Diaz Shunned By Baptists Altogether.
ASHEVILLE. N. C.. May 13—Toe Dias
matter has been the sole subject of con
versation among the delegates since the
report of the committee on Saturday.
►es-Bson after the report was read Dr. Diaz
made his appearance. having come
straight from Cuba. He said he had just
come to attend the convention and to
see-the brethren.
This statement did not pan out. for it
was sad to see this man. once the Hon of
the hour among the Southern Baptists,
shunned by the leading men of the con
vention. and to see him shunning them.
There was much comment as to what
ought to be done. Some thought he ought
to be heard in his own defense. Some
Others even went so far as to say a com
mittee ought to be appointed to escort
him to the train and ask him to depart
for Cuba.
Saturday afternoon Rev. J. A, Lee. of
Louisiana. Introduced a resolution that
Dr. Dtas should be allowed to speak be
fore the convention.
He said be did not want it to go out
that the Southern Baptist convention had
charged a man with wrong doing and
bad tailed to allow his own defence.
The resolution was referred to a com
mittee of one from each state as follows:
William E. Hatcher. F. T. Henderson.
H. C. Buckner. W. H. Felix. J. H. Kil
patrick. X T. W. Johnson. C. L. Davis.
C W. Daniel. W. C. Tyree. R. A. Cock
pan. C. C. Brown. C. A, Stakely. J. A.
Lee. E B. Pollard and W. A. Hobson.
They were to decide whether or not Dtas
should be allowed to speak in his own de
fense.
When Dr. Dias was seen yesterday he
talked freely of the affair.
• He sai« ths mortgage was given in
gpaniah money, ten per cent less than
American money. The theatre was pur
chased in >the name of Dr. Tlchenor to
conform with the Cuban taw. When the
buildings were bought they were needed,
ons as a hospital and the other as a
Church It was necessary to conform to
the taw to have the title In the name of
an individual, and Dr. Dtas. having the
power of attorney from the home board,
took the deeds In his own name. This was
before the war. When the war was over
the law was changed and Diaz Immediate
ly had the titles made to the home
board. The ebortage was due largely to
the difference in Cuban and American
money
Dr. Dtas said further that the cemetery
was bought from collections taken In
ever church expenses, and with money
given by Northern Baptists. It was

FORGOTTEN BY ONE WOMAN.
It Wii An Eventful Day In the Life of
Mrs. Fletcher —She Telle the Inter
esting-Story of Her Experience.

December. 1897. as long as I live." said
Mrs. H. A. Flechter. of No. 232 West
Hancock street Manchester, N. H„ to a
reporter recently.
“For on that day.” she continued, "I
received a shock of an apoplectic char
ter. It was so severe that the sight of
my right eye was affected, causing me to
see objects double. I was confined to
my bed about four weeks at one time be
ing told by the doctor that I could pot
get well. When I could leave my bed I
was tn such a nervous state that 1, could
not sleep at night. L would get up and
sit on a ehair until completely tired out
and then go back to bed and sleep from
exhaustion." . , ,
“Nothing seemed to help you?*" ventured
the reporter.
“Nothing that the doctor gave me did
much good.” she replied. “After being
under his care for six weeks and not see
ing any improvement, I gave up hope un
til my sister. Mrs. Loveland, of Everett,
persuaded ma to try Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. I began taking
them with the result that I experienced
relief the second day. The first night af
ter taking the pills I lay awake oply a
short time and the second night I rested
well. From that time I slept well every
night and soon got well and strong.
""I have recommended Pink Pills for
Pale People /to many people. My nleca
has taken them for weak nerves and poor
blood and found them very beneficial.”
In order that there could be no doubt
as to the genulnenesa of her statement
Mrs. Fletcher msde affidavit to it before
William W. Forbes, a notary public, at
Manchester on July 25. 1901.
Dr. Williams* Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple will not only effect a cure In cases
similar to the one above but. acting di
rectly on the blood and nerves, are an un

cents, by addressing Dr. Williams Medi

bought in his name. The debt of 312.000
on tha cemetery was simply a-, compli
ment to him by the church. He says he
has never received any money, nor will
he ever receive any.
The committee waited ou Dr. Diaz, but
be said he had nothing to say to them.
The committee reported that since Dr.
Diax had severred all connection with the
home board it was deemed unwise to hear
from him. The report was unanimously
adopted.
Special prayer was made for Dr. J. L.
White, of Macon, who was reported to
be worse yesterday.

