JOINER Is STILL HELD
IN JAIL IN AMERICUS.
Not Committed to Asylum
as Yet.

Though committed to the insane
asylum some time ago L. c. Joiner.
the convicted forger, is still in the
Americus jail awaiting disposition of
his case. The asylum authorities first
declined to receive him, under the
law barring out criminals, and sug-
gested that he be sent instead to the
insane hospital at the State Prison
Farm, near Milledgeyille. But it
seems that there are no accommoda-
tions there for patients, and pending
final disposition of his case he is
kept in the cell here, where he has
been since early in November. Joiner
was sentenced to a term of five years
in the penitentiary for forgery at the
November term of court, and the
insanity plea will not permit him to
escape doing time in stripes as the
pen sentence holds good despite pos
sible confinement in the asylum for a
time.

Spades are trumps in the little

bo holds an ace, a single spade
but one to draw to. And sixty days

when booze was buyable he fell from
grace. One beautiful Sunday morn

led a glad jingle and the worshippers
awaited the coming of Deacon Nath-

"perlice" had him. At the Sunday
school hour a black and tan Delilah

her a pint of snake juice, rendering
a marked half dollar for the oil of
joy. The cops were watching all the

ANTI-TAFT MEN
LINING UP NEGROES
Begin In La, But Will Ex-
tend Field.

WASHINGTON, d. c., jan g.
(SpeciaD-It was learned here to-
day that a definite move has been
started in the South to send contest
ing delegations to the Republican Nat
ional Convention against Secretary
Taft by organizing the negroes
against him. The first point of oper-
alton is Louisiana, along the lines
of the scheme carried out three! years
ago.
At the convention which nominated
President Roosevelt there were two
delegations from Louisiana. One
was the BLACK and Tam organiza-
ton and the other was the Lilly
White" crowd of Federal office hold
ers. The Credentials Committee re-
ported in favor. of seating to harmon
ize the differences between the fac
tions, and it was finally done by
seating both delegations, giving each
half vote. cit is charged by the
negroes that it was agreed, also, that
they should haas yoice IN the mat
ter of selecting patronage, and that
this promise was forgotten.
Word has been received here that
this year the negroes are determined
to organize SO that their force must
be recognized. They have obtaines

MAIL CARRIER FOR
ARCTIC CIRCLE

NEW WESTMINISTER,B B. c., Jan.
3.-James Cornwall, hardy and exper-
fenced fur trader, has left Edmonton
for the Northwest wilds of Canada
his destination being we'll into the
Arctic Circle. Cornwall has secured
the contract for carrying mail to the
few scattered inhabitants of the
Northwestern wilds. A distance OF
1850 miles will be traversed before
he reaches the end of his journey at
Fort Mcpherson, on the Mackenzie
River.
With the exception of the first hun
dred miles, when horses will be used
the entire trip will be made by dog
trains, the driver securing relays OF
fresh dogs at postoffices en- route. At
times the thermometer will be 60 below
zero, and the lone mail carrier will
have to battle for days with the fierce
billiards that are so frequent in that
district during the winter months.
Dangers of all kinds will beset every
mile OF his arduous journey, and il
history repeats itself, he will loose
at least one-third of the mail matter
before his task is half over.

LOWER RENT FIGHT
SPREADING OUT
Socialists Believe Harlem
Ripe for Work.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-(SpeciaD =
The Socialists who are pushing the
rent reduction campaign have ex-
tended their labors from the lower
east side up into Harlem. Many
thousands of circulars in Italian were
scattered over the Italian section of
Harlem on the east side, telling of a
meeting designed to arouse the ten
ants to engage in the movement which
started in the lower east side, to
be held last night.
There were 100 people and a dog
present at the meeting. Every time
a speaker rose to real fiery eloquence
tn dog began barking. And then
somebody kicked him. That came
near starting riot.
The meeting last night was to test
the neighborhood to see if it was
ripe for rent-reduction campaign.
1t was decided that the neighborhood
was ripe. So within a few days a
big meeting will be held up there.
To understand the possibility of
the movement accomplishing some
thing substantial, it must be under
stood that many of the so-calIed
'leaster" landlords are exactly the
same~kind of people as the tenants,
except that in most cases they have
been in this country long enough to
understand plans whereby they may
squeeze money out of their more re-
Gently arrived and more ignorant
brethren.
The Committee of Ten told how

ployed by the landlord of 1928 Broom

out from the Socialist headquarters,

DOPERS ARE DOPING IN
FINE SHAPE AS PROHIS
Soft Drinks Are Favored In
AmeriCuS.

