ANXIOUS FOR ADJOURNMENT.
Congressman Want to Get Back to
Their Districts.

A Washington dispatch says con-
gressmen are getting deeply interest
ed in adjournment, but regardless of
what the leaders on the republican
side say no one feels any degree of
certainty that he will get home be-
fore the first of June. The date at
first fixed upon was May g. That was
soon changed to May 16. Now May
% is the date being talked of.
The Georgia Numbers are particu-
larly interested Several of them have
been unable to stand it any longer
and have gone home to look after
their fences. Mr. Edwards is natur-
ally anxious. Lewis lett few days
ago, and the others, except Brantley
and Howard, are talking about going.
Judge Bell says frankly though that
he feels as if the people in his district
do not elect him under the circum-
stances that he ought to get oeat.
Judge Griggs feels pretty safe now.

COX is A CANDIDATE.
He Will Contest Rape of the Rights
of Country Counties"

Hon. Albert H. Cox, we'll known
throughout Georgia as one of the
most prominent attorneys in the
state and noted stump orator, has
announced as a delegate from the
state at large to the Denver conven-
ton of the national democracy, and
in doing so declares himself in favor
of Hon. Joseph NJ Brown for gov
ernOr.
Mr.. Cox in his published statement
takes the position that the rights of
the country counties of Georgia are at
stake; that monstrous wrong has
been done to put the control of the
state into the hands of a few men;
that all minority representation has
been abandoned by the action of the
state democratic committee, and that
he is making the fight for the posi-
ton of national delegate in order to
contest before the people what he
terms this autocratic action of the
executive committee. He declares for
Mr.. Brown because, he says, Brown
has from first to last protested
against this rape of the rights of the
country counties"

$4,000 AGAINST JAMES
VERDICT FOUND IN THREE MIN
UTES AGAINST BLAKELY MAN.
Federal Courts on Cotton Flu
ture Contract,

In the United States Court in Co
lumbus last week Haven & Clements,
New York Brokerage firm, sued D.
w. James, a prominent citizen and
banker of Blakely
1t was alleged that in 1904 James
dealt in cotton futures on the New
York Cotton Exchange. Haven and
Clements represented him, and he is
indebted to that firm between ten
and eleven thousand dollars. The
allegation was made that in one
transaction James made over four
thousand dollars, but that in sub
sequent transactions he lost some
twenty-four thousand and did not
make good" but half his losses
The defense was based first on the
claim that the New York firm had
orders to close out the transaction for
Mr. James when his losses reached
five thousand dollars; and, second,
that the debt, if established, cannot
be legally collected, as it was a gam
bling transaction.
The jury brought in a verdict for
the plaintiffs for $4,000 principal
and $4,000 interest.
The case was on trial three days,
and the jury was not out three min
uteS.

Panama Canal Zone Leads the World
i'm Variety of TOrmentOrs.
Panama leads the world in brands
of mosquitoes, according to Smith
sonian Institute report just made
public. The report is founded upon
the Investigations of August Busck'
a MOSQUITO expert, who went to the
canal zone for the especial purpose
of studying the mosquitoes there.
Mr.. Busck brought home specl-
mems of SO kinds of the insects
which, added to the seven kinds al
ready known to exist there, makes
90 distinct brands on the zone. or
these 80 brands were new to mos
quito students.
The one pleasing part of Busck S
report was that the yellow fever
mosquito was one of the most seldom
met of all varieties. The malaria
mosquito is plentiful there, but spe-
cial efforts are to be made to elm
mate this brand.
Mr.. Busck's especial mission was
to study the breeding grounds ana
habits of the insects, so that more
intelligent fight could be maze on
them. =. His reports indicate that ne
has made excellent progress. several
of the 90 brands are said to be real
friendly, nonbiting sort, ana no
effort will be made to eliminate
them

INTERESTING TALK
ON SOUTH AMERICA
BY BISHOP Nicely
Declares That Missionary Work
Is Tainted with Too Much
COmmercialism There.

Bishop Thomas B. Nicely, of New
Orleans, delivered an interesting lee
ture on South America at st. Luke's
NJ. e. Church yesterday. The bishop
has but recently returned from a four
years residence in South America, and
is now in charge of the Newark con
ference. He will preside at the annual
session of that body in the Centenary
Church next April.
Bishop Nicely criticised the attitude
of the American people as regards their
policy of missionary work in South
America. He said that too much at
tention was paid to commercialism,
rather than religion. and that the
foreign countries were doing far more
good than was accomplished by the
United States.
South America, he said, Is on the eve
of an awakening in both its CONNER
cial and religious life, and looks to the
United States for assistance in this
progressive movement. The people he
described as being of a trustfui, gener-
Gus nature, and many Incidents were
given by him showing those traits IN
their character.
The church was we'll filled during the
lecture, and the bishops ~eloquence and
expert knowledge of his subject were
thoroughly appreciated by all his
hearers.

