'WANT NO IMMIGRANTS.
* Farmers’ Union Believes in Keeping
I Soil for Ihe Coming Generation.
THIS IS REASON GOVERNOR SMITH
DECLINED TO TALK.
ATLANTA, GA., July 25.—(Spec
ial.) —At the session of the Farmers’
Union today resolutions opposing im
migration were adopted. The Union
goes on record as emphatically pro
testing against any State aid being
given to movements of this nature.
Those in position to know state
1 that Gov. Smith had ascertained from
inside sources the sentiment existing
among the Union leaders and out of
this grew his declination of the in
vitation to address the legislature on
i the immigration question, although
on his return from his immigration
trip abroad he was enthusiastically
1 in favor of the State taking hold of
tlie matter.
ELOPED WITH JAPANESE.
-
Rectors Wife Forgiven for Being Fas
cinated by Servant’s Manners.
CHICAGO, July 25.—Attracted by
the polite mannerisms of Y. Saca
meuta, a Japanese servant, Mrs. H.
C .Robinson, wife of Rector Robinson,
of St. John's Episcopal church, of
Seattle, eloped with him. Telegrams
received in Chicago today told of the
discovery and arrest of the couple
in the Japanese quarter of Seattle.
The wife was forgiven, and Sacameta
is trying to have himself forgot
ten.
Friends of Rector Robinson, who
was formerly assistant pastor of
fashionable Grace Episcopal Church,
Chicago, were shocked at the news
of the elopment.
This incident recalls the arrest of
Mrs. Robinson in this city in 1904
for shoplifting, in a State street store.
A house detective charged that he
saw her remove the price tags from
some valuable furs and endeavor to
conceal them.
Mrs. Robinson is a handsome bru
nette, and while in Chicago was
known as an ardent church work

NO DEALING WITH JORDAN.
Farmers’ Union Thinks Cotton Grow
ers* Association Is Dead.
The Farmers’ Union will have no
official dealing with the Southern
Cotton Association. State Lecturer
G. M. Davis, of Floyd county, talked
freely of the matter, and his remarks
seemed to represent the sentiments
of the union.
Among other things, Mr. Davis
said:
“Our organization has taken no
official action, and will probably take
none, in regard to any relations
which do now or may hereafter ex
ist*bet ween our body and the South
ern Cotton Association. I may state,
however, that we will have no kind
of affiliation with them. We will run
our affairs in our own way, and they
can run theirs as they see fit. Our
aims and theirs seem to be different.
In any event, I want to say in 'the
positive manner that we will
have nothing to do with this organi
zation.”
“And I may add,"’ concluded Mr.
Davis, “that my duties have called
me in the last few months in every
section qX the state, and nobobdy pays
any attention to this organization. I
have found that all the members of
the organization are dead except the
officers, and those who have quit.”

Prohibition Bill Will Then Go Through the House
Under Agreement.
FILIBUSTERING IS BROUGHT TO AN END.
Outside of the Minor Amendments Which Are Looked For the Bill Will Be
As It Passed the Senate and Probably the Most Drastic in Force
In the United States—Legislators Were Worn Out.
ATLANTA, GA., July 25.—(Spec
ial.) —There was another great crowd
at tlie capital this morning," expect
ing a repetition of the stirring events
of yesterday, which culminated short
ly before 11 o’clock at night in a
fisticuff exhibition between Seab
Wright, leader of the prohis, and
Joe Hill Hall. The legislators were
slow in arriving and showed by their
appearance and listlessness that they
had been much wearied by the strain
of yesterday’s long session and ex
treme heat, as well as by the ten
sipn otherwise on their nerves. How
ever there seeenid to be more of a
desire for peace between the con- :
tending elemnets than seemed pos- ’
sible yesterday.
The little band who conducted the :
filibustering so successfully on yes- i
terday seemed to have come to the <
conclusion that dilatory tactics must i
eventually end, after all, in the pas- i
sage of the Hardman bill, and that I
the enormous majority in favor of 1
the measure would find away to give i
effect to its views on the liquor ques
tion. As a result of this sentiment, 1
and a cooling down on the part of i
file prohi leaders, a better feeling
soon prevailed and it was not found 1
difficult to arrange by mutual agree- t
meat that filibustering should cease i
and that all‘legitimate debate on the t
Hardman bill should cease at four c

HEAVIER TAX RATE AHEAD:
e
If the Bond Issue for College fails to Get Enough,
Votes.
i
THIS IS ALTERNATIVE BEFORE SUMTER CITIZENS. ’
E
If They Fail to Turn Out in Sufficient Numbers to Carry the Bond Issue 0
the County Commissioners Will Have No Other Alternative But
to Levy a Heavier Tax Rate to Raise the $50,000. * a ‘
If the voters of Sumter county do
not turn out and vote for the bond
issue of $50,000, the proceeds of
which are to be used for the pay
ments on the agricultural college
buildings and grounds, it will pro
bably be necessary for the County
Commissioners to levy an extra tax
sufficient to net tffe County $50,000.
This would mean a state and coun
ty tax of nearly two per cent this
year. 5
The County Commissioners having
entered into these contracts for the
Agricultural college, which are
thoroughly and entirely legal, it is
their duty to provide the money to
carry them out. To that end the
Board can do one of two things:
Issue bonds to the extent of $50,-
000, as is proposed; or
Levy an extra tax on the realty of
the county that will be sufficient to
bring that amount into the treasury.

