Famous Men Buried in Princeton
Cemetery, Where Simple Stone
Marks Grave of Cleveland.

PRINCETON, N. 1.-THE Prince
ton cemetery, in which the only mon
ument to the late Grover Cleveland
has just been erected over his grave,
is the resting place of probably more
men famous in colonial and revolu-
tionaTy history than any other bury
ing ground in the country. The more
ancient parts of the little cemetery
have undergone few changes since
the beginning, and the quaint Latin
inscriptions on some of the graves,
reading like chapter of American
history, still preserve the atmosphere
of a brilliant generation long since
dead.
In contrast to the severely plain
gravestones of the leaders of educa-
tiOnal and political life of a hundred
years ago are some of the pretentious
monuments of the more recently de-
parted prosperous townspeople in the
newer part of the cemetery; and still
another contrast to these is the sim
pie dignified and beautiful monument
over the grave of President Cleve-
land. 1t is of Tennessee marble, a
nearly cubica1 base about five feet
high, with an ornamental top. 1t
bears the inscription: Grover Cleve-
land, born Caldwell, N. j., March 18,
1897, died Princeton, N. j., June "a.
19oS.' Next to his grave is that
of Ruth Cleveland, his daughter,
who died in 1904.

GROWTH OF BAPTIST CRURgH
ONE PERSON OUT OF EVERY
EIGHTEEN A COMMUNICATE.
Last Year Raised $22, 813,S64 For
Religious Purposes, Exclusive
of Gifts to Education.

VA OAiNS 10
One person out of every eighteen
in the United States is commune
cant of the Baptist church. One
probably out OF every six is either
a communicate of a member of a
Baptist family and with leaning by
birth and early training toward that
faith. And the army of Baptists is
growing rapidly, so that, within a
quarter of a century, in all likeli-
hood, the proportion of Baptists may
be one to every five, or every four
of the population.
When George Washington took
the oath of office as the first presi-
dent of the United States only one
person out of every "a was a Bap-
fist. The difference between that
proposition and the one existing to-
day, in view of the enormous growth
of the country in population, tells
the story of the onward march of
this great Protestant church.
The following data concerning the
church presents concisely important
facts that will be of interest not only
to the members of this particular
church, but to all church people:
Among the Protestant denomina-
lions of the United States the Bap-
lists rank second. They number s.
662,334. The Methodists are first
with 5,749,S38.
The Baptists of the United States
raised last year for church work
$22, 8l3,S 1854. This does not include
their gifts to education.
They own and control ten theolog-
ical seminaries, valued at 1897
600, with an endowment fund OF
100000.
They own and control "a UNIVERSE
ties and colleges, valued at $28,846,-
OS5, with an endowment of $685.
212,869.
They have $4,000 students in
their colleges and universities. This
means that about one-seventh of all
the university and college students
in the United States are in the Bap-
fist colleges.
They own about one-eighth of all
i the college and university property
in the United States, and control
one-ninth of the endowment funds
Besides their universities and col
leges the Baptists own and control
"a secondary schools, valued at $4,-
245, 4O7, with an endowment fund OF
is1,6S4.094. They have in these
schools 14,452 students.
The Baptists of the United States
have nearly $75,O00,O0O invested in
educational work.
In the year 1900 there were So.
600 Baptists in the United States
On January 1, 1909, there were s.,
145,1 lab Baptists in good standing il
the United States.
The fifteen southern states com
prising the territory of the Southern
Baptist Convention have within theil

