AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY RE
PORTS ON RELIGIOUS SITUA
TION IN THE PHILIPPINE IS
LANDS.
NEW TORE. May 36—The American
Bible society has received from its agent
is the Philippine*. Rev. Jay C. Goodrich,
hie annual report on the situation In the
islands, inclusive of the circulation of the
S bible. Ha says:
"It was no child's task that confronted
either th* civil or military authorities
hare. When the Spanish government offi
cials withdrew, those who had shaped af
fairs remained behind. Shaken loose by*
the revolution still this system clung, and
tnust be considered, conciliated and dealt (
with before those who have suffered
much and protested long can be benefit
ed. Careful diplomacy has been neces
sary to bring about anything like order.
Negotiations for the settlement of the
land question have been carried forward
over slumbering volcanoes of disappointed
hatred.
The educational department, which has
startled the world by the boldness and
Magnitude of its plan, is tackling its
t -problem with enthusiasm.
The missionary forces have been greatly
augmented. The Baptists and Presbyte
rian* on the island of Pansy are reaching
many of the rural people at the market
places, where they congregate from miles
tn the interior and are greatly interested
in the teaching of the bible. Dr. Hall
has a hospital at IleUo. and is proving
that medical missions are profitable in
spiritual results. At Dumaguete the Stil
lman Institute, under the direction of Rev.
Mr. Hubbard, is well established with a
growing attendance.
The United Brethren church have estab
lished work at Vigan. on the northern
part of the island of Luzon. with head
quarters at Manila.
The Disciple church has two represen
tatives in Manila, where English work is
under way. Work among the Filipinos
wMI begin shortly.
The Methodist Episcopal church has
opened work in Hagonoy, Bulacan prov
ince. in San Femandtno, Pampanga prov
ince. and Tarlac province, all on
._e island of Luzon.
A union of the protestant churches in
the archipelago was effected for the pur
pose of utilizing the missionary forces to
the best and greatest advantage by the
division of the field and the open discus
sion of all questions of common interest.
"The evangelical union of, the Philippine
islands." was chosen as the name and a
committee was appointed which succeed
ed in effecting a division of the field, so
that for at least three years there shall
be practically no overlapping of the dif
ferent missions. Provision was made for
an executive committee to which shall be
referred any question of comity which
might arise. At the first annual conven
tion of this organization reports from ths
entire field were heard and vital ques
tions affecting the whole field discussed.
While the Filipino church has not the
unity and freedom from sectarianism
hoped for. and there seems to be little
prospect of interdenominational sehools
and literature, very much has been accom
plished by this union of forces, and it is
hoped that with the growth of the mis
sions there will be on this field the work
ing out in practical shape of all the grow
ing world wide feeling for the unity and
harmony of Christ's church.
Outside of the people tn Manila and its
environs, there are none who are so ripe
for the use of the bible and who receive
it so eagerly as do the people of Pampan
ga province.
We are in receipt of the first gospel to
be translated into the language of the
Cebuan group of the V Isay an islands.
Chaplain John A. Randolph of the Uni
ted States army, with the assistance of
competent native helpers, has, with the
utmost care, translated and thoroughly
revised this important manuscript, which
has been presented to the society without
cost by the chaplain, and dedicated to the
north Mississippi conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, south.
Printing for the bible society has been
done in Japan. The total number of vol
umes published is 71.000; the total num
ber of pages is 5.270.006.
Last year we reported the sale and gift
of 10.873 copies. This year the total circu
lation is 5X703, and the total direct circu
lation is <0,077 copies.
The sales in the Manila depository have
been 4.238 copies. When we consider the
bitter opposition, the unsettled condition
of the country, making it dangerous in
the extreme to venture into the Interior
without an escort; the great lack of roads
and facilities for travel, and the number
of men employed, the work accomplished
is certainly marvelous.

AN EVENTFUL DAY |
HOW HAPPINESS CAME INTO A
CLOUDED LIFE.
