MRS. NISBET
PASSED AWAY
At Her HOME
in MACON SATURDAY MORNING
She Was a Woman of Many
Christian Virtues

The many friends of Mr.. E. A.
Nisbet will learn with much regret
of the death of his mother, Mrs. James
T. Nisbet, at her residence in Macon
yesterday morning. Mrs Nisbet's re-
cent illness resulted from a severe
fall sustained two weeks ago, as, since
that time her condition grew steadily
worse to the end.
The deceased was the widow of the
late Judge James T. Nisbet, one Of
Georgias ablest jurists, and was sew
enty-four years old. She is survived
by four sons, Messrs. J. w. Nisbet of
Macon; E. A. Nisbet, of Americus; J.
T. Nisbet, of San Francisco; c. r..
Nisbet, of Kansas City, and two daugh-
ters, Mrs. R. c. King and Mrs. w. w.
Hardwick, both residing in Macon.
Mrs. Nisbet was onesof natures no
blewomen, beloved among all for her
gentleness, refinement and rare Christ
ian virtues. For more than fifty years
she was consistent member of the
Presbyterian church, and the funeral
service. this afternoon will be con-
Quoted from the First Presbyterian
church in Macon.

ETIDSONS BOOKS ARE DECLARED To
Be AS STRAIGHT AS A SH|NCLE"
m Accountant Finds No Fault in Commissioner Hudson Will Be ExneFat
ed By Investigating Committee Of Any WFOngDOing His Department

er Hudson told the committee that the
fees should be cut one-half, especial
ly in the large cities, so that the
state, instead of the inspectors, will
get two-thirds of the sum collected.
This change is likely.
AS to fertilizer inspections, it was
shown by testimony that this work
cost $4,000 in 1910 and $4,000 ~
1911, the increase being due to the
use of more fertilizer and consequent
ly more inspections last year. 1t was
shown that inspections in Georgia are
cheaper than in any other Southern
state where such inspections are
made. The cost of inspections, in
1911, it was shown, was much less il
proportion to the work done than in
1905 the year before Mr.. Hudson took
the Office. For example. 5000 SAM
pies of fertilizer were taken and l,
500 special analyses made at a cost
of $4,000 in 1905, while $4,000 samples
were taken and 5000 special analyses
made at a cost of $4,000 in 1911
Thus at less than twice the cost more
than three times the amount of work
has been accomplished
Committeeman E. S. Ault pointed
out that in 1910 of $4,000 paid for
work, no returns were in
evidence from about $4,000, inspectors
at various points over the state not
being credited with sending in any
samples. Mr. Hudson admitted that
occasionally he had found an inspec
tor laying down." but these men
were replaced by others as soon as
his was known. But some of those
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-01-28

who failed to send in samples, he ex-
planned, were not called on by farm
ers in their territory to take samples
or the anticipated movement of fertii-
izer to that or this territory failed to
materialize. In these cases, however,
inspectors were available, subject to
call of the farmers. In one instance,
Mr.. Hudson told the committee, he
gave his personal check for $166, two
months salary, to an inspector he
found had neglected his duty, rather
than have the state lose on that ac-
count.
Committeeman Ault made an effort
to show that Mr.. Hudson had played
politics in making appointments, Civ
ing the Third congressional district,
his home, more inspectors than any
other Mr.. Hudson answered this by
showing that the Third district con-
sumed more fertilizer than any other
and that the Second and Third more
than any other four districts.
Senator W. j. Harris, of the COM
mittee, approved of factory instead Of
field inspection, but several other COM
mitteemen and Mr.. Hudson said such
a system would lay the state en-
ployees open to graft.
Committeeman Emmett Cabanis5,
former president of the Georgia Far
mers' Union, suggested that the best
method of notifying farmers of fertil-
izers falling below standard would be
by publishing the name of delinquent
factories and firms, rather than by
the present system of issuing bulletins
on the results of analyses.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 27.-Charles w.
Morse, the New York banker whose
prison sentence was recently COM
muted by President Taft, left the
army hospital at Fort Mcpherson this
morning. He was brought to down
town hotel, where he will stay until
he is able to be moved elsewhere. 1t
is probable that he will be taken to
some Florida resort.
Morse was accompanied by his wife
and sister, Miss Jennie Morse. He
was conveyed from the military res
ervatiOn in an ambulance. His phySi-
clans thought the removal from the
hospital where he spent so long time
after his transfer from the fedearl
penitentiary would aid his improve
ment.
For the first time in more than two
years the noted prisoned is from

