John Willis, an aged white man. re-

saulted Wednesday night, and yester-
day showed several severe contusions
on his head, produced by some heavy
instrument, said to have been a piece
of scantling, and alleged to have 0ecn
used by negro named George Grimes,
who was arrested at once by Deputies
Bowman and Virgins and hurried to
McDavid, about ten miles south of
Century, where he was guarded Ut Gil
Sheriff Ellis could be communicated
with in Pensacola.
The deputies telephoned the sheriff
as soon as they could get connections,
informing Mr.. Ellis that the negro
was in some danger from certain peo-
pie in and around Century, and the
quicker Grimes could be hustled to the
county jail here the better for all con-
cerned.
Sheriff Ellis, in his car, accompanied
by two deputies, made d run for The
scene, and found the negro in the
custody of the two deputies above
named. He was taken in charge and
a trip back to the city was made, the
party arriving here shortly before :

the city, that the sheriff's office holds
a warrant for him for some offense,
from the sheriff of Bay county, in this
state.
When the first information reached
the city yesterday by telephone, it
was stated that the negro's actual life
was in danger because of the wrought

committed.
Some weeks ago a negro named
John Underwood attacked a young
man. in Century at night, and be-
labored the victim with a cudgel,
causing the young man much trouble,

brought to the city and several OPP

life. Underwood, the black assailant,
was sent up for assault and while

CHRISTIANS
NOT MADE
BY RULES
Dr.. Ridley Disapproves of Attempt
by Any Congregation to Regu-
late Members Conduct.

DR.. Caleb A. Ridley, of the Central
Baptist Church, Thursday expressed
his severe disapproyal of the attempt
on the part of any church to regulate
by hard and fast rule the private
conduct of its members
His comment was aroused by the
proposed action of the First Baptist
Church, which is considering drastic
action on the locker club question as
it affects the church membership
Resolutions submitted to the church
conference by the pastor, the Rev. c.
W. Daniel, provide that the members
shall use every effort to make the So
cia clubs to which they may belong
conform strictly to the law, and that,
in the event of failure. they withdraw
from the clubs

right to do as it pleases, and I have
no word to say regarding its resolu-

racy and the majority rules. 1t is

cation has any right to interfere with

have no desire to express myself re-
garding its action in passing the res
olutons you refer to.
Now, as to my own personal atti-
tude, and also that OF my church,
think am free to speak. Personally
/ do not believe that resolutions. how
ever good or important, will rightly
regulate moral conduct. The conduct
of Christian men and women should
be an outflow rather than mechani-
cal move under pressure. Christs
appeal was always to the man within
US. If the Gospel will not regulate
the conduct OF men without thumb
screws, then the conduct when regu-
lated is anything but Christian. My
candid conviction is that the kingdom
interests are not so well served by
penalizing as by preaching, l shall
more fully express myself on the sub
ject next Sunday night in my own
pulpit"
Or. Daniel Protests Delay.
The resolutions presented at the
First Baptist Church are yet to be
acted upon. The meeting Of the con-

poorly attended because OF the bad

$4,000 MEN
ON BORDER
Seventeenth Regiment Is Ordered
From Atlanta To Be Ready
to Strike.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Oficial
reports to the War Department to-
day showed that the orders to rush
two more regiments of American
troops to the Mexican border are be-
ing rapidly complied with with the
arrival Of the Ninth Regiment from
Fort Thomas, KY, and Fort Logan H.
Roots, Ark, and the Seventeenth
Regiment from Atlanta in Texas, the
United States will have nearly $4,000
troops within striking distance Of
Mexico. This is 5000 more than Gen
eral Shafter had in his Santiago
campaign in Cuba.
The administrations explanation
that these additional troops are be-
ing sent TO the Mexican border be-
cause of requests made by members
of the Texas Congressional delegation
that the international line be more
efficiently patrolled was regarded to-
day as a correct statement of fact.
but the belief current here for several
days that the Mexican situation was
approaching crisis was also
strengthened by the orders for the
movement of'troops.
Machine Guns for Embassy.
Recent dispatches of a confidential
nature have stated that machine guns
are being sent to Mexico City for the
protection of the American legation
there and the orders to add to the
military forces on the border, there
fore, caused no surprise
Democratic members Of Congress
made no secret day of their belief
that the dispatch of more troops to
the border indicates that the Govern
ment is preparing for an emergency.
Hopes that General Carranza and the
Constitutionalist forces could restore
peace in Mexico have been gradually
fading for a month.
Even the news that General Villa
had actually begun his long promised
campaign against Torreon failed to
restore confidence in the Constitu-
tionalst army, and Carranza's atti-
tude in the Benton case has destroyed
in great measure faith that this Gov
