MESSENGER TIED TO THE FLOOR
‘Bold Deed Was Daringly Execu-
ted But Outlaws Secured Only
From $200 to $300.
| Express Agent,J. N. White of At-
Ianta, whose run is on the Central of
Georgio railway between Atlanta and
Savannah, was the victim Friday morn-
iug of one of the most daring express
robberics that has been committed in
| Georgia in years.
. ‘The robbers, two white mon, over-
powered, blindfolded and bound the
messenger and proceeded to rifle the
small safe, from which they secured,
according to tho officials of the Atlanta
office, not sore than $300 and _proba-
bly “not $200, hey left behind
a package of $1,000 in silver, which
was too heary for them to lug olf and
muko a successful escape.
The robbery occurred between 12
and Lo’clock in the morning on the
train whick left Atlanta the night be-
fore at 9 o'clock, and which left Macon
afew minutes alter midnight for Sa-
vannab.
Just as the train was pulling out of
the Macon depot two white men ap-
peared in the forward door of the ex-
Presscar, which for some reason was
unlocked, and ono of them.stated that
they had a letter for the messenger, at
the same timo handing him an ad-
dressed envelope.
As the letter was banded the mes-
songer the two men pushed their way
through the door into the car when
Messenger White looked 'up from the
envelope he was gazing into the muz-
zles of a couple of revolvers which
were in dangerous proximity to his
head.
By this time tho train was pretty
well under headway, and oven if it
bad uot been the messenger could not
have called for help, threatened as ho
was by two such ugly weapons.
While ono of the robbers kept White
covered with his pistol the other put
an old sack over iis head and tied it,
completely and effectually blindfold-
ing him. His hands were then tied
behind his back, his feet were secure-
ly bound aud then he was tied to the
floor of the car, the cords being passed
through the wooden grating which
covered the floor.
‘This was the condition in which the
express messenger was, found when
the train reached Gordon, about twen-
ty miles east of Macon and which was
tho first stop made after leaving
Macon.
Wien retensed he told the story of
how ke had been held up and bound
while the robbers went through the
way safe and rifled the money packages
it contained,
‘Tho robbers made an effort to got
into the through safe and threatened
the life of Messenger White if ho did
not tell them how to open it. Asa
gaatter of fact, however, he did not
now the combiration of this eafe and
could not give it to them. The com-
bination of this safe is known only to
officials in Atlanta, Macon and Savan-
nab, and it is opened only at these
points, Not being supplied with dy-
namito, the robbera imade no attempt,
to get at the contents of the big safe,
but satisfied thomselves with going
through the way safe.
An investigation of the case made
by the express and railroad officials in
Savannan shows that the train was go-
ing at a too rapid rate between Macon
and Gordon for any one-to have
alighted from.it with safety, and the
belief is that the robbers jumped out
23 the train slowed up at” Gordon and
made their way into tho-woods.
The mail clerk inthe next car to
the express car heard Messenger
White's call for help as svon as the
train stopped at Gordon and went to
his relief. -