After Months and Years of Suffering,
This Woman is Now Able To Tell
An Interesting Story.
"It was an eventful day for me.’ said
Mrs. Mamie McLean, of No. 306 E. Con
gress street. Detroit. Mich. "I looked into
the future and saw health and happiness
in store for me.
"I had had a gloomy, life. " she contin
ued. "My entire girlhood was saddened by
ill health, the result of a cold contracted
at a critical time in my thirteenth year.
Months and years of suffering followed
and doctors did not help me. My blood
had turned to water and the natural
functions of my s«*x had ceased. A noted
specialist in the diseases of women who
was treating me said my case was hope
less. and that I could not live njore than
a few years at the most.
"I was so weak that I could not walk
across the room. I had not the slightest
appetite, my feet and hands were always
cold and I was miserable and unhappy.
I wasted away to a mere shadow; I look
ed frightful, and no medicine that/1 took
did me any good. I tried to be resigned
to my fate, but it was hard.
“Then came the eventful day... An old
friend of our family came in and told me
so confidently that Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People would cure me that
I began to hope and life looked brighter.
I started taking the pills, and I soon
could see that tney were doing me good.
My flesh began to feel warm, my color to
come back and I felt stronger. Improve
ment was gradual but sure. I continued
faithfully with the medicine and soon
my functions became normal and health
came back. My friends thought my .re
covery was almost a miracle, and the
physicians who had given me up for death
were forced to admit that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills had done what they could not
io.
"I am now. as you can see, a sound,
healthy woman. I cannot express my
gratitude, but can only say that I owe
•ny life to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People.”
No discovery of modern times has
proved such a blessing to women as Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Act
ing directly on the blood and nerves, in
vigorating the body, regulating the
functions, they restore the strength and
health in the exhausted patient when ev
ery effort of the physician proves una
vailing. These pills are sold In boxes ati
56 cents a box or six boxes for $2.56, and
may be had at all druggists, or direct by
mall from Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,

PEOPLEDESERT
DOOMED ISLE
IN HASTE
EXODUS IS STILL BEING MADE
FROM MARTINIQUE AND IS
LANDS IN VICINITY OF MONT
PELEE’S CRATER.
FORT DE FRANCE, Island of Marti
nique, Sunday, May 25, 6 p. m.—The Uni
ted States crusier Cincinnati arrived here
from St. Lucia yesterday. The steamer
Luckenbach arrived this morning and left
at 'once for Porto Rico.
The steamer Fontabelle reached here at
9 o'clock this morning with 150 tons of
supplies from the chamber of commerce
of New York and other citizens. Among
her passengers are W. H. Corwlne. who
was specially named by President Roose
velt as secretary of the various bodies
in the United States contributing for the
relief of the sufferers; Prof. Angelo Heil
prln and other scientists. Mr. Corwlne
and Captain Scott, brother of Chief offi
cer Scott of the Roraima, were presented
to Governor L'Huerre and the French del
egates today. The steamer Toppaze has
been placed at the disposal of Mr. Cor
wir.e to visit St. Vincent. Her cargo will
be discharged Monday.
Mont Pelee was fairly yesterday,
although there was a big eruption of
ashes, which covered the extreme north
of the island. The new crater is actiye.
Most of the refugees who have come
into Fort de France have deserted the
town for points further south, as
still possesses all souls and Fort de France
is believed to be doomed.
AU business is suspended as the amount
of supplies received has killed sales.
The French delegates. Admiral Sei'van.
and the citzens are unanimous In expres
sions of gratitude for the genuine friend
ship of the American people,' which has
been manifested by the swiftness with
which great quantities of suplies' have
been furnished and forwarded and the
character of the delegates in charge of
them. .. p.J, 1
Fort de France looks desertetd. Nearly
2.000 persons have gone to the island of
Guadeloupe, Dominica and St. Lucia, and
as many more are trying to get. away.
The simple object of all minds is to es
cape from the island.
