ALABAMIANS HELD
SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST CfTf-
ZEN or FLOMATON.
Grahams Are Charged With Entering
Florida and Capturing Negro
Fer Purpose of Holding
Him I'm PeOnaGe.

Pensacola, Fla, May 26.-(Special.)-
Although only a few OF the govern
ment witnesses wer examined in the
peonage case OF Thomas Graham and
John n. Graham, of Alabama. before
United states Commissioner Marsh here
yesterday afternoon. enough testimony
was adduced to cause the investiga-
ton TO go further.
The preliminary trial of the Graham
brothers was set for yesterday. but
after five OF the government witnesses
had testified the attorneys for the
Grahams asked for postponement,
stating that they desired to procure
other witnesses. and the case was post
poned until June 4.
The Grahams reside near Flomaton.a
and are prominent young men of that
section, coming from Georgia and en-
gaging in the turpentine and rosin
business. They are charged with en-
tering the State of Florida on June II
and forcing a negro named McCants
and his wife to return to Alabam with
them.
r. S. Mays. who Is in a similar bust
ness in Florida, was the principal wit
ness against the defendants. He told
on the witness stand that on May II.
Just before dark the Graham broth
efs reached his place in a hack and de-
manded the negro McCants, saying that
he had left their place owing them S55.
McCants came out and the Grahams
are alleged to have compelled him to
get into the hack, and they started of
with him. After going about two
hundred yards they stopped and sent
the negro driver bac kto the Mays
camp and told Mays that they wanted
McCant's wife and to send her along.
The woman went to Mays for asis-
lance. saying she was afraid, and the
latter taking his winchester rifle said
he would go with her and have the
matter settled without any further
trouble. When he reached tn point
whre the hack was standing he began
with the Graham boys.
according to his testimony, telling
them that they were doing wrong.
Their reply to him, he said was to
open fire upon him with their revolv-
ers
He leaped behind a tree and return
ed the fire with his Winchester. Dur
ing the fusilade the negro woman
leaped into the hack where her hus.
band was seated and when the Ora
hams saw this they drove ahead, con-
tinuing to fire at Mays and the latter
the shots. 1t is expected
that there will be interesting develop
ments when the case comes up in June.
Several of the government witnesses,
who are negroes, have been placed in
the county, jail for safe keeping.

BISHOP AT TUSKEGEE
METHODIST DIGNTTARY ADDRESSES
NEGRO school.
DIR. GAMBLER breaches Commencement
Sermon to students of Booker
whshinRton'n Normal and
Industrial Institute.

Tuskegee. May 20. Especial. 1.-The
commencement season OF the Tuskegee
Normal and Industrial Institute. began
to day at . O'clock when the commence
ment sermon was preached by Bishop
Warren A Gambler OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church. South, Atlanta. Ga.
Bishop Gamblers sermon was ad-
dressed directly to the graduating class,
more than one hundred In number.
Just before the sermon was preached.
DR. Washington, the Principal OF the
school. called attention to the presence
upon the platform of two prominent
citizens OF Tuskegee, Rev. Mr.. Motley
and MIR. J. A. Bilbro. both OF whom are
more than eighty years of age, and
both of whom from the very begin
ming have given the school much en-
couragement in It's efforts to elevate
the negroes.
The sermon was listened to by an
audience of more than 1900. composed
of the officers, teachers and the student
body of 1900 boys and girls ana many
visitors from the surrounding terri
tory A considerable number of white
citizens and all OF the white ministers
from the town OF Tuskegee had places
upon the platform
Bishop Gambler in his sermon part
said.
Like their divine Master. Christians
are not sent into the world to be
ministered unto, but to minister.
Thus we see from the lowliest life
on the earth to Him who sits as the
slain lamb upon the throne OF heaven
through all forms OF existence, the
law of life in the Kingdom of God Is
elf-sacrifice. And IL self sacrifice
be the law of life self Indulgence must
be the law OF death.
SELF sacrifice is also the law OF
usefulness Except a corn of wheat
fall into the ground ana die It abideth
alone, but IL 1t die II bringeth forth
much fruit" Fruitfulness in the
Kingdom is impossible to selfishness
The exaltation which comes to souls
under Christ's rule. comes like his
exaltation from self abasement and
self-renunclation.
The application of these great prin-
ciples to life is manifold. 1. Self
assertion Is unchristian and self
1t is, therefore. charac-
teristic of the Christian life that It
makes more of its DUTIES than 1t does
of it's rights.
This principle of self-sacrifice must
be observed especially by those who
have light above that of their fellows;
educated men and women must not live
for themselves but for others. Educa-
ton is not to be sought to save us from
service. but to qualify us for the best
service"
Bishop Gambler concluded with the
disposed to- congratulate the class, |
rather to call to its attention the solemn
responsibility resting upon II as men
and women qualified to help uplift
their fellows, instead of being exempt,
by education, from that service.

Country Club Contract.

The Pensacola Country Club has
awarded the contract for a handsome
and commodious club house to be built
on the bay shore, and to be completed
before the first of the coming year.
The club house will replace the one
demolished last September by the hurri-
cane. and will not be as close to the
water as the old one. but further in
land 1t will be much larger than the
old club house. and will also be more
arranged. The golf links

New Bank building.

Officers OF the American National
Bank who last week purchased the
site at the corner of Government and
Palafox streets for s95.500 are prepar-
ing sketches to be turned over to an
architect who 1t TO draw the plans of
the building. They have also deter
mined to commence demolishing the
now occupying the site on or about
November Is, when the contract will
be awarded for either a ten or twelve
story office building, with the lower
floor devoted exclusively TO offices for
the bank.
1t has not yet been decided as to the
height of the building. except that it
will be the largest office building in
Florida and not less than ten stories
in height. 1t is very probable that
ii will be twelve stories as 1t is the de-
sire of the officials of the prosperous
bank TO erect a building which will be
the finest to be erected in Pensacola
in many years.