returned to Savannah, and was later
made presiding elder of the Augusta
district, which took in both Savan-
nah and Augusta.
In 1867 the Georgia Methodist con-
ference was divided into the North
and South Georgia conferences, and
because of his affiliations Mr.. Mac
Donell remained in the South Geor-
gla conference. He was assigned to
-Ameficus, but was transferred to
trinity church in Savannah in 1868.
ana remained with the church until
1910, when he was made pastor of
wesley church, known then as "Cof-
fee Pot Church." The church at that
time had been moved to the vacant
lou which is now back of the present
site OF Wesley Monumental church.
He remained pastor of that church
until 1874 when he was assigned
TO the passionate of the First Street
church in Macon. In 1876 he re-
turned to Savannah, having been
again made presiding elder of the
district.
In Another Fever Epidemic.
While acting as presiding elder in
1876 he served through another and
most terrible epidemic of yellow fe-
yer. In 1877 he went to the Null
perry church, in Macon, and remained
there four years returning to Sa-
vannah as pastor of the new Wesley
church. At that time only the base
ment of the church was finished, and
the services were held in it. From
Savannah he went to Columbus as
pastor of st. Luke's Methodist
church, and was later made presiding
elder of the Columbus district, serv-
ing in that capacity four years. He
was next made presiding elder of the
Waycross district, and was then as
signed the pastorate of the church
at Dawson. For the second time he
was made presiding elder of the Co
lumbus district, before going to
Blackshear, which was his last pas
torate before returning to Savan-
nah. On his return here he was
made conference missionary secre-
tary and was superannuated while
acting in that capacity.

Shortly after taking up his career
as minister Mr.. MacDonell married
Miss Margaret Walker, daughter OF
the late Col. Robert D. Walker, and
for half century she shared his joys
and sorrows. Judge A. H. MacDonell

There is reaper whose name is death,
And with his sickle keen,
lie reaps the bearded grain at a breath
And the flowers that grow between -
On the afternoon of April 18th the
grim old reaper came with his sickle
keen and enriched his harvest by
cutting down our friend and fellow
worker, Mrs. M. ]. Yeomans.
Although practically an invalid for
the last two years her going away
in the prime of womanhood and the
flower of motherhood seemed very
premature, and the shock to friends
and associates was no less severe.
Mrs. Yeomans was among the char
ter members of the Wednesday After
noon Club, but i'll health forced her
to withdraw for several years. How,
ever, we were glad to welcome her
back into our ranks this last year.
During the entire time her activity
as club member was measured only
by her physical strength. AS club
members we shall miss her co-opera-
ton, and we commend her life of
kindly, sympathetic deeds to all.
Our hearts go out in deep SYM
pathy to the bereaved husband, rela-
tives and to the motherless little
ones.
Therefore be it resolved, That
these expressions of our grief and
sympathy be spread upon the pages
OF the minutes of the Wednesday
Afternoon Club, and also that copy
be sent to the bereaved family. Re-
spectfully submitted,

INSURANCE COMPANIES
NOT ON The Level

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 21.-From in
formation received by Insurance Com
missioner T. NJ. Henry, it is believed
that several insurance companies
that have failed to comply with the
laws of this state are trying to do
business in Mississippi through regu-
larly authorized agencies.
Mr.. Henry has received a letter
asking whether an agency can place a
policy with company not doing bust
ness in the state, while another letter
asks concerning certain com
panies, which Mr.. Henry said
had never applied for adj
mission, and that neither of these
companies was authorized to do bust
ness here.
in the case of an agency placing
a policy with company not authoriz-

ed to do business in Missis-
sippi,' said Mr.. Henry, such
agency violates the law and is subject
to all penalties provided by the
law. But there is nothing to prevent
the insured placing a policy with a
company not authorized to do bust
ness in the state, provided the insured
is willing to take the risk. But in that
event, the policy-holder should under
stand that, in case of loss, he is COM
pletely at the mercy of such compan-
les or brokers writing the policy. No
adjuster can come into the state in
such event, and no suit could be main
tanned to collect the claim, as there
would be no agent on whom to make
service.
when it is considered that these
brokers know these facts, and are do
ing business by the underground
route, violating the spirit of the
law, l would not gamble heavily
on the mercies of such companies
or brokers, in the event OF losses
which must, of necessity, be adjusted
before the claim can be paid.
My advice to the people of Missis
sippi is to have nothing to do with
such companies. If these concerns de
sire to do business in Mississippi let
them come in through the open dool
by complying with the laws of the
state. Let them get a license and
work in the bright sunlight like hon
est people who intend to pay their
claims"
Il doubt" said Mr.. Henry, whether
any of the six or eight companies men
toned could be licensed to do business
in Mississippi, as some of them are
mutuals, and no fire company can be
licensed in this state unless it has one
hundred thousand dollars cash CAPT
