DAILY ENQUIRER • SUN: COLUMBUS GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1886. TALK FROM TALBOTTON. A ColB»b«Hlt« Taking In the Columbus Baptist AdNorUtlon. •Correspqndenoe Enquirer-Sun. Talbotton, Qa., September 23.—I am very much like the parrot this morning. “I am Berry I spoke," ’cause I know you will looking for me to speak again from “the last word I said in fact, after this I shall always be opposed to re ports asking for “fhrther time." We never know what is ahead of us, and we should be very care* Oil before we make such requests; but “experi ence you know"—well, just here, 1 don’t propose to give you all the experiences I have had. It might not be best for my comfort when I get home. Put this in small type, for some people skip the fine print. I took some dots, but whether I can follow them is an other thing. One should experience the circum- .stances to appreciate. You know that I am in somewhat straightened circumstances—tryiug to play delegate to an association and recuperate at the same time. Right here let me ask your typos to excuse chirography, as this desk top is not very level, being a ridged trunk top, and I am listening every minute for the breakfkst bell. By the way, were you ever a delegate, and have you found out how often and how much some delegates can eat? Am I wandering? Well, note No. 1. The introductory sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Page, of Rehobeth church. Text 21st chapter of Job, 15th verse. Ho talked to us for just fifty-one minutes on the omnipo tence of the great Creator, Ruler and Proprietor of the universe, citing many ways by which He made his influence known and felt—earth quakes, etc.—reminding us that whatever we claimed in this world was not ours, save as a loan, and that we should certainly be called to give an account of our stewardship; that He required and expected homage at our hands, etc. The latter part of his text (the efficiency of prayer) was treated in a very powerful and impressive man ner. Home influence and civilization were suffi cient illustrations to convince the most skeptical. The sermon over, we adjourned for dinner Ah, then it was we had a chance to witness the gen erous hospitality of the Talbotton people. I can’t describe, so I will just say they cannot be surpassed. The systematic activity of the committee of appointments and arrangements cannot be surpassed. If you ever hear of any one who attended this as sociation as a delegate, visitor, pleasure or health seeker, who was overworked or did not get more than he bargained for, send him to me. Dinner over, the organization was effected in a short time, and, according to Baptist usages, in decency and in order. Rev. R. H. Harris, of your ■city, was chosen moderator and S. B. Baldwin clerk. Both acknowledged their compliments in A happy and dignified manner. 1 would like to say more right there, but that break fast bell is in constant expectation. Excuse me, if you p loose. Should I ever meet up with your “principal man" in my travels I will give him a full account of all the details, for they are indelibly impressed on my mind. I forgot to say that the business session was opened by one of the most feeling, earnest prayers by Bev. C. C. Willis to which I ever listened. A very touching talk of Dr. DeVotie was made while the committee was counting the votes I was indeed sorry that the coant was over so soon, for the doctor, in his usual pleasant style, was speaking very effectively on the fellowship of brethren in the church family and friendly anions. I should have been glad to have heard him longer on these different relations. Preaching at night by a young minister. Waller. I think, is the name, lie haudled his subject well. The audience was large, many standing for want of seats. Well, After the sermon— There goes that bell. Never mind, some other time, or never; breakfast now. Yours, W. P. 8.—I have seen a veritable storm pit. I can’t tell you about it now. Breakfast is my meal of' all others. A Novel Suit. Opelika Times. Quite a novel suit was filed in the circuit court Monday. Jeff Nunn, a notorious negro convict and habitual law-breaker, now working out a sentence under Col. R. J. Trammell, for carrying concealed weapons, has sued Mr. T. L. Gordon, sheriff of Lee county, for $250 damages for arresting him on election day. He considers his honor and dignity injured to that extent. He is continually before the courts. He has been prosecuted for stealing cotton, and has recently served out a long sentence on the chain gang for carrying concealed weapons as stated above, and is now serving out his second sentence for the same offense. On election day, Sheriff Gordon having a warrant for him, and hearing he was about leaving the state, arrested him; but not until he had exercised the invaluable right of voting the independent republican ticket. We suppose he thinks the success of that ticket will make his suit successful. In this he will bo mis taken. It will be a long time before a jury of white men in Lee county give a notorious negro convict damages against a democratic sheriff for arresting him for violating the law. If they do, every criminal in the county should commence suit at once against the officers, and every negro arrested, tried and convicted of any crime should recover damages every time he is imprisoned by the sheriff. Lee county is not ready for this yet. There will be no negro jurors to try such a case. White men will still control Lee county. - GEORGIA XEilRITIES. Corrected by John Blacknmr, Ck>inn»* bus, Gb.

