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.

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.

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. DAWSON, GA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 31, 1905.

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 Young Man, You Can Dress #* e 2., & Most Fashionably at Little Cost NP ey : | .

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, Ga. 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. VOL. 23--NO. 36. /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.
