SALE OFEBONDS SHOWS
CITY'S SPLENDID CREDIT
Council Congratulated on the
Excellent Sale

After consideration of numerous
bids by competing firms, City Council
last night awarded the entire issue OF
water, sewerage and paving bonds 10
Hambleton and Company, brokers, OF
Baltimore, the $4,000 four-and-a-hall
per cent. sewerage and water bonds
bringing par, while the $4,000 four
per cent. paving bonds brought frac-
tion above 80.
By the unanimous opinion of all
present, the sale of the total issue Of
bonds at these figures was declared
most favorable, in view of the present
state of the bond market, and of the
fact that in short time 100000 =,
Georgia municipal and county bonds
will be placed on the market.
When the result of the bids wa2
known, Messrs. William c. Wardlaw,
of j. H. Hilsman and Company, of
H Lee Harvey, of the Georgia
Mort gage. and Trust Company, OF Al
lanta, and F. w Moore, of John w.
Dickey and Company, of Augusta, vol
addressed the members of the
City Council and told them that they
considered the sale of the bonds 1T
that figure as a most favorable trans
action for AmeMcus. These statements,
coming as they did from competing
firms that failed to buy the issue, is
the highest recommendation that could
be given to the action of the Council
in selling the bonds at this price.
1t was also brought out by these
gentlemen and others that cities much
larger than Americus have been SELL
ing their bonds at figures no better
than those paid for the Americus is
sue, showing the splendid credit of the
City Of Americas, as the result of her
excellent financial condition.

BAPTISTS ARE GATHERING
IN FORCE At JACKSONVILLE
Dr.. Lansing Burrows at His
Duties as Secretary

Jacksonville, Fla, May 16.-The del
egates to the Southern Baptist con-
uent.on began arriving today. Dr..
Lansing Burrows, of Americus, Ga,
and DR.. Oliver of Virginia, the two
veteran secretaries of the body, were
the first to come They have served
together since 1882 and have not
missed a single session of the conven-
ton since then.
A cloud seems to be on the hearts
Of those who are coming in an ac-
count of the debt of more than $50. 9.0O0,-
eco on the Foreign Mission Board. One
Of two things will have to be done, the
debt must be wiped out, or some of
the missionaries will have to be re-
called. The convention will hardly
consent to call a halt in this work
1t is the opinion Of those who have
studied the questions nat the debt is
largely due to the fact that too much
was expected OF the Laymen5 Mission
airy Movement The leaders in tha
work expected a large number of lay
men to be organized. This would have
brought in more money.
A much smaller number Of new men
than was expected came in, and hence
there was a shortage of money re
Iceived.
An effort will be made 10y the North
ern Baptist convention to establish a
line between the two bodas beyond
which neither can go. Last year 10,-
600 Baptists from the state of Illinois
in the territory of the Northern con
vention, applied for membership in
the Southern body and were received.
A number Of churches in New Mex
leo, which has been in the terr.to-s
of the Northern convention, have ap-
Iplied for membership in the Southern
convention and have been received. The
! Northern Baptists desire to have q
line marked out between the two bo-
dies. The sentiment of the Southern
Baptists is that each church is an IN
dependent body and no o'her body has
right to say where it must do is
work.
The secretaries report that the pres
ent convention is entitled to $3.50 dele
gates. Georgia leads all the ohey
states of the South. Having contribu-
ted the most money, she is entitled tc
the largest number of delegates, 4S9
1t is seldom that more than half the
delegates who are entitled to seat:
attend the meetings of the body.

Former Ambassador of That Country
Gives His Views.

New Orleans, Nov. 1.-THE pro-
posed loan through the Morgan inter

mean ruin for that country" is a
statement made last night by Juan E..
Paredes, former special ambassador
Of the Honduran government 20
Washington, regarding the $10,00O,000
Morgan loan.
After givinng history OF the finan-
cial difficulties of Honduras, covering
scores Of years, Senior Paredes said
he resigned because Of what he be-
lieved would be an injustice to his
countryside loan as. indors ID by Sec
retary Knox. He said it was not a
loan, but speculation which would
mean that Honduras would become a
protectorate of the United States.

REPUBLIC FLA
WAVES AT Annoy
RADICAL ELEMENT is IN AsCEN
DANCY, AND TAO TAI CHANG
FLEES FROM CITY.

Annoy, Nov 1.-THE republican tri-
color waves over the city today. The
shops remain open, and there is
general feeling of relief.
Early in the afternoon crowds as
sembled for a conference with the
rebel leaders. At 2.30 O'Clock. the
gunboat Quenkai, flying the dragon
flag, cast off her lines and steamed
out from the city. The republican en-
blem has been raised over the walled
city. In other quarters of the city the
rebel colors were displayed. The flags
also appeared over many ships.
The radical element has gained the
ascendency here, and Tao Tai Shang
was compelled to fee to Hong Kong
during the night The city is in great
confusion. 1t was reported today that
Foo Chow had poisoned the citys wa
ter supply. The report, however,
proved without foundation.
Excitement that preceded the change
of government was evident today
The people are in a nervous state.
+ or several days there has been no
local government and the mainten-
ance of Aublie order devolyed upon
volunteer guards recruited from the
best families.
On Sunday reports show that the
conservative elements made a futile
attempt to compromise with the radi
cal faction.
Last night it was plain that the
radicals We're in control and, alarmed
at the possibility Of mob rule, Tao
Tai Chang fed to Hong Kong.
Throughout the night a feeling Of
uneasiness prevailed and this was in
creased this morning my a rumor that
the wells of the city had been po
oned by Manchus from Foo Chow.
Later today quiet prevailed.
The arrival of the American war
ship Saratoga, the monitor Monroe,
and the gpnboat Quiren and the Brit
ish torpedo boat destroyers Janus and
Virago this morning helped to restore
confidence.