Cincinnati,September 21.—At 11 o’clock last night the Thurman Club, about 100 strong, headed by a band of music, march ed to the Gibsoti House and tendered a serenade to the distinguished ex-scuator r , vvh £3e honor the club was named. »Y* e l' ,umnnrl in responding said: My Young Friends: When I was a boy at school many years ago, one of the text bo, )k8 I studied was a Latin one, “Cicero on Old Age,’’ and I remember well when I read that beautiful treatise in which the author sets forth in the most beautiful and impressive manner that consummation in old age which would in somo degree be a compensation for the trials of youth, 1 won dered if that lot would ever be mine. Now, when I look down upon your heads and see your bright faces and know who you are and what you are, I feel some thing of regret that the old author never had a Ciceronian club to honor and con sole him in his old age, as you have mine. I thank you, first, for the honor you have done an old man in taking his name for your club, and, second, for the kindness you have manifested toward me by your attendance to-night and your beautiful serenade. My friends, no one can say you are worshiping a rising sun. No; it is a setting sun, low down in the hori zon, and fast disappearing forever. I shall never hold another office nor shall I ever be a candidate for office; hence it will not bo in my power to reward my friends or to punish my foes, You come without hope or fear in that respect, merely to honor an old fellow who from boyhood has been a democrat, and who until his dying day will be a democrat, and who is pleased not to be forgotten while he still-lives. It is my pride and boast that I have always been a strong and steadfast adherent of the principles of democracy, and when my dying day comes, as soon it must, and my eyes are turned to behold the sun In tho heavens for the last time, It will be the eyes of a democrat that will look upon that orb. And when I atn under the sod,and some one stumbles over my grave, there will he find the epitaph, “Here lies a man who was an honest democrat his whole life long.” addressed went to Boston to tho Crawford Houso on Monday, and saw Mr. Jenkins there. They went into a private room to gether, and there Mr. Jenkins told his friend that he was going west. “Why 7” was the astonished query. “Because my business in Lynn is in such a condition that I can’t stay there any longer,” was the reply. Ho added: “I am Hinder j.1 beyond endurance,” His friend asked him If ho was guilty of anything criminal. Mr. Jenkins said: “No, but I have done wrong.” It appeared that ho had been borrowing money to a con siderable extent, and found himself una ble to muet his obligations in this direc tion. When his friend asked him how much ho would need to , make himself* Hquare, Mr. Jenkins replied: “From $5000 to $7000." He said, “I am going west to work to pay off this indebtedness,” but he did not state where he proposed to locate himself. He desired his friend to take a message to his wife stating his intentions, and thin gave hor her first intimation of what was on hor husband’s mind. It is not known whether Jenkins had ? liven notes for money' borrowed or not. lis wife and family are left with nothing but a small piece of rent estate, and the house in which they lived was mortgaged. IN A FAITH CURE TENT. A Needle In Process ot Extraction from a Man’s Foot Through Faith. New York Sun. At the end of a shady road that leads through the New York bay cemetery in Jersey City, and almost on the shores of the bay, stands a big square tent. The out side is scrupulously covered with mosquito netting, and the interior is decorated with printed Bible sayings. In this tent a series of religious meetings have been kept up since Wednesday with great enthusiasm. It is the fourth annual conference of the Mount Zion Sanctuary. The sanctuary proper is a two-story house’with a mansard roof, which stands near the tent. In the summer of 1880 Sister Antoinette Jackson, while at Long Branch, received a revela tion that this house, with the two acres of land surrounding it, should be purchased and be called the Mount Zion Sanctuary. A religious corporation was organized two years later, under the laws of the state, and the sanctuary has been carried on ever since. Belief in the possibility of healing by faith 1b a tenet of the sect. The big tent was crowded from early in tho morning until late at night yesterday. The back seats were kept full by people who dropped In to see and soon dropped out, while the front seats were packed with converts who had a minute each to tell their experiences. Sometimes two or three would oe standing at a time waiting for a chance. A young man from Brook lyn said he had been called crazy by his friends, but crazy or not he gloried in his belief. He was once troubled, ho