BEV. AINSWORTH PREACHES ON
THE FRATERNAL ORDERS.
The Well-Known Minister Declares
That Secret Societies Have Their
Effect on the Church.
AtMulberry street church in Macon
Sunday night Rev. W. N. Ainsworth,
¥ho frequently visits Dawson and has
many friends and admirers here,
preached a sermon arraigning secret
orders. The Telegraph quotes him as
saying in the course of his remarks:
“Permit me at this juncture to speak'
aword with weight and emphasis con
terning those great popular move
ments known as secret orders. The
srowth of fraternities is one of the
becullar phases of modern life. The
principle which underlies the move-
ment is the produet of Christianity,
ind «s such it commands my sympa
thy. but it must be potent to the most
“sual observer that the secret order
JUsiness is being largely overdone.
[ tead of confining themselves to the
furnishment of a noble fellowship and
the dispensation of aid to the unfor-
Wnates of the brotherhood the ex
bliotation of these orders has become
® business. Men enter and foster
them fo- business, professional and
political ends. The social feature is
largely loss, or is prostituted to sor-
Gl ‘{)'4"‘7" )SES.
“Itis to be feared that not a few
€0 permit the secret order to become
v Substitute for the church of God.
There 3¢ worthy moral precepts and
Loble <entiments in the manuals of
t]h@m all. But when the purely ethical
“als and charitable work of these or
“ilizations are substituted for the re-
Sleritive work of christianity they
DeCOlne 4 snare. In other sectio_ns of

COL. LONG WILL DEFEND HIM.
Leesburg Man Represents Defaulting
Cashier of Davisboro Bank.
A Sandersville, Ga., special says:
Detective Hewitt arrived here this af
ternoon with Maro S. Potter, who is
charged with embezzling the funds of
the Davisbore bank, and went imme
diately to the law office of Hon. T. W.
Hardwick to fix the bond.
Congressman Hardwick and a broth
er-in-law of Potter, Col. J. R. Long
of Leesburg, represent the defense,
while the prosecution is represented
by Colonels Evans & Evans of this
city. The bond has been fixed by the
sheriff on the advice of the solicitor
general and judge of the Middle cir
cuit at $15,000, although the directors
of the bank were very anxious to have
the amount of the bond fixed at $20,-
000. It is thought that Potter will
have no difticulty in making the re
quired bond. |
Fully two hundred citizens gathered |
around the Holt building in which
Hon. T. W. Hardwick’s law office is
located and manifested deep interest
as to whether or not Potter could be
able to make the required bond. !
SCATTERS $lOO,OOO CHECKS.
A Detroit Man Goes Crazy Over the
Equitable Muddle.
Totally deranged because of long
worrying over the Equitable Life In
surance Company’s squabble C. C.
Cadman, a prominent Detroit business
man, escaped from his home and was
taken in charge by the police while
scattering $lOO,OOO checks among his
friends.
Walking into a drug store Cadman
wrote a check for $lO,OOO and gave it
to a clerk, saying: ‘‘Take this and
haye a time."”’
Meeting Mavor Codd, Cadman gave
him a check for $lOO,OOO.
In Tom Swan’s sporting headquar
ters Cadman gave the proprietor a
check for a similar amount.
(Cadman recently wrote Vice Presi
dent James Hyde expressing his con
fidence in him. Hyde replied in a
lengthy letter, expressing his thanks.
From that time Cadman believed that
he alone could effect an adjustment of
the company’s affairs. He is now in
a padded cell.
TWO BULLETS IN BRAIN.
Yet This Man Lives and Will Finally‘
Get Well. |
A Baltimore dispatch says: To the
amazement of physicians who have
interested themselves in his case Geo.
Horst, an employe of the Monumental
brewery who attempted suicide on
May 3 by shooting himself in the
head, is not only living, but aceording
to present indications will soon be
well enough to get out of the house.
In the attempt to end his life Horst
fired two bullets into his head, and|
both bullets are still there. = One en
tered just above the right ear, while
the other entered just below the right
temple. Under ordinary circumstances
either bullet would have been sufficient
to have caused death.

NEW HOPE FOR CONSUMPTIVES
Washington Doctor Will Take Ship
load of Them to Arctic Regions.
The crusade against tuberculosis,
|which in many respects has been the
'most remarkable in modern medical
‘annals, is given renewed interest by
an impending experiment of Dr. Fred
‘erick Sohon of Washington. Basing
'his course on the assumption that the
germ cannot exist in the frigid lati
tude of the arctic region the doctor
will earry a shipload of consumptives
up beyond the arctic circle this sum
mer, expecting to bring them back
well on the road to recovery.
The doctor’s theories result from
‘his personal experience. He was a
inember of Peary’s expedition of 1897.
Himself a consumptive, he was as
tounded at the discovery that his resi
dence in those frozen regions practi
cally rid him of his complaint. He
made his second aretic trip with the
Peary rescuing party in 1902, taking
advantage of the opportunity to make
exhaustive investigations. The latter
trip confirmed, his conclusions, and
led him to believe that he had hit up
on an ideal plan for the quick and
permanent cure of the dread white
scourge. With the assistance of sev-]
eral business men of a philanthropie
turn of mind he has fitted out a steam
er with all the appurtenances of a
floating sanatorium, and will carry
thirty consumptives for an all-summer
cruise through the waters above the
circle and for short land journeys in
Greemland. s e

