CATHOLICS LEAD
IN A RELIGIOUS
CENSUS OF CAMP
NEW YORK, March 2. —Returns of
a religious census of Camp Logan, in
Houston, Tex., just received in New
York, show seventy-four denominations
represented in the total of 32,079 offi
cers nad men in the camp. A notice
able feature of the report is that some
cf those questioned declared them
selves “socialists,” and this was set
down in the census as a religion.
Catholics easily led in the total,
with 10,786 men. There were 5,624
Method'sts, 3,487 Baptists, 2,752 L uth
erans, 1,370 Christians and 1,197 Epis-,
copalians. Among other denomina
tions listed were Mohammedans, Holy
Rollers, Theosophists, Moravians, 1
Golden Rulers, Buddhists, Sweden
borgians and Pentecostals. The cen
sus takers in their rounds heard many
interesting things. In one company
were three brothers named Schmidt,
and everything about them proved
their blood to be German, save the
one element of American patriotism.
All were of draft age, but all volun
teered. Their father, a farmer in
Nebraska, called them before him and
told them to go and fight. They were
entitled to claim exemption as nec
essary agricultural workers, but their
father told them: “ can hire men
who can’t fight to help me run the
farm. You boys can fight, so go to
it.” And they went.
A SAFE TESI
For those who are in need of a
remedy for kidney troubles and back
ache, it is a good plan to try Doan’s
Kidney Pills. They are strongly
recommended by Americus people.
Mrs. Alice L. Cobb, 630 Forsyth
street, Americus, says: “I was sub
ject to attacks of pain across the small
of my back. Some times I had dull
headaches, felt languid and had but
little energy. I was advised to try
Doan’s Kidney Pills and since using
them, have been feeling much better.
They relieved me of the pain in my
back and my kidneys became normal.”
(Statement given March 28, 1908.)
LASTING RESULTS
Over five years later, Mrs. Cobb
said: “No one could be more glad
than I to again recommend Doan’s
Kidney Pills. I haven’t needed any
kidney medicine since I endorsed
Doan’s before.”
Price 60c, at al’ dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Cobb had. Foster-Milburn Co,

RETURNS STOLEN
RED CROSS FUNDS
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., March 2.
A patriotic burglar, a housebreaker
and thief, who puts loyalty above loot
and love of country above swag, has
come to the front in Spackenhill, near
here. This unnamed plundering pa
triot entered the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Wilfred Burhans, in Spackenhill,
one Sunday recently, while the family
were at church, and stole $5.60 which
he found in a drawer. The money be
longed to Genevieve, the ten-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Burhans.
She had made it from the sale of veg
etables from her own garden and was
going to contribute it to the Red
Cross.
When Genevieve discovered her loss
she was inconsolable. Also she was
hopping mad. Soon all the neighbors
knew what had happened and the
story spread throughout the neighbor
hood. It must have reached the ears of
the burglar, too, for yesterday Gene
vieve heard directly from him. She
f< und a note in her father’s letter box
and in the note was the $5.60 that had
been stolen. This is what the note
said:
‘‘l was broken and went into the
house to look for change while you
were at church last Sunday. When I
learned that the money was for the
Red Cross I made up my mind to re
turn it. I am too old to fight, but I
wouldn’t take money that will help the
soldiers.”
The burglar forgot to sign the note.

3THE AMERICUS fIMES-RECORDEA
T. S. Gardner Dead.
Thomas S. Gardner was born at
Bloomingdale, Tenn., about 38 years
ago, and departed this life at 6:30 p
m., on Jan. 30, 1918. Funeral ser
vices were conducted at his home by
Rev. A. C. Ketron, and Rev. S. G.
Ketron, and the body laid to rest in
the family burial ground on the “Idle
wild” farm, to await the resurrection
of the just.
At his own request two special songs
were used at the home, and two other
special songs at the grave. These
were sung by Prof. H. F. Ketron W.
1.. Foueh and a number of other
friends.
About ten years ago Brother Tom
was married to Miss Irene Harris of
Dawson Georgia, and for quite a while
they made their home at Americus,
Ga., where he formed a large circle of
friends. For many years lie was a
drummer and travelled extensively
through the Southern states.
At length, finding himself in bad
health, he retired to his farm at his
old home in Sullivan county, Tenn.,
and for the last two years he declined
very rapidly, until he fell peacefully
to sleep in the arms of Jesus.
Being perfectly conscious until the
end came, he talked freely of his con
dition and expressed a desire to go
and to b e with his Saviour, bidding
his friends good-bye, and asking them
to meet him in Heaven.
At an early age he became a Christ
ian, under the ministry of the Rev. S.
G. Ketron, and united wiyi the Meth
odist Episcopal church, to which he
remained true until he went to join
the Church Triumphant, “which is
without fault before the throne of
God.”
It was the writer’s privilege to know
him in boyhood, and to be associated
with his as a schoolmate, and to re
member him kindly for his many en
viable qualities, and to esteem him as
a special friend.
His departure is mourned by many
more people than we are able to num

I
believeth in me, though he weret dead,
yet shall he live.”
“Weeping may endure for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning.”
