PRESBYTERLANS UNITE.

The Presbyterian General Assem-
bly,, which adjourned in Des Moines,
Iowa, recently, was notable for
several reasons. OF paramount i'm
portance was the reunion of the two
great bodies known as the Presby-
terrain Church of the United States
and the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church. By the declaration of the
moderator, on May "a it was pub
licly announced that the basis of re-
union was then in full force and eff
feet. The Cumberland General AS
sembly was in session at Decatur,
Illinois, at the same time, and the
general resolution was passed by
both bodies.
Those of our readers we'll informed
are aware that the Cumberland
Presbyterians originated at great
revival over 100 years ago. 1t was
at a religious awakening in the
mountainous regions of Kentucky
and Tennessee that this new branch
of the Presbyterian Church was
brought into existence. The large
accessions to the church demanded
new ministers, who had not the time
to receive the necessary preparation
required by the Synod. As conse-
quence of this act, the Cumberland
Church was detached from the regu-

important Meeting Relative to Location of AQricu.

The board of trustees OF the state
branch agricultural college for the Third
congressional district will assemble in
Americus on or about Nov. goth, al
which time the important question OF
location for the college will, in all
probability, be determined.
The time is short, and again the
Times Recorder calls upon the citizens
of Americas and Sumter county to con.
slider the important matter.
The location of the Third district col
lege is of utmost moment.
Americus, the geographical centre OF
the district and largest city, and sum-
ter, one of therichest agricultural coun-
ties therein, should be the site of this
important agricultural institution. And
1t is within our grasp if we will but
reach out and take it.
Will our citizens let the opportunity
pass and then regret it ever after, as
they did when they declined to induce
the building of the Atlantic & Birming-
ham Railway, just to save few pal
try dollars?
That was grievOus mistake, which
Americus now recognizes.
Confronted by such an object lesson,
will we lose the agricultural college

Outcome of Election Seems
Doubtful.
CHANCES IN FAVOR OF HUGHES
At Early Hour His Election 10 Con-
cedsd at Democratic Headquarters
Though Hearst Declares He ls Elec-
ted BY 40, 900

New York Nov. 6.-Today's election
has been the most hOtly contested in
years and at this hour, 10 p. m. the
result is in doubt, although indications
point to theelection of Hughes.
A Herald bulletin states that at demo
cratic headquarters the election OF
Hughes is conceded.
Upon the other hand, members of the
state committee continue to claim the
election of Hearst by 10000 plurality
This is not credited.
News from up the state indicates that
Hughes has CARED that section, but by
a decreased vote. Hearst will have
a majority here in the city, where the
vote decides the issue.
In a statement given out tonight
Hearst declares his election by 40, 600
the same figures claimed by the oppo-
sition for Hughes. Hearst says there
is no doubt as to the result.
1t will be very late tonight before the
result is fully determined, but indica.
tions at this hour point to the election
of Hughes for governor.

Within twenty four hours after thai
the police found the lair and caught
two of the thieves.
They had sworn they would never
be taken alive, but the officers pointed
their pistols first, and there was moth.
ing to do but surrender.
One of the gang was not present al
the time and, getting wind of the cap
ture of his pals, fed to Fitzgerald.
Chief Feagin had him arrested there
and yesterday morning went after him.
And the three ''bad 'uns'' will now face
the grand jury here.
Chief Feagin says it is about the
most desperate lot he has had to deal
with in long time.
All the men are strangers here, and
a tough lot. They carried pistols OF
the best kind, punches of keys and
other evidences of their profession.
They sought to induce an Americus
negro to join them, promising him big
money if he would go along.
The arrest is an important one, and
when the three robbers are fully in
vestigated it is believed that number
of thefts can be traced to them. Chie1
Feagin thinks that negro woman
recently caught here belongs with the
gang.

AN UNklNGLY KING.

The Lion Is a Low, Crafty Brute and
Good Deal of "a Coward.
The "king of beasts" declares a writ
er upon the lions of Africa in the Met
ropolitan Magazine, is an unmttigated
nuisance. The stock owner loathes him
for the havoc he causes among the
herds. There Is no security against
him. He is always travelling. A pair
Of lions may find spot where game is
easily obtainable and make a consid-
is the whole weld.
If the lion slew only as much as he
could eat he would be less hateful, but
he will often kill four or five oxen and
content himself with devouring only
the entrails Of one.
He is a low, crafty brute, one that
takes no risks, for, unlike the leopard,
he will never leap wall unless he can
see what Is on the other side A paper
fence would keep him away from q
herd Of cattle, provided they did not
break out through terror of his growI-
ing and his smell
The lions roar Is the subject of an
other fiction. Not that he is incapable
of making the most terrible, awe in
spring sound emitted by any living
thing, but because when he Is roaring
he is harmless. 1t is the lion which
keeps quiet that is to be feared, for as
a rule the male and female work in
couples, and the one that makes the
noise is merely driving the game down
the wind to the silent partner.
In single respect only-on the score
of strength-does the lion deserve his
name of "king of beasts" He can
drag large bullock over rough ground
with the greatest ease; he can carry
mule on his back, after hoisting it there
by some strange sideways Jerk of his
head; he can leap a five foot fence with
full sized donkey gripped in his
mouth. Otherwise, speaking from a
seven years experience in the lion
country, I have no hesitation in de-
scribing the king of beasts as a fraud,
at least so far as his alleged nobility
is concerned.
His regal attributes lose some of
their glamour when one learns that the
so called monarch frequently lives for
days at a time on such plebeian food
as field rats, and the vision of the
kingly creature sitting patiently on a
fiat rock waiting for the rats to come
out from underneath is a rather un.
heroic one.

