A BOND OF $4,000
IN LIEU OF CHECK
Contract Must be Completed by April 18th Under
Forfeiture Thereof


In lieu of the certified check for
$4,000 for a faithful performance of
the terms of contract with the City of
Americus, as provided for in the AL
len resolution, the Americus Railway
& Light Co. will be permitted to give
a surety bond of $4,000.
This bond is to be dated October
18th, and and under the terms of the
new resolution the entire contract
with the city must be completed on
or before April 18th, next.
Within the six months the street
railway must be completed.
Such was the action of the city
council called together in special
session last night at the request of
Mr. W. A Dodson This request was
made at late hour yesterday in the
following letter to Mayor Hawkins
In compliance with the request of
Col. Dodson, the special meeting was
called with full council present to
hear from Mr. Walker
Hon. E. A. Hawkins, Mayor City of
Americus,
Dear Sir
Kindly call meeting of the city
council of Americus for this evening
at 7:30 as Mr.. A N. Walker, Pres
Americus Railway & Light Co., and
myself wish to submit and discuss
proposition relative to the contract
entered into between myself and the
City of Americus Yours Sincerely,
w. A. DODSON.
Oct. 7, 1908.
Alderman Allen interposed objec-
tions to hearing from Pres. Walker if
the certified check in compliance
with his resolution of thirty days
ago was not forthcoming, but the OBJ
lection was not sutained and Pres.
Walker addressed council at some
length.
The purport of his remarks was a
request that the council accept from
his company adequate bond instead
Of a certified check for compliance
with terms of it's contract
Pres. Walker gave reasons why a
bond instead of a check would be de-
sirable. Just now, he stated, the
company needed all of its cash to car
ry on the work of construction, and
it would be hardship to tie up that
amount of cash unnecessarily
Again, he would dislike very much
to make such demand upon the COM

pany's treasurer, as it would indicate
to his directors a spirit of suspicion,
or unfriendliness, upon the part of
citizens here towards his company.
This, he we'll knew, did not exist.
but to his directors a thousand miles
away the situation might present a
different aspect.
Alderman Allen vigorously opposed
any amendment to his original reso-
luton that would substitute bond
for the cash demanded and expressed
very pointedly his views regarding
the action of the company in having
violated its contract already
The city he thought, had been most
lenient, and should not assume the at
titude of an infant in swaddling
clothes to be dictated to any longer
by this company.
The entire contract he stated,
should have been completed three
months ago, whereas comparatively
little had as yet been done and the
street railway but a promise which he
did not really believe would ever be
complied with by the company.
His views were given considerable
emphasis throughout.
After further debate, pro and con,
Alderman Childers introduced a res
olution to the effect that the company
be allowed to give a surety bond in
the sum of $4,000 in lieu of a certt-
fed check for $4,000 the bond to be
drawn up at once by the city attorney.
Under the terms of the Childers
resolution the entire contract must
be completed by tbs railway company
by April 18th next under forfeiture of
$100 daily, at the end of that time un-
tie the contract is completed.
Both City Attorney Maynard and
Mayor Hawkins, upon request, ex-
pressed the opinion that a surety
bond could be executed which would
afford the city the same protection as
would a check, if made to recover ac-
tual damage.
This, in substance, was the con
clusion thus reached.
Upon motion the council took a
recess until Friday night when City
Attorney Maynard will present the
resolution and terms of proposed
bond for further consideration and
adoption. This agreement suited
President Walker.
In the meantime the Allen resolu-
ton remains of force until the pro
posed Childers amendment is finally
passed Upon.

MERCHANTS ARE MAKING
DISPLAY AT HALL
Space Asked at Board of
Trade Rooms.

