Craig, pastor of the Presbyterian church in this city, was considering a call to Bessemer, Ala. Mr. Craig had been asked sever al weeks ago if he would consider a call to that city, to which he res ponded that he would like to know conditions, and, if called, would only think of it unless unanimous. He was invited to visit the church and preach. The church and con gregation were highly delighted with him and the following from the Bessemer items in the Birming ham News of the 22nd of July tells the story of his selection by the church: ‘‘Yesterday morning there was a meeting of the members of the con gregation of the Presbyterian church for the purpose of calling a new pastor. The church has been without a pastor since the resigna tion of the Rev. Mr. Flinn some weeks ago, and since that time a number of candidates for the place have filled the pulpit. The result ©f the meeting yesterday was the unanimous choice of the Rev. E. M Craig, of Cartersville, Ga. Mr. Craig is a young man in nis early thirties. He is a preacher of abili ty and possesses all of the charac teristics necessary for the ideal pastor. He was chosen as the one above all others best qualified for the building up or the church. Messrs. W. S. Winters and M. T. Kennedy were appointed a com mittee to notify Mr. Craig of his election. The latter is married and has three sous.” Mr Craig had a conference by long distance telephone Tuesday evening with the committee of the church at Bessemer and notified them that he would accept the call. His resignation will be tendered to I.is church heie next Sunday, The church rules require a ten days no tice of a resignation, and then it has to go before the Presbytery for final action. Mr. Craig has served the chuich in Cartersville the past three years, and has greatly endeared himself to the church and congregation and the people. He is an earnest, zealous young divine, with fine judgment, a genial disposition and well fitted for unifying a church. His resignation and departure from the city will be a source of general regret and the best wishes of a host of friends will follow him to his new field.

F'ite, of Carters, ville, came to Atlanta yesterday - He called at the capitol, and as soon as his presence became known, there were statements to the effect that he came down for a confer ence —a political conference. But Judge Fite says he didn’t, and whatever the judge says goes, as it always does. “I come on personal business,” he said. “There is absolutely nothing political in my mission. The people up my way are not talking politics, as they consider it entirely too early to go into any discussion. I was for Mr. dußig non for governor, but since his an nouncement that he would not be a candidate, I have no favorite. I know, however, that the people in my section are about equally di vided between Guerry, Brown, Terrell and Brantley, should the latter enter the race. * “I am sorry to see in certain pa pers that there are four men in North Georgia, known as the big four, who are trying to control the politics of that section. I was mentioned as one of the big four. So far as I know there is no such combination, and I think the men tion of Senator Clay’s name in that connection is unfair to him. lam not a candidate, so it makes no difference,” Judge Fite returned yesterday afternoon to his home.

NEW PERIL FOR ENGLAND- Must Send Kitchener and His army to Afhan Frontier. Loudon, July 28. —When the Government admitted, about a month ago, that it was preparing to withdraw 70,000 troops from South Africa the news was hailed with joy, and the public wondered why the Government, instead of merely letting the fact leak out, did not announce with a flourish of trumpets as an omen of peace. The leason is now apparent, for the troops are to be withdrawn from South Africa not because they are no longer needed there, but because the attitude of the Am eer of Afghanistan has grown very threatening, and the 70,000 troops and General Kitchener, too, are to go to India to quell the new peril. Instead of the news of the with drawal of the troops from South Africa being an evidence of Brit ish triumph it is the very best of news for the Boers. This movement is not yet fully decided upon. Should it be found unnecessary the troops will stay in South Africa. In any event, how ever, Lord Kitchener will take up the duties of commander-in-chief in India before the close of the year. Sir Bindon Blood is sug gested as his successor in South Africa. The Ameer’s attitude was most threatening when consuls,for some cause unknown to the public, drop ped to 91 a fortnight ago.
