afternoon Senator Roberts, of the
district, went before the Gover-
in support of a petition for the pardon
PP P. J. Herndon, now in the Chatham jail,
under a sentence of life imprisonment.
Herndon was charged in the Appling Su
jierior Court two years ago with the mur
der of Henry Thomas, a uegro, and sen
tenced to imprisonment for'life. The case
went to the Supreme court on a motion for
anew trial, which was denied. It now
comes to tho Governor on a petition for ex
ecutive clemency. The grounds upon which
the petition is based, are that Herndon is a
confirmed invalid imliecile and has been
sufficiently punished.
All assignment was made to-day by H. M.
Bosworth & Cos., wholesale dealers in cof
fees, teas and spices, 27 Broad street, to
Henry Lewis, assignee. The liabilities are
$19,093 and the assets $12,000.
The Governor leaves to-morrow morning
on the East Tennessee railroad for Monti
cello, on a special invitation to attend the
grand railroad celebration and barbecue.
In regard to the new bond demanded of
Collector Crenshaw by the department at
Washington, it is reliably reported that it
was done at the request of Mr. Crenshaw,
voluntarily, to Jrelieve certain sureties on
the present bond.
THE CVCLONE’S TRACES.
A local cyclone passed through West
Georgia last night from south to north. In
Fayette, Coweta, Carupliell, Carrol and
other counties much damage to crop 6 is re
ported and a large number of houses were
swept away. There is no loss of human
life so far as reported.

THE VICTORIOUS THISTLE.
Her Maecotte Again Brings Her in a
Victor—English Yachtsmen Pleaeod.
London, June 2.—The race under the
auspices of the New Thames Yacht Club
took place to-dny. The course was the same
as yesterday—from tho l/ower Hope to the
Mouse light ship and return, a distance of
fifty miles. The start was made at 11:57:30
a. m. iu the following order: Gencsta,
Svbil, Sleuth Hound. Wendur, Thistle,
Neptune, Irex and Fox Hound. The Ge
nesta and Sybil were called luck
for going over the line liefore the gun was
fired. At the Thames head the Thistle was
well away, followed by the Wendur,
lrex, Neptune and Foxhound. AH carried
their jib, foresail, mainsail and square
headed topsails, with the exception of the
Thistle, which had a jib headed topsail.
The lrex on passing the Wendur tbok down
her topsails, and after getting around tho
light ship, the spinnakers also; bigger top
sails and jib to|>sails were then set and till
came along home at a tremendous pace,
finishing in the following order: The Thistle
4:43. tne Irex 4:52, the Wendur 4:69.
the Neptune 5:23, and the Fox Hound
5:44. The Thistle rounded tho Mouse light
at 2:18, plowing through a henvv sen with
the greatest of ease, and simply flying along
close hauled. To-day’s performance con
firms the universal opinion of the Thistle’s
splendid capacity. Some experienced Kng
lsh yachtsmen say she is the finest racing
yacht afloat. The Wendur takes first prize.
The Thistle, although first in, takes the third
place under the time allowance.
A Prominent Carolina Editor Dead.
Raleigh, N. C., June 2.—P. M. Hnle,
lone a leading editor in this city, and for
awhile a resident of New York’ city, as a

Chicago, June 2.—The meeting between
Edward Hanlan and J. A. Bt. John was
held thia evening and another race ar
• ranged between Hanlan and Ofttiduur over
the Pullman course, to take place July 26.
MEXICANS UNEASY.
A Sensational Don Carlos Story Set
ting Them Wild.
City ok Mexico, June 2.—Despite the
fact that even the organs of tlio Clerical
party ridicule the reported plot to incite a
revolution and place Don Carlos on the
throne, and that tho leading politicians of
the Liberal party assert that there is
not a shadow of foundation
for the report, the RepuMicano,
a very influential Liberal journal contains
to-day a significant loading article which
claims to have special information for its
basis. The tone is intensely hostile to the
Clerical party. The writer begins by saying
that he would have regarded the report as
mere offspring of that love of sensation
which is so strong a feature
of the American journalism, had
it not been for certain confirmatory intelli
gence received from an independent source.
This private intelligence hints dimly at the
vast organizations within the Clerical party
for the overthrow of the republic and set
ting up of the throne in its stead. A
number of wealthy Spaniards, resi
dent here, who are infatuated with
wild hojies of "restoring the days of old
Spanish ascendancy, arc said by the writer
to be implicated, but, he adds, the prime
movers are priests—those worthy successors
to Requemada and his compeers—the same
who in 1863 betrayed their country to the
French, and who would not hesitate to do
the same to-day if in that way they could
attain their selfish ends.
