TOUR OF PARKHURST
Hirongli Southern States Is Re
viewed From His Pulpit.
REFERS TO CANDLER CRITICISM
Says Northerners Dislike Negroes
But Do Not Hake the Fact
Public Like Southerners.
The Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst
preached Sunday at the Madison
Square Presbyterian church, New
York city, on topics connected with
his receut trip south. He also made
an incidental reply to Governor Can
dler, who was reported as having de
nounced those northerners who took
•n interest in educational matters in
the south.
Dr. Parkhurst said *hat the party of
northern people who recently made
the trip referred to did it not decause
they had any special interest in the
south as a distinct section, but be
cause they were conscious of the nuity
which makes the north and south mem
bers of each other. The conference
held at Winston-Salem, in North Car
olina, he said, was characterized by
the utmost frankness on both sides,
and yet from first to Inst n<st an em
bittering word was spoken. Referring
to Governor Candler’s criticism, Dr.
Parkhurst said they would not have
been made “had the governor of Geor
gia, as did the governor of North Car
olina, come into di'ect touch with the
personnel of the conference, or for i
five minutes respired the atmosphere
which the conference exhaled.”
Beferring to the estimation in which ,
the people of the south and those of
the north hold the negro, Dr. Park
hurst said:
“The southerner does not like the
negro any better than the average
northerner does, and the two carry
themselves toward the negro witn
just about the same amount of Chris
tian consideration—only of the two
the southern white man has perhaps
this advantage, that he does not make
quite so flamboyant a pretense of lov
ing the negro as his northern confrere
does. The southern white man dis
likes the negro, and owns up to it.
The w hite man in the north dislikes
the negro and lies about it.”
The preacher said further :
“The indiscriminating act by which
the negroes had conferred upon them
the right to vote was one of those
blunders that it is not easy to escape
from after it is once committed, but
which it would seem we ought to have
had northern statesmanship sufficient
ly intelligent to prevent.
“The counsel that both the north
ern and southern friends of the negro
are now' giving him is to keep quiet
upon the whole suffrage matter, to
keep out of politics, not to talk about
tho constitution, not to insist upon his
rights, but to attend industriously to
the work of getting himself well
ready—which he is not now ready —
for what God and the country and the
futnre may have in store for him.”
Dr. Parkhurst closed by the follow
ing general reference to present condi
tions among southorn people:
“*he south does not altogether love
us, but no one there hates us nearly
as much as it would be perfectly nat
ural for them to hate ns. They are
all glad that slavery is done, they are
all glad that they are in the union.
They all glory in the flag, even while
in teudor bereavement they lay flow
ers upon the graves of the confederate
dead. We belong to them and they
belong to us, and every deed of kind
ness w isely reudered, every word of
sympathetic interest prudently spoken,
every new commercial relation and
every interchange cf hospitalities dis
creetly arranged will be so much con
tribution to that perfect readjustment
of relations w’hich shall make for the
enrichment of our c urnon history.”

BIT RGLAUS STEAL SAFE.
A V>rinff Daylight Kohbery F;flft*€td In a
Montana Town.
A most audacious robbery was com
mitted at Anaconda, Mont., Saturday
by two burglars, who secured SIO,OOO
in gold. The burglars entered the
Alaska saloon by forcing in the street
door. Bodily picking up a 300 pound
safe they loaded it onto an express
wagon. Driving outside the city limits
tht'y broke the safe open and secured
SIO,OOO in gold. Putting the brokeu
sate into the wagon they started the
horse toward town aud made good
their escape. There is no clue.

