o'clock Sunday morning at the home

The obsequies were conducted by
Rev. R. L. Bivins assisted by Rev.

of Sumter county for long number
of years, and until recently had re-
sided at his farm, two miles out of

MUST HAVE TWO GREAT FLEETS.

President Roosevelt has declared
very emphatically that the battleship
fleet would certainly sail to the Pa
cifc coast next winter. All the OBJ
stacles aroused seem only to have
increased the Presidents determina-
ton to send the ships.
There are indications that the Ad-
ministration intends to break away
from the old programme of naval ex-
tension this winter and advocate the
obstruction of at least two, and pro-
baly three, new battleships of the
newest type and highest efficiency.
Tor several years it has been the
policy to ask for only one ship a
year, the design being merely to
keep the line full, replacing the old
ships with new ones year by year,
and sending the obsolescent fighters
into reserve to go into the second line
in case of necessity and ultimately
to the scrap heap or target range. 1t
is expected, however, that the Presi-
dent will tell Congress that the time
has come when that policy can no
longer be followed. 1t has become
apparent that we must maintain
battle fleet in the Pacific and that en-
tails the creation of another fleet for
the Atlantic.
Nor will it serve the purpose to
maintain simply a squadron in the Pa
cific. Our naval strength there to be
effective must predominant over that
of Japan, which is the only Power now
maintaining any considerable naval
establishment in the Pacific. A great
deal will be gained by sending this
big fleet for its cruise, even if the
major part of it returns with in
year or two to the Atlantic, but it
will also show that to meet sudden
emergency, which is what would arise
if this country were to be forced into
war with Japan, we cannot depend on
getting fighting ships around from
the Atlantic.

HARD SHOTS AT WALL STREET.

The Bishop of London preached at
Trinity church, at the noon business
mems service a few days ago.
The Bishop, before his elevation
to the episcopacy, was an indefati-
gable worker for the redemption OF
the slums of the great city He has
looked on life in all its phases and
is broad-minded, Woodworking gen
erous, Christian soul.
But the Bishop gave his Wall street
hearers a few things to think over
if Wall street ever has time to think
of anything except schemes for the
dollar
Bishop Ingram took for his text,
Render the account of thy steward
ship, for thou canst be no longer
steward Luke, xvi, 2. The bishop
said:
NO man who is really Christian
would soil his Christian hands with
81, the possession of which he could
not justify in the sight OF heaven.
You are not your own. Nothing
that you have is your own. The man
who thinks he owns what he has in
his keeping is a mailman. This APP
plies to the boy and his pocket mon
ey and the millionaire and his mil
lions.
Stewardship would do away with
the tyranny of capital. This rise of
bitter socialism, the new terror of
Europe, is due to neglect of the ele-
mentary principle of Christian social
religion"
All the evils in the world are due
to the neglect of the Christian prin-
ciple that we are here only as custo-
dams of what we have, be it wealth
or anything else, founded on the
fact that Christ died to redeem man
and again place him in fair standing.
If city officials and government SER
wants would live up to these two
thoughts, there would be no boodling,
no miscarriage of justice and no bro
ken hearts"
If the Bishop remained in this
country he might discover it far cas-
Ter to redeem the slums than the
spectators of Wall street.

GOOD AMOUNT is GIVEN

WiSe---NdCOn Home Will Receive

METHODISTS SEND A GOODLY SUM

Americas charitable people will
send in all a goodly amount to the
orphans homes of the state, despite
the fact that Saturday was such an
Indictment day, retarding to a great
extent the work of collecting the cash
subscriptions.
Several individual subscriptions
were made Saturday, while, on ac-
count of the weather, the Baptists
will take later date for raising sub
scriptions for the Hapeville home.
Other denominations in Americas
will probably do likewise
The Nethodists raised the handsome
sum of $304.32 Sunday for the South
Georgia Conference Orphans Home
at Macon, and this goodly amount,
so much needed by this grand insti-
tuition, has already been RENTED by
the pastor, DR. Wardlaw.
Of this amount the First Methodist
Sunday school gave $12104, the
church congregation at the morning
service gave $158.65; Brooklyn
Heights Sunday school $141O, and st.
Paul's Sunday school $1O.53; total
of $30432.

Surgeon-General O'Reilly of the U.
S. Army, in his annual reports says:
This Office concurs in the opinion ex-
pressed by most medical officers of
the army, that the abolition of the sale
of beer in post exchanges has much
to do with the increase of certain in
fictitious diseases and alcoholism in
the army, by driving the soldiers to
disreputable resorts outside of the
post and beyond the control of post
authorities"

THE TROPHY STANDS FOR SPEED

In so far as it was the purpose of
the challenger to secure an agreement
for a race between boat and boat
without the complication of time al
lowance, the Philadelphia Ledger be-
lieves that the universal sympathy
of the American public was with him
But in the effort to attain that end
Sir Thomas proposed 70 build a type
of boat by no means the fastest and
most powerful that could be produc-
ed, and the New York Yacht Club was
right in refusing such terms.
It's aim is properly to maintain the
position of the Americas Cup as the
trophy which stands pre-eminently
for speed and for the utmost skill in
designing, construction, managing and
handling, and to consent to con-
test between vessels of comparative
~ insignificant power and size would
be to depart from this purpise

BURGLARS BREAK
STOREDOOR HERE
Smithwick Store is Entered Sun
day Night.

When Smithwick's gun store was
opened yesterday morning the discov-
cry was made that burglars had been
at work there. The back door was
smashed as if with an axe, and
through the broken panel the thief
had crawled in and rifed the cash
register, securing about $3.50. Moth
ing else in the store was disturbed,
the theft passing by cases filled with
costly guns, pistols and fine cutlery,
any of which he might have taken.
The cash register was opened by
touching the right keys, evidencing
the fact that the thief was familiar
with the surroundings. There is no
clue to the robbery. .

ditions at the slaughtering houses in
this city, with the view of adopting

DR.. Bond stated yesterday that he

had inspected the various slaughtering
houses, but that the task allotted to
them by council had proved TO be a
large undertaking, and that it would
be some time before the committee
and himself had decided on the proper
course for the city to pursue.
DR.. Bond states that the slaughter
ing houses visited, have not been found
III the most sanitary conditi%1, the
slaughtering rooms being covered with
blood and offal. DR.. Bond stated that
the condition of affairs now existing
would be remedied by demanding that
all offal at the Strengthening houses be
cremated.

Dr. Bond also states that he has in
mind a remedy to protect the public
from all contaminated meat shipped in
to this city from little towns in the
ne ighborhood OF Richmond, where
the meat slaughtered is not inspected
by government expert. DR.. Bond
will not divulge what this plan is at
