BONDS ISSUED TO FINISH WORK Jamestown Exposition Company in Need ot More Money. BUILDINGS INCOMPLETE Bond Issue Will Be for $400,000, with Ex position Property as Security—Appeal to the Government Unavailing. A Norfolk dispatch says: To com plete iu detail the construction of the Jamestown exposition and liquidate all the floating indebtedness of the exposition company, the board of dl -I‘ectors of the Jamestown Exposition Company, at a meeting late Saturday evening, authorized the issuance of $400,000 in bonds, the suo acres of im proved property, including magnifi cent permanent buildings, being of fered as security. The matter of ne gotiating the bonds was left with the hoard of governors and Treasurer Beaman. Washington Not Surprised. A Washington special says: An nouheemeut that the Jamestown Ex position Company finds itself impov erished before the exposition build ings and grounds are completed was received with no surprise by govern ment officials. From the time the company came to congress and to the executive de partments of llio government with re* quests for appropriations there has been a tendency among the govern ment people to refuse as far as possi ble all concern in the Jamestown ex position. It was only the last days of the last session of congress that the attempt to secure a substantial appro priation was successful. That the company was in sore straits for money was evident ten days before the exposition was for mally opened. A meeting of the board of directors of the campany was oalled, and it was decided to postpone the opening owing to the lamentably unfinished condition of the buildings and grounds. This would subject the company to law suits for damages to concessionaires, ay expense it was in no condition to stand, even if the ex position had to be opened in an un prepared state. Before the announcement by tho company that it needs $350,000 to complete the buildings and grounds an attempt was made to get help from the United States government, but tho government was not be won over to the plan, and the company then evolved the plan of getting out a bond issue, secured by the laud on which the exposition stands. EXACT JUSTICE IS PROMISED. Toddy Puts Ifaywood-Moyer Matter Up to Labo Fedcr/ition.

ANOTHER PARSON GOES WRONG. Episcopal Skv-Pilot Leaves Wife and Elopes With Young Girl. Members of the fashionable St. George Episcopal church at Hemp stead, L.* 1., were astonished Thurs day when they learned that their pas tor, Rev. Cooke, had departed from Hempstead, and that Miss Ficretta Whaley also had left her home and had written letters saying that she would not return. The Rev. Mr. Ceoke is a married man. His wif-e left home some lime ago and returned to her father's home on account of his at tcivtious to Miss Whaley. TAXAS SWEPT BY STORM Fierce Tornado Cuts a Swath of Death and Destruction in Northern Sec tion of the State. A storm of wind and rain which was general throughout a considera ble area in northern Texas Monday and which, at some places, assumed the proportion of a tornado, accord ing to meager reports received in Fort Worth Monday night, has re sulted in the loss of at least three lives, the injury of many otheV per sons and great damage to property and crops. Several villages were wiped out, but because of the prostra tion of both telephone and telegraph wires details were almost impossi ble to obtain. At Deport, one of the largest vil lages in Lamar county, 20 miles from Paris, the storm passed northeast, cutting a path about 100 yards wide. The business part of the town was not touched, the damage being in the residence portion on the east side. The Baptist parsonage was blown to pieces. Its timbers and the furniture scattered over the ground. R. H. Bry son's residence was demolished and several other residences damaged. As far as can be ascertained no one was hurt at this place. Crop a are badly damaged and many fences andb arn3 were blown away. A terrific wind passed over Sul phur Springs about 2 o'clock, travel ing from the southwest to the north east. While it was of great veloc ity the damage in Sulphur Springs was trivial. But west of Sulphur Springs the wind assumed the propor tions of a tornado, carrying death and great property damage in its wake. A passenger train on the Cotton Belt was held up by the train crew un til the storm passed. The engineer could see the twisting cloud as it swept across the tracks and cut a path through the country. As soon as tho storm passed, the train pro ceeded and no one was hurt. At the village of Antioch or Pleas ant Grove, as it is also called, the whole village was practically de stroyed. Antioch is about seven miles north of Sulphur Springs. This is the tornado belt and myst of the homes are provided with storm cel lars. TANARUS this fact is due the escape or a number of those who were caught in the path of the storm. OUTBREAKS OCCUR IN INDIA. Natives Grow Hostile to Americans as Well as Europeans. The Hindoo outbreak at Rawalpindi, British India, appears to have been anti-Christian, as well as anti-Eu ropean. The mission buildings were the special object of the fury of tho rioters. An attack was made on the American mission church, the mol) burned the Young Men’s Christian As sociation hall, looted and damaged the houses of the missionaries and violently assaulted native Christians in the streets. A riotous outbreak under the lead ership of Hindoo students, lias occur red at Amritzar, about thirty miles from Lahore. The schools and colleges of Ben gal, which are aililiated with the Uni versity of Calcutta, have become such hot-beds of political agitation that the government resolved to take drastic action. A circular has been sent to the university, college and school au thorities, prohibiting the participation in iwlitical movements and notifying the university that unless it carries out its duty in controlling the af filiated colleges all the government scholarship endowments will be with drawn. THEY HAVE QUIT SPEAKING. Guatemala pnd Mexico Decide to Break Off Diplomatic Relations.

