DR. MENS DINS FIRM Mill NEWS
Has Received Urgent Call
From Kentucky Congre
gation and is Consul'
ering Acceptance.
Rev. Millard A. Jenkens, D. D., pas-
tor of the First Baptist church, has
been called to the pastorate of the
First Baptist church of Owensboro,
Ky., but has not yet decided If he
will accept. At a meeting of the
board of deacons on last Sunday
morning, Dr. Jenkens told them of
the call, and at their request said ho
would hold the matter In abeyance
until he returns the latter part of
next week from Knoxville, Tonn.,
where he has gone to assist the
Deaderlck avenue Baptist Church, the
largest church In Knoxville, In a se
ries of meetings. The announcement
does not come as a complete surprise,
ns the Kentucky Baptists have been
working for Ills retnm to that state
ever since he left them over two
years ago to come to this field. The
church here would feel his loss keen-
ly should he decide to go, for the two
years of hts pastorate here have In
many respects been the most wonder,
tal In the history of the church. Dur
ing the two years, 336 members have
been received, and $29,134.69 have
been contributed. Of the amount con
tributed $17,059.02 was for missions,
benevolences, and denominational ed-
ucatlon.
Following the announcemet of the
call to Ketucky special meetings have
been held by the Men’s League and
the ladles of the church for prayer
and discussion of ways and means of
keeping Dr. Jenkens In Athens.
The church at Ownesboro, Ky., to
which Dr. Jenkens has been called, Is
one of the largest In that part of the
country. It has a membership of
over 1,400 and a record of a great
work done under Its last pastor, Dr.
L. B. Warren, a personal friend of
Dr. Jenkens.
Dr. Jenkens' going would be a
great loss not only to the Bapltsts of
this city, but to the whole town, for
he has endeared himself to all church
people alike by his earnest Christian
manliness, and unswerving devotion
to the truth as he sees It, and few
other preachers command as great a
hearing of the non-church members
as well.

Secures Splendid Contract
in Competition With the
Iliggest Concerns in
Tthe Country.
».
It wW be of Interest- to know that
the Miller Furniture Compauy has
during the prat, few days secured
three very good contracts for furni
ture. The general manager, Mr. C.
Miller, informs us that they have Just
closed a contract for the complete
furnishing for the Elks' Home, at
Brunswick, and also for the complete
/urnlsning for a large summer resort
Rt St. Simons Island. These contracts
amounting to $7,000, were handled
through the Brunswick branch of the
Miller Furniture Co.
They have also, through the Ath
ens branch, secured a large contract,
for a handsome hotel that is being
erected in Florida.
It is gratifying to know that this
furniture firm located In vAthens has
swured these contract* In competi
tion with the‘largest dealers in the
larger cities. The Miller Furniture
Company Is continually reaching out
for new business that would ordinari
ly go to other cities than Athens.
These gentlemen came here as
strangers but were highly recom
mended and they have shown to their
patrons that they have intended to
give Athens a complete home fur
nishers' establishment such as Is not
eclipsed In Atlanta or any other city.
Mr. Miller says that he has two mot
toes and Intends to work up to them
at all times: "A square deal,” and
"Pull for Athens.”
If all Athens firms would adopt like
mottoes Macon had better look out
or we will be landing th* s.ate Capi
tol for Athens.

ANNIVERSTRY OF

Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 25—The fact
that today was the centennial anniver
sary of the birth of James E. Murdoc^
was recalled t>v the Inmates of tho
Foirest Home fo- Aged Actors, some
of whom were personal friends and
professional associates of the great

the last ot the celebrated actors of
the old school, of which Forrest, Mac-
ready and the elder Booth were the
chief exponents was born In Phila
delphia, Jan. 25, 1811, and much ot his

tified wjth this city. It was on the
stage of the old Arch Street Theater,
In 1839, that he made his first appear
ance behind the footlights, and later