Americus merchants and manufac-
lures are readily availing themselves
of the privilege accorded all in MAX
ing displays of goods at the Board
of Trade headquarters Several neat
exhibits were thus placed yesterday,
and many others will follow
The splendid advantage offered is
appreciated, and many of the leading
houses will have exhibits.
One of the most attractive placed
there yesterday was that of John w.
Shiver consisting of handsome cabi-
net mantels, with tiled hearth, all
made at his big plant here
Mr Shiyer will generously fit up
the managers office, supplying desk,
railing, gates, ETC., all made at his
factory, except the rolltop desk. The
Allison Furniture Co, will also fit
up handsomely with desk etc, the
office intended for visitors.
Here strangers and others in the
city may sit and rest, write letters and
feel perfectly at home.
w. O. Barnett has an attractive dis
play of home made harness and
fine leather goods, with samples of
the he. Sc collars made at his exten-
sive collar factory here The display
is a large glass case and occupies a
place of prominence.
Several exhibits of cotton grain and
seeds have been placed.
Both the local photographers.
Stephenson and Kelly, have artistic
displays of their fine work.
Merchants are to be given use of
the large show windows in making
displays, each merchant, alternately,
having an entire window for week.
This feature is one that should ap-
peal directly to the many enterpris-
ing dealers here.
New exhibits will be arriving con-
stantly, and the Board of Trade hall
will prove a fine reflex of the coun-
ty and city alike

ligion here is really on unexpressed
Unitarianism Professed Christians
and those who have not accepted
Christ alike seem to have lost faith
in salvation through Jesus The great
mass are utter strangers to the SEN
timents poured out by David in these
verses. Being heart broken by the
conviction of sin is beyond the COM
prehension of the vast majority. Doc
trinal truths are known to them, but
their souls are starving. I'VE have
not come into a realization of the
full meaning of the truths that have
been taught to us" declared Mr..
Venable There is too little con-
sciousness of sin, too much glaring
neglect. 1t requires the most ear
nest heed to hold salvation, to keep
from letting it slip from us. We are
too apt to lose the sweet conscious
ness of forgiven sin, not by gross
acts, not by open revolt but by SIM
pie neglect To part with it it is
only necessary to neglect Gods means
of grace To lose the consciousness
of forgiven sin it is only necessary to
do-nothing The strong temptation
With our people is to simply let go
and drift. That is the great danger
to Christianity in this presumably
Christian nation Neglect brings
starving, strengthless spirits, com
fortress hearts, barren lives. The
sacrifices God demands from us are
broken spirits, hearts borne down
with the realization of the enormity
of acknowledged sin. We must cry
out to God for his mercy, we must
echo David's passionate utterance for
pardon There is no condition more
miserable than that ofthe individual
who harbors sin in his heart until it
robs him of the sweet consciousness
of forgiveness. There is no prayer
mere imperative for usto make than
this prayer of David We must pray
to God with the agony of deep des-
pair to wash US until we are whittier
than snow

vote.
In almost every county negroes
have polled their full voting strength
and worked hard at the polls. The
chief interest apparently has been ia
the vote on amendment
The gubernatorial race has excited
little or no attention, ballots cast in
all the counties with few exceptions
being for Jos. NJ Brown.
Yancey Carter it appears, has not
had the support today he expected.
Many who did not wish to vote for
Joe Brown remained away from the
polls.
Advices show clearly that Brown
received overwhelming majority in
gubernatorial contes and straight
Democratic ticket with possible excep-
ton of the suffrage amendment, has
swept the State.

Personal Effort Required

The connection between personal
effort for the salvation of others and
this personal consciousness of sins
forgiven, the possession of that sweet
peace which passeth understanding,
was dwelt upon forcefuIly by the
speaker. The joy for which David
prayed said he. is the gift of God,
irrespective of our deserts The
conversion of sinners is the work of
the holy spirit The activity between
the two that links them together is
yours and mine. If we long for the
consciousness Of forgiven sin we
must likewise long for the conversion
of sinners, we must unite the two by
Christian activity on our own part.
Conversion of The lost and personal
conscious peace of soul depends upon
the activity of the believer in saving
souls Ior Christ Seekers after the
joy that David prayed for must drive
out heartbreaking indifference and re
place it with intense personal actiyi-
ty in the salvation of souls still il
sin.
Mr. Venable then dwelt upon What
it would mean to this country and
the world at large if those protesting
to be followers of Christ in this land
were overwhelmed with the sense
of personal responsibility, with the
consciousness. that they must person
ally win souls for Christ. The possi-
bility of their lives would then be
boundless. Too few have realized the
Joy of leading a soul to Christ, too
few have ever spoken word to
another on this line, too few realize
the direct connection that must exist
between the conversions of souls and
such immediate work on their own
part The joy that comes with the
consciousness of forgiveness cannot
b efelt unless we seek to fill in the
gap between souls lost and the gift
of salvation Nothing can take the
place of individual effort, no one can
escape this responsibility Forge

