TWO MEETINGS OF INTEREST
FRIDAY AT FURLOW LAWN
Large Congregations At Two Daily
Services.

The revival meetings at Furlow
Lawn Baptist church continue with in
creasing interest Rev. j. Clyde Tur-
ner preached most interesting and
helpful sermons at both services yes
terday.
At the afternoon service he handled
his theme in a masterful manner
showing the illimitable resources of
Christ in salvation, in the life of the
Christian and in the glory life of
the heavenly world.
At night he presented in simple, yet
in a powerful way, the gospel method
of salvation and life.
There will be no service today, but
Mr.. Turner will remain and preach at
every service Sunday, and also into
next week as we'll.
These meetings are accomplishing
great good in deepening the spirit life
of Christians, and in the salvation OF
the unsaved.
A number have already united with
the church and it is confidently ex-
pected that many more will be re-
ceived before the meetings close.

LARGE LAND
DEAL is PUlL[D OFF
BahSen'S II Acre Tract
Sold Yesterday.

Another important real estate deal
was pulled off yesterday when Mr..
Fred B. Arthur, as agent, sold to Mr..
B. F. Arthur and associates the sew
enteen-acre tract owned by DR.. Balm
sen, formerly E James Mont
gomery place,
This property embraces seventeen
acres, adjoins the country club grounds
and has an attractive cottage home up
on it.
The price paid for the tract is not
made public
THIS tract also ad1oins the Howard
place, of forty-five acres, that Mr.. B
F. Arthur and associates bought on
Thursday. They now have sixty-twc
acres of fine level land, capable of de-
yelopment into magnificent suburban
section. 1t would not be surprising tC
see this disposition made of it in the
near future.
Mr.. B. F. Arthur is a Union, South
Carolina man, and his associates are
understood to be men of means in that
vicinity. Drawn to Americus by the
advertising the city has received in
the last year or two, Mr.. Arthur has
reached the conclusion that this place
las about as bright future, if it IS
pushed, as any place he knows of
He is accordingly casting in his lot
with Americus and may be the means
of inducing others to do likewise.

Whether Clark will face the music

Joe White is the negro who forced
entrance into residence near De

OF committing an assault. He was
convicted of burglary at the trial here

state pen.
White is in the coop and the state

REV. BASCOM ANTHONY
ON TEDDY AND POPE.
Nobody Has Right TO Criti-
else POpe'S Action.

Commenting on the RooseveIt-V Vati-
can incident DR.. Bascom Anthony, pas
tor of st. Luke,s Methodist Church,
thus expresses his view to the Column
bus Ledger.
AS to who shall be we1comed at his
house, the Pope is competent to de-
eide and nobody has a right to criti-
else him. In this he has the same
rights as other men AS to whether
or not they will accept his invitation
with all the restristions put upon it,
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr. Fairbanks are
competent to settle, and both settled
it as you would expect an American
to do. In all this nobody has right
to criticise either party.
''The real trouble is found in what
lies back of it all. The Pope's side
as given out by his representatives
is that the Methodists-and by the
way, it is not my church, but the
Northern Methodists- have been
using means in their work offensive to
the Pope. Two charges are made, first
that there is a lot of poor and needy
people around the vatican upon whom
the Methodists spent money and won
to their church, and secondly, that
they exposed for sale, and did sell
books that were far from compliment
tary to the Pope and the Catholic
church. I have heard no plea from
the other side, but on general princi-
pals guess they plead guilty, both
sides agreeing on facts, but differing
on their Interpretation of facts.
Modernism and mediavalism are
not apt to view facts from the same
angle. 1t is difficult for the Pope to
recognize himself simply as the head
of a church and not the head of the
church.
"It is equally as difficult for an
American to understand why anyone
should insist on his friends sneezing
when he takes snuff. Most Of US VIII
agree that the Methodists and Catho-
lies are able to fight out to a finish
without any outside interference"

DID THE WOMEN HAVE
PISTOLS IN THEIR HOSE? ?
Sheriff At Murder Trial Wanted To
Search Them.

Aberdeen, Miss, April ST am
told that some of the women friends OF
Mrs. Carter have got revolvers con-
cealed in their hose. What is the mat
ter with searching them?"
This, from Sheriff Jones, mounted on
a bench, at the opening of the Carter
murder trial here, caused wild ex-
citement in the courtroom. There
were 200 women present to hear the
final testimony, which was expected
TO be sensational.
"The men have been disarmed, why
not disarm the women?" Sheriff
Jones continued, and he was about
to volunteer to become one of the
searching party when Judge Mitchell
accused him of being ungallant in even
suggesting that the women should be
'afrisked" for weapons.
Taking courage from the rebuke oy
the judge, the women recovered from
their embarrassment and cries of de-
rision were directed at Sheriff Jones.

