CHANCELLOR AT SECOND BAP-
TIST.

The Crowd Expected Chase - Captain
Byrnes Sent Four Officers.
At the Second Baptist Church last
Sunday afternoon William E. Chancel-
lor, Superintendent OF Schools was
greeted by an excited and disappointed
audience.
Long before the meeting was called
to order persons would come and go,
and questions were asked, rs Chase
there?"
A rumor had been circulated that the
Editor of The Bee intended to go to
the church with a crowd and break up
ChancelIors' meeting. The most anus
ing incidents were when the entrance
door would open, someone in the audi
ence would say, There he comes, mean
ing Chase. About 4.3o, DR.. S. L. Cor
rothers entered the church and Rev w
B. Johnson, who was acting presiding
officer, miStook DR.. Corrothers for the
Editor of The Bee, and Immediately
said, Il want it understood that Elis
is the church of God and there IS to be
no interruption of the speaker. ." 1t was
fully thirty minutes before the speaker
had been introduced, and no Mr. Chase
was in sight, and neither had he any
! intention of interrupting the meeting.
This was a surprise to Rev. Johnson,
as we'll as to the people, who had gone
to the church more out of curiosity than
the appreciation they had for the speak
| er. This was evidenced by the people
leaving before the speaker had conclud-
| ed. because when it was ascertalned that
Mr. Chase was not present and had not
intended to be present. only five dozen
people were present when the speaker
had concluded.
Captain Byrnes, of the Sixth Police
Precinct, stated to Bee representative
that hurry call had been sent to him
| from police headquarters to send a force
| Of men to the Second Baptist Church,
Third street between H and /, as w
I Calvin Chase was going there TO break
up Chancellor's meeting The news had
circulated in and around the church
and the greatest excitement prevailed
As a matter of fact Mr.. Chase was
down near the Arsenal at the time, OBJ
sercing the nUited States gunboat al
the foot of Seventh street, at the hour
of this meeting. The only thought the
Editor had was, if he could see a can
non large enough to return Chancellor
to Paterson, n. J.
When the Editor reached Seventh or
his return from observation of the gun
boat he saw one of Chancellor's teach
ers on the car who had attended tht
meeting.
! At the conclusion of the Superintend
EMS paper last Sunday he invited thos'
who were his friends to come up anC

Plow Factory Sold.

After a multitude of financial tangles
and receivers, the plant of the New
South Plow Company was sold at public
outcry at Columbus and brought only
So, 100. The history of this splendid
plant, which, it is claimed, could have
made thousands of dollars for the stock
holders if they had possessed sufficient
funds to tide over high places, is one OF
trouble from the very start.
About two years ago the company
was organized, and 31,5O0 in actual
cash was paid in by stockholders, and a
plant worth fully 100000 was pur-
chased. Mortgages began at the very
outset of the plants operation, and the
sale was made TO satisfy an Indebtedness
to a local bank in the sum of $16, 500,
and also a second claim for several thou
sand more to one of the largest stock
holders in the enterprise. This stock
holder purchased the plant, :nd it is
understood he vii operate it from this
date under his management.
The original stockholders do not re-
ceive a single penny from the sums they
put into the enterprise.

sAIp WOMEN MARRIED HIM.
Remarkable Excuse Put Forward by
French Biqamist.

At Versailles, France, recently q
baker was tried on a charge Of polyg
amy, having married five women
who are living and undivorced. The
pentagamist's defense was that he
had not married the women; they had
married him. When they proposed
he had not the courage to say no
Neither money nor love, he said, had
prompted his nuptials; he was the
victim OF the stronger wills of his
successive spouses. OF the five wives
three appeared as witnesses, but did
not prosecute, saying that their COM
mon husband was a topper of whom
they were glad to get rid He was
acquitted-on what ground does not
appear. AS all the years in which
the multiplex husband took wives
were leap years except 1881, in which
it would seem that in four out of
the five cases the women had the
right to propose. But the man had
the right, even in the leap years, to
decline, and 1t was up to him at least
to explain to his fair suitors that he
was engaged. To establish the prin-
ciple that man is not responsible
for the number Of his wives unless
he himself does the counting, would
be plainly against public policy. II
"Barkis is willin," that at once puts
all the responsibility on him, no
matter who managed the prelimi-
naries.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS
The States Cash.

Quite large slice was taken out of
the amount of cash on hand in the treas
ury one day last week, when the sum of
S2O7 900 was paid out to the holders
OF notns for the amount borrowed by the
Governor last May. This sum was au-
thorized by chapter SO, laws of 1906,
which provided that the Governor might
borrow during the year 1906, sum not
exceeding 100000, and the loan was ef
fected during the month of May, 1906,
which was made payable on or before
july 1, 1906, and the sum of the amount
paid out today, principal and interest,
amounted to $207, 900, approximately.
There still remained i'll the treasury,
after paying out this sum, an amount of
cash reaching the sum of over $25O,0O0,
added to which there will be payments
by tax collectors during the present
month which will, it is believed, Offset
the cash paid out today, and leave Il nu-
cleus for the 1888, 1888 for the APP
preaching school fund distribution, to
which must be added the usual drafts
to meet current expenses of the State
for January. 1t is figured out that it
will require some very close financing ia
keep abreast of the demands, which will
come in from month to month, as well
as the practice of economy III the mat
ter of incidentals and contingent ex-
penses. There is still a considerable part
of the last authorized bond issue out
standing, and which may be looked to to
piece out the current cash in the treas
ury, but at best the State tinanciers are
not anticipating a rosy time of it In the
immediate future
