Tie Need tit Mission*.
At the day meetings in Tent WUliston,
the first address was delivered by Rev. Dr.
A. C. Melrf-an of Cincinnati. His topic
was "The Great Need of Missions.” The
following is an extract from his address:
"Where the gospel has not gone, woman
is degraded with an infinite degration. Her
intellect Is dwarfed; the worst passion? of
the soul are developed, in the non-Chris
tian world there is no incentive to indus
try and economy. Bail government, super
stition and ignorance prevent prosperity.
There is small regard for human being.
Human sacrifices are frequently offered.
In these lands sin is enthroned, deified and
wot stuped. Crime and shame and sorrow
are everywhere. The people are without
hope, because they are without God. The
whole continent of Asia is the scene of
barbarities, tortures, cruel punishments,
oppression and official corruption. Tnese
nations need the engineer, the social econo
mist. the humanitarian, the moralist, but
more than ail do they need the evangelist.
The acceptance of Christ as Saviour and
Lord makes all things new. Under his
beneficent icign the nations rejoice in lib
erty and justice and progress. There is sal
vation in Christ, and there is salvation in
none other; lor there is none other name
given under heaven among men whereby
we must be saved."
Nation’s Greatest Peril.
One of the principal addresses in Tent
AVilliston was made by Rev. C. N. Howard
of Rochester, N. Y., endured "Our Coun
try's Greatest Peril.” Among other things
he said:
“The biggest farce outside of perdition
are the laws on the statute books of Amer
ica that were passed to regulate the sa
locn. The license laws of America are the
big gest humbug that language ever fram
ed into law. Under them, a mother's boy is
not safe until after he gets into the peni
tentiary. Regulation will plant a saloon
opposite the factory, on every corner of
the main street, and next door to a hoy s
home, burn out his manhood, school him
in crime, and send him to state’s prison,
and after bolting the ponderous door
stands upon the threshold with colossal
mockery and say to the liquor traffic:
•Thou shah not come in.’
"The brewer’s national organ says: ’lf
we find that one political party is against
us, we must support the other. Self-protec
tion must be our only guide. Beer first and
then politicians.’ That is good gospel for
us. If you find the first party opposed to
your demands for the prohibition of the
saloon support the second; if you find the
second in league with the saloon support
the third; if, for conscientious reasons you
are unable to support that, make one of
your own. First right, then politics. First
God, then politicians. On such a platform
as that the Christian citizens of America
could shake the throne of perdition. There
is enough moral dynamite in this signal
gathering to bow up the rum power within
the lives of men whose deeds are already
gray.”
The Race Problem.
Rev. Dr. W. W. Boyd of St. Louis de
livered an address on "Our Country’®
Many Problems.” He discussed the two
questions of immigration and the race
ptoblem. For solving of the immigration
problem he proposed three remedies—to
maintain American ideals at their highest
point by an aroused public sentiment; to
legislate against the admittance of the
pauper and vicious classes of Europe, and
to bring to bear a combined and quick
ened Christianity upon the stranger with
in our grtes. As to the race problem, the
speaker said that in his judgment the gov
ernment made a great mistake, which it
will not be apt to repeat in the Philip
pines, when it nut in the. hands of the
negro all the privileges and franchises of
the freest government on the globe.
"There are two sides to the race prob
lem.” said Dr. Boyd. "There is not a
white man in the North, if his wife or
daughter were outraged by a beast, would
not rush summarily to vengeance. But
that does not excuse, though It may pal
liate the diabolical crime of lynching, and
the hour is at hand when decisive steps
must be taken to abolish it. Christianity
must settle this question; legislation can
not do it.”
Rev. Charles E. Jefferson of New York
spoke upon “Our Country’s One Salva
tion.”
Avon K ON HRLNSAVICK’S BAR.
Probabilities Are That It AVill Be
Completed This AVeek.
Brunswick, (la., July 10.—Capt. Ben. A.
Fahm, who has charge of the Goodyear
dynamite work on the ocean bar says that
the work on the bar will probably be com
pleted this week. If fair weather prevails
there seems to be no doubt that it will be
put through.
When the work Is finished a local survey
will be held and if the survey shows the
depth of water that they expect to get
then the Secretary of the Treasury will
be requested to order a survey under the
direction of the United S ates coast and
geodetic survey derailment. The present
work is to secure sufficient depth to get
the additional $9 000 now waiting at Wash
ington for them, and there are good indi
cations that they will get it.
Special Term In Camden.
Brunswick. Ga., July 10.—Judge J. W.
Bennet and attorneys interested in matters
pending in Camden Sugerior Court will
leave here to-mrrow morning for Cam
den, where a special term will be conven
ed to settle some matters connected with
the recent receiver’s sale of the Bailey es
tate property, and other cases. Judge S!
C. Atkinson, Col. W. E. Kay, Judge Spen
cer R. Atkinson and others of the local
and Savannah and Atlanta bars will be
present at this special term of court.
POLITICAL CURIOSITIES.
Dr. 1.. G. Rrough ton mid ex-Capt.
Jollier AN ill Run for Council.
Atlanta, July Id—The old saying that
politics makes strange bedfellows Is, it
appears, to have a striking verification in
the next municipal campaign in this city.
Dr. L. G. Broughton, the sensational
preacher, who jumped upon Mayor Wood
ward because of his . xecssive indulgence
in the cup that cheers, demanding his ex
pulsion from the head of the city govern
ment, and Capt. John t’. Joiner, who was
dismissed from the police force for .a sim
ilar infraction of the rules of sobriety,
though he had served twenty years
without getting drunk, are the probable
principals in this illustration of the old
saw.
According to the reports to-day, Dr.
Broughton is going to he run for Council,
that he and his followers may have an
opening in the city government. If he
•should get in. the long-haired pastor of
the Tabernacle Chur, h would fairly bleach
things with his purifying eloquence, lie
Is to he run as a vindication, os as a re
buke to the present Council for its refu
sal to turn the Mayor out at Ihe demand
of Dr. Broughton.
In marked contrast to this is the Joiner
movement, which is in a fair way to cul
minate in the candidacy of the former po
liceman. his friends holding that he is en
titled to a vote of confidence.
On the one hand ('apt. Joiner will be
put up because he was harshly treated for
gratifying his jag tab at, and on the other
Dr. Broughton is to be run because he did
not succeed in having Mayor Woodward
subjected to the same disciplining that
Joiner received.
PLANS MADE FOR ItKAAEV DAV.
Admiral AA’ill Ride Under an Arcli
Which AA ill tint g 10,000.
New York, July It),—Plans for the Dewey
celebration were outlined at the meeting
of the committee on plan and scopd to
day.
It has been practically decided that there