THE CLERICAL PARTY DENOUNCED.
The writer then launches into a violent
denunciation of the Clerical party. He
notes, the increasing boldness in the church
party press. “Seldom,” he says, “do we
pick up one of those sheets but w e find it
filled with shameless panegyrics of des
potism nnd bitter invectives against
those who refuse to how their necks to the
yoke of the superstition. Go and hear
our preachers. Instead of inculcat
ing meekness nnd charity as the founder
of our religion, they inveigh against our
constitution and hold its authors up to the
execration of their hearers. The church,
whenever it has been armed with power,
lias used it cruelly. Without going back to
the massacre of St. Bartholomew and
Dragonnades, what occurred in this country
twenty years ago, is sufficient proof thereof.
Their fanaticism is essentially intollerant.
It is a stranger to every sentiment of hu
manity and sweeps every obstacle out
of its i>ath, burning, shooting and hanging
as it goes along, and all for the glory of
God.” The writer calls on the government
to lay aside its temporizing policy and keep
a stern ivutch on the movements of those
men who are already so deeply stained
with the blood of their fellow
tnen. He concluded by warning Don Carlos
against evil advisers, nnd bids him remem
ber “El Cerra de las Companas,” the spot
where Maxmillian, Miramon and Mecia
w ere shot. This vigorous and severely de
nunciatory article excites much comment,
and a reply from the clerical press is looked
for with great interest,
THE KEELING WIDE-SPREAD.
The Monitor Republieano also has ad
vices from the State of Oaxaca, intimating
that the local members of the Church party
are conspiring against the government, nnd
the Ferro Carrutvx, a newspaper published
at Oaxaca, referring to the same
subject, urgos the government to
take stern repressive measures at once.

A FIFTH SUNDAY MEETING.
The Alachua Baptist Association of
Florida Hold One.
Brooksville, Fla., May 31.—A fifth
Sunday meeting took place in the Baptist
houseof worshipat Brooksville, commencing
on Friday before the fifth Sunday of May.
The ladies of the church and congregation had
beautifully decorated the platform in the
rear of the pulpit, by placing thereupon
flower pots, exhibiting a floral view for
variety and beauty seldom surpassed.
The committee on entertainment, had pro
vided pleasant homes for all attending mes
sengers, and had wagons in waiting for
them at the depot to convey them to their
stopping places.
Twenty-seven messengers from seven
churches and four distinguished visitors
were present. The distinguished visitors
were Rev. N. A. Bailey, pastor of the First
Baptist church of Orlando and one of the
editors of the Florida Baptist Witness;
Rev. W. N. Chaudoin, Corresponding Secre
tary and Treasurer of the Baptist Conven
tion of Florida and one of the editors of the
Florida Baptist Witness; Rev. U. W. Hull,
Sunday school and children’s missionary of
the Baptist Convention of Florida, and Sirs.
L. B. Telford, Corresponding Secretary of
woman’s mission work of the Baptist Con
vention of Florida, who was

Mrs. Telford held n special meeting for
ladies and children, in which she addressed
them, relating incidents connected with her
missionary life and exhibiting some idols
worshipped by the Chinese women. The
children’s missionary held a meeting, and
talked and sang for ihe little ones on Sun
day afternoon. Rev. W. W. Chaudoin
preached a grand missionary sermon on
Sunday morning to a large and attentive
congregation, taking uj> a collection nt close
for missions, amounting to $27 (45. ltev. N.
A. Bailey preached several eloquent sermons
to large congregations during the meeting,
and nis sermon on Sunday night on
the “World’s Prayer “ Meeting”
was especially impressive and eloquent.
Several important queries were di-russed
during the meeting, one of which relate! to
tenqiernnee, nr rather the evils of intemper
ance and how to correct thorn. This qure
tion was considered in a mass meeting on
Saturday night. Tho other queries bore
upon missions, Sunday schools, etc., and
elicited the interest and attention due such
important subjects.
On Monday afternoon, May 30. Mrs. Tel
ford met with the Ladies’ Mission Society,
of the Baptist church at, Brooksville, arid
aid<*l them in organizing an associntional
union of the Women's Societies within the

dent., Mrs. W. B. Hare Secretary and Mrs.
