RACE TRACK WILL BE
READY IN FEW DAYS
Three Days Meet Will be
Held Late in Month.

Bids for fencing the track and
building the grand stand for the
grounds of the Americas Driving As
ISOLATION, were received at a meeting
Of the directors held yesterday after
noon. The contract will probably be
awarded today. 1t will call for the
prompt starting of the work, which
will take about ten days to carry
through.
The hard finish for the race track
was completed yesterday, making the
track one of the best in this section.
Towards the latter part of the
month race meet of three days will
be held. Horses from the Cordele
stables will take part, as we'll as 9th
er entries. An admission fee will
be charged
1t is believed that the growing of
fine horses will be greatly encouraged
in this section by the presence of the
track, and lovers of horse flesh will
be able to enjoy some spirited con-
tests.

ORGANIZE TO FIGHT
THE ALDRICH LAW
Vigorous Campaign by Com
merCiaI Bodies.

NEW YORK, Aug 4-(SpeciaD =
While Senator Aldrich's National Cur
rency Commission is searching Europe
for improvements for the Aldrich-
Vreeland currency law, number OIL
Americas largest business and mer-
camille bodies will this summer con-
duct vigorous campaign intended to
reveal to the public what they consid-
Ser the dangerous defects of the law
According to Representative Charles
n. Fowler, Chairman of the Houses
Banking and Currency Committee, a
National Business Mems Protective
Association is to be formed, and hun
dreds' of thousands of circulars are
to be sent out for the purpose of com
batting the law.
Either today or tomorrow, accord
ing to Representative Fowler, the
New York Merchants Association
alone will mail over 10000 communl~
cations to banking and mercantile
firms throughout the. country, point
ing cut the laws alleged weakness and
dangers, and suggesting that the lead
ing industries of the Nation unite to
radically amend the measure or re-
peal it. The same plan, according to
adopted by the Boards of Trade of
Philadelphia and Baltimore, and by
hundreds of mercantile bodies which
last winter protested to the Banking
and Currency Committee against the
passage of the Aldrich bill
The communications will denounce
the Aldrich- VreeIand compromise
currency law as a legalization of a
currency based on debt They will
advocate in its place a law sanction
ing currency based on the ''consum-
able commodities of the country" in
so far as those commodities are rep
resented in the deposits, capital, and
assets of the issuing bank The cur
rency they will suggest, should be
protected, not by deposits of bonds,
stocks, and ''other evidences of debt"
but by an adequate gold reserve.
Representative Fowler describes
the so-called Aldrich-Vreeland cur
rency law as the most ignorant, cow
ardly, and, if followed to its logical
conclusion the most dangerous piece
of currency legislation ever passed
by an American Congress-"

MURDEROUS NEGRO
LANDED IN JAIL
Otha SIappey Was Wounded
by GauiOt.

Otha Slappey, the negro who made
a murderous assault on Special Agent
Gaujot, of the Seaboard, in the BLACK
Ankle district Friday night, was cap
tured yesterday at Cordele and
brought back in the afternoon by
Chief Feagin and locked up in the city
bastile.
The negro was originally wanted
for breaking into Seaboard cars, but
will now face the far more serious
charge Of assault with intent to com
nit murder.
AS a memento of his encounter with
Detective Gaujot, the negro was found
to be shot in the left leg. 1t was for
the purpose of having his injuries
nursed that he sought his relatives at
Cordele
In the attempt to catch the negro,
which came near resulting so disas-
trously for Detective Gaujot. Chief
Fagin slipped down an embankment
for fifteen feet, and sustained very
painful injuries.
In their hunt for slappey, Chief
Feagin and Detective Gaujot sepa-
rated at Hampton street, Chief Feagin
going through the big ditch which
runs through that section of the city.
Gaugot walked along the track in the
direction Of the house where the negro
was said to be- Secreting himself in
the bushes, Gaujot came suddenly up
on the negro, who was lying fat on
the ground. Instantly the negro drew
his pistol and showed it in the officers
face. Selling the negro's arm, the
detective was able to keep the pistol
from covering him, bullet whistling
harmlessly by.
Just as Detective Gaujot succeeded
in Numbering his pistol from it's
holster, the negro broke away and
ran, Gaujot firing as the negro fled.
Hearing the fussilade above, Chief
Feagin tried to climb up the sides of
the ditch, but when half way up, a
treacherous sapling gave way, and he
fell to the bottom of the gully. Before
he could recover himself and get out
the negro had disappeared.
Since the affair Chief Feagin has
been planning the capture of the ne
gro, and the news yesterday from
Cordele brought joy to the veteran
criminal taker