COLUMBUS. Ga.. May 13,-Capt. Wiley
Williams Is home again from a trip
through South Georgia campaigning. He
is very much encouraged over his race,

feels very confident of winning the fight.
Captain Williams Is not a man to let

politician and one of the smoothest hust

sheriff's convention of the state for so
many years has made him friends in their

DARING AERONAUT MEETS A
FRIGHTFUL FATE, WITH AS
SISTANT, IN AN AIRSHIP IN
PARIS.
PARIS. May 12.—The death of Senhor
Severo, the Brazilian aeronaut, who, with
an assistant, was killed this morning by
the explosion of his airship LaPaix, in
which he was making a trial trip, created
terrible consternation. • .
Senhor Severo had invited a number of
friends to witness the ascension and his
wife and a number of relatives were fol
lowing the course of the Walloon in motor
cars. . , ■ •
Suddenly the spectators were horrified
by a bright flash of light, followed by a
loud explosion. The balloon which at this
time was 1,500 feet above the ground, fell
rapidly, landing on the roof of a house.
The aeronaut fell into the avenue Du
Marne and was dashed to pieces. The
bones of his legs were forced through the
soles of bis boots.
The engineer, who accompanied him,
was burned to death.
The accident is said to have been caused
by a leakage of gas.
Senhor Severo started with the inten
tion of sailing to the military parade
ground at Issy, and a large number of his
relatives and friends were proceeding in
the direction of that village, five miles
southwest of Paris.
With an engineer, named Sachet, Severo
sailed out of his balloon house near the
boulevard de Vaugirard at 5:30 a. m., In
excellent spirits and full of confidence.
The aeronaut put his airship through a se
ries of evolutions, before starting in the
direction of Issy.
There seemed to be some hitch with the
steering gear, and the rear propelling
screw turned with difficulty. Nevertheless,
after several stoppages, the airship sailed
off. moving steadily enough through a
light breeze. Suddenly a puff of wind
caught the shjp and whirled’ it over the
Avenue du Marne.
The ship turned completely around and
veered about in a fashion showing .that
control of her Jiad been lost.
Then from the center of the outer en
velope a tongue of flame darted out. This
was followed by a loud report, resembling
a cannon shot and the ship sank like
stone, falling on the roof of a house,
thence into some trees and finally reaching
the avenue Du Marine,alnyist on top of its
occupants who had previously been pre
cipitated to the stone pavement.
The fearfully mangled corpses of Seve
ro and Sachet were conveyed to a neigh
boring police station. The bodies pre
sented a horrible spectacle and especially
of Sachet.
The flame which caused the explosion
burned the engineer in a most shocking
manner.
Practically not a bone of either victim
was left unfractured and both skulls were
terribly crushed.

PREACHER INPDLPIT
SAYS “VOTE EBB
GUM"
“IT IS MORE RELIGIOUS TO VOTE
FOR GUERRY THAN TO ATTEND
PRAYER MEETING,” SAYS
REV. WALKER LEWIS.
MACON, May 13.—Rev. W’alker Lewis,
presiding elder, for this district of the
Methodist church filled the pulpit at Mul
berry Street Methodist church Sunday,
and the pastor. Rev.' W. N. Ainsworth,
preached in Dr. J. L. White’s pulpit at
the First Baptist church. Dr. White is
critically ill, and it is feared he has an
abscess forming on the brain.
Dr. Lewis' sermon at Mulberry was pro
nounced a very able one, being from the
text, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be aaved, and thy house.”
After discussing this for some time, Mr.
Lewis turned his attention to politics. He
spoke of the gubernatorial race. • It hdd
been announced some time ago that he
had offered his services to the Guerry
campaign committee, and on Saturday he
went to the headqu4 rters here and stated
that he was ready to give a week’s work
in the upper section of Middle Georgia
during the last week in May- This was
arranged, but Dr. Lewis could not wait.
He fired one gun yesterday, and it was a
broadside. He started in with this decla
ration: I 4 ,
“It is sometimes righteous for a preach
er to 'turn his pulpit into a stump.”
He followed this with:
“It Is more religious to go to the ballot
box on June sth and put in a clean white
ballot for Dupont Guerry than it is to at
tend a prayer meeting.” ■$
He then proceeded to show why he
thought the opposition to Mr. Guerry is
the incarnation of evil. He said that the
Methodists and Baptists of Georgia have
for years been issuing “whereases” and
“be it resolved” about the liquor evils,
but it Is time for them to prove their sin
cerity by voting for the man who stands
against those evils.
He said he might be criticised for his
declarations, but he stood alone and per
sonally responsible for each and every
one of his utterances, and intimated that
he was just beginning his work.
TERRELL AND NESBiT -
SPEAK AT ARLINGTON
ARLINGTON, Ga., May 13 —By appoint
ment the Hon. Joe Terrell addressed
about 300 people here Saturday. He was
introduced by Hon. J. L. Boynton and
spoke for two hours in the alliance ware
house, and owing to the heat and puffing
of the trains so near, he labored hard
but managed to keep the attention of the
crowd. This is an appreciative little
town when it comes to good speaking and
the majority of the citizens are going to
insist that the Hon. Dupont Guerry drop
by and give them a sample of his way
of thinking. At the close of Terrell’s
speech he invited the crowd up to his in
augural, of which he seems to be sure.
Following Mr. Terrell Judge Buck in
troduced R. T. Nesbit, candidate for com
missioner of agriculture, who gave them a
short and interesting talk sustaining It
with facts and figures which seemed to
Impress the crowd very much.