ALLEGED ROBBERS IN TOILS.
Two Men Are Held For Looting
Express Car on Central Rail-
Way--Une Contlesses,
O'Neill W. Chestnut is under arrest
in Macon, charged with being one of
the two men who, boarded the express
car on the Central train some days ago
and robbed Express Messenger White,
after seizing him at the point of a re-
volver, tieing and binding him.
Chestant has been positively identi-
fied by Messenger White-and has con-
fessed to his part in tho robbery.
Chestnnt’s partner in the robbery is
C. B. Jordan, and Jordan was arrested
in Atlant@Iast Monday night on tel-
egraphic advices sent by the Macon
police authorities and express officials.
Within fifteen hours after the rob-
Dery Chestnut was arrested in his bed-
room at the Fdgerton house, in Ma-
con, opposite the express office, by
Lientenant Grace and Policemen Glenn
and Hicks. The srrest was a fine
pieco of detective work, 7
- Although the arrest was made on
last Friday night at 10 o'clock, the
police anthorities kept the matter
quiet in order» that Jordan might be
captured. s
In the office of the chief of police
Express Messenger White has posi-
tively identified Chestnut in the pres-
ence of the chief of -palico and the
folloising officials of tne Southern Ex-
press company, who had gone to Mu-
con to investigate the robbery; Divis-
ion Superintendent Hulbert, of At-
lanta; Assistant General Manager
Mark O'Brien, of Chattanooga, and
Detective Paddy Byrno,
On Sunday afternoon Chestnut con-
fessed the robbery to the chief ot po-
liea in his office and on Sunday night
repented it in the chief's office in tho
presence of the chief and express offi-
cials. Chestnut was very remorseful
and said he deeply regretted having
cemmitted the robbery. He said
if he had not been suffering for the
want of bread and had not beon drunk
at the time he would never hare done
the deed.
Jordan and Chestnut have had the
robbery in contemplation for several
weeks and made two trips to Savanna
in order to Jearn the run of the trains,
tho lay of the land, and.as to the best
place to jump off the train after the
commission of therobbery. The cord
with which Messenger White was tied
was bought some time ago in Savan-
nah for the purpose.
Chestnut, in his confession, practi-
cally confirmed the statement inade by
Messenger~ White of the robbery.
Chestnut says that be and Jordan
boarded the express car as the train
started ont of the Macon depot. Tho
express car was next to the engine.
The door was open and the messenger
was aweeping the floor,
‘Tbe robbers and Chestnat handed a
note which he hed written to the mes-
senger toread. At the same moment
Jordan covered White with a pistol,
Chestant siezed his arms and his
hands behind his back. Jordan took
two handkerchiefs, a blue and a whito
one, ont of Chestnut's” pocket, blind-
folded White so he could not seo their
movements, and tied him to the floor.
Jordan took the keys of the local
safe off of White, unlocked the safe
and robbed it of two pouches, one of
which contained $116.75 and the oth-
eranumber of checks, Jordan tore
up the checks and put the money in
bis pocket. They did not seo the bag
of $1,000 of silver that was in the safo.
When the train had gono about six
miles from Macon the men jumped off
and White blindfolded so he would
pot know where they jumped off, In
jumping off both men fell heavily
against the ground and were badly
shaken up.

BURGLARS STEAL SAFE,
A Daring Daylight Robbery Effected Ina
Dfontana Town.
* A most audacious robbery was com-
mitted at Anaconda, Mont., Saturday
by two burglars, who secured $10,000
in gold. The burglars entered the
Alaska saloon by forcing in the street
door. Bodily picking up a 300 pound
tafe they loaded it onto ap express
‘wagon. Driving outside the city limits
they broke the safe open and secured
$10,000 in gold. Putting the broken
safe into the wayon they started the
horse toward town and made good
their escape, There.is no clue,
NO LOOTING DONE
Minister Conger Refotes False
and Damaging Statements.
MISSIONARIES ARE INNOCENT
Rev. Achent, of the American
Foreign Missionary Board,;
Also Makes Denial.
In reference to the accasations of
looting mede against missionaries,
United States Minister Conger, who
arrived at San Franciseo Wednesday
night, makes the following statement:
“The Americans have a larger num:
bér of missionaries out there than any
other nation, and I am frank to rey
that, under the circumstances, there
are very few things which tho, mission-
aties have done, if any, for which
there need to be any apology whatever.
The stories of their looting are false,
to my knowledge.
“Believing that our government
would not demand a monetary indem-
nity for the murder and pillaging of
native Obristians, I advised them that
wherever they could male seltlements
with the villages whero those murders
or destruction of property bad taken
Place to make them on their own re-
sponsibility, Li Hung Chang and
Yen Mao suggested that settloment
could be, made in this way with the
least possible friction. There was 00
going out and compelling the people
to pay anything, It wae altogether
voluntary on,their part.
** The missionaries have been eriti-
sized severely for going, immediately
after the siege was raise, into aban-
| doned houses for shelter for themselves
‘and the native coolies who wero ex-
‘pelled from their homes, As to this I
‘told them ‘if there isa boxer’s habita-
dion abandoned, take possession of i',
so youcan have a place in which o
shelter and tako care of the nc ive
Christians.’ ”
Speaking of the siege Mr. Conger
said:
“Tt took every man we had to stand
by tho women and children, If not,
the legation could not have lived, and
withont the native Christians, sone of
us would have been saved. The mis-
sionaries were not the prime causes of
tho trouble; they were only ove of the
causes. The missionaries wero not
respousible for the building of the
rajlréads or for any of tho other for-
eign innovations against which the
hatred of the boxers seemed to be di-
rected.”
MISSIONARY AMENT TALKS.
Rev. A. S, Ament, of the American
board of foreign missions of the Con-
gfegational church, whose collection
of indemnity for damages Jone by
boxers in China has caused consider-
able discnssion, takes vigorous excp-
tigus to the criticisms mado by Mark
Twain and others as to the alleged
misconduct of the missionaries, He
suys: ¢
“Wo fonnd ourselves at the close of
the siege with 540 native Christians
upon our hands, no food, no clothing,
no money and every Christian house
burned.
“Ou the very day of tho arrival of
the allied forces we were informed that
we must leave the Britith legation, a3
it was to be used as headquarters for
the officers of the British army. I im-
mediately thonght of a Mongol prince,
Hoi Ling, who was an ally of the bor-
ers and whose place was the headquart-
ers of boxers and blacklegs. We fouhd
the prince's placo entirely empty and
the next day we bronght up our na-
tive Christians and occupied the de-
serted place. In that house and in
neighboring hounes that we occupied
we put more than 400 people. We
took only abandoned property.
“The only food in the princo’s place
wus a bit of rice. We dicided to sell
the clothing and curfos found upon
the premises and realized $2,500 in
gold. They were bought: by British
and American officers at privato,ealo
of two weeks’ duration,
“Native Christians brought up fars
and sable which they had purchased at
a low price from wealthy Chinese who,
feared they might be looted by the
military people, and who were willing
to dispose of them for a little money.
‘These articles were sold a our place
to British and other officers. I con-
sidered that that was a fair, honest
speculation, which injured nobody and
which benefited many people. ‘There
may have been some looted goods
taken, but it was without my knowl-
edge. The Russian and Sikh soldiers
were selling truck very cheap, bat my
people did not do the looting.”?

