TOCCOA, GEORGIA, HAY 20, I898.
MR. BERNER SPEAKS.
To an attentive Toccoa Audience Last
Saturday.
Hon. R. L. Berner, candidate for
governor, spoke to the people of
Toccoa and vicinity last Saturday
afternoon. His coming had not
been well circulated, and as a con¬
sequence his audience was not large,
numbering about 150.
Mr. Berner was introduced by
Mr. J.C. Edwards, of Clarkesville.
Mr. Berner was fully at himself,
and made a splendid imprsoion up¬
on his hearers. Though he spoke
for three hours, no one seemed to
tire.
By quite a number, his speech
was spoken of as one of the best
campaign arguments ever delivered
in Toccoa. Mr. Berner is a master
in ingenius argument, and makes
his side appear to the very best ad¬
vantage. Some of his eloquent
flights, and searching sarcastic re¬
ferences, aroused quite a stir of en¬
thusiasm.
Headquarters Democratic Execu¬
tive Committee, Haber¬
sham County.
There being some dissatisfaction
concerning the uniform ticket adop-
ted by the Executive Committee,
and the wishes of the candidates
and the people being what the Ex-
ecutive Committee desire to carry
out as far as possible, and in order
that there may be a full discussion
of the matter and that the entire
committee may act with all the
lights before them, a meeting of
the Executive Committee is called
to meet at Clarkesville on Tuesday
May 34th, 1898, at 11 o’clock a. m.
It is the desire of the Executive
Committee that the candidates and
other democrats feeling an interest
in the matter meet with the
Executive Committee, and discuss
the matter freely and fully. A full
attendance is desired

DR. W. A. CANDLER
ELECTED BISHOP.
The Well Known President of Em¬
ory College Leads the Ballot
in the Bishopric Election
Baltimore, May 17.—The Rev.
Dr. Warren A. Candler, of Oxford,
Ga., and the Rev. H. C. Morrison,
of Nashville, Tenn., were elected
bishops from Methodist Episcopal
Church South today by the general
conference in session here. It is
said to have been the most exciting
election ever held by the conference.
Only two ballots were taken, but
a large proportion of the delegates
were of the opinion that Rev. Dr.
Hoss, of Nashville, was also elect¬
ed. The discussion on this point
was lively. The whole number of
votes cast on the second ballot was
255, and Bishop Wilson, who was
presiding, announced that 128 were
required to elect. Dr. Candler re¬
ceived 148, Dr. Morrison 140, and
Dr. Hoss 129. The conference had
started out to elect only two bish-
ops. This limit was determined
upon several days ago. As soon as
Bishop Wilson announced that Drs.
Candler and Morrison had been
elected, there was a storm of pro¬
test. It was claimed that Dr. Hoss
; W as also elected,
Motions were offered thick and
fast. Substitutes and amendments
W ere tacked on. Questions of or-
der and privilege filled the air.
Frequent motions to adjourn were
j rrade. The confusion grew. Only
men with stentorian vioces had any
chance at all, either of recognition
j by the chair, or of hearing by the
conference. The struggle was end-
| ed by a vote to adjourn in the midst
0 f business.
j The effect is questioned.
claim that Dr. Hoss has been elect
e( j am i others claim not. It is gen-
erallv agreed that Drs. Candler.and
Morrison are elected. Delegates
are freely predicting that Dr.
will be elected tomorrow.
The method
will be either as a reconsideration,
oj as a special new action to be
taken by the conference. The mere
mention of it is expected to arouse
a lively parliamentary skirmish.
LONG SAYS THE
OREGON IS SAFE.
Washington, May iS—Secretary
Long gave out the welcome infor¬
mation today that the battleship
Oregon, the second largest craft in
the American navy, had successful¬
ly completed her long trip from San
Francisco, making the entire circuit
of South America,and was now safe.
Whether or not she has joined Ad¬
miral Sampson’s fleet, the secretary
would not say.
