AN APPEAL FOR ORPHANS

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Rev. w. A. Huckaby,
agent of the Orphans Home at Ma
con of the South Georgia Confer
ence. The plea made for this grand
institution is respectfully referred to
all charitable people who love hu-
mainly and helpless little childrn:
Il write to appeal to you in behalf
of our Orpans' Home, located in Ma
con, Ga. Will you in your plans for
benevolent contributions in this year
be sure not to forget these depend
ent little ones. Some in their zeal
for other good causes forgot last
year; consequently the Homes
finances fell short of 1906 over $500.
the Home would have to close it's
doors to many of those who apply
for admission. 1t would be sad in
deed to have to turn them away.
The home merits the support of
every benevolent person. First, be-
cause no helpless white child is ever
turned away Second, becaues of
the 1900 that have been in the
Home in the IS years of it's exist
ence only eight have died while
there, and only three or four have
gone astray after going out.
ITO support a child in the Home
costs $50 a year, or $3.50 for the
average of three years that one re-
mains there. And that is the cost

COMMITTEE MEETS TODAY
NAME TIME AND FIX RULES FOR
CONGRESSIONAL PRIMARY.
1t Is Not Unlikely That 1t Will BE
Held on June 4th. With the
State Primary.

Colonel H. A. Wilkinson, the Ter
rell county member of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of the
Second congressional district, left
Tuesday afternoon for Albany, and
will be present today when the com
mittee assemblies for the purpose OF
naming a date for the congressional
primary.
So far as The News is informed
neither of the candidates for congress
has expressed himself concerning a
date for the primary, and both of
them will doubtless be satisfied with
the action of the committee, what
ever it may be.
Prominent members of the party
throughout the district, however,
have been advocating the holding of
the congressional primary in connec-
ton with the state primary, and 1t
is not improbable that the executive
committee will order the primary for
June 4th.
That the primary will be lively
one is not doubted Hon. S. A. Rod
denbery is still stumping the district,
speaking alone. He has addressed
audiences in school houses, town
halls and court houses, and says he
will continue his campaign right up
to the primary. Congressman Griggs
has been in Washington since con-
gress convened, with the exception
of a few days, but will probably
come home before the primary and
be heard in all parts of the district.
trict.
The Second district is now the
largest in the state, numbering
eighteen counties, three of the num-
ber-Turner, Tiff and Grady-being
new counties.

1T WAS NOT GUS HURST.
The Old Hero of Many Fierce Con-
hiCt Still Lives.


The man who was killed on rail-
road trestle at Albany was not Gus
Hurst, former Sheriff of Thomas
county, after all.
The story that the mangled man
was Hurst has been refuted by the
very life-like form of the former
sheriff walking into Moultrie. He is
quite sure that the veteran officer
has lodged the grim monster again,
while his double has probably played
in harder luck.
This is not the first time that
Sheriff Hurst has lived down a re-
port of being dead. Several months
ago very tragic story was published
throughout the state of his being
killed by a party of Thomas county
moonshiners. When his friends were
in the midst of their grief over his
departure he suddenly turned up
one day and called off all the mourn
ing.
When seen and presented with the
story of his tragic death sent out
from Albany the stern face of this
old hero of many a fierce conflict
first betrayed surprise, then humor
and finally with an expression OF
semi-seriousness he declared that he
wished the report might have been
true.