PROBABLE END OF REBELLION,
‘Three important cablegrams were
received at the war department Tues-
day from General MacArthur at Ma-
uila, In the opinion of the officials:
the news contained in them marks the
almost complete collapse of organized
rebellion in the Philippines. The ca=
blegrams are as follows:
“General Tinlo surrendered with his
command today at Sinsit. Ho will
deliver all men and guos in his
-command,as soon as they can be gath-
‘ered together. ‘This completely pace
‘fies the first departmont, norchern
‘Lazoz, for many months the worst in
Luzon.”
“Colonols Ciprano Callao and Greg-
orio Katibac Malvar’s best officers,
surrendered to Colonel Jacob Kline at
Lipa on April 28th, with 23 officers,
108 men and 86 rifies.”
“Juan and Blas Villamor, leaders,
Albra, surrendered Bavgued April
27th;' now engaged askembling scat-
tered commands, delivering arms.
Aglips, ex-priest, lender Ilocos Norte
province, Luzon, surrendered at Laoag
April 28th.”
‘Tinio, is said in official quarters, to
have been with Alejandrino, one of
the highest officers in the insurrection-
ary force. Ho was in command in
northerh Luzon during ‘the famous
chase after Commander Gilmore.
Malvor, whoso colonels surrendered
to Kline, also was one of the best
known Fillipino’ leaders. He was
Lawton’s most formidable foe, and
commanded the insurrectos at the
fight at Zapote river, the most serious
battle fought in the Philippines. He
was confined in southern Luzon, which
never has been completely subjugated,
and Lipa, where the surrender oc:
curred, hes been one of tho principal
insurgent arsenals,
It is said at the war department, by
officers recently back from the Philip-
pines, that there remains in the field
im Luzon only one chief whom they
are particularly desirous of catching,
namely, Cailles, the head bunter.
This man has violated every rule of

