BRAVEST RESCUER
TOGET CROSS HONOR

LONDON, October 16.-(SpeciaD-
The papers publish and comment upon
as a Utopian dream long memoran-
dunn which the author, Sir Max Wahe-
liter, says he has submitted to all
the reigning sovereigns Of Europe, ad-
vocating a federation of the states
of Europe as a remedy to the existing
alarming situation involved in the
opposition of disunited Europe to
united North America.
Sir Max, who up to the present
time has been known chiefly as a
philanthropist, says he is aware from
conversations with sovereigns and
statesmen that his idea is unrealiza-
BILE, but he thinks that in no other
way can the calamity of European
war be avoided, and he hopes that
something may come from the ventil-
alton of this matter among the peo-
pie themselves.

SUIT is BROUGHT
AGAINST OFFICERS

MACON, GA, October 16.-Develop-
ments in the case of the Exchange
Bank of Macon are soon to appear and
this time the stockholders, or at
least four of them, will play au I'M
portant part.
In the order passed by Judge Z. V.
Whipple, the receivers of the Ex-
change bank are not only authorized
but directed to proceed against the
men who were officers of the bank
last year and hold them to account
for the present state of affairs.
In the petition filed in the super
ior court startling charges were
made against the officers of the bank
who had charge of the affairs last
year. Neglect. inattention to duties
and violation of state laws are alleg-
ed to have been committed.

POSTAL PLANS FOR

Sick and Death Benefits
Will Be Provided.

NEW YORK, October 16.-(Spec-
iaD-For the purpose of guarding
against a recurrence of a strike like
that of last August, the Postal Tele-
graph company is planning a Postal
Telegraph Employees Association.
President Mackay thus describes the
object of the organization:
Its object will be to secure to
the company loyal working force
and to its members employment un-
distributed by factions seeking to CO.
cree or embarrass or harass the COM
pany or it's employees. And its fur
Their object will be to render finan-
cial aid to its employees when sick
or disabled and also in case of death.
The directions in which such an as
ISOLATION may extend it's activities
for the benefit of it's members may
easily be seen. The company con-
templates that this association may
be made the means of removing To-
cal complaints by affording ready
means by which such complaints may
be properly considered and also that
it may be turned to the purpose of
self-help and the advancement of
its members, especially educationally
and materially, all of which objects
will have the hearty support of the
company"

FORESTS CAVALRY
GATHER AT MEMPHIS

MEMPHIS, TENN, Oct. 16. (Spec-
iaD Mounted and in battle array, as
in the old days when, under the stars
and bars, they followed their gallant
and intrepid leader in many desper-
ate charge, the survivors of General
N. B. Forests cavalry corps march
though the streets of Memphis to-
morrow.
Veterans from a score of States
will be in the line of march, as the
members of Forests command are
now scattered all over the country.
This is the second annual reunion of
the corps, the first having been held
here last fall. Memphis was chosen
as the permanent place OF meeting
because of the fact that it was the
home of Gen. Nathan Bedford For
rest, the greatest cavalry leader of
the. Confederacy, whose terrific charg-
es and wonderful victories were the
despair of the Union leaders. Gener-
al H. A. Tyler, the commander of the
entire corps, will have charge of the
general features Of the program,
which included, in addition to the
parade, a session devoted to speech
making and o1d-time barbecue.
Far surprising all the formal fea-
lures, however, is the spirit of COM
radeship engendered by the reunion.
Hundreds of Forests men, now re-
siding in widely separated States will
meet for the first time since the
bloody days of the Sos, and, with re-
covered youth, renew the spirit Of
old days. The reunion of the follow
ers of the dashing cavalry leader will
be continued as an annual affair in
Memphis until all have answered the
last roll call

bring their full value, and this is
one of the times. The South is
against the market, while Europe and
New England are in favor of higher
prices. Purchasers on a scale down
will bring handsome returns. Hold
ers may have to exercise great pa
thence but there was never lane
that had no turn. And when the
market does take a turn for the bet
ter it will sound the funeral bell fol

EXCAVATED HOUSE
OF 1000 ROOMS

DENVER, COLO, October 16-
(SpeciaD THE researches of the
large body of workers sent out by
the American Archaeological Insti-
tute, Washington, D. c., have been
closed for the season, and the five ex-
petitions engaged in the excavations
are now returning to the East. Ed
gar l.. Dewitt, director of the work,
who stopped here for day on his
journey back to Washington, had this
to say:
The principal expeditions have
been those of the Mesa Verde Nation
al Park, Cold; on the McElmo can
yon, and it's tributaries near the Colo
rado-Utah line, in southern Utah;
from Colorado to the Grand Canyon,
at the great ruins of Puye on the Pa
jarito Park, New Mexico, and in the
mound builders ruins in Missouri.
"The principal excavations made
by the institute this year were at the
great ruins of Puye, IS miles north
west of Sante Fe. There were ex-
cavated 100 rooms in building con-
tanning $50 rooms on the ground
floor. The building was originally
four stories high and contained about
1900 rooms. Aa a result of these ex-
cavations about 200 specimens of
pottery, stone, bone and wood imple-
ments, fabrics, basketry and SO on
were secured for the museum of the
institute.

NEGROES ARE GOING IN
DROVES FROM SUMTER
Dozens of Them Leaving
for West and Florida.

The exodus of negroes from Ameri-
Gus and the country hereabout, as well
as from adjoining counties, is rapidly
upon the increase just now, and with
in a week probably fifty others will
go from this city and vicinity to SOU
thern California and Florida.
Agents are at work here, and the
exodus is becoming general.
Already, as the Times Recorder has
pointed out, large numbers have gone
to southern California and settled, OBJ
tanning employment on farms there
or else working at trades or as house
servants.
The movement, which started a
year ago upon a small scale, has in
creased largely within the last few
weeks until a perfect tide seems to
have set in. Twenty-Five left AM
circus last week in one bunch, and
probably a hundred others are go
ing.
Roseate pictures are drawn by
those already upon the scene, and
friends left behind in Americas are
eager to get away as soon as posi-
BILE.
And it is the better class of ne
groes who are thus leaving.
Many in Americas, and in the farm
ing districts here, are selling their
property and effects and will go to
the new Ell Dorado. Down in the
Fifteenth district party of twenty
are preparing to get away and have
sold out their mules, corn, cottonseed
etc.
Here in Americas colored carpen-
tiers, store porters, cooks, drivers and
those in other callings are going.
1t is said that an emigration agent
has been quietly working here for
some time in cooperation with col
ored assistants, and the result is
that many really desirable people
are going away Prohibition and dis
reimbursement is the reason assign
ed by many.
1t is said that in one county adj
joining Sumter four hundred negroes
have already gone, or are preparing
to leave before Christmas.
Many are going to Florida to work
in the turpentine and the tobacco
farms, but the great majority are
going to southern California where
there is employment at good wages
for all who go.
The Los Angeles rate from Americas
is only $38.75, and dozens here are
digging up that amount. And it
means a great deal more to this Sec
ton, where labor is already scarce in
all lines of industry, than appears at
first blush.
The situation will command atten-
ton few months hence.