HATS LIGHTER AND BIGGER
SO THE RATES GO UP
Railroads Also Have a Kick On WO.
mems Headgear.

Washington, D c., April 8.-WO-
mems hats have been growing larger
and larger every year. They Lave
also been growing lighter and lighter
in weight So that now a woman s
hat weighs less and takes up more
room than it did years ago. A freight
or an express car will hold only a
tenth of the hats it once did and the
carriers raised the rates to make up
the difference.
That is the answer of the railroads
and express companies to the COM
plant of the Millinery Jobbers Asso-
citation which was heard before the
Interstate Commerce Commission to-
day The millineries say the rate is
too high and the carriers say the eyo-
luton of the headgear simply male
them put on the increase.

SEEKING FUNDS FOR
WESLEYAN COLLEGE
DR.. AinSNOrth Spent Yes.
terddy in AmeriCuS.

Rev. DR.. Ainsworth, president OF
Wesleyan Female College, at Macon
spent yesterday in Americus, in com
pany with Rev. A. NJ. Morgan, pastor
of the Methodist church at Cordele
The previous night DR.. Ainsworth had
assisted at a mission meeting at the
Americus Methodist church.
Yesterday DR.. Ainsworth saw a num-
Der of Americus people with reference
to the endowment and improvement
fund that is now being raised for
Wesleyan College. 1t is proposed tc
raise 100000, of which $4,000 will be
put into new building, the remainder
constituting a permanent endowment
fund for the institution.
Il have been very highly gratfffed
at the results of the canvass up to this
time" said DR.. Ainsworth yesterday
$50 far we have pledged ,000 The
largest individual contribution is
$1,000, and they run all the way down
to SO. This is one feature of the
work that is especially satisfactory
1t is much better for an educational
institution to secure money through
a popular subscription than through
a few individuals, as it attracts the
attention of the people more to the
institution, awakens and retains their
interest in it, and contributes to its
healthful development thereafter
Those who are contributing to Wes-
leyan will always feel a personal in
terest in it hereafter, and their good
wishes and continued regard for it
are assured"
DR.. Ainsworth stated that contribu-
tions had been received from Ameri-
Gus aggregating about $780, He con-
tidently expected to more than double
this. Americus has always shown a
decided interest in Wesleyan, a mum
ber of its daughters have attended the
college, and there is not apt to be any
tagging of the esteem In which the
institution is held here, not only by
the Methodists, but by the people
generally.

STEAMSHIP IN A BLAZE
A'PANIC Is RESULT.
Grew Fights a Crazy Mob
at Boats.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)


New York, April 8.-A terrible ex-
plosion occurred early this morning
on the British steamer Cairnrona off
Dungeness which wrecked the WON
ems quarters, killing one child and
lnJuring a number of women and chill
dren The steamer caught fire and
panic ensued in which men fought
for the possession of the boats and
hard to be beaten back by the crew
to allow the women to be taken off
first.
A large number of the passengers
were landed this afternoon, many OF
them in an exhausted condition.
In all twenty were seriously injured
and not less than fifty were slightly
injured by the explosion and in the
panic that followed it.
The Cairnrona sailed yesterday from
London for Portland, Me. She car
ried 900 passengers, for the most part
emigrants, and a general cargo. By
great good luck the steamers Upland
and Kanawha were close at hand
when the Cairnona caught fire They
stood by and took off several hundred
passengers and landed them here.
Several of the first-class passengers
and American cattlemen gave thrilling
details of the accident.
A number of women with children in
their arms were sitting on a hatch,
when suddenly a violent explosion
hurled them to all parts of the deck
Some of them were shockingly in
jured and one child was killed. The
hatch was blown to fragments

Farmers Here Are Alarmed Over the
Situation.

Sum,er's farmers, and orchard
owners as well, are worried over the
prevailing drought, a condition most
unusual at this season. 1t has not
rained here in several weeks, or since
early in March, and the tender young
crops are suffering greatly. Danger
to the oat crop confronts the farmer,
as it is at this period that the young
plants take on their growth. Young
corn and cotton are suffering for rain,
as are gardens and truck farms. All
over this section of Georgia rain is
needed.