! WRAPPED IN THE FLAG.
Mrs. Slaight Endeavored to Stop a
Ball Game. :
Mrs. L. Slaight, a temporary re
former, announced that she would call
the attention of federal officers to what
she terms a violation of the American
'flag when she attempted to stop a
Sunday game of base ball at Hutchin
son, Minn. When the umpire called
‘‘play ball”’ Mrs. Slaight, wrapped in
'a large American flag, majestically
}marched on the diamond, took up a
position between the pitcher’s box and
vainly apparently tried to get the
American flag hit with a pitched ball.
Finally the crowd swarmed on the
field.
Good naturedly surrounding the flag
shrouded woman, the spectators
forced her off the field, flag and all. |
The game then proceeded unmo
lested.
750,000 HAVE DIED IN INDIA.
Terrible Progress of the Plague Is
Reported from There.
Three quarters of a million people
have already died of the plague in
India this year, according to figures
furnished by Indian Secretary Brod
rich in tke house of commons. The
mortality from Jan. 1 to April 1 was
471,744. while another 215,961 suc
cumbed during the four weeks ending
April 29.
It isn’t putting things in soak, is it,
to cast bread upon the waters?
SAYS SITUATION IS SERIOUS.
Untold Damage Has Been Done Far
mers of South Georgia.
Commissioner of Agriculture O. B.
Stevens, who has just returned from
a grip through southeast Georgia,
[sa,vs the great scarcity of farm labor,
coupled with the unprecedented
‘amount of grass in the cotton fields,
is going to do the farmers of south
Georgia untold damage this season.
Fven if they should laterhave a good,
long, dry spell, which is badly need
ed, they would not be able to get
sufficient labor to enable them to get
all of the grass out of the cotton. The
agricultural department has sent out
inquiries to its 1,500 correspondents
in all parts of the state and expects to |
make & publicaiion as to the crop
conditons, as well as to the reductions
in acreage and fertilizers used, about
June 1. ,
GONE WITH THE SHERIFF.
The Town of Greenville Has a Sensa
tion in High Life.
A special from Greenville, Ga.,
says Sheriff Joe McGehay of Merri
wether county has eloped with the
voung and handsome wife of Alkert
Hill, younger brother of Railroad
Commissioner H. Warner Hill, and
one of the most promineut citizens of
the county.
According to the report McGehay,
who has been in love with Mrs. Hill
for some time, drove to her home and
taking “her in the buggy with him
drove through the country to Atlanta.
It is said Mrs. Hill shipped her trunk
to Atlanta several days ago.
Mrs. Hill was formerly Miss Nellie
‘Robinson of LaGrange, and a belle
in that city. She is the granddaugh
ter of the late Congressman Henry R.
Harris. l
The husband, it is reported, has
taken no steps to bring his wife back
to her home.
At the Marion hotel in Atlanta
Monday night there were registered
Joseph McGehay and wife, Tifton,

WOMEN GAMBLERS CAUGHT.
Consternation Reigned Among Fash
ionably Attired Females.
A gambling house for women has
been raided in West Forty-third street
by city deteciive in New York. Gam
ing tables, roulette wheels, racing
charts and telephones were confiscat
ed, and the only man found on the
premises was arrested on charge of
conducting the place.
A dozen or more handsomely garbed
women were leanin% excitedly over the
tables when the police entered. With
sereams of alarm they ran to all parts
of the houseé. Some eseaped over the
roof, but the others were found in the
closets and in the coal cellar.
The women pleaded hard for mercy,
and after taking their addresses and
reading them a severe lecture the po
lice allowed fhem to go. A big crowd
which had assembled on the street
jeered the women as they passed out.

/l)()l'}S NOT REVOLVE ON ITS AXIS
WITH UNIFORM MOTION. §
Acts Just as a Man Standing on a
| Railway Car Does When the
Train Starts Suddenly.
The mathematicians demonstrated
to their own satisfaction some time
ago that the earth does not revolve
on its axis with a perfectly smooth
and uniform motion, but is affected
by what is calied ‘‘libration,”’ or bal
ancing, which makes it appear at reg
ular periods to move now more slow
ly and then slightly faster.
The irregularity is so small that it
appears impossible to make it appre
ciable to the physical senses. Hence
this libration, balancing or wabbling
of the earth was set down as one of
those things of whose truth the scient
ist may be convinced, but which he
is not in a position actually to prove
to laymen.
Recently, however, Mr. Folie, a
French astronomer. has devised a
means by which the wabbling of the
earth becomes actually visible. He
took a leaden disc, in the center of
which was a lense, and suspeneed this
by two fine platinum wires from an
iron bar extending north and south
from a wall running east and west.
The whole is surrounded by an air
tight glass case to protect it from air
currents.
He fixed solidly to the wall under
the iron bar a powerful light. The
rays from this, collected by the lens in
the dise, are projected through a very
small opening in 4 sereen upon a
graduated scale on the opposite side
of the room. He figured that the in
‘ertia of the leaden disc would keep it
in the position given by the velocity
of the earth’s motion at the moment
when the experiment began, but that
the variations of this motion would
affect the iron bar and cause a change
of relative positions between it and
the dise which would be shown by the
movements of the light on the scale.
His calculations have been verified.
At intervals of six hours observers in
Mr. Folie’s laboratory can see the
dot of light move along the scale, and
after a time move back to its original
position. What they have seen is the
effect of the balancing or wabbling of
the earth in its rotation. For a time
the disc has_ been whirling with the
earth on its axis faster or more slow
ly, as the case may be, than the sur
face of the earth itself. The disc has
acted just as a man standing in a
railroad car does when the train stops
or starts suddenly.
The fact about the earth’s motion
thus demonstrated is, of course, of no
practical utility. Yet it is a striking
illustration of the achievements of
science that it is able to give ocular
proof that the motion of the earth, ap
parently so smooth and uniform as to
be absolutely imperceptible, is really
50 irregular that with Yroper arrange
ments men may actually see the globe
wabble on its axis somewhat as does
an imperfectly hung fly wheel.
