Tuesday’s session.
The convention met at 9 a. m. Tues
day and opened with the usual devo
tional services. The report of the
committee on the resignation of the
assistant secretary of the foreign mis
sion board and retired missionaries was
read by the secretary of the conven
tion. The report was discussed by
Dr. Burroughs, of Georgia; Dr. Pick
ard, of Kentucky; Dr. Ford, of Mis
souri ; Dr. Hawthorne, of Georgia;
Dr. Pritchard, of North Carolina; Dr.
Harris, of Virginia; Dr. Owens, of
Virginia; Dr. Cranfield, of Texas, and
others. This was the most spirited
discussion of the convention. The
board was attacked by Dr. Ford for
its methods in dealing with its mis
sionaries. He was immediately re
sponded to by Dr. Hawthorne, of
Atlanta, who sustained the board in
an able speech. This report was
still pending at 10:30 a.‘ m.,
at which hour the special order was
the report of the committee on the re
port of the Sunday school board. The
report commends the literature of the
board, and recommends that the board
be directed to foster and encourage
Sunday school work in the destitute
fields; also a special children’s day is
favorably mentioned. Dr. Kerfoot
spoke in support of the report. His
address was one of the most eloquent
and forceful of the convention. It wag
also discussed by Dr. F. M. Ellis, of
Baltimore, in a speech of magnificent
eloquence and power. The report of
the committee was adopted. A resolu
tion offered by Dr. McDonald, of At
lanta, expressing the thanks of the
convention to Dr. Frost, tho retiring
secretary of the Sunday school board,
for the efficiency with which his duties
have been performed, was adopted.
At the alternoon session Dr. Cranfil
read the report on development of our
young people, which recommended di
recting this development along Baptist
lines. After considerable discussion
the report was adopted. The report
of the vice president of the board was
ordered printed without being read.
After passing resolutions of thanks
the convention adjourned nt 5 o’clock
p. m., to meet next year at Dallas,
Texas.
The grent tabernacle in Nashville
where the convention met was the gift
mainly, of one man, who became a
convert to the Christian religion dur
ing one of Sam Jones’ meetings. It is
a huge brick structure with sufficient
architectural variety and finish to re
lieve it from being considered too
plain. It will seat 5,000 people. The
platform will accommodate 250 sing
ers, besides having ample room for
others desiring to occupy it. The seats
in the auditorium are arranged after
the manner of a great amphitheater.
THE WORLD’S FAIR.
Georgia Makes a Slight Addition toHrt
Display—Visi ors Going Early.
Chicago, May 16, 1893.—The more
one sees of the World’s fair the proudei
he feels that he is an American. No
other people could have built such a
city of paluces aud made such a won
derful exhibit of all that goes to make
up modern civilization. While all lands
are represented here the states surpass
in almost everything. The exposition
is truly a wonder land.
The visitor can trace the history of
the world in going from building to
building. In many respects the build
ing in which electrical devices are ex
hibited, is the most interesting. After
looking carefully through it one can
readily believe that in the course of a
few years we will be doing everything
by electricity.
City folks who know little about the
country, take a deep interest in the
Agricultural building. The displays
of farm products are calculated to in-
duco all visitors who are not farming
to buy one aud try it. People who are
interested in county fairs ought to
spend all the time they can spare here
and study the way exhibits are display
ed. Some of the Western states have
obtained unique effects in decorating
their buildings and exhibit space with
grain, and especially with corn on the
cob. Ohio has a railing around her
space in Agricultural building suppor
ted by large and thick glass tubes fil
led with various grains and seeds.
These tubes resemble solid columns of
grain and are very odd and attractive.
Georgia’s next state fair can be made
much more interesting than it ever
has been by borrowing ideas from the
Exposition.
The only addition which Georgia
made to her exhibit here last week was
the presence of the bicycle riders from
Atlanta. They were objects of inter
est, being the first riders to reach here
from a long distance on their wheels.
Plenty more are on their way, hut
Durant and Howard got here first, as
Atlantians boast that they always do.
These young men came a round-about
way. They could have saved a full
hundred miles if they had come up
from Chattanooga and Nashville by
Evansville and Terre Haute. They
followed the Western and Atlantic, or
old state road, from Atlanta to Chatta
nooga, and then the Nashville, Chatta
nooga and St. Louis to Nashville, but
instead of continuing along that line,
for some reason they struck off in an
other direction. The rock ballast
which makes riding in the ears so
easy and smooth is not so comfortable
for bicycle riders to travel over. By
the way, The General, the State road’s
historic engine, has been moved into
the transportation building. The dis
play of old engines there tells the his
tory of railroad development in graph
ic language.
Now that the weather has become
pleasant and the fair has got in full
blast, the number of visitors is grow
ing every day. Hotels and boarding
houses found that they could not get
high prices and are very reasonable
in charges. Many people from a dis
tance are coming early so as to be sure
that they see the fair. If cholera
comes this summer the fair will proba
bly elose, and it is well to go as soon
as possible and not run the risk o!
missing it. Never again in the lifetime
of this generation can we expect to see
Bueh a magnificent exposition.
WILL OPEN SUNDAYS.
The Fair Directory Decide Not to Close
the Gates.
Monday afternoon there was an in
formal meeting of members of the
World’s Fair local directory and com
missioners, at which the Sunday ques
tion was thoroughly discussed. It was
announced at the conclusion of the
meeting that a resolution revoking the
Sunday opening rule recently adopted
by the local directory will be submit
ted for the concurrence of the commis
sioners. First Vice President Peck,of
the local directory, stated that the
management of the fair was deter
mined to open the gates on Sundays.
The people demanded it and the peo
ple were all powerful.
Everybody should read the paper and
keep up with the times.

