In Atlanta and one or two other
places in Georgia for some weeks ne
gro preachers have been telling their
flocks that on March fi the believers
would be taken up in a cloud and car
ried to Heaven. Large crowds of col
ored people gathered in the appointed
places on thtp day and waited for the
ascension, but the chariot did not
come down, and in Atlanta they moved
on on. to Grant’s Park and from thence
down the Southern road toward Mc-
Donough. hut at hist accounts they
were still on the earth and their pas
tors had derserted them.

march of progress. We cannot afford
to rest ou our laurels simply because
we have attained one desire. That
would uot build any town iu the world
and Tifton is au unfortunate example
of that principle. Bbo might have

A GEORGIAN WISH SIO,OOO.
Harry Stillwell Edwards’ Story A
warded First Prize in the Chicago
Record’s Great “Stories of
Mystery” Competition
to the World.
The Chicago Record, with marvel
lous enterprise, offered $30,000 in prizes
to the authors of the world for the
best “stories of mystery.” The con
test was advertise 1 in the newspapers
of every English-speaking country on
on the globe, and 810 manuscripts
were submitted from all parts of Eng
land, as well as from every nook and
corner of the United States. The fust
prize of SIO,OOO has just been award-
ed to Mr. Harry Still .veil Edwards, of
Macon Ca., and a check for that a
raount has been forwarded to him.
The Atlanta Journal has at a
heavy cash expenditure secured ex
clusive rights to publish Mr. Edwards’
great prize story, “Sons and Fathers,”
and it will appear in daily installments
in The Journal, contemporaneously
with its publication in the Chicago
Record. The story will begin Mon
day, March 23d.
In add;.ion to being tire winner of
the SIO,OOO prize this is a “mystery
story,” that is, a mystery is woven
through it, but is not developed up til
the last chapter. Fifty-seven chapt
ers will be published and then publi
cation will be suspended for one week
during which interval the readers of
The Journal will bo allowed to guess
at the solution of the mystery, which
will he revealed in the concluding
chapter. For the best guess The
Journal offers SSO in gold.
The Atlanta J .uruol will be sent
to any address, tor the five weeks
through which the story will run, for
50c. Send postal note or*so two-cent
stamps to The Journal, Atlanta, Ga.
MAItIIY or itKNNKIT.
It seems now that the race for solic
itorship will'be betwcin Bennett and
Mabry. At the Appling superior
court last week all three candidates
were present and a vote was taken by
the grand jury which resulted in a
tie between Mabry and Bennett, each
receiving 8 votes while Toomer re
ceived only 5, It is said that Mabry
will probably get the endorsement of
the Clinch court which convenes this
week, lie or Bennett will surely get
the support from Glynn, and these
are some of the forts which Toomer
thought he had well garrisoned.
From the evidences before us there
is strong reason to believe that Coffee,
another county claimed by Toomer in
the beginning of (he race, will en
dorse Benutt, and there is no tell
ing what change will take place in
Ware if Bennett and Mabry push
their claims before the grand jury
there. However, there are some rea
sons to believe that War? will give
Toomer its endorsement.
Mabry will make Bennett a stronger
race than was first anticipated frmn
his candidacy.

Mr. Wm. Toucht >n. agent of the
Plant System at Pearson has bee A
promoted to the agency at Tifton,
and lias already entered upon his du
ties at that place, This is one of the
most deserved compliments the Fl int
System could have pronounced; for
there is not a man iu the realm of the
of our knowledge who has been more
faithful to a positive adherence to du
ty than has Mr. Toueliton. He cer
tainly is a man of strict business prin
ciple without auy deviation, and.
yet, unlike many others of this char
acter who are hash in its enforcement
he is gentle and courteous withal.
Pearson people regret to lose
him and his family but they all rejoice
in his promotion.
When the supremo court of Ala
bama convened in Montgomery last
week some extremely dithcuU eases
wore to be disposed of, and a lawyer
who was interested suggested that the
Bible be read and prayer be offered
before the business was takenup The
Judge agreed to the suggestion and the
lawyer read a chapter and the solicitor
offered prayer. Truly there is pow< r
in God and none should realize it
more than the courts of justice.
