FROM DOWN

Telegraph News by Direct
Wire from All Over
Indiana.

TndianapolIs. Jan. 29.-Inasmuch as
the officers OF the State Life Insurance
company refused to comply with the
order Of John Billhe1mer, auditor of
etate. to appear at his Office for oral
examination into the affairs Of their
company, the examination, which was
announced last week to be conducted
yesterday, was not held. Auditor Bill
heimer's order requested the insurance
company officers to appear at his Office
at 10 a. m. yesterday. No one had APP
peared at that hour and nothing was
heard from the insurance company I'M
til five minutes later, when Auditor
BiIlheimer was called to the tele-
phone.
What Was Said Through the Phone.
'sThis is Andrew NJ. Sweeney, presi-
dent Of the State Life Insurance COM

ed by yourself. We are prepared to
be examined, but must insist that the
examination be held here in our COM
pany's office, If it is to be held at

State Sort of Hesitates.
Auditor Billheimer acknowledged the
receipt of the telephone message, but
did not volunteer any information as
to what the state might do to break
tho deadlock that existed between 10

announcement of Sweeney was com
municated to Governor Hanly and to
James w. Neel, member Of the spe-
cial insurance investigation committee
who was to conduct the examination
for the state, but neither Of these was
prepared to say what the state might
do.

coNsTARLEs TAKE PISTOLS.
That Is, If 1t Happens To Be q
Good Gun.

That Is, If 1t Happens To Be a
Good Gun.
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 22.-Accord-
ing to reports from sheriffs over the
state, magistrates are paying no at
tention whatever to the new statute
providing that the weapons Of persons
convicted Of carrying same concealed
shall be turned over to the sheriff of
the county and publicly destroyed.
The statute in question has been
in force since the LIST of October,
but it Is doubtful If more than doz-
en- weapons have been delivered for
destruction in the entire state. The
sheriff of Kinds county reports that
he has not received a solitary pistol
or other deadly weapon for this pur-
pose, yet it Is certainty that scores
Of persons have been fined for carry
ing concealed weapons since the law
went into effect.
AS rule, the constable who ar
rests a pistol-toter confscates the
weapon, and, If 1t happens to be a
good one, he converts it to his own
use. Should 1t be an unreliable gun,
he. sells it to some individual who
forthwith becomes a pistol-toter.
Unfortunately the new statute does
not prescribe a penalty for officers
falling to deliver weapons for destruc-
ton, and while the penalty clause is
lacking, the law is not likely to be
enforced.

GOING TO CLOSE up
LIST IN FEW DAYS,
Campaign of Association Is
Nearly Over.
ERECTION OF GREAT BUILDING
Assured in Amount Already Sub
seribed Committee Has Raised $751;
2o2 for the Proposed Y. NJ. c. a.
Building In Americus.

The success that the building com.
mittee of the Y. M. G. A. is having in
raising funds for the Association build
ing is becoming the talk of the town.
and it is gratifying in the extreme to
see such public spirit manifested there
in. 1t has been years since the people
so universally endorsed such public
enterprise.
And the association is due the thanks
of the business men of Americas, be-
cause it has demonstrated to the public
that the metropolis of Southwest Geor-
gia is equal in push and enterprise to
any city in the state.
But the business management and
enthusiasm which has made this cam
paign one of success is but character
istic of this great organization which is
for young men and is full of the vigor-
Gus strong young blood which is dar-
ing great things and doing greater
things.
These building campaigns have been
carried on in a number of cities with
such enthusiasm that $4,794, 800 has
been pledged for new buildings during
the last year. And the people are be-
ginning to realize as never before that
the Christianity of America has a great
loving heart and will respond literally
to the call to help save young men.
And this is what the Young Mems
Christian Association is doing.
Rev. B. A. Abbot recently said about
the great Y. M. G. A. building cam
paign in Baltimore in which $511, 477,O0
was secured in thirty days. This is
the greatest revival Baltimore has ever
had
1t was a revival of solid Christian
work. The newspapers herald it as
the greatest in Baltimore history.
The Sun says ''The Y. M. c. A. has
established record for hustling which
is without parallel in Maryland. The
achievement stands as the greatest
monument to Baltimore enterprise and
public spirit. It is also evidence of the
stronghold the Association has upon
the people. "
Can the people Of Americas become
enthusiastic over any grander or more
glorious movement than this enterprise
to develope Christian manhood.

NEGROES Are ArmIno themselves.

Montgomery, Ala, Feb. 22.-Tn
the senate Thursday Mr.. Hinson read
a letter from Lowndes county stating
that negroes of the black belt were
arming themselves with winchester
rifles, and fears of trouble were felt.
Mr.. Hinson was at loss to unders
tand 1t. In discussing bill to pre-
vent carrying pistols, Senator Reese
said that 1t would be the best thing
ever known for his county if some re-
spectacle citizen was hanged for muir
der, which however, he did not ex-
pect to see though the negroes are
rarely ever allowed to get away af-
ter such crime.

FEW sALEs HELD IN AmERlcus
Stock Cotton in Local Warehouses
Gets Low.

Amertcus cotton buyers still pay
eleven cents for the best grades of the
staple, but as there is little of ''the best
to be had, transactions are few. One
house reported yesterday the sale of
several small lots at eleven cents. Stocks
IN Americas are running low, and the
total now will scarcely exceed fifteen
hundred bales. Practically all of this is
upon the market, and holders are quite
anxious to sell at or around eleven
cents. Receipts at local warehouses
have ceased long since, and the sale of
the 1880 bales now held here will wind
up the crop.