GEORGIA MAN DIES IN
FAR OFF PHILIPPINES
David B. Clancy, of Georgia,.a member
of the Twenty-ninth infantry and later
the ■ holder of a government position in
Manila, was recently buried from the
Episcopal chapel in that city, the Manila
Times commenting upbn the young man
as follows:
“The funeral of David B. Clancy, sales
clerk tn the department of land transpor
tation,* took place Sunday afternoon in
the-Episcopal chapel o’clock.
“Mr. Clancy had only been sick a short
time, and his death was a shock to his
friends and his old regiment, who are
now in the city,, and to those who came
in daily contact with him in the office.
“His casket was draped with the Amer
ican flag and covered with flowers. The
Episcopal burial service was read by
Chaplain Walkely,’ the chapel being filled
with his old friends and comrades. His
friends met in the morning and named
his pallbearers who were as follows: C.
L. Chailebois, C. A. Thorpe, J. B. Hyames,
Thornton Talifaneo, W. G. Emmett and
George Angus.
“His body was followed to the grave
by Cgptain Butt and office force and oth
ers who had gathered at the chapel to pay
him this honor. Mr. Clancy was a native
of Georgia, and enlisted in the Twenty
nlntV regiment and served during the
campaign of that regiment in the Philip
pines.”
MACONSCHOOLSTO HAVE .
MANUAL TRAINING
MACON. May 13.—The board of educa
tion last night decided to give manual
training next term In every branch of the
public schools, beginning with the high
school and going on through the gram
mar schools. All of the details for the
training have not yet been worked out. but
the plan is one on which Superintendent
Pond has been.at work ever since he took
charge of the public school system. The
board agreed that it would require one
thousand dollars less to run the schools
next year than was required this year.
All debts were paid this year, and there
is nothing now to hamper the board tn
conducting the schools.
SPANISH PALACE IS
RESERVED FOR
DR. CURRY
SPECIAL ENVOY TO SPANISH COR-
ONATION WILL BE TREATED
AS ONE OF THE ROYAL
FAMILY.
An interestins letter was received in At
lanta Monday from Dr. J. L. M. Cur
ry, special envoy of the United States to
the coronation of King Alfonso of Spain. ,
which will occur a few days hence.
This appointment has been very highly (
commended, because Dr. Curry is dis
tinguished as one of the ablest and most
accomplished diplomats in the United
States, and is especially apt by reason of
the fact that he was United States min
ister to Spain when the youth who is
about to be crowned king of Spain was
born.
In his letter Dr. Curry states that he had
just received a cablegram from Madrid
announcing that a furnished palace had
been retained for him and his family and
that he would be the guest of the govern
ment during his stay at the Spanish capi- |
tai. He was informed further that the j
queen regent had ordered a royal coach to
be set apart for the use of the American
envoy, an honor that is rarely bestowed
upon any one but a royal personage.
It is evident that Dr. Curry will be per
sona grata at the Spanish court. He is
attended by his wife and daughter, and
they will undoubtedly have a delightful
stay in Madrid.. •
