thousand people breathless. From the
roof of the towering structure to the
second story the foolhardy man climb
ed down without the aid of ropes or
any safeguard Pedestrians in the vi
cinity were first attracted when they
noticed the steeplejack swing himself
over the roof. The building is so high
that he then appeared more liket fly
instead of a human.
People stood still and in awe as they
watched the man lower himself one
after another to small extensions of
stone about four feet apart which dec

his way down the side of the build

after he hung from the roof he jump

Instead of cheering, the crowd emit

went on his way without a word, but

they knew him as John Hassler, and
he had boosted of having done similar
stunts on other lofty buildings.

Enter the Race at Once.

There is no better preparation for
winning prize in The Times-Re-
corder's Grand Subscription Contest
than to be familiar with every rule
governing the Contest.
In order that one may be sure that
one understand all the rules it is
well to read several times the large
three-column ad. that appears in this
issue of The Times-eRcorder, and
which will continue to appear for
some time to come. If every rule is
not perfectly understood, inquiry
should be made of the Contest De-
partment, which is being conducted by
Miss Frances K. Roberts.
1t is far better for each Contest
ant to call in person at The Times
Recorder office to see Miss Roberts,
if such is possible. Otherwise it IS
well to address a letter to her, asking
for full explanation of all doubt
full points. Miss Roberts can be found
at The Times-Recorder office every

Pulled by two huge locomotives of
the battleship type a Central railway
freight train with a length of one and
one-fifth miles arrived in Americus
yesterday, northbound. The train was
made up of 105 cars, many of them
loaded, and such was its length that
it filled three or four sidetracks in
the yards here when cut up to allow
passenger trains to get by. Of many

The weather map showed continued

tons of the cotton belt In the early
trading the old crops were stronger
than the new, which was due partly
10 the strength of the May situation
in New York and partly to the fears
of shorts that the weekly statistical
statement would be bullish. At the

ways.
First of all by accepting an er-
ror. That is a foolish saying, it does
not matter what man believes, so
he is sincere 1t does matter. There
is but one system of Truth, and be-
tween the right and the wrong, truth
and error, there is a straight line OF
demarkation. An error cannot save,
or help. 1t ruins.
/"In the next place, soul may be
lost by wrong emphasis. This is so
common among us today The worldly
vanities become first to one, and after
while these pass away. AS in
Goethe's Faust" a man sells himself
to satan for gold that melts, glory that
vanishes and pleasures that perish.
Again, souls are lost by sheer neg
ligence. Salvation requires positive
action. He who does nothing is lost.

Mr.. CRANBERRY STILL
Preaching TO CROWDS
In Services at FuFIOW Lawn
Church

In his sermon last evening at Fur
low Lawn Baptist church, Rev Robert
Cranberry preached upon the theme,
'Earth's Transaction, taking his
text from Mark, S:36-37: what shall
it profit a man if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul; or what
shall man give in exchange for his
soul?
Mr.. Cranberry, in his discourse said,
in part:
Jesus dealt with eternal questions.
His eve penetrated beyond the posi-
5ilhies of this present world. He was
concerned about two worlds; the world
that now is, and the world that is to
come
at is the soul of man that differ
entiates him from the brute animal
world. The substance or being of all
other creatures is formed from the
kingdom of Nature They are Great
Cd. But the soul is not ceated it IS
derived. and its derivation is divine.
God made man, and breathed into him
the breath of life
"Now, you may call the soul reason,
or will, or affection, or mind, or spirit,
or Just as you please. The soul in
cludes all these. The Scripture often
calls it the heart But let us see that
by soul Jesus meant more than earth
ly existence. He was talking about
the immortal part of man, the real
self, that which makes us what We
are.
"Oh, the value of a soul! Such
power as is latent within you! The
soul can sin, suffer, think and will
And it will never die!
"The teacher draws two pictures in
this Scripture He talks about the
soul and the world. What did He
mean by the world? Why, all that it
stands for; it's material wealth, beau
ty, wisdom and luxury. The world is
attractive and beautiful, but not worth
one soul Nothing in the world Is
so valuable as the soul of child
"a Russian legend tells us of one
who entered a diamond mine in search
of great riches. He filled his pockets
with gems, then threw them away to
make room for larger ones At length
he became thirsty, but there was no
water He sought to find an egress,
but he was hopelessly confused in the
intricate mazes. He heard the flow
of rivers, but it was the flow of riy
ers of gems. He FASTENED forward at
the sound of a waterfall, but it was
cascade of jewels. He was very
rich in precious stones, but dying OF
thirst OF what use was his wealthi
He lost himself and persisted amid
all his treasures.
THE most immeasurably valuable
possession of life is Salvation. 1t is
Gods greatest gift. Salvation is a
Transforming power. You have seen
it in your community. When Jesus
touches of life, He quickens it into
purity and peace. He clothes us in
our right minds, and by His grace we
are made fit subjects for the King
dom of Heaven.

How a Meaning Changes.

"Cheat' is a word that now has a very ugly sound. To cheat a man is to defraud him. Originally the word con- veyed no such meaning. The old word "escheat' referred to the dues that fell to the crown. It came from the French echoir Oatin, excadere). The modern meaning that attaches to the word tells sad tale of the extortion and greed that must have been practiced in col lecting the dues.