J. Q. A. Ward, representing the sculp
ture society, sent a communication to the
committee offering to sumnlt free designs
for the arch and his offer was accepted.
it was decided also to have two large
civic floats In the naval parade, one typi
fying victory, and the other peace. Ger
man singing socities, including the Arlon,
Liederkranz and Manna choir will be in
vited to fill these floats with their mem
bers to sing a hymn of to the
admiral in the lower bay.
PARDON ASKED FOR HODGES.
I* Serving a Five-Year Sentence for
Killing III* Uncle.
Atlanta, Juiy 10.—Hon. W. S. West 6f
Valdosta has made application to Gov.
Candler for executive clemency In behalf
of I. A. Hodges of Lowndes county, now
serving out a sentence of five years in the
penitentiary for killing his uncle.
Some time ago the pardon board heard
the case, but refused to make a recom
mendation. and Mr. West has now taken
the matter up again with the Governor,
and a hearing will be held in a few days,
unless other business of the executive de
partment snould interfere.
The Hodges family is of good standing
in Lowndes and considerable interest is
felt in the case. Young Hodges and his
uncle were in a bitter quarrel with each
other because of an alleged slander circu
lated by the uncle. At an election, at
which the uncle was a manager, young
Hodges vote was challenged, which precip
itated the fight in which the young man
cut his uncle lo death.

CUBAN PAPERS MAIiF, PROTEST.
Again at Printing Brigand Stiirlos,
Then They Print Them.
Havana, July 10. Lit Lueha to-day in an
editorial regarding the stories of brigand
age published in the American and Cuban
press complains of their frequent occur
rence, and says;
‘‘Those alarming tales are generally put
Into circulation by planters in isolated
disiriots who want garrisons “f Am ri an
soldiers and who fear retaliation from the
Cubans for real or fancied grievances: by
planters wishing for prob oiion against
cattle thieves, and beHoving that rural
police aie needed, with n view of giving
employ men! to men who woul i otherwise
menace tin community; by the insurgents
themselves who have Income accustomed
to a nomadic existence and desire, lo con
tinue is rural*; b.v Spaniards anxious lo
convince the world that the Cubans are
unreliable, and by speculators who desire
to depreciate values.”
The paper alludes to Gen. Wilson’s ie
cent order forbidding the rural guards to
give any information to the press, and
says that if there were no attempts at
concealment and everything were given
unrest vedly to the papers, there would
probabiy be less sensationalism.
The same issue that contained this edi
torial contained also in its telegraphic col
umns bandit stories from Puerto Principe,
Maznnillo and Cienfuegos.
Recently the Havana abused its
contemporary generally for publishing
bandit stories. On the following day li
devoted an entire column to a wild yarn
from- G-uanajay.
Asa mutt* r of fact, every paper In Ha
vana has objected to such publications*
on the i>art of its rivals.
In most of those cases, when the evi
dence Is carefully sifted, it turns out that
the alleged brigandage Is petty thievery,
hut there is no doubt that bandits exist
at several points, bands of from ten to
fifty men who have not the pluck to go
into the cities and hold up banks and rail
road trains, but prefer to take Isolated
stores, raid smalt! villages and swoop
down upon distant plantations.
El Reconcentrado publishes an extract
from r*a Verda of Cienfuegos headed: “Po
lice News,” which it followed by three
blank lines and then the display sentence,
“This section prohibited hy superior or
der.”
Commenting upon the censorship, El
Reconcentrado asks what is going on at
Cicnfuegos that it should be deemed neces
sary to suppress facts in this important
branch of the administration.
PRELATE’S II IT ON MARK TWAIN.
Kept Him Front Telling ldo for n
VI hole Afternoon.
From the New York World.
London, July B.—ln resi>onse at the Ho
tel Cecil dinner to the toast “The Day We
Celebrate,” Mark Twain said in part:
“Yesterday I was at a luncheon party. At
the end of that party a great dignitary of
the English Established Church went
away half an hour before anybody else,
and carried off my hat. He went out first
and, of course, he had his choice of hats.
Asa rule I try to get out first myself, but
I hold that his was an Innocent, uncon
scious act, due, perhaps, to heredity. Ho
was -kinking about ecclesiastical matters,
and when a man Is In that condition of
mind he will take anybody’s ha*. The re
sult was iha fo’- the whexe afternoon I
was under Die influence of nis clerical hat
and could not tell a lie. Of course, he
was under a reverse Influence.”

til he reached the a 1-lmportant part and

do,” responded the fair one. “What are
th* mitigating circumstances, if any?” he
absently inquired.—Chicago News.
