REV W EMUNFORD
Retires From the Methodist
Episcopal Conference.
GREAT WORK UNDERTAKEN
Will Establish the Georgia Indus
trial Home for Indigent Or
phans and Children.
The hundreds at.d thousands of friends
of Rev. W. E. Mumford in 'his citv and
throughout the state will be surprised to
leant that ‘he retired from the itenerant
Methodist ministry at the conference at
Hawkinsville last Saturday. For five years
he haw been untiring and unwavering in his
labors as agent of the South Georgia. Con
ference Orphan Home and this past sum
mer was elected agent of Wesleyan Fe
male College and thought at one time of
accepting, hut for three years he has had
it on bis mind and heart that the most
urgent need on charitable ines in Georgia
' Is the establishment of an Industrial Home
School and Farm for that class of children
who are not now being reached by any
other Institution of the state, and he de
cided some weeks ago that he would put
down everything else and devote his time
and talents to this great work. He has ,
given up salary, place in the church and I
chance for a good pastorate and goes out
on faith in God and humanity to build i
thishome for Georgia’s outcast children. 1
Hr laid the matter before the bishop and J
he told him that a man ought not to be i
required to retire from the itineracy to do |
the work be proposed but that there was I
no law authorizing his appointment to it I
and on Saturday last Mr. Mumford made a |
statement to the conference of his decision j
and was honorably retired at his own re- ■
quest. It certainly requires a degree of
faith of a high order for a man of his
chances with a great church organization
1o give them up and go out to plead the
cause of the helpless. The poor and neg
lected childhood of Georgia at last have
found a tongue and pen to plead their
cause. No man in the state is better known
than he is in South Georgia as he has
traveled thousands of miles and preached
and lectured for five years In this terri
tory for the Orphan’s Home in Vineville.
In five years he has raised one $35,000 out
vs his limited territory to support the
cfMdren of this home. The institution will
no doubi 1 jnlss his labors, but he feels thdi I
,jt ( is and Rev. W. A. Huck
abee, bf Camilla, Ga., and who built the
South Georgia College at Mcßea has been
elected agent of the Home in Mr. Mum
ford’s place and the latter feels that thi*
intrest Js In bands.
The Georgia Industrial Home which Mr. I
Mumford will establish fills a long felt
want and enters an unoccupied field. It
will have no competition. A charter has
been applied for and thefounder greatly
desires that Macon should secure this
Home. For over two years Mr. Mumford
has lived here and he has been well ac
quainted with Macon for years and has
always loved this city and he says that
this Home should be located here because
.Macon is centrally located, has magnicent
railroad facilities, hundreds of good people
nail every advantage for the foundation
and location of such a charity. The en- I
terprise properly encouraged by the peo
ple of Macon will have a start which will
assure its success throughout the state.
Hon. G. R. Glenn, state school commis
sioner, Dr. I*. D. Pollock, of Mercer, Hon.
W. A. Davis, grand master of Georgia,
Col. C. M. Wiley, ordinary of Bibb county
and Mr. E. J. Willingham, of Payne
Willingham, are associated with Mr.
Mumford as an advisory board.
Surely no greater charity has ever been ;
started in Georgia by any single man, and :
the one who starts this has no great sum
of money achieved him. but he has put
the gifts of his head and heart on the alter
of this cause and with faith in God and
humanity he says he feels that the insti
tution will be richly endorsed.
It is an undenominational charity—will
be planned for future generations, will be
built with the Home idea and the idea
and the industrial feature predominant
and here are its objects:
1. To care for indigent orphans and chil
dren of both sexes of the white race in
Georgia and who are not now being reach
ed by any other charitable institution,
hence it will not conflict with the work of
any orphan home in the state. The age
ofr admission will be from 6 to 15 years
and it -is contemplated to keep each in
mate until his or her majority. This is
not now done by any other orphan home
in the state so far as I know.
2. To reach and save the street waif and
all children under 14 years who are con
victed of crime, and all idle, roaming chil
dren without home or friends and who
subsist by begging, and the children of the
vicious and also all badly environed, as
well as the children of the indigent.
3. To relieve the vanity of any boy or
girl over 6 and under 15 years of age be
ing sent to any poor home or pauper farm
in Georgia and to prevent the same by law I
as soon as the Georgia Industrial Home is
an established success.