Advices from London are to the ef
fect that the second clause of the
home rule bill, conferring authority
on the Irish legislature to enact laws,
was passed Wednesday in committee
in the house of commons, as amended
by the adoption of Sir Henry James’s
amendment to the fact that the su
preme power of the imperial parlia
ment should remain undiminished by
any proviso of the home rule bill.
The clause as amended was adopted by
a vote of 287 to 255. The debate pre
ceding the division was both testy
and bitter.
The firm of N. H. Warren & Co., at
Chicago, closed all ■ its deals on the
board of trade Thursday. It is esti
mated that 600,000 bushels of corn
were sold on the firm’s account. Nath
an Warren attributes the suspension
to the tying up of his money in the de
funct Columbia bank. The suspension
was precipitated by a bondsman for
Warren & Co., with the Columbia Na
tional, notifying the hoard of trade
that he would no longer agree to
ideminify traders against losses on
margins occassions by the fluctuations
in the market.
Over 400 employe of the Overland
Cotton mill at Denver, Col., went out
on a strike Monday morning owing to
the new rules requiring sixty-six hours
work each week, instead of sixty, as
heretofore. Ninety per cent of the
workers were brought from the north
by the company. The company pays
twice the wages paid iu the Clifton
mills, in South Carolina, but owing to
sharp competition is compelled to ex
act more labor from its employes,
tion. The bill provides that the gov
ernor shall appoint a commission to
expend this money, provided the rail
roads and other corporations contri
bute another $55,000 in cash. The
bill will probably pass the house in a
few days, and there is no doubt that
the railroad companies will raise the
.requisite amount to make the appro
priation available.
A Charleston dispatch says: The
doors of the Bank of the.Carolinas,
with home office at Florence, closed
Tuesday, with a notice of temporary
suspension until a meeting of the di
rectors. The capital stock of the bank
is nearly $60,000. It has branches at
Kingston, Conway, Williston and Yarn-
ville, in South Carolina, and several
towns in North Carolina. It is be
lieved that the bank has assets to cover
all indebtedness. Stringency of the
money market and consequent inability
to realize on securities held by the
bank is the cause of the failure.
Bids for the construction of the

