Tuesday that the gentlemen would
arrive that night. He at once ar
ranged to take a party of represent
ative citizens in automobiles over the
territory offering the best opportu-

The machines Of Sam Frankel, M.
H. McGrew and others were used to
convey the gentlemen over the pro
posed routes. Yesterday morning
they went to GAINESVILLE, across
the country to Lafayette and thence
back to the city, covering two routes
in one day.
Today it is planned to go to Boil
var, across to Pembroke and Elkton
and back by Fairview and the Davis
Home.
The promoters will then make a
decision upon which will depend the
future outcome.
The line to GAINESVILLE will cross
the Cumberland river and will affect
the freight situation more than the
Others and connect the two princi.
pal cities of this region.
The Lafayette route is badl!
needed ,eas it would penetrate ter
ritory without a railroad or a turn
pike and connect Hopkinsvile will

The Fairview route has possibili
ties of heavy passenger business
as the Davis Memorial Park is des.
tined to be one of the tourist centers
of the South.
The business men will give all pos
sible encouragement to the project,
as the great benefits of one or more
lines are appreciated by all.

DUCEY
MARTYR TO DUTY
Always Friend of the Poor, New

the most noted clergymen in the eoun-
try. is being mourned by the entire city

was caused by dropsy.
Father Dueey's illness began three
months ago, but he managed to at
tend to his duties In connection with

CONVERTED NATIVES BY
DIGGING A WELL
Newark Pastor Tells OF John &,
PattOn's Novel Method.

John, g.. Patton and his method of
converting the natives of the South
Sea Islands, formed the subject of the
sermon preached yesterday by the Rev.
Isaiah b. Hopwood. pastor of the Cal
vary Presbyterian Church.
MANY were dying of thirst and the
survivors were praying and soliciting
the aid of the rain-gods with no avail, :"
he said, when DR.. Patton arrived
and carefully looked over the situa-
ton. He came to the conclusion that
a well might be sunk which would
vield fresh water. In the midst of a
sneering crowd he began to dig a well.
And when they found he was really In
earnest about it, his unheard-of way of
searching for water aroused their SUI
perstitious fears. He persuaded the ma
tives to pull a windlass rope and draw
up the loosened earth as the we'll sank
deeper and deeper. He dug the earth
with his own hands. After digging the
we'll thirty feet or more he truck a
spring. Tremblingly he tasted. 1t was
pure fresh water. The effect was mar
velous. Then the natives believed him
a great prophet. And now the people
believe all that he has told them about
God.
The sequel was marvellous. A church
was built, idols We're destroyed, schools
Were established, a good government
grew up, a tribe of cannibals was
changed into a well ordered commu-
nifty, and when | heard him in this
country on his last visit he told US
tina on that island there We're at least
1000 family affairs from which ascended
to HEAVIER the prayer and praise of de-
yout souls. Now that brief story is a
condensed history of the mission and
of the gospel of Jesus Christ
among men of every cast and COLOR
