ATTEMPT TO SPLIT VOTERS
New Political Party is Organized in North Caro-
lima.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 20
Especial -Josephus Daniels, the
weIl-known editor of the Raleigh
News and Observer and Democratic
Committeeman from North Carolina
discussed public affairs here on his
way 10 New York recently.
'@The latest thing in North Caro-
Ina" Mr. Daniels remarked, lis the
Broadly heralded movement to start
4 new party for the overthrow of or
gained Democracy. Conservatives is
the name given the members of the
new party, who is is claimed, have
raised 100000 campaign fun 1t
is openly stated that this new organi-
cation boasts of a membership of
thirteen, and there are prospects that
ID viii have as many as twenty-three
members before the end of the cam
qaign The names of the members
who have subscribed to the large
campaign fund is a secret in North
Carolina.
No man has yet come forward to
IDENTIFY himself with the 'Conserya-
lives though the promises has been
made that the public will soon be
aiken into the confidence Of the thir-
zen projectors.
1.-The last effort made to break
down the Democracy in North Caro-
INA occurred during the days of
Palmer and Buckner movement.
There were a number of sincere,
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-09-21

good men identified with the gold par
ty in the State, but this latest politi-
cal creation that is to sweep things
in North Carolina is not to be men
toned in the same breath. There
has been much in the Eastern papers
about this new party, which is re-
garded in the State as material wor-
thy of the humorous column"
Mr.. Daniels thinks the Democrats
in this Congress have it in their pow
er to make the issues in the campaign
next year. The nominee for the
Presidency will not be able 10 do so"
said the Carolina editor. The res
possibility is with the members in
Congress. If they will declare for
rigid economy all along the line this
winter, and make good their words by
deeds, the Democracy will have
powerful issue next year. But if the
Democrats support all the appropria-
ton measures proposed by the domi-
nant party in order to get a pittance
of the pork that is passing around,
they do nothing more than justify
Republican extravaganza The Demo
cracy in Congress needs to return to
old-time principles. A Samuel J. Ran
dali is needed
1t was a fight against a billion-dol-
lar Congress that gave us our vic
tory in 1890. 1t is time to appeal to
the people of the country on a fight
for economy in the government ser
vice"

CHANNEL MAY
STOP LUSITANIA
Fear New Cunarder Will Stick
Fast on Way Out.

NEW YORK, Sept. 90, (SpeciaD-
If the New Cunarder Lusitnaia gets to
sea tomorrow without stirring up
the bottom of Ambrose Channel,
which she formally opened when she
came to port last Friday, it will sur
prise many steamship agents and not
q few pilots. 1t is feared the ship will
stick fast on the way out She was
light when she came through the
channel last Friday, but on Saturday
She will go out loaded
The Lusitania had 1900 tons of coal
on board when she left Liverpool
September Z on her maiden trip. She
burned all of this fuel with the ex-
cepton of 500 tons and as all of the
water ballast was pumped out of her
tanks she drew only thirty-two feet,
two inches of water aft when she
entered this port
She has taken on board 1000 tons of
coal and this with the immense guam
tity of provisions necessary for TAX
ug her back to Liverpool, will bring
down her draft several feet, or pretty
close to the limit of depth in Ambrose
Channel 1t is thought she will draw
thirty-fve feet of water.
When the new channel is finished
there win be a clear depth of forty
feet. Now it has only thirty-hye feet
of water at high tide. officers Of the
ship admitted it was a job that would
require great caution.
The tugboat Nicholas is to be used
as a guide and will steam half a mile
ahead of the Lusitania to show her
the way Army officers who are fin
ishing the work of making the new
channel will go down in a special tug
to help get the Lusitania out in good
shape

TO BUILD
NEW PARISH HOUSE
TutwiIer Starts Fund BY Sub
scribing $4,000
ADVENT ELECTS VESTRY
Or. Evans, the. Rector, Is Greatly En-
couraged by the Spirit of co-oPera-
tlon Shown Among Members
of the Congregation.

