the operators at the exchange. The
demand was headed by Sheriff Smith.
who, II is believed, under a misappre-
hension. was wrought up to a pitch
Of excitement that made reasoning ana
argument for the time being of little
effect.
A peremptory demand was made
upon the company to remove the man.
ager for alleged conduct instanter.
which was done Tuesday night and he
left town shortly thereafter.
Cooler and calmer heads believe
that the demand was hasty, that the
evidence submitted showed the mana
ger was not guilty of any improper
conduct and had those who were be-
hind the demand investigated fully ano
calmly the conduct imputed to the
manager, there would have been no.h-
ing in the affair to warrant such
harsh treatment.
Public sentiment here is in favor OF

who were demanding his removal auo
departure from the city have given the
manager fair and unbiased hearing
before any committee of we'll poiseo

STEAMER HITS BRIG;
ALL HANDS ARE SAVED
British Steamer LimpS Into
Savannah and Tells of Col
IiSiOn at Sea

SAVANNAH. Ga. Sept. 14.-With
seven men. captain and crew of the
British brig Scepter on board, the Brit
ish steamer Roselands, Captain Dis
ney, made this port Friday night with
a story of collision at sea and the loss
of the brig. The sling ship under
command of Captain Burke was bound
from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, for
Ponce, Porto Rica. with fish and lum-
Der.
at $3.50 o'clock Monday morning. Sept
9. in fine weather and with the brig
moving along at a good pace, the bow
of the steamer Roselands suddenly APP
peared out of the darkness. crashed in
to the briggs side and practically cut
her in two.
That no lives were lost is said to be
due to the fact that the vessels chung
together a short time after the collision
and members of the briggs crew, some
of them just aroused from sleep, scram-
bled aboard the steamer.
The brig was total wreck. and the
steamer seeing that she must go down
within a short time steamed away on
her course. The Roselands was bound
from Huleva, whence she sailed Aug. 26,
for Savannah.

who are coming to the fair this year
The officials of the State fair have
been very alert this year in securing the
best that there was in the land for the
will come to the fair. They have Sc
cured the wonderful Eleventh United
States cavalry, known all over the world
for their grand riding feats. They will
hike il to Macon from Fort Ogiethorpe.
q distance of 230 miles, and will stop
en- route for one day at Atlanta both
on the coming and going home trip.
Arrangements have been made to en-
camp them in the large hippodrome at
the state fair grounds, containing some
ten acres. Here they will go into activs
camp life for ten days. The people can
see how they cook their meals. keep
their stock and live when on duty.
Morock and Saint Yves have been Sc
cured to do the flying machine stunt this
year. This time will be shown two
machines. one a biplane and the other a
monoplane. This will be an innovation
along this line, for they will race and
do many spectacular features in mid
air that have never been seen here be-
fore. They will carry mail, throw
bombs as If in war, make blood-curdling
dips and other startling acts.
Nat Reiss has been secured with his
forty big shows and riding devices for

All this does not imply that one is
opposed to education, or would. have
less of it in the country; but it sim
ply means that education is Utterly
inadequate for the regeneration of
man or a nation. Universal educa-
ton may be the inspiration of univer-
sal disorder, If it be not accompanied
by moral and religious influences that
renew the heart and purge the soul
Of selfishness and sin.
In like manner, we may clean up
streets, improve social conditions, and
do all manner of reform work, and
yet have the clean streets crowded
with unclean people amid social con-
ditions higher than their personal
characters. In which case they soon
befoul the streets again, degrade their
conditions to the level of their char
acters, and deform all the reforms
upon which we have bestowed so
much care and zeal. Men make their
circumstances much more truly than
do their circumstances make men.
Hogs are not made hogs by wallow-

ment does not assure character by
any means. Notwithstanding all the
pretentious talk of our materialistic
philosophy. The lives of the men
who so stoutly advocate this false
doctrine disprove the thesis which
they seek to sustain; they are not
what might have been expected from
their environment, If their system of
philosophy were sound.
Perhaps this false doctrine, which
has obtained such wide currency in
our day, has had much to do with
causing some churches and many
christians to shift the emphasis of
their religious efforts from inward
and spiritual character to outward
and material conditions; they have
insensibly accepted the materialistic
view of what makes character. and,
hence, they have been working on
environment far more than upon the
spiritual needs of the inner man.
Their efforts, proceeding on a false
theory, will end inevitably in disap-
pointment. Indeed, such efforts are
already showing the most disappoint-
ing results. The religious results of

MR.. OSCAR STRAUSS, or NEW YORK
When I was in Chicago was given a
seat on the rostrum not far from where
the various speakers stood, during the
national progressive convention.
One day when the enthusiasm and
excitement we're at the highest, I found
an elderly gentleman standing near me
watching the proceedings with great
earnestness. I knew him by his picture
1 remembered the pictures Of Messrs
Isidor and Oscar Strauss and 1 also re-
membered they were raised in Georgia,
near Talbotton, and / did not forget
that Mr.. Isidor Strauss with his devoted
wife went down in the wreck OF the IT.
tanic last April.
Turning towards Mr.. Oscar Strauss, I
introduced myself as Georgian and told
him of the statewide sympathy which
prevailed after the news of the Titanic
reached us of the universal sympathy
they felt
a shade Of grief and sadness went over
his face as he cordially thanked me for
my interest. We stood together for sew
SERIAL minutes because everybody had
arisen to their feet. the tide of enthu
siasm had swelled so high. As we looked
over that immense audience OF 1900 peo-
pie he said to me: How does this scene
impress you?"
I replied: 1T seems to be moving itself
"a ground swell, that never witnessed
before"
Indeed. my dear madam" he rejoined.
II never saw its equal. there is an in
spiration that is marvellous" And so it
was.
A few days ago Mr.. Strauss was nomi-
mated for governor OF New York state
without a particle OF self-seelxing on his
part. He did not expect to be a candi-
date hut by one of those sudden strong
tides of enthusiasm his name caught the
crowd and he was actually named in
spite OF himself. AS read his speech
in that nominating convention in New
York my mind went back to the day
In Chicago less than a month before.
where he said to me: That the move
ment was singular. it seemed to move
itself as a marvellous Inspiration"
