RECIPE:

grammc OF religious freedom mapped
out by the preceding ministry. This
included revision Of the concordat and
the compelling of unauthorized re-
ligiouS orders to seek authorization
under the law adopted in 1887. The
establishments of some religious orders
not complying with the terms OF this
law have been since closed by the
government.
An imperial decree Of June II per-
mitted Catholic religious cdificcs
to display the insignia for public wor-
ship. The vatican protested on the
ground that the status quo should be
continued until the revision of the con-
cordat had been completed. Canaleias
replied that il the issue of the de-
cree was coupled with the revision ne
gotiations the latter would be broken
off. The vatican remained firm in its
attitude that the subject Of the decree
must be first disposed OF, and following
a cabinet meeting on Friday. Canalc-
jas announced sthat the papal protest
against the decree would be ignored
and the governments programme as
authorized carried out.
The Spanish government has received
by telegraph another note from the
vatican, in which it is stated that the
vatican will reply TO the full text Of the
governments proposals, which have
now arrived. This leaves the ncgo;ia
tions between the Spanish government
and the vatican relative to the subject
OF the church and non-Cathoic re-
ligious societies still in abcyaucc, and
practically where they were week ago.

AUToMoBILE ACCIDENTS.

| After striking Ruth Nood, 10
year-old colored girl, near Rockville,
Md, yesterday afternoon, Roy n.
Palmer, Washington automobile
agent, lost control of his car. II
dragged the girl SO yards, dropped
down small cmbankment, threw Mr..
| Palmer out and then went on another
so yards until negro stopped it.
Mr.. Palmer's skull is fractured. The
girl died last night.
Mr.. Palmer was probably overcome
when he hit the little girl, who was
walking along with four companions.
She was almost at her door whom the
car came along. She seemed be-
wildered and ran to the right side OF
the road when her companions went
the other way. Her mother was IN
the door and saw her child hit. At
the moment of the, crash the car
sweryed as if Mr.. Palmer had col
lapsed. 1t went wild across the road,
then turned to one side and went
down the declivity. A wheel flew
off and the driver landed on his head.
4 negro, who happened by, jumped TO
the wheel of the machine and stopped
it so yards farther.
Hampton Magazine for July, which
has been received from its publishers
in New York, presents most attractive
table of contents. The latest instalment
OF Commander Peary's Discovery Of
the North Pole" tells of his trip beyond
his previous farthest north" and pre-
scnts many proofs which he refused to
turned over to Congress. The second
act OF Rostrand's "Chantecler" is given
and Chas. F. Russell continues his at
tack upon the financial corruptncss Of
the Southern Pacific Railroad in Cali
fornia. A fighting chance for the
city child" reveals many startling facts
about diseased children in our large
towns. Personalities, Excess bag
gage" and The speed kings" are most
readable and the fiction OF this issuc is
far above the average.
Two persons were instantly killed,
three dangerously injured, and two
others hurt, when q large automobile
was struck near Charleroi Pa. ycster
day afternoon by one OF the heavy
suburban cars of the Pittsburg Street
Railway Company.
The dead are William H. Hamilton,
aged 43 yelrs, an undertaken OF Roscoe,
Pa, and his son Roy aged % years.
The accident occurred ut Bcechwood
Park crossing about 4 mile south OF
Charleroi. The crossing is approached
at a considerable down grade and it is
believed that Hamilton miSjudged the
speed of the approaching trolley car.
The occupants were thrown as if
from catapult, Hamilton and his son,
who were on the front seat, landing on
their heads. The automobile took fire
after the accident.
An automobile, containing Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. F. Block, became unmanage-
able at Cape May last night and dashed

was killed, and two companions whom
he took on q 10y" ride at q. IN. yes
terday were injured. when the machine
crashed into telegraph pole at Smeth-
port, Pa. Harold Mccarthy, one of
the party, is in serious condition, and
Frank Purt!e, the third member bears

HOLIDAY IS GIVEN FOR
A WEEK IN SCHOOL S


The Americus public schools will
shut down tomorrow for one week,
the teachers going to Atlanta to at
tend the session of the state teach
ers convention. Many of the county
teachers will attend as we'll, and both
Supt. Miller and Supt. Moore will
carry up representative delegations.
The meeting in Atlanta will be the
first the organization has held in that
city in fifteen or twenty years. Last
year the meeting was held at Cum
berland Island, where the association
has erected an auditorium Of its own,
but an effort will be made at this
coming session to. designate Atlanta
as permanent meeting place. AS an
extra inducement to secure the at
tendance of every teacher in the state
a special request has been made of
the various county boards of educA-
ton that they allow their teachers to
spend Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, 2S, 29 and 80, in attendance up
on the meeting.

