DECEASED PASTOR
The Andrew Chapel Sunday school '
■has passed memorial resolutions on
■ the death of Rev. George Walker, who'
Ipr.s.’ed away at his home in Ellaville
I about two weeks ago, after an attack'
of apoplexy.
The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas, the Exalted Ruler of the
I niverse has seen proper in His all
wise providence to remove from . our
midst our dearly beloved pastor. Bro
ther George Walker, and while we bow
in humble submission to the will of
Him who best knoweth our needs; we
yet grieve because of the absence or
cur pastor, and whose exact place in
cur hearts, and in this Sunday school
and church can never be replaced.
Therefore, be it resolved;
First, That we accept the decrees
of the Infinite in the spirit of true,
loyal Christians, who are ever ready to
acknowledge the superior wisdom of
Him who is in us. and through us, and
in whom we live, move and have our
being. That in meeting this sorrow
we accept the works of Providence as
being for our highest good, even
though we do not know, and cannot
understand.
Second, Resolved further, that we
seek to get an inspiration from the
life of this dear brother, who has been
called from our midst, that we emulate
the example set by him for us, and
Karn from his life; to show in our
daily walk more charity, justice, broth
erly love and fidelity.
Third, That his last days were re
plete with work for the Lord, especially
the last day, conducting two funeral
services, and assisting in two services
in a protracted meeting at Ellaville.
Fourth, That we invoke the .bless
ings of our Heavenly Father upon his
mother, wife and children; may the Sa
viour comfort and strengthen them.
Fifth, That this Sunday school ex
tend to his dear family our heartfelt
sympathy in their sorrow; and that a
copy of these resolutions be published
in the Schley County News; also in
the Americus Times-Recorde-r, and a
copy be sent to the bereaved family.

WIFE TRIED TO USE VOODOO
POWDERS ON POLICEMAN
ATLANTA Ga.. May 30.—One would
think the wife of an Atlanta police
man would use something more ce •-
tain, not to say violent, than myster
ious red voodoo powders to put him
put him out of the way—assuming that
one was acquainted with the Atlanta
police force —but that was the method
chosen by Mrs. Policeman F— N.
Womack, according to her husband’s
more or less thrilling account of his
hair breadth escape as related before
Judge Ellis in the Fulton divorce court
yesterday afternoon.
“I waked up one night and found
her bending over me," declared the
policeman, “and when I asked her
what she was doing she said she just
wanted to find out whether 1 was
sleeping well. I put my hand up to
n y face and found it covered with
this powder she bought from a fortune
teller. Then I got to searching around
end discovered two packages of it, one
labelled ‘Use while asleep,’ and the
ether labeled ‘Use in the clothing.’ ”
Mrs. Womack’s attorney turned the
tables on the policemtn’s Conan Doyle
story by offering to eat all the voodoo
powders he would produce in the
I court room.

SAVANNAH STILL ‘•BUCKING’’
ENFORCEMENT OF ••DRY” LAW
SAVANNAH, Ga., May 30. —The fight
between. Recorder John E. Schwarz, on
the one hand, and Col. R. J. Travis and
others of the Pierpont administratioa
on the over over the right to search
a man’s home for liquor under the
bone dry law goes merrily on. The po
lice are continuing under instructions
from the administration to try and
search houses for liquor, although Re
corder Schwarz will not issue war
rants for this purpose, holding that
such warrants are illegal and contra
ry to the rights of citizens under the
constitution and laws.
Recorder Schwarz, in a card in the
Morning News, has offered to leave the
decision of the question up to three
Savannah judges, viz., Judge Meldrim,
of the Superior court; Judge Freeman,
of the City Court, and Judge Rourke, of
the Municipal court, saying he is will
ing to abide by their decision as to
the legality of the right to search, but
the administration is after his scalp.
Aiderman Daniel introduced a resolu
tion in council to abolish the office of
recorder, letting the municipal court
do the recorder’s work, and the ad
ministration forces are preparing a
bill to be introduced in the legislature
abolishing the office of recorder of Sa
vannah. The administration has in
vain sought light on the controversy
from Governor Harris; Mayor Pierpont
has written and asked the governor
" Does the new bone-dry law give the
right of search?’’ But evasive answers
are all he has received from the chief
executive. Meanwhile the police are
having rough sledding enforcing their
right to search. They had to fight
and dis-arm John H. Meyer, before
they searched his home, and they shot
and badly wounded Ed Small, a neg/o,
when he resisted two officers who were
searching his home for liquor.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
AMERICANS MAY SOON BE
ON THE FIRING LINES
ATLANTA. Ga., May 30.—One hun
dred thousand Americans may soon be
on the fightpig lines in France, as
ostentatiously announced by London
yesterday, but this does not mean that
the United States is going to send over
any untrained men. according to arm* -
officers stationed here.
The 100,000 spoken of by Londor ,
when analyzed, consisted of 40,000 to
50,000 Americans already fighting in.
the French. British and Canadian arm
ies, 10,000 doctors and nurses who will
be sent over for work in the hospit
als. 10,000 engineers and railroad
builders who will be sent over to keep
up the lines of communication to the
fighting front, and Pershing’s force < f
80,000 men.
Recently it was declared by Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia in debate on
the floor of the senate that he "was
utterly opposed to sending these un
trained boys whom we are conscript
ing to France in the next twelve
months. I think to send them there
untrained would be criminal, and I do
not believe that any man will dare try
to send them for at least twelve
months. There may be volunteers who
wish to go at once, there may be men
already with the army’ who are train
ed soldiers and ready to go,” b it
these latter, form an entirely different
class from the draft army, which will
be composed. entirely of raw recruit?.
These men will not go to France un
til they are thoroughly trained in
the methods of modern warfare, ift th?
opinion of army officers here, and
their opinion was borne out by no
less an authority than General Leon
ard A. Wood. who made the same
statement in the course of his address
in this city recently.
MERCANTILE MARINE GET

to allow the geratest possible quantity
1 of raw wool to be used for army pur
poses, the requirements of which ’ are
' likely to be increased by the entry of