The congregation of the Church of the
Advent met yesterday afternoon and
elected vestry to serve for the ensuing
twelve months, as follows:
r. II. Pearson Robert Jemison, E. M.
Tutwiler, j. w. Mcqueen, Judge Samuel
E. Greene, S. e. Thompson, DR.. e. P
Riggs, Charles Roberts, T. o. Smith, R.
A. Terrell and II. X. Miner
The meeting was well attended and all
present manifested much interest. 1t was
indeed an enthusiastic meeting, which was
naturally gratifying to the Rev. DR.. w. q.
Evans, the new rector.
The rector made a short address, in
which he pointed out some of the needs of
the parish, and among them was parish
house. Before he had finished his remarks
Major Tutwiler interrupted to say that
he would start the fund for a parish
house by subscribing 5000. This an
nouncement was received with applause,
as 1t was felt that with such start
the new building was assured.
The parish owns the property on Sixth
avenue Immediately in the rear of the
church. The modern structure standing
on this lot is being used by the st. An
drews Brotherhood. but the building will
be removed and handsome house, either
of stone or brick and stone will take its
place. The rector's plan is to have a
commodous parish building that VIII ac-
commodate the Sunday school and the
various societies of the church, including
the Brotherhood of st. Andrew. 1t will
contain library and reading room and 1t
is probable that a night school will be
established there. In other words, the
rector intends to give II an industrial
character that will greatly widen the
scope Of the Advent's practical activities.
1t will be open to the people of the
neighborbood, regardless of creed
DR.. Evans has been in charge of the
Church of the Advent only a short while.
but the attendance at his services show
a marked increase. He says that he Is
glad to come to Birmingham and that he
feels more and more encouraged in his
wrok here. He finds his parishioneers
quickly responsive and their eagerness to
cooperate with the rector makes not only
for harmony, but for spiritual influence
far reaching in its effects.

LIGHTNER TALKS
OF FRISCO PLANS
WILL LAY MORE TRACKS IN THE
YARDS AND MAKE A NUMBER OF
IMPROVEMENTS OF A GENERAL
NATURE.

A. D. Lightner. general agent of the
Frisco, has opened his offices in the Nor
ris hotel building in the office formerly
occupied by the freight and passenger
departments of the Frisco. He hopes to
get his office in shape within the next
few days, collect all the papers, letters
and files which were part of the office
when he was general agent in Birming-
ham before, and get in touch with the
situation here.
In speaking of the plans for the Frisco
in Birmingham and the conditions Mr..
Lightner said yesterday:
THE Frisco has no great plans for
Birmingham just at present, but we are
soing to do a number of small things
which together will amount to great
deal. For one thing, we will lay some
tracks in our yards at North Birming-
ham, probably lay some team tracks on
the property we own just south of the
tracks which lead to the union station
about Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets
and improve our freight house as much
as possible without its costing us too
great an amount.
Yes there Is more authority with my
office now than when | was here before,
Mr.. Lightner said in reply TO a ques-
ton, land we will have more with which
a full division transportatio ton department
here now which will be great advantage
in operating this end of the line. We
have a superintendent, trainmaster, road
way men and, in fact all the men which
are attached to Il division headquarters.
THE Frisco n2s s1nle pretty extensive
holdings in Birmingham and we are going
to Try to do with them all that lies in our
power We had expected to have new
freight house in the course of construc-
ton by this time in the heart of the city,
as was stated some time before ] left
here, but this matter has been delayed
on account of the appropriation this year
being smaller than last year.
Il consider that the experience I had
while superintendent for the last six
months was very valuable to me. | was
able to get a larger amount of eXpe
rience in the transportation department
than usually falls to the lot of a super
intendent in much longer time. I was
fortunate in that respect and this trans
portation experience l consider very val
liable to me now"

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Man Arrested for Having Calls Feet
Tied to Wagon.

One of the cruel practices that has
become common in Birmingham to which
Humane Officer Bonnie is turning his at
tention is the manner in which dairymen
tie their calves.
When bringing them to the city for the
purpose of selling on the streets the habit
is to tie them by their legs to the wagon,
and when moving around from corner to
corner the little animals trip and fall
every few feet Mr.. Bonnie intends to
put stop to the practice Immediately.
w. Baker, white man, was arrested
yesterday on the charge and he was fined
s. in police court. More of these arrests
could be made by the assistance of the
citizens, or even the members of the hui
name society. Officer Bonnie, in reply to
the complaint of citizen, stated yester-
day that every policeman has right to
make an arrest for cruelty, and it Is the
duty of people to report these violations.
