A few days ago the Mayor of Doug
. laa while riding in an automobile was
run do,wn and Hilled. Railroads put
> lip signs which read “Stop. Look,
1 Listen/’ If people woaid heed that
warning such disasters would be
avoided. Not long ago a whole auto
' mobile full of people were killed near
Monticello, because they just trusted
to luck and didn’t stop, look and lis
ten. Os course, the railroad company
as usual, was held liable.
The death of Dr. Harris by suicide
at Cartersville Sunday was rather an
unhappy ending to the charming
story written by his wife a short
while ago entitled “A Circuit Rider’s
Wife,” in which he was the heroic
circuit r der, He had previously
lost his health, and perhaps his mind.
We trust the farmers are making
all the money now that they need.
'Looks like they ought to be laying
up some of the fine gold ahd silver,
with the present price of cotton and
fairly good crop,
The colleges are opening up and
all claim larger enrollment than ever.
A man in Milwaukee a few days
ago won a pocket knife by drinkins' a
quart of whiskey at one drink and dy
ing, Another went over the falls at
Niagara just for the notoriety. That
is one way to get in the limelight.
That hobble skirt is a Lula. Bird.
It binds up the legs so that the ladi
can take steps about six inches long,
and it is impossible to step up 01
down, so that the style is to jump up
and down the.vete4ts-a.lld street-curbs.
Collier’s for last week fully illustrates
1 the difficulties of the aforesaid ridicu
lous skirt' The hats are barrel
shaped with various varments and
birds nailed to the sides.- Let them
go as far as they like.
We think the Governor’s action in
pardoning Mr. Cabaniss and Mr. Orr
f was very commendable. They were
found guilty because tliey -ran the old
bank too loosely, and befriended too
many people who didn’t deserve it.
'Nobody believes they Jmbezzl.ed the
money. Mr. Orr has served two
- years, but Mr. Cabaniss had never
worn the stripes when he was pardon
ed.
Macon is doing some elaborate ad-,
vertising for the State Fair to be held
there the latter part of October and
the first iftf November. They propose
to make it the biggest State Fair ever
held, better exhibits, horse racing, ‘
airships and other attractions.

County will open on Monday Oct. 24th

rons will be allowed the selection of

SENSATION SPRUNG
IN CHURCH CIRCLES
Savannah Pastor Ousts Elders
Seeking His Own Scalp.
TEN WERE DISPOSSESSED
Rev. W. A. Nesbit, at One Time a
Merchant of Atlanta, but Now Pas
tor of Presbyterian Church in Sa
vannah, Suspends Elders Who Were
Fighting Him.
A sensation was sprung In church
circles in Savannah when Rev. W. A.
Nisbit, pastor of Westminster Pres
byterian church dispossessed ten of
the fourteen elders and deacons of
the church who voted to ask for his
realgiSation several weeks ago. This
not prevents the elders and deacons
from taking the sacrament or per
forming any official duties in church
or Sunday school.
Among those “dispossessed" a:e
the superintendent of the Sunday
school, three of the assistant super
intendents and severs! teachers. The
act practically disorganizes the Sun
day schook
The “dispossessiem’’ fo'lowed the ■
refusal of the eiders and deacons of ]
the church to continue their duties ■
as such until th» pastor resigns ac
cording to a request made by eleven
of them.
The refusal of the resignation was
made on the point that the period of
the pastoi s usefulness to the church
had parsed.
After the request for his resigua- j
tion was made, the pastor announced
that an offer had been made by a I
donor, whom he did not name, to
erect a $40,000 memorial church to
bear the name of the donor, and that
he had accepted the offer. The dea
cons took the position that as the
building committee of the church they
ought to have been consulted. They
wanted to accept the donation un
der the condition that the plans ot
the donor would be acceptable to
them.
In a congregational meeting the j
members ot the congregation stood j
bj the pastor, and the deacons and I
elders, among whom are some of the
best known financial and business
men in the city, gave up their books
and declined to continue their duties
further. This was followed by the pas
toi “dispossessing” them.
This act-is being contested by the
deacous and elders, who c alm the
pastor cennot take this step and that
muy the presbytery can excommuni
cate them,. ... - ■' |
A special meeting of the Savannah <
presbytery has been called to pass ]
upon the matter. The deacons and
elders will ask the presbytery to sei -
er the pastoral relations of Mr. Nis
bet with the church.
Before entering the ministry, about
thirty yeais ago, Rev. W. A. Nisbet
was a promintnt furniture merchant
of Atlanta.
ELIMINATE MIDDLEMAN.
’ ' ]
Texas and Oklahoma Unions Form j
Plan to Transact Business Direct.
It was announced at Galveston by
the president of the.Farmers’ Union]
of Texas and Oklahoma, that a deter- i
mined effort will be made this season ]
to eliminate the middleman in mar- 1
keting cotton from that section, As ]
a result of the Galveston bankers ano ■
cotton dealers coming to the assist- ]
ance of th*> cotton producers of Texas
and Oklahoma during the .financ’ai
troubles of 1907 and 1906, the Farm
ers' Union contracted to handle the
cotton bf its members through the !
port of Galveston last season. This
was successfully accomplished and
tee contract has just been renewed
for another year.
Speaking of the matter. President
Loudermilk, of the union, said Gal
veston was selected because it is the
purpose of the union’s selling agenev
to bring cotton producers directly in
touch with the spinners and dealers, |
thus cutting out the middlemen, who
are a tax alike on the producer and
the spinner.
