SOUTHERN BAPTISTS
MAKE LONG STRIDES
Has Membership of More Than Two
and a Half Million. Own Prop
erty Valued at $58,319,63S.

ASHEVILLE, N. Enormous

ing Burrows. The membership has
reached the great total of 2,685,552,

wear 20,988 have died. The Baptist
population of the world is placed at
7,141, Alb.
There are 24,451 Baptist churches

1905 Sunday schools, showing a to-
tai enrolment of 1,760,8O2. The
churches own property valued at

SCORES OF PEOPLE
ARE BLOWN TO ATOMS
STREWED WRECKAGE A MILE IN
EVERY DIRECTION. NOTHING
LEFT OF MAN BUT SHOES.

GIBBSTOWN, N. War time
pressure took further toll of human
life when a terrific explosion at the
Repauno plant of the Du Pont Pow
der Works at Gibbstown, lifted two
frame buildings into the air, killing
everybody inside and scattering the
wreckage and parts of the bodies of
the slain workers over the country
side for more than mile in all direc-
tions. About score were killed and
many more were injured.
Trinitrotoluol, not usually looked
upon as a high explosive, suddenly
proved the truth of the belief of old
munition workers that nobody
knows anything about explosives" by
flaring up and carrying away the
house in which it was being packed
into shells and mines.
A man named RedsOn was seated
in a wagon, to which two mules were
hitched, few feet from the trinito-
luol house. Spokes of wagon wheels
and the mans shoes were all that
could be found of the driver, team
or wagon after the blast.
Other explosions followed the orig
inal flare, but, strangely enough, no.
body was killed in the succeeding
blasts of high explosives, many of
which are scheduled as hundreds of
times more powerful than that which
caused the disaster.
A building in which nitro-benzol
is manufactured was blown up by the
force of the first explosion. Two more
buildings, in which huxite was manu-
featured, also were blown up, but the
explosive remained in tact, though
blazing embers fell about it.
Just how the explosion occurred
is not known-probably never will
be known, since every man who had
any opportunity to know about it is
dead. 1t is suggested, however, that
the supposedly "slow explosive"
caught fire in some unexplained man
ner.

PURE BRED CATTLE
OWNERS AROUSED
Breeders Want Rigid Investigation
of Law Governing Entrance of
Cattle Into Georgia.

THOMASVILLE.-The fact that
nearly $4,000 worth of pure-bred cat
tie bought by Watt & Tuck, of this
city, as well as many bought in Ter
rell and other counties, have had to
be slaughtered recently on account of
evidences of tubercular disease has
caused a demand for a rigid investi-
cation of the state law governing the
entrance of cattle into the state.
The cattle condemned from the
herd of Watt & Tuck were purchased
some months ago at sale in Albany.
They were shipped into Georgia on
the certificate of the Missouri state
veterinarian and received on that
certificate by the Georgia authorities.
They were tested by the state author
tiles and condemned for slaughter.
The cattle lost were fine animals, and
probably will be a total loss to the
owners, thought they will endeavor
to make some settlement with the
Missouri cattlemen from whom they
we're purchased.
1t is asserted by those interested
in raising pure-bred cattle that the
state should protect the purchasers
with thorough examination of all
cattle brought into it for sale, even
though accompanied by certificate
from another state.

TWENTY-SIX FINE DAIRY
COWS DIE OF ARSENIC POISON
Was Stored in Cotton Seed Hulls AZ
ter Charging Dipping Vat.

SANDERSVILLE, Ga.--A total of
twenty-six cows have succumbed to
arsenic poisoning at the East Side
dairy of jeff A. Irwin.
A bag of arsenic was stored in ar
old barn last fall after charging the
dipping vat. Overseers were changed
and a carload of cotton seed hulls
dumped into the barn containing the
poison. Tuesday the last of the hulls
were raked up and fed the cows, and
Wednesday they became sick and
Thursday began dying. Antidotes
were given as soon as the costly mis-
take was discovered, but too late.
A pair of twin registered Jerseys
are included in the death list, valued
at several hundred dollars. The loss
is estimated at $4,000.
Mr.. Irwin's dairy is one of the fin
estin the south, supplying Savannah
and other cities. 1t is estimated that
40 cows will die out of herd of go.
A large force of hands is busy bury
ing the animals. Hundreds of peo-
pie have visited the scene.

GEORGIA PROHIBITION GETS
A BLOW BELOW THE BELT
Attorneys For Central Railroad Say
ct Permits Delivery of Whiskey,
Beer and Wine.

SA All, Ga.-Georgians who
have bee ing they had to con-
fine orders liquors shipped under
the new prohibition laws to two
quarts of whiskey, cor" one gallon of
wine, cor" forty-eight pints of beer
a month may now take heart. They
can get them all three if they will
ship by the Central of Georgia rail-
way.
The Central does not particularly
crave the honor and distinction of
handling the small shipments, but it
does not think the Georgia legislature
in it's wisdom ever intended to con-
fine one man to two quarts of liquor,
cor" a gallon of wine, 'or" forty
eight pints of beer in one month, and
it has so advised its shipping depart
ment through its legal department.
Lawton & Cunningham, the rail-
roads attorneys, gave the advice in a
letter, in which they quote ambigu-
GUS language of the new act

CHILD PERISHED
IN BURNING BARN
While Playing With Matches Set the
Building on Fire, and Flames Cut
OFF Avenues of Escape.

The four-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. C. Langford of Draneville
was burned to death yesterday after
noon about 2 o'clock despite the fran
tic efforts of the father and several
neighbors to rescue the little fellow
from the flames, which devoured the
barn and gasoline storage house on
the Langford place.
The body was playing in the barn,
and according to the story of the ne
gro nurse girl struck a match which
he found on the floor of the building.
A quantity of hay and fodder was
ignited and blazed up all at once,
cutting off all avenue of escape for
the little chap.
His screams attracted the atten-
ton of his father, who was IN his
store not far from the burning build
ing. Rushing to the barn he attempt
ed to enter and carry out his son,
but was unable to do so on account
of the fierce heat.
The boys mother was in her home
but a short distance away. She faint,
ed when she realized that the child
was being burned to death.-Amerl-