The most of that time he spent in the

he was taken to the military hospital,

Americus will eventually be made
a re-icing point for the trainloads Of
fruits and vegetables shipped from
South Georgia anl Florida to the
Northern markets, and ample facili-
ties to this end will be made here. The
Atlantic Ice and Coal Corporation, t
is stated here, has the contract with
the Armour Co. for icing its cars, anl
the company will put in a large stor
age plant here in connection with the
ice factory recently purchased.
The storage warehouse will have J
holding capacity of four thousand tons
of ice, and all shipments of perisha-
bic freight will be re-iced in Ameri-
Gus, if required. In addition to the
ice storage plant, the company will
also build a great and modern dry
cold storage warehouse, where fresh
meats and vegetables in carload lots
if desired, may be stored and kept in
definitely
This latter enterprise will be of ad-
vantage to farmers here as WELL who
may thus pack away on storage their
entire meat supply, if desired. Often
it is the case that, after killing hogs,
the weather turns warm unexpectedly
and quantities of meat are lost, but
with cold storage facilities at hand.
the farmers will be amply protected.
The cold storage warehouse and re-
icing plant will be located at point
accessible TO both the Central and
Seaboard railways here, it is said and
will doubtless be completed before the
shipping season is far advanced

Atlanta, January Ex-Governor
Brown announced today that he pro-
poses to require all convicts applying
for executive clemency to post upon
the bulletin board of the county in
which they were convicted, thirty days
notice of their purpose to apply for
pardon, parole or whatever the case
may be.
1t is sometimes the case that par
dons are granted which would not have
been allowed had all the facts in the
case been known, and Governor
Brown thinks the only way to bring
ont all the facts is to have proper
notice given so that any one who
wishes to do so may present object
ions. He will insist upon this require
ment in every case in future and will
arrange also so that less time will
be devoted to pardon matters.
He says too much of the time of the
executive office is taken away from
other important business by applica.
tions for clemency. He will ask tho
prison commission to give two days
each month to such applications, an
he will devote to them two days inn
mediately following. This will be al
the time the executive Office will Civ
to pardon matters each month.

PAST YEAR WAS ONE OF BROAD
GROWTH WITH LOCAL CHURCHES
Largely Increased Membership and Excellent Standing Financially AeS the Wide In
uenCG Which They Have Welded For Good in the Community

Inquiry into the condition of the
churches of the city shows that mark
ed growth has characterized all of the
churches of each denomination repre-
sented in the city during the past year
The percentage of growth of all
The churches taken together, if it.
could be readily obtained, would show
! that the increase in church member
ship here has indeed been very large
in comparison with the total popula-
ton. This is but an indication of the
powerful influence which the churches
of the city WELD in its life and devel-
i opment
1t doubtful if in any city in Geor-
gia the size of Americas the influence
of the churches has been so strongly
felt in bringing about standard of
civic righteousness which is, indeed,
one of the crowning glories of tho
city. The influence of the churches in
this work cannot be over-estimated,

churches and allied organizations has
been by far the most potent factor Ia
this worthy development.
In order to give brief glance at
the growth of the religious life of the
city during the past year, The Times
Recorder has compiled brief summa-
ry of the work accomplished by each
church, which is as follows:
First Methodist Church.
With its membership of more than
900 members, the First Methodist
church easily leads all the churches
of the city in numerical strength. 1t
has allied with it in it's Sunday school
work, three schools, the total member
ship of which is approximately $50
students.
The present pastor, Rev. o, B. Ches-
ter, has been remarkably successful in
his work. more than 252 members ha =
ing affiliated during the two years af
his pastorate. During this same pc
riod there has been expended for fo--
eign and home missions $5,534; for va
rtous other causes, including all cur
rent expenses of the church $15,576,
making total of $21 ,050, raised for
these purposes during the last two
years.
This magnificent record has been
made when there was no special en-
terprise in view and reflects the nor
NAL life of the church, manifesting
It's Claim t. rank as one of the great
