THE MORMON FEUD.
A History of its Rise in Georgia.
The Burial of Joseph Standing in Salt Lake City—
The Origin of the Trouble in Georgia _ Mor
mons Scattered Through the Upper Por
tion of the State, Etc.
[Atlunta Constitution.]
The killing or Joseph Standing, the young Mor
mon elder, in north Georgia, lias created discussion
all over the country. The interest that it lias drawn
to the section in which he was killed has brought
out some interesting facts concerning the progress
made by the Mormons there. Let us premise what
we have to say by remarking that no one can tell
why t he Mormons have devoted »o much time to the
counties of Cherokee, Georgia, in which they have
been working so loav. They are to not be found
elsewhere, but they seem to be determined upon
captivating the section spoken of. The Mormons
sent tbeir first emissary into Georgia about seven
years ago. This man was named Morgan, and is
described as an extraordinary person. He was
brave, aggressive, shifty and eloquent. He begged
no quarter and made no confessions, but went
ahead preaching his faith as one Inspired. Nothing
could daunt him, and very few men could argue
with him. He was thoroughly prepared upon all
points of his faith, and he argued It everywhere. As
might be expected, he made converts. At first there
were only one or two, but be gradually brought
more over, until he had them scattered over \V al-
ker and adjoining counties pretty freely. Then he
summoned new elders who came out to aid him.
Since then fully one dozeu have been sent into this
section. They were all under the direction ot Elder
Morgan, who was after a while made “superintend
ent ol missions in the south.”
The ground most closely occupied by these prose-
lying elders was Chattooga county, (the half this
side of tlie mountains) Walker county, Catoosa,
Whitfield. They have established a post or two in
Floyd county and in Murray and Dade, and have
gone into Pickeps and Fannin. They drifted on
towards Tennessee and North Carolina, appearing
to sliuu the railroad and stick to the mountainous
districts. They have made many converts in these
counties, and have established what they call Hocks
in many neighborhoods. Their policy is not, as has
been supposed, to take all their converts to Utah.
The truth is, they take only a small proportion of
them. At one time they took over forty converts
on one train, the crowd being gathered from several
counties. At various other times they have sent
batches of teu or twelve. It is probable that 150 or
200 will cover all that they have sent out from North
Georgia. These people were mostly poor and shift
less folks, and generally past middle age. One or
two pretty girls are known to have gone, but the
most of tlie women were old and ugly and not liable
to be pressed into polygamic relations. Many hus
bands and wives went, tlie wives insisting that as
the Mormons based their polygamic theory upon
the fact that Rachel selected new wives for Jacob,
they would be allowed to select new wives lor their
husbands, whenever, if ever, like Rachel, they
deemed it necessary.
But the elders made many converts that still
live in Georgia. These are persons who are
Mormons in everything, save that they do not at
tempt to jiractice under Georgia laws the polygamic
8 art of their creed. They believe in the book of
lormen—in the divine inspiration of Joe Smith—
and in ull theory and teaching of tlie Mormon
church. They have been baptized by thee’ders and
are known as “saints.” Their houses are used as
headpuarters. These native Mormons are scattered
throughout the various counties, in whatexactnum-
bers it is hard to tell. They are usually quiet, illit
erate people of small means, but there are some few
families of properly and intelligence, which have
embraced this iaith. When tney once become con
verted they are never reclaimed. The elders go
through the circuit aud preach to them, pray with
them, and attend to their spiritual wants, just a*
other preachers do with their charges, rhey have
eveu organized a conference of the several congre
gations ol native converts. Joseph Standing was
t he presiding elder of this conference and was on his
way to Borne to attend a conference meeting wiien
he was killtd. In a alk with Senators Hawkins,
of Chattooga, and Clements, of Walker, they both
expressed the belief that the cause was progressing
and growing stronger. “They are gradually getting
new converts,” said Mr. Hawkins, “and I hear they
never lose a single one.’* A mostexcellent preacher
from Whitfield told us that he occasioully heard of
some member of his own or other churches who was
turning to Mormouism.