DIVINE AID MADE
COUNTRY GREAT,
MINISTER SAYS
Rev. Clark T. BrOWnell breaches
ON the Hand of Providence
in U. S. History"

The Rev. Clark T.. Brownell, pastor
of the South Baptist Church, preached
a sermon on 1.-The HAND of Providence
in American History yesterday. He
took as his text Isaiah Xix, 6, II am
honorable in the eyes CT the Lord, and
my God has become my strength
Mr.. BroWnell said, In part: This
country is what she is because God has
been and Is in her midst, and she shall
not be moved. The future of the coun-
try will depend not SO much upon her
geographical Importance as Upon the
character of her citizens. We have
three and one-half millions of square
miles of land. Patagonia, Russia and
Turkey have land. but it is land with
God left out and humanity buried
alive"
Mr.. Brownell dwelt upon the religious
character of the %colonists and the
principles upon which the colonies were
founded, assembling their subsequent
strength to the integrity of these
principles. Thus was the hand of Provi-
dence first directed toward this CONT
nent. And in the present day, he said,
its effect must be felt through the
medium of the home mission.

The Rev. George E. Lombard
Discussing the Theatre at
Paramount Baptist Church.

1.-The Enticing Charms of the Theatre"
was the subject Of the Rev. George f.
Lombard's sermon in the Paramount
Baptist Church last night.
After referring to the ancient origin
of the theatre, which the Rev. Mr.
Lombard said was connected with re-
ligious festivals, it was pointed out
that many attempts had been made to
reform it during its long history.
He added. that some plays were
harmless in their moral tone, while
others were not, and made the point
that as the players do not mean what
they saykthey cannot be set down as
moral teachers.
'Many of them are VIGOROUSLY i'm

character
In conclusion the Rev. Mr.. Lombard
said:
II cannot refrain from adding a

7. NJ. SHEPHERD
TALKS ON UNION
Of PROTESTANTISM
Says 1t Is Necessary Before the
Great Consolidation of All
Christians.
REVIEWS WORK DONE
ON THESE LINES ALREADY
Foreign Missionary Movement
Also Briefly Discussed at
BelleviIle Church.

At the Belleville Avenue Congrega-
tional Church yesterday morning the
Rev. Theodore Merrell Shipherd deliv-
cred a sermon on 1.-THE Union of Prot
estantism."
Mr.. Shipherd made it clear before he
concluded his discourse that he be-
heyed h union of scattered Protes-
tantism was necessary before that
union of Christendom could be accom-
plished, a union for which all devout
Catholics 2nd Protestants are praying.
SketchfHg the story of the first meet
ing of thu Federal Council held in New
York in 1905, the preacher led up to
the facts of the recent meeting in Phil
adelphia, in which thirty-two denomi-
nations were represented by their au-
thoritatively elected delegates. Thus
it came about that an articulate feder-
alton allowing a proper freedom of
thought and method of work was
formed to express the feeling of SYM
pathy and union which has long exist
ed among these various bodies estab-
lished upon the Protestant basis.
1t is a sober and moderate opinion
that the vitality and power of the
Protestant forces in this country are
greatly increased by this formal decla-
ration of a unity hat had long existed.
Mr.. Shipherd reviewed briefly and
commented Upon the influence of the
foreign missionary movement in bring
ing about this splendid federation at
home. He spoke also of the strangers
coming to us from Southeastern Europe
and of the fact that while many of
them remain loyal to the Jewish. the
Greek and Roman churches there are
yet many who have revolted upon be-
ing received into the spirit of wide
freedom of action allowed them here in
these United States. Someone must
prevent the increase of this consequent
atheistic spirit for the safety of our
country, Inc this Is the work of a
united Professionalism.
Mr.. Shipherd said that he agreed
with the federation in it's statement
that local prison reform, charities, pub
lie Fairgrounds, the tuberculosis prob
lem, the housing of the poor, the care
of children and all matters vital to
labor were subjects both interesting
to the church of Christ and matters
to which the church must give her
sympathy and Inspiration.
The report upon the family, made by
Bishop Doane, of Albany, Mr.. Ship
herd declared, ought to be printed In
pamphlet form and circulated through
out the land.

Common Sense
And a Tablet
Do Away With Dyspepsia, Stomach
Trouble and Take Meals
A Pleasure.

When your stomach goes ON a strike
and massmeetings of indignation are
held all over your body, then it is that
you should sit up and take notice.
1t is clearly and only a question Of
common sense-is this thing called Dys-
pepsia. Take away by abuse, over
eating, excuses and high living, the
things which the stomach needs and
you have dyspepsia and Indigestion;
then other maladies follow these-this
is common sense.
The stomach Is willing enough, but
YOU won't let it do its work. You take
away the materials which are SO neces-
sary for 1t to use.
Give back these materials and dys-
pepsia and Indigestion flee and the
whole machinery of man begins slowly
to move and do its work.
What the stomach needs is nerve
force, fluids for it's digestive glands,
nourishment and power. All these ne
cessities 1t takes from the blood II
dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood
the blood gives nothing to the stomach.
This is common sense also. pure,
simple and unalloyed.
