Homes for tke Delegates.
By iovitatiou tbe an mi >1 confer
ence of the Epwortb Leagues
the South Macon district will be
held at Perry this year, beginning
on September 23rd an 1 continuing
through the 25th'.
It is pxpected that Ht least 75
delegates will attend, and with
their usual hospitality, <>ur prople
will give tlipse visitors cordial
greeting and e-i-tg-taimnent’
committee of tbe Perry League
calledo.u a number uf mir citizens
tnis week seekiug information as to
homes for the delegates during
the sessiou of the conference So
far enough homes have not been
offered, but there need be no un
easiness on this score, as our peo
pie are too cleverly hospitable for
them to fail to open their doors to
these visitors who will come in be
half of a good cause at the earnest
invitatiou of the delegates of the
Perry League who attended the
conference at Vienna last year. It
is necessary, however, for the open
homes to be made known as early
as possible, in order that the dis
trict secretary may be definitely
informed, and thus prevent confu
sion when the delegates arrive.
Any citizens willing to open their
homes to delegates, who have not
been approached by the committee,
can give the information at this of
fice, or to any member of the com
mittee: Missis Marie Nunn, Susie
Giles and May Hodges.
An entertaining and instructive
program will bs presented, and all
who feel interested are cordially
invited to attend the session of the
conference, at the Methodist
church.
Burglar Quickly Caught.
At about 4 o’clock last Friday
afternoon John H. W. Brown was
placed in jail at Perry under a war
rant for burglary, within 20 hours
after tbe discovery of the crime.
The burglary was committed
Sunday night while Mr. Brown
Riley and family were away from
home, attending Echeconnee camp
meeting. The crime was not dis
covered until Mr. Riley and family
returned home Thursday night.
Through information given by
two colored men, the identity of
the burglar and his whereabouts
were made known Friday morning.
Deputy Sheriff Riley went to
Fort Valley on the noon train, and
before 2 P. M. had captured the
burglar with the assistance of Mar
shall Troutman and other citizens
of Foit Valley. The capture was
only effected after a spirited race
through alleys and streets of the
town.
This negro ia undoubtedly a
professional thief, as the bag in
which the stolen goods were found
contained several pairs of pants,
coats, collars, cuffs, shoes, a mule
bridle, a pair of nickle plated curl
ing irons, a nickel plated physi
cian’s instrument and other arti
cles.
Mr. Riley recovered everything
stolen from his house.
Civil vs Military.
There was a wordy conflict be
tween civil and military authorities
at Griffin last week, iD which the
military was victor.
Several weeks ago a man giving
his name as Ed Mallary hired a
bicycle from a Fort Valley mer
chant to ride a few miles into the
country, representing himself to
be an officer going out to make an
arrest.
Several days passed, and the bi
cycle was not returned, then a war
rant for larceny after trust was is
sued, Mallary was located, and
when an effort to arrest him was
made he escaped by running. The
next heard from him was at Camp
Northern, where he was a private
in the Third Ga. Regiment.
An effort to secure him by the
Griffin Chief of police failed. Then
Sheriff Cooper forwarded the war
rant to the sheriff of Spalding
county, writing that officer a letter
explaining the circumstances upon
which the warrant was based. Un
der the warrant Mallary was ar
rested, but an appeal to Col. Cand
ler, in command of the regiment,
resulted in his release and all ex
postulations to the contrary were
futile.
To people under civil law this
incident seems strange. It ap
pears that military law is supreme
when it affects Uncle Sam’s sol
diers.
If these soldiers are truly ex
empt from prosecution for viola
tion of criminal law, then the few
er soldiers we have in these
parts will be beet for the country

Cotton is materially injured id

The drouth in the spring and ex

gust have given the crop a set
back from which it cannot recover.
Corn is perhaps better than an
average crop. Farmers failed to
save much good fodder od account
of frequent'and copious rains The
hay crop is promising, and if they
succeed iu harvesting that useful
feed they can better afford to lose
their fodder.
The third anniversary of the
celebration of the Woman’s For
eign Missionary Society took place
at Judge King’s residence Friday
evening and was indeed a pleasant
and instructive occasiou. Mrs. R
VV. McDonald delivered an address
which wa3 fraught with much in
terest and information to the soci
ety.. Having spent some time in
Mexico in the missionary cause, she
could give many practical ideas and
useful information concerning the
good work. Her address was giv
en the closest attention and inspir
ed new life into the work.
Very interesting papers were
read during the meeting by Mrs.
C. H. Thompson, Mrs. J. P. New
man and Miss Ellen King. Their
respective subjects were: “Look
ing, Backward,” “Looking For
ward,” and “A General Summary
of the Missionary Work.” The
papers elicited many compliments
and we^e replete with encouraging
words and noble sentiments for
the cause of Christ’s kingdom
Refreshments were served after
the exercises had conclnded, of
which all partook and enjoyed im
mensely. To a kind la^y friend