CUBANS ASK FAYORS.
Plead ‘With President [cKinley
For Liberal Trade Reciprocal
Relation<.
ANCHaHONS.
‘The Cuban delegation completed its
labors in Washington Saturday. In
the morning the delegates met Secre-
tary Root, who escorted them to the
white house, where they bad a final
talk with the president. Then they
paid visits of courtesy to each cf the
officials whom they had met aud final-
ly they started for New York at 11
o'clock Saturday night, homeward
bound. THey witi sail dirict for Ha-
yana, The proceedings at the white
house were snteresting and important.
Senor Capote acted as spokesman
for the delegation. He thanked the
president for the many courtesies
shown them, which they accepted as
‘an expression of good will to the Cu-
ban people. He invited the president
to visit Caba, to see for’ himself the
conditions iu the ‘island and leara
from contact with the inhabitants of the
love and affection the Cubans have for
the United States and their apprecia-
tion of what has been done for them
by this government in their struggle
for freedom. :
Senor Capote asked the president to
alo something for the Cubans upon au
‘economic line, especially in the matter
of reciprocal trade relations. He raid
that it was especially desirable to have
something of this kind done before
the next crop was harvested, in order
that the Cubans might realize the ad-
vantages to them of closer political and
economic relations with the United
States. : ‘
In reply the president ssid it was
impossible to settle economic questions
until the political questions were dis-
posed of. He told the delegates to
first form their government and then
they would be in a position to go into
negotiations with the United States as
to trade relations.
‘The president said he would appoint
commissioners immediately a govern-
ment was organized to negotiate with
similar commissioners from the Cuban
government for reciproca! trade rela-
tions, and he believed that the United
States would be ready to deal in »
manner which would be beneficial to
both countries. He thanked the dele-
gation fot the invitation to visit the
island, and told them to assure the
Cuban people of his friendly interest
in them and his desire to see them,
contented and prosperous.
CAPOTE INTERYICWED.
On their arrival in New York Sunday
the Cuban delegates were interviewed.
In talking of the visit to Washington,
Senor Capote, head of the delegation,
said:
“Woe obtained very important and
yaluable information and we shall im-
part it to the convention iiomediately
‘upon our return to Cuba, but we can-
not say what the convention will de-
termine. Whatever expressions I might
make would be merely my personal
viows, and it would be improber for
me to express them. s
“Our visit has been very pleasant
and instructive, and the representa-
tions made by President McKinley aud
Secretary Rvot were very satisfactory.”
When asked whether the delegation
would report in favor of the acceptanca
of the Platt amendment. Senor Capote
said:
“That I cannot tell.”
It has been said that yonr confer-
ences at Washington have removed all
grounds for opposition to the Ameri-
can policy, Is this correct?”
“No, I cannot eay that. Tt is for
the convention to say. All we can say
is that we are very much pleased with
the information which we have re-
ceived as to the intentions of tho
American government. ‘The delega-
tion has prepared a full report of its
conference for tho constitutional con-
vention, but it has not yet formulated
any recommendations,” *
“Are the delegates unanimous in
their view of the representations made
to them at Washington, or is there
avy difference’ of opinion among
them?”
“They are quite unanimous in their
satisfaction received.” . )

‘THROUGH HISTORIC VIRGINIA.
The first day of the president's Jong
tour to the Pacific coast lay through a
historic section of Virginia, across the
valleys of the Rapidan and James, in
sight of the homes of Madieon and
Jefferson, up past tho peaks of Otter,
ro dear to the hearts of the Virginian,
fato the picturesque Blue Ridge
mnountains,
The Tennessee line was reached at
10:55 o'clock Monday night, with the
arrival of the train at Bristol. The
ronte, as faras Lynchburg was over
the Southern railway. Therothe-train
eas phifted to the tracks of the Nor-
folk and Western for a short ent to
Bristol, where it resumed its flight
over the Southern road. The presi-
dential party received a flattering ova-
tion from the time the train left Wash-
ington.
Large crowds assembled at every
station; the country side and cross
roads each had its little group of way-
ing watchers straining their eyes to
catch a glimpse of the chief magistrate
as the train whisked by. At Char-
lottesville the students of the Univer-
sity of Virginia turned ont; at Lynch-
burg Senator Daniel, Virginia’s crack
orator, made a speech greeting the
president, and at Roanoke two bands
crashed out their welcome. At each
of these places tho president respond-
ed to the loud calls made upon him,
and spoke briefly from the rear plat-
form of his car.
If the initial day's reception through
Virginia is an indication of whatis to
cecur throughont the rest of the trip,
thy president’s tour across the conti-
neut will bea triumphal one. Some
of the people in the eagerness to grasp
the president's hand climbed up the
railing surrounding the platform. The
president received there demonstra.

emilingly to grasp the hand extended
tohim. Mrs, McKinley,sitting at the
window in the observation car, amil-

