ManMnnxtar. VOL. XXV. GOVERNOR BROWN WILL ANNOUNCE NEXT WEEK. It is generally understood that Lext week Gov. Brown’s announ cement of his candidacy for re election will be forthcoming. It is said he will base his announce ment upon his record during the last year as Governor, and will put the matter up to the people, going before them when necessary through newspapers cards as he did m the campaign ot 1908, but ; remaining in his office for the i transaction of official business. If Judge R. B. Russell of the state Court of Appeals should de cide to enter the race, his an nouncement will oe forthcoming about the same time. What the purpose of Hon. L. L. Middlebrooks of Newton is, none of the politicians seem to know, as he has not been 9eun or heard from since the publication of his announcement several days ago It is well-known that Hoke j Smith element generally would not have chosen Hon.H. H. Berry | of Gainesville, a9 the standard bearer of the Smith policies, if they had had anything to do with it. And yet Mr. Perry is one of the most earnest, honest and sin cere advocates of those policies m the state. Every word he utters is founded in a belief as solid as! a rock. But Mr. Perry is .lot a sufficiently forceful or magnetic | campaigner to appeal to them.

Va., May 26. ! “Wild cat evangelism” was de ! nounced to-day at the closiug ses sion of the fiftieth general assem | bly of the Southern Presbyterian j Church. The denunciation was | uttered by Dr. Charles R. Nesbitt |of Nashville, Tenn.. chairman of the assembly’s Committee on j Evangelization, when he was call-! led upon to report on that work. “What is needed” said he, | “is a sane evangelism. There is a great deal of evangelism to-day that is answerable to no church It is n wild oat evangelism. It is; doing more to prejudice this arm ' nf the service than any two things I at work m this land.” Before adjourning to meet next ! spring at Louisville, Ky., a mini-1 ber of reports were acted upon. The attitude of the church to-I i ward women came up in the hurry for adjournment. The query was I from the Lafayette Church of New Orleans, La., as to whether the church still objected to women addressing mixed assemblies of ! men and women, j “There has been no change in the settled policy of our denomi nation m tins matter,” was the reply the assembly made. The bothersome question of fix ing the organization of women’s! missionary unions of presbyteries ] on a constitutional basis was re i ferred to an ad interim committee to report at the next assembly.

Cordele, Ga., May 80.—Quite a j sensation was created in Cordele to-day when it was rumored that a dead body was concealed in the bottom of a coal car which was | received here from Empire, Ala., , by the Atlanta Birmingham and Atlantic Railway and consigned to \V. M. Legg at Albany. Hundreds of persons viewed the car afar off because the stench from the bodv was so great that no one would venture near it. The car was transferred, to the Sea board Air Line tracks and this railroad refused to receive it and set it back on the A. B. and A. track on account of the stench. The negroes working for the railroad refused to unload the car even at the peril of their jobs,and i the car was then taken to the country and set on a side track five miles east of Cordele. The people who have seen the overalls through a crevice in the bottom of the car maintain that it is the dead body of a man as they can see plainly the clothing. A theory advanced is that a man was murdered at the mines! and his body placed in the bottom of the car and the coal was lead ed on the body. FROM TOOMBS COUNTY LOCAL.

Rx-Sh«r ltf W. B. hyena, are to be tried | (for the murder of Fleming Smith. | 1 which occurred at, Jesup, Wayne county, over two years ago. These men have once been tried and con victed and sentenced to life un j prisonmont, tiut svere granted a new trial by the supreme court |on the ground that one of the i jurors was related to some one in | Wrested m the case. The lirst j trial occurred at Jesup and the j case was called again a few weeks I ago, but after exhausting the jury ! box, only seven jurors could be I secured, and a charge of venue fol lowed, the cases being trims ferr ied to the city. Another case of great, interest is what, is known as the now turn ons Way cross bank cases in which a number of the best known bnsi-: I ness men of Wuycross, who were i connected with a defuut. bunk, j ure to he tried on a criminal ! charge.

A decree was taken disbarring Rldredge Cutts, and J . W. Hay good from practice in the state and federal courts, unless the pending suits in which t ile South ern Realty and Investment Com pany figures are dismissed within the next sixty days. It appears that the above named company is si corporation chartered under l the laws of South Dakota and do-j mg business in Georgia. It was held that the corporat ion was a mere sham. It was stated that, proceedings have been instituted to dissolve the corporation. The case was hard fought by both sides and owing to the prominence of the attorneys bus attracted at tent ion. The gist of Judge Speer’s rul ing ih that, no doubt both Hay good and Cutts wore originally sincere hi their confidence ot the legality of the eompuny, but that when they instituted suit in its name after the supreme court, had pronounced the concern a mere sham they placed themselves in j bud faith and liable to disbar inient. If within the next sixty ilavs they withdraw all suits and “call off” the Southern Realty and Investment Company as an active agent in the courts, let ting it die as it were, a natural death, thereby showing their good faith in the matter, till will be well with them. If they push present j suits to recover for the company u 1 really characterized as u sham, then they convict ac cording to the ruling of Judge Speer of acting in bud faith, and will necessairly fie disbarred.
