This will be the first annual south ern campmeetiug of the Christian alli ance and will be attended by people from all over the south. It is the pur pose of those interested in tho meeting to make it one of the largest religious gatherings this section has ever known, and active preparations have been in progress for some time and will con tinue until the time of the meeting. The alliance has secured Piedmont park and the free use of the buildings’. Matters will Iffe so arranged that a great number of families can camp on tho grounds, and a number of tents, the property of the alliance, will be brought south and placed at the dis posal of the visitors. While campmeetingsof this kind un der the auspices of the Christian Alli ance are neld every summer in the north and east, none have yet been held in the south. At tho last meet ing held in New York city it was de termined that a meeting should bo held in the south. After looking over the entire field, Atlanta wns selected as tho most couveuient point, and preparations were at once begun to make the meeting a notable one. The place of meeting will not he changed yearly and the annual southern camp meeting will be held in Atlanta everv year. The meeting will be attended by a large number of world famous evangel ists who will address tho sessions. These ministers will come from nil parts of tho country, and will ho aid ed by the local ministers who are friendly to the Christian Alliance movement. The Christian Alliance held a meet ing in Atlanta in March, and at that time a number of prominent ministers were present. These will attend the campmeeting and will be accompanied by othei s. liev. A. It. Simpson, Stephen Mer rist, LeLaelienr, the famous mission ary; Revs, Wilson, Millard, Ollsou, the South American missionary Hous ton, Holmes, J. M. Pike, Miller, Fife, Shaw and Todd, in addition to many others. Miss May Agnew and Miss Mattie Perry will also ho preseut.

The Brumby sw< r 1 fund will be closed in a few days, as soon as all the parties written to have sent in replies. All of the (ieorgia congressmen have been heard from and without exception they have sent a dollar to the fund. A great number of the state legislators have also been heard from and a full list of them will be published us soon as they all have time to reply. The students of the University of Georgia are raisiug a list to be added to the fund by getting small subscrip tions from the boys. Lieutenant Brumby was at one time a student of the university and the boys iu Athaus ' are takiug a lively interest in the move ment to present him with a sword. Lists have been received from Dal ton, Marshal ville, Washington and Thomasville. Several towns have re ported that they will send in good lists. There are still a few towns to be heard from and the committee is anxious that they report as soon ns possible, as it is his desire that the list be closed as soon as possible. Lieutenant Brumby is expected home the latter part of July or the first part of August, and the committee wants! to have the sword ready for presenta tion by the time he arrives. The fnud is rapidly reaching hand some proportions and the sword or dered will be one of the most elegant in the country. * * * Dispute Over County Dine* Gwinnett and Walton comities have a boundary dispute. About 14,000 acres of land are involved. The loca tion of tho nourishing town, Loguns villc, is involved, and it is claimed that the town belongs to Gwinnett in stead of to Walton county. Logansville has a population of about 000 and since the ouening of the new railroad through Lawrence ville has taken on new life aud shows evidence of prosperity and rapid growth. It is said that the people of Logansville hope to be thrown on the Gwinnett side of the line, as they have railroad communication with Lawrenceville, the county seat of Gwinnett, but have none to Monroe, the county seat of Walton. * * • Foul Play Suspected. The relatives in Atlanta of Alexius Balk, who died in Havana several months ago, have been informed that suspicious circumstances surrounding his death indicate foul play, and they are doing all in their power to bring the guilty parties to justice. Mr. Balk was well known in Atlauta, having been connoted with a prominent firm in that city as traveling salesman. * * * Harmony Prevail*. The last semblance of discord be tween the Consolidated Street Railway Company and the Traction Company at Atlanta was done away with when cases 30 and 37, know'n as the Atlanta Street railway eases, on the docket of the supreme court, were formally dis missed by request of attorneys for both companies. The two cases were among the first to be placed on the docket of the Atlanta circuit, hut w'ere subsequently moved to the heel of the docket. * * * Governor Invited to ltanquet. Governor Candler and the members tf his staff have been, invited to attend a banquet hi Athens during the com ing university commencement, to be given by the three members of the stnfT in that city.

