The Force Bill.
The force bill seems to be dead for the
present It will be revived at the next
session. We are not sure but that it
would be best for the Democrats for it to
pass. It looks now like independentism
would cross out all over Georgia. Pickett
is a candidate in the 9th. Felton is be¬
ing urged to run in the 7th and strong
influences are being urged on Albert Cox
and others to get them to run in the
5th. If we were brought face to face
with the force bill, and it was apparent
that we had to fight for white supre¬
macy, the people would see that it was
necessary to stand together and would
give no encouragement to independent¬
ism and to Republicanism, for at this
time independentism is nothing but Re¬
publicanism. it
With the force bill out of the way
becomes nothing but a scramble for of¬
fice, and the people having no fear of
negro supremacy or boss of their rights
before them, run off after their favorites
and on the slightest pretext refuse to
support the nominee.
We feared such results when the men
and issues that are before us were forced
on the party. Judge Stewart, a man of
learning, ability, experience and charac-
te has been forced out of
th a field by a man with¬
out either ability, experience or chracter
and as many people believe without even
common honesty, and yet he will repre¬
sent the capitol district. There arc thou¬
sands of people, and with vast interests,
who want to be represented by men in
whom they have confidence and who are
above reproach. The remedy for all this
is not independentism. We may lose
more than we gain, and it is necessary to
submit to seme humiliating things, than
to disentegrate the jMrty. One term wifi
satisfy even the dullest man in the fifth
district that they are misrepresented, and
a good man will in the future represent
them. As for the seventh and ninth dis¬
tricts both Everett and Winn are good
men, but witfiout ability. They will do
the best they can for their section.
We commend to the readers of the
Herald the following extract from Gov.
Gordon's speech to the State Alliance in
Atlanta last week.
I CANNOT ENDORSE THE SPECIFIC SUB-
TREASURY BILL,
because I do not believe even if it could
be passed that it would bring the relief
you seek. The endorsement of specific
bills is not what you need. You need
first to win the victory for reform by
general agitation on all lines, and then
when the general battle is won let all the
combined wisdom of all the friends of
the cause be called into requisition the for
perfecting the best measure for pur¬
pose. For all these great principles, the future I
shall continue to do battle in
as in the past; but I should be untrue to
you if I did not tell you, frankly, that if
you insist ou denouncing every endorse man as
your enemy who will not a
specific bill, drive from your ranks many
earnest friends and even your brethren of
Missouri who refuse to endorse it, you
cannot afford to pin your destinies to
any one programme or cast all your future
in any one specific boat, which may be
engulfed and lost. I did not ask you or
your representatives to endorse a plan for
increasing the currency which 1 might
think without a flaw, because you
might fiud that I was mistaken.
This question of finance is the
most obstruse and difficult
of all the problems of human government,
and all you need and all you ought to ask
is that your representatives shall battle
for the great principle and secure it by
the best possible measure the combined
wisdom of all can construct. Are you go¬
ing to secure your great reforms by say¬
ing to the friends of those reforms, we do
not want your help unless you agree with
the exact programme we have laid down?
Are you going to recruit a great army
from all over this co’ntinent by requiring
that every soldier in yonr ranks shall
measure six feet two inches by the yard
stick, and weigh precisely 182f pounds,
no more and no less? Is that general¬
ship? Are you to
shut the gates of heaven
against every man who does not go
through one particular church? Christ
thought that all were His followers who
believid in Him as the Crucified Re¬
deemer. All he asked for the great army
of the cross was devotion to the great
principle. He was tested on that very
point, you remember. On one occasion
John said to him: “Master, this man
casteth out devils in Thy name, and we
forbade him because he followeth not us. ”
What was Christ's reply ? This God-man,
this man of all wisdom, rebuked John
and commanded that he be let alone, say¬
ing: “He that is not against us is for
U8. ”
So I would say to you, my friends.
We shall need the votes and the sympa¬
thy and the aid of all sections, all classes,
all professions who agree as to the great
end.
Let us unite and lift this great cause of
governmental reform high differences above all petty
jealousies and minor or per¬
sonal ambitions, looking only to the suc¬
cess of the cause.
On account of this patriotic,honest and
conservative speech Boss McCune, of
Washington City, has issued an order to
the Georgia Alliance directing them to
defeat Gordon for the senate. It remains
to be seen whether they will think and
vote for themselves or will take orders
from Washington, Gordon has served
the people of Georgia long and well.
He was a brave and true soldier. He led
their fight against Bulloch a bayonet rule
in 1808. He is the ablest and bravest
chief magistrate that ever occupied the
seat. Will the Democracy of Georgia
defeat him at the declaration of an Illi¬
nois Republican? We believe not. No
man can be elected to the Legislature
from Crawford that will vote against
Gordon. The leading members of the
Alliance are among his warmest sup¬
porters.
A Lover’s Dream.
TO
I have waited for thy coming
Oh! for years;
And my heart is tossed and tortured
With its fears.
In night visions I behold thee
Far away;
And I wake to love thee only
All the day.
Love was given, never doubting,
Lavishly;
Strong and constant, never changing,
As the sea.
Ah! life was a beautiful spring time
Long ago;
Now we will only meet
‘‘Out on the dreamland shore. ”
Since we were together passed;
Years have
Those of olden times were too pure
To last.
Yes, ’tis years since I sadly
Said “good-bye;”
And the cruel separation
Made me sigh.
Come back to this lonely heart
Of mine,
And I'll promise truly, truly,
To be only thine.
“God in mercy watches over
All, and ministers to those
Whose sad hearts are bound in sorrow,
So I’ll trust him to the close.
Mayhap He, in loving kindness,
Seeking e’er to lessen pain, ,
Will sometime iu tender mercy
Give me back thy love again.”