THE CHINESE MUST GO.
The Geary Exclusion Act Snstained by
the Supreme Court.
The United States supreme court,
Monday, through Justice Gray, sus
tained the decision of the New York
courts in favor of the constitutionality
of the Geary exclusion act.
The announcement that a decision
in the ease was expected attracted a
large attendance and the fact that it
was the last day of the term accounted
for the presence of an unusually large
array of attorneys within the bar, in
cluding Attorney General Olney, So
licitor General Aldrich, Sena tors Pugh,
Dolph and Cockrell. Ex-Justice Strong
and several members of the diplomatic
corpse were interested spectators.
Justice Gray said that the question
involved was the constitutional effect
of the sixth section of the act entitled
“An act to prohibit the coming of Chi
nese persons into the United States.”
The justice sketched the provisions of
tee law rapidly and proceeded to say
that it was perfectly well settled, it
was one of the fundamental principles
of the law of nations that every inde
pendent nation had the inherent right
to keep aliens out of its territory and
order them to get out of its territory.
That right public welfare demanded.
A REHEARIXG ASKED.
After the court had concluded an
nouncement of opinions, Mr. Hulsey
Ashton, of counsel for the Chinese,
moved a rehearing of the case and an
argument before a full bench at the
next term. At present the court
stands five to three in support of the
law, Justice Harlan being absent. The
court took the motion under advise
ment, the effect of which is to post
pone, until the motion is acted upon,
anyjiroceding under the judgment of
the court thus announced.
No orders had been issued at the
treasury department at the close of
business Monday as to the deporting
of Chinese under the Geary act. The
instructions under which collectors of
internal revenue and United States
marshals are now operating direct
them to make no arrests of unregis
tered Chinamen until further orders.
These orders may be given them after
the cabinet meeting or deferred for a
longer period.
Secretary Carlisle, soon after be
heard of the decision of the supreme
court, went to the executive mansion
and had a conference with the presi
dent on the subject. He remained for
an hour or more. Attorney General
Olney said until the line of action to
be pursued by our government was
mapped out he could say nothing on
the subject except that the depart
ment of justice had no money available
for deporting Chinese.
At the Chinese legation the Chinese
minister courteously declined to ex
press any opinion upon the decision of
the court or to giv:, any intimation as
to the course his government might
deem proper to adopt under the cir
cumstances.
Conservative estimates place the
amount necessary to deport the unreg
istered Chinese at $6,000,000, with
only $16,806 available for the purpose.
Intimations are heard that congress
may he convened to consider the mat
ter. The suggestion is made in offi
cial circles at Washington that Chinese
unregistered may now go to the courts
aud be allowed to register and remain
iu this country. In any view of the
case treasury officers expect to expe
rience great difficulty in carrying out
the mandate of the law that the Chi
nese must go. They look to the cabi
net to solve the problem at its next
meeting.

Smallpox in Yirginia.
A Petersburg, Ya., dispatch of Sun

there have been several deaths. Owing
to the presence of the diaease, there
have been no sessions of the court.
Lunenburg courthouse is about sixty
miles from Petersburg.
Startling Figures About Tobacco.
Some time since, a clergyman of
Montpelier, Yt., in gathering statistics
for a lecture on tobacco, brought to
light the fact that in the last ten years
more than double the mousy had been
expended for tobacco in Montpelier
than the cost of maintaining the six
Christian churches in that place during
the same number of years; and that
for the year 1876 the retail sales in the
village proper and the smaller one of
Wrightsville were found to exceed
$27,000; and that this was in no
way an exceptional year, further
than the biennial session of
the legislature made it so.
The gentleman who gathered these
statistics stated that if he eould have
at his disposal the amount paid for
this weed he would pledge himself to
pay the expenses of all the churches
in the village, wholly support both
union school and seminary, foot all the
bills for the poor farm, and have left
for himself a fair salary. He further
states that the cost of supporting the
six Christian churches iu Montpelier
for the last decade was $100,000, while
the amount expended for tobacco in
the same time was more than $200,000.
In 1890 the population of the entire
town of Montpelier was 3,220. And
who dare affirm that the capital of
the Green Mountain state is an ex
ception to all other locations in tobac
co using.
Bright Prospects.
Old Gentleman—“Little boy, why
are you idling around the street dur
ing school hours, and, still worse,
smoking and chewing tobacco, and
acting like a young tough generally,
instead of studying your lessons and
trying to be a little gentleman?”
Boy—“Wot yer givin’ us?”
Old Gentleman—“Remember, the
time is not far distant when you will
have to earn your own living. ”
Boy—“Thas all right. I’ll live in
a Fif avernoo house au’ have a steam
yacht. I’m goin’ inter poly ties.”—

