Elijah sounds mythical. il has Its
parallels. The raven is u wise bird.
A story is told of a young man sick in
prison. to whom a raven brought food.
Bishop Stanley's History of Birds tells
of another incident thus: Coming
into the inn yard my chaise ran over
and bruised the leg of fayorite
Newfoundland dog, and while we were
examining the injury, Ralph. the
raven, looked on also. That night the
dog was tied up under the manager
with my horse and the raven not only
visited him. but brought him bones
and attended him with particular
marks of kindness"
Nor is ii a wonderful ease,
The wonder is to be renewed:
And many can say. to his praise.
He sends then. by ravens their food.
Thus worldlings. though ravens inoees'
Though greedy ana selfish their mind.
If God has a servant to feed,
Against their own wills can be kind
The Widow Of Zarephath.
I Divine providence guided Elijah to
the home of poor widow. to whom
the drouth and continued scarcity had
proved a great trial. She had little
coarse flour left. which alone stood
between herself and her son and
starvation, so far as she could discern.
The Prophet. meeting her. asked for a
drink of water and small cake of
bread. This was severe test to the
woman's faith and generosity. She
explained the situation, indicating ner
desire to accede to the Prophets wish
cs. yet loath to part with her all
Elijah replied. Fear not. Bake Tor

SENATE ORGANIZED and
READY FOR BUSINESS
List of Committees of Both
Parties Adopted

Washington, April 2S.-The senate
formally organized for business to-
Cay by adopting the list of appoint
ments to committees drawn up by the
majority of both parties. The eX-
pected fight against the adoption OF
the lists threatened by the progress
sive republicans did not develop.
Senator LaFollette contented himself
by reading a formal protest against
the selections made by the regular
republicans.
The LaFollette statement, which
was prepared at a conference of the
thirteen insurgents, Senator Kenyon
the new senator from DIVA, having
joined the original twelve, set forth
al some length the growth of the So
called progressive movement in the
republican party 1t asserted that
the progressive republicans entertain
marked and well-defined wiffeTenc9s

tractive club house as could be de.
sired, while all the ground necessary
for enlarged golf links seems to be
available.
I'VE will take pleasure in inserting
photographs and short reading no.
tices of the hotel and golf links in
our forthcoming tourists publication
if the golf links are made available
The hotel facilities alone are not suf-
ficient, as tourists demand golf links
for recreation. AS it is often difficult
in the smaller cities for golf enthus-
lasts to have a competent instructor,
we are willing to endeavor to have
some one to come to Americus from
for perhaps weeks stay in
order to instruct those members Of
the club who wish to learn golf"
The matter of fulfilling the condi-
tions named by the railroad company
so that Americus may be given a def
mite place on the tourists map has
been taken under consideration by the
Board of Trade, which hopes to secure
such cooperation from those concern
ed as will insure the success of the
Americus and Sumter
county have as excellent roads as any
tourists can demand 1t is only neces-
sary that the other condition be met
in order to gain the publicity offered
by the Central of Georgia.
The necessity of advertising Ameri-
Gus is felt all the more in the light of
recent developments as regards the
highway question 1T is believed that
Americus by gaining this publicity may
obtain not only the tourists who come
by the new highway, but also those
who travel by the National Highway

Americus will yet become a center

of this end.
While Assistant General Ticket
Agent F. G. Robinson and District
Passenger Agent John w Blount, of
the Central of Georgia, were in the
city yesterday, they were taken out to
see the Country Club and the goll

land Clarence ]. White, president and

1t is the purpose of Mr.. Robinson,
if the Country Club will enlarge the
golf links and place them in first
class condition, to insert photographs
of the links and the Windsor hotel il

by the railway. Good hotel facilities
and golf links are absolute necessities

said Mr.. Robinson in speaking of the
Plan to furnish publicity to Americas

There is no better hotel in the state
than the one in Americus, which is
still being improved.

Issues Statement in Which
He Asserts His Innocence

Los Angeles, April 2S.-John }.
Mcnamara, secre' ary and treasurer
Of the International Bridge and
Structural Ironworkers' Association
gave his first authorized statement as
to his arrest to the Associated Press
today. The statement follows:
ITO the Brotherhood of Organized
Labor in California and the United
States:
In this second attempt to crush
and discredit the cause we represent,
I realize fully the desperation of the
enemies of labor arrayed against us,
but I am of good heart, for it will
fail.
THAT l am innocent of any infract-
ton of the law, in word or act, needs
no emphasis from me, for the truth
is mighty, and will prevail right
speedily; and for it I shall contented-
ly wait.
81 send to all brothers and friends
of union labor, the world over, my
earnest and affectfonate greetings
with the assurance that there is no
wllany or conspiracy possible o.
which we are afraid,
"I am also confident that it is mo-
asking too much of the public to sus
pend judgment in these matters unit
opportunity for a full and fair de
fense has been afforded

GRAND JURY INDICTED
AUGUSTA SALOONISTS
Result Of Agitation Led By
Ministers

August, Ga, April 2S.-As a re-
suit of Investigations by the grand
jury which is now in session, whole
sale raids were made on the saloons
in the central part of the city yester-
day afternoon and night The pro-
prietors of eighteen saloons, which
by the way, are each paying the city
$1,000 per year as a license, were
served with warrants and made to
give bond for their subsequent ap-
pearance in court The saloons were
not 1aided to the extent of seizing
activity by the grand jury came as
result of the agitation created by
local ministers and the Law ond Or
der League, who have demanded the
enforcement of the prohibition law
The Law and Order League had
watchers in front Of twenty or more
saloons, taking down the name of
every person seen to enter those
places. Those persons were later
summoned by the grand jury and
upon their evidence the warrants
against the saloon poprietors were
issued. 1t is stated that at least ten
aff.davits against each saloon were
secured by the grand jury The
cases will be prosecuted vigorously
when they come to trial. If heard
in the City court Solicitor Black will
represent the state, and if in the Su-
perior court the states interests will
be looked after by Solicitor Reynolds.
1t is the general belief that much
good Will come of this spasm Of re-
form.