Gimme a DOPE" is the CHEEKY or
der given at Americus soda founts
lust now. and by men who until the
past three days would have disdain-
ed such beverage, preferring rather
the kind that boosted Milwaukee into
prominence.
But the foaming Slitz and bonny
Blue Ribbon are no longer to be had,
and the stomach soapsuds" as the
dopers term the mild decorations are
called for instead.
Americus fountains have had a
rush for three days.
I'VE have just all the business we
can attend to in the soft drinks line"
said a fountain splasher yesterday to
the Times-Recorder. 1T has been all
day as you see it here now," he con-
tinued, pointing to the genial bunch
at 1.-The bar"
And the lineup was indeed for
mdable one
Americus men are drinking coca
cola who heretofore took their tonic"
elsewhere, while those who mixed
it along with other aquatic refresh
ments probably take more of the
mild kind now, since the other varie-
ty is denied them.
The trade here is very large and
will grow rapidly.
While the fountains are doing an
increased business, Americus has as
yet developed no ''tea rooms" or even
a regular bar for the sale of prohi-
bition beer and other mild drinks.
Evn the suggested CLUB locker is
an unknown quantity.
And it is absolutely safe to assert
that there will be no club lockers in
Americus-not one.
The city council has not fixed a
special tax for club lockers, unless
it was done at the meeting of that
body last night. but the little state
tax of $500, already fixed, is suff1-
cient to deter the worshippers of
Gambrinus here from having one.
The soft bar" may come; the kind
we had here before under prohibition
but no club locker
AS a rule, Americus people are
anxious that the prohibition law be
rigidly enforced. Now that liquor has
vanished from the State the vast
majority of people, even those in
Americus who formerly opposed pro-
hibition, will uphold the law.
And woe be unto any unwary "blind
tiger" caught here. For he will be
skated to Paschal's menagerie with
out the privilege of paying a fine,
and the people know it.

night was the first one of the year
and a busy session, as might have
been expected. Mayor E. A Haw-

Aldermen Childers, Poole, Furlow
Rodgers, Eldridge and Allen present.
The consideration of the special Ii
cense ordinance was perhaps the
most important matter before coun-
Gil, and consumed the greater portion
of the session. There are several
material changes in the long list of
special taxes imposed, which will be
seen when the lengthy ordinance is
published in it's entirety.
There are no changes in the per-
sonnel of heads of departments as
elected for the new year. The session
extended we'll into the night and the
official proceedings will be given

Mr., BLISS KNAPP LECTURED
TO CANON AUDIENCE SUNDAY

Mr.. Bliss Knapp. a member OF the
Christian Science Board Of Lecture
ship of the First Church Of Christ.
Scientist of Boston, Mass, addressed
a large audience at the opera house
Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Knapp Is an eloquent and logi-
cal speaker and was fully appreciated
by his audience.
He said in part:
IF Christian Science were simply
Intellectual pastime, touching only the
emotions and sentiments Of meE, 1t
could never emulate the mercy of
primitive Christian healing. 1t is gen.
orally admitted that it heals the sick
bringing peace and comfort from the
nature of its curative power. Indeed
1t has challenged our attention, not
because of any failure. but because of
its success in good works. Far from
being an ethical philosophy, this is a
life to be lived.--a truth to be proved.
Recognizing how essential it is, at
some time, for all to claim their God
teresting to observe the method which
Jesus adopted in teaching this healing
power to his disciples. Not gifted in
learning, these disciples manifested
an average intelligence, and certain
familiarity with the Mosaic law.
Doubtless they were as familiar with
the Old Testament writings as the
average individual of today. However,
that Jesus reproved them for their un-
belief, Then opened e their under

the scriptures. Then one might be

Jesus healed the man with the with

all are familiar with those words, but
suppose any one today repeated those
same words to one suffering from a
withered hand, could the mere repe-
tition OF those words heal him? 1t
must be evident to you that not the
words. but the spiritual understand
ing OF the Master healed the sick. Why
one might commit to memory the

disease. for 1t Is the spiritual under
standing that needs to be opened. The
letter killeth.' says the Scripture, but
the spirit giveth life
When one turns to God for comfort
or consolation 1t is commonly through
for deliverance from sickness and
from sin. They continue their -reach-
ing against sin, but the Christian heal
ing of sickness is apparently apa-
thetic from unbelief. The reason may
lie in the physical appearance of sick
ness, for II sickness were known to be
as mental as sin, then 1t could be
seen how a mental prayer could con-
troll both. If disease were purely phys
ical and could be reached only by
drugs or material means. there could
be no such thing as Christian healing.
One OF the leading points In the theol-
ogy of Christian Science. and one
which physicians are now admitting
to be true. is the mental nature Of
disease.
"The observation that disease Is
mental has aroused the frequent re-
mark Well, If pain Is all in the think
ing, just think you are we'll and you
will be so.' Now the same ignorant be-
lief that causes disease can never cure
it; for, II thinking you are well is all
that is necessary. and it could be so
arranged at twelve o'clock tonight to
have everybody think they are we'll,
then all the pain and suffering OF the
world would be wiped out in a single
night. But the most masterful logic
of material philosophy can never con-
vince a suffering man that his pain is
not real, for the same mind that pro-
duces disease can never destroy 1t.
Only the spiritual Mind as taught by
Christ Jesus can uncover sin and dis
ease and destroy it, and that Mind
that was in Christ Jesus has stood
forth in bold relief throughout the
Christian era as the panacea for the
worlds ills. Therefore let this mind
be in you which was also in Christ
Jesus
Before Mrs. Eddy discovered Chris
tian Science, she had been searching
for years along this line OF mental
nature Of disease, and that the higher
attenuations Of medicine which con-
tanned the least OF the drug and the
most mind were the most powerful.
She continued her Investigations be-