President McCrea of the Pennsyl vania Railroad has acted wisely and commendably in raising the age limit at which meji may enter the employ of his company from 35 to 40 years. There was never a more senseless notion than that which would limit -the age of efficient service to Cos or even 65. Many of the strongest men in public and business life are over 60, and some of them are beyond 70. Farragut was GO at the beginning of the Civil War, and Oyama was . over 63 at the outbreak of the war between Japan and Russia. Hayrn wrote his oratorio, “The Creation,’’ after he was 67, Goethe finished his “Faust” at 82 and Humboldt his “Cosmos” at 76. Among grand old men in the annals of American statesmanship it is suffi cient to mention the names of George F. Hoar, John Quincy Adams and Thaddeus Stevens. Henry Ward Beecher never preached better than in the last year of his life. J. Pierpont Morgan and H. H. Rogers, both over 60, do not yet begin to show signs of senility, and Mark Twain is still “cut ting up,” though past 70. —Leslie’s Weekly. ZERO. Gunner —Is there an exclusive circle In this town?

"After drinking coffee for break fast I always felt lanquid and dull, having no ambition to get to my morning duties. Then in about an hour or so a weak, nervous derange ment of the heart and stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently have to lie down. “At other times I had severe head aches; stomach finally became affect ed and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspepsia and constipation. A lady, for many State President of the W. C. T. U., told me she had been greatly bene fited by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee; she was trou bled for years with asthma. She said it was no cross to quit coffee when she found she could have as delicious an article as Postum. “Another lady, who had been trou bled with chronic dyspepsia for years, found* immediate relief on ceasing coffee and beginning Postum twice a day. She was wholly cured. Still another friend told me that Postum Food Coffee was a Godsend to her, her heart trouble having been re lieved after leaving off coffee and taking on Postum. “So many such cases came to my notice that I concluded coffee was the cause of my trouble and I quit and took up Postum. I am more than pleased to say that my days of trouble have disappeared. lam well and happy.” “There’s a. Reason.” Read, “The Road to Welhiile,” / >kgs.

The executive committee of the State Agricultural Society, at a meet ing with the Atlanta Fair Associa tion, made a contract with the latter by which the premium list should be SB,OOO. The fair win open in At lanta on October 10th and last until October 26th. * * * Redding is Superintendent. Colonel R. J. Redding, formerly director of the Georgia state experi ment station at Griffin, has gone to Jamestown to assume his duties as the superintendent of the Georgia exhibit at the exposition. He was for seventeen years director of the ex periment station, and with his long and varied experience in public af fairs, will make one of the best in formed superintendents at the exposi tion. * * * Communication a Curiosity. The comptroller general has receiv ed a letter from “The Gate City Fire Insurance Company,” the Atlanta con cern against which complaints have been made to him. He regards the communication as a curiosity. It dees not bear the signature of the officers, but was signed on a typewriter, “Gate City Fire Insurance Company, per clerk.” The letter, according to the comp troller, is contradictory, in that it acknowledges receipt of several let ters that have been written by the state’s officers and later indicates that it has never seen two of the letters. * * * Famers Can Ship Hams. According to a Washington dis patch th 6 farmers of Brooks county, who are engaged in the profitable in dustry of raising pork for the mar ket, will be delighted with the modi fied ruling of the bureau of animal industry in regard to meat inspection. The new ruling exempts from the operation of the law meat slaughtered by a farmer on his own farm, so Brooks county hams and bacon can now be shipped in interstate- com merce by the farmers themselves or by merchants and dealers who can certify that the meat is wholesome and was slaughtered on the farm. Bundrick Glad to Get Back. Deputies Parker and Musselwhite, who went to Los Angeles, Cal., to iden tify and bring back to Crisp county George W. Bundrick, reached Cordeie Sunday afternoon with their prisoner.