Afternoon and Night Work.

At the afternoon session the time
was devoted to the reading of reports
on the state of religion in the various
churches represented, showing them
to be in a healthful spiritual state,
with considerable interest manifested
in all departments of Christian activ-
ity.
Last night a large congregation
gathered. Rev ] B. Carpenter spoke
on Missions in the Sunday School,
a fervent plea for the instilling of the
seeds of devotion to the missionary
cause in the minds of the young. If
the Bible is to be taught in the Sun
day Schools it must teach foreign
missions, said he No other explana-
ton is possible in teaching the acts
of the apostles or the progress and
development of the Church after the
death of Christ. The spread of the
Church is due to the missionary
spirit of its people. The missionary
spirit must be installed in the children
while in the Sunday Schools, it's ur-
gercy impressed upon their minds
whilethey are in their most impress
ionable stage. Ideas are what domi-
nate the lives of men and the idea
siding and promoting foreign an
home missions must be impaired
when young The best methods of
doing this in the Sunday School were
dwelt upon. In the afternoon Mr..
Carpenter had given an entertaining
and instructive talk on the scope,
equipment, methods and extension of
Sunday School work.
Rev. DR.. James E. Forgartie, presi-
dent of Young's Female College,
Thomasville, one of the most promis-
ing of the Presbyterian educational
institutions in this section, presented
its claims upon Christian people seek
ing an excellent place for the educa-
ton of their daughters. While con-
trolled and supported by the Presby-
terian church the institution is in no
sense sectarian and apparently has a
very bright prospect of future in
creasing usefulness.

Douglass, of First church, Macon.

Enthusiasm of Corea Christians

Taking Corea as one of the most
striking Illustrations of the power
of the Gospel to save nations, and of
it's tremendous awakening power
when once it has secured a foothold,
Mr.. Venable stated that in that land
a nation seems to be coming to
Christ in day. Their JOY in their
salvation is a great conscious reality
to them. While a people not given to
displaying signs of emotion, many OF
them have been known to weep when
they heard the story of salvation and
received Christ into their lives. A
newspaper correspondent describing a
praver meeting among them stated
that it brought him nearer to heaven
than anywhere else on earth, their
ioy was so deep, so intense, so con-
tagious. Their anxiety to bring others
10 the enjoyment of the same bless
ings they had themselves received and
to fit themselves for useful Chris
tian work among their fellow coun-
trvmen were features of their Chris
tian life that put to shame the apathy
of Christians in other lands. The
question they ask each other is Have
YOU brought a soul to Christi" The
result of their personal efforts has
been the conversion of souls by hun
dreds and thousands until the whole
nation seems on the threshold of en-
bracing the Christian faith

Our Land a Vast Contrast

In our own land, said Mr.. Venable,
in contrast with this spirit of devo-
tion and earnest effort in Corea, we
find a heart breaking indifference that
bodes a dark future. All the churches
combined are scarcely keeping UP
with the increase in population. The
charge is made that the dominant re-

The Macon Presbytery resumed its
work at S:45 yesterday morning, the
new moderator presiding The ses-
sion was mainly given over to rou-
tine matters, the only feature of gen.
aral interest being the admission into

text two verses from David's 51st

thy salvation and uphold me with thy
free spirit, then will | teach trans
grassors Thy ways; and sinners shall
be converted unto tnee." From this
Mr.. Venable discoursed on the JOY