The scientists are divided In opinion as
to whether or not new and more violent
outbursts are to be expected. A majority
of them think volcanic energy will be dis
played for a long time, but that no fur
ther loss of life will occur, as there are
no large places left to be destroyed and
fort de France, they say. Is absolutely
safe from any possible outburst of Mont
Pelee.
THE RUINS OF ST. PIERRE
ARE LEVELLED INTO ASHES
NEW YORK, May 26.—The sloop Daunt
less, which, under command of Captain
Lake, carried supplies jfrovided by the
government of this -island for the suffer
ers tn Martinique, has returned here, says
a Herald dispatch from St. Kitts, B. W. I.
The crew of the Dauntless became
frightened on the voyage, refused to go on
and deserted the sloop at Dominica. This
delayed the relief expedition, but the
Dauntless obtained a new crew at Domin
ica and finally went on to her destination.
On the passage southward, Captain Lake
says, Mont Pelee was seen blazing grand
ly at intervals of about a quarter of an
hour. Its eruptions were accompanied by
awful sounds, resembling deep thunder.
Pebbles and volcanic debris rained con
stantly upon the deck of ths Dauntless.
When the Dauntless passed St. Pierre
on the voyage northward the city’s ruins
were burning fiercely, but the volcano was
quiescent.
This island has been swept by fearful
thunderstorms.
LIGHT FROM MONT PELEE
WAS VISIBLE SIXTY MILES
NEW YORK, May 26.—Another steam
ship, the 'Coya, which passed through
clouds of volcanic dust from Mont Pelee,
has arrived in port. One of the officers
said:
“Fifty miles from St. Lucia and right
south ol Barbadoes we passed on the ev
ening of the Bth a large dead whale,
around which hundreds of Mother Carey's
chickens were hovering. The whale was
70 feet long.
"The Coya was one hour in passing
through the wreckage and smoke off St.
Pierre, but the flashes of fire could be
seen distinctly when we were sixty miles
away.”
WORSE THAN POMPEII, j
SAYS FAMOUS EXPERT
NEW YORK, May 26.-A. O. Hoover, of
the American Museum of Natural History,
who went to Martinique on the cruller'
Dixie, to examine the volcanic phenomena,
cables The Herald from Castries, St. Lu
cia:
"St. Pierre can only be compared to.
Pompeii. The devastation and desolation
are even worse.
“It is evident that a tornado of suffo
cating gas wrecked the buildings, asphyxi
ated the people, fire then completing the
ruin. This accords with the> statement
which has been made that asphyxiation
of the’ inhabitants preceded the burning
of the city, the gas being sulphuretted
hydrogen, ignited by lightning or Ma ficoe
in the city. The same tornado drove toe
ships in the roadstead tc thp bottom ’of
the sea or burned them before they could
escape. This comes nearer to being a
sheet of flames than anything Heretofore
reported from any volcano. ,
"Mud was formed in two ways—by the
mixture in the atmosphere of dust and
condensed steam and by cloud bursts on
the upper dust covered slopes of the cone
washing down vast quantities of fine, light
dust. . .
"No flow of lava has apparently attend
ed the eruption as yet.
"The great emission of suffocating gas
and the typical cloudburst explosion, with
the resulting streams of mud, are among
the new features which Pelee has added
to the scientific knowledge of vftlcanoes.”
STRIKE HAS FAILED
IN AUGUSTA MILLS
AUGUSTA, Ga., May 26.—A1l mills in
the Augusta district started this morning
and with the exception of the King mill,
every mill has full complement of hands.
The King mill has only 460, but hopes
to get many more during the day. All the
King mill houses occupied by operatives
refusing to work must be vacated by
night. This order will force many strik
ers in. or make them homeless.
An increase of 11-2 per cent instead of
10 per cent has been granted in some de
partments of the King mill.