'The president started on his trip around the country, on Tuesday. The first section he traversed was the south. The ovation he received was significant.' No discordant note was sounded anywhere, and it all go to show that this is really a re-united country.
SPEAKING about the separate can law, the Daily Recorder says that it "proves conclusively that the law has not been enacted for the purpose of restraining and curbing the unthoughtful and offensive colored person, but clearly to humiliate and insult the person of color who has the manhood and ability to stand for himself, and does not need a white man's tag to give him passport anywhere."
FILLING editorial space on a newspaper is not the easiest thing in the world, and it is more difficult on a small calibre paper. It is very necessary for a certain amount of editorial space to be filled and to get matter to fill this space is a question in the mind of many an editor. On many of our southern dailies, whenever the editor fall short of matter, and that is very often, they thoughtlessly discuss the Negro, and as a general thing make use of some of the most absurd and inconsistent ideas ever heard of.
Our morning paper very often makes the assertion that the reason why immigrants do not locate in the South, is because of the density of the Negro population. This paper is very much mistaken in the assertion. The immigrants coming to this country are aware of the treatment accorded the colored citizens of the south. They know that lynching bees are held on the slightest pretext and they feel that they will not be protected any better than the colored citizens, and for that reason they seek a clue that is more congenial with their well being.
THE following is an excerpt from a speech delivered at a meeting in New York under the auspices of the Baron and Baroness de Hirsch Monument Association, by Dr. C. T. Walker, formerly of this state:
"All men are the workmanship of the same Almighty, and God made of one blood all nations to dwell on the face of the earth. All are subjected to sin and infirmities; all are responsible beings and all anke are hastening to an eternity of righteous retribution.
"No man can injure his fellowman without injuring himself. We build up ourselves and increase our happiness in proportion as we labor for the welfare of others. This motto can be safely opted both by the
capitalist and laborer; for as capital and labor are mutually dependent upon each other, the interests of the laborer and capitalist are identical. "This motto will allow us to expect no more from man than we expect others to demand of us. With this rule as an individual motto will come the recognition of the fatherhood of God and universal brotherhood for when the doctrine of the unity of the human family, as enunciated by the Apostle Paul on Mars Hill, facing the Acropolis at Athens, Greece, shall be adopted and believed by each individual, then man's inhumanity to man will cease; there will no longer manifested the monstrous indifference when the question is asked. Where is thy brother? Am I my brother's keeper? We are our brother's keeper. This motto will connect man with man, and man with his Creator."
W. H. Thomas Exposed.
The following is from the Colored American, and it effects W. Hannibal Thomas who recently write a book reflecting upon the Negro:
The following correspondence will explain itself:
Western Theological Seminary, Alleghany, Pa, April 21, 1901.
Dear Sir W H-Thomas, was a student in this seminary between the years 1865 and 1868 and in the latter year was dismissed because of criminal intercourse with woman, subsequently married. He first found the charges, but later confessed the truth and was sent out I have just written out a transcript from the faculty minutes for a lawyer in New Bedford, Mass, and mailed them to him. Yours sincerely, TH Robertson, President of Faculty.
Columbia, S.C., March 1, 1901.
Dear Sir--Referring to your letter of 21st
ult, in regard to Mr W H Thomas,
I hand you enclosed a letter from Mr E W
Screven, who at my request has looked
up Mr Thomas' record. Hoping that
the enclosed letter will furnish you the
desired information I am
Very truly yours,
(Signed)
E A Webster.
PS - You are at liberty to make any
use of this letter you think proper.