said, with epileptic fits. When he got the loast bit excited he used to go into a fit. He went to a distinguished doctor and took lots of medicine, but the more he took the worse he got. Finally, he looked to Jesus and he has had no fits since. “A little while ago,” he continued, “I got a needle in my foot. For the time being I backslid. I forgot my faith and went to a doctor to get the needle out out. He said he couldn’t cut it out without in juring the foot, and that I’d better wait and let it work out at some other part of the body. Then I took my ease to Jesus. The needle is there yet, but It is coming out juBt where it went in; and that is a thing unknown to science.” A large woman, in relating her experi ence, said: “Once I was troubled with too much voluptuousness. I was so fat that I couldn’t walk two blocks. I took anti-fat and I grew fatter. I came to the Mount Zion Sanctuary a few mouths ago, and there I decided to pray to he less voluptu ous. When I began to pray I weighed 376 pounds. Jesus has taken away 76. Now I weigh only 300.” Other experiences followed. The meet ings will continue until to-morrow. After the telling of experiences and preaching, the leaders annoint sick people who are brought in. A Mysterious Shooting. Scranton, Penn., September 21.—Short ly after 6 o’clock this morning a number of persons living on Franklin avenue, in the centre of the city, witnessed a strange and tragic incident. Two young men who were walking briskly along, engaged |in animated conversation, suddenly sepa rated, and one of them, drawing a revolver, fired at the other, taking deliberate aim at his breast. The wounded man ran for some distance, but soon grew faint and begged some one to assist him to the hos pital. He was taken to tho office of Dr. Burnett, where it was found that tho ball had entered his left side and taken a down ward course. The bullet could not be found. The injured man is named Eugene Dwyer, and he is 26 years old. His recov ery is considered impossible. The assassin was a young, handsome, well dressed fellow, and Dwyer says ho does not know him. Shortly after he did the shooting he expressed regret that he had not killed Dwyer instantly, and said he hoped he would not recover. Ho offer ed to accompany some one to police head quarters, but no one would go with him, and he walked leisurely away and has not been seen since. It is thought that there is some motive for the mysterious tragedy which Dwyer does not care to reveal. AGENT JENKINS’ FLIGHT. (June West to Escape from Ills Creditors. Boston, September 21.—The business community of Lynn was greatly disturbed to-day by the announcement that George A. Jenkins, one of the leading real estate and insurance agents of the city, had dis appeared. Mr. Jenkins was associated in his insurance business with Air. Frank B. Marshman for some time, but recently Mr. Marshman bought out his interest in this department. It had been noticed that for several months Mr. Jenkins appeared g reatly depressed, as though by some eavy mental trouble. On Saturday he told Mr. Marshman, who has continued to occupy the same office with him, that he was going to Alton Bay, N. H., on Monday to look up some wood land for a purchaser. Mr Marshman understood him to say that he should only be gone for the day. At 7 o’clock Monday morning a friend received from Mr. Jenkins a letter request ing him to meet the writer at the Craw ford House, in Boston. This letter came bv private channels, and not through the Dost office. Mr. Jenkins added the words: “Meet me In Boston at once. The party Mr. I.amnr as Mo Is. Milwaukee Sentinel. Secretary Lamar never loaves Washing ton unless it is in a mysterious way—at at least the newspapers describe it aa mys terious. The explanation of it is that the secretary is a very sh.v man, and lie has been bo beleagured by office seekers that he has become extremely cautious in his movements. So nowadays, whenever he wants to be gone from the city, for fear that he may be waylaid by office seekers wherever he may be going, ho arranges with his private secretary to suy to news paper men who come about the depart ment that the secretary lias disappeared and no one knows where he has gone; that he came in the morning and started to do some work, suddenly picked up his hat, went out, and that was the last seen of him. Regularly once a month this para ph gets into the newspapers, and . Lamar is again und again described in tho imagination of newspaper correspondents ns a very dreamy man, who has only occasional periods of wakefulness in which ho works by fits and starts, as the mood takes him, and thus accomplishes the enormous amount of work which he is known to turn off. This shows what a smart man Mr. Lamar is. I have a number of times heard his private secretary giving his usual “stiff” to the reporters when Mr. Lamar sat in his office conversing with me. Once I saw him read a paragraph in the evening papers describing one of these mysterious disappearances, and then take his carriage and ride the length of F street to the Ebbitt House, exciting the astonishment of every body who had read the evening pnpers and supposod that he had gone off like a