JONES ’cOUNTYWILL”
HAVE A BIG FAIR
MACON, Ga.. May 26.—Mr. John T. Wil
liams, of Jones county, says his people
have arranged for another big county fair
next fall. They cleare- 70 per cent on
their last undertaking, and this time they
propose to organize a stock company and
run the thing on a still bigger plan, He
gays that some big peach growers have
recently purchased a big body of land at
Bound Oak and the prospect. In his opin
ion, is that Jones will soon rank with
Houston as a peach growing county.

LYNCHING AT
NHITJJimG
MOB HAD ROPE AROUND NEGRO’S
NECK WHEN HE WAS RES
CUED BY A DEPUTY
SHERIFF.
CARROLLTON Ga., May 27.—Shortly
after .6 o’clock Sd'hirday evening the fol
lowing telegram to the ahqriff hare:
"Riot here. Come at once and bring the
posse. : vj ». Mi D. WATKINS.
/ »'> ' ■ < "Mayor.”
The message was from the mayor of
Whitesburg in the southeastern .part of
this county, twelve miles away, on the
Central of Georgia railway.
Sheriff MerreN, who has been confined
to his room two months with rheuma
tism, immediately sent Deputy J. P.
Webb, who was accompanied by Col. C.
P. Gordon, Messrs. Joe Lambert, J. H.
Lacy, Hardy Butler. These went in
buggieKand some fifty armed citizens fol
lowed on a through freight train that ar
rived ten minutes behind the deputy, who
had already* arrested one netfrd. The posse
started in search for other rioters and
arrested four others in the house of Gabe
Fisher, a bad negro, who was found to be
shot through the shoulder. -
The cause of the alarm sent by the
mayor is said to be that the negro Gabe
Fisher was disorderly on the streets of
Whitesburg and the authorities deputized
Mr. Jack Kidd, a- middle-aged citizen of
the place, to arrest the negro. On ap
proaching hini he resisted. Kidd left him
and secured a Calt's revolver and began
a second attempt to arrest the negro. The
negro is said -to have attacked Kidd,
knocking him down. A white man >pulled
him off of Kidd and as Kidd rose he shot
the negro, inflicting a flesh W’ound in the
top of the. shoulder. At this the negro
sprang at Kidd again, feuing him, and in
so doing carved a severe and alarming
gash five and a half inches long under
kida s left arm. Another report Is that
the negro, drew a knife on Kidd when he
made his second attempt to take (him in
custody and that Kiud thereupon shot
him in the shoulder and the negro stabbed
Kidd under the arm. The wound receiv
ed by Kidd was deep and surgeons could
plainly see pulsations of a vital artery in
the bottom of the fnclsloo, which slightly
marked the membrane encasing that vital
organ.
The negroes arrested were Gabe Fisher,
Kidd's assailant,, and his. brother. Julius
Fisher, a son of Julius Fisher, 12 years
old, Wess McKissack and Green Battle,
all young negroes.
One of these, Julius Fisher, enraged at
the row his brother was in, sent the 12-
year-old boy to their home after an ad
ditional pistol and with two pistols flour
ishing and threatening .epithets made the
homes of W.hHesburg people hideous. In
front of the home of Dr. W. F, Fridell,
of that place, hts cursing had the effect of
prostrating Mrs. Fridell and her condition
from the nervous shock was serious when
the posse arrived *tkere an hour and three
quarters after the occurrence. :
On the arrival of the train which poured
fifty or more Carrollton. people into the
streets of Whitesburg, some one suggest
ed a rope for this insolent negro. Juljus
Neeley, and shortly after he was taken
captive by this crowd he was being led
by a rope around his neck. Deputy Sheriff
j. p. Webb had his hands full with so
many prisoners, but learning of the form
ing mob, he hastened to the scene just
as he was.about to be strung up to a limb,
and in a cool way took prisoner from
the mob just ip time to. save him at least
a very exciting experience, if not a final
settlement.

POLITiCSiIiiGUSTJ
ARE NOW RED HOI
r |
' ■
SHARP TRICKS ARE PRACTICED
AND MORE ARE EXPECTED,
CLOSE CONTESTS ARE
BEING WAGED.
