FARMERS HOLD GRIP
ON CITV'S MILK

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Dairying farm
ers throughout the state tightened
their grip upon the city's milk supply
today, it being announced that the pro-
ducers are holding back supplies in
order to compel the distributors to pay
higher prices for their product
The distributors, who have organized
and are fighting the demand for in
creased prices by the farmers, claimed
this afternoon that sixty per cent. of
the city's normal supply had been re-
ceived today, but this statement is re-
futed by representatives of the farm
ers' union who said that not more than
25 per cent the usual quantity of milk
came into New York this morning.
Reports from all parts of the state
tell of thousands of gallons of milk be-
ing spilled and lost in combats be-
tween dairymen and employees of the
distributing companies, who are pick
citing the roads leading TO railroad sta
tions. 1t is alleged that many farmers
who refused to deliver their usual
supply of milk to the distributors were
held up by agents of these concerns
and beaten, several being seriously in
jured

Cars To The Barns.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 3.--All cars
were ordered into the barns by the
company at Z o'clock last night, be-
cause, as stated from the company's
offices, minor rioting had started on
the outskirts of the city on the suburb
an lines, particularly in the hollows.
The men operating cars were threat
ened, rocks were thrown at the cars
and in number of instances the win
dcws were broken. The company held
that it could not accept responsibility
for injury to passengers under such
conditions, even though it might be
willing to risk its equipment with the
expressed willingness of the men to go
en- trying to operate.
BY tonight new arrangements viii
have been made, it is stated, to put at
least two guards on each of the cars,
for the purpose of protecting the pas
sengers and the rolling stock, thus

|287,G13 BALES IN
MUNITIONS FOR.
UNITED STATES.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. g.
Two hundred and eighty-seven thous-
and, seven hundred and thirteen equiv
alent five-hundred pound bales OF
bleached cotton fibre of the growth OF
nineteen-fifteen and from stocks car
ried previously, had been used to June
Both last in the manufacture of explos-
ives in this country. Announcement
of these figures was made today by the
United States census bureau, having
been gathered by correspondents in
every munitions manufacturing dis
trict in the stotes.
A comparison of these figures with
those for 1915 is interesting and
shows a notable increase in the use of
cotton for making explosives. During
that year a total of two hundred and
forty-four thousand and three equiv
a!ent fye-hundred-pound bales were
consumed for such purposes, the cen
sus bureau announces, the consump-
tion during nine months of the present
year exceeding the whole consumption
for the making of explosives during
1915.
1t is figured by experts of the cen
sus bureau and of the department of
agriculture that cotton bleached for
the manufacture of explosives is thir-
ty-fve per cent lighter than the un-
bleached fibre, which would indicate
that the actual consumption Of cotton
used in making explosives is really
nearly two-thirds greater than the
figures above show

REVIVAL CROWS At
LEE STREET CHURCH

The revival services at Lee Street
church have begun in earnest. Rev.
Leroy Brown, of Shellman, arrived
yesterday and had charge of last
nights service. His subject was the
Character of Christian Witness" and
he handled his subject we'll. Mr..
Brown is a we'll equipped man and
not only breaches eloquently, but with
power.
1T had been feared by some that the
congregations would be small on ac-
count of the church being some dis
rance from the business section of the
city, but the congregations both Sun
Gay night and last night showed that
such fear was certainly groundless.
The house was packed on Sunday night
and comfortably filled last night.
The hours for holding servises are
10000 a. M and 1880 p. m. Rev. Brown
will preach tonight on the subject of
Sin When 1t Is Finished Bringeth
Forth Death"
The roll of members that is to form
teh membership is rapidly increasing
and the indications point to a marked
increase in Methodism oi Amer1cn5 on
account of organizing the Lee Street
church.
Mrs. Mary Kate Heys sang a beau
tiful solo, His Eyes Are on The Spar
row." last night She has charge of
the choir during the revival. and Mrs.
Joe Johnson is at the piano.

ATTORNEY DENIES
LOWREY HAS TRIAL

An exclusive story in the Times-Re-
corder several days ago has caused
much interest in which it was said that
paper had it on reliable information
that new trial would be granted to
Mathew NJ. Lowrey, former cashier OF
the Americus National Bank, now I'M
der sentence in the federal court.
The Macon Telegraph this morning
has the following story;
Although denied by Assistant Unit
ed States District Attorney Wallace
Miller, it is persistently rumored in
Macon that Judge w. w. Lumbdin, OF
Savannah, judge of the United States
district court, has given Mathew NJ
Lowrey, former cashier of the Ameri-
Gus National bank, a new trial.
"A representative of the Telegraph
asked Mr.. Miller yesterday if he had
received any word as to the new trial
being granted. He replied saat he had
heard the rumor, but was inclined not
to believe it, as Judge Lambdin, he
stated, will probably make his an
nouncement public when he decides
the case.
THE case against Emmett Hawkins,
one of the bank officials now under in
dictment, has been postponed on ac-
count of the illness of his leading
counsel, Roland Ellis"

