8 THE AMERICUS WEEKLY T1MES-REC0RDER. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 27, 1907 MORGANS IN CHURCH IS r CAUSE OF TROUBLE .jBsptists in Atlanta All Split up. TROUBLE SEEMS TO BE GROWING HORSE FELL IN BRIDGE BUT LIFE IS SAVED Fishing Party Has Lively Ex perience. And Secession fromThe Mother Ghurch Is General Among the Members -Much Interest In the 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.

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 legislated out of the State, and was out for all time.