He says hs crossed the Mississippi river on a log. * * * Swears He Will Not Hang. ‘‘l'll bed if they hang me. When I get out of this trouble I will , horsewhip those fellows in there.” ! These are some of the statements 1 made in court at Augusta by Arthur j Glover, after being sentenced for the second time to be hanged on May 24th for the murder of Maud Dean, his paramour. Glover, who was a detective, shot j the woman without a moment's warn- : ing. He has been in many criminal episodes. The judge's arraignment of him in passing sentence was the mes: 1 severe ever heard in Richmond county. The attorneys for the defense an nounce an appeal, intimating that if necessary they will carry the case to ; the United States supreme court. No ! white man was ever hanged in Rich mond county, and they say Glover shall not break the record. • * * Cotton Seed Meal Barred. Acting on the report cf State Chem ist J. M. McCandless, Commissioner Thomas G. Hudson, of the department of agriculture, has issued an order prohibiting the further sale in Geor gia of the cotton seed meal product | of 18 cotton oil mills. Ho also order- j j ed that all contracts held by these I mills for the fulfillment of orders j -with this particular brand of meal ■ be cancelled, and, in addition, calis | upon the manufacturers to forfeit ] all claims for purchase money from I dealers, or to reimburse the purchas i er. It is alleged that the produce of | .he IS mills does not meet the re -1 quirement of the state law regulating | me manufacture and sale of cotton seed meal. The following mills are affected by | the order of the commissioner: South ! ern Cotton Oil Company, at Com merce; Southern Cotton Oil Com pany, at Columbus; Griffin Oil Com pany, two brands; Buckeye Cotton Oil Company, Macon, two brands; Rome Oil and Fertilizer Company; Bainbridge Cotton Oil Company; Planters’ Cotton Oil Company, Albany, two brands; Georgia Cotton Oil Com pany, Augusta; Georgia Cotton Oil Company, Albany, two brands; Far mers’ Oil and Guano Company, San dersville; Tennille Oil Mills; Madison Oil Company; Greensboro Oil Mill; Farmers’ Oil and Fertilizer Company. The brands of the mills above men tioned fail of requirement with the state law because they contain too lit tle nitrogen, one of the three prin cipal elements of plant food, the com mission says. The brands have been placed on the market as first class, but the analysis of the state chemist of samples submitted to the depart ment of agriculture shows them to fall short of the requirements of the law. * * * Depends on County Line. There seems now to be no doubt of the fact that Secretary of State Phil Cook willi be called upon to decide Just where is the line between Lau rens and Johnson counties. The line is being run by L. W. Rob erts, of Atlanta, who was appointed by Governor Terrell to do the work. Ho has run a line that puts more than seven hundred acres of Laurens county into Johnson and by his sur vey has located the scene of the Tar button, Fluker and Tyre tragedy in Johnson. Laurens’ representatives in the sur vey claim that Mr. Roberts has not followed the line as described in the act. lie has consented to run a line according to their contention. If he accepts this line, which has been ac cepted as being correct for more than ninety years, the matter will end. If he insists that the line he has run is not correct, a fight will be made be fore Secretary of State Phil Cook. About seven hundred acres of land are involved, but this is as nothing to the contention of the two counties as to the scene of the tragedy when J. Letcher Tyre w r as killed by G. A. Tarbutton, Joe Fluker and lierscheJ Tarbutton and the latter w r as killed by Tyre. The defendants want the strip put into Johnson so that they can be tried there and the people of Laurens want the trial to take place in their county. FOR EIGHT HOURS AND MOPE PAY. Street Railway Employes Strike at ’Frisco and Block Traffic. Street car motormen and conductor struck Sunday, tying up the street car system of San Francisco. In place of cars, ail sorts of vehicles, from auto mobiles to express wagons, were used by the public. The fifteen hundred motormen and conductors of the United Railways Investment Company voted early in the day to declare a strike, after hav ing failed to obtain an eight-hour day and a flat wage of $3. The strikers have been reinforced by the stationary firemen, who de mand recognition of their union, and an increase in wages from $2.75 to $3.25 a day. It is probable that other allied unions wall come to the sup port of the car men. President Patrick Calhoun says that the United Railways will operate its lines independently, will demand from the city and state authorities the full protection guaranteed by the law.