PRESIDENT REJOICES
I In United Country and Cement
ing of the Sections In
Brotherly Love.
The presidential party traveled
I through the heart of Dixie Tuesday,
and at 4:30 in the afternoon reached
Memphis, on tho bauks of the Missis
j sippi. Here the first resting place of
| the tour occurred.
The party received a wonderfully
impressive welcome. A committee,
headed by Senator Carmack, met the
train at Corinth and escorted the presi
dent from that point. A national
! salute of twenty-one guns fired from
| the bluff back of the town, signalled
j the approach to the city. At the station
I Governor McMillin and another com
mittee reinforced the greetings to the
| Par‘7-
A military parade with a com
pany of grizzled Confederate vet-
I erans in their old uniforms act
ing as the guard of honor, escort
!ed the party in carriages through
| the principal streets, aronnd the cua
i tom house, whence a view of the tna-
I jestic Mississippi, almost to the top of
its banks, was obtained, to Court
! square. The city was elaborately
decorated with flags and buntiug.
The cheering throng through which
; the procession passed was almost im
penetrable at points along the route.
In Conrt square, where the open air
reception occurred, the platform was
so hedged around with roses and other
blossoms as to make it resemble a
flower show. Over ten thousand peo
ple were packed into the square when
the president was introduced by Mayor
Williams.
In response to tbe tremendous
cheers which greeted him the presi
dent made the first uotable speech of
his trip. His theme was the resistless
power of a great united people and
was delivered in his best vein. When
he referred in closing to the noble
record of tho Tennessee volunteers in
the Spanish and Philippine wars Gov-
McMilliti led the cheering.
At Huntsville, Ala., a stop of ten
minutes was made. Apparently the
entire population of the town turned
out to welcome the party. Tho pres
ident was introduced by Judge Rich
ardson, General Wheeler's successor
iu congress, aud responded as follows:
“I very greatly appreciate aud re
turn to all of you my thanks for this
welcome so warm and so generous
upon tho part of the people, the mem
bers of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic aud the loyal legion of Confederate
veterans who speak their greetings to
us as they pass through their beauti
ful city. If I have been in any sense
the instrument in the hands of the
people to bring together the north and
the south, it is the highest distinction
that I could covet.
“I am glad to see the beys in gray
uniting in giving tho reception. Once
foes, now friends forever. (Great np
plause.) Once with hostile arms in
their hands, now with affection in
their hearts one for another aud both
united iu lovo aud loyalty for the flag
aud for the land we love. Wo are not
a military people. We are not dedi
cated to arms. We love peace, and
the United States never goes to war
except for peace, and only when it can
have it iu no other way. We have
never gone to war for conquest, for
exploitation or for territory, but al
ways for liberty aud humanity, and in
our recent war with Spain the people
of the w hole United States as oue man
marched with the flag for the honor of
the nation to relieve the oppressed
people in Cuba. The United States
has never acquired a foot of territory
that has uot been forever dedicated to
liberty.
“I feel almost like apologizing for
having taken from you General
Wheeler. (Great applause.) But my
compensation is found in the fact that
you have elected a distinguished suc
cessor to represent yon.” (Great ap
plause.)
Secretary Hitchcock, who was born
iu Mobile, was called upon. The sec
retary was plainly touched as he re
ferred to his early days iu Alabama
and the tender memories which clus
tered about his native state.
Mrs. McKinley was also called to
the platform and fairly deluged with
rosea aud wild flowers.
San Juan Wharf Burned.
The uew $150,000 pier at San Juan,

THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GA.
HOLDUP ON CENTRAL
Highwaymen Rob Express Car
Between Macon and Savannah.
MESSENGER TIED TO THE FLOOR
Bold Deed Was Daringly Execu
ted But Outlaws Secured Only
From S2OO to fjoo.
Express Agent J. N. White of At
lanta, whose run is on the Central of
Georgia railway between Atlanta and
Savannah, was the victim Friday morn
ing of one of the most daring express
robberies that has been committed in
Georgia in years.
The robbers, two white men, over
powered, blindfolded and bound tho
messeuger aud proceeded to rifle the
small safe, from which they secured,
according to the officials of the Atlanta
office, not more than S3OO and proba
bly not S2OO, They left behind
a package of SI,OOO in silver, which
was too heavy for them to lug off aud
make a successful escape.
The robbery occurred between 12
and 1 o’clock in the morning ou tho
train which left Atlanta the night be
fore at 9 o’clock, and which left Macon
a few minutes after midnight for Sa
vannah.
Just as the train was pulling out of
the Macon depot two white men ap
peared in the forward door of tho ex
press car, which for some reason was
unlocked, and oue of them stated that
they bad a letter for the messenger, at
the same time handing him an ad
dressed envelope.
As the letter was handed the mes
senger the two men pushed their way
through the door into the car when
Messenger White looked up from the
envelope he was gazing into the muz
zles of a couple of revolvers which
were in dangerous proximity to his
head.
By this time the train was pretty
well under headway, and even if it
had not been the messeuger could not
have called for help, threatened as he
was bj' two such ugly weapons.
While one of the robbers kept White
covered with his pistol the other pnt
an old sack over his bead and tied it,
completely and effectually blindfold
ing him. His bauds were then tied
behind his back, his feet were secure
ly bound and then he was tied to tbe
floor of the car, the cords being passed
through the woodeu grating which
covered the floor.
This was the condition in which the
express messenger was found when
the train reached Gordon, about twen
ty miles east of Macon and which was
the first stop made after leaving
Macon.
When released he told the story of
how he had been held up and bound
while the robbers went through the
way safe and rifled the money packages
it contained.
The robbers made an effort to get
into the through safe aud threatened
the life of Messeuger White if he did
not teli them how to open it Asa
matter of fact, however, he did not
know the combination of this safe aud
could not give it to them. The com
bination of this safe is known only to
officials in Atlanta, Macon aud Savan
nah, and it is opened only at these
points. Not being supplied with dy
namite, the robbers made no attempt
to get at the contents of the big safe,
but satisfied themselves with going
through the way safe.
An investigation of the case made
by the express and railroad officials in
Savannah shows that the train was go
ing tit a too rapid rate between Macou
and Gordon for any one to have
alighted from it with safety, and the
belief is that the robbers jumped out
as the train slowed up at Gordon and
made their way iuto the woods.
The mail clerk in the next car to
the express car heard Messenger
White’s call for help as soon as the
train stopped at Gordou aud went to
his relief.
Assassin Pays the Penalty.
Gns Jacobs was hanged in Darling

While fishing in the Savaunah river
near Elberton, Ga., Miss Rhoda Alex

negro workmsn, William Goolsby.
No help was near. Miss Alexander at
once returned home and reported the
matter to her widowed mother. About
that time the negro timelf appeared
and offered to work six months for
the widowed mother if she would not
tell ou him. Before he could leave
the premises some friends appeared,
took charge of the negro and left for
(he river. The culprit was lynched
and the body thrown into the river.

