The fifth annual convention of the State Woman’s Christian Temperance Union ad journed yesterday afternoon. The morning session was practically an experience meet ing. Mrs. Wells, of Tennessee; Miss Jennie Smith, Mrs. Sibley, Miss Stokes, Mrs, Dr. Blanchard and others of the delegates told how they became interested in temperance work, what obstacles they had to overcome and what they have accomplished. Mrs. Wells’ and Ms’s. Sibley's graphic pictures of their early experience greatly interested tho younger delegates. Mrs. Wells spoke briefly regarding wom an's influence on the son, brother and hus liand, and urged temperance women every where to make use of this God-given power. “Why, ladies,” she said, ‘we are -00.000 strong. Just think of it! Say each of these temperance mothers has a boy old •uough to vote. What an army that makes! Then add the votes of the" 200,000 bus bands, for of course you know we lead the dear men and they always obey us, and there is an army of 400,000 for' God, and home and native land.” Mrs. Weils was listened to with profound attention and was loudly applauded. The use of impure and adulterated wine at the sacrament was discussed. Tho union in the strongest terms denounced the sacri lege. While it cannot, nor does it desire to dictate to the ministry, yet it begs them to use their influence in this direction and to see t hat only the pure juice of the grajie is used for sacramental purposes.

And lastly, but by no means least, we gratefully acknowledge our Indebtedness to the Young Woman g Christian Temperance Union for nu merous courtesies and for the enjoyable recep tion given us on Thursday night. Tiiat the thanks of the convention bv t* !. b red to Mrts. Gustin and the lady arid gentlemen members of the Baptist choir who kindly gave their services on Tuesday right. THE CLOSING SCEXE3. Peer., J. K. Brumiage, biblo colporteur, and Rev. M. O. G. Minglcdorff, of Spring field, were then introduced to the conven tion and the former made a short but stir ring address on woman's work. Several others of the ck-rgv made short addresses and the ladies applauded loudly. Mis Stoke* announced that Muj. G. A. Whitchaad, General Passenger Agent of tiie Central railroad, had given notice that if any of the delegate* desire* l to st op in the city for a few days their return tickets would "be extended. A rising vote of thanks was tendered Mai. Whitehead, of the Central, and Hunt. Fleming, of tin* Savannah, Florida and Western, and Mr. Slaughter, at Atlanta, for favors to the delegates. Considerable dismay was caused at this point by the al 'rupt announcement that a hail been seat for and would tm very shortly to take a group picture convention. Tile idea of springing | l trap on the ladies was a cruel one. the hard-hearted rejioilers felt the evident distres ■Till.' ■ no chance to "prim up," to if bung was in its place, or the fciSifjr ve-lock” hanging right and the of mind was painful. The HPMn, r the party iutenirted tho was the trouble. The ivjsirtei's on this curious fact of Hutur.'il pi •• but could not explain it satisfac- After the photograph was taken tho delegates joined nonds and formed in n flrcla Mrs. Hiblcy sjioke briefly, her falter ing voice showing the depth of feeling the parting occasioned, and after singing “Blest Be tlw Tie That Binds” aud a short prayer by Miss Stokes tho convention adjourned. Altogether the convention was a create Vuceess. The attendance was idHjl the reports wore more .yilU. the general work in a jJJ, v sntisfaetV^”h ape than ut uny provi -sms convention. 'TV reports show that a 'wonderful amount of'WtT* “its been a< •corn 's' nibbed since the State ualfOJvas organised, and the interest is incmwlnfcVl the time. With twenty five unions now in fin. work ing order wui a Btate inemliorship of fully 1,1500, tlio prospect* are good for doubling the immm ' work accomplished, and the holding of the convention here will, it is believed, result in ! greatly increased interest in local temper ance organizations. LAST NIGHT'S MEETING. A large and enthusiastic audience greeted the "cold water'” orators last night. Every seat in Masonic Hall was occupied, the aisles filled and even the galleries were filled. The exercises began with prayer by Rev. J. W. Rogan, followed by the song “The Sword of Bunker Hill,” sung as only Prof. Beardslee can sing it. Mr. Rogan spoke briefly. He was pleased, he said, to co-operate with the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, and he compli mented the ladies for the masterly maimer in which they conducted this convention. He alluded to the excellent reports received by them from ail parts of the State aegard ing temperance work. The union, he re marked, nas a strong adversary to fight— -210,000 manufacturers and selieas of the ac cursed stuff, backed by millions of capital— and it needs all the help that temperance men and women can give. But, he asked, who can withstand the pressure of 200.000 women, united in one earnest purpose, when mast of us know that one woman always has her own way, and accomplishes her ob ject if she sets her