ASK relief
FROM TAR ON
The STREETS
A MENACE TO White SHOES
And a Nuisance to Many
Other Things

Many are the residents of the city
who are calling for relief from the
nuisance of tar on the new wooden
block pavements, which are, indeed,
we'll stuck up" when the midday heat
of these May days draws out the sur
plus creosote tar and causes the pave
ments to look like one expanse of
tarry sickness.
During the last few days, when the
heat has been pronounced here, the
nuisance of the tar has become more
noticeable than for some time. A new
supply of sand on the streets will help
to mitigate the nuisance more easily,
perhaps, than most anything else can
do. Sand has been placed on most
of the pavement once or twice before,
but it is still needed in some in
stances.
Mayor Mathis, who has been out of
the city for some time, took notice of
the tar on the streets yesterday and
proceeded to give orders for the plac-
ing of sand to stop the nuisance. 1t
is very likely that sand will be placed
on the r1gements today unless
weather report for additional showers
comes true and makes the use of sand
for this purpose unnecessary.

HUDSON WAS
A VISITOR
At REUNION
ON BRIEF VISIT here NOW
Reports Pleasing Progress In
Campaign

Hon. T. G. Hudson, who has been
mingling with the veterans and other
friends in Macon this week, returned
to Americus yesterday, and during the
afternoon greeted other friends at the
Hudson campaign headquarters, where
he rendered a pleasing report regard
ing the progress of his gubernatorial
campaign.
Mr.. Hudson required no introduc-
ton to the veterans whom he met, re-
presenting every portion of Georgia,
for he had been in their home coun-
ties and knew them already. Down
among the tents in Central City park
he received a hearty greeting from
them, as elsewhere in the reunion
city, and probably no other visitor
there grasped as many hands cordial
ly as did Tom Hudson, whom every
body knows.
Mr.. Hudson says he is highly pleas
ed with the progress of the campaign
and his prospect of winning the nomi-
nation in the August primary. He
will spend day or two resting at his
home here.

CARDINAL OPPOSED TO TEST
Doesn't Believe Immigrants Should BE
Barred Because of Illiteracy

Baltimore, May 10.-A letter from
Cardinal Gibbons expressing opposi-
ton to any educational test as applied
to immigrants desiring to enter the
United States was read at mass
meeting here to protest against the
passage of immigration bills in con-
gress providing for literacy test
Such a law, if passed" the cardin-
al said, would, in my opinion, work
great harm, for illiteracy is by no
means always ignorance. If the i'm
migrant is industrious and thrifty he
will mas a useful citizen, whether he
be literate or illiterate, The educated
schemer is in more way than one
more dangerous than the honest work,
man, even though he be illiterate."

Afford PAID
PENALTY OF
DARK Crime
HE Died IN Two MINUTES
For Murder of His Wife and
Mother -in-LaW

Macon, May 10.-Edward B. Afford
has paid the penalty of the law for
the murder of his wife and mother-in-
law. He died on the gallows in the
Bibb county Jail at two minutes to one
o'clock today In less than ten min
utes after the death trap was sprung
Afford was officially pronounced dead.
His neck was broken instantly by the
fall of six feet four inches.
1t was necessary for two deputies
to support Afford to the gallows.
though he walked steadily with their
aid He appeared to be in daze, but
fully conscious withal of his position.
After being placed on the trap. and
while ropes were being bound on his
emaciated legs, he oDeyed the inv
tation of Rev. T. D. Madden to keep
his eyes on the crucifix and until the
black cap was adjusted over his pale
features, he looked steadfastly at the
cross.
When all was ready, the sheriff
asked; "Is there anything you wish to
say, Mr.. Alford?"
After minute he replied: Good
by, everybody"
In another second he had plung-
ed to his doom. The sheriff's Good
by may the Lord have mercy on your
SOUL" were the last words heard by
the condemned man.
The hanging was witnessed by the
ten pickpockets arrested this week
by the Pinkerton detectives, as the
gallows is only foot from the inte-
rior window of their cell.
Afford was scheduled to hang at
IL o'clock, but the sheriff granted
postponement until noon at the re-
quest of Attorney John r. Cooper, who
was in Atlanta, pleading with the
governor for another respite. At A
quarter to noon the sheriff was asked
to defer the execution until 1890
o'clock, and he again consented. Just
before that time Affords sister and
two brothers called at the Jail, and
for half an hour they were in the cell
with him, saying last farewell. They
left just before the hanging, over
come with emotion.
The body of Afford will be taken
to Worthen, Ca, this afternoon for
funeral and interment.
