They Are Unanimous in Their Praise of the Business-Like Methods— Witsell Controversy. The delegates to the Baptist convention have returned from Augusta. They say that the convention was a great success in every way. An outline of the work of the convention is contained in the following: The two leading features of the work of the convention were the discussions of the missions and denominational colleges, mainly represented by MeTcer university. At the last meeting of the convention a committee was appointed to consider the relation of denominational colleges to pub lic instruction, and particularly to the state university. This committee submit ted a report at the convention just ad journed, in which it was suggested that the state should do more for her univer sity, assist in raising its curriculum and make it in fact as it is in name a univer sity. Stress, however, was laid upon the proper fostering of our own denomina tional colleges. The convention met in the auditorium of the First Baptist church of .Augusta, where 4110 convention met in 1845 that declared the separation of the southern Baptist or ganization from that of the northern. There are only three members of the church living wao were delegates to the secession convention and two of them were present at the Augusta convention. Their names are H. 'H. Hickman and D. <B. Plumb. Mass meetings were held in the interest of home and foreign missions, orphan homes and denominational colleges, par ticularly the Southern Baptist Female Seminary at Louisville, Ky. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed at all these meetings and many promises of ma terial aid to these institutions were made by delegates. Saturday the convention decided to ac cept as a gift, free of encumbrance, the property and franchises of the .Monroe Fe male seminary at Forsyth, Ga., stipulating that the convention was to have the power of appointing trustees and running the college as it sees fit; the convention in the same resolution accepting the trust that all other female institutions similarly sit uated should be allowed to come under the wing of the church. A spirited light was maintained over this resolution, many delegates contending tiiat it was bad policy to accept even as a gilt such college property as was offered without regard to where it was located, citing that it would eventually come to be a great burden upon the convention. A motion was also made to reconsider this act of the convention yesterday, but was lost. The long drawn ou4 Whitsitt controversy was not introduced as was expected and no sensation of any kind was sprung to disturb the perfect harmony of the conven tion. FOR CANDLER NOW. - Mr. Hugh V. Washington Defines His Po sition. IMr. Hugh V. Washington writes the fol lowing letter to the Consthtuion on the question of the gubernatorial situation: Editor Constitution —Having beeh an original AV. Y. Atkinson man four years ago, I claim the privilege of supporting (Colonel Candler now. 'Mr. Candler .has not said that I could not support him, and he has not said or done anything to make me oppose him. So I am going to vote for him. His opponents are badly in need of cam paign ammunition to have made such a fuss over that letter. Four years ago the young Democracy were accorded the honor by the people of Georgia of naming the governor, and will have plenty -of other opopntunities in future, but let’s give tlhe honor to a veteran Democrat this time. Speaking of veterans, all ’the world as coming to recognize the splendid qualities of the Southern veteran —the old soldiers of the Confederacy—Today the praise of General Fitzhugh. Lee’s coolness and cour age and devotion is on every iip. There is grit and honor and devotion in those “old vets,” and while J a’m praising Lee in Cuba, I am not going to turn my back on Candler in Georgia. We younger men honor ourselves in honoring them. Colonel Candler does not stand for “isms,” he stands for Georgia, and when he is put on duty as commander in chief o fthe army and navy bf Georgia, and the welfare of the state, we can all go to sleep a.t night feeling sure that he will not sur render the rights of the people, or invade the rights of any one. Very respectfully, Hugh V.Washington. 'Maeon, Ga., April 4, 1898. WAR TALK BOILED DOWN. Ex-Governor O’Farrall, of Virginia, will volunteer in the event of war.

If, when a man feels out of sorts and nervous, and realizes that he is suffering front biliousness or indigestion, he 11 ! take the right remedy, he can always - p i himself in good health. Many serious illnesses have their incep tion in indigestion or in an inactive liver. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is a sure, safe, speedy and permanent cure for all disorders of the digestion. It also cures all of the maladies that have their incep tion in these disorders. It a prompt cure for giddiness, sick headache, pain in the stomach, fullness and swelling after meals, dizziness and drowsiness, cold chills, flush ings of heat, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, blotches on the skin, disturbed sleep, frightful dreams and nervous and trembling sensations. It makes the appe tite keen and hearty, the digestion perfect, the liver active and fills the blood with life giving elements that build healthy tissue, it is a cure for nervous exhaustion and prostration and it cures 98 per cent, of all cases of consumption, bronchial, throat and kindred affections. An honest dealer will not try to induce customers to take some worthless substitute for the sake of a few pennies added profit. Mr. W. Rogers, of 607 Grayson St., Louisville, Ky., has this to say for himself and the "‘Golden Medical Discovery.” “ I was a dyspeptic. I had not had a comfortable night in six years. I have faken three bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med ical Discovery. I am now fifty years old. I feel thirty ysars younger.” Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are a sure, speedy rtm permanent cure for constipa tion. One little “Pellet” is a gentle lax ative and two a mild cathartic.

At Manor, Tex., in that sparsely settled country along the line of the Houston and Toxas Central railway, I came to n largo wood colored building surrounded by a caravan of horses. I counted upward of 50, all saddled and each hitched to a tree. Everything about the house was as still ns death.. "It must he a funeral,” I said. Suddenly the scone changed. The doors of the building hurst, open, and cut broke 50 school children. “Sehcol’s out!” they shouted, and a caravan of children scram bled for tho horses. In a moment the youngsters had mounted and were riding bolter skeitor over tho prairie. Tho Texas mustangs seemed to scent tho frolic und kicked up their heels as they galloped home with the school children. With their dinner pails jingling on pommels of tho saddles, and their drosses ami jackets wav ing in tho wind, they looked like a mad caravan of Bedouins. “How far did you comer” I asked a lit tle tot who sat behind his sister on a spec kled mustang. “I toom dood way—l turn”*— ‘‘Why, he’s come six miles,” interrupt ed his sister. ‘‘.Timmy is only 5 years old. Ho doesn’t know how far ho does come.” “But 1 live eight miles,” said a little Lord Fauntleroy on a dancing broncho, •‘but I can tide if in an hour and have done it in 30 minutes.” Then he spurred his horse till ho leaped away over tho prairie. It is very common to see school children wearing spurs in Texas. Texas has tho richest, school fund of any state in the Union, but; she lacks the children. Some counties have as much as $50,000 laid up for school purposes. They uro just waiting for Iho children to grow.—Atlanta Na ti-nal. News and Opinions OF National Importance.
