Remarkable Scenes Occur at the
Griffin Convention-
MONEY FOR THE ORPHANS-
Those Who Had no Money Gave
Their Jewelry—Temperance
Question Taken Up,
Griffin, Ga., March 30. —One of
the most remarkable scenes ever
witnessed in a Georgia Baptist
convention took place during the
morning session today; $7,500 was
raised for the Baptist Orphan
Home at Hapeville, although only
$5, oop was asked for.
The special work for the morn
ing was the consideration tu the
needs ol the orphans’ home. Sixty
orphans came down this morning,
arriving shortly after the conven
tion had assembled, having been
given free transportation >by the
Central of Georgia. As they en
tered the church President Nor
then's gavel fell and he said:
“The children of the Baptists,
the children of the convention, are
coming in; let the convention rise.”
Every delegate stood up and si
lence fell on the great congrega
tion broken by the sound of cltil
dren's feet as the little ones, some
barely able to walk, came up and
stood on the platform.
Dr. J. B. Taylor, superintendent
o”f the home, presented them as the
children of the convention.
President Northern made a touch
ing speech in receiving them.
A little boy, Carlisle Hall, was
brought forward to present the
claims of the home. He was per
fectly at ease and made a regular
address. His gestuies and his fa
cial expression were fine. He was
about 8 years old and after telling
something of the happy home pro
vided for them he said:
‘‘The memory of a mother’s love
that had once been theirs could
never be blotted from their hearts.”
He recited a beautiful poem in
conclusion—-one that swept the
great congregation like a mighty
wind of emotion.
STRONG MEN WEEP.
The president was in tears.
Judge A. D. Freeman,.of Newnan,
had his face bowed in his hand to
hide his emotion and streaming
eyes were seen on every side and
some of the older brethren sobbed
aloud.
When the speech was concluded
the children recited the 27th
Psalm in concert, gave several
songs and closing by reciting, with
bowed heads and closed eyes, the
Lord’s prayer.
I)r. Taylor made a brief speech
setting forth the needs of the home,
chief among which was a large
building for the accommodation of
the children who were knocking
for entrance. Only last week the
matron was forced to give up her
room and go to sleeping in a closet
in order to accommodate some new
arrivals.
Dr. White, of Macon, said:
‘.That money ought to be raised
right now.”
SUBSCRIPTIONS I'OI’R IN.
Rev. Joe Gross, of Griffin, star
ted the ball to rolling by subscrib
ing $250 for his church. The First
and Second churches of Atlanta
each subscribed SSOO. The Taber
nacle church gave SIOO. The
Jackson Hill Sunday school gave
SIOO. The West End church gave
the same.
The subscriptions began coming
in so rapidly that two men could
hardly keep up with them. For a
solid hour they kept coming in,
aud then delegates began passing
up cash. Silver coin was pitched
up until President Northen said
this must be stopped, as some of
the children might get hurt. One
brother said he found a quarter on
the streets and he wanted to give
it to the orphans.
“Praise the Lord,” said Mr.
Gross. “He’s just raining money
down for the orphans.”
A brother arose and said he
buried his boy last week, but he
wanted to give $5 in his name.

