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.
BRILLIANT CLOSE OF
A SUCCESFUL SCHOOL,
Many of the schools of the coun
ty have during the pa3t three or
tour weeks celebrated their clos
ing exercises, with more or less
ceremony, but among the real en
joyable affairs was the closing ex
ercises of the Sadie school, which
has been taught by Miss Charlotte
Sharpe.
Exercises wjire held May 19th,
in the form of a picnic, which
was largely attended and enjoy
ed by all present. Among the ex
ercises of the day was an address
by County School Commissioner
A. B. Hutcheson. The Sadie
school is one of the best in the
county, and always has a compe
tent teacher. Miss Sharpe is to
be congratulated on the success of
the schorl, while the patrons are
to be congratulated on their choice
of a teacher.

WILD CAT EVANGELISM. |
' Lewisburg, W. 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.

MT. VERNON. GEORGIA, THURSDAY. JUNE 2, 1910-
BODY OF A MAN
! FOUND IN CAR OF COAL.
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.

TWO IMPORTANT CASES.
ARE SET FOR TRIAL.
Brunswiek, (Ja., May 81.—The
session of the Glynn superior
court which convenes on the first
.Monday in June w ill unquestion
ably he one of the most interest
ing in the history of south Geor
i gia, owing to the fact that a mim
! bei of very important cases troin
I other counties in the state will
I be tried in Brunswick,
i Among these are cases which
are of general interest,. 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. These cases were like-1
wise transferred from Waycrossi
to this city. The bankers are rep- i
j resented by an array of aMe coun
sel. headed oy Congressman W.|

Judge A. D. Gale, of Brunswick,
assisted by several others, are
prosecuting the cases
In the Lyons case at least a doz

WITHDRAWAL OF CASH
STOPS PROCEEDINGS,
Jackson, Ga .May 27 —The dis
barment proceedings in the case
: of Cutis and Haygood, attorneys
jof Fitzgerald, which have been
'going on in the United States
Court, sitting at Indian Springs
are closed.
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.