mind on it. Mr. Rogan's address was replete with strong and ad mirably-made points, and it was received with loud applause. Rev. T. T. Christian, of Trinity church, made a 5-minute’s speech: “If people,” he said, “are protected from adulterated or spoiled food, why not from the gresitest evil in the world—the one affecting their health the most.” He alluded to the saloon-keepers in a kindly spirit, saying that he did not purpose to abuse them, but rather to con vert them. WHAT SALOON-KEEPERS CAN DO. Mre. Chapin stepped forward and said that she only was there to answer the ques tion, “What will saloon-keepers do if they quit their business,” which was sent in by a saloon-keeper. She started off in a breezy manner, saying that as the trade was not one of God's it was not right. God never made a man whom He is not able to keep. “Quit the business,” she said, “and rely on Him for help. “It is a business of blood, and what mat ters it if you gain tho whole world and lose your own soul! lam sorry that all church members do not live up to prohibition. Wine on the table, on the sideboards—these are the stepping stones to drunkenness. These people are not the pillars of the church—they aro merely pillar-shams.” She condemned the liquor traffic in unmeasured terms, drew graphic pictures of the suffer ing caused by it to innocent women aud children, and implored the men of the coun try to rally around their homos and de fend tiv m from the evil that seeks to de stroy them. Mrs. Wells made a short, address giving a practical turn to the question, and spoke of the immense sums spent for jails, peniten tiaries, asylums, and the ruin and suffering caused by the manufacture and sale of liquor. She depicted the desolation wrought by the traffic, and implored her hearers to enlist to fight against it. One of the officers of the convention re cited two temperance selections, “How Jamie Came Home” and “The Women of Michigan’s Reply to the Liquor Sellers. ’> They were rendered in an admirable man ner, tho gestures and carefully modulated tones doing full j ustice to the eloquent words. THE CLOSING MEETING. At the close of the meeting Miss Stokes, in behalf of Mrs. Booz, Superintendent of Forest City Juvenile Temple No 7, of this city, who was too ill to be present, presented Mi s. Sibley, Mrs. Chapin and Mrs. Wells each with a handsome perfume casket, a gift from the children. The recipients were greatly surprised at this token of love and remembrance, and responded feelingly. Mrs. Chapin in turn presented Miss Stokes with a beautiful perfume casket. The audience applauded heartily and enjoyed the presentation seemingly us much as either the donors or recipients. After the bene diction many remained to enjoy the refresh ments provided by the ladies. Mrs. Chapin will leave this morning for Charleston for a brief rest. Tuesday she will leave there for Mississippi to attend the State convention, and thence North to ful fill a number of lecture engagements. Mrs. Wells leaves also to-day for Chattanooga. Some of the delegates will remain in the citv a day or two longer, but most of them will leave on this morning’s trains for their homes. THE WORK IN NORTn CAROLINA. A Morning News reporter in talking with a number of delegates in regard to the convention inquired of the North Carolina representative what she thought of the ses sion as a whole. “To tell you frankly,” she said with a smile, “this work is rather new ito me. It is the first convention I ever at tended outside of my native State, and I am hardly competent to judge. But I can say that t am delighted with the interest 'manifested and the manner in which the business is transacted. It seems to me noth ing can withstand such a power as that exerted by the union, composed, as it is, of represenlatativo ladies from all parts of your beautiful State. Mrs. Sibley is a noble Christian woman, ami a hard, earnest worker for our noble cause. “How is the work progressing in North Carolina?” “Grandly,” was the quick reply. “Our State organization is about the same ago as yours here, and last year’s convention was file first one 1 ever attended. The cause is gaining ground everywhere, and we are greatly encouraged. We young people are adding our mite of influence to the work, too. lam glad to see so many young ladies lierc at this con vention, for you know, or ought to,” she added,naively, "that whon the young ladies become interested in any cause, in deep earnest, it is bound to be a success.” The reporter assented to this self-evident propo sition aud inquired regarding tho member ship in North Carolina. “I hardly know. I flare say about the same os here. There are some twenty-five unions and fully 1,200 members. Next year we hope to report double that membership.” “Is high license endorsed by the North Carolina Stuto union T’ “No, I believe not. lam sure of it. We want prohibition —no half-way measure. And the prospects are very favorable to ward securing it. lam young in the work yet, but am deeply interested in it. It is a grand work for its women and I think we shall triumph, aud soon, too!"

