MISS LINTON is TAKEN
AWAY BY ABDUCTOR
Attempt to Rob House is
Frustrated.

Amcricus friends of Miss Lucille
Linton, Of Thomasyille will be greatl,
interested in remarkable story
coming from that city yesterday of a
bold attempt to abduct the young
lady and rob the house, the attempt
being made by white man disguised
as a negress.
A negro woman, decided to be a
white man in disguise, drove to the
house where Miss Linton was living
alone, and gave her a note purport-
ing to be from her brother-in-law,
Gerald Green, of Athens.
The fake message stated that he
had been injured in a runaway, and
asking her to come to the home of
Mr.. Ritchie, miles from town.
AS a telegram was sent Miss Lin
ton from Moultrie the previous night
signed with her brother-in-law' name
she did not hesitate, and left with
the negro, but became suspicious.

fused to go further
The supposed negress grabbed hel
but she drew a pistol and fought off
the fictitious negress, in spite of the
efforts to throw a blanket over her
head, and to blind her with straps of
ducking which has been provided for
the purpose.
A neighbor heard her screams,
and on his approach the negress
jumped from the buggy and ran. Shots
from nearby proved the presence of
confederates. 1t is thought the pur-
pose of the abductor was to rob the
house of money supposed to be
concealed there.
Miss Linton has visited in Ameri-
Gus and is we'll known here.

IN SPIRIT OF DEVILTRY
TWO LIVES ARE TAKEN

News reached Americus yesterday
from Ocklocknee, a station on the
Seaboard east of this city, of an atroc-
uous double murder committed by a
negro. Going to the home of another
negro he deliberately killed a woman,
twenty years of age, and a boy of f1f-
teen, coolly loading his gun after each
discharge. Other inmates escaped
certain death by running away. The
murderer escaped but is being pur-
sued.

mined Yet.

Officer VIII Cloud who was badl5
shot in the right arm Thursday night
by Nick Lamar, was resting as well
yesterday as the nature of his wound
would permit. The result of the
shooting cannot be fully determined
yet and eneurism is not unlikely, a
condition very much to be feared.
His physicians hope that the smaller
blood vessels in the injured arm may
eventually perform the functions of
the main artery, which was severed
by the IA calibre bullet fired from a
big army revolver Nick Lamar was
transferred yesterday from the police
barracks to the county Jail and his
bond assessed at $1,000.

REVEALS.

Big revivals and protracted meet
ings seem to be the order OF the day
at this season. Nearly every church
in the city has started, or is preparing
TO start revival, commonly known as
the Spring revival. Preparations are
being made among all the denomina-
tions. Spruce Street Baptist Church
began it's meeting on Washlngton's
birthday, a custom that has been IN
vogue since the life of Father Merry"
Not one year, since his inauguratlng
these annual revivals, has the church
allowed to pass by without its work be-
ing thoroughly done. They have Sc
cured the services of Rev. John w.
Cook. of Dickson, Tenn, and for the
next ten days he will deliver interest
ing and soul-stirring sermons to the
crowds of visitors and earnest sinners
who will be in attendance.
Bethel A. M. e. Church has been
conducting its meeting for more than
ten days with great success. They
have a minister conducting their
meetings who is thoroughly capable Of
bringing souls to Christ. He is an ex'
cellent speaker and has drawn large
audiences.
The African Methodists have de-
cided to conduct what is termed GA
Floating Revival" 1t will practically
rotate, going from church to church.
The meeting began at Bethel, where it
is being held this week, and will prob
ably continue for a few nights next
week and then go either to st. Paul
or to st. John. They will take in all
the churches on the west side first,
then to the east side, starting at
Payne Chapel.
Mount Olive Baptist Church began
her revival Sunday night. Dr. Clark
preached the opening sermon. On
Monday, Rev. c. P. M. Bigbee, who is
we'll known in revival circles, arrived
and has been conducting services since
then every night He is due to remain
here, at least, ten days. His further
stay will depend upon the development
and the success Of the meeting.
There will hardly be night within
the next sixty days in which some
able sermons are not delivered from
some of the many pulpits in the city.
All of the denominations have plans
on foot to secure the services of eX-
perienced revivalists, and Nashville
will be stirred as it has never been be-

THE ALGONQUINS GIVE CHARITY
MASQUE PARTY.

One of the pleasantest social affairs
OF the present season was the Charity
Masque Party given by the Algonquin
Club at Odd Fellows Auditorium last
week for the benefit Of the Day Home
Club. A large and representative
gathering was present, participated in
the festivities and helped raise funds
for this laudable, charitable institu-
tuition which is working so hard I'M
der it's efficient officers to provide
place where mothers, who are COM
PEELED to work out during the day, may
leave their children and have them
cared for.
The party was under the auspices, as
stated above, of the Algonquin Club,
the officers of which are: Eugene T..
Page, President; VIM. D. Boyer, Vice
President; ]. o. Battle, Secretary; d..
Wesley Crutcher Treasurer, but in
making the affair the success that it
was, these officers had the active CO.
operation of the Day Home Club in
making all the arrangements. Though
it has not been stated what the receipts
derstood that quite a neat sum was
realized.
Most of the participants were
masked and presented sight that
caused ones mind almost instinctively
to revert to the famous Mardi Gras

THE OHIO PLATFORM.

The state republican convention
held in Ohio last week, incorporated
the following in its platform of prin-
ciples:
"In the nation we stand for those
ideals of government which mean JUS
tice, equality and fair dealing among
men. A brave and impartial enforce
ment of the law ** 4 the civil and poll
tical rights of the American Negro in
every State, believing as we do that
his marvellous progress in intelligence,
industry and good citizenship has
earned the respect and encouragement
of the nation, and that those legisla-
tive enactments that have for their
real aim his disfranchisement for rea-
sons of color are unfair, un-American
and repugnant to the supreme law of
the land.
1--WE favor the reduction of repre-
sentation in Congress and the electoral
college in all States of this Union
where white and colored citizens are
6isfranchised, to the end that the four
IGCllll W InG CONSTITUTION
of the United States may be enforced
according to its letter and spirit"
This, evidently, is sop to the col
ored voters of that state who support
Mr.. Taft and a bait for those of the
race who, on account of the great fight
made by the Hon. Joseph Benson For
aker, are disposed to follow that gen
tleman even to the point of leaving
the party.
1t is almost impossible to believe
that the republicans of Ohio seriously
contemplate making an effort to cut
down the representation of those states
that disfranchise men on account of
color. If such were there intentions
they would begin now and force such
a measure through Congress while the
party is in control of both branches
and also has the chief executive. They
would scarcely run the risk of an cleo
blOn WHICH 10 A4ctblC w DIluS dDOuJ Z
change of party control in some one
part Of the government.
Similar planks to the one in thu
Ohio platform have been encouched il
the National Platform of the republi
can party but nothing tangible hal
come from them. A few bills havt
been introduced but they met a uni
form death in Committee. This in
action of Congress would tend to shov
that many of the leaders of that over
whelming republican majority believ
with Mr.. Taft that statutory disfran
chisement in the South on account o
color is a step for the better in solv
ing the so-called problem Of this sec
tion
There can be little if any doubt tina
the object of the plank quoted abov
was to assuage the resentment felt b,
the Negro voter toward Mr. Taft Oh
account of his Tuskegee Lexington
Kansas City and other speeches. Blu
whether it will have the desired effect
remains to be seen.
