Result
ATLANTA, GA, Sept 25.—(Special)
—Four hundred and fifty members
of the Primitive Baptist church in
Atlanta are watching with great in
terest what threatens to be the great
est spilt in the church ranks since
1837, when the denomination now
known as the Missionary’ Baptists cut
loose from the mother church be
cause of a disagreement on the ques
tion of missions.
The present dissention is confined
to the twelve churches in Georgia,
which have seceded from the mother
church because of differences grow
ing out of the use of organs in church
worship, the admission to fellowship
of persons belonging to secret or
ders, the question of church soveren
lty, Sunday schools and church socie
ties, none of which are tolerated by
the Primitive Baptists in their church
organization.
The twelve seceding churches will
hold a conference next Friday, Satur
day and Sunday at Sharon church for
the purpose of organizing an inde
pendent church organization, and it
is feared that there will be other de
fections from the mother church be
fore the controversy is finally end
ed.
The Primitive Baptists, frequently
called "Hardshells" and “Ironsides,”
believe in election and predestination,
the calling of God, washing of feet,
and the sovereignty of the church.
They do not suffer the use of instru
mental music in churches, Sunday
schools and church societies, fellow
ship with members of secret orders,
mission work and theological semin
aries.
Cures Hay Fever and Summer Cold.
A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana,
writes: “Last year I suffered for three
months with a summer cold so dis
tressing that it interfered with my
business. I had many of the symptoms
of hay fever, and a doctor’s prescrip
tion did not reach my case, and 1
took several medicines which seemed
to only aggravate my case. Fortunate
ly I insisted upon having Foley’s Hon
ey and Tar in the yellow package, and
itqulckly cured me. My wife has
since used Foley’s Honey and Tar
with the same success." Sold by all
druggists.
Messrs. Arthur Rylander and Oscar
Loving were looking yesterday for a
runaway horse that had tumbled into
a railway trestle, swam a millpond,
outrun a fast Central Railway pass
enger train, and then took to the
woods.
And at last reports this equine
prodigy was still in the timber unless,
like Maud, he had kicked the train
off the track and kicked the old mill
pond dry.
Wells' mill was the scene of the
fearful experience, and the previous
night the time.
These disciples of Isaac Walton
were fishing at the mill, and had an-
Americus—and fodder.
Soon they heard a crash, and knew
full well the meaning. The horse had
fallen into a trestle a short distance
from the mill.
They hurried to the rescue, and
found the nag, as expected, wedged
down between the crossties. It re
quired an hour's hard work to prize
him out—valuable time when the
fish were biting best
As the nag regained his feet on
the trestle he astonished the owners
by plunging headlong into the pond
from that dizzy height. That settled
it, and they prepared for a walk to
town while lamenting slightly the loss
of their steed.
But the horse was game and had no
idea of race suiuide.
By the bright moonlight the men
saw him swim across the pond and
again plant himself squarely and de
fiantly on the railroad.
Mr. Rylander set out to catch him,
not having a gun at hand wherewith
to stop him otherwise, and then began
a lively sprint of three miles. The
old horse kept the track ,and the "dou
ble header” thus rushed on towards
Americus.
Very soon Mr. Rylander heard the
approach of the passenger train from
Montgomery, and, fearing a possible
wreck, he flagged it and told the en
gineer of the presence of the horse
down the track. What the engineer
said went up in smoke.
The old horse either outran the
train to Americus, or else took to the
woods, as he has not since been seen
here.

SYLVESTER, GA, SepL 24.—
(Special)—Governor Hoke Smith ad
dressed a great gathering of the
farmers of Worth county and citi
zens generally here today, , many rep
resentative people of neighboring
counties making up the great con
course attracted here by the Gover
nor's presence. The burden of his
address to the farmers was the ab
solute necessity of producing upon
the farm supplies needed in Its main
tenance. Home supplies, the Gover
nor said, must be produced at home
and not in the fields and slaughter
houses of the West Gov. Smith again
ventured a little advice upon the cot
ton crop, this time urging upon the
farmers the necessity of marketing
their bales slowly and in this manner
securing adequate price, which he
though should be fifteen cents. Upon
the subject of State prohibition he
congratulated the people of Georgia
upon the fact that liquor had been hospital, performed with the hope of I manufacturers' direct?'Cteth^bondiid

out for all time.

Next Saturday, 28th, Is Orphan's

of the various Institutions where
orphans are cared for, and sympathiz
ers with unfortunate humanity gen
erally, will set aside the proceeds of
the day's labor and donate It to some
home for orphans of which there are
several In Georgia. The practice of
setting aside the earnings of this
day for such a noble cause was be
gun a few years ago and so heartily
have the good people fallen In with

been rendered these struggling and
praiseworthy institutions. It is one
of the red-letter days of the calendar

therless children. Kind-hearted peo

tribute generously to this fund for the
helpless little ones. ,
