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 J. C. Edwards, Geo. P. Erwin Secretary. Char. D. E. C. 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.- ' — - - - • SUBSCRIPTION, $1.00 A YEAR NO. 27. 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.
