SUPERNTENDENT Os MOTIVE POWER
| Os Seaboard’s Entire System Goes to
Worthy Americus Man Who Has
Worked U|> Rapidly With
Company.
Prom roundhouse foreman in Am
ericus to general superintendent of
motive power of the entire Seaboard
System, with headquarters at Ports
mouth, Va., and a salary of $5,000 a
year, is the splendid record made by
Mr. Ad, J. Poole of Americus.
And he merits it by dint of energy
and devotion to duty.
The Times-Recorder told yesterday
of a report current here regarding
the appointment of Mr. Poole and
yesterday this report was made
authentic by information from head
quarters.
Mr. Poole is now with officials of
the Seaboard upon an inspection tour
in Florida, where the company main
tains large shops, and will come by
Americus upon his return to Atlanta
to take a look at the big shops in, this
city.
His host of friends here are, natur
ally, elated at his appointment, which
is effective Monday.
Mr. Poole began his career with the
Seaboard in Americus, where he was
born and reared. His first position
here was that of foreman of the round
house, from which he arose rapidly by
dint of hard work and application to
his business.
He has been master mechanic in
Savannah, Montgomery and Atlanta,
and goes now from the latter city to
Portmouth as general superintendent
of motive power.

AUGUST BALES IN AMERICUS
RECEIPTS TO DATE NEARLY DOUBLE LAST YEAR'S
Americus Receives a Total of 1,580 Bales of The New Crop to Dale-Prices
and Recipts Ahead of Last Year.
On September Ist, last year the mar
ket opened at 9 cents, and only fin
est grades brought that fancy figure. <
All of the cotton marketed this sea
son has sold at 13 to 13 1-2 cents in <
Americus, a difference of about $22
per bale over last year's figures.
Surely with this difference in price,
and a crop fully as good as last sea
son’s there should be prosperity. <
The Times-Recorder’s files show
August cotton receipts in Americus i
for the past five years as follows: I
For 1903, 156 bales; for 1904, 3,175
bales; for 1905, 3,200 bales; for 1906, I
908 bales, and for 1907, as above sta- t
ted, the receipts are 1580 bales. I
Yesterday, one year ago, Americus
received just 200 bales, worth 9 cents, i
or a total value of $9,000. Yester- i
day’s receipts of 630 bales, at 13 1-4 j i
cents, turned loose $41,737 dollars

Driver is Badly Cut as Well.
Mr James Rouse, a young farmer
residing three miles north of Ameri

driving to his home late yesterday
evening, receiving knife wounds in
his throat which are likely to prove
quite serious.
Willis Wilson, a negro living in the
country, is said to have done the fear

Not only was Mr. Rouse thus attack

the time, was also set upon by the
Infuriated Zulu and badly hacked in

already, the first dating is in October,

Americus enters upon the new cot
ton season of 1907-1908 with a total
of 1580 ‘ August bales” to her credit,
this number representing the receipts
of new cotton up to last night. Yes
terday's receipts were 630 hales wa
gon cotton, and the grand total is
1580.
A total of 1580 bales at this date in
considered very good indeed.
On account of the pate planting, and
general lateness of the crop, it was
though that August receipts would be
light this season, but weather condi
tions recently forced the bolls to ma
turity and the cotton movement has
been greater than expected.
Receipts at this time are well in
excess of warehouse receipts here at
this date last year—9oß bales then
against 1580 bales now.
Then there is some difference in
the price—about $22 per bale.

I ANNIE BESANT TO
COME TO AMERICA
1 High Priestess of Theoso
phy Sails Soon
HAS RUN WHOLE GAUNTLET
From Christianity to Atheism and
Then by Other Steps to Theosophy
-To Meet the American Cult
at Ghicago.
LONDON, August 31. —Mrs. Annie
Besant. recently elected world presi
dent of the Theos.Qphical Society in
succession to the late Henry Steele
Olcott, has arranged to leave Hie re
next week for the United Stater
purpose of her trip is to presk. at
tlie annual convention of the vimeFC’
can section of the Thcosophical So
ciety, which is to he held soon in
Chicago. While in America Mrs.
Besant expects to deliver lectures
on theosophy in New York, Phila
delphia, Cincinnati, Pittsburg and
other cities.
Even those who do not share her
belief often speak of Mrs. Beseant as
one of the most wonedrful women of
the age. Her career at afiy rate, has
been a most extraordinary one. Early
in life she married a minister, the
brother of Walter Besant, the nove
list, who disliked her, and who ac
cented the last syllable of his name
because she accented the first of
hers.
Mrs. BesanVs married life was un
happy. In was legally sepa
rated from her husband, at her own
suit, on the ground of cruelty, and
denied the custody of lifer children on
the ground that she was an atheist,
The real cause of the separation was
her complete dejection from the Chris
tian faith and her refusal to, take ,the
communion in compliance with her
husband’s requirement. Her child
ren, however, did not share her hus
band’s views, and as soon as they
reached their majority returned to
her roof and continued to live with
her.
Mrs. Besant’s public career as a
reformer, inconclast, agitator, and
philanthropist began with her separa
tion from her husband.
She was born altruist, and was no
reformer, inconclast, agitator, and
than she plunged into the work of re
lieving the wants and sorrows of the
poor in the East End of I/mdon. The
accounts given of her self-denying la
bors for the pom- women and match
girls of that locality almost pass be
lief. She was known among them
simply as “Annie,” and addressed
familiarly by that name on all occa
sions.
She was their organizer, their sym
pathizer, and counselor, and it is sol
emnly asserted that at one time she
denied herself necessary food to feed
them. It Is said that so great was
the attachment of the poor for her
that she could visit localities in Lon
don with safety into which the armed
police would not venture, and that
she could dispel a’mob with her pres
ence and voice that had defied the |
whole municipal force.
When she abandoned Christianity
she become a materalist. But while
writing a review of Mme Blavatsky’s
“Secret Doctrine” for William Stead
she was unexpectedly converted to
the system herself, and became from
that time Blavatsky’s apt and humble
disciple, to whom the great teacher
when dying bequeathed the mysterious ‘
finger-ring which she had received
from her own great teacher in the .
East.
Mrs. Besant’s history may be sum
med up as member of the Church of j
England, atheist, Pantheist, Socialist,
editor, essayist, educator, labor or- i
ganizer, humanitarian and theosophist.
Her character is aptly described as ,
gifted, erratic and much-abused.