Maxwell has served several sentences in jail and in the penitentiary, and was released from tho chain-gang less than a month ago.

Up to the fifth inning the game was very pretty, but after that Somers, who was in the box for the visitors, gave out, and was pounded unmercifully.

The map plate showing the route of the Plant Steamship Line has been changed to Spanish. These indicate that the Cuban business is being gradually cap tured by this system. Hawkinsville and the Atlanta Road. Hawkinsville has withdrawn its subscrip tion of $39,000 to the Atlanta and Hawkins ville railroad, because the projected line does not run within twelve miles of that place. It is now proposed to build a road to Perry, a distance of twenty miles, and con nect with the Central railroad system. The citizens of Hawkinsville are in hopes that the Central will extend its line for that purpose; if not they will try to get those who subscribed the $30,000 to the Atlanta scheme to give their subscrip tions toward building the road to Perry. A committee from Hawkinsville held a con ference recently with President Alexander and he gave the committee encouragement, that the Central will do what it can in that direction. Summer Traffic Increasing. Formerly the advent of summer in the South was the signal for the railroads to take off one or m'ore trains and for all kinds of business to indulge in a sort of siesta for a month or two. The Savannah, Florida and Western, however, takes a contrary view of the case, and their business seems to be increasing every summer. An extra train has been put on, leaving Jacksonville at about 5:15 p. m., and is a through train for nearly 100 miles. Two summers ago no sleepers went into Jacksonville. Now there are two New York sleepers each way. The passenger business for May, always” a light month, has held up wonderfully,” and they expect a gobcl summer’s travel. The Cuban trade and travel is still large, and from present indications will increase instead of diminish during the summer months. The Olivette is proving a very popular steamer, and her accommodations are still taxed heavily on every trip. The Memphis and Charleston’s Lease. The attempt by the Memphis and Charles ton stockholders to break the lease held on the road by the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia people is causing considerable stir in Tennessee railroad circles. The dis satisfaction a rnong the Memphis and Charles ton stockholders is not of recant origin, but date 6 back to last fall, when the deal was consummated by which the Richmond and Danville scooped the East Tennessee system. Under the terms of the deal all leased lines were included, and, of course, the Memphis and Charleston went in with the rest. The stockholders were not pleased with this, and when the policy of the Richmond and Danville toward their line be came known a month ago a howl went up from the stockholders. They de nounced the alliance and said it would throttle their interests if carried out. Seeing they were powerless to prevent it, so far as opposition would go, they concluded to make an effort to break the lease of the East Ten nessee. They have at last arranged a plan whereby they hope to succeed. They will throw the matter into the hands of the Federal courts and ask that a receiver be appointed to fake charge of the line at once, pending a decision of the courts. They will begin the proceedings at once. Henderson Wants a Railroad. Henderson held a big railroad meeting this week and adopted these resolutions: Where. vs. We, the citizens of Henderson and vicinity, feel that we cannot afford longer to be without the advantages of a railroad in this age of improvement; ana. Whereas. We have heard of the probahle lo cation of the said road four miles west of us; therefore, be it Resolved. That we earnestly desire that the said Atlanta and Hawkinsville railroad be lo cated through this place, and we pledge our best efforts to secure the same by co-operating with the authorities of said road in every possi ble way. Resoived, That we complete our subscription promised said road, and thereby comply with the conditions imposed by Mr. Harris in order to secure the benefit of his road. Resolved. That it is our opiuion that the best interest of the said road would be better served by locating theii line through this place, ::s it would more evenly divide that territory lying between the Flint and Ocmulgee rivers, and thereby control that country east of us, which otherwise would contribute to the support of another system of roads. Resolved, That we regret to hear of this prob able location of said road west of us. and would ask the authorities of the road to make good their promise to us. upon a proper compliance on our part with the conditions named. Dyspepsia and Torpid Liver. Inscrance Department, ) Albany, N. Y., May 14, 1885. j I have been a great sufferer from dyspep sia, water brash, acid stomach and consti pation for the last fifteen months. Some time ago I read in one of Brandreth’s Calen dars the case of a gentleman in Albany who was cured of a similar affliction by Using Allcock’s Porous Plasters. Knowing the gentleman referred to in said calendar, I purchased three—one I wore on the pit of tiie stomach and two on my right side. I wore them a week, then took a bath and re moved the plasters. I washed the places with cologne, nibbed them dry and then ap plied fresh Allcock’s Porous Plasters. I found my apietite and digestion much im lmoved iii two weeks; in three weeks my bowels became regular, and now, after using the plasters for four weeks, I find myself entirely cured.
