AMERIC C S TIMES-REOORDER
SUDDEN WAS DEATH OE I
MAJOR A. B. RAYMOND
Expires in Windsor Hotel
Sunday Night.
Major A. B. Raymond expired at 9
o’clock Sunday evening upon a cot in
the writing room of the Hotel Wind
sor, where he was placed tenederly
by physicians and friends when it was
seen that the effort made to convey
hint to the Americus Hospital had
been too long delayed.
And in the midst of those who were
writing cheerful letters to loved ones
at home, this genial gentleman passed
away with only a verbal message to
bis loved one, an only daughter, in
far-away Massachusetts.
The end came painlessly, the result
of heart affection.
Major Raymond had been in ill
health for some time, and recently ex
pressed a desire to go to the hospital,
as suggested by his physicians, but
each day he delayed his departure
from the hotel. Sunday evening he
expressed a willingness to go, and
hr. Chambless called a carriage.
He was tenderly lifted from a chair
into the vehicle, but immediately
collapsed. He was then told that he
could not withstand the drive of a half
mile there.
Restoratives were given him, and
he was lifted to a cot in the writing
room, expiring in a few minutes.
The body was taken in charge by the
Allison Furniture Company, and con
veyed to the undertaking parlors and
prepared for burial.
it will be sent to his former home
in Lowell, Mass.
Major Raymond was 54 years ot
age, and as superintendent of con
struction for the government was su
pervising work upon the new postof
fice here. He had thus resided in
Americus for six months, and had
made a large number of friends who
esteemed him highly.
He was a Mason, and members of
the Masonic orders here saw to it
that his business affairs and all de
tails for the funeral were given every
attention requ'ygtl.
Major Raynj 'til realized his condi
tion."noa knowing he could survive
but a few hours had given directions
to friends about him for the disposi
tion of his affairs. He is survived by
an only daughter, as stated, to whom
the intelligence of his death was wired
at once.
The body still lies at the undertak
ing parlors of the AUison Company,
awaiting instructions by letter, which
will come tomorrow.
810 AUDIENCE TO WELCOME
JEFFERS OSS TO AMERICUS
The Advance Sale of Seats Is Large
Already.
Americus theatre-goers will extend
a cordial and appreciative greeting to
the Jeffersons on Wednesday evening,
as indicated in the heavy demand for
seats at the advance sale yesterday.
Not only Americus people, but many
from near-by towns will see “The
Henrietta.” I
In “The Henrietta” both of the boys
will have parts fitting their respec- j
five abilities like the proverbial glove,
and each sholdu appear to the best
possible advantage.
Joseph Jefferson will portray the
part of “Old Nick,” a great financier,
who virtually controls the Wall street
market. This character is one of ex
ceptional opportunities, and in the
hands of Mr. Jefferson will be a the
atrical treat.
'William B. Jefferson will appear
as “Bertie, the Lamb ” The part of
Bertie is one of the best known and
funniest of all comedy creations, and
should permit Mr. Jefferson to display
his fun-making abilities to far better
advantage than ever, before.
The company engaged to support
the Jeffersons includes several celeb
rities of note. It is their endeavor to
surpass their reputation for excellent
support, and in the present case each
of the many parts in "The Henrietta”
is in the hands of a specially selected
artist.
The ladies of the company will wear
many magnificent gowns, as the ac
tion of the play demands a series of
beautiful dresses.

EXPLOSION IN MLM
BUILDING HURTS MANY
Several Dead Buried in the
Ruins in Pittsburg
Special to The Times-Recorder.
New York, Sept. 27.—Three chil
dren are dead, ten are dying and
twenty are in hospitals with serious
injuries as the result of a stampede
of the Holy Rosary Italian church
school in Jersey City today.
The firing of a bomb used in cele
brating an Italian feast day and the
constant reports that the Black Hand
Society intended to blow up the school
caused a panic.
For a week there have been reports
that the Black Hand intended to blow
up the school, whSph adjoins the
Holy Rosary church and which is near
to St. Anthony's Polish Catholic
church.
With the explosions of the first
bomb used in the celebration 1,000 lit
tle ones jumped to their feet in a
panic, and with shrill screams of ter
ror dashed for the doors, many being
thrown down and trampled upon with
deadly effect.
FOUR GOVERNORS IN A YEAR
PASS AWAY IN DEATH
Johnson, Li I ley, Cosgrove and Sparks
Have Died.
