LARGE CONGREGATION
GREETS BISHOP NELSON
Confirmed Glass of Ihir-
teen at Calvary.

Bishop c.. K Nelson, of the Diocese
of Atlanta, was greeted by a eongre-
cation that overcrowded Calvary
church on Sunday night A number of
Americus people who were desirous
to hear the Bishop found themselves
unable to secure admission. Bishop
Nelson has always had large con-
gregation on his previous visits to
this city but that of Sunday night
would have exceeded any of the past
if there had been greater seating ca
pacity.
The Bishop preached one of his us
ual admirable sermons, having for
his subject the cleansing of the Tenn
pie. In his usual simple and direct
style the Bishop drew appropriate les
sons from the act of Christ in driv-
ing from the Temple those who pol
luted the sacred edifice with their
barterings, and severely deprecated
the misuse of religion for material
purposes
At the close of his address the
Bishop confirmed a class of thirteen
candidates. The impressive cere-
mony was followed with interest by
the entire congregation.
While in the city Bishop Nelson
was entertained by the Rector of
Calvary, Rev j. B. Lawrence at his
nome, the vestry of the church, being
invited to dinner with the distin-
guished guest.

BURGLARS AT WORK IN
THE TOWN OF D'SOlO
Large Haul is Made Sun
day Night.

Nearly eight hundred dollars in
cash and checks represents the loss
sustained by Mr.. E. a. Luke, the we'll
known merchant of De Soto, in the
burglarizing of his store Sunday night
or early Monday morning, the burg
lars escaping and leaving no clue be-
hind.
The robbery was detected when the
store was opened for business yester-
day morning.
About $500 in cash, and probably
$4,000 in checks, it is said, represents
known loss, although the burglars
may have taken other things wanted
as we'll
Several of the checks missing were
drawn upon Americus banks, and i'm
mediate notification was given here
and payment stopped 1t is possible,
however, that some Of the checks for
smaller amounts may be disposed of
BY the burglars.
This, however, would be risky, and
lead possibly to detection.
The police department here was
notified of the burglary and will use
every effort to apprehend the thieves.
A greater part of the money stolen
was probably taken in Saturday by
Mr. Luke, hence the explanation of
such an amount in the store.
This is the second burglary COM
mitted recently at De Soto, the store
of Mr.. G. w. Bagley having been en-
tered and robbed two weeks ago.

anime its root If the bulb is plump
and rosy, it is all right-if it is
white ard shrunken, your hair is
diseased and needs nourishment.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gista.

WlRZ MONUMENT
ON GEORGIA SOL
Another Convention May
Settle Question.

Again the question of a site for
the WirZ monument Is up. Many of
the Daughters are dissatisfied with
the decision to remove the monument
from Georgia soil, and Miss Baxter,
the state President, is to be asked to
call a convention of the Georgia chap
ters at the earliest possible date, to
reconsider the decision to take the
monument TO Richmond.
Mrs j. E. Mathis, President of the
Americus Chapter, has called meet
ing of the U. d. G. for Wednesday af-
ternoon at her home, to consider the
request that the local chapter ask
for reconsideration.
The Americus Chapter favors plac-
ing the monument in this state. At
the Savannah convention both Macon
and Americus voted to keep the mon
ument in Georgia, but when the de-
cision was made to take it away, the
Daughters here had become resigned
to the situation.
The new turn in the monument
problem came, when a petition signed
gy seventeen prominent u. d. c.
leaders in the state was mailed Satur-
day to the president of the various
chapters urging them to get their
chapters together and ask for a re-
consideration to the end that the Wirz
monument remain on Georgia soil
The following were the signers of
the petition: Mrs. Helen Plane, hon
orary president for the Georgia U. D.
c.; Mrs. j. K. Ottley, chairman Shiloh
commission; Mrs r. E.
Park, Mrs j. G. Olmstead, Mrs. James
Jackson, Atlanta: Mrs. A. B. Hull,
chairman committee on
site; Mrs. Lee Trammell, Madison,
state registrar; Mrs. A. o. Harper, Ell
berton Mrs. R. L. Nisbet, Marietta,
first vice-president; Mrs P. H Love-
joy, Hawkinsville; Mrs. p H. God
frey, Covington, auditor; Miss NJ B.
Seibley, Rome, recording secretary;
Miss Ida Holt; Mrs T. OChestney,
Macon; Mrs. w. D. Lamar, Macon.
first vice-president
The petition recites the fact that
the decision to remove the monument
to Richmond was taken in the closing
hours of a convention which was al
ready several days late in adjourning
when many of the delegates had gone
home, and had been carried by ma
jority of only two votes.
the chapters request that a convention
be called, no doubt a desperate effort
would be made to relocate the shaft
at Andersonville. Except for the val
liant fight made by the Americus chap
ter, the monument would already be
at Andersonville Outside of this
location, Americus and Macon are the
only claimants which have any just
ground to ask for the monument.
1t is expected that prompt action
will be taken by the chapters in re-
sponse to the petition In such an
event decision can be quickly reach
ed. In case it is for convention, the
call will be probably for a convention
in the central part of the state within
a few weeks, when the only question
would be the settlement of the Wirz
site, finally and definitely

morning an da quantity of goods car
ried away The loot consisted prin-
cipally of cheap perfumery and jewel

soon as the robbery was made known
and before noon had recovered about
all of the stolen stuff. They also har-
pooned the suspected parties, a negro
woman and man, and have them on
cold storage at the barracks. Chief

MCCuIIer Gets 80 Months
in Gang.

Upon four pleas of guilty to as
many charges of larceny from the
house Rus McCuller, a town moke
was given changing sentence to-
falling thirty months by Judge Crisp
yesterday. The loot taken from Cas-
tie McCuller included two fine pis-
tolls, one stolen from a Macon man
stopping at the Hotel Windsor, and
a diamond-studded stick pin. The
police believe that McCuller is con-
nected with the theft of 500 worth OF
gems, stolen here several months ago
and they still hope to secure evil
dence to that end. The gems were
stolen from a visitor in tn city and
tn fact kept quiet at the time until
the robbery could be unraveled.

Easter proclaims new activity in every

HALLELUJAH DAY IN SHORTER.

Four weeks of preparation for an
Easter rally at Shorter A. NJ. E. church
came to an end last Sunday with the
most glorious result in years for even
that hustling congregation. Eight hun
bred dollars had been sked for, fifty
clubs to raise SIG each. So far did
they outrun the expectations of the
pastor, Rev A. NJ Ward, and his Of.
ficers, that even 500 per club was
raised, netting total Of $1,054.50.
This magnificent sum was raised with
out any let-up in the regular collec-
tons of the church or diminution in
any department of it. Coming so soon
on the heels of the wonderful revival
services of the past winter, the pastor
and people feel pardonable pride in
the results achieved. The services