Refused to Pay Three and Half
Cents Mile Fare. Was Elected

The nap of ticket agent at Adel
may involve the Georgia Southern
and Florida railroad in an interest
ing lawsuit unless something is done
to soothe the wounded feelings of a
young lawyer, Colonel Ernest Ed
wards of Valdosta, a brother of
Judge M. C. Edwards of Dawson,
who went to Abel to deliver an ad-
dress before the Pythians of that
place and started home on the
''shoofy'' train which reached Abel
half an hour late.
Mr.. Edwards and some other par
ties were at the Abel depot and made
several attempts to purchase tlckets'
but the agent could not be aroused.
When the train arrived they got
aboard. and when the conductor went
through he wanted three and nall
cents mile. 1t was explained that
the agent was not on duty at Adel,
but the conductors rules were I'M
changeable. He demanded the three
and a half cents fare and Mr.. Ed
wards refused to pay il, declaring
that he would stand out for the prln-
ciple of the thing. Then the train
was stopped and he was elected in
swamp about half way between
Abel and Cecil.
The night was bitter cold and the
wind howIed pitilessly, but the
young lawyer footed it to Cecil,
where he secured quarters for the
night and finished up his trip on
the early train next morning.
The road will be called upon for
an amount sufficient to repair the
injury to the plaintiff in several
ways.

SERMoNE

Disloyai to their God in their
own land, the Jews fell easy vic
tins to the influences with
which they found themselves
surrounded in Egypt, and II was
not long before they were In
dulaine in all the idolatrous
practices Of the Egyptians, burn
ing incense to the queen Of
heaven and pouring out drink
offerings unto her.
Then the word of the Lord
came to Jeremiah concerning
all Of the Jews that dwelt in
Egypt.
Note two things:
First. The mercy and long
suffering kindness Of God In
seeking to turn his people from
their evil ways. Despite their
wicked refusal to listen to his
voice and not 60 down into
Egypt, he goes after the wan
dering sheep there and strives
60 bring them back to himself.
God never gives up soul until
the utmost effort on his part
has been exhausted to win IL
back to the paths Of righteous
ness. Remember that.
Second. Johanan's evil pur-
pose in dragging jeremiah off
to Egypt turns to the bringing
about Of good. jeremiah In
Egypt will not be silent, and
there amidst the wiekedness Of
the Jews he lifts his voice
against their idolatrous prac-
tees, and warns them Of the
awful evils that are to come
upon them because Of their
wrong doing.
Notice, also, as you read this
forty-fourth chapter, the reply
which the people make to Jere-
miah, betokening the depths
spiritually to which they had
; fallen. Before they had come
) into Egypt they had spoken Of
; sour God" and had excused

OF jeremiah by declaring that
he, the prophet, had spoken

THE STORY.

TT JEREMIAH had hoped when he
/ was carried down into Egypt with
the people under Johanan that there
would be a turning of the people back
to God and a longing for return TO
Jerusalem, he was forced to abandon
such thought after a few months So
journ In the land of the Pharaohs. On
every hand he saw evidences Of the
utter abandon of the Jews TO the
Egyptian influences, Partly to ingrati-
ate themselves into the favorable con-
sideration of the Egyptians and partly
to crafty an intensely religious ma
ture which demanded some form of
worship, the Jews seemingly Wed
with each other In seeing how COM
pletely they could do homage to the
gods of the Egyptians and they be-
came regular devotees at the altars
of these gods, burning incense and
poarlng out drink offerings before the
queen of heaven.
At Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and
at Noph, and In the country OF Path
ros, where the Jews had settled the
same conditions prevailed, as Jeremi.

passed from place to place and beheld
the idolatrous practices of the Jews.
II seemed as though the heart of the
prophet would break with rs burden

held--God seemingly was utterly for

the year 1907, and up TO the present
date. We find, further, that a SINH
lar system was recognized by former
boards of county commissioners,
hence, the violation of the law which
is now especially brought to our at
tention, is apparently only one step
in a long succession of violations of
the same law which has taken place,
under this and other administrations.
In concluding this subject we beg
leave to say that in our opinion,
based upon the findings in this case,
we believe that the present system
of collecting and making returns on
the poll tax assessment, is the most
economical, practical and effective
system that could be followed under
conditions prevailing here, and it is
our further opinion that the law COW
ering this matter is imperative when
applied to a county situated as is the
county of Nye.
With reference to the infringement
/ of the law which requires the sheriff
to pay over property tax collected on
Monday of each month, we beg leave
to recommend that in the future this
law be complied with, and we also
recommend that the law governing
the disposition of the poll tax moneys
also be followed as nea as possible
by turning over to the county treas
urer as prescribed all poll tax receipts
actually in his possession.
