REV- W. A. CLEVELAND.
New Pastor of the Presbyterian
Church. Soon to Arrive.
Rev- W. A, Cleveland, of Mt.
Pleasant, Tenn., who has been
called to the pastorate of the First
Presbyterian church of this city,
has accepted the call, and is ex
pected to arrive here in time to
preach his first sermon the first
Sunday in June,
Mr. Cleveland preached several
sermons in the church here and
made a fine impiession on all who
heard him. He is a young divine
of splendid abilities and fine per
sonal bearing.
The Mt. Pleasant Chronicle
makes the following kindly and
oomplimentarymention of him:
“A congregational meeting was
held at the Presbyterian church
last Sunuay morning after the reg
ular service for the purpose of tak
ing action on Rev. W. A. Cleve*
vand’s resignation as pastor of that
church. With great reluctance
and only at the urgent request of
Mr. Cleveland d.d the congrega
tion agreed to accept the resigna
tion. Mr. Cleveland has been
pastor of the Mt. Pleasant church
for the past three yeais, and it is
doubtful if there has been a better
preacher or more popular man in
charge of the church in years. He
has endeared himself in the hearts
of not only the members of his
congregation, but of those of every
denomination and those outside
the church in our town. He is an
active pastor, an enthusiastic Odd
Fellow and Knight of Pythias, and
his place in the church, in the
lodges, and in our town as a citi
zen will be hard to fill. During
his three years’ stay the church
has been materially increased in
membership, the congregation has
been drawn closer together, and
undoubtedly the congregation is
in a much mo'e flourishing condi
tion than it has ever been before.
A called meeting of the Columbia
Presbytery will be held next week
to consider dismissing him to a
Georgia Presbytery, and he will
become pastor of the First Church
of Cartersville on the first of June.
In the meantime, the officers of the
church here are taking steps to
secure a pastor to supply the pul
pit immediately after Mr. Cleve
land leaves.”
The following is from the Lewis
burg Tribune:
‘‘Rev. W. A. Cleveland, of Mt,
Pleasant, a former pastor of the
Bethbirei and Union churches,
has accepted a call to the church
at Cartersville, Ga. He will leave
for his new field of labor about
June i. Mr. Cleveland is ®ne -of
the ablest youug men of his church
and his many friends wish him
abundant success.’

SAYS CLAY BEAT HIM
Newt Morris, of Cobb, Charges
Defeat to Senator
Hon N. A. Morris, who was de
feated for the nomination of judge
ship of the Blue Ridge Circuit by
judge Geo- F. Gober, gave out the
first statement he has made since
the recent action of the executive
committe, which established the
result according to the returns.
Mr. Morris, after thanking his
friends and stating that he will
carry the matter no further, has
this to say:
“I wish you would say to my
iriends over the state that I had
Judge Gober beaten by from 1,500
to 2,000 majority when the deter-1
mination was arrived at in Wash
ington, D. C., by certain leading
politicians and other interests that
figure in politics in this state, that
it was necessary that I should be
defeated. Senator Clay came
down about ten aays before the
election and proceeded to use his
entire influence to compass my
defeat. He remained and actively
canvassed against me until the
election was over.
“In addition to this, during the
last few days of the campaign,
large sums of money were disburs
ed on behalf of Judge Gober’s
election throughout the circuit.
After the primary and pending my
contest before the executive com
mittee, these same influences that
started this movement in Washing
ton continued their fight, and but
for this I am satisfied that the
result would have been different.
DIRT WILL BE BROKEN.

. The great White Fair at Bradley’s
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY I*4, 1901.
MANY Laws PASSED.
Congress Talked Little and Did
More Actual Work.
The amouut of work an 1 talk
done by congress at the session
just ended is set forth in a report
made by Docket Clerk Wakeman
to Speaker Cannon, says a Wash
ington special to the New York
Times. It shows that the session
was the shortest in years; that con
gress talked less than it has done
at any time since the Fifty-nfih
congress adjourned, and that more
bills were introduced and more law 9
passed than in any first session
since the Fifty-first.
This session convened 124 days,
the next shortest session having
been that of the Fifty-sixth con
gress, 139 days. In that time
2,945 reports were made, a larger
number than for any first session
within the period named. The
Fifty-seventh congress comes next
with 2,750 reports.
This session also heads the list
in the matter of bills introduced.
There were 16,170, the next high
est number being 15,960 in the
Fifty-seventh congress. The Fifty
third congress, however, heads the
list of public laws enacted, having
passed 307.
In private laws this session makes
a better showing than in public
laws. It enacted 1,896, which
breaks the record for the period
covered. It is to be observed that
the Fifty-third congress, which
passed more public laws than any
other, passed fewer private laws,
footing the list with 134. This
was the congress which met in the
first part of President Cleveland’s
second term, and its record includes
the extra session.
The disproportion of private to
public laws brings up the grand
total of laws enacted by the Fifty
eighth congress to 2,190, which is
the largest number for the period
covered.
The amount of talk indulged in
is indicated by the number of pages
in the Congressional Record. The
session just ended ranks third.
First comes the Fifty-seventh con
gress, with 8,414 pages; then the
Fifty-sixth, with 7,765, and, third,
the Fifty-eighth, with 6,155. Tne
least amount of talking was done
in President Harrison’s Fifty
second congress, which has a rec
ord of only 5,040 pages.

THEIR FORTS DISMANTLED-
Report That Alexleff Was Wounded
Before Leaving Port Arthur.
Niu-chwaog, May 7. —There is
every indication that the Russians
have decided to evacute Niu*
chwang. Troops have been leav
ing here all day long. Forts have
been dismantled and all artillery
has been placed on board trains.
All the local transportation has
been commandered by the Russian
authorities. There is current here
a native rumor that Japanese
troops are in Foocbau bay (on the
west side of the Liaotung peninsu
la, and about sixty miles north of
Port Arthur,) but this report lacks
confirmation.
The fear is held here that it the
Russians leave and the Japanese
do not at once take possession of
Niu-chwang, the brigands who are
now across the river near Ying
kow, will pillage the place. The
foreign residents are prepared to
resist the brigands should they
come over. The British consul has
requested that a gunboat be sent
to The Russians
probably will destroy the gunboat
Sivoutch before ieaving. The
vessel is at Niu-chwang.
Japanese troops fired on what
probably was the last train out of
Port Arthur as it passed near Port
Adams. They used artillery and
small arms and killed or wounded
several Chinese.
It is reported here that Viceroy
Alexieff was slightly wounded
prior to his departure from Port
Arthur. He barely escaped from
there before the Japanese closed
the lines of communication. The
Russian general staff have moved
from Ciao-yang to Mukden.
Russians here will not talk of
the situation for fear that they may
impart some information. They
do not consider that their forces
here are not sufficient to hold this
section of the country. It is proba
ble that the Russian civilians at
Niu-chwang are leaving hurriedly
and many natives are fleeing the
city in fear that they will be sub
jected to maltreatment at the hands
of the brigands.

Electric Bitters excellent for acute