AUGUSTA, Ga., May 26.—Politick in
this county have reached the red hot
stage with the closing of the registry lists.
The number of white voters registered, af
ter the list shall have been purged, will
be something over 4,000, and a little larger
than any previous white list. The candi
dates for county officers are each getting
their workers lined up, and making ar
rangements to catch the floating vote.
Already one side has got ahead of the
executive committee, which fixed the. rules,
as they thought, to prevent the establish
ment of election day headquarters in close
proximity to a voting place. No sooner
had a vacant store been selected in the
fourth w’ard as the voting place than ar
rangements were made by the friends of
one candidate to give them possession of
the adjoining store, whieh will be used
.by them as headquarters.' This will give
them an immense advantage in controlling
the floating vote. This sharp trick has set
the pace for tho other candidates, and
a|l hands are hustling.
Or the outcome of rhe race no one can
have more than a hope. It is certain that
the various races will all be very close
where there is opposition, except the race
for coroner, to which office Mr. Robert
May will almost surely be re-elected over
both his opponents, Messrs. Bracy and
Douglas. For clerk of the court it is pro
bable that the present incumbent, Mr. W. |
E. Keerjer will be re-elected., but'the race
for sheriff is very close; Captain O’Con
ner, the present incumbent, defeated Mr.
Clark, who is opposing him again, by a
very small majority two years ago, and
the friends of Mr. Clark claim that he is
stronger now. There is no opposition to
the other county officers.
Hon. T. J. Sullivan, the present senator
from this district, will be re-elected with
out any opposition.
In the congressional race Mr. Fleming
appears to nave the advantage.

PAINE’S CELERY
COMPOUND
Is Daily Saving Precious
Lives After Pronounced
Failures of Physicians.
The months just passed of the present
year have brought bereavement and dark
Clouds of sorrow to many homes in our
land. Fathers, mothers, sisters, and broth
ers have been forever removed by the
grim reaper, death. The large majority of
such could have been- saved had their
friends given them Paine's Celery Com
pound, Instead of the worthless medicines
the sick ones were forced to swallow.
In many families a too slavish obedience
to medical dictation kept the true life
saver from the sick and dying ones. Past
records of marvelous cures and victories
wrought by Paine's Celery Compound
were ignored by medical men; in a word,
it was unprofessional in their estima
tion to introduce the life giving Com
pound.
Ah'. Remorse now doing its quiet but
effective work, and, those most closely
*re suffering for their neglect.
• Will you, dear reader, allow some dear
relative or fridrtd to pass from life with
out making an effort to save the perishing
one by Paine's Celery Compound? The
virtues and powers of Dr. Phelps’ pre
scription are wondrously far reaching and
mighty,l Evap (though ypur friends have
suffered long, and have come to that
point where the physician is helpless to
save, even then, there Is a blessed hope If
Paine's Celery Compound is used.
The desperate cases cured in the past
and the number of precious lives saved, is
the bright, ths living proof, that Paine's
c'r.y+rv Compound makes sick pecole well.

FOR ANTITRUST MANAGER
NEW ORLEANS, May 27,-The light be
ing made against the local ice trust has
developed an extraordinary\ turn. The
trust has some opposition, among which
Is the ice .plant at Thibodeaux, a small
town near by, which has been shipping ice
to this city and selling it at $4 per ton.
whereas the trust sells Ice here at $6 per
ton.
’ The trust concluded to run the Thibo
deaux plant out of business and- has been
shipping ice to Thibodeaux and selling it
there delivered at 10c per hundred, or $3
per ton.
It now develops that Manager Clhudet,
of the Thibodeaux ice plant, has been
quietly buying up all the trust’s produet
at Thibodeaux at $2 per ton and re-ship
ping it back to New Crleans and selling
it again on the trust’s own territory at
$4 per ton, twice what the trust is getting
for its product in Thibodeaux and $2 per
ton less than the trust gets its ice hero in
New Orleans. •