Tho proposed constitutional amend ment to remove the Florida state cap itol from Tallahassee to Jacksonville was killed in the Louse of representa tives after a long debate. Hon. Frank Clark, McWilliams and Speaker Mc- Namee spoke favoring the measure, while Judge Raney and Colonel Nat Welker opposed it. These gentlemen are the best orators in the house and crowds from both Jacksonville and Tallahassee tilled the hall and lent ex citement to the notable scene. It was the liveliest day of the session since the senatorial contest. There were thirty-seven votes for Jackson ville and thirty for Tallahassee, but a three-fifths vote was needed to submit the amendment to the people, so Jacksonville lost. NO SCENES ENACTED At the Opening of the Dr*yfus Trial In Paris. A Paris special says: The Dreyfus affair appears to have lost the power of producing any unusual excitement. The scene in the court of cassation when that body met Monday to hear the debates in the application for a revision of the Dreyfus case had all the aspects of a solemn religious cere mony, and the elaborate precautions tq prevent the expected riotous dem onstrations proved quite unnecessary. Nothing indicated that anything unus ual was happening iu the assembly. FLORAL TRIBUTES REJECTED. G. A. R. Committee Creates a Sensation At Columbus, Ohio. There was an unfortunate incident of Memorial Day in Columbus, 0., which was a direct slight to the Con federate veterans, aud which has cre ated a sensation in local G. A. R. cir cles. The snub consisted of the re fusal of a magnificent floral tribute ten dered by the southerners, to be placed oil the graves of the Lnion dead in Green Lawn cemetery. The tribute, in view of the events of the past year, was peculiarly appropriate, represent ing the north and the south grasping the Union flag. The tender was made by ex-Confed erates who appreciated the efforts which have been made to cement the north and south, but when the matter was laid before the general floral com mittee representing the G. A. R. posts they declined to accept it. Before the matter could be brought before the general membership of the different posts and undone, the design was ac cepted by the Ex-Soldiers’ and Sailors’ association, who used it in their exer cises during the day. The marshal of the parade had in vited the ex-confederates to partici pate in the exercises of the G. A. R. and quite a number of them ap peared before they learned of the snub. They withdrew immediately, but joined the ex-soldiers and sailors. There is great indignation among the various members of the G. A. R. posts, and the southerners have been assured that the action of the commit tee represented only individual opin ion, and is not the spirit of the vari ous posts. It is highly probable that action will be taken in regular form to disavow the work of the committee. PROMINENT CITIZEN MISSING. Athens, Ga., Bank Cashier Benedict Mysteriously Disappears. John A. Benedict, cashier of the Exchange bank of Athens, Ga., has disappeared and his friends fear that he has either lost his life by accident or has met with foul play somewhere near Greenville, S. C. To those who do not know him the first impression w’ould be that some thing was wrong with his bank affairs, but there is not the least suspicion of anything like this. Asa matter of fact, the books of the bank, the cash and everything con nected with it has been examined and found to be correct, both by the state bank examiner and by President Bai ley, of the bank. A dispatch from Greenville states that he disappeared from there Tues day afternoon a week ago and no trace cau be found of him after the most diligent inquiry. Mr. Benedict left Athens Monday morning and arrived in Greenville to visit the mills in the surrounding country Tuesday afternoon. He reg istered at the Mansion house and was directed for a team by the clerk to a livery stable a couple of blocks from the hotel. So far as can be ascertained ne did not go to the stable or applj r for any team anywhere in the city or leave on any train. The police have made diligent inquiry by telephone and tel egraph throughout the up-country, but without avail. BOOMING WHEELER. Many Alabama Papers Nominate Him For Governor cf the State. A Birmingham dispatch says: With almost one accord the newspapers in General Wheeler’s congressional dis trict have united in a call for him to enter the race for governor and heal the disruption that now exists in the democratic party in Alabama. The call has been taken up by other papers in central and southern Ala bama, and it is said that Wheeler might be induced to enter the field if he is not sent to the Philippines. If he ran he would be nominated and elected without a doubt. Even the populists and republicans w ill scarcely oppose him. Wheeler’s election as governor would, it is believed, insure him eventually a seat in the United States senate. Will Build Big Depot. The Southern Railway company has made arrangements for erecting a $50,000 freight depot at Rome, Ga. Work will commence very soon. Stolen Child Not Found. Captain McCluskey of New York re ports that he lias learned nothing new about the kidnaped child, Marion Clark, or the nurse, Carrie Jones. FIRST CASE OF FEVER.

The case was regarded as a suspicious one, but not until after the autopsy on Monday morniug could the character of the disease be determined with certainty. The board of health declares that there is no other case in New Orleans. PROFESSIONAL CARDS. L. C. RUSSELL. E. C. ARMISTKAD. RUSSELL & ARMISTEAD, Attorneys at Law. Winder, Ga. Jefferson. Ga. W. H.