1t Is worth just as much to Americus.
1t will cost the county $15, 900, al
least, to secure the location of the col
lege. A dozen citizens here could each
contribute that amount.
The advantages of such an institution
aro too numerous to e given, and
Americus should have it.
But Fitzgerald, Cordele, Perry and
other towns are in the contest for the
college, and Americus will have tC
measure up financially if we expect tc
win. Surely county worth four lol
five millions Of dollars can easily give
$15,O 900 for college.
AS stated above, the board of eleven
trustees will meet here about the goth
inst. In the meantime, subscription
lists have been opened at the four
Amerieus banks, where citizens OF
both tow and county can call and

If Sumter loses this prize she will
have only herself to blame, and the
regret will be loug lasting. Don't wait
to be called upon. You know the i'm

BAD BUNCH OF CROOKS
IN JAIL IN AMERICUS
Highway Robbers are Caught by PoIice-A Gang OF
Desperadoes Thus Run to Cover.

The Americus police force has just
corralled about the worst gang OF
h1ghwaymen and robbers rounded up
here in long while, and if the entire
trio of blacks do not wear penitentiary
stripes as the result of their operations
here tt will indeed be a surprise.
Chief Feagin harpooned the third one
OF the bunch yesterday, locating him
at Fitzgerald, where he fed the night
before the arrest here oftwo others of
the bad galg with the guns.
And such bunch of desperadoes has
rarely 'graced" the jail.
The bunch of three highwaymen. as
such they seem, showed up in Ameri-
Gus the night of the last circus here.
On that night they boldly entered the
store of negro on North Lee street.
held him up at the point of pistols and
proceeded to rob the store leisurely.
The cash drawer was wrenched off
and, with its contents of coin, carried
away and looted.
Since that time the gang remained in
hiding here while the police looked
for them diligently. 1t was impossi-

Sunday afternoon they sailed forth

CORRUPTION CHARGED
TO TOBACCO COMBINE
Golfers Weekly Buys Actiole
to Prove Bribery.
EVIDENCE is BEING SUPPRESSED
Candidate Moran, of Massachusetts,
Declares Golfers Has Refused to
Publish Documents for Fear of In
JurIna Republican Party Tuesday.

Boston, Mass. Nov. 5.-District
Attorney John B. Moran, sent a let
ter to District Attorney William T.
Jerome, of New York, Sunday in
which he stated that he was informed
by State Senator A. D. Hughes, of
Michigan, that there is in the posses
sion of Golfers Weekly evidence in
the form of original documents, let
ters, kilograms and secret codes
which tends to show that an organized
method of legislative corruption is
practiced by the so-called tobacco
trust throughout the country.
The letter follows:
Il am eredibly informed by one A.
D. Hughes, formerly a state senator
of Michigan, that there is in the pos
session of the proprietors of pub
lication by the name of Golfers
Weekly, having it's usual place of bus
mess in New York city, evidence in
the form of the original documents,
letters, telegrams, secret codes and
the translation thereof, some copies
of which now have and which I ap-
pend herewith for the purpose of iden-
gamble, systematic and practiced
by the so-called tobacco trust through
out the country.
II am informed that some of the
documents, copies Of which I do not
have, tend to show that several bills
affecting the interest of the said to-
bacco trust, were defeated at the cap
ital Of this commonwealth at the last
session of our. general court (Massa-
chusetts legislature) by practices
which are a part of this systemat-
ic scheme. / am informed that the
proprietors of. the said Golfers Week
ly have purchased the evidence for a
large sum of money under contract
to publish the same not later than
ten weeks after the first day of Au-
gust; that the last day for publishing
the same has expired; that the said
Golfers Weekly has refused to pub
lish the same, according to contract.
Il am further informed that Col
lier's Weekly is delaying publication
Of this evidence in violation of it's
contract, until after the election, lest
1t should have an injurious effect up
on Republican candidates on election
day.
"Therefore, | respectfully request
you to obtain the same evidence and
transmit to be forthwith, in order that
L may begin an immed ate inquiry to
such acts occurring in my jurisdiction
as may be disclosed by an examinat-
ton Of the said documents
In making public the letter, Mr.
Moran also gave to the press copies
Of many letters, kilograms and codes,
one letter being from Hughes
Hughes claims that he bought a
factory in Marion, Ind, from State
Senator o. A. Baker, and in the fac
tory Mr. Hughes found a desk, which
he asserts was full of correspondence
and documents revealing certain
transactions with the American To-
bacco company.
Hughes states in his letter that he
endeavored to interest President
Roosevelt and Governor Hanley, of
Indiana, but was unsuccessful. He
then sold the documents to Golfers
under contract to be published Oct
last.

Photo Amateurs a study.

One of the most interesting places in
New York to study human nature is al
a counter in a photographers shop
where the customers come to get anna
teur photographs they have had devel-
oped and printed The anxiety they
display to get the products of their
"shots'' would seem to be out of all
proportion to the results, when you
catch a glimpse of them, and their dis
appointment if the prints are not ready
is almost as keen, apparently, as if
some important business transaction
had fallen through. And when they do
get the prints their faces are even
more interesting. The satisfaction of
these amateur photographers over a set
Of fairly good pictures is absolutely
idiotic, and their dismay at a lot of
failures is tragic. The frankness of
these exhibitions is not the least inter
esting phase of the whole thing.-New