W. Y. Trammel Treasurer.
A Fatal Arkansas Affray.
Little Hock, Ark. .June 2. A Conway
(Ark.) s)ieciai says: Information was re
ceived here to-day of a terrible affray be
tween three young farmers during a spelling
liee nt a church in Harvey township, fifteen
miles from Conway.
The men were Dan and Altiert Mabry and
Tom Mqldleton. The latter and Dan Mabry
were rivals for the hand of a neighboring
belle. Saturday night they called Middle
ton out of the church nnd accused him of
lying, seized him, and began stabbing
him with a knife during the affray,
which emptied the church. Several shots
were fired, one of which struck Middleton
and another mortally wounded Dan Mabry.
Albert Mabry was also seriously shot. Dan
died on Monday. AlbeA has’ disappeared

A WARNING TO NORTHERN MANU
FACTURERS.
If They Want Certain Prosperity Let
Them Come South.
The following is the speech of Gov. Gor
don delivered at Nashville last week, the oc
casion being the laying of the corner stone
of the National Exposition of American In
dustries:
Mr. President and my Countrymen:
This is a great day for Tennessee, the South
and the whole country. Philanthropy, pa
triotism ami private interests are all here to
unite in these imposing ceremonies. They
are here to countenance and consecrate the
laying of the corner stone of your temple,
dedicated to industrial progress. Philan
thropy is here; because the greatest philan
thropists are the men who relieve want by
providing employment—enabling the desti
tute to conquer want by their
own exertions. Patriotism is here;
because the greatest patriots are the men
who not only guard every political right,
and every essential principle of government
which protects the liberty of the citizen,
but who, at the same time, secure for their
country, by every legitimate means, all the
material advantages which it* natural re
sources can command. Private interest is
here; Us at use the greatest promoters of
these interests are those who set on foot
great industrial movements, placing the
means of subsistence w ithin the reach of all,
or of the greatest possible number.
By the promise, therefore, of increased
individual and general prosperity, and in
the name of philanthropy and patriotism,
I bid you a most cordial God-speed in your
great'undertaking.l
Nashville’s movement is both timely and
essential. The South has but one alterna
tive; she must either be the mere tributary,
the commercial vassal of other sections, or
she must call into vigorous play every sin p
ing energy, and gird her loins u t4li all her
inherent power, for the contest is before her
in the great race for manufacturing devel
opment, For the pleasures and profits of
agricultural life the Southern States of
America ore, perhaps, the most favored re
gion of this continent, if not of the world.
Blit so long as we confine our energies
solely or mainly to agriculture alone, so
long will the mournful and almost tragic
commercial liistory of the past quarter of a
century continue to repeat itself. With a
soil teeming with riches, with hills and
mountains filled with untold treasures, we
have permitted ourselves to he borne along
l>y a current which carried the reward of
our labor largely to other doors and other
coffers. With skies most benignant, with
climate most balmy, we have permitted
others to gather the harvests which nature
intended for us. With offr very clouds sun
lit and literally saturated with wealth we
have seen them form and float away to pour
their golden showers upon the fields arid
homesteads and cities of other sections.
This has been our past experience. What
shall be our future? Shall we be vassal or
shall we lie sovereign in the gigantic grow th
of the future. We may—we can be either.
If vassal, it will be because we fail to grasp
nnd control the mighty forces to utilize the
vast advantages w ith which nature has so
richly endowed this favored section. If
sovereign, it will be because we have simply
laid our hand in nature’s hand and followed
where she leads. If sovereign, it will be
because we have simply moved along
the path and up to the plane, to which both
heaven and earth are ever inviting us.
My Southern countrymen, are these idle
words or are they sober, momentous truths?
Has nature, or has she not, given to this
section patent and potent advantages for
manufacturing industry as well as for agri
culture? UndoubteiUy she has accorded ad
vantages so marked and so numerous as to
amount almost to prodigality. Undoubtedly
she ha* decreed the South’s ult imate triumph
in manufactures as well as in agriculture;
and she has written her decree on all things
around, above and beneath us aud in
characters so legible and Gild that he who
looks must learn and lie convinced.
It would require a volume to fully de
scribe all the particulars in which the
South's natural superiority as a manufac
turing section consists. It will require but
n few words to show that these advantages
really exist. Take the matter of climate.