FROM WALKER’S CHAPPEL.
Editors: —If you will give me a small
space I will give you a few dots.
News scarce, cotton opening, lots of
sickness.
Messrs. John Avery, Stephen Wilson
and ladies are visiting their father-in-
law, Mr. H. C. Bowers.
Mr. Dock Visage and daughter visited
relatives here Saturday and Sunday.
A great many people are talking of
moving from Crawford. Gvess we will
go two.
Everybody seems to be at home. We
can’t see anybody pass but our honest
neighbor. Guess he goes fishing.
Our corner can boast of only one dude
and he is so bashful that we will not
meutiou his name, for fear he will not
get his color back before Sunday, and
his girl will ask for an explanation.
Mr. W. II., of our corner is sick, Der-
haps; he is love sick, as his girl is sick
also. They probably have been keeping
late hours at night, as he is known to
have been ten nights in succession. He
says one night in a week and only to ten
o’clock then, shall be the programme
from this on.
There is a charming young lady near
here whose mouth is never closed. Her
name is Miss . O, I won’t tell her
name. She says tell Mr. Editor if there
is any Knoxville boys that want to marry
and he thinks she will suit, to send him
down, she knows they will suit her.
Mr. T. L. C. leaves often to visit rela¬
tives and friends in Taylor. There sure¬
ly is something more attractive than rela¬
tives, and says more about a young lady
than relatives. I happened to over-hear
him this morning talking to himself, say¬
ing what he was going to tell his girl
when got there. It is too good to teii,
and I must keep it to myself.

Subject: “Kind Words Never Die,
Cherished and Blessed.”

When Solomon said this he drove a whole
volume into one phrase. You, of course,
will not beso silly as to take the words of
the text in a literal sense. They simply
mean to set forth the fact that there is a
tremendous power in a kind word. Al-
though it may seem to be very insigmificant,
its force is indescribable and illimitable.
"Pungent soft and ail conquering utterance: “A
tongue breaketh the bone,”
If the wee,‘her were not so hot and I had
time I would show you kindness as a means
of defense; kindness kindness as a means of useful-
ness; as a means of domestic har-
mony; kindness as best employed by govern-
merits for the taming and curing of crimi-
nals, and kindness as best adapted for the
settling and adjusting of international quar-
reis; but I shall call your attention only to
two of these thoughts.
And first I speak to you of kindness as a
means of defense. Almost every man in the
coarse of his life is set upon and assaulted.
Your motives are misinterpreted, and your
religious or political principals are bom-
barded. What to do under such circurn-
stances is the question. Tho first impulse of
the natural heart says: “Strike back. Give
as much as he sent. Trip him into the ditch
which he dug for your feet. Gash him with
as severe a wound as that which he
inflicted on your soul. Shot for shot.
Sarcasm for sarcasm. An eye for an
eye. A tooth for a tooth.” But the
better spirit in the man’s soul rises up and
says: “You ought to reconsider that mat-
ter.” You look up into the face of Christ and
say: “My Master, how ought I to act under
these difficult circumstances?” And Christ
mstantly and answers: for “Bless them that curse
you, pray them which despitefully '
use Then you.”
the old nature rises up again and says:
“You had better not forgive him until first
I ou have chastised him. You will never get
un in so tight a corner again. You will
never have such an opportunity of inflicting
tne right kind of punishment upon him
again. *irst chastise him and then let him