Dear Sir—With reference to the career of Mr. W. H., Thomas in South Carolina in the period of 1876, I would say he was elected a member of the State legislature in the fall of 1876, and took his seat in that body when it convened at the Capital on November 29th, of that year. Owing to political complications at that time there were two rival organizations claiming to be the legal House of Representatives and Mr. Thomas gave allegiance to the Mackey House which was shortly after its organization adjudged not to be the legal body by the Supreme court of the State, and after sitting just twenty-three days adjourned sine die. It never re-assembled.
I find by the reports of the proceedings of this body that Mr. William II Thomas was chairman of the committee on privileges and elections and during the twenty-three days, three reports were made by his committee. I find also that Mr. Thomas made one report to the House on behalf of the judicial committee, and upon inquiry I learned that he was chairman of that committee.
All this information I got from the file of the News and Courier whose reporter was present daily and gave very full at counts of these proceedings.
I can find no journal of the House in the State library giving any account of the proceedings of the Mackey House, and it is reasonable to assume that the legality of that body never having been recognized, no record of its proceedings will be preserved by the State.
While in Newberry county a few days ago at the county seat I took occasion to make inquiry as to the record of Mr. Thomas as while a citizen of Newberry, and I find that he was a trial justice in 1876. I also find that Mr. William H. Thomas was indicted on May 9, 1874, "for corruptly and fraudulently" seizing and selling property, Mr. Thomas was bound over to appear at the general sessions court and bonded in the sum of $500, his bondsmen being Elijah Phillips, Burrell M. Raines, Henry Kennedy, and William H. Snead. When the court convened Mr. Thomas failed to appear, and these bondsmen were cited by order of the court on the 17th, of June 1878, to make payment of the bond which they did.
A sealed sentence is now on file, Roll 1, 306 in the clerk's office at Newberry, against Mr. William H. Thomas in this case.
The case against Thomas was brought by a colored man, J. H. Blease, who in the examination swears that a bale of cotton valued at $42 was taken from him and that he has never seen the cotton from that day to this.
I saw Elijah Phillips, an honest and respected colored blacksmith doing business in the town of Newberry, and insures me that he and his associates on the bond of Thomas paid the bond, and that they have never able to get any payment or reimbursement of any kind from Thomas.
I saw Mr. K. E. Williams, a highly respected colored citizen, and former merchant of Newberry, who informs me that he had endorsed for Mr. Thomas' rent in the sum of $4 which he had to pay and that he has never received any reimbursement from Thomas, although he has many times requested payment of the debt.
I called Mr. Williams' attention to the sweeping charges made by Mr. Thomas against the virtue and morality of the women of his race, and asked Mr. Williams how he accounted for Mr. Thomas' impression. He said that Mr. Thomas was himself a lechonus character, and doubtless drew his impressions from his personal and immediate surroundings, which were horrible during his residence in Newbury. I found that Mr. Williams' opinion was concurred in by all from which I ask information. L. W. Screven.
Newberry S. C., April 1, 1901.
Dear Sit—Your favor of 29th ultimum received, will send certified copy of record in the case of State vs. William Hannibal Thomas for $5.00. Your information as to the case is correct.
New Bedford, Mass., April 5, 1801.
Friend Bruce—Many thanks for documents you sent and which I return herewith. Have got certified copy of criminal court record complete in the case of State vs. H. Thomas. Have received from Dr. T. H. Robinson, president of the faculty of Western Theological Seminary, copy of vote recorded in minutes April 17th, 1868, showing Thomas was expelled on forced confession, after strenuous denial of immoral behavior, and woman, he afterward
married and by whom he had a child in less time than seven months. It seems Thomas himself had informed shortly before on another colored student and caused his expulsion, so the Faculty felt his own case peculiarly aggravated.
The same sneaking reptile then as now. Some how they have confounded Wm. Henry Thomas, a man and minister, with this libertine and criminal. That error they must correct, and I know they will gladly do. With sincere regard.
Edward B. Jourdan, Attorney and Counselor at Law
What the scriptures say to the critic:
Therefore though art is excusable, O man, whenever, thou art that judges; or where in thou judges another, thou condemnest thyself, for thou that judges doesst the same things. * * Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou that preaches a man should not stal; dest thou steal? Thou that says a man should not commit adultery, dest thou commit adultery? Thou that ablorest idols, dest thou commit sacrilege?—Romans Xi, l, 21-22.
No more need be called congrueing Thomas. His unenviable record speaks for itself, and if there is anything in it of which he is particularly proud he's welcome to it all. These disclosures will explain more fully than any words of ours who this man is who has presumed to set himself up as a critic and censor of the morals of the Negro race. Discriminating people of whatever race will be slow to attach munch, if any, importance to the learned deliverances of this "second Daniel come to judgement" to be found in the autobiography of W. Hamibal Thomas. His extreme modesty possibly prevented him from giving his book its correct title.²

