STEAMSHIP IN A BLAZE
A PANIC IS RESULT.
Crew Eights a Crazy Mob
at Boats.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
New York, April B.—A terrible ex
plosion occurred early this morning
on the British steamer Cairnrona off
Dungeness which wrecked the wom
en’s quarters, killing one child and
injuring a number of women and chil- .
dren The steamer caughit fire and
a panic ensued in which men fought
for the possession of the boats and
hard to be beaten back by the crew
to allow the women to be taken off
first.
A large number of the passengers
were landed this afternoon, many oi
them in an exhausted condition.
In all twenty were seriously injured
and not less than fifty were slightly
injured by the explosion and in the 1
panic that followed it.
The Cairnrona sailed yesterday from
London for Portland, Me. She car
ried 900 passengers, for the most part !
emigrants, and a general cargo. By 1
great good luck the steamers Upland
and Kanawha were close at hand
when the Cairnona caught fire. They i
stood by and took off several hundred <
passengers and landed them here. *
Several of the first-class passengers '•
and American cattlemen gave thrilling i
details of the accident. i
A number of women with children in
their arms were sitting on a hatch, ’
when suddenly a violent explosion 1
hurled them to all parts of the deck 1
Some of tl.lam were shockingly in
jured and one child was killed. Tiie :
hatch was blown to fragments.
HATS LIGHTER AM) BIGGER I
BO THE RATES GO UP
Railroads Also Have a Kk*k On Wo
men’s Headgear.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Washington, I) C.. April 8. —Wo-
men’s hats have been growing larger
and larger every year. They Lave
also been growing lighter and lighter
in we ght. So that now a woman’s
hat weighs less and takes up more
room than it did years ago. A freight
or an express car will hold only a
tenth! of the hats it once did and the
carriers raised the rates to make up
the difference.
That is the answer of the railroads
and express companies to the com
plaint of the Millinery Jobbers Asso
ciation which was heard before the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
day. The millineries say the rate is
too highi and the carriers say the evo
lution of the headgear simply male
them put on the increase.

AMERICUS. GEORGIA. SATURDAY MORNING. APRIL 9. 1910
SEEKING FUNDS EOR
WESLEYAN COLLEGE
Dr. Ainsworth Spent Yes
terday in Americus.
Rev. Dr. Ainsworth, president ofj
Wesleyan Female College, at Macon I
spent yesterday in Americus, in com- j
pany with Rev. A. M. Morgan, pastor
of the Methodist church at Cordele. j
The previous night Dr. Ainsworth! had
assisted at a mission meeting at the
Americus Methodist church.
Yesterday Dr. Ainsworth saw a num
ber of Americus people with reference
to the endowment and improvement
fund that is now being raised for
Wesleyan College. It is proposed to J
raise $200,000, of which $40,000 will be i
put into a new building, the remainder I
constituting a permanent endowment j
fund for the institution.
“I have been very highly gratified!
at the results of the canvass up to this j
time,” said Dr. Ainsworth yesterday |
“So far we have pledged $61,000. The 1
largest individual contribution is
SI,OOO, and they run all the way down
to $lO. This is one feature of the
work that is especially satisfactory
It is much better for an educational
institution to secure money through
a popular subscription than through
a few individuals, as it attracts the
attention of the people more to the
institution, awakens and retains their
interest in it, and contributes to its
healthful develpment thereafter.
Those who are contributing to Wes
leyan will always feel a personal in
terest in it hereafter, and their good
wishes and continued regard for it |
are assured.”
Dr. Ainsworth stated that contribu
tions had been received from Ameri
cus aggregating about SSOO. He con
fidently expected to more than double
this. Americus has always shown a
decided interest in Wesleyan, a num
ber of its daughters have attended the
college, and there is not apt to be any
lagging of the esteem in which! the j
institution is held here, not only by
(he Methodists, but by the people!
generally.
TRAIN RUBBERS BALKED
BY COURAGE OF CONDUCTOR
Hold Holdup On St, Paul Railway
Frustrated.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
LaCrosse, Wis., April 8. —An un
successful attempt was made early
this morning to hold up Train No. 1
on the Pioneer Limited, on thle Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway
between Thomas and Oakdale, this
state. The robbery was frustrated
through the courage of Conductor Sam
Way.
TWO MEETINGS OF INTEREST
FRIDAY AT FCRLOW LAWN
Large Congregations At Two Daily
Services.
The revival meetings at Furlow
Lawn Baptist church continue with in
creasing interest Rev. J. Clyde Tur
ner preached most interesting and
helpful sermons at both services yes
terday.
At the afternoon service he handled
his theme in a masterful manner
showing the illimitable resources of
Christ in salvation, in tine life of the
Christian and in the glory life of
the heavenly world.
At night he presented in simple, yet
in a powerful way, the gospel method
of salvation and life.
There will be no service today, but
Mr. Turner will remain and preach at
every service Sunday, and also into
next week as well.
These meetings are accomplishing
great good in deepening the spirit life
of Christians, and in the salvation of
the unsaved.
A number have already united with
the church and it is confidently ex
pected that many more will be re
ceived before the meetings close.

