Che Marietta Jonrnal. VOL. XXII. STATE NEWS. Culled and Condensed from our Ex. changes. Three brothers met in Brunswick a day or two ago for the first time in five years. From one of them the other two gained information that their parents had died eight years ago. They had runaway from home in boyhood. : Ike Watkine, (colored), was kill ed by lightoing at Milledgeville last Phursday afterncon. He was farming on Dr. Hall’s Beckham Mount place, and when the rain came up he sought shelter under a tree. His death was instantaneous. A few days ago, while Gus Mec- Kenzie, living on the place of Miles Bloodworth, in the southern part of Baldwin county, Was going down the steps of his house they gave way, causing him to fall backward and strike his head on the door sill, after which he was unconscious. Mr. McKenzie lived only twenty four hours after th. accident. Elberton has a club of young gentlemen who have entered into an agreement never to allow an oath to pass their lips. If this club had also entered into an agreement that not a drop of liquor should ever pass their lips and stick square to the agreement they would not be distanced in the life race. Cursing is a habit, and those who curse do not mean it or think of it. This club could better by swearing their members to keep away from whisky and not get in the habit of cursing. One of Ellaville’s gallant young digeiples of Blackstone, finding business in the legai profession rather dull at t%’%éason, and hay ing a wife and baby to previde for, laid away his law books, closed his office, doffed his standing collar, congress gaiters and court clothes, hauled on his seediest garments, giezed a trowel, and sallied forth to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow until the law business picked up. He had gotten a job of brick laying,and earned over $lOO before his friends missed him out ot town. At Rome, Friday morning about 2 o’clozk, fire broke out in the rear of C. 1. Barker’s stable, and before the fire department could respond, the entire building was enveloped ina sheet of flames. There were seventeen head of fine horses in the stable, and two omly were saved. The celebrated stallion of Capt. Sam Morgan was one of the number lost. He was valued at $3,000. Other - woining buildings were also con sumed. The total amount of logses is estimated at trom $20,000 to $25,- 000, The press in the fruit shipping districts of this state have been giv ing returns of the car of fruit which netted the largest amount in their particular territory, the highest which was about $9OO. A number of cars have been shipped from here which have turned about that amount hack to the shipper, but the best return of the season is from a car shipped by Judge J. D. Cuning ham, from his orechard near here, which netted $1,286. This beats them all and puts Griffin way ahead. The shipment wae <0 Boston.—Grif fin Sun. Mrs. MaGruder, who lives at Sulphur Springs, in Meriwether county, has a four acre cotton patch that 'has been most thoroughly cultivated this year in a most pecul iar manner. She has three geese that have had the run of the patch all the year, and they have kept it free from the grass. In the spring she owned a goat, which also had the run of the patch, and he ate the ecotton down to a “‘stand,” about as well as a hoe hand could have done it, and as soon as he finished the job he laid down and died. So the only expense the the patch has been for cultivating was the plowing. A FORTUNE-TELLER And His Wife in Jail for Abandoning Their Child. : % On Sunday last a white man aund his wife, with an infant in her arms, were brought from Acworth to this place and placed in jail, under a warrant sworn out before Justice R. M. Mitchell. The war rant charges John W. Kendall and Mary Kendall of having abandoned their off spring and failing to provide for its sup port. ) It seems that on the night of the Ist inst., this couple placed- their two weeks’ old girl baby on the front steps of the reafilenco’”ég ex-SenatorJ. J. Northcutt, of Acworth. On the morming of the 2d, Mr. Northeutt discovered the helpless babe and enquiries were at once made as to who the heartless parents were. It was remembered by some of the citizens that a man and his wife, with a baby, had been seen tramping through the town, and it was surmised that they were the persous who had abandoned the child to the cold charity of the world. Officers were im mediately sent in pursuit and the father and mother were overtaken in Paulding county and charged with the offense They acknowledged it and were brought back and waived trial, and were remanded to Jail. We had a talk with Kendall and his wife in jail. Both were crying and lament ing in woeful language their hard fate. _ He said his home was in Perry county, Indiana, 16 miles from Carrollton, the county seat. He married his wife, Mary Roberts, in Springfield, Mo., six years ago. They came to Georgia last summer. He is 40 years old and his wife 34. We asked him why ke had abandoned his child. He responded, “Well, sir, 1 had been hunting work, was unable to find any, was out of money, nothing to eat, and my wife was almost exhausted for lack of food to nourish the child, and we did not know what else to do to save the child, as the heat and walking was so severe on my wife, that we were unable to go on further with it. I found out that Mr. Northcutt was a good, Christian man, of means, and I thought it was better to place the child in a good, eomfortable home than have to tramp om, and it would probably fare worse. It was hard, pinching poverty that caused it I want to support my child, but I could not get any work to do. The last work 1 had was on the farm of Mr. Joe Fincher at Holly Springs, Cherokee county, Ga.,” where our child was born about two weeks ago.” His wife spoke up, “Yes, sir, that is true. My husband is a good man to me, and he provided for me the best he could.” “What have you been following in At lant?” we inquired. Kendall replied, “1 am a spiritualist and fortune-teller. 