College Dots.
Chancellor W. B Hill came out to see us 'Thursday, and give us an excellent chapel talk on the "Ogden Party." He commended its mission in the South and spoke in glowing terms of Mr. Booker T. Washington as well as President Wright. He was especially delighted with the quartette singing of Messrs. Howard, Shootes, Haigler and Judgkin. They sang plantation melodies. Mr Jno. Bulkley, formerly an instructor in this College, paid us a "pop call" last week. He reports his school at Waynesboro, Ga., in a flourishing condition.
The game of ball between the College boys and the I. P. C's in Bolton St. Park was exceedingly interesting and well played. It is the forgerunner of a better game with the S. C. State College in the near future.
The "epinsters convention" came to fore the 30th inst., in Ford's Opera House to the delight of a large and appreciative audience.
Miss Schofield, and Miss Billings, of the Schofield Seminary, Aiken, S. C., visited the school-Tuesday afternoon in company with Miss Reik of the Beach Institute. They had time only to peep into the industrial shops. They were looking for ideas, and found them they said.
News From Capt Crumbly.
News From Capt Crumbly
The hundreds of friends in Georgia and elsewhere will be glad to learn of Capt. F. H Crumbly who has made such an excellent record for himself as a soldier and gentleman abroad and at home. Capt. Crumbly has been in command of one of the crack companies in the Phillipines for over a year and his friends have watched his career with keen interest, and the following extract from a letter to us dated Tinson, Tayahas, Luzon, P. I. March, 7th, 1901, just received will be read with pleasure and interest by all; the captain says: "We are here at this station since Jan 21, and for a few weeks we have been enjoying a rest from active campaing. The health of the command is very good. Men are well fed and clothed, and stand the climate remarkably well.
"As a rule they are well liked by peaceable natives, and many of them will ask for their discharges with a view of staying over here, and will marry native women as soon as they are free from Uncle Sam. We are hoping to leave the Isles for America about May 15th. Some of our officers intend coming back over here after they return to the States.
"This is a good place for an active professional Negro, or one who has capital to go into business; but the Negro as a laborer would starve to death here so cheap is n.ive and Chinese labor.
"Negroes as missionaries would do well here both for themselves and the natives."
The foregoing letter took about forty-three days to reach Savannah, the Phillipine islands being about six thousand miles from the United States. As Capt. Crumbly expects to arrive on the 15th, instant, his Georgia friends will have the pleasure of grasping his hands in a few weeks or rather days.
Cypress Slash Meeting.
The Congregational quarterly union of Liberty Co. met at Cypress Slash church, Trinity Ga, April 20th and 21st.
On Friday the rain came down in torrents, and it looked as if the bright hopes that were cherished for our meeting would all be crushed.
Saturday morning old "Sol" shone himself beautifully over the green clad earth, but it was cold indeed for the season of the year and more especially for South Last Georgia.
As we had almost given up hopes of our meeting, while gazing up the road we caught a view of some teams coming, and our glad surprise it was the pastor and delegates of the
Midway Congregational Church, which is twelve miles from Cypress Slash. They arrived about noon. About the same time four delegates from Taylor's Creek and one from Smiley arrived. After giving a friendly hand shake and a welcome to our home they were cordially invited into the parsonage and partook of the noon meal that was spread in the dining room, and of course it was heartily enjoyed by all after coming such a long distance through the cold. After dinner we left for the church which is only about fifty yards from the parsonage and proceeded to business.
Devotional exercise was first in order then reading of the minutes of the last meeting which were read by the clerk. We listened to the reports of the different churches and Sunday schools which were good for our country churches. A collection was called for to defray our expenses after which the home for the delegates were assigned by the pastor. Adjournment was next in order until Sunday morning ten o'clock. Thus ended Saturday afternoon session.
Sunday morning was a beautiful spring morning but it was still cold. The fire glowing in the fire-place and heater was not at all out of place and felt quite comfortable. Sunday school led by Supt. A. G. Phabian at ten o'clock were quite interesting. The delegates took part and gave some very good and interesting talks to the crowd of young people. About noon several teams with passengers seven of the teachers of Dorchester Academy came, besides some of the students. After warming themselves and feeling refreshed they went over to Sunday school which was prolonged on account of hearing from the different visitors. Miss Curtis spoke some very interesting and encouraging words to the audience of which she is brim full. The words spoken by her are as good and refreshing to us as the oasis on the deserts of Africa to the weary caravan. After a recess of five minutes a sermon by Rev W A Clarke, text Deut 24 chap. He spoke of the Christian of to-day how they are drifting with the world. His sermon deeply impressed the audience, every one seemed to have enjoyed it, and the words which he spoke is rooted deep in some hearts. A collection was called for, then the benediction was pronounced; process until night. A dinner was spread outside by the church, a long table was prepared for visitors and delegates; after the inner man was cared for, the crowd dispised for their homes about two hundred were present during the day. At night Rev Clarke preached on rejecting Christ. He seemed to be as fresh for his sermon as he was in the morning. It was a grand sermon. Rev. Clarke thanked the people of Cypress Shish for their hospitality. He said he hope to come again at our district conference which will meet here in September—"Pincy Woods"
A Great Meeting.
Rev. S. L. Johnson, evangelist of Boyton Va., has just closed the most marvelous and successful series of meetings at the Second Baptist church, of which Dr Durham is pastor, that has ever been known in the history of Savannah. Such a meeting is not within the memory of the oldest inhabitant.
The meeting continued six weeks. and during that time between six and seven hundred persons were converted and reclaimed and while there was no money raising, yet collections during the meeting amounted to about seven hundred dollars ($700.00) One remarkable feature about the meeting was that a large proportion of those brought to Christ are men. Rev. Johnson is one of the ablest soundest and most successful Baptist evangelist in the whole country.
Savannah is religiously, morally and socially better to-day than when Rev. Johnson came. Dens of vice have been broken up, those who conducted and supported them have been converted, christians have been edited and the churches in Savannah strengthened, for all of them have received some of the fruits of the great revival.

