stronger without it than with it, and
we shall lose nothing by our loyalty
to the things unseen and eternal"

MURDEROUsLY ASSAULTED.
Physician Decoyed from Home at a
Late Hour of Night.

DR.. A. j. Logan, prominent ply
stefan residing in the Friendship
neighbOrhood, over in Sumter county,
was called from his home at a late
hour Friday night by some one who
stated that one of the doctors neigh
bors was sick and desired to be visit
ed professionally.
While driving along the road soon
thereafter the physician was murder
ously assaulted by negroes armed with
clubs and fence rails. DR.. Logan
quickly drew his pistol and shot two
or three times at his assailants, which
caused the horse to take fright and go
plunging down the road, and thereby
doubtless saved the physicians life.
DR.. Logan had not been sent for at
all, and the scheme apparently was
concocted to decoy him from his resi-
dence and rob or murder him.
Three negroes suspected of being
implicated in the assault have been
arrested.

CHAs. SALE CUT BY A NEGRO.
OVerseer on Dunn Place Had Neck
Laid Open With a Sharp Knife.

Mr.. Charles Sale, overseer on the
Dunn place, just over the line in
DOugherty county, was dangerously
wounded a few mornings ago by Percy
Frank, a negro.
Mr.. Sale had occasion to remon-
strate with the negro because the lat
ter had been beating his wife. Frank
did not take the remonstrance kindly,
attacking Sale with a knife. Mr.
Sales neck was laid open, the outer
jugular vein being severed and the
inner vein grazed, The wound
is dangerous, but it is not believed
that it will result fatally.
Officers of Dougherty and a num-
Der of volunteers from Albany and
Sasser chased the negro with dogs,
but he succeeded in getting away.
Mr.. Sale is a brother of Messrs.
Tom and Robert Sale, and is we'll
known here and about Shellman,
where he formerly lived.

NEARLY TWO TONS OF
PINS USED ANNUALLY.
Amount OF Office Supplies
Consumed by One Road.

The officials of the Atchison, Tope-
ka and Santa Fe railway system have
compiled some interesting statistics
on the enormous amount of Office sup
plies used by the employees of the sys-
tenn annually. A pin would appear to
be of little use on a railroad, yet the
Santa Fe finds it necessary to buy one
and half tons of pins every year
Where they go to nobody knows. The
pencils used in twelve months if laid
in straight line reach distance of
more than twenty-five miles. The
Santa Fe used $4,000 brooms in
1904-the new kind that sweep clean.
All old broom handles are returned to
headquarters and sold for snug sum
of money. 1t takes more than /, 1000
pen points day Gust 396, 600 annually
to supply Sana Fe employees who take
a pen in hand to write these few lines.
etc. This army of pens consumes
fifty barrels of ink, and the resultant
documents are bound together with
3D. 600 pounds of rubber bands. The
printed forms used by the wielders of
the pens would fill fifteen carloads
during the period named, Railroads
do not hold public rummage sales, but
they manage to quietly get rid of lot
of secondhand stuff in a way that
brings many dollars into their Golfers.
The Santa Fe, for example, receives
about one and a quarter million dol
lars each year as revenue from the
sale of scrap material Even the
Junk heap is not to be despised.
This is quite a respectable contribu-
ton toward the total amount spent for
supplies, which totals $21, 200, GOO an
nually. =
The locomotives on the Santa Fe
system burn 1000, 600 tons of coal in |
one year and use $500, 900 barrels of |
oil. The problem of making the
wheels go round is big one, when re-
duced to terms of fuel. The oiI-burn- |
ing engines are in Arizona and Cali |
fornia, and in that section the tracks
are Oil-sprinkled.

HAD Of COTTON ASSOCIATION VISITS DAWSON
President Johnson cf the Georgia Division Found No
Organization Here. Says Reduction VIII
Be at Least Is Per Cent.

Hon. NJ. L, Johnson, president OF
the Georgia division of the Soutnel n
Cotton Association, was ia Dawson
Friday. and while here was pleaSal
caller at The News Office
AS is well-known, the Southern Cot.
ton Association was formed Tor the
purpose of securing a reduction OF the
cotton acreage and use of fertlllz-
ers. and President Johnson seemed
somewhat surprised that no branch OF
the association had been organized in
Terrell county, and that there was
seemingly such little interest in the
organization by the people here.
Mr.. johnson saw a number OF prom
inent farmers and citizens while in
Dawson, and invited them to meet him
that night for the purpose OF taking
steps toward effecting an organization
in the county, but, The News learns,
only two gentlemen were on hand at
the appointed time.
President Johnson was very enthu-
siastic and hopeful over the work OF
the association, and was confident that
it will accomplish the end it has in
view and be of vast benefit to the
southern farmer. He stated to The
NEWS that advices from all over the
cotton belt leave but little if any
doubt that both the cotton acreage and
the use of fertilizers will be reduced
at least % per cent. He expressed
himself as believing that in Georgia
the use of fertilizers will be cut even
more than that.
President Johnson left on Saturday
morning for Cuthbert where he ad-
dressed the farmers of Randolph
county that day.