RUMAN|ANS HAVE
INVADED LANDS
Of BULGAR|ANS

Rumania's stroke in throwing "A
force across the Danube into Bulgaria
continues the outstanding feature of
the war news today. Should this army
prove of formidable size, it constitutes
a serious menace to Field Marshal Won
Mackensen's left, and might easily
force a Germanic retirement from the
present front along the Constanza-Te-
hernavoda railway. The German-Buf-
garian army there is being subjected TO
heavy pressure already, and it is re-
ported in unofficial dispatches from
Rome, received via London, that Won
Mackensen has already ordered the
evacuation of Silistria and TurtuxAi,
fortified Rumanian towns recently cap
tured by armies of the Central Powers.
The Rumanian troops invading Bull
garia numbered several battalions of
field artillery, the Bulgarian war Office
says today The Sofia statement also
admits Bulgarian retreat before Ser
bian artillery fire in Macedonia, where
Paris announced a Serbian advance
during Monday.
The Sofia government claims the re-
pulse of British attacks in the Struma
district, while Paris announced that
Bulgarian attacks there had been re-
pulsed by British troops.
There is violent fighting in progress
on the Somme front today, and the Pa
ris statement this morning announces
that artillery and Entente machine gun
fire stopped a German night attack.

MOzO LEAVES WORK
Of SUMTER COUNTY

John F. Mozo, for several years in
charge of one of the gangs on the
Sumter county roads, resigned late
yesterday following an investigation
by the board of county commissioners
of the escape of Austin Miller, a
white convict, several weeks ago,
Guard Holloway, on duty when Miller
escaped, had already ended his service
with the county.
The commissioners found, after
hearing the testimony concerning the
escape, that it was carelessness which
permitted the act.
The latest escape of Miller is his
third offense, and on the last trip he
has not been caught.

Chief PARKER URGES
MERCHANTS ON TRASH

Chief Parker, of the fire department,
made an investigation today in rear of
the Americus business houses to find
tLat large amount of trash, which is
extremely dangerous, has been thrown
back of the stores. Chief Parker, with
the slogan of Safety First" requests
the merchants to place their trash in
the front of the stores in order that it
lray be hauled away by the scavenger
department.
The fire fighters say that it is much
harder to handle fire where trash is
accumulated behind the houses as the
fire plugs are all in n'front.
1t is urged that the business men
look after this matter, and minimize
the danger from fires.

CAVALRY MAY BE
in AMER|CUS To
PITCH THE TENTS

1t is reported in Americus that there
is possibility that the Savannah cav
airy may come to Americus to camp
until they are ordered to the border,
or are discharged from further active
service with the government under the
National Guards in the field
Major Harold, of Macon, in charge
of the hospital corps at Camp Harris,
and Captain MacIntyre, of the Savan-
nah cavalry, were in Americas Sunday,
spending some time at the home of
Major Harrold's brother, Frank Har-
rold, on College street. They spent a
while at Andersonville, and were ac-
companied by their families.
Rumor has it that more or less
trouble has been brought about at
Camp Harris between the cavalry and
other branches of the service, which
gives a partial theory that Americus is
being investigated as a site for the cav
airy in case they are moved from Ma
con.
1t is known that Americus was mem
toned for the mobilization point when
the National Guards were called out,
but Macon had already been selected.
Should the troopers come to the city,
they will be heartily welcomed, and
Americus will be glad to play the host.

JEWISH HOLIDAY
.OF ATONEMENT
BEGINS FRIDAY

The Day of Atonement or .Yom
Kippur." the tenth of the month Of
Tishri, begins at sunset Friday, Oc-
tober and ends at sunset Saturday
October z. The though underlying the
day is expressed in the scripturar
words "On this day He will atone for
you, to purify you from all your sins.
1t is day, therefore, of reconciliation
OF man with his fellow-man and with
God, and comes as climax to the hol-
iday season which began Wednesday
evening, September q, with the New
Years Day and continued through the
ten days of penitence. On New Years
Day of Judgment of ordinary people,
who had been neither completely right
eous not utterly sinful was left un-
decided and the opportunity was given
them for repentance; now the Day OF
Atonement provides all men with the
possibility Of returning to their God
and Of finding reconciliation with Him
through prayer.
The Day is the most solemn of ALI
days in the Jewish calendar. 1t is pass
&c in fasting and prayer. The whole
day is spent in the synagogue. In the
evening there is the service which
commences with the chanting of the
weil-known Kol Nidre prayer. The day
proper has four services. OF these the
Mussaf or additional service contains
a description Of the atonement rites
as practiced in the ancient days in the
Temple at Jerusalem; and the Neilah
service is understood to be held at the
time when decision is finally made as
to mans fate, and thus the Neilah
prayers instead of having the usual
phrose, 'Inscribe us in the book Of
life,' uses the expression: Seal us in
the book of life"
According to Jewish tradition ex-
pressed in an ancient law-book, the
Day of Atonement, when spent in
praying and reIenting, will bring par
don for sins between man and God:
but as for the sins committed by man
against his fellow man the Day can
not bring pardon until he has appeased
his fellow man. This idea is the basis
Cf the effort always made before the
Day of Atonement to bring peace be-
tween such friends who have become
estranged and are on unfriendly terms
with one another, and in this way the
Day will put the worshipper at peace
not only with his Maker, but also with
his fellow man.