It is scarcely possible to overestimate its
value. It costs less expensive houses, less
clothing, less fuel to give warmth and oom
fort to the lalorer and he can therefore live
cheaper and work for less wages, or else
accumulate more on the same wages. With
an equal amount of care he will have more
health, less of trying diseases or of doctors’
bills. But besides all this' the day
is not far distant when the attractions of
our climate will allure to this section the
industrious populations of the frozen re
gions of the North and the great North
west. Climate w ill thus become an inci
dental factor in producing additional con
ditions favorable to manufacturing devel
opment. With a climate, in which out-door
labor may be performed in comfort, dur
ing every month of the year and
with such returns from the soil, nothing
can prevent this section from becom
ing a densely populated region. Tho
truth is, there are so few days, at any sea
son of the year, when labor in the open air
is either disagreeable or unhealthful that
one is tempted to sympathize with the old
plantation negro, who, w hen asked how
much of the year he could work outdoors,
replied. “Well, boss, as near as I can calcu
late, about thirteen mouths in enoh year.”
Now if you will add to these climatic ad
vantages the savings in freights, in insur
ance, in commissions, in storage, etc., you
will find in the matter of cotton spinning,
for instance, that there is a margin of fully
10 jkm* cent, in favor of locating t he factories
in the South and near the cotton fields.
The advantages of ourclimate nre equally
potential In the manufacture of iron anil
other commodities, to which, in each class
of products, additional and special advan
tages might lie enumerated.
In this connection, if time and the occa
sion permitted, I might discuss with possi
ble profit questions of tariff and taxation.
But I have neither the time nor the physical
strength for such discussion. Nor is the oc
casion opportune; but I mny say enough
upon the subject to answer ray imrpose
without either exhausting my strength or
doing violence to the courtesies aud proprie
ties of this hour.
!%me of us are wise enough to predict with
certainty the future policy of the general
government in reference to the tariff; but
nil of us nre wise enough to know that of
all sections of this Union the Southern
States are the most independent of these
government policies. If protection to home
industries is to he the doctrine to guide us hi
tho future, nnd if this protective tariff shall
enable the cotton spinner of the East and
t he, iron-maker of t he North to realize profit,
the advantages which nature has lx ■stowed
upon this section will give tons still broader
margin amj a still greater profit than can
po sildy be realize! by other section*.
It tariff for revenue only, or if free trade
even, should I*' demanded by the popular
will, and if under such policy' manufactur
ing should he dwarfed or dip in other sec
tions, the South would still remain self
pndarted through nature’s laws and still
find her margins for profit. Ido not ignore
the fact that the South labors for the
present under tho disadvantages of a want
oiexjjertaiire nnd trained labor, but these
we eaV butime transfer from the North or
aGpore 'Aong ourselves—hut the North can
rr*yw tifmaicr or acquire our inovtimable
ifitnatife' or other natural advantages.
U- reheat I that no man con pre
df44 what the people of this country will de
c amt in the future as to tariffs rind taxa
tion, but effc- manufacturer ought, to lie
able t>, sv that prudence and safety demand
that lie transfer at I hist a portion of his
pliuit’to that sodtion of our country where
UjamiHrtuier* i*n live with or without gov
ernment protection.
Werll a I’ermsfJ vania iron worker or a
Ma*ac|(*ltt cijMou spinner, I might, and
{tertians w-o.itd, freyor a high protective tar
iff, But tyere t either and wise, I think that
I would flafhaiu neither long; for I would
rentovp OFtM* iwtMfon where inv profits
I will not undertake to predict, the length
of time to elapse before a mighty,.manufac
turing development will occur ill Inis sec
tion. But that it will occur is as sure a* the
laws of the universe are fixed, y* ho or
what can prevent it? How can yo# check
this beautiful Cumberland river inVts on
ward course to the sear You mnY P l * e
across its currents your granite hills, \ut it
will rise above them and overflow ob
structions. You may pile hill upon Mill,
but its tide will still swell and rise nbAye
it and overflow it. Yes. you can check t!V
river’s progress, but to do so you must pil*
your barrier as high as the river’s source—V
as high as the crystal springs that burst
from the mountain’s base, or the show
drifts that melt on the mountain's side, or
the dew drops that tremble on the moun
tain's brow. So to prevent the South's
primacy in manufacturing industry for the
future, you mast build your barriers as
high as heaven itself, for iter pre-eminence
is decreed by heaven’s laws.
THEY WILL DRINK.
New Ways of Dodging the Rhode
Island Prohibitory Law.
