Vol. X. No. 221
THE MARRIAGE OF MINORS
Presbyterians Want Instructions as
to What They Must Do
Richmond, Va , May 22 —The rcgu
lar session of the Presbyterian general
assembly Saturday was devoted almost
exclusively to the transaction of rous
tine business. Greetings were sent to
the general assemblies now sitting in
Minneapolis and Denver, and greet'
ings received from them
Among the overtures received and
referred was one from Mecklenburg,
Va., presbytery, asking "if a minister
is justifiable in performing the mar
riage ceremony when both parties
being of marriageable age, are under
the age of 21, and the minister has
reason to believe that the marriage is
without the consent of the parents of
one or both parties to the contract.”
The same presbytery asks the ataem
bly to withdraw from the intertational
Sunday school committee.
The Fayetteville, N. C., presbytery
sent up an overture praying for the
appointment of a judicial and iniluen
tial committee to prepare a communi
cation on worldly amusements, with
particular reference to dancing, card
playing and theater-going, the com
munication to be read from the pulpit
in the Southern church.
The report on colored evangelization
was submitted It shows that thesum
of $2,427 has been paid to colored
ministers and churches ; all debts have
been paid, and the work has been
maintained in all its departments.
The year closes with $2,000 in bank,
which will keep the work going until
December.
The next report was that on educa
tion. The committee on Christian
education, appointed last year, report
ed recommending the establishment
of church schools of the preparatory
grade. The report was made the
special order for Monday.
Dr. Woodrow, the cbairn an of the
judicial committee, said he had great
pleasure in announcing to the assmbly
that there could be no judicial case
before the assembly. The time for
filing notice of contest expired Friday
night, and no such notice Lad been
given. He said he could not ask for
the discharge of the committee, as
something might possibly turn up>
though it was a subject for congratu
lation that no contested judicial cases
were before the body at that time.
None of the standing committees
being ready to report, the assembly
took a recess until 8 :15 o’clock p. m.
Tonight the assembly received the
Covenanters, the boys’ societ’es of the
church, the first one of which was or
ganized by Miss Catbarihe Hawes of
this city, and an address was made by
Cannon. The societies ®1 the church
of Richmond attended as bodies, and
with them were representatives of the
organization in outside churches.
Later the Covenanters entertained
the assembly at a reception.

Reform of Currency.
Washington, May 22.—1 tis under
stood that the house republican cau’
cus committee appointed to frame a
scheme of currency reform has agreed
upon a measure along the following
lines:
The redemption of all obligations of
the government in gold on demand
Greenbacks, when once redeemed for
gold, to be reissued only for gold.
Permitting the national banks to
issue notes to the par value of their
government bonds deposited in the
treasury, instead of 90 per cent as at
present.
Permitting ti e minimum capital of
national banks to be $25,000 instead of
$50,000 as present.
Thia plan is much less comprehen
sive than ardent advocates of general
currency and revision have urged, but
was adopted because harmonious
agreement on it was possible, which
was not the case when more radical
measures wet. suggested

TWO WAR TIME ESCORTS
5 Girl Went Out With Union Officer;
Returned With Confederate.
Washington, May 22—A woman
I now living in Washington can boast
I of a personal incident in her career so
. strange as to challenge the probability
> of its ever having been paralleled. On
i the Sunday morning previous to the
battle of Antietam a young lieutenant
in the Union army who with others
I bad been making his headquarters at
, her father's house, much against the
• will of that old-'.ime southerner, es-
• corted the girl to the village church
i in Rockville, Md. The chuch was in
• the centre of the little town, while the
i young woman’s residence was on the
■ outskirts.
The day was hot and the village
streeets very dusty. Scarcely any one
was in the streets, but as the young
couple turned a corner a single horse,
man sprang from the saddle, and,
placing his band upon the arm of the
Lieutenant, said, “You are my pris
oner, sir.” Instantly the roadway
seemed full of Confederate cavalry.
The Union lieutenant was placed in
charge of others by his captor, who
was a captain, and a gallant one at
that, for, turning to the astonished
young girl, be said : "I’m very sorry
indeed to interrupt your churchgoing,
and particularly to deprive you of the
company of your young friend.”
"Not a friend at all —hardly an ac
quaintance,” she replied, too confused
l® know just what she was saying, but
quite certain she didn’t want to boast
of any great degree of intimacy with a
Federal officer.
"Permit me,” continued the captain,
“to see you safe home,” and be turned
and walked back with her to her fath
er’s door. "I really very much regret
to annoy you in any way,” he contin
ued, “but you know these are war
times and onr duties often impose on
us many disagreeable tasks. At least,
you have bad as your escort, on the
same day, to and from the church, a
Union and a Confederate officer. Yau
will pardon me for saying that your
youth and beauty deserves the recog
nition it has received. You left home
with a second lieutenant and returned
the same hour with a captain, who
sincerely regrets that while he wishes
you long life and happiness, he must
now bid you good by.”
The captain proved a very brave and
famous one, as the girl discoveied,and
now when be is on the retired list, en
joying the social side of Washington,
she frequently meets him. He has
almost forgotten the Sunday morning
episode, but she will never.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1899.
Some Views of the Silver Plank.
In h sp-p.-h to the Jff}V-s .n Club at
; Omaha the oilier d.y (' B. vhi said :
"Il is my belief that iiui.e of us will
live to see a plank taken out of the
( Chicago platform. New questions will
t come up and the platform will be ad
} ded to, but nothing will be taken
away.”
In an interview in New York, re
, ported in Thursday's World, Hon.
t Evan I’. Howell is quoted as saying :
9 “Mr, Bryan is unquestionably the idol
, of the Democratic voters, but not a
, few of the latter are frank to declare
that he must put the silver question
. in the background, and make the fight
against trusts and monopolies.”
Mr, Howell referred to the Demo
cratic voters of Georgia, as we under
stand bis interview, when he said that
not a few of them insist that Mr. Bry
an shall leave silver in the background
He is a very good politician and is
quick to catch the drift of public sen
timent.
There has been no opportunity, of
course, to discover to what extent ilie
belief that it would be advisable to put
silver in the back ground is entertain
ed by Democratic voters of this state,
but it is probable that the number of
them ie quite large. But ali who en
tertain that view are not hostile to
silver. On the contrary, the majority
of them, it is safe to say, are as firmly
convinced that free silver coinage
would be a good thing for the country
as they ever were. But they have
doubts of the party’s ability to win in
the next national contest if the silver
question is made the leading issue, ae
it was in the campaign of 1896.
It is certain the conditions are not
as favorable for silver at this time as
they were during the last presidential
campaign. Still, it is impossible to
say now what the conditions will be
by the lime the next campaign begins.
Bad times may come within the next
year, and they would be hopeful to the
cause «f silver. As the situation is at
present, however, there seems to be
considerable ground for thinking that
many Democrat. are questioning the
wisdom of making the silver question
the leading one in the coming cam
paign. Mr. Howell comes into contact
with leading Democrats in all parts of
the state, and is therefore in a position
to know the drift of their thought on
political questions—Savannah News.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot b.e cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

It is practically assured that the
next senators from Mississippi—two
are to be elected by the legislature to
be chosen next fall —will be selected
by primary election Thirtj-rigbt
counties have already ordered prima
ries to express their preference for
senators and to instruct their repre
sentatives in the legislature to vote
for their choice. These thirty—eight
counties have a total of ninety votes
in the joint assembly, which is just
exactly a majority of both houses
“Private” John Allen and Gov. