a dear tone.
"This man was engaged to another
young lady and be has failed to keep his
promise to marry her. She is now suing

Mr. Qld’s face flushed crimson, while
Miss Aprile looked astonished and seemed

damages for breach of promise brought
by Miss Olga Landsdorff.

a wealthy Italian.
Mr. Olds, who is about 50 years o)d. is

NEGROES TO DISCUSS
POLITICAL FUTURE
RALEIGH. N. C-, March 11.—" This is a
year of doubt and uncertainty," say the
leaders of the negro race in North Caro
lina. in issuing a call for a state conven
tion to be held in Raleigh on the 15th of
April.
The adoption of the franchise amend
ment to the constitution and the appa
rent indifference of those at the head of
the Republican party toward the remnant
of negroes who will vote In fature elec
tions has been a source of uneasiness
among the colored people of this state,
who say further in their address:
“The colored people are at sea. waiting
to see what their future hope is politically.
There is a want of understanding among
those who are in the lead and there is an
entire lack of organisation. Without these
two essentials we can never hope to ac
complish anything."
The convention is accordingly called
“for the purpose of reorganisation and to
have a calm discussion of what plan is
best to pursue.” and for numerous other
purposes that occur to the minds of the
leaders of the race. In concluMon the
call for the convention says: “This is a
crisis in the political history of our peo
ple in the state.” and urges every county
to send delegates.
It is expected that the call will result
In a large gathering of representative
negroes, and aa usual in negro conven
tions. there will probably be a great deal
of talk about acting independently of the
Republican TArty in the future. But no
one who uncrarstands the negro expects
anything else but blind obedience when
the white leaders get ready to give the
word of command.

GREENE AND GAYNOR REGISTER
AT A HOTEL IN THE CITY
OF QUEBEC, ON-
TARIO.
■" T /
NEW YORK. March 11.—Colonel John F.
Gaynor and his partner, B. D. Greene,
charged with conspiracy to defraud the
United States government and wanted for
hearing in Savannah. Ga., by the federal
authorities, are registered at the Chateau
Frontenac, according to a Herald dispatch
from Quebec.
They arrived there two days ago and
Mrs. Gaynor joined her husband Monday.
Colonel Gaynor, in response to questions
would only say:
“My name Is registered properly at this
hotel. Any one having business with me
will know where to find me.”
Colonel Gaynor is well known In Quebec,
where he has extensive business Interests.
The Macon News of Thursday publishes
a story to the effect that Captain Greene,
who, it Is alleged, has forfeited his bond
for appearance in Savannah, decided upon
flight after advising with his counsel, and
that the step was premeditated.
Attorneys Felder and Rountree, local
counsel for Captain Greene, were seen this
morning and stated that during all of the
.firm's connection with the case there was
no intimation of an intention on the part
of Greene to flee, but that on the contrary
he frequently assured his attorneys that
he would be In Savannah in time to an
swer to all charges.
TO REAR RANG ETHE~
UNION DEPOT TRACKS
Tracks entering the union depot will be
rearranged at once In order to facilitate
the handling of trains and prevent the
blocks which occur there daily. The re
arrangement will be made by the Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway,
lessees of the state road and the terminal,
and, when completed, it is said the trains
can move in and out with a great deal
more dispatch than heretofore.
At present there are a number of switch
es and short tracks right at the Whitehall
street viaduct, and when long trains are
pulling in and out of the station, It Is
Impossible for another train to get out
or In the depot in the same direction.
These switches will be moved, and nec
essary connections will be made below
the Forsyth street bridge. The tracks will
therefore come straight out from the un
ion depot and join together below the For
syth street bridge. Now a majority of
them join at the Whitehall street viaduct,
and this, of course, prevents the handling
of the long trains with anything like rap
idity. Then only one switch will have to
be turned where now It is necessary to
turn several.
Before the viaduct was built the rail
roads wanted to rearrange the tracks, but
the city would not allow it. Now that the
viaduct Is in use and no pedestrains use
the old Whitehall street crossing the rail
roads will make the change.
It Is, said if a new depot Is built on the
present site the rearranging of the tracks
will be a big help to the new station. The
survey for the rearrangement has already
been made, and It is expected that the
work on taking up and laying the tracks
will begin in a short time. Engineer
Quirley made the survey for the Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway.
NEGRO BOY KILLS
FATHER WITH GUN
JACKSON, Miss., March 11.—From
Richswoods. a few miles from here, comes
the story of the killing of a father by his
youthful son to save himself from par
ental wrath. The fourteen-year-old negro
had beep unmercifully flogged and mis
treated by his father, and with each suc
ceeding outbreak of parental wrath the
cruelty became more pronounced until on
the occasion the boy was told to go to
the house and wait until the father came,
and he was going to beat him to death.
The boy went to the house, secured the
shot-gun and attempted to escape to the
woods with It. He was seen running by
the father, who attempted to overtake
him. The two were scramoling for the
gun when the boy shot his father.
SAYS RAISE OF RATES
WAS NECESSARY
MACON. March 10.—Mr. Edgar S. Wil
son returned last night from New York,
where he went last week to attend the
conference between representatives of the
various Insurance writers’ organizations
east of the Rocky mountains. He says the
unions all agreed that it was absolutely
necessary for them to do as the South
eastern Tariff association has done, and
they will at once add a 25 per cent in
crease to their present rates on such risks
as have received the Southeastern Tariff
association increase. Mr. Wilson says the
increase in the number of fires and the
losses therefrom caused the raise of rates.
He says he thinks electric wires cause the
Increase In the number of fire losses.
MRS. DUPONT GUERRY
IN AN ACCIDENT
MACON, March 11.—A little negro bi
cycle messenger ran his bicycle Into the
turnout of Mrs. DuPont Guerry yester
day near Taylor’s corner and her horse
shied In such away as to badly Injure
the negro, but Mrs. Guerry was not hurt
in the least. The boy may die. although
he has considerable chance for recovery.
He says he was not riding fast, but could
not control his wheel. Those who were

Grain and Provision*.
CHICAGO, March 12.—Drenching rains came
to the relief of the suffering southwestern
wheat fields and took the bullish spirit out of
the oats speculators at the opening today. Ca
bles also were lower all around and general
selling set In. May started *®*c to *@*c
lower at 76*076 and at once dipped to 76*c
TherO was some covering for profits, which ab
sorbed offerings and May reacted and hung
around 76c. Local receipts were 25 cars, none
of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 276 care, making a total for the three
points of 301 care, against 360 last week and
383 a year ago. Corn suffered some loss at the
opening as a result of sympathy with the
wheat weakness. Cables were slightly lower
In the face of our Improvement yesterday. The
heavy rains west and southwest, however, were
used as a bull argument In that they must
necessarily further retard the movement to
market. Receipts were still light and May
which opened * to *c lower at 61*c to 61*c,
reacted to 61*®62c and steadied around that
figure. Receipts were 103 cars.
The liberal sales for short account in the
past two days since May wheat sold at 78*c
gave opportunity for good profits and covering
late in the day was heavy. This brought a firm
tone to the market and sent May up to yester
day’s closing price. May closed steady a shade
lower at 78*c.
When the wheat weakness began to be dissi
pated, the latent strength in corn developed
May was bought fairly and closed firm *@*c
up at 62*@*c.
Oats were fairly active and bullish at the
opening. The fair show of strength In corn
was some influence toward better prices, as
was also the shipment of 48,750 bushels of con
tract stocks, reducing the total stocks here
one-third In the past three days. May opened
unchanged at 4484 c, advanced to 4544 c on a fair
demand and reacted later and steadied around
46c. Receipts were 64 cars.
Provisions started out with a firm tone on
better prices at the yard for hogs. There was
also a fair demand for pork and covering In
provisions helped prices. May pork opened
244 to 5c up at 815.37*015.40, and sold to 315.45;
May lard, 2*®sc higher at $9.42*09.45 and
eased to $9.40 and May ribs unchanged $8.40.