ANOlhtR LARGE LAND
DEAL IS FUitLD 01 f
Bahsen’s 17 Acre Traci
Sold Yesterday.
Another important real estate deal
was pulled off yesterday when Mr.
( Fred B. Arthur, as agent, sold to Mr.
B. F. Arthur and associates the sev
enteen-acre tract owned by Dr. Bahn
sen, formerly James Mont
gomery place. v ‘ :*
This property embraces seventeen
acres, adjoins the country club grounds
and has an attractive cottage home up
on it.
The price paid for the tract is not
i made public.
| This tract also adjoins the Howard
j place, of forty-five acres, that Mr. B.
F. Arthur and associates bought on
Thursday. They now have sixty-two
acres of fine level land, capable of de
velopment into a magnificent suburban
section. It would not be surprising to
see this disposition made of it in the
near future.
Mr. B. F. Arthur is a Union, South
Carolina man, and his associates are
understood to be men of means in that
vicinity. Drawn to Americus by the
advertising the city has received in
the last year or two, Mr. Arthur has :
reached the conclusion that this place
has about as bright a future, if it is
pushed, as any place he knows of. |
He is accordingly casting in his lot
with Americus and may be the means j
of inducing others to do likewise. j

REV. BASCOM ANTHONY
ON TEDDY AND POPE.
Nobody Has Right to Criti
cise Pope’s Action.
Commenting on the Roosevelt-Vati
can incident Dr. Bascom Anthony, pas
tor of St. Luke.s Methodist Church,
thus expresses his view to the Colum
bus Ledger.
“As to who shall be welcomed at his
house, the Pope is competent to de
cide and nobody has a right to criti
cise him. In this he has the same
rights as other men. As to whether
or not they will accept his invitation
with all the restristions put upon it,
[ Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Fairbanks are
competent to settle, and both settled
it as you would expect an American
to do. In all this nobody lias a right
to criticise either party.
“The real trouble is found in what
lies back of it all. The Pope’s side
as given out by his representatives
is that the Methodists—and by the
way, it is not my church, but the
Northern Methodists— have been
using means in their work offensive to
the Pope. Two charges are made, first
that there is a lot of poor and needy
people around the Vatican upon whom
I the Methodists spent money and won
. to their church!, and secondly, that
i they exposed for sale, and did sell
books that were far from complimen
j tary to the Pope and the Catholic
! church. I have heard no plea from
| the other side, but on general princi
! pals I guess they plead guilty, both
| sides agreeing on facts, but differing
] on their interpretation of facts,
i '‘Modernism and mediavalism are
! not apt to view facts from the same
angle. It is difficult for-the Pope to
recognize himself simply as the head
of a church and not the head of the
' church.
“It is equally as difficult for an
American to understand why anyone
should insist on his friends sneezing
when he takes snuff. Most of us w.ll
agree that the Methodists aud Catho
lics are able to fight out to a finish
without any outside interference.’’
Weather forecast for todayi FAIR
!CLARK AND WHITE ARE
GOOD TOR IHE GANG
Both Negroes Will Serve
Sentences.
Josh Clark and Joe White, convict
j of crimes in Sumter superior court,
, are to serve the sentences imposed,
i the court of appeals having just ren
' dered a decision in both their cases,
; affirming the decision of the court
1 here.
Clark is tbe Cordele coon who at
tempted to shoot Mr. John Monahan
here in October last—an unprovoked
assault.
Clark was given a term of five years
for the attempted killing. He gave
bond in thie sum of SI,OOO and also
for, $250 in a concealed weapon case.!
pending the usual appeal as in all
such cases.
M hether Clark will face the music
cr forfeit the bond remains to be \
seen later in tne game.
Joe White is the negro who forced
entrance into a residence near Do
Soto last year, for the evident purpose
of committing an assault. He was
convicted of burglary at the trial here
and sentenced to fifteen years in the
state pen.
White is in the coop and the state
is dead sure to get his services as a
roads builder.
OAT FIEDS IX DANGER
AS RESULT OF THE DROUGHT <
Farmers Here Are Alarmed Our the
Situation.
Sumter's farmers, and orchard
owners as well, are worried over the
prevailing drought, a condition mo3t
unusual at this season. It has not
rained here in several weeks, or since
early in March; and the tender young
crops are suffering greatly. Danger
to the oat crop confronts the farmer,
as it is at this period that the young
plants take on their growth. Young
corn and cotton are suffering for rain,
as are gardens and truck farms. All
over this section of Georgia rain is
needed.
STORY A SENSATIONAL ONE;
NO FOUNDATION IN FACT
Report of Riot in Lee Uouuty a Pure
Fake.
A-story circulated here yesterday of
an alleged “race riot’’ in Lee county,
a few miles below Americus, was found
to be a fake, pure and simple. The
story originated in Albany, and was
scattered broadcast, the details telling
of a dozen people killed. ’Twas but
an idle dream.

The sneak thief is getting in his
work in Americus with marked suc
cess. Numerous small robberies have
been reported recently, the hoboes ,
confining their work to small stores
in the residence section, where there
is no police protection. The robbery j
of the Chapman store a few nights j
ago is the fourth store robbery out
in that section of the city recently.

Mr. George M. Bragg, who is demon
strating what can be done here in the
matter of raising pigs for market, ■
killed one yesterday, a two-year-old,
that weighed 480 pounds. The pig
was raised at practically little cost,
and at current prices for pork will
yield a fine profit upon the invest

under one year old that will weigh

Sheriff At Murder Trial Wanted To
Search Them.
Aberdeen, Miss., April B.—“if am
told that some of the women friends of
Mrs. Carter have got revolvers con
cealed in their hose. What is the mat
ter with searching them?”
This, from Sheriff Jones, mounted on
a bench, at the opening of tDe Carter
murder trial here, caused wild ex
citement in the courtroom. There
1 were 200 women present to hear the
final testimony, which was expected
to be sensational.
“The men have been disarmed, why
not disarm the women?” Sheriff
Jones cont'nued, and he was about
to volunteer to become one of the
[ searching party when Judge Mitchell
accused him of being ungallant in even
suggesting that the women should be
“frisked" for weapons.
Taking courage from the rebuke by
the judge, the women recovered from
their embarrassment and cries of de
, rision were directed at Sheriff Jones.