The rigid secrecy of the navy de¬
partment was relaxed only enough
to make known the best news the
navy department had received since
the battle of Manila, as it meant
not only that the Oregon was out
of harm’s way from a concerted
attack on this one ship by the
whole Spanish squadron, now in
Southern waters, but also that her
great fighting strength would be
added to Admiral Sampson’s force
in the near future, if indeed it had
not already augmented the admir¬
al’s strength.
The Oregon left San Francisco
about six week’s ago, before the
war had opened, and at that time
it was not admitted that she was to
join the ships in Atlantic waters.
She stopped at Callao for dispatch¬
es and then went round the horn
and then up the east coast of South
America. In all tha trip covered
more than 13,000 miles. The last
stretch from Bahia to the \\ ind-
ward islands, has been followed
with anxiety by man> naval offi.
jeers, tbe Spanish for b >' a squadron stran S e coincidence of armored
cruisers and torpedo boats ap-
j proached the \\ indward islands at
the very time the Oregon was due
there.
APPREHEXSIVE OF TORPEDO BOATS.
It had been suspected that the
Spanish admiral would try to inter¬
cept the battleship with his superior
force, and before leaving Bahia
Captain Clark, of the Oregon, was
warned to keep a close lookout for
the Spanish fleet. In reply, Cap¬
tain Clark expressed his confidence
in being able to hold his own single-
handed with the Oregon against all
the Spanish cruisers. The only
apprebenson he felt was as to the
torpedo boats under the Spanish
admiral’s command, for these are a
new and practically unknown ele¬
ment against the modern battle¬
ships, and Captain Clark, while
confident of holding out against
these also,said a chance blow might
be struck by them.
Notwithstanding Captain Clark’s
assurances, the navy department
continued to feel that a meeting be¬
tween the squadron and the Ameri¬
can battleship on which uneaqual
terms was far from desirable and
might bring most serious results.
For this reason the official informa¬
tion reaching the authorities today
was a source of most hearty con¬
gratulation. Where the report
came from was not made known,
but the mere fact that Secretary
Long regards the Oregon as safe
makes it evident that she has pass¬
ed well to the northward of the
Windward islands
Aside from this information,
Secretary Long said at the close of
office hours that there was no fur¬
ther news to be given out. During
the day the bureau of navigation
issued a bulletin summarizing Com¬
mander McCalla’s official report on
the recent engagement at Cienfu-
egos, and adding some minor fea¬
tures on the prospective exchange
of prisoners, etc. These bulletins
are not proving of important news
value, although they are practically
all that comes from the navy depar-
ment with its official approval.
Rev. Keese is spending this week
at Ft. Gaines, the home of Mr.
Keese’s father. Miss Gertrude,
the charming young daughter of
Mr. Keese, will return with her
father.- ' — - - - •

SOUTHERN RAIL-
WAY COMPANY.
Office of the Land and Industrial
Agent.
Washington, D. C., May 10,
1898—This company will continue
this year its effective practice of
making exhibits of the products of
the country through which its lines
run, and in order to accomplish the
best results, the co-operation of the
citizens along the Southern Rail¬
way is necessary.
We must depend upon the farmer,
miner, miller, manufacturer and
others, to furnish desirable samples
and specimens, with authentic data
about each, so that when placed in
our exhibits, facts and reliable in¬
formation can be afforded inquir¬
ers.
We can use choice samples of
grasses, cereals, tobacco, fruits,
vegetables, minerals, timber and in
fact anything that will aid in in¬
forming the stranger regarding the
resources and advantages of the
South. Persons contributing such
will be so advertised, and by com¬
municated with the undersigned
proper instructions will be given
how to prepare, pack and ship.
It is hoped that the people along
the Southern Railway understand
that these exhibits are made to help
advance the best interests
of each and every district; they
tend to attract immigration, indus¬
tries and capital; they show to the
homeseeker the results accomplish¬
ed in the South ; they are practical
mediums for educating the people
of the North up to a realization of
what is in, and is produced by, the
South.
1 The territory is too large for the
Company’s agents interested in this
especial work to visit all sections
and personally solicit the desired
co-operation. Therefore this circu¬
lar is sent out with the hope that a
hearty response will come from
every locality.
M. V. Richards,
Land and Industrial Agent.
