Wynton died tonight at seven o’clock of
consumption of the bowels. He had
been sick but eleven day*. Th* news
was received with deep regret through
out this city, and will b* heard with sor
row in Aihena, his eld home.
Since his illness his mother has been
with him here and h* has had close
nursing and skillful medical attention.
His condition became alarming on Thurs
day, but Friday evening he grew better
and although very weak, his friends
hoped for some improvement. It never
came. His constitution was too weak to
rally. His nervous system was exhaust
ed. His vitality was gone, and at noon
today his sister in Athens was tele
graphed that her mother had no hopes of
his recovery. He sank rapidly this af
ternoon and died at seven o’clock this
evening.
At the time of his death he was city
editor of the Evening Chronicle. He
was a tireless worker and s splendid
news gatherer. Where he ever erred
was in his zeal to make his news col

worked harder, and no heart ever beat
DR. LANE ON DR-WOODROW-
The Recent Trial Whisk Hr. Lass
Presided Over In Spar ta-Tke Ques
tion •( Evolution as Discussed In
the Synod-
Dr C. W. Lane, who returned last
week from the Presbyterian Synod, re
cently held in Sparta, was called upon by
the Banner-Watchman and asked about
the session of that body, over which he
was called upon to preside. The Synod
is composed of representatives from ev
ery Presbyterian Church in Georgia, and
is composed of something like seventy-
five members.
“Tell ns about the Woodrow trial, Mr.
Moderator.'
“1 have been been asked about that a
great deal, and there is a wonder ex
pressed by people outside of the Church
that the question has so long continued
unsettled. the Woodrow matter is
simply taking itoway through the series
of appellate courts. The question caine
up ii. the Augusta Presbytery last Au
gust, and the Synod was simply review
ing the the case. This Ion? continued
course is only an evidence of the jealous
care of the church to preserv.- personal
rights.”
‘•The trial of Dr. Woodrow, in Sparta,
_ _ had reference to two matters. First his
Th« course of the committee has won 11 elutions to the Columbia Theological
for it the spproval of the public. They
seem to mean business, and have gone
systematically to work.
Mr. McLendon's statement tfiat the
committee proposed to have a full, fair,
open and unrestricted invest gation, un
hampered by tnchnicalities, and not had-
icapped by the strict rules of evidence,
meets with unqualified commendation,
The public do not wish to havsan in-
I uisitor.al farce enacted in the State
iouse, and the committee seem to be of
the same mind.
The investigation thus far has disclos
ed that Mr. James P. Harrison, who was
an officer and large stockholder in the
Perseverance Marble Company, war very
active in an effort to change the material
for the building of the new capital from
oolitic limestone to Georgia marble. That
he expended a considerable (perhaps
$3,000 or more) in the effort, and that he
ployed Gen. Phillips as attorney to
assist in urging the matter. That Gen.
Phillips said he needed assistance and
would see Judge Fain, and that subse
quently Judge Fain was in Atlanta put
ting up at the same hotel with Gen. Phil
lips; that Col. Rankin, Mr. Harrison and
Mr. Phillips were often together in Judge
Fain’s room, and on one occasion, the
20th of December these gentlemen met
in this room, and Gen. Phillips was hand
ed a roll of money by Mr. Harrison.
Mr. Bisaner, the witness, though pres
ent in the room, did not see the money
divided with Judge Fain and Col. Ran
kin by Gen. Phillips, as he didn’t think
it was any of his business and didn’t care
to see it. He didn’t turn his back, but
just didn’t see it. He supposed it was
paid to them, however, as he had heard
Gen. Phillips say that evening he was
going to make Col. Rankin a present ol
some money, and he afterwards heard
him* say he had paid J udge Fain more
than his services were worth.
Tha drift of the cross examination by
CoL N. J. Hammond, Mr. Garrison’s at
torney, has been to show that Mr. Har
rison, as a marble man, was naturally
interested in the selection of Georgia
marble, and did all in his power to have
it selected; but all that he did was open
and above board and perfectly legs 4and
that no improper means were used to in
fluence snybmly.
The investigation is exciting much in
terest.