erous successful tours of the United

Georgia Insurance Facts.
Atlanta, Jan. 25.—In connection
with the tact, which recent statistics
hare established, that Georgia heads
the entire south, in the amount of
life insurance she entries in propor
tion to her population, It will be of
interest to all who are Interested in
the state’s financial and material ad
vancement to know that more and
more ot "the premium money for this
heavy Insurance Is being kept at
home,—for Insurance is an invest
ment—with reputable companies In
the south than to be sent north and
enst.
This change in Georgia is to a con
siderable extent brought about by
the fact that the strict Insurance laws
of Georgia assure safety, particular
ly when combined with the legal re
serve principle which has been adopt
ed by the chief southern companies.
For a long time statistics show that
Georgia, which stands tenth in popu
lation of nil states in the union
6tands eleventh in the amount of pie-
mltims pnld on life Insurance. Fur
ther figures show that the premiums
ore being paid in a larger and larger
degree to southern companies, thus
keeping the money at home. For In
stance the State Mutual Life Insur
ance Company, of Rome, of which C.
U. Porter Is president, which standi
first In size and rapidity of growth
among companies of Its class has
made wonderful strides. It Is an old
line, legal reserve company. Recent
figures show that $350,000,000 of new
life Insurance was written tn the
south during 1909. Of this 443 active
Southern companies wrote $81,000,000
and the State' Mutual wrote over 10
per cent of the entire amount written
by all southern companies.
The total premiums paid by south
ern people for life Insurance In 1909
amounted to $67,000,000 while the
total to southern companlea waa $8,-
750,000. Over 17 per cent of the lat
ter nmounj went ta the company
nbore named.

| People of United States Consume
Half Their Weight in Sugar Yearly
Washington, D. C., Jan. 25.—The
people or the United Stated consume
half their weight In sugar every year.
This may seem a startling statement,
but 'If we take the quantity of sugar
produced in th© United States and
add to this the quantity brought from
cur own Islands and the quantity Im
ported from foreign countries, and
subtract therefrom the amount ex
ported, we get a grand total of con
sldcrably more than 7 billion pounds
consumed in the country; and by
dividing the population into this
grand total, we get an average of
81 1-2 pounds per capita, speaking In
round terms, for 1910, and about a
iike quantity for 1909. It Is ty)t as
sumed, of course, that each person
necessarily consumes sugar to one-
hair his Individual weight; hut tak
ing the total consumption and com
paring It with the total population In
the section known as continental
United States, the average yearly
consumption of sugar Is found 5to be
about 81 1-2 pounds per capita.
tn fact, the people of the United
States arc larger consumers of sugar
per capita than those of any other
country of the world except England,
for which the latest figures show a
consumption averaging 86 pounds per
capita, against our own average of
81 1-2 opunds per capita. The next
largest per capita consumption Is In
Denmark, 77 3-4 pounds; followed by
Switzerland, 64 pounds; Sweeden,
54 pounds; and Germany and Holland
each about 43 1-2 pounds.
Not only Is the United States tho
second largest sugar consumer per
capita, but the total amount consum
ed annually is much greater than of
any other country, aggregating, as
above Indicated, more than 7 'billion
pounds per annum, against, about 4
billion pounds in England and about
3 billion pounds in Germay.
About one-half of the sugar con
sumed in the United States is brought
from foreign countries, about one
fourth from our own islands, and the
remaining one-fourth produced in this
country. The total production
sugar In the United States now
amounts to 1 3-4 billion pounds a
year, of which more than 1 billion
pounds Is beet sugar and about three-
quarters of a billion cane sugar. It Is
only recently that the production of
beet sugar in the United States has
come to exceed that of eano sugar,
tn 191)0 domestic production of cane
sugar was twice as great as that ot
beet sugar, and 20 years ago was
trore Ilian 60 times as great; but the
growth of beet sugar production has
been very rapid In recent years and
In 1997, for the first time, exceeded In
quantity that produced from cane and
has so continued since that time.
Of the sugar brought from other
countries, nearly all is made from
cane. While about half of the world's
sugar is made from beets, most of It
is produced In Europe and consumed
In the country ot production or In
other parts of that grand division,
while most of the world outside of
Europe obtains Its sugar supply from
cane, grown of course, in the tropical
and sub tropical sections. Of the cane
sugar which wc consume most ot that
coming from foreign countries Is
drawn from Cuba, the Dutch East In
dies, and smaller amounts from the
West Indies, Mexico and South Am
erica. All of that coming from our
own Islands—Porto Rico, Hawaii, and
the Philippines—Is cane sugar, while
of the domestic product about 40
per cent is produced from cane. The
beet sugar ot the United States Is
grown chiefly In Colorado,"California,
and Michigan, and some In Utah,
Idaho, and Wisconsin; while most of
the cane sugar is produced in Louis
iana. with smaller quantities In Tex
as, Florida, Georgia, and South Caro
lina.

