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.” Texas to Have Sew Railroad.

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.

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 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.

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 To The New Tennessee Law.