1 delivered a lecture on spiritualism at 9} Alabama street, but the city license for fortune telling was so high I was unable to pay it, and I had to leave and hunt work.” “Well, if you could tell fortunes, why is it you didn't foresee the trouble you would get in, if you abandoned your child?’ He was confused and was ucable (o say. “If you can tell fortunes, tell us how you will get out of jail and escape punish ment?’ He said his mind was too much troubled to do so now. We asked him if he didn't think that there was a more sure way to make a fortune than by going through the country teying to dupe the ignorant by telling fortunes? Hesaid, “Oh, 1 can tell things, and people are satisfied and generally pay me for it.” He went hack to his jail trouble and said he thought it was hard to punish him and his wife in their destitution, and if they would let him out and give him work, he would support his child. The child, its mother said, was two weeks old on Wednesday of this week. It is a fat, plump, blue-eyed child, and look ed as if it was a month old. To have to be cradled in a jail is rather a bad beginning for the little girl. Unfortunates who are seeking their health are many. They should remember that the very best advertisement of a remedy is the true testimony from peogle who have used it. Writg to the Blood Balm Co., At lanta, Ga., for their “Book ot Wonders.” It is filled with convincing testimonials from hundreds who have used B. B. B. No other remedy has grown so rapidly in public favor. In localities where its extra ordinary merits have become known it outsells all other remedies. It cleanses, renews and purifies the blood. It creates a healthy apgetite and a healthy digestion. Duty demands that you give it a trial. e et et . HOW DOCTORS CONQUER DEATH. Doctor Walter K. Hammond says : “Af ter a long experience I have come to the conclusion that twothirds of all deaths from coughs, pneumonia and consumption, might be avoided if Aker's English Cough Remedy were only carefully used in time.” This wonderful fiemedy is sold under a positive guarantee by J. D. Malone, Drug gist. MARIETTA, GA., THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. 8, 1889, REBAPTISM REJECTED. THIRTIETH ANNUAL SESSION OF NOONDAY " BAPTIST ASSOCIATION. The Noonday Baptiet Association met at Noonday Church on last Friday in this county. It was expected that a show of hands would be made as to who favored ‘the new doctrine of rebaptism and those who opposed. A Baptist informs us that Dr. Dean who has been Moderator for a number of years but mow a believer in rebaptism, declined to allow his name to 3'be used for refif’”ction. Hon. George ‘Roberts, an ex-member of the Legislature, and 8 believer in the new doctrine, wag nominated for Moderator by Rev. Mr. Vaughan. Immediately, Rev. George S. Tumlin. of Marietta, who is opposed to the rebaptism theory, was placed in nomi nation by Mr. J. R. Buchanan. The vote was taken ard Rev. Mr. Tumlin was elected Moderator by 60 votes tc nine. This showed that delegates in favor of the new doctrine were not very strong in num bers. | Jabez Gault, of Canton, was elected clerk, and J.J. Northcutt, of Acworth,‘ treasurer. Dr. J. H. DeVofie, ot Grifiin,‘ preached the introductory sermon. Rev.' G. A. Nunnally, president of Mercer University, delivered an able address in‘ behalf of that institution. The committee on the state of religion submitted their report, on Saturday, which in substance was as follows; “We deplore the fact that some of our churches have been rebaptising some of their memboars on the ground that they now know their ac ceptance with God without any doubt, after they had once been baptised upon a credible profession of faith. We regard this practice as contrary to Baptist usage, and unseriptural.” Keport was discussed and opvosed by Revs. A. B. Vaughan, E. R. Carswell, R. Anlrews and Hon W H Perkerson. The motion to recognize Rev. M. T. Martin was voted down, but under a personal privi lege to make an explanation he got in his speech. TLose who suppo-ted the report oy speeches were Mr. J. R. Buchanan, Rev. Geo. 8. Tumlin, Jadged. R. Brown, Rev. W. H. Cooper and Kev Thad Pick ett. Vote resulted in the adoption of the report by 40 to 12. ~ A number of delegates had gone home at the late hour when the vote was taken. The preaching committee having ap pointed Rev Thad Pickett to preach on Saturday night, objection was made by Deacon George Roberts, and Mr. Pickett said his text would be, “I know Christ, I know Paul, but who are you?' At this juncture Rev E R Carswell rose and said, “Let him fill the appointment. I will bea watch dog and answer him after he has concluded.” And thus the audience met Saturday night, with the “watch dog” in the pulpit, and Pickett's blade sharpened for the work. Such a scene is rarely witnessed as followed. The speaker thought the “watch dog” would have the hydrophobia vefore he got through. Carswell wanted to know if he preached that