Marriages Frequent as Lunacy Trials;
Duplicate Yesterday of Tuesday’s
Marriage* In the office of the ordi
nary of Clarke county are becoming
almost as frequent these days as lun
acy trials—and the county has made
a record of nearly two a month fqr
tho past'year "In' the latiSf“proceed
ings. Tuesday there was a rare af
fair In the matrimony line In the of
fice of Judgo Wingfield and the Ban
ner yesterday morning had a news
slory about Its salient features.
Yesterday there was an encore—
and different actors performed the
parts in the leading roles. Again a
dusky pair applied—both of them—
for a "pair o' licenses,” Both con
curred In the opinion that If a thing
Is worth doing at all It Is worth doing
right away and they were nnxjotis
that the ordinary should perform the
ceremony. The pair was remarkably
like the pair of the preceding.day In
many characteristics. The groom was
small and rather old; the bride was
large and fairer than her “financer,"
the name witnesses attended—the
courthouse officers and officials. The
signal was given for the customary
salutation ot the bride by the groom,
but oven the proffer of tho quarter
by the sheriff failed to persuade the
groom in this Instance to kiss his
newly-found before that courthouse
crowd.
No, Pauline, There Was No Wedding
On Prince or Hill—Rice was Plentiful
An acre of rice was sowed In the
heart of the most prominent residence
section of tho city of Athens yester
day. -Most of it fell on stony ground
and on the roadside. What It will re
sult In as to a crop can bo safely pre
dicted without referring It to the col
lege of agriculture. There wasn’t a
wedding, either, In that part of tho
city.
Citizens stepped out of their homes
yesterday morning to find their
porches, tiled walks, yards, the gran
olithic sidewalks, and even the street
pnvlug literally sowed down to rice.
There was not a space for two or
three blocks around the up-town Hro-
hall that even tho daintiest footed
bride could have placed her slipper
down and not trod ot grains of tho
food that made the Chinese thrifty.
A sack had tumbled off a wagon and
spilt wide open. The numerous small
boys lmd done the rest. Jn uniform
ity of sowing an expert broadcaster
couldn't have heat the neat Job dono

Through Hole in Floor Two Inches
Across Smoke Poured as From Spout
For the second time within two
months the new Athenaeum European
hotel had a narrow r scape from fire
at an early hour yesterday morning,
and only because the proprietor, of
the hotel, Mr. E. B. Parrish, was 111
nnd wakeful and smelled the smoke
was the building saved from serious
damage. Mr. Parrish had been laid
up for a day or two with rheumatism
and was wakeful. A!-out 4 o’clock he
smelled smoke and got up. He found
the office and a room next the office
filled with dense smoke. Entering
the room he found the smoke Issuing
from the floor. Eire In the cafe on
the ground floor had leaped up and
licked the celling. A hole not larger
than a quarter of a dollar was burn-
ed through the floor and the rug and
as through a spout the smoke was
pouring. The guests were quietly
awakened and notified that there was
fire In the building. There was no
panic and only one man who happen
ed to see tho fire from his window
overlooking the cafe extension below
became alarmed and slid down the
fire escape and fled through the resi
dence lot at the hack of tho hotel
block. The timely waking of Mr.
Parrish and his prompt work saved
tho building from serious damage and
possible casualties that can easily oc
cur In a hotel conflagration.
The cafe was not damaged to any
great extent. There the mystery of
the origin of the fire puzzled nil who
sow the place afier the department
had put out the blaze. An abraded
electric wire, mice, and other causes
are suggested. It did not seem possi
ble to have caught from the stove or
range In the kitchen.