they have never been aunoyed or threatened, that
we can hear of, except at \ arnells station. They
have bad fair and courteous treatment. At first
they attracted crowds through curiosity—aud at
last built up regular congregations. Tiie people
have become used to them and take no notice of
them.
These elders have been singularly circumspect
and careful. They have not preached licentious
doctrine at all, but have kept the polygamic feature
of their religion in the background. Eveu when
asked if polygamy is allowed in Utah, they reply :
“We have our marriage customs and you have not
to interfere with ours.” Of coarse there has -been a
great deal of general scandal about the morality of
these elders, but we could find no man who believed
it. Said one gentleman : ‘‘I do not know of a single
case where they have been guilty of immoral prac
tices, even iu the families of their ‘saints.’” They
seem to be bent upon their work of proselyting and
upon nothing else. To this they devote ail their en
ergies aud their lives.
It appears that there has been considerable
trouble at the little station of Varnells. Sonne of
the people there, it seems, were determined
not to submit to see Christians led astray and fami
lies broken up by these elders. So they have never
given them auy encouragement.
The Salt Lake News, a paper owned and edited
by Brigham Young and Roger Q. Cannon, has this
to say about Varnells:
From Elder Morgan we have obtained the follow
ing particulars, which will give some idea of the
situation in Georgia, and the circumstances which
h»ve led to the assassination of a young and devoted
servant of the Lord:
Varnell’s Station is a village in Whitfield couuty
Ga., aud was first visited by Elders Morgan and
Standing in October, 1878. They preached, baptized
several persons into the church, organized a branch
and emigrated a family of seven persons, who are
now in Colorado. The people treated these mis
sionaries with the! greatest Kindness and respect,
until the latter part of December, when two
Methodist preachers and two or three Baptist
preachers who were residing at short distances from
the place, came in and commenced circulating the
false reports which usually form the staple argu
ment of their tribe against Mormonlsru, and inci
ted the people to drive them out by violence. Per
secution at once commenced,and in the early part
of April of this year. Elder C. W. Hardy, of this
city; who was then laboring in that vicinity,was
surrounded by a mob led by a Baptist deacon, and
compelled to leave the place. In May, Elders C. H
Hulsey and Thomas Lloyd, of Cache valley, passed
through Varnell’s on t.lielr wuv • „ "Wm-i!■

Standing was a young man of 23 years of age, but
had great courage and ability. If he had lived lie
would have risen to groat prominence In his church.
He was buried in Salt Lake City on Sunday with
impressive ceremonies. .

be abandoned, but will be canvassed with greater
vigor than ever. Eider Morgan himself is com

Efforts a re being made to capture the murderers,
and if caught, they will be prosecuted vigorously.
We learn that there were personal reasons that led
many of the attacking mob to try and drive Stand

in defense of these homes.

PROBLEM 104.
BY 1. K. ZIM, DOUGLAS, UTAH.
BLACK.
It is, we believe, commonly understood to be
a fact that women are less affected than men by
mere personal beauty. And to some extent we
incline to this opinion also. Yet what are call
ed “beauty men” have their worshippers, and
dispense their little favors with as charming a
sense of their own condescension and affability
as their rivals ot the opposite sex. But, after
all, a man who has beaaty, and Dothing more,
is apt to fail, and we doubt if he comes under
the category of the men that girls like, His
serene belief in his own perfections, and his
secure conviction that every woman that comes
under the charm of his soft eyes and elegant
features must fall a victim to their fascinations,
have an irritating effect. And the consequence
of the wide spread search atter admiration makes
such a man difficult, almost impossible, to fix.
A gill, as well as a man, may feel with Touch
stone that “a poor thing, but her own ” is pre
ferable to a thing of beanty shared among her
friends. Beanty, vanity, brutality, obstinacy,
effeminacy, folly and selfishness are all in their
tarns adored by women of all classes. There
fore let ns take a typical girl—one who has seen
more than one man in her life, who does not
live in the country all year ronnd, or in a water
ing place where a man is a man be he never so
little of one. Onr typical girl shall be intellig
ent, good, healthy, and fairly well educated.
And we need not concern ourselves with the
men whom, nuder pressure of circumstances,
snch a girl might be induced to marry. The
question is, what sort of a man does she like ?
It is not the young man—turned out by the
dozen from onr public schools and universities
—without an interest in life but his own amuse
ment. whose whole talk is of himself and his
own proceedings? Her man will be neither an
Adonis nor a Calibau. He will have some slight
power ot sympathizing with her, as well as of ex
pecting her to sympathize with him. He will
be good tempered and obliging, and the less sel
fish the better. Being a sensible girl, sbe will
not look tor the impossibility of an entirely un
selfish man. He will be edneated and intellig
ent, able to talk to cleverer people than himself
without appearing a fool, but he will not, as a
rule, bo a distinctly learned personage. He will
be in the habit of paying to all women pretty
little helpful attentions, which, because they are
done only out of kindness of heart, will not de
tract from Lis manliness. And here, we believe,
we have made our best guess at the quality dear
est to our girl’s heart. Manliness is her require
ment ; by which we mean that she likes a man
j to be so thoroughly brave that he can noi be
brutal ; so true and strong that sbe may trust to
him, instead of having to be the guide, consol
er, comforter, and friend of his uncertain steps.