4. to provide all these classes of neg-
lected and helpless children a Home upon
the cottage or family group place in the
country on a farm and industrial educa- ■
tion is useful and callings whereby they I
may not only be rescued and saved to so
mety but made wealth producers instead
♦f mere consumers, who have “no chance”
under the pitiable conditions which now
surround them. *■
The founder has had every encourage
ment since his plans have become public.
A leading merchant has already volunteer
ed a liberal contribution. Mr. Mumford
has not asked for any subscriptions but
assurances of anxiety to help voluntarily I
come from several. He proposes to give
the entire city a chance to help in this
great work and The News is sure that the
appeal will go to the heart of all. From >
all over Georgia strong letters of endorse- |
ment and encouraging demands of help
have come. Mr. Mumford wants Macon to
secure the location of the Home and pro- I
poses <o start his subscription list here '
and then go to the state. He will nuke
an active canvass of the entire state in the ■
interest of this high and noble work, and
we bespeak for him wherever he may go I
a most cordial reception. He has made
considrable reputation as a lecturer and ]
preacher in South Georgia and no audi- '
| ence who greets him will be promised a
dull time. His great project will go to
1 the heart of the people. Humanity has
heart and all that is needed is to reach •
• and touch it.
CAMP ’SPEAK-EASIES”
Broken up by the Officers of the Second
Ohio.
For some time the officers of the Sec- 1
; and Ohio have been aware that Liquor was
being 6old in or near the camo, and as.
th re are no saloons in that vicinity, it was i
naturally concluded that some one was
conducting a ‘‘blind tiger.” Suspicion
pointed to a certain negro hut near the
camp, and a raid was planned on it for
Saturday night. At the last minute some
of the officersn were given the tip that the
liquor was being sold within the camp,
right under their noses, as it were. The
officer of 'the day, Captain W. J. White,
and officer of the guard, Lieutenant E. W.
Martz, conducted the raid, and were ae
, companied by Major W. Kautzman. Va- i
rious cook shantiese were surrounded and
searched, but in only one was enough evi
; dence found to warrant arrests. At the
mess hall of the line officers of the Second |
battalion, a number of soldiers were found I
drinking, and some were decidedly under
: the influence. The cook, Frank Walkie,
I was placed under arrest. Then the offi
cers went to the negrv, hut above mention
ed, where more evidence of the illicit
traffic was found, and the man who was
doing rhe selling was arrested.
The Second Ohio has never had a “can
teen,” and its standard of morality has al
ways been the highes-t, and that this rep
utation shall now be maintained the offi
cers of the regiment are determined that
no liquor shall be sold in or near the
camp.
Lieutenant Martz, one of the officers to
conduct the raid Saturday night, was taken
; ill with penumonia yesterday morning,
' and is now dangerously ill. He was deli
rious all night. The prisoners will be all
j turned over to the United States author- |

THE HEART OF MARYLAND
Will be the Attraction at the Academy of
Music Tonight.
Tonight Macon will have the first and
only production of David Belasco's play, ,
“The Heart, of Maryland” which was New
York. Boston. Chicago and San Francisco’s
chief attraction during the past three
seasons, and its first representations were
given in England last spring and summer
at the Adelphi theatre, London, the per
formances extending through twelve weeks
and was the great dramatic event of the
season. It was acepted by the press and
the public and enthusiastically greeted as
the most perfectly constructed and most
humanly absorbingly interesting American
play that had thus far been brought upon ;
the English stage. The stage settings and '
effects are the same that were presented I
ther and during its Amrican tour. The j
cast is represented by a company of ar- |
tists especially selected by Mr. Belasco
and includes many of the most popular and
talented representative players of the New i
Yow theatres.
CURE OF ASTHMA
After 35 Years of Suffering.
It wil be gratifying to asthmatic readers j
. to learn that an absolute has at last
been discovered by Dr. Rudolph Schiff- ;
mann. That the remedy is an effective one i
cannot be doubted after perusal of such i
testimony as that of C. W. Van Aatwerp, :
Fulton. New York,, yho says: Your Asth- !
■ ma .Cure is the best I ever used. I tried j
it according to directions and one box en- ;
tireiy cured me of asthma, and I have not j
had it since. I can now go to bed and i
sleep all night with perfect comfort, which i
I have not done before for 35 years, and I I
I thank you for the health that is now mine
j I hope you will publish this letter, that
I others may learn of its wonderful vir
' lues.”