Notes ot Her Progress and Prosperity
Briefly Epitomized
And Important Happenings from Day
to Day Tersely Told.
The general assembly of the South
ern Presbyterian church convened in
Macon, Ga., Thursday at the First
Presbyterian church. This is the first
time it has met iu Macon since 1866.
The Florida senate on Wednesday
passed a bill forbidding railroad com
panies to make runs of trainmen longer
than thirteen hours each and compell
ing at least eight hours to elapse be
tween runs.
The annual contest of the Southern
Oratorical Association was held at
Columbia, S. C., in the presence of an
immense audience. The committee
awarded the medal to Martin D. Har
din, of Kentucky.
The supreme court of South Caro
lina rendered a decision, Monday, sus
taining the validity of the state bonds
recently issued. The question raised
was, that the new bonds had not been
voted upon by the people.
The establishment of the Yonkers,
N. Y., Hat Manufacturing company
was almost totally destroyed by fire
Thursday morning. The loss is esti
mated at $100,000. About six hun
dred hands are thrown out of employ
ment.
News was received at New Orleans
that the Grand Lake levee in Arkansas
broke'at 9 o’clock Monday night. This
is two miles above Carriola, Ark., and
about ten mile6 from Lakeport. The
break is widening rapidly and will
prove serious.
Messrs. Robert J. Lowry and H. M.
Comer were, on Monday, appointed
receivers of the Savannah and West
ern railroad by Judge John A. Pardee
at New Orleans. It is thought Judge
Pardee’s decision is favorable to the
Richmond aud West Point Terminal
company.
A Raleigh, N. C., special of Sunday
says: The railway commission has
notified the telephone companies that
on and after June 1st, it would have
supervisions of them as of railways,
with power to revise rates. The com
panies are informed that they will be
given a hearing that day. They strong
ly object to the new law.
At Savannah, Ga., Tuesday morning,
Judge McDonald rendered a decision
in the demurrer to the three million
dollar debenture suit of the Mercantile
Trust company. He overruled the
demurrer on every point except as to
the interest, which he held was not
collectable except by the party hold
ing at time interest falls due according
to the contract.
The sixty-second annual session of
the diocesan council, Episcopal, of
Alabama, convened at Montgomery
Tuesday. The venerable and beloved
Bishop B. H. Wilmer presided with
dignity, and his able coadjutor, Bish
op H. M. Jackson, sat upon his right.
Twenty-nine clergymen and lay dele
gates, representing nineteen parishes,
were present.
At Charleston, Thursday, Clerk
Haygood, of the United States circuit
court, commenced taking testimony in
the famous railroad tax cases in which
the South Carolina and the Richmond
and Danville roads are involved.
These issues arose in May, 1892, when
the state board of equalizers assessed
the properities of these roads for tax
aud the roads refused to pay the as
sessment.
A decision in the South Carolina dis
pensary law case was filed in the
supreme court at Columbia Tuesday
adverse to the liquor men. It is sign
ed by Justice Pope, and other justices
concurring. The case came up on the
petition of Charleston barkeepers for
a mandamus requiring the city council
to grant them license for the full year,
the grant huving been made only until
July, the time of the inauguration of
the dispensary system.
A Raleigh, N. C., special says: The
agricultural department is advised
that there were frosts Wednesday
morning and again Thursday morn-,
these being the latest on record in
this section, cotton being very serious
ly hurt by the prolonged cold and is
dying on sandy lands, particularly
where brought to a stand. Tobacco
is also seriously injured by cutworms.
The outlook for crops is for the first
time unfavorable and farmers are de
pressed.
A special from Greenville, Miss.,
says: The fourth crevasse in the le
vees in the Arkansas side of the river
occurred Wednesday, one and one-half
miles below the Grand Lake break.
The last crevasse will not do much
damage except add to the volume of
water already overflowing the territory.
The plantations near Gaines’s Landing,
Ark., between Greenville and Askansas
City are overflowed with back water,
except in very high places, and the
damage to planters is terrible.
Attorney General Martin has insti
tuted a suit in the city court of Mont
gomery, Ala., in the name of the state
of Alabama vs. the Hartford Fire In
surance Company. The suit is for the
collection of the sum of $250 as fee or
license under a law of the last legisla
ture. The complaint sets out that the
defendant is a foreign company doing
business in that state without having
paid the fees or license fixed by law.
The suit, it is thought, is a test case to
determine the constitutionality of the
law fixing the license tax.
A special of Tuesday from Tallahas
see Fla., says that the senate has
just passed the Marks bill, appropriat
ing $25,090 for maintaining exhibits
in the Florida building at the exposi-
Xhe manager is determined to stand
by its ruling or shut down the mill.
The annual address of Grand Chief
Ramsey, presented to the convention
of railway telegraphers in session at
Toronto, Ont., Wednesday, reviews
the work of the order during the year
just closed, refers with pleasure to the
increased membership and expressed
confidence in the future prosperity
and success of the organization. The
finances of the order are in good con
dition. A federation had been formed
with different railway organizations,
which is proving satisfactory, The re
port of the grand secretary showed
the membership to he 26,000 and that
there was a substantial sum in the
treasury, with a protective fund of
$50,000.
An Enormous Air Ship.
Hon lo Save Doctor’s Bills.
A large dirigible baloon, intended to
make headway against air currents of
tweDty-eight miles an hour, is being
made in France. It will be similar in
form to the La France of 1881-85, but
larger—230 feet in length and forty-three
feet in its greatest diameter. It will
weigh sixty-six pounds per horse power,
and will be propelled by a screw in
front, with arudder behind.—[New York
Press. /
Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never lean with the hack upon any
thing that is cold.
Never begin a journey until the
breakfast lias been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then
immediately go out in the cold.
After exercise of any kind never ride
in an open carriage or near the window
of a car for a moment; it is dangerous
to health and even life.
Never omit regular bathing, for un
less the skin is in good condition the
cold will close the pores and favor con
gestion or other diseases.
Never stand still in cold weather, es
pecially after having taken a slight de
gree of exercise, and always avoid
standing on ice or snow where the per
son is exposed to the wind.
When going from a warm atmos
phere into a colder one, always keep
the mouth closed, so that the air may
be warmed by its passage through the
nose ere it reaches the lungs.
Keep the back, especially between
the shoulders, well covered; also the
chest well protected. In sleeping in a
cold room, establish the habit of
breathing through the nose, and never
with the mouth open.

