PREACHERS MAKE A VIGOROUS KICK
Oppose People Going to Parks on
Sunday.

After Atlanta ministers of seveTa
denominations, at their weekly meet
ings have denounced Sunday opening
at Ponce de Leon Springs, the evange
Iical ministers, body of all the minis
ters, have met and declared war upor
the pleasure resort, that is as regard:
its operation on Sunday.
Beginning this week a crusade will
be started and the church leaders asked
to JOIN with their pastors.
The movement is headed by Rev
White, pastor of the Second Baptist
church, who is chairman of the law
and order committee both Of the Evan
gelical Ministers and Baptist Minis
ters' Association.
He takes the position that if the
people will stand for the operation OF
Ponce de Leon on Sunday they should
that DR.. White is an enthusiast on the
subject of baseball, the statement is
very significant.
Plans tor the crusade will be forme ed
during the week. Chief Jennings and
Sheriff Nelms will be called on to
assist the ministers. They will visit

enforce the law regarding amusements
The park is open on Sunday merely

in FAVOR OF A BONDISSUE
Grand Jury Wants the Roads Worked and COLLEGE
Completed.

Sumter county will shortly issue
bonds to the amount of one hundred
thousand dollars for public improve
ments and utilities, if the recomenda-
tions of the Grand Jury to that effect
should be adopted.
This point is to be determined by the
County Commissioners, and that body
referred to the voters by of the cOun-
ty at the ballot box.
The Times Recorder believes the is
sue will lie voted overwhelmingly
when such election is ordered.
C1The recommendation of a bond issue
was embodied by the Grand Jury in its
general presentments, the amount thus
suggested being 100000. Other de-
tails were left for the County Commits
sioners to determine.
This refers to the length of time the
bonds will extend, and the interest
rate thereupon.
The purpose suggested by the Grand
Jury is to expend half the amount aris-
ing from the sale of the bonds upon the
public roads of Sumter county, and the
remaining half upon the agricultural
college.
Both are subjects of deepest interest

ELECTRIC LINE is ASSURED
No Doubt as to Building of Macon AmerCuS &
Albany Line.
ALL ARRANGEMENTS ARE NOW FULLY COMPLETE
And Construction Work viii Be Started Within the Next Thirty
DAYS, it is Said.

The Macon, Americus and Albany
Electric Railway S fully assured. II
any doubt upon this point existed ii
was dispelled at a meeting of those
interested in the enterprise a day or
two ago at Macon, when it was an
nounced officially that the construction
of the railway was an assured fact be-
yond doubt.
And Americus rejoices therein, as
will the citizens of all towns and
others along the proposed route.
For the Macon, Americus & Albany
Electric Railway is going to prove a
mighty factor in the general and ma
terial development of southwestern
Georgia, and in numerous ways.
1t establishes trunk line from AL
bany to the State capital, affording
rapid and cheap transportation fac
ilities. Its policy will be to build up
and develop the section traversed,
establish manufacturing enterprises
and promote the growth of this
section.
AT the meeting held in Macon a day
or two ago it was announced that the
office force of the Macon, Americus &
Albany Electric Railway Co. have
about completed estimates, showing
the project to be fine proposition. 1t

to the people of Sumter.
Already the people of the county
have seen just enough of good roads tC
appreciate their value and create a de.
mand for still better highways and
more of them. Every citizen of the
county is in favor of good roads.
But they cost money, as does every
thing else that is worth having, and we
must pay for them.
And bond issue for the compare
lively small amount proposed will
place the burden equitably upon all
and SO light will it be that it will not
be felt at all in comparison with the
great benefits derived.
Sumter county is in excellent condi-
ton financially, and such bondss issue
would increase the tax rate in only
the slightest degree.
The recommendation of the Grand
Jury relative to the proposed bond is
sue will have the immediate attention
of the County Commissioners, who will
arrange the necessary details and order
the election therefor.
And citizens of town and county will
cordially endorse it.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-06-07