BUSINESS IN THE TWl> HOUSES
YESTERDAY.
WILL IT BE ALEXANDER!
Seminary, where he is a teache; and
secondly, whether as a Presbyterian min
ister, be should be allowed to continue
to proclaim his peculiar views upon evo
lution. The Augusta Presbytery had
favored allowing l)r. Woodrow to do as
he pleased, ’ he appeal came up to the
Synod by way of complaint, and the ac
tion of the Presbytery was annulled.
The Synod decided against allowing Dr.
Woodrow to contifiue to proclaim his
views either as a professor or preacher.”
‘Did you make any deliverance about
the doctrine of evolution, Doctor?”
None whatever. Evolution was not
on trial. Our decision was simply that
no accredited minister or representative
of the church had any right to teach
what is not received as true by the Pres
byterian Church. Any private member
f the church, of course, can hold the
belief if be choses to—but no accredit
ed teacher or preacher may proclaim such
doctrine.”
“Did you vote against Dr. Woodrow?”
“Yes; I voted to require him to re
sign his place or to declare his chair va
cant in the Seminary should he refuse.”
“What will he do?”
“If Dr. Woodrow is devoted to his
opinions as to the origin, of man and
wants to press it, he has the right to re
sign his ministry and propagate his theo
ry as a private member of tile church.”
“How was the debate?”
“It consumed a day and night, and was
mainly a restatement of old points. It
was remarkably fur, dispassionate and
able.”
“What is Dr. Woodrow’s status now
as a minister?”
“This must be determined by the ap
peal to to the General Assembly to meet
next May in St Louis.”
“Doctor, how do you answer Dr.
Woodrow’s argument that the Bible and
the church standards do not say that man
was made directly of dust of the ground?”
“We answer that by asking what has
the church believed her standards to have
meant on that subject since the reforma
tion, and what did Dr. Woodrow him.
self believe for twenty years of his min-
istry?”
Dr. Lane went on to say that Dr.
Woodrow was the only scientist he knew
who held to the form of evolution that
applied to Adam, but not to Eve, He
held that Adam may have been evolved
from a lower order of animal; but he ac
cepts the Bible account that Eve was
formed of a rib out of the side of man.
Such a teaching agitated the church and
tended to unsettle belief in the Bible.”
“I am verry sorry,” said Dr. Lane,
“ that Dr. Woodrow did not do as Dr.
Toy did in the Baptist College in Louis
ville. When his own teachings became
a matter of comment, he wrote out his
views in full and then penned his resig-
natior, and asked his brethren to accept
one or the other.”
l)r. Lane went on to say that Dr. ers 0
Woodrow was a man of great abili-
I ly . ad fine character; but he had gotton
, wrui.g this time and had continued to go
> wrong with all the earnestness of his
' Scotch blood.
ThoCaroasaalt of Corruption u*
Its Height—The BaaSal Black
BlMU-Suckcra aa the Rampage.
The Bannes-Watchman urged and
begged that the democrats of Athens and
CtaAe county take politics in their
own hands and settle the question of
candidates by primary election. AU
classes and conditions of our people
agreed to this, and an overwhelming ma
jority were anxious for so great a move
ment toward political reform; but some
how the proposition was strangled so
far as regarded municipal matter*, and
this, of course, also ended* nomination
for county officers.
For awhile all was smooth sailing, and
some whites were so sanguine as to ar
gue that the colored voteT would this
year cast his ballot for the best men,
and without money and without price.
Why, you had just as well expect the
avenge suffrage-slinger to change his
skin or the leopard his spots, as to hold
election in Athens without the al
mighty dollar being the arbiter. Within
the past few dsys the black cesspool of
corruption has been stirred to its very
depths, and the political blood-suckers
are now holding a regular war dance. Of
all the disgraceful contests that our peo
ple have known since the war, the pin
nacle will be reached in the municipal
contest in December and the county
election next January. Money is being
already distributed, and every vagabond
street-loafer has at once become a nun
of importance, and is smoking
cigars sad drinking liquor at
the expense of some poor candidate that
he is bleeding t* the bottom of hid pock
ets. Some of these negroes are boarding
at a colored hotel, are driving fine teams,
and jingling money in their hands. Al
though webave a “dry” county, whisky
flows like water, and every night meet
ings are held, when it is distributed
among the voters. And the candidates!
If a single one of them comes out of the
election not fleeced of has last dollar of
ready-cash, he will accomplish a mira
cle. Not content with being robbed of
their money by these ebony politicians;
the candidates are subjected to the most
degrading and humiliating tortures.
They are called on at all hours of the
day and night—even pulled from their
beds—to hold a conference with some
drunken, ignorant negro, who will retail
to them some of the most ridiculous
slanders that are circulated, and winds
up with demanding more money to
smooth things over. Yonr pocket-book
is the only thing that can close their lips
or satisty their “scruples.” It cost an
aldennanic candidate a round sum to
settle the story that if elected he would
close free schools for eighteen years.
To brand political contests, as conducted
in Athens and Clarke county, as shame
ful and disgraceful, is but to use too
mild a term. While in the majority, the
white voters are completely ignored, and
the negro becomes the principal factor.
Every decent man is sick and disgusted
with such campaigns, and hundreds will
refuse to vote in a contest where such
open-handed corruption and political
degradation is practiced. Cannot the
candidates yet get together and settle
their differences without appealing to
these blood-suckers” There is no honor
in being elected to office by a lot of
bought votes, cast by corrupt and venal
men.

most important adopted were as follows :
1. The home plate will hereafter con

players and decrease the destruction of
base hall bats in the hands of nervous
players who have a habit of rapping the

2. The first rad third base bags will in
future rest entirely on fur ground, in
stead of overlapping the foul lines as here
tofore, thus relieving the umpire of all
doubt in deciding fair or foul balls at
these points.
4. The flat bat may now be used in

[August* Chronicle.]
New Yorx, Nov. 19.—[Special.] Mrs.
Hettie Green’s Central has certainly
been bought by the Alexander party. I
positively atato the price, but I
believe it was sold for par rad thirty. I
know that she offered it at that price
last Saturday. Interest here in the mat
ter is confined to a very narrow circle,
bat the footing is intense among those
concerned. I heard n strong man say
yesterday that the Alexander party had
money enough behind them to pay two
hundred for Central if necessary to win
the fight. Par and eighteen have been
bid here today, but there is no atock of-
ferine.

From news just received from differ

The local management of the Macon

engaged this week in obtaining deeds to

through whose lands the road u expect

ferences with those who object to grant
ing or selling the right of way through
their lots. We are glad to say that with
the exception of only s few property
holders, no difficulty has been experi
enced. Messrs. Lester Markham ud