Do Not Drop Names From Jury List

The Times-Recorder was in error
yesterday in the statement that after
the jury commissioners have selected
the names Of those considered eligi-
bic for jury duty hundreds will then
be dropped because the same names
have been in the jury lists recently"
Members of the jury commissions. state
that this is erroneous, that the names
of the eligible are dropped into the
section of the jury box numbered /
and that as they are drawn from that
box as jurors their names are dropped
into the section numbered ?, no names
being drawn from No. until those in
No. / have been exhausted. In this
way men are kept from being called
on to serve too frequently. The COM
mission does not take it upon itself to
drop names because they have seen
service but complies strictly with the
legal requirements.
Ma, didn't the heathens have a god

The Closing Service.

Last night was the closing service
of the series conducted by Evangelist
Jones. Probably 1900 people were
out and the interest was fully as great
as at any of the previous meetings.
Indeed, there seemed to be an addi-
tional fervor in the singing, and the
attention that was given to the speak
er was unbroken throughout
Mr. Jones had selected as his topic,
Christ, The Light of the World. F"
Henry Drummond, said he, once said
that the greatest proof of Christianity
is Christian Every Christian life
should be so attractive, said Mr..
Jones, as to inspire others with the
desire to also be Christians. Every
Christian life should be as light I'M
to the feet of others, as a light in the
window drawing the wanderer home.
The evangelist spoke with much
feeling of Christ as the light of the
individual life, as the light of the re-
ligious and social world, contrasting
conditions in heather lands with those
in lands where the influence of
Christ's life is continuously at work.
The sermon was one of the most eff
fective of the series, and fitting
finale to those that had preceded it.
At the close of the services many of
those present bade farewell to Mr.
Jones and wished him God-speed in
his work in other places.

Morning Service.

Taking the lesson from the flight
of Lot from the doomed city of
Sodom, Mr.. Jones yesterday morning
wildly portrayed to the unconverted
the dangers of further delay He
said that he had preached during the
meeting to the sinner from many
standpoints, appealing to him to give
his heart to God, but this time the
appeal would be to practical common
sense only.
Escape thee for thy life," was the
warning cry of the speaker Lot be-
lieved the messenger, but took his
own time, His wealth was in Sodom
Put Women in Jail
At one point in his sermon Mr..
Jones landed with both feet on the
females who played cards for prizes.
you are only gamblers" he declar-
ed. And | wish they would put you
in jail. / would like to see every
woman in Georgia who plays cards
for prizes in jail. Indeed | would"
The speaker then inquired into the
motives which caused sinners to put
off their surrender to God. One man
wants to wait until all the church
members get right Such men will
never find that condition These
men want God to run special train,
on which no "niggers or poor white
trash shall have seat This was
illustrated by a man who goes to
the depot and wants to go to Macon,
but objects to the mixed crowd and
turns back
Another man is not sure that he
can hold out. 1t was certain that
he could never hold out unless he
started and the longer this was put
off the less chance there would be to
hold out. Another unsaved person
wants ito wait until Bill goes. .
When perhaps that individual would
be led by the one who was waiting.
Biggest Fool OF All
IF you believe in heaven and hell
and that the wicked will be sent to
hell, and still live in sin you are the
biggest fool know anything about, "
said Mr.. Jones' Every day the sin
ner lives in sin he gets farther from
heaven and nearer hell.
You are going to put off this mat
ter too long, warned the speaker,
You will gather one flower too many
on the brink of the precipice, you
are going to turn your back on God
one time too many
Mr.. Jones requested that all stand
who believed there was a God, and
that there was a hell, and that Chris
tians We're going to heaven and sin