over and try to shoot them
down. The game is too small for the gun.
But what, thou, are you to do with the
abuses that come upon you in life, you
are to live them down. I saw a farmer go
out to get back a swarm of bees that had
wandered off from tho hive. Ashe moved
amid them they buzzed around his head,
and buzzed around his hands, and buzzed
around his feet. If he had killed ono of
them they would have stung him to death.
But he moved in their midst with perfect
placidity wandering until he had captured the swarm
of bees. And so I have seen
men moving amid the annoyances, and
the vexations, and the assaults of life in
such calm, Christian deliberation that all
the buzzing around about their soul
amounted to nothing. They conquered
them, and above all they conquered them¬
selves. “Oh,” you say, “that’s a very good
theory to preach on a hot day, but it won’t
w fil work. It has worked. I
beheve it . is . the last Christian grace we
win. You know there are fruits which we
gather in Jnne, and others in September, July, and
others to August, and others in
and still others in October; and I have to
admit that this grace of Christian for¬
giveness is about the last fruit of the Chris¬
tian soul.
We hear a great deal about the bitter
tongue, and the sarcastic tongue, and the
quick tongue, and the stinging tongue, but we
know very little about “the soft tongue that
breaketh the bone.” We read Hudibras, and
oterae, Dean Swift and other apostles of
acrimony, but give little time to studying
the example of Him who was reviled, and vet
reviled not again. O that the Lord by His
spirit would endow us all with “the soft
tongue that breaketh the bone.”
^ press now to the other thought that I de-
aire to present, and that is, kindness as a
means of usefulness. In all communities
you find skeptical men. Through early edu¬
cation, or through the maltreatment of pro¬
fessed Christian people, or through prying
cur iosity about the future world, there are a
great many people who become skeptical in
’ religious things. How shall you and capture
them for God? Sharp argument single soul from sarcas¬ skep¬
tic retort never won a While
ticism to the Christian religion. of Christian¬ pow¬
erful books on the “Evidences
ity” have their mission in confirming Chris¬
tian people in the faith they have already
adopted, I have noticed that when skeptical
people are brought into the kingdom of Christ
tt is through the charm of some genial soul,
and not by argument at all.
Men are not saved through the head; they
are saved through the heart. A storm comes
out of its hiding place. It says: “ Now,
we’ll just rouse up all this sea;” and it makes
a great bluster, but it does not succeed. Part
of the sea is roused up—perhaps one-half of
it, or one-fourth of it. After a while the
calm moon, placid and beautiful, looks down,
and the ocean begins to rise. Itcomesupto the
high water mark. It embraces great
headlands. It submerges the beaches of all
the continents. It is the heart throb of one
world against ths heart throb of another
world. And I have to tell you that whilo all
your storms of ridicule and storms of sarcasm
may rouse up the passion of an immortal na-
tore, nothing less than the attractive power
of Christian kindness can ever raise thedeath-
less spirit to happiness and to God. I have
more faith in the prayer of a child five years
old, in the way of bringing an infidel back to
Christ and to heaven, than I have in ail the
hissing thunderbolts of ecclesiastical contro-
versy. with religious

argumentation. If you come at a skeptical
man with an argument on behalf of the
Christian religion, you put the man on his
mettle. He says: “I see that man has a car-
bine. Pll use my carbine, ill answer his
argument with my argument.” But if yon
come to that man persuading him that you
desire his happiness on earth and his eternal
welfare in the world to come, he cannot an-
swer it.
What I have said is just as true in the re-
damation of the openly vicious. Did you
ever know a drunkard to be saved through
the caricature of a drunkard? Your thick mimicry tongue,

look at that descent from the cross
as Rubens pictured it, without having his
eyes flooded with tears, if ho have any sensi¬
bility at all. It is an overmastering picture
—one that stuns you, and staggers you, and
nauuts your dreams. One afternoon a man
stood in that cathedral looking at Rubens's
“Descent of Christ from the Cross.” He was
all absorbed in that scene of a Saviour’s suf¬
ferings “It is time when the janitor tho came in and said:

Oh, it is the story of a Saviour's suffering

which has trampled all nations shall be
broken and shattered, it will be found out
that the work was not done by the hammer
of the iconoclast, or by the sword of the
conqueror, by or plain, by the torch of persecution,
but the simple, overwhelming
force of “the soft tongue that breaketh the

WATER POLO.
A New Game Introduced —
Players and their Tasks.
A new sport, picturesque combining genuine di$" re-
creation with athletic
play, is a thing to be hailed with delight
says a Chronicle. New York letter If in addition to the San Frau!

advantages it is one with peculiarly suited to
the season, and so few limitations
that it can be played almost anywhere ’
its popularity is a foregone conclusion.
Such a sport is water polo, which was
played for the first time in this country
only a few weeks ago, and the honor of
its introduction to the list of American
pastimes belongs to Rhode Island. It ij
imported from England, but even there
it has beeu introduced only very lately.
Polo on horseback and polo on skates
have been followed by polo iu the water
and the aquatic method proves to be not
only the safest, but the most interesting
of the three. It will not be surprising
if it should become a feature of the gay 3

Condensed Facts About Cotton.
The following items from Statistician