“German
Syrup
I am a farmer at Edom, Texas. I
have used German Syrup for six
years successfully for Sore Throat,
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Pains iu
Chest and Lungs and Spittiug-up cf
Blood. I have tried many kinds of
Cough Syrups in my time, but let
me say to anyone wanting such a
medicine—German Syrup is the best.
We are subject to so many sudden

German Syrup is used there is little

THE BEST
Is the best Blood Medicine, because
it assists nature to throw ofT the im
parities of the blood, and at the same
time tones up the entire organism. This is just
contrary to the effect of the various potash, mer
cury, sarsaparilla mixtures, which bottle up the
impurities in the system, thu3 producing much
sickness and suffering. Therefore, for a
BLOOD MEDICINE
you cannot do better than take S. S. S.
“As a physician, I have prescribed and used
S. S. S. in niv practice as a tonic, and for blood
troubles, and have been very successful. I never
used a remedy which gave such general satisfac
tion to myself and patients.

BLOOD
WILL TELL, but to tell favorably on the sys
tem it should be pure. Now is the time to purify the
blood aud thus guard against diseases incident to
the Spring and Summer season. For this purpose no
medicine answers so well as

Other pills have attained a transient popularity, but
after a few years have passed out of mind. Imita
tions and counterfeits without number have been
put on the market from time to time, but fail to give
satisfaction. The genuine Dr. C. 3IcLane\s Liver Pills
have stood the test of more than GO years,and sell to