New York, Sept. 27.—The recent
mortality of gevernors of States has
been striking. Within a year
Governors John A. Johnson, of
Minnesota, George L. Lilley, of Con- J
necticut, Samuel G. Cosgrove of
Washington and John Sparks of Ne
vada have passed away. This is cer
taily an extraordinary number of gub
neratorial deaths.
Governors Cosgrove and Lilley had
been in office only a short time when
the summons that no man may ignore
or evade came to them. Both were
inaugurated in January, and Governor
Cosgrove died in March and Governor
Lilley in April.
Os the chief magistrates who have
died within a year Governors Jolmsou,
and Lilley had national reputations.
Governor Johnson’s prominence as a
national figure was mainly attained
during his service in the executive
chair, while Governor Lilley's was!
achieved while he was in Congress and
battling with the submarine forces.
Governor Sparks occupied the Fed
eral limelight for a short time last
year as the result of some breezy cor
respondence with President Roosevelt
with reference to the miners' strike at
Goldfield.
PRESIDENT GETS A WELCOME
MONDAY IN MONTANA
Butte, Mont., Sept 27.—After a
night ride through the mountains
from Pocatello, President Taft’s spe
cial train reached this city shortly
before 7 o'clock this morning. An
immense crowd was at the station to
greet the president. After an infor
mal reception the president was taken
on a-drive about the city, viewing the
points of interest. A brief address and
an informal luncheon completed the
program of the visit. At 12:30 the
presidential train departed for Helena.
SCHOOL CHILDREN HURT
IN NEW YORK PANIC
Explosion of Bomb throws
Terror Into Italian School
Special to The Times-Recorder.
Pittsburg, Sept. 27.—With a detona
tion that could be heard for blocks,
an explosion shortly before noon in the
office of the Columbian Film Ex
change wrecked the building and
fiity persons were injured, while some
dead are believed to be buried in the
ruins of the walls of the building, an
eight-story structure.
Not an office in the structure es
caped without damage. Windows were
blown out and partitions knocked,
down. Two score firemen are now
digging in the ruins for victims.
A HURRIQANE ON COAST
INSTEAD OF TIDAL WAVE
Fearful Haver Was Wrought in Lou
isiana.
New Orleans, Sept. 27.—1 t will
probably be found, when a careful
and exact investigation is made, that
the damage done along the gulf of
Mexico was due not to a tidal wave,
strictly so-called, but to a wave raised
and cast inland by the force of the
territ'fic hurricane which swept over
the region. Whenever a gigantic wave
of water comes ashore with such cost
to human life and property the first
reports refer to the destruction as
caused by a tidal wave, yet such waves
are rare, and by no means dreaded as
much as is the hurricane, which too
frequently sweeps across the south
ern portion of the country. The power
of such gales is tremendous, and
hardly conceivable to anyone who has
not witnessed their work. Such a
wind has plenty of strength to lift a
considerable body of water from the
gulf and send it whirling and roaring
ashore, and this, it may be believed,
is just what happened in Louisiana.
SCHOOLS OF STATE WILL
MEET IN CONVENTION
Next Assemblage in Rome, Ga., in
Early Sring.
Tlie State Sunday School convention
of Georgia will be invited to meet in
Rome in the spring of 1910. The state
association is composed of represen
tatives from all the Sunday schools re
gardless of denomination and its mem
bers include the leading Sunday school
workers from all parts of Georgia. The
state association was due to meet last
April in Savannah, but ovying to the
death of President Haynes just before
the time scheduled for the meeting the
gathering was postponed until Novem
ber. There was some idea of inviting
the convention to Rome for November
In view of the fact, however, that No
vember is a busy month, and that the
time of preparation would be so short
this plan was abandoned. Instead It
was decided at a meeting of the Sun
day school superintendents of Rome
to seek the gathering for 1910.
Living right is no guaranty that a
man will not be left.
An imaginative mind is the press
agent of happiness.

SOUTH DOFS HONOR TO
MEMORY OE SEMMES
-,/iday of Naval Herols
Marked.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 27.—8 y
command of Gen. Clement A. Evans,
commander-in-chief of the United
Confederate Veterans, and in accord
ance with '“solutions adopted at the
last ContVj <Y _e reunion today was set
aside thr*§ g* > tlie South for the ob
servance of <*> one hundrdeth anni
versary of the birtii of Rear Admiral
Raphael Semmes. one of the most
celebrated heroes of the Confederate
States navy.
Admiral Senunes was born in
gl U* county', Maryland, Sept. 27,
Si
€ Ipman in the United States navy,
and in tlie ensuing winter made his
first cruise in the sloop of war Lex
ington. He saw service during the
war with Mexico, assisted at the land
ing of General Taylor's army at Mon
terey and was present at the taking
of the City of Mexico.