Atlanta, Ca, April 25-"The cot

been practically destroyed" said Com
missioser of Agriculture Thomas G.
Hudson this morning.

replanting necessary. Most of the
cotton in the territory / have named
was planted the latter part of March
and the first part of April In my
opinion all of this is hepeIessly ruin
ed. Cotton planted within the past
week will fair better. The seed plant
ed within the last five of six days

and may escape the fate of that plant

ever, has suffered.
1T certainly does look blue for cot
ton" continued Commissioner Hudson.
The farmers of the state have sold
their cotton seed closer this year
than l have ever known them to do
before, and there IS practically none
on hand for replantlng. With the crop
in middle Georgia doomed and no seed
for replanting, it looks now as if not
more than one-siXth Of a crop can be
raised this year. That cotton in South

SHAPING AFFAIRS FOR
,HURSDAf'S OPENING
Brilliant Social Event Now
Seems Assured.
Plans Also being Laid
for Future of the
Country Club.

Responses to the invitations to the
formal opening Of the Sumter Coun-
ty Country Club House on Thursday
evening, are pouring in on Sec'n
Crawford Wheatley, and there is every
prospect of the attendance being very
large. Hundreds will attend at the
reception, from to 10 p. NJ, and
large number will go out for the
dance that begins at that hour and
continues on until midnight, or later
LilHs orchestra, of Columbus, has
been engaged for the occasion. 1t en-
braces the best musicians in that
city. The floor is being planed, fill
ed and polished, and should be smooth
enough the opening night to suit the
most fastidous of dancers.
All of the committees charged with
the preparations for the event have
been giving their duties attention. The
ladies will begin decorating Wednes-
day and VIII use an abundance of
green in the interior work The COM
mittee on refreshments is providing
an ample supply of light punch, tn~
choicest sandwiches, ice cream and
cake and coffee. Enough walters will
be on hand to attend to the guests, no
matter how numerous they may be.
Those whb have not yet advised
Sect Wheatley as to their intention
are requested to do so at once. as the
committee will be Governed in it's ar
rangements to a considerable extent
by the number of acceptances receiy-
ed.
After the opening reception and
dance invitations will be issued for
membership applications. The club
should speedily secure a list of at
least two hundred members. That
would be a small membership, con-
sidering the attractive club quarters,
and less than is generally found in
city with the white population Amer
cus has.
There is some discussion already as
TO the means of transportation to the
club house Many of the members,
perhaps a majority, will be the own
ers of autos or other vehicle, but
there will be a large number of orl,~
ers not possessing such means of
transportation. 1t has been suggest
ed that as early as possible the club
arrange for the running of carryall
leaving the hotel corner at certain
hours each evening, and taking pas
sengers to and from the club house
for ten cents each ySev or fifteen cents
for the round trip. 1t is believed that
by paying the proprietor of such an
outfit a monthly bonus the club could
make such an arrangement, which
would prove popular with many mem
bers and be the means of adding to
the membership.
The qeustion Of the tennis courts,
golf links bowling alley, ETC., will be
given careful consideration as soon as
the membership list is under way. The
tennis courts will be put IN at once
The other provisions for recreation
will be added as speedily as possible
Comb nation billiard and pool tables
will also be among the pleasures OF
the club house.
1t is probable that printed invita-
tions for membership will be issued
early next week.

the local situation. With the utmost
vigor he urged the men of Americus
to find the points on which they could
agree relative to development and to
meet on those points, sweeping aside
all minor differences of opinion that
set men in opposing camps. They SHOULD
seek propositions that should unite
all rather than separate all This
part of his speech was particularly
impressive as it showed in a few
sentences the close relation between
cooperation and development.
He had during the day received
some very favorable impressions re-
garding the transitions going on IN
this delightful little city and he re-
ferred to these changes as being a
stimulus for further changes and de-
velopment in keeping with the re-
sources of this region. In closing
he made it a personal question as
to whether the men who listened
believed what he said or believed
what they read and understood re-
garding this region, the state of Geor-
gia and the South. His final state
ment was that only one form of belief
counts in this world. If man be-
lieves in the value of his immortal
soul he has to show it in his acts.
If a man believes downdeep in his
heart regarding his state and his vii
cinity he has got to show it in his
acts. If he says he believes and
then gives time or thought to hinder
ing effort around him, either by hos
tility or inertia, it is proof that his
statement of belief is not borne out
in his daily life.