naif-dazed opium eater—“the word forgetting; by tho world for- ot." The fact of the matter is that Ir. Lamar is one of the most systematic men in the administration, and no mem ber of the cabinet accomplishes so much hard work day after day as he does. He is a man of remarkable legal acumon, and has again and again torn up decisions written by his staff of land clerks to sit down and labor over all the facts and prin ciples involved, and himself dictate a de cision whioh he iB willing to have go forth to the world, and these decisions of Mr. Lamar are some of the richest and ripest productions that have ever emanated from any one holding that office. More than any man in the cabinet Mr. Lamar is a statesman, and his scholarship is a constant surprise to all who come in contact with him. As a judge of men his discrimina tion is far superior to that of the president. If the south is ever to advance a presi dential candidate Mr. Lamar should be the man. ANTI-MISCEGENATION MOVEMENT. Organization In Louisian* to Prevent the Inter- , marriage of Whites anil Blacks. New Orleans. September 20.—A prac tical movement has Deen inaugurated in Bossier parish, in this state, for tho aboli tion of miscegenation. There have been during tho past year or so several spas modic efforts in this direction, both in Louisiana and Mississippi. Self-consti tuted vigilance committees have warned white men with negro wives and mistresses to leave them and lead u regular ltfe, and when this failed have ridden through the parish, severely whipping both men and women who disobeyed this order. In Mississippi there were several arrests, convictions and sentences for violation of the law prohibit ing intermarriages between the races, and in Louisiana one man was soverely cut in a scrimmage arising from this movement. But these anti-miscegenation raids were spasmodic, tho freaks of a few wild young men. The present movement is more se rious and more general, and is a thorough and practical organization, like that of tho prohibitionists, to break up miscegena tion. The flrst meeting was held in Bossier parish in July, whore the subject was gene rally discussed, and adjourned over to this month to find the drift of public opinion. It was found that public sentiment among the whites was well nigh unanimous on the subject. The recent meeting held at Cot tage Grove, in the upper portion of Bossier parish, was the result. There was no secrecy or mystery about it. It was an open mass meeting, in whioh all tho people or the neighborhood—farmers, clergymen end others—assembled. The meeting was opened with prayer and presided over by a clergyman. Tne resolutions were of the strongest character. Those guilty of mis cegenation were threatened with social boycott, and warned that they were in sulting the race feelings and moral princi ples of the community. But the gist of the meeting was tho appointment of a vig ilance committee of nineteen to serve no tices on these white men living with negro wqmen—the vigilunts were not instructed as to what they should if this warning is unheeded—and the appointment of another commit tee to assist in the organziation of unti- miscegeuation societies in other parishes in the state. This plan of operation is warmly sup- S orted by the press. The Bossier Banner eclares that race purity must be pre served at all hazards, the line must be sharply and distinctly drawn, and those who cross it must p«.j the penalty. The Robeliue Reporter of Natchitoches, edited by the father of the present attorney-gen eral of the state, approves the idea. As this sentiment prevails in most of the neighboring parishes, it is thought that the present organization, by giving a start to the anti-miscegenation sentiment, which in this part of the state is now stronger than the anti-liquor sentiment, it will Bpread through north Louisiana ii not into the neighboring states of Mlsslsoppl, Texas and Arkansas. There is no law in Louisiana against the intermarriage or cohabitation of faces, this prohibition, which was strongly urged by many persons, being voted down in the late con stitutional convention, but miscegenation is growing rarer every day, in deference to the strong public sentiment on this point. Was El Coyote Killed { Lampasas, Mox., September 21.—Dis- S atches from New Laredo, stating that El oyote’s family deny the report that he was killed in the reoent battle with tho federal troops near this city, place tho officers in an unenviable position. Tho official report of the engagement was made publio, and numerous congratulatory tele grams were received from federal, state and municipal officials in the frontier dates, all thanking Capt. Herrera and Col. Foran for ridding the country of the ter rible Coyote. El Coyote is a large, power ful man, with long, flowing heard. It is believed by many leading citizens hero that tlie troops mistook Juan Villerat for El Coyote, as lie closely resembled the leader, and the terrible hand-to-hand fight that he made for his life made them feel doubly sure that they had the bold cliiof- tian. The governor has ordered tho mayor to have tho bodies properly iden tified. _____ . Tils Kurtll||unko 700 Fret Under C round.
