REVIVAL GOES
MOVING_ ALONG,
Grace Church Was Crowded
Again Last Night to
Hear Rev, Morrell.
MANY WERE CONVERTED,
And Interest Seems to Be on the
Increase—Seryices in the
Churches Tomorrow,
Never, perhaps, before Rev. J. L. Mor
rell’s arrival in Macon, and his conduct of
the protracted services at Grace church,
has such an effective gospel been preached
to the people. Little children, young men
and maidens, old men and women, all
come under the influence of his preaching,
and every night since the revival began
there have been conversions and acces
sions to the church. Tonight there will
be received into the church those who
shave applied for membership this week.
As Mr. Morrell has other engagements,
tonight and tomorrow morning and night,
•will be the last opportunities that the peo
ple of Macon will have to hear this suc
cessful revivalist and great preacher. Mr.
Morrell, while preaching the doctrine of
repentance, and warning his hearers
about the wrath to come if they don’t for
jeake their sins, in the strongest kind of
terms, at the same time impresses his
hearers with the fact that he has the
profoundest sympathy and love for them,
and it is rarely ever the case that he
preaches a sermon that does not bear
fruit. Mr. Morrell has a wonderful knowl
edge of human nature, is thoroughly
versed in the Scriptures, perfectly conse
crated to the work of the Master, and a
man rarely equipped for preaching the
gospel.
Mr. Morrell is strong and apt in illus
tration, never wasting a word or failing
to impress a point. At times Mr. Morrell
is grandly eloquent, and his word paint
ing and graphic descriptions magnificent.
Last night Grace church was crowded to
hear Mr. Morrell preach a great sermon
from Ezekiel 18-20, “The Soul that Sin
meth it Shall Die.” The preacher said
that “God hates sin and he.had a right to
hate sin, for sin had caused all the trouble
in the world. It caused God to xgive his
only begotten son to come into the world
and die, that the world might be redeemed.
Sin causes all the tears, all the heart
aches, all the crimes. Sin Is the only
thing that can keep a man out of heaven.
While God is a God of love and mercy, he
is also a God of justice, and justice de
mands that sin should be punished. God
locates sin in the soul, and the soul is
punished with eternal death—eternal sep
aration from God.
Sin Is disobedience to God—doing what
you know God does not want you to do.
It is being out of harmony with God and
his holy law. Don’t you believe in anni
hilation—that God is going to blot out
your soul—that there will be no more of
you after physical death than the dog or
cat. God never created anything to blot
it out. You may cut down and burn up a
tree, but the ashes and gasses will be pre
served in some form some where. The in
destructability of matter is an argument
for a future existance. Bob Ingersoll
says, that if he is mistaken in his views,
he will just walk up to God, and tell him
that he was mistaken. When he hears
God say, depart from me into everlasting
fire, he just won’t do anything of the
kind. If he does he will do more than he
did during the war when he heard the
Confederate yell. For then it is said,
Colonel Ingersoll just took his little soul
and pistol and took to the woods. But
there is a remedy for sin. God says, “If
the wicked will turn from ali his sins
"which he hath committed, and keep our
•statutes he shall not die.” It all defends
upon an if —if you will turn away from
your sins, and keep his commandments.
Now is the accepted time, now Is the day
of salvation nigh. Turn ye, turn ye, why
will ye die. You are risking the life of
your immortal souls, every day that you
put off coming to Christ. It is like a man
that was hanging over a precipice, by a
small bush, and every moment one after
another of the little rootlets is snapping i
away, until the last one has snapped and
the man has plunged down the chasm and
dashed to pieces on the rocks below.
Tonight, right now, there may be only
a heart beat between you and death.
Every heart beat brings you that much
nearer to the judgment.
After the sermon a large number of the
congregation remained for consultation
and prayer, and there were a number of
conversions and accessions to the church. |

HARRIS BROTHERS
Taken Down to Colquitt County Yesterday
For Trial.
Sheriff Fisher, of Colquitt county, came
to Macon yesterday and spent some time.
When -he left he took away with him the
two Harris boys confined in Bibb jail for
safekeeping.
The Harris’ are two young white men
who killed Nee Smith another white man
in Colquitt county some time ago. The
murder was cold-blooded and the com
munity was so outraged that it was
thought the Harris brothers would be
lynched, they were then removed for safe
keeping to Macon.
Sheriff Glenn, of Pike county, was also
in the city looking after some misde
meanor convicts.

COMMERCIAL
FERTILIZERS,
Immense Quantity Was Used
in Georgia During the
Last Year.
REDUCTION THIS YEAR,
So Think the Fertilizer Men and
Commissioner Nesbitt—slo,-
000,000 in Futures,
Four hundred thousand tons of com
mercial fertilizers used in Georgia in one
year are startling figures, but that was
the number sold last year.
Commissioner Nesbit thinks the number
will not reach that notch this year, be
cause of the extremely low’ price of cot
ton.
The use of commercial fertilizers, in the
opinion of many, is injurious to the land,
and they believe that cotton seed and
other substitutes are better than the com
mercial fertilizers.
The factories, however, judging from
the number of tags ordered from the ag
ritultunal department, are expecting in
creased sales for the coming year. Using
commercial fertilizers is second nature
with the Georgia farmer, and it will be
just as hard for him to put these things
away as for the average Georgia politician
to eschew’ politics.
Four hundred thousand tons at an aver
age of $25 per ton means an annual ex
penditure of slo,ooo,ooo—quite a snug sum.
This is forty per cent, of the entire cotton
crop of the state last year. There were
1,000,000 bales in round numbers, which,
at an average of $25 per bale would make
$25,000,000.
These figures signify that the salvation
of the Georgia farmer is in cutting down
his fertilizer supply or in providing some
less expensive substitute.
The intensive plan of farming, of which
the late Farish C. Furman, of Baldwin
county, was an outspoken advocate is be
ing generally observed now throughout
the state than ever.
Notes Taken
On the Run.
The annual meting of the stockholders

A young hopeful of eight summers and
nearly as many winters was at the tea
table the other evening, and feeling it his
duty- to entertain a young lady guest
said: “Miss Mary, did you know that cur

Being thoroughly confused and abashed
by the roar of laughter which followed,
he sought to escape by explaining, “Well,