seems probable now that work will
begin on construction within thirty
days.
Assurances that the necessary funds
are provided gives confidence to the
promoters that all is we'll with the en-
terprlse. Electric railways have been
marvellous developers wherever built,
and will prove great factors in Geor-
gia's prosperity.
This information we'll be hailed with
delight in Americus.
The city council and citizens of
Americus generally have exerted
every effort towards the encourage
ment of this monster enterprise, re-
alizing what it means for this city and
section.
And now with the completion of tue
survey comes the official announce
ment that plans presented have been
accepted and the enterprise is fully
assured. The capital required has
been secured, and this splendid trunk
line from the mountains of north
Georgia to the fertile fields of this Sec
ton will be built at once.
Americus halls with enthusiastic de-
light the foregoing OF this great link in
her material advancement and COM
mercial prosperity.

WOODS NOT GUILTY
HITTING THE PARSON
Member of Bethesda in
Court.
CHARGED WITH BITING Dominic
Bethesda Again in the LimeIlght With
the Preacher and Chief Deacon
as Witnesses Against
Brother Woods.

Bethesda Baptist church lined up good
and strong at the courthouse yester-
day to hear the evidence in the case
against one of the brethren, Thomas
Woods. who was charged with assault
upon Parson Latimer.
The case bristled with interesting
features and the entertainment was
well worth the hour devoted thereto,
especially for the Bethesdarines.
Just now the church is keeping as
much in the limelight, really, as did
Big Bethel few years ago when its
numerous parsonic rows were refereed
at the courthouse.
In the trial yesterday Brother
Woods was charged with assaulting
and battering Parson Latimer at the
shOeshOp of Chief Deacon Sambo Ma
than, one of his staunch hackers and a
elittering light, despite his raven hue.
But the testimony failed to fix the
skates upon Bro. Woods.
The testimony of the witnesses, ex-
cept that of Parson Latimer and Chief
Deacon Sambo Nathan, did not make
him out bloody assaulter.
Chief Feagin and officer Willis testi-
fed as to the character of Sambo, stat
ing they would not believe him on
oath. Nathan, it will be remem bered,
was harpOoned recently. charged with
selling booze on Sunday.
Woods, in his statement to the jury,
was rather caustic in his remarks con-
corning ParsOn Latimer, who a few
nights ago was the central figure in a
red hot meeting at old Bethesda, held
under police supervision.
The acquittal of Brother Woods yes
terday was hailed with joy by the large
element of Bethesda's flock arrayed
against the dominic.

Atlanta, June 6.-No wines or
liquors of any kind were served at the
banquet rendered Gov. Terrell at the
Piedmont Hotel this evening by 800 of
his well known Georgia friends. This
decision was made at the special re-
quest of the Governor.
This was probably the most repre-
sentative gathering ever assembled to
upon a similar occasion.
The project was started six weeks
ago, and it was then thought it would
be limited to about $50 guests. 1t

committee of arrangements had to

The dinner was in honor of Gov.
Terrell's forty-sixth birthday, and the
fifth anniversary of his nomination as
governor of Georgia. There were three
fifteen minute speeches and six three

act time.

House, was POSTMASTER, and the occas-

With the marks of his recent skir- mish with William "Red' Kelly still on him and pale as a sheet, Thomas Conaty was in the city court to-day charged with intoXicatiOn and abus- ing Officer Halpin last evening.
 Judge Burpee simply did not know what to do with the man. He has been in jail and to Brookside so often and fined so many times and placed on probation there seemed to be nOth- ing new under the sun which could be imposed on Conaty to try to keep him straight. So in desperation he was put on probation again to pay a fine of $10 and costs.
 John McNabola came down from Brookside yesterday and took too much. He went back to-day to serve thirty days.
 Mrs Belle Ward was given to Thursday to go to work or jail.
 William Hartley went down for thirty days. The case against Nich- olas Scopetta for falsely imprisoning Gaetana Iaculino, aged ten years in IllC CCllll ol q otOI DSONlll oII tCl last Saturday afternoon went over to tomorrow morning. This man stands charged with breach of the peace and attempted rape also and the cases will be heard tomorrow For false inl- prisonment the punishment is from a fine of $10 and costs to imprison- ment in the state prison for thirty years.
