A<i Macon, Ga,
If reports are true as to gambling ln
the city of Macon, the courts and the
mayor and council have one of the
most difficult problems now In their
hands ever known in their dealing with
a lawless citizenship. It is said that
not more than a month has passed
since the professional gamblers of Ma
tron began a determined effort to run
despite the enforcement of the law,
both Municipal and state. With the
beginning of this alleged effort among
the gambling classes in Macon the
county officials and the city officials
say- they have begun a crusade which
has been productive of startling reve
lations.
Many charges have been preferred
against Individual gamblers In Macon
during the past two months, but only
recently have the officials claimed to
have discovered that there is a con
certed movement which is calculated
to foil every effort of the law to break
up gambling.
In the city council meeting last
Tuesday night there was a report from
the chief of police which gave the
names of above fifteen clubs In Macon,
and u majority of these clubs had for
their heads individuals who are well
known to the police and the county
authorities as professional gamblers.
Some of the men who have been re
cently convicted in the city court are
the heads of chartered clubs in the city
Macon, and these charters have
been issued for the most part during
the last sixty days from the superior
court of Bibb county.
It is said, that the gamblers have
determined to run with these charters
despite the efforts of the municipal
county authorities and many of the
officials have realized that there is a
somewhat puzzling problem to bi
solved. It Is claimed by these gam
biers, according to what has been said
one of the city officials,, that ths
law cannot come Into one of these
chartered clubs, no matter what may
the condition of affairs on the in
side. It is further said that this opin
ion of the gamblers Is based on what
occurred to the chief of police and hla
force in Macon a number of years ago.
Some one states that when Chief But-
ner and a squad of officers went into
closed club by force the city was
sued and the case went to the supreme
court, with the result that the gam
blers won out, the court stating thnt
the city had no right to break Into the
rooms of the club. This case Is often
cited now, according to statements
from the oldest gamblers of the city.
Those who have been engaged ln the
present crusade against the gamblers
say they have many times met with
statement from a professional which
reveals that the gambler In Macon
holds up the Butner case as law.
It Is stated by olty officials that
nearly a year ago the gambling Joints
of the city known to be open were
shut up nnd have been kept closed.
Now and then one has been pulled, and
Is said thnt the gamblers have been
intlmlnted as far as the open club is
concerned.
At present it Is charged by the city
officials and the county authorities
that these chartered cluba have been
opened as a result. The records of the
superior court show the Issue of a very
large number of charters for clubs
said to be of a social character. The
phrase, "for the social Intercourse of
Its members." Is expressed In nearly
all of the charters of these social clubs
now running ns gambling houses. It
said that nearly all of them con
tained the names of some reputable
citizens when the charters were Is
sued. but the names of presidents or
managers did not appear. The namea
of the . managers ln some of the clubs
in council last Tuesday nlgtyt produced
much laughter.
The city authorities say they are In
possession of Information regarding
the tactlca of these gambling clubs
which will enable the officials to fight
the evil. It Is aald that in some of
them the fee of membership la a small
sum and often when a stranger comes
to town he is made a member and la
Invited to take part In the proceedings
of the meetings. If he can be Induced
to enter the game which has been pre
arranged for him, the work la done and
he is pulled, It Is claimed by the offi
cials that there la certain Information
ln their hands which may asslat In
checking gambling during the coming
State Fair. This information la to the
effect that these gamblers have pre
pared a large number of keys to the
club rooms with a purpose of doing a - „ .. , - »—•—
land office bu.lneu. They are charged ,r . n ™ ,h ? t cl . tJr
with having a systematized arrange- ” *
ment with men who will look for new
comers and all who can be induced to
become members are to be given keys
and admitted to these cluba. It la
known that the fee of membership has
been paid many tlmea by a gambler in
order to get the new man Into the club
room. Once tnalde the man who has
charge of the green member would In
conjunction with the other members
until the money has been won.
The police force • has been working
qnder the quiet instructions of the
mayor and council and the county au
thorities have conducted a crusade,
but all the officials believe that there
Is at present more gambling In Macon
than in many years. There is also said
to be more secret planning against the
gamblers than has ever been done and
within the next alx months something
interesting may be expected.
The city authorities say they, will
never stop until this part of lawless
ness In the city ceases. Some of the
counctlmen are determined and It waa
through the quiet efforts of one
these officials a club waa upcet recent
ly and three convictions in the courts
with a thousand dollars In fines was
the result of the Investigation.
The detectives were the workers In
another game which was broken Into
and the county officials have brought
would be in M
the remains.
The statements made In the tele
gram which was received by Mr. Cher
ry were meagre to the extreme. Neith

place nor in what manner had he been

Evacuating Mukden.
BERLIN. 8ept. 9.—A dispatch
the Lokal Anzler from Mukden timed
11:40 a. m. today, says the evacuation
of Mukden Is now In progress and adds
that the Japanese have not yet crossed
the river Hun. which Hows a few miles I toTioar

While Oklahoma nnd Indian territo
ries, he says, will hnvo a fine crop,
they only mnrket about one-hnlf of
hat Georgia does at the most, 760,000
hales being the present estimate.
Texas Is suffering considerably from
the boll weevil nnd worm. With their
supposed increased acreage the crop
will fall short of the past year.
The outlook today, I must con
fess," said he, "Is very gloomy to what
It was six weeks ago, the farmers' only
redemption being a late frost and the
second crop."
Bible Institute for Negro Preachers
Organized in Macon.
A John C. Martin Bible Institute
was permanently organized In Macon
by Rev. S. G. Miller, D. D., nnd Rev.
M. M. Ponton, field superintendent. A
large and enthusiastic audience gath
ered at the First Baptist church, col
ored, and showed the highest appreci
ation. of the coming ot Mr. Martin's
representatives to Macon.
After the regular religious exercises
Rev. W. G. Johnson, D. D., pastor of
the church, Introduced Rev. Ponton,
who in a short speech, reviewing the
work under this fund done during the
last year. Introduced Rev. 8. O. Miller,
D. D., who spoke In the plainest Inn
gunge possible of the negro's condition
In this country nnd gave them some
very hopeful aqd helpful advice along
lines of moral, religious and Intellect
ual development.
He said: "For the moral, Intellect
ual and religious development of the
negro cannot be found In politics; com
mercialism and social equality will not
solve that problem und better the
gro's condition, nnd It remains for the
negro prenchor, in whose hnnds Is the
destiny of the rnce. to begin to solve
this problem, nnd free this people from
the slavery of Ignorance nnd sin." He
characterized the negro preacher ns
the leader and teacher of hls rnce In
all these things nnd along those lines
which must tell for hls uplift, end yet,
he said, "among the four learned pro
fessions, law. medicine, preaching nnd
tenchtng, that of preaching Is the most
Ignorant among negroes." The pur
pose of this movement Is to help these
lenders, these preachers, upon whom
the people are looking nnd depending
for thnt light and life the race
much needs.
A course of study wns presented to
the preachers, Sunday nnd public
school teachers, church officers and
Christian lay workers, by which
systematic coourse of Rlble study can
he completed In three years, at the end
of which a certificate of graduation
will be granted to each successful can
didate
This course of study Is to be tnken