ALLLSED ROBBERS IN TOILS.
Two Men Are Held For Looting
Express Car on Central Rail
way-One Confesses.
O’Neill W. Chestnut is under arrest
in Macon, charged with being one of
the two men who boarded the express
ear on the Central train some days ago
and robbed Express Messenger White,
after seizing him at the point of a re
volver, tieing and binding him.
Chestnut has been positively identi
fied by Messenger \V r hite and has con
fessed to bis part in the robbery.
Chestnut’s partner in the robbery is
C. R Jordan, and Jordau was arrested
in Atlanta last Monday night on tel
egraphic advices sent by the Macou
police authorities and express officials.
Within fifteen hours after the rob
bery Chestnut was arrested in his bed
room at the Fdgerton house, in Ma
con, opposite the express office, by
Lieutenant Grace and Policemen Glenn
and Hicks. The arrest was a flue
piece of detective w r ork.
Although the -arrest was made on
last Friday night at 10 o’clock, tbe
police authorities kept the matter
quiet iu order that Jordau might be
captured.
In the office of the chief of police
Express Messenger White has posi
tively identified Chestnut in the pres
ence of the chief pf police and the
following officials of tbe Southern Ex
press company, who had gone to Ma
con to investigate the robbery: Divis
ion Superintendent Hulbert, cf At
lanta; Assistant General Manager
Mark O’Brien, of Chattanooga, and
Detective Paddy Byrne.
On Sunday afternoon Chestnut con
fessed the robbery to the chief of po
lice iu his office and on Sunday night
repeated it in tbe ebiet’s office in the
presence of the chief aud express offi
cials. Chestnut was very remorseful
and said ho deeply regretted having
cemmitted the robbery. He said
if be had not been suffering for the
want of bread and had not been drunk
at the time ho would never have done
the deed.
Jordan and Chestnut have had the
robbery in contemplation for several
weeks and made two trips to Savannah
iu order to learn tbe run of the trains,
the lay of the land, and as to the best
place to jump off the train after the
commission of thv robbery. The cord
w ith which Messenger White was tied
was bought some time ago iu Savan
nah for the purpose.
Chestnut, iu his confession, practi
cally confirmed the statement made by
Messenger White of the robbery
Chestnut snys that he and Jordan
boarded the express car as the train
started out of the Macon depot. The
express car was next to the engine.
The door was open and the messeuger
was sweepiu ? the floor.
The robbms and Chestnut handed a
note which he hud written to the mes
senger to read. At the same moment
Jordau covered White with a pistol,
Chestnut siezed bis arms aud his
hands behind his back. Jordan took
two handkerchiefs, a blue and a white
oue, out of Chestnut’s pocket, blind
folded White so he could not see their
movements, and tied him to the floor.
Jordau took the keys of the local
safe off of White, unlocked the safe
and robbed it of two pouches, one of
which contained $116.75 aud the oth
er a number of checks. Jordan tore
up the checks and put the money iu
his pocket. They did not see the bag
of SI,OOO of silver that was in tbe safe.
When the train had gone about six
miles from Macou the men jumped off
and White blindfolded so he would
not know where they jumped off. Iu
jumping off both men fell heavily
against the ground and w'ere badly
I shaken up.
RACIAL CO-EDUCATION BARKED.
Maryville College Official* Will Submit

A Knoxville, Tenu., dispatch says:
A committee of the board of trustees
of Maryville college appointed to act
in behalf of the board has decided to
submit to a law passed by the state
legislature against the co-education of
races. This institution has made no
distinction in races in admission to
the school, It was thought at first
that the committee would contest the
constitutionality of the law. The in
stitution is under the jurisdiction of
the Presbyterians of the northern as

A Nashville dispatch says: There
will be no contest of the will of the
late Samuel Murphy. When it be
came known that lie had left only
$50,000 to each of his two nieces,there
was some talk of a contest, especially
after Mrs. Murphy adopted Mr. and
Mrs. T. J. Felder. The question was
settled Monday, however, when the
executors gave checks for $40,375 to
Mrs. Nora Kilbreth and Mrs. Mary

due less inheritance taxes. Receipts
were given releasing the estate from

“Now Boot GetJho Bluesy
When a cheerful, bravo and light-hearted woman is sud
denly plunged into that perfection of misery, the blues, it is
a ead picture.
It is usually this way :
uhe has been feeling out of sorts for some time, errperi
encmg severe headache and backache: sleeps very poorly
and is exceedingly nervous.
Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness, dizzi
ness, and palpitation of the heart: then that bearing-down
feeling is dreadfully wearing..
Her husband so vs, “ Now, don’t get the blues I You will
be all right after you have takvn the doctor's medicine.”
But she does not get ail right. She grows worse day by
day, until all at once she realizes that a distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake.
She loses faith ; hope vanishes ; then comes the morbid,
melancholy, everlasting blues. She should have been told
what the trouble was, but probably she withheld some
information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unable to
accurately locate her particular illness.
, Mrs. Pink ham has relieved thousands of women from
just this kind cf trouble, and now retains their grateful
letters in her library as proof of the great assistance she has
rendered them. Ibis same assistance awaits every sick
woman in the land.