AYRES TO STRIKE BACK.
Threatens Ugly Army Disclosures if
He is Retired.
NEW YORK, July 25.—A11 army
scandal involving five army officers
all West Point graduates, may result
from the action of the War Depart
ment in calling the retirement board,
whose surgeons on Saturday dS^ -
dared Lieut. Col. Charles A. Ayres
physically unfit for further active
duty.
Col Ayres has declined to admit that
he w’ould demand an investigation of
the misconduct of the officers at
Camp Wallace, in the province of
Luzon, Philippine Islands. It is well
known, however, that he has in his
possession numerous affidavits, that
are recorded also in the archives of
the War Department at Washington.
These affidavits bear strongly upon
the actions of certain United States
army officers who were at Camp
Wallace at the time Col .Ayres was
ordered there to investigate the
charges of embezzlement of post
funds and mutinous conduct on the
part of army officers,
j It is asserted: that the court-mar
-1 tial of these officers has been pig
' eon-holed at the War Department. It
Jis also said that one of the direct
reasons of the hasty summoning of
I Col. before the army retireing
f board is due to a desire on the part
Jof the War Deparment to huch up
any army scandal in the Philippines.

o'clock on next Tuesday and the vote
then be taken. It is accordingly now
a certainty that tlie Hardman bill,
either as it stands, or in a- slightly
amended form, will go upon its
passage at that time and be adopted
by a vote of at least four to one, 1
one of the greatest majorities ever 1
given for a State prohititory measure
in any State of the union. ,
it is the general belief that the !
proposed amendments giving a more
liberal policy toward physicians and '
c
druggists will be adopted. Some of j
the prohis are opposed to this, but ,
there is a large element more liberal t
in spirit that seems to recognize the
validity of the protests made bv re- 1
1
putable physicians throughout the
state against the rigidness of the bill (
in its relations to liquors as medi- 1
cine. Beyond this it is not thought 1
c
that any amendments can muster a
s
much larger vote than the filibus- j
terers, the prohi leaders having their
following well in hand on all main c
issues. * *
a
Tlie House was in session but (
briefly today, adjourning at eleven r
thirty, after twenty-five new hills t
had been introduced. There was 1
f
keen disappointment among most of
the spectators, many of whom had f
been drawn with the expectation of
troublous times like the incident that 1
closed Wednesday's night session.

tingencies he prefers. J lB
If a voter does not wish the bonds k g
issued he must be prepared to stands
for an increase in the tax rate. p e
There are .now but four days ini q
which those not qualified can regis-Jth

As has been several times stated,
it will take about 1,000 affirmative X
votes to authorize the County Com- n
missioners to issue the bonds. b
There should be no difficulty 'in I
getting that number, if citizens dis- c
play even an ordinary amount of in
terest in the election. 9
The fact that if the bonds do not b
carry there will be an extra rate c
levied may be the means of consid- b
erably stimulating interest on the c
part of property owners throughout u
the county. r
It is entirely up to them to de- b
cide which they prefer, bonds, or a a
heavier burden of taxes this year. b

‘ a
Passengers Not to Be Allowed to
Turn Cars Into Saloons.
As a result of the misconduct of '
excursionists on the Seaboard, prob- T
ably some of those returning home
from the recent cheap trip from this 1
.section, orders have been issued that -
no drunken man shall he allowed to 1
pass the gate at the depot in Sav- 1
annah, and further that no man 1
carrying a package of liquor shall 1
be allowed to become a passenger. 1
Experience has shown that the 1
package of liquor does not stay in !
the original form very long after the ‘
train starts. Two of recent scraps 1
on trains, in which pistols were '
drawn, have been due to passengers 1
tanking up after getting on the
train.
The new move commends itself to
that large portion of the traveling
public which prefers to do its drink
ing off trains, if anywhere, and which
objects to the passenger coaches be
ing turned into battle grounds for
half drunken men. The order ap
plies to all of the railroads entering
the Union depot at Savannah. It is
not improbable that it will be ex
tended to all the principal points
; where it is possible to enforce the
law.

THE BEST YET
Masons Return From Ellarille
Well Pleased. j

Were Elected.

with their entertainment by the hos

thoroughly pleased with the interest
shown in the convention and tlie
work done at it.
“It was by far the most successful
convention we have yet held” said
Sect. Howard yesterday afternoon.
“The attendance was larger than
ever before, there was more enthu
siasm manifested, and, despite the
hot weather, the proceedings were
enjoyed by all. It was a very profi
table meeting in every way.”
Seventy-six Masons were in at
tendance, representing fifteen lodges
in thirteen counties.
The next meeting will be held at
Cordele, on the fourth Wednesday in
next July, lasting two days. With the
increasing interest and the central lo
cation of Cordele it would not be
surprising if there were fully 100
Masons In attendance then. ,
Degrees were conferred upon five
candidates: Mr. E. F. Hall took the
Entered Apprentice Degree, while
.Messrs. A. G. Duncan, W. E. Hamil
ton, J. W. Carter and T. L. Caruthers
received the Fellowcraft and Mas
ter Mason’s degrees, by special dis
pensation. All the candidates were
from Americus.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
Worshipful Master, B. B. Wimber
ly, of Jeffersonville.
Senior Warden, S. C. Wissiger, of
Cordele.
Junior Warden, W. J. Griffin, of
Oglethorpe.
Treasurer, S. S. Fort, of Lump