firm disposition, one who would suffer wrong rath

It seems that Standing himself was apprehensive
of trouble in going to Varnells, as will be shown by
the following correspondence with the governor.
We publish the letters entire, feeling that they will
be very interesting to the public. Standing’s letter
is as follows:
“Van Zakt Store, F'Annin County, Ga., Juue 12,
1879.—Dear Sin As an elder of the church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-days Saints, commonly called Mor-
mons, I take this occasion to address a few lines to
you as the highest officer in the state.
I have recently received several letters from mem
bers of our denomination residing at Varnells sta
tion, Whitfield county, informing ine that elders of
my profession have been obliged, to flee at times for
their lives, as armed men to tne number of forty or
fifty have come ont against them, and have also on
varions occasions entered their houses in search of
said elders.
1 am fully aware, dear sir, that the popular prej
udice is very much against the Mormons, and that
there are minor officers who have apparently
winked at the condition of affairs above referred to.
But I am also aware that the laws of Georgia are
strictly opposed to all lawlessness, and extend to
her citizens the right of worshipping God aoeording
to the dictates ot conscience.
History, however, repeats itself, and the laws,
where prejudice exists, are not always executed
with impartiality.

inclinations must urge him in that direction
He is, in reality, wnat his position implies—a
hardworking servant of the people, and the mar
vel of it all is that he goes daily to his work with
a spirit, a pride and a satisfaction snch as are
supposed to be possessed only by young enthu
siasts. Almost any other man subjected to trou
bles, annoyances and reverses such as Mr. Hall
has suffered for ten years, would have grown
prematurely old and helpless, if, indeed, he es
caped with his reason ; but this remarkable man
blows his troubles away with a laugh and gives
his thought and his strength to what is before
instead of wasting them upon by-gones. Snch
patience, energy, industry, recuperative power
and adaptability to circumstances is simply won
derful, even in this country of men who seem to
have found the secret ot perpetnal youth ; and
there is no American who has cultivated rever
ses or who is atill struggling against them who
will not find cheer for himself and hearty ad
miration for its cause as he contemplates the
World’s busy city editor, A. Oakey Hail.
Napoleon III., it is said, left an Illegitimate
son in Paris, who has become a oafe proprietor,
and who resembles Napoleon HI. remarkably
and is very prond of it. He crossed the Chan
nel to attend the Prince Imperial’s fnneral.

POCKET-BOOK LOST.
It was in the town of B., and Mr. S. had just
concluded some purchases, when he made the
startling discovery that his pocket-book was lost
While searching his pockets he found a buckeye,
and said “ My pocket-book is lost, but there
has been something discovered by Dr. Tabler, of
Nashville, of far greater value. It is the Buckeye
Pile Ointment, which cure Piles in all cases, when
used according to directions. Try it. Price 50
cents a bottle. For sale by Hunt, Rankin & La
mar, Atlanta, Ga. e.o.w.
Coussens’ Compound Honey of Tar has been so
long and favorably known that it needs no enoe-
mium. For coughs, colds, sore throat, hoarseness,
etc., it affords speedy relief, and is a most pleasant
and efficacious remedy, honey and tar being two of
its ingredients. The skill of the chemist, and the
knowledge of a physician were united in its prep
aration, the result being a compound which is the
favorite remedy in this severe climate, and has no
equal as a cure for coughs, colds, hoarseness, bron
chitis, croup, otc. Use Coussens’ Honey of Tar.
