The police hold several we'll defined
conclusions on which they are work

been flushed they do not expect to re-

ambassadors from the North for negro
labor
The idea is not foreign that several
local negroes have had great deal to
dc with thesmovement, assisting in the
plans.

Savannah is Center.

Savannah continues to be consider
ably in the spotlight, with Americus
laying no small role in the exporta-
ton of negroes. The following news
story of much interest in this section
is from the Savannah Morning News:
Moved by unfounded rumors that
another train would leave from Cen
trail Junction for the North, carrying
ali laborers willing to go, fully three
thousand negroes began gathering at
the junction about 10 o'clock yester-
day morning and remained hopefully
until shortly before o'clock last
night.
Men, many women and few child
rem made up the crowd. Each person
had a satchel, bundle or bag filled with
clothing and personal belongings.
They distributed themselves along the
road and the spur tracks, so congest-
ing traffic that squads of city and
county police went to the scene
to clear the way.
None of the intending emigrants was
able to tell where the rumor originated
of how it had gained such vide circu-
lation.
I'VE just heard about it and thought
we'd like to go away, so we fixed up
our things and came up here to wait
for the train," one of the party of Sa-
vannah negroes said.
others from every part of the county
and even more remote localities gave
practically the same explanation of
their presence.
Great disappointment was expressed
c. stolidly borne by the negroes, ac-
eording to their various dispositions,
when they finally became convinced
there would be no train.
Light first began to dawn on them
at nightfall A number, worn from
waiting in the hot sun during the
Dragging hours, picked up their be-
longings and moved slowly off down
tie road, looking back occasionally to
further verify their suspicion that the
rumor was without foundation.
This act impressed the others and
few more detached themselves from
ore of the main bodies and moved off.
Others followed and soon the road
hack to savannah was lined for miles
on each side with weary marchers. At
= o'clock. all but few had dispersed.
The county police believe the fact
taat northbound labor trains left the
irnction on two preceding Mondays
,oused the belief to obtain among the
negroes another would leave yester
dav No other movements of laborers
ie being planned SO far as can be
learned.
Presence Of policemen kept down
.-ieorder. There were several fights,
but none of serious nature. One arrest
was made. officers remained on the
,cene until the last of the negroes had
gone.

SACRED TEMPLES
MADE OVER WITH
PASSING YEARS

TOXIC, japan, Aug. 16.-solemn and
historic services of ancient japan IN
which virgins took an impressive mart
have just been held in connection with
the reconstruction of the Grand
Shrine at Ise dedicated to Amateurasu
omikami, the grand ancestress of the
japanese Empire. who, according to
tradition, dwelt in the heavenly re-
gions. The sacred temples are re-
constructed every twenty-five years
and the time has now arrived for their
replacement.
The recent ceremony was that Of
laying the foundation of the tempor-
airy shrine which will shelter the sane
tIary Of the outer temple during the
work of reconstruction of the main
building. There were two services.
one in the morning and another at
midnight and they were conducted in
the presence of Prince Taxa Kuni. the
grand prelate of the shrine. and many
officials and shinto priests.
When the shinto rites for purifying
the land were concluded Prince Taxa
huni, acting as the personal messen-
ger OF the Emperor, worshipped at
the main shrine and food offerings for
the spirit of the ancestral deity were
placed on the altar. The food wa.
subsequently removed and buried ON
the lot at the four points of the COM
pass. Then group of virgins dress
ed in pure white robes with deep pur-
pie "hakama,'' performed the rites Of
cutting the shrubs and moving the
grass with sacred sickles. The cere-
money at midnight was similar to the
morning ceremony, with the difference
that the rites of moving down the
shrubs and grass we're replaced by the
telling of tsmber-to be used for the
sacred pillars of the temporary shrine.
Here, also, virgin officiated. The
night spectacle was sublime. The
surrounding forests were Illuminated
with thousands of faring torches.
The grand Shrine of Ise occupied a
prominent place in the court cere-
monies of last year when Emperor
Yoshihito was consecrated as ruler of
the Empire of Nippon. They are visit
ed by the Emperor and Empress only
upon the occasion of the conservation
CT accession, but imperial messengers
are dispatched here every year to pay
homage to the deity. The shrines are
held in special alteration by the whole
nation, for Ise is the Mecca of Nippan.
Every orthodox Japanese plans to.
make a pilgrimage there at least once
in his life time.
The strength of the national rever--
ence for the shrine at Ise was tragical--
ly manifested in 1889 on the very day
that Emperor Mutsuhito promulgated
the constitution. viscount Arinorf
Mori, former minister to the United
States, was stabbed to death by stu
dent because of the charge that while
visiting the shrine of the Sun Goddess
he had shown lack of respect by lift
ing one of the curtains with his walk
ing stick. The deed was held to be
Fsacrilagious and objectionable be-
cause it menaced the sacred founda-
tion and divinity of the Imperial Jap
anese house" To this day the assas-
sins grave is decorated by admiring
zealots. The act attributed by Mori
has never been proved.

Fell Through Cut.

The automobile containing the party
passed through Americas early in the
morning, en- route to Macon. When
they reached the scene where the acci-
dent took place, the car fell through a
cut about fifteen feet deep where a
bridge had been washed away. A road
had been temporarily built around the
bad place, but in the darkness this
was not seen and the car took the
straight road.
Mrs. Carter fell between the car and
the embankment and was instantly
killed. The young son summoned med.
ical aid, as doctor lived near the
scene of the accident.
Mr.. Elrod is brother of Mrs. Car
ter, and his injuries are painful. The
injuries of Mr.. Carter may prove seri-
Gus, as it is impossible at this time to
ascertain his actual condition.

j.. S. (Doc) Glover, of Americus. went
to the scene of the wreck near Ogle>
thorpe, as he was in the latter city, re-
turning home from Atlanta.
Mr., Glover assisted in TIE work of
placing the remains of Mrs. Carter on
the train and with the injured peo-
pie,

ness at Smithville and was formerly in
charge of the water tank of the Cen
trail of Georgia railway, at Smith
vile.
Many friends of the people in this
section mourn the accident.

Instruction in Tent work.

Z Lieut. Col. Kimbrough had all the
Second regiment companies, including
the Americus Light Infantry, out yes
terday with pickaxe and stobs erecting
pyramidal tents in the regimental
streets. Each of the company officers
had their manuals out doing the thing
according to Hoyle." Some of the
companies drew warranted praise from
the popular lieutenant colonel.
While the Second was going
through this instruction, the Fifth was
doing field maneuvers on the high hill
overlooking the camp just back of St
Stanislaus college. One battalion was
stationed on the old civil war forti-
fications, while the other two bat
talions of the regiment attacked
them The defenders of the Confed-
crate works retreated when they were
all but surrounded by the two bat
talions. The attack was one of the
most novel sights witnessed since the
soldiers came to Macon.