At the outbreak of the civil war he
resigned his commission and imme
diately offered his services to the
Confederate States government. He
purchased the Habana, a propeller
packet of 300 tons, plying between
New Orleans and Cuba, and hastily
equipped her as a commerce-destroy
er. This vessel was renamed the
Sumter and succeeded in taking her
out of New Orleans, which was block
aded by the Federals. For several
months he cruised along the coast of
South America and made many rich
captures.
In the latter part of 1861 he crossed
the Atlantic, arrivig at Cadiz Janu
ary' 2, 1862. Being closely blockaded
at Gibraltar, he sold his ship and with
several of his officers went to Eng
lang and thence to the Bahama isl
ands. Soon afterwards he was com
missioned captain and sent to Eng
land to take command of* the new
ship building in the More., for the
Confederate Stales.
Captain Semmes commissioned the
vessel as the Confederate man-of-war
Alabama, and on August 24, 1864, he
fought and sank the United States
steamer Hatteras off Galveston. The
following June he encountered in the
English channel, off Chebourg, the
United States steamer Kearsage, ih
command of Captain Winslow'. After
one of the most desperate naval bat
tles of the war, Semmes surrendered
an twenty minutes later tfte Alabama
sank. Captain Semmes escaped by
jumping overboard, and a few' months
later returned home and was commis
sioned rear admiral.
5 With the close of the w r ar he re
turned to his home in Mobile, and de
voted the remainder of his life to the
practice of law'. His death occurred
August 30, 1877.
COBB LEGION IN REUNION
TODAY IN CLASSIC ATHENS
Veterans of the Sixties Mill Assemble
Again.
Brigadier General H. Thomas Dav
enport, U. C. V., at the head of a
score of soldiers of the sixties, left
Americus yesterday for Athens to at
tend the state reunion of veterans.
And an occasion of greatest interest
it will be for the “boys in gray.”
Gen. Davenport has, for two years,
commanded the Western Brigade of
Georgia; but it is believed that great
er honors will be conferred upon him
at this meeting.
And worthily wil he wear the new
title, should he accept it.
Among the. reunions today will be
that of the Doles-Cook Brigade and
the Cobb I>egion. Captain John A.
Cobl), of Americus, belonged to this
gallant band, commanded by his
father, General Howell Cobb, C. S. A.,
and will be present at the reunion to
day.
Athens is prepared to entertain the
veterans, and the state reunion will
be an occasion of greatest interest.
JOHNSON WORTH SIB,OOO.
Late Governor Probably Left All to
His Widow.
St. Paul, Minn., Set. 37.—Fred W.
Johnson, the late Governor Johnson's
brother, Fred B. Lynch and T. D. O’-
Brien, close friends of Governor
Johnson, have begun the work of get
ting the estate of the dead Governor
into shape so that it may be probated.
Governor Johnson left no will, but it
is understood it was his wish, express
ed before he died, that his entire estate
be turned over to Mrs. Johnson. It is
estimated that the value of the estate
will not exceed SIB,OOO.
Weather forecast for today: Fair and cooler.
PLACE BAN ON CHECKS
UNDER ONE DOLLAR
Cannot Ik/ - For Amouut
Under That Sum.
Washington, Sept. 27.—Business
men of the country are just learning
that the penal code adopted at the last
session of Congress puts a ban on
checks for less than St. Charles D.
Norton, acting secretary of the treas
ury, has asked the law officers of tlie
government to construe the provisions
of the code for him.
The mail-order houses throughout
the country appear to be much con
cerned on account of this provision
The new code was approved on March
4, 1909, and will go into effect on
January 1. 1910. The language of the
provision forbids the making, issuance,
circulation or paying out of any note,
check, memorandum, token or other
obligation for less than sl.
Business firms who have been inter
viewed as to the effect of the new en
actment say' it will mean the substitu
tion of postage stamps, subsidary coins
and postoffice money orders in lieu of
the bank checks for payment of ac
counts representing fractions of a dol
lar.
The number of bank checks drawn
in payment of balances of less than a
dollar are very few.
Treasury officers are at a loss to ac
count for the legislation. It does not
apear to have been discussed in either
house of Congress.
One banker expressed the opinion
that it was a step toward the estab
lishment of a postal savings bank. The
most rational explanation of the enact
ment appears to be that it. was design
ed to stimulate the sale of postage
stamps and postal money orders.
