Vandals Burn Pipe Organ

Meridian, Mss, Sept. 20.-An
outrageous piece of malicious
mischief came to light today,
when it was discovered that the
handsome So, 500 pipe organ at
the First Baptist church had
been put out of commission by
an incindiary. Panels of the
organ had been removed and
parts of the instrument set on
fire, allowed to burn a few mo-
ments and then extinguished.
In this way the miscreants sue
ceeded in damaging the instru-
ment to the amount of almost
ZOO.
The outrage has created great
indignation and every possible
effort is being set forth to dis
cover the guilty party or parties.
The damage is covered by insur-
ance, but the organ will be USE
less for some time. Church Of
ficials are at a loss to understand
what prompted the outrage.

REVIVAL SERVICES
CREATING INTEREST
HELD BY REV. GRANSCONB
CONGREGATION HAS 6ROWR GREATLY
WITH EACH PASS ING SERVICE. FINE
SERMON TUESDAY EVENING

Quite an interesting meeting
is now in progress in the city.
conducted at the First Methodist
church. The singing is led by
Rev r. p. Neblett, assisted by a
large choir. with Mrs. JOS
eph Peacher, pianist.
On Monday Rev. L. G. Brans-
comb, pastor of the First Meth
odist church, Birmingham, ar
rived and has been preaching
twice every day, at 10 a. m. and
8 p. m.
Mr.. Branscomb is a cultured
gentleman, scholarly. solid and
strong. His sermons deal with
old pulpit themes. but ne puts
truth in a new form, and with
new power. Congregations have
grown with each passing service
until the large edifice has been
filled with a great throng, eager
to hear the earnest and forceful
message of the preacher.
His sermon on Tuesday even
ing "Mending their Nets, was
especially fine. He showed how
the boys and girls and young
people sometimes slipped through
the church and Sunday school
and drifted out in the world and
finally went to ruin. He sug-
gested two remedies for this
widespread evil. One is, a more
intense interest in each others
religious welfare; and. the other
is, better home life. He spoke
of visiting a home sometime
since when the two-year old
baby was playing with a greasy
deck of cards, an empty beer
bottle and an old pistol. The
mother was very much embar-
rassed when the preacher walk
ed in.
The entire community is most
cordially invited to attend these
services.

New York, Sept. 10. Mayor
William J. Gaynor, in a letter to
his sister, Miss Mary E. Gaynor,
of Utica, N. Y, which is printed
this afternoon in the Evening
Post, tells in an interesting man
ner of his impressions at the
time he was shot on the steam
ship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse.
The Mayor says that he has
not read a line of what has been
published of the shooting, nor
does he now remember the name
of the man who shot him. Af-
ter going over the incident of
the shooting and describing his
sensations following the infic-
tion of the wound, Mayor Gay
nor wrote:
Il was not bit afraid to die,
if that was Gods will of me.
said to myself, just as well now
as few years from now. No
one who contemplates the i'm
mensity of Almighty God and of
his universe and his works, and
realizes what an atom he is in it
all, can fear to die this flesh.
Though the thing had not
entered my head, that morning,
/ was not surpl ised when | real
lied that | was shot. / had had
a feeling for some weeks that |
might be assaulted on account of
the anonymous threats / was
getting by mail. | had ceased
walking over the Brooklyn
bridge"
Mayor Gayror, in the letter,
scored certain newspapers for
the manner in which they at
tackled him, saying:
Such journalism is, of course,
in absolute defiance of the crimi-
nal law and it did enter my
mind to publicly call on the
grand juries and the district at
torney to protect me from it, but
/ was weak and feared people
would say ] was thin skinned.
But the time is at hand when
these journalistic sc .undrels have
got to stop or get out and | am
ready to do my share to that end.
The journalism of New York
City has been dragged to the
lowest depth Of degradation.

Mr.. James Newby. Jr.. the en-
terprising manager has booked

to note that this promises TO be

posed 10 the Federal govern
ment issuing license to sell whis-
key and gave an interesting and
impressive illustration of death
traps on land and on sea.
Mr.. Alexander does not pro-
pose to waste any time In pro-
claiming to the white people of
Mississippi that they are supe-
rior to negroes. He believes it
fallacy to attempt to discuss the
subject. He ridiculed the idea
of attempting to secure white
supremacy that is given us of
God.
The speaker referred to the
promise that was made the peo-
pie of the state by Vardaman
that the school fund would be
divided according to the taxes
paid by each race, and as all
know sthere was nothing ever
done to redeem this pledge
In referring to the caucus held
in Jackson he said there was
not one particle of difference be-
tween it and any other caucus.
Throughout his speech he re
Trained from personalities, be-
lieving that there was no good
to come from charges and
counter-charges of a personal
nature that throw no light on
any issue that controls the. choice
of a senator. Mr.. Alexander is
seeking the office solely on the
grounds that he is in every way
worthy and fitted for it. That
he made a good impression on
everyone who heard him was
very evident, and the general
has been that if he
should be chosen, Mississippi's
interests will be we'll guarded.
At the conclusion of the ad

ALEXANDER MADE
FINE IMPRESSION
SPOKE TO LARGE AUDIENCE
DISCUSSED THE POLITICAL ISSUES OF
THE DAY IN A VERY MASTERLY AND
CONVINCING MANNER.

Several hundred citizens of
the county greeted Hon. G. H.
Alexander on Monday morning
when he appeared in this city
for the first time and discussed
the vital political issues of the
day.. Mr.. Alexander is one of
the logical candidates for the
United States senate. and his
culture. dignity and patriotism
will go far towards molding the
opinion of voters.
Hon. f. r. Sherman. chair
man of the democratic executive
committee made the formal in
PRODUCTION in which he paid Mr.
Alexander a just and beaut-
iful tribute. Mr.. Alexander
began by saying that it was
a great pleasure to appear
before the people of this city and
country, as he has regarded Co
lumbus, since his earliest youth,
as being one of the most cultur-
ed places of the state, and was
glad to be here and know the
people better. He stated that it
was the first time in life that he
had come before the people ask
ing the bestowal of office, and it
was his ambition to serve Mis-
sissippi and bear some part in
her material, intellectual and
moral uplift. The vital issues
which confront the people were
outlined and discussed and he
gave a logical talk concerning
each subject, leaving out the
conservation of our national re-
sources.
Mr.. Alexander next referred
to the great corporations in poll
tics He believes that corpora
tions are necessary in the busi-
ness world and will always exist,
the question of their regulation
should be approached in a spirit
of fairness to them and their
stockholders with due regard to
their constitutional rights, yet
with firm resolve to protect the
rights of the people who, being
unorganized, most need protec-
ton. During the "a years that
he has practioed law in jackson,
he has had no attorneyship for
public utility corporations and
has declined lucrative offers to
become attorney and even gen.
eral counsel for railroads, pre-
fering to remain an independent
general practitioner.
The speaker in discussing the
liquor traffic said that sooner or
later it is to become a national
as well state issue, and be-
lieves that national regulation in
interstate commerce in regard to
intoxicating liquours will con-