“Do you see that boy with the satchel?”
remarked a business man to a Providence
(R. I.) correspondent of the Sun tho other
day. “That is the latest style for carrying
drinks.” The boy, apparently about 9 years
of age, was barefooted, in everyday attire,
and the large satchel was the only indica
tion that he haul any definite object in view
in 1 icing on the street. The satchel, the
writer’s informant explained, contained a
bottle, und the bottle was probably full of
the liquid which can be lawfully bought
only on a physician’s prescription. The boy
did not look as if he was in search of a
doctor.
This is but an instance of the hypocrisy
which has become prevalent under prohibi
tion, and of the methods resorted tom order
fit maintain an appearance of compliance
with the law, or rather to afford the au
thorities an excuse for ignoring its violation.
While the writer was conversing with the
business man before mentioned, an express
wagon pated. It contained several flour
barrels on end.
••That’s the latest style for delivering
whisky and ale,” remarked the well-in
formed denizen. ‘ ‘Every one of those bar
rels contain a keg or liottles, and the driver
is a rumseller.”
And, truly enough, the wagon turned into
a gateway, near a building whose frqnt win
flows were decorated with such signs as
“Bavarian Tonic,” “Non-Intoxicating Hop
Beer,” “Vienna Malt Bitters,” etc. It is
amusing to note the various names under
which formerly honest beverages nre now
disguised. One of the writer's favorite tip
ples in former years was ginger ole, an inno
cent decoction,’with a warming and stimu
lating influence on the stomach. Since pro
hibition set in, the then “ginger ale” has
changed its properties in a most alarming
manner, and, dispensed at the a\ T erage bar,
it now resembles the strongest brew that
ever paid a government tax in Albany or
New Hampshire. Hop and root beers have
also become demoralized, and the only safe
course for a consistent abstainer is to confine
himself to milk, ice cream and tea. Coffee
also is usually above suspicion, though liable
to be flavored with brandy.
But the law is practically a dead letter.
Even the most respectable drug stores treat
it with contempt. “I don’t hesitate to sell
liquor when I am satisfied it is needed for
sickness,” said a leading druggist, “although
I xvill not sell it for a beverage. ” And there
is no concealment about these sales, a label
with the name of the liquor sold being pasted
upon the bottle, just as in the case of any
medicine. It is worth noting that no drug
gist has been prosecuted, in I’rox'idenee at
least, for bona fide sales of liquor for use in
sickness, the authorities not seeming to care
to test public sentiment on this issue. In
fact, the legal machinery of the State and
of municipalities, active and efficient in
dealing with recognized crimes, is affected
with paralysis when prohibition is touched.
THEY ALL GAMBLE.
Even the Office Boy Speculates in Wall
Street.
Fniin the Sew York Tribune.
Mr. Von Goldstein telegraphs his broker:
“Sell ten thousand Northwest.” The broker
says to himself: “Ah! the old fox is going
to get out.” He tosses the order to the
bookkeeper and rushes down to the ex
change.
The bookkeeper, before entering it. takes
n S2O bill from the till, debts himself with it
on the books, and, calling a messenger boy,
says to him: “Run to Handcuffs & Darby
with this note and money. Fly!” The boy
tiles out of the office and around the corner,
and then rends the note: “Sell for me twenty
shares Northwestern at 125.” Instead of
going to the bucket shop in New street, the
boy runs up Broadway to Wall, down Wall
and Exchange place, and finally to the des
tined shop. But in the meantime he has
met half a dozen or more of “pals,” and has
said to them: “.Say, cully, look at this.
HereN a point for ver. Got any money t
Lemme have it.” From one and the other
he gets 25c., or £l, or something
until he probably succeeds in raising
the necessary $5 —the lowest sum
you can play on in a bucket shop. Then he
goes, before delivering his message, to
another bucket shop and cries out to the
clerk, ‘Say, I’ll sell you five N. W. at 125.”
The clerk takes his order and the money,
halances a <|iiarter on his finger and says:
“Whehe did you get that, sonny!” Sonny
reaches out for the quarter and replies in
breathless haste, “Old Goldstein ordered
our Ixiss to sell out this morning.”
Meanwhile the bookkeeper has handed the
order to the telegraph operator, and he ap
pears to be engaged for several minutes in
calling up the o[>erator who has to take the
order for transmission to the gentleman rep
resenting the Ann on the stock exchange.
In reality he is talking to some of his chums
on this "point," and asking them to “go it”