to'ok*from it a gold ring, worn thin
with long use. The note read: ‘‘A
widow gives her only ring in the
name of J. G. Gibson.” Judge!
llillyer arose, looked at the ring, !
recognized it as belonging to Mrs.!
J. G. Gibson, and said: “Brother!
President, this is Mrs. Gibson’s j
ring, and I want to buy it for five!
dollars and give it back to her.”
A little later another note came !
up saying, “A wfftow gives the
gold eye-glasses that belonged to
her husband, now in heaven.”
Rev. J. L. Williams, of Locust
Grove, stood up in the back of the
house, and, between sobs, said: j
“Brother president, I can’t stand !
it'anv longer. Those glasses were j
Dr. Gibson’s. I have a wife in
heaven; she left me a ring that has
been my chief treasure. I now
give it to the orphans,” and sink
ing to his seat, he buried his face
in his h: nds and sobbed aloud.
Rev. Mr. Smith said his little
girl had been taken away last
month by the angels. She had
just a dollar in money when she
died. He and his wife had been
trying to decide what to do with
that money. The decision was |
made—he would give it to the or
phans.
* Rev. W. J. Hyde, of Cunrning,
said he had two silver half dollars,
the first money paid him as a
preacher. It had been a keepsake,
but lie wanted to give it to the or
phans.
Rev. I’. A. Jesup, of south Geor
gia. subscribed SSO to be paid by
the friends of J. T. Stanley. It
developed that Mr. Stanley is a be
loved preacher of south Georgia.
His wife has just died of consump
tion and had one child. Pie has
the same disease, and can live but
a short time. He cannot speak
above a whisper. He has left all
his property, a little household
furniture, to the orphans’ home.
Yesterday he started with four
remaining children to his mother’s
home to die. As soon as this death
takes place the children will go to
th 6 home.
The convention instructed Mr.
Jesup to telegraph the good wishes
of jthe convention to the dying
man.
When men had given for them
selves, women for the memory of
their dead and men had made a
thank offering for living children,
the hat was passed and cash
amounting to one hundred dollars
was taken in.
The total subscriptions will run
up to a little more than $7,500.
As soon as the result was an
nounced, as by common consent
the convention arose and sung,
“Praise God from whom all bless
ings flow.” And then a prayer o
thanks to God was offered by Rev.
Joe Gross.

Reflections of a Bachelor.
New York Pr- ss.
Genius is common sense with a
silk hat on.
A woman is a lot sweeter when
she doesn’t try to be reasonable.
Every man believes in his heart
that any woman is more frank
with him than she is with other
men.
The man who succeeds in put
ting his heart in his work is the
one who has already put his work
in his heart.
A woman’s idea of pleasure is to
sit with a lot of other women, with
anew dress on, and drink weak
tea off a crazy little table with
three legs.
DEWEY IS A DEMOCRAT.
Although he Has Never Voted in
His Life.
Washington, April 6.—Admiral
and Mrs. Dewey returne 1 to Wash
ington tonight from their brief vis
it to Philadelphia. In response to
a question the admiral said he ex
pected in a few days to have ready
for the press a statement of his
plans for the future.
“Can you confirm the statement
you are credited with making that
you are a democrat ?” asked a re
porter.
“Certajnly, 1 am a democrat,” he
replied. I have always been a
democrat.”
“Have you ever voted the demo
cratic ticket ?”
“No, 1 never voted in my life,
The only man I ever wanted to
vote for was Mr. Cleveland.
“It is said that Mr. Cleveland
wants you to run on a straight gold
democratic platform.”
“Good night,” answered the ad
miral without answering the ques
tion and retiring.
Admiral Dewey denied himself
to friends, acquaintances and news
paper men this morning and re
mained in seclusion in his apart
ments. No definite plans were ar
ranged for the day by the admiral
except for luncheon with one or
two intimate friends. It is rumor
ed that he discussed the presiden
tial possibilities with these gentle
men.
Secretary of war and Mrs.
Root, who with the adn i al and his
wife, were the guests of Mr. and
Mrs. A. J. Cassatt at dinner last
night, returned to Washington on
the 7:20 train this morning.

Cotton Mills as City Builders-
A recent issue of the Manufac
turers’ Record contains an article
showing how cotton mills help *o
build up a *town. The Record,
among pther things, says:
“Not only do cotton mills bring
profits to stockholders, they bring
profits to all in a community by
building up the towns in which
they are located. They are em
phatically ;lie town builders of this
section. They are filling the Car
olinas and Georgia with prosperous
towns. Columbia, which was
sleepy and unpromising, has
sprung from a population of 10,03 k
in 1890 to 30,000. It is now wide
awake mid full of promise. Griffin,
in Georgia, a town midway of At
lanta and Macon, sapped by both,
was in a state of decay, but cotton
mills have placed it in a prosperous
and substantial condition. Green
ville, in South Carolina, had 8,607
people in 1890; it will show in the
new census over 15,000. Spartan
burg, which had 5,500 people in
1890, will show 12,000 this year.
Gaffney, which consisted, a few
years ago, of a railroad station and
i lime kiln, has been turned by
mills into a prosperous little city of
3,©00 people. Pelzer, which was a
spot ou the map, now containes 8,-
000 people. North Carolina is full
of similar examples of giowth from
and through cotton mills.
“When one investment brings in
dividends and general prosperity.it
is no wonder that towns from the
Rio Grande all the way to the Poto
mac are gathering capital and build
ing many mills, and large mills,
too, in some eases. The cotton
mill movement in the south is the
wonder and glory of these times in
the cotton states. It cannot be
carried to far. Build mills in big
towns, and even at road crossings,
for every well managed mill is a
gold mine alike to stockholders and
to the public.”