He is very deserving, and well-liked by his teachers and school mates and in fact is a favorite with all who know him.
Good Chance for Investors.
The phenomenal success of Atlanta University in athletics this year is due largely to Savannah students. Capt. W. T. Mitchell, A. D. and J. II Butler, have done fine work for both our football and baseball teams. The results of the last two games of baseball were as follows: A. U. 10, A. B. C. 3; A. U. 18, A. B. C. 10. At commencement it will be no surprise if Savannah adds to her honor in athletics, in scholarship also.

The oldest organized military company in the State Troops, colored, is the Chatham Light Infantry. Many years before it was commissioned by the governor it was known as an ax company and was commanded by Captain Barcus Davison, who was succeeded by Capt. J. H. Gardner under whom the company was commissioned and to whom the second commission to a colored man was given by the governor of Georgia, Capt. Goodman of the Union Lincoln Guards being the first. Under command of Capt. Gardner the company flourished greatly. He commanded it to his death when he was succeeded by Capt. Youmans and afterwards by Capt. Julius Maxwell, and succeeded by the present commander, Capt. Nelson Law, under whose command the company has grown phenomically and is the strongest in the state. Capt. Law enjoys the respect and high esteem of his men, and the confidence of his fellow officers of the battalion.

ing in the conversion of many souls to Christ. For this excellent work he has received the unstinted praise of the members of every denomination, many of whom attended his services in large numbers and took an active part in the reclaiming of sinners. But the reverend gentleman upon the eve of his departure from our midst, has seen fit to dampen all of the good work he has done and belittled himself by certain unfortunate statements he has made. As a member of the Baptist denomination we feel that he should adhere to the doctrine of his denomination. By doing this he would be applauded; but when he goes out of his way to condemn members of another denomination to hell because they do not believe as he does and calling preachers of the same denominations ignoramuses because they teach the doctrine, then he takes upon himself the power of the God-head.

not condemn him for believing in baptism by immersion, I do not condemn him for being against infant baptism, but I do fully condemn him when he consigns all of those who do not believe as he does, to perdition. There are members of his church who feel as strongly as he does in baptism by immersion and are not in favor of infant baptism, but they do not send to torment those who do believe otherwise. In this Rev. Johnson is not applauded by many of his own members and certainly he is not by the Pedo-Baptis's.
I thought that the evangelist came here to preach the lowly Nazarene and not to stir up strife between the denominations. His attempt would have been successful in the latter direction if it was not known that the members of the church he presided at do not uphold him in what he said. ANTI-

When a cheerful, brave and light-hearted woman is suddenly plunged into that perfection of misery, the blues, it is a sad picture.
It is usually this way:
She has been feeling out of sorts for some time, experiencing severe headache and backache; sleeps very poorly and is exceedingly nervous.
Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness, dizziness, and palpitation of the heart; then that bearing-down feeling is dreadfully wearing.
Her husband says, "Now, don't get the blues! You will be all right after you have taken the doctor's medicine."
But she does not get all right. She grows worse day by day, until all at once she realizes that a distressing female complaint is established.

"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I feel it my duty to write and tell you of the benefit I have received from your wonderful remedies. Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I was a misery to myself and every one around me. I suffered terrible pain in my back, head, and right side, was very nervous, would cry for hours. Menses would appear sometimes in two weeks, then again not for three or four months. I was so tired and weak, could not sleep nights, sharp pains would dart through my heart that would almost cause me to fall.
"My mother coaxed me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I had no faith in it, but to please her I did so. The first bottle helped me so much that I continued its use. I am now well and weigh more than I ever did in my life."—MRS. WINIFRED ALLENDER, Farmington, Ill.