Are You Going to
Church Tomorrow?
BY REV. LOY WARWICK, Pastor 8t Jamee Methodiet Church.
Are you going to church Sunday?
It is the Lord’s day.
Six days out of seven he lets us call
our own for work, play or pleasure.
Shall we rob God by taking the aeventh
also for ourselves? Surely we can’t be
so ungrateful and dishonest.
Sunday the shops and stores will be
closed, the noise of traffic will be hushed
and the church doors, "the gates of hea
ven,” will be open. You will go somewhere
and spend the day some way. Have you a
better place to go than to the house of
God, or a better way to spend the sacred-
Sabbath hours than In his worship and
service?
If you belong to the church you ought
to go from a sense of duty. Your faithful
pastor will be there. It Is no small mat
ter to him that you choose to stay away
while be dispenses the word of life.
Your presence will help him. Your ab
sence would grieve him. He has your best
interest at heart. He prays for you. He
pleads to the king to give him a message
for you. How can he deliver the King's
message unless you are there?
Your absence will not grieve him as a
personal slight. That Is the smallest part
of.lt. He is sad because he fears you have
lost your spiritual bearings and are be
ing lured to the rocks of danger.
But not only do you wrong your pastor
by absenting yourself from the house of
God, but, you sin against your brethren.
They need and they miss your moral and
material support.
Your course is selfish and unkind, to use
no stronger language. The faithful ones
who always go and give and do are car
rying your burden along with their own.
You would not think of shirking your
duties at home, or refusing to pay your
taxes, shifting load and responsibility to
other shoulders. Yet you are content to
let others go to church for you and pay
to the church for you.
Are you going to church Sunday?
You will be in good company If you do.
You may find good company elsewhere,
but It Is doubtful. You are bound to be
in good company if you "go up to the
house of the Lord.”
Young man, if you are looking for the
girl who will make you a good wife let me
SCHEME OF ENGLAND
HARMFUL TO AMERICA
NEW YORK. March 13.—1 n a letter re
ceived In this city from Thaddeus S.
Sharrot, who Is representing the United
States government In China, the writer
says be is still in Shanghai and is ne
gotiating a revision of commercial treaties
with the Chinese government. He says
that England wants to abolish the Likin
tax which has long been in vogue in that
ancient country and to have a tariff sys
tem established providing a. uniform rate
of 15 per cent on all-merchandise Import
ed Into China. Mr. Sharrot said he was
opposed to the proposed measure as
harmful to American Interests.
T. DEWITT TALMAGE ILL;
HE IS EN ROUTE HOME
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 13.—T. De-
Witt Talmage, confined to his berth on
account of Illness, has passed through this
city on his way to Washington. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Talmage and his
physician. Mr. Talmage Is returning from
Mexico, where he went several weeks ago.
Upon his arrival In the Mexican capital
he contracted a cold, and later Influenza
developed. While In the City of Mexico
he was under the care of Dr. Fields, of
the American hospital.
Dr. Talmage will stop one at New
Orleans to rest. Mrs. Talmage expresses
no fears over his condition.
CRIMINAL COURT POWERS
CONSIDERABLY CURTAILED
The’declslon of the supreme court Mon
day, In which It was held that the
criminal court of Atlanta was not a
branch of the city court will throw addi
tional work on Judge J. H. Lumpkin of
the superior court as now all of the cases
from the criminal court before reaching
the supreme court will have to be cer
tlorarled through the superior court.
The criminal court of Atlanta, Is there
fore nothing more than a justice court.
It was expected all along that the decision
of the supreme court concerning the su
preme court would be as It turned out,
and for a time it was feared that the sec
ond division of the city court would be
held to be unconstitutional. The supreme
court said, however, that Judge Calhoun
could preside In cases in the second di
vision of the city courts and writs of er
ror would hold good, as that division was
a city court, but when holding the crimi
nal courts he would have no authority
to grant writs of error.
AN IMMENSE EAGLE
KILLED NEAR WAYCROSS
WAYCROSS, Ga., March 12.—A mon
strous eagle was killed near the Okinfe
nokee swamp a few days ago by Mr. Gid
Cox. Mr. Obedlah Barber brought Its
talons to the city yesterday and the claws
measured two inches long.
The eagle was caught devouring a dead
hog and somehow got its claws fastened In
the hog and could not get away and Mr.
Cox killed it with a stick.
It weighed 45 pounds and was 8 feet and
3 inches from tip to tip of Its wings.

company to make brick. He was carried

tell you where to look for her Sunday.
She will be at church. Very likely she will
be teaching a Sunday school class.
Maybe you are a stranger in the oity.
If you are it Is very natural that you
desire to meet and know the best peoplo.
Let me say that the very best place for
you to compase that desire is at church.
There you will meet the men who are tne
bone and sinew, the backbone and brain
of this progressive city.
Are you going to church Sunday”
Perhaps you haven't been for a long
time. You are a "trunk member." Resur
rect that old “church letter” tonight and
take it to church in the mornlnff. Onte
you loved to go to church. Like David
you were glad when one said unto
"Let us go Into the house of the Lord.
The Sunday school was a delight and ben
ediction to your heart.
But for some time now you have been
drifting. You are away from the scenes
of your childhood; away from home and
mother; away from the old church, your
spiritual mother. ...
Are you away from God and without
hope In the world?
Let me beg you to go to church. Sun
day, confessing your backsliding and pray
ing God to restore your soul.
It Is high time you were turning. You
are drifting dangerously near the rapids.
Are you going to church Sunday?
Your mother will be there, unless aha la
worshiping in the church triumphant. If,
you are away from her she is praying and >
hoping that you will be found in the
house of God. For her sake you should
go. Go Sunday, then write and tell
her about It. It will rejoice her heart and
make her waning days lighter and bright
er. Go to church tomorrow. Your salva
tion, your eternal destiny may depend on
it. God’s messenger may have a message
for your soul direct from the throna The
angels above may see what you can’t see;
the danger rocks —the end of probation—
the tomb and the shadows of death.
This appeal from a stranger may be
God’s voice calling you, and calling for the
last time.
Church going Is not salvation, but It Is
a means of grace that we may slight only
at the peril of our souls.
DRUGGISTS SELLING
LIQUOR ON SUNDAY
WHISKY IS SOI.D THROUGH SODA
FOUNTS IN CHATTANOOGA—PO
LICE INVESTIGATE.
CHATTANOOGA, March 12.—Chief of
Police Fred Hill has sprung a sensation by
announcing that two of the leading drug
stores of the city have been selling whis
key after 10 o’clock at night and on Sun
days. These facts were reported to the
chief and have been investigated and
found correct. It Is said that the custom
at these stores has been this: On Sun
days or any other time that a customer
desired a drink he would go to the soda
fountain and call for a certain drink, the
name being understood between the man
behind the counter and the one oh the
stool. Any person seated near would
Judge that the customer called for
an ordinary drink. The customer would
receive an innocent looking glass of what
appeared to be soda, but instead it would
be mainly whisky with just enough soda "
in It to disguise the real article from the *
eyes of the curious.