HEALTH and beauty are the glories of perfect woman

Women who suffer constantly with weakness peculiar
to their sex cannot retain their beauty. Preservation of
pretty features and rounded form is
a duty women owe to themselves.

young American women.

OLD FACTIONAL TROUBLE.
Evans and Brownjow Struggle for
the Mastery
Nashville, Teim., April 2. —Re-
publicans of Davidson county held
two conventions today. They met
simultaneously in the same hall,
the result being the warmest polit
ical meeting Nashville" probably
ever saw. The tumult at one time
grew to such proportions that a
lieutenant in command of a de
tachment of police entered to de
mand order. It was the same old
factional trouble between the forces
of National Committeeman Brown
low and Pension Commissioner
Evans. The bone of contention is
control of the state convention and
the delegation to the national body.
Finally, after the war of words
had waged for several hours, two
sets of resolutions were introduced.
One follows the Brownlow creed,
selecting delegations approved by
hint to state and county convention.
The Evans convention,is of course,
in line with that leader. Both ex
pressions endorse the admin
istration of President McKinley.
The opposing delegations will fight
it out befote the higher conven
tions.
Many counties in middle and
west Tennessee held conventions
today, each side selecting delegates
to the state convention. In some
conventions where harmony pre
vailed; Evans and Brownlow men
divided honors, and in one or two
instances, all the Brownlow dele
gates were declared for, with one
exception, and this exception was
made for Evans.
The split delegations named in
many counties today insures two
conventions, in the opinion of con
servative republicans. The trouble
will, therefore, go to Philadelphia
for settlement.
Discovered by a, Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened iu
clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severest
tests, hut her vital organs were un

nent, For three months she cough
ed incessantly, and could not sleep.
She finally discovered a way to re
covery, by purchasing of us a a bot

THE
MARKS OF
SUFFERING
TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF.
Desperate Tennessean Who Was
Crossed in Love.
Chattanooga, Term., April 4. —
John Burford, formerly an employe
of the Southern Express Company
and who not long since at
tempted the life of Miss Melton, a
young lady with whom he was in
love and who had rejected him on
account of his habits, attempted
suicide tonight on the public street.
He has recently been rather relig
ious and tonight, after returning
from prayer meeting, he saw Miss
Melton and one or two other ladies
and gentlemen t merge from a dr
goods store. Rushing up to where
they stood, he exclaimed to Miss
Melton, “I don’t intend to hurt
you, but I want you to see this.’
With that he drew a razor from
his pocket and made a swipe at his
throat, cutting an ugly gash, but
before he could accomplish his
purpose one of the’ gentlemen
knocked the razor from his hand
and grappled nint. He fought
with the frenzy of insanity. He
was finally overpowered, but says
lie will kill himself before morning.
Burford came to this city from
Shelby county, Tenn., and is a fine
family. The young lady isof among
the best people in this city.

He Paid for Them,
Three friends who had been
spending the evening at the club
agreed that the one who did not do
as his wife told him when he got
home should pay for an oyster sup
per.
Smith, in trying to find the
matches, trod on the cat.
“That’s right said his wife,
waking up, “kill the poor eat and
have done with it!”
“Well,” thought Smith, “I’ll
have to kill the cat or pay for the
supper.” So he killed the cat.
Brown was no less fortunate
when he arrived home. In the
dark he stumbled against the piano.
‘‘Why don’t you break the
piano?” demanded his wife.
Brown at once broke the piano.
When Jones got home he stum
bled on the top step of the stair
case.
“Go on!” said his wife from the
bed room. “Tumble down stairs
and break your neck.” -
“Not me!” answered Jones, “I’ll
pay for the supper first.”