way all the time. Pickett replied itis owing to the occasion. The speaker applied the Camp bellite snake story, where the candidate for baptism was afraid to go into the water because he suw a moccasin snake, and he declared that the snake in rebaptism was what was feared. The speaker dealt seri ous blows for a while and characterized the Woodstock church as the dumping ground for the refuse of the Waco, Kingston and other churches. Mr. Martin having been deposed from the ministry at Waco, Tex as, put his letter in the Woodstoek church, and immediately licensed by that church to preach, which he called lightuing ex press work. 1n this connection h= showed the partiality of the Woodstock church Petween the deposed preacher from Waco and the ex'minister from Kingston, allud ing to Mr. McMurray which Martinism had shelved. And then the unfortunate lady who had been rcbaptised out ot the church entirely was broughtin. The “watch dog” was asked how he was going to get her back—rehaptise her until you get her in? No reply. Thus he hurried on for more than two hours, when he turned the weary audience over to Mr. Carswell. He said that nothing had been said that needed an answer, and he proceeded to administer the benediction, when Mr. Pickett stepped in and dismissed his own congregation. Mr. Carswell was doubtless astounded at Mr. Pickett's style, of invec tive, ridicule, sarcasm, anecdote, and readiness to reply, and doubtless will not offer as a “‘watch dog” to reply to the in vincible Pickett again. On Sunday morning the moderator re quested that the groups scattered about the grounds should abandon all distracting arguments and come into the church and worship God in spirit and truth. This was readily concurred in by all. Rev K R Carswell preached in the morning and Rev G S Tumlin in the afternoon. On Monday when the Association met the delegates of Noonday, Woodstock and ‘Cantcn churches claimed that great injus- tice had been done them when the Asso ciation said they had been baptising upon & profession of knowledge—that it wa.s‘ only upon a protession of faith. | As the Association, it was stated, did wish to do those churches amy injustice, while it was well known that Rev Martin and his tollowers had been preaching the doctrine of assurance in way not usual among Baptiste, yet the majority to be on the safe side voluntarily modified their resolution so that it substantially read as follows : “We deplore the agitation that has grown out of certain meetings recently held in our midst, and condemn the prac. tice of some churches in rebaptising a portion of their members, they haviag once been baptised upon a profession of faith, said practice is contrary to Baptist usage and unscriptural.”’ There was considerable stir over the speech ofßev A B Vaughan. He said the time had come for plain languageand he proposed to give it, and he did. It was plain language administered in strong doses. The delegates representing the Noonday, Woodstock and Canton churches asked to withdraw from the Association, which was granted. The delegates will report their action to their churches for confirmation, and atthe next annual meeting of the Association at Acworth, Ga., these three churches will decide whether they will withdraw permanently from the Associa tion or not. ; Jabez Gault, clerk, declined to take the $lO voted him to have the minutes pricted and said he preferred to do without compensation but would go with his brother delegates who had withdrawn. Wr Lem Litchfield, of Acworth, was then elected clerk, and voted the ten dollars to have the minutes printed. By request of Mr Lem Litchfield, Mr Gault read the minutes kepfl‘ by him up to that time. The association | adjourned to meet at Acworth next year, Rev G S Tumlin made a model presiding ; officer, preserving his dignity with compos ure, handling every motion with parlia mentary skill and ability, although there was much to confuse and irritate, A (Baptist brother says, ‘“‘Martinism is meeting with a cold reception and its days will be short. Dr Tucker says ‘its success means the destruction of our depomina tion,’ and a very large portion of Georgia Baptists agree with him, Those who have fully identified themselves with Martin will probably share the doom which seems impending him.” ; . Certainly the sensation of the day in this section is Martinism, The whole affair is very unfortunate for the harmony, unity and prosperity of the Baptist denom-~ ination.

TuEe farmer ought to feel specially grate ful to the Giver of all good for this year's bountiful crop prospects. Thé corn crop will be the largest harvested in Cobb county since the war. The wheat and oat crop has turned out well. The cotton promises a bountiful yield. The fruit crop of peaches, apples, pears, ect., was never larger—the branches of the trees literally breaking with their heavy load of fruit. The melon crop is extra fine and bountiful. The grape yield could not be any better. And what better material blessings could the farmer ask? They have bought economically and labored hard, and the Lord has blessed their labor. The farm ought to be selfssustaining, and we are glad to see this long stride towards it. Let the Farmer's Alliance insist on big food crops, buy as little as possible and save all that they can, and they will come oat on top. Agricultural Society. THe third quarterly meeting of the Cobb ' County Agricultural Society meets with Murs Hill club on Friday before the third ‘Bunday August 16th 1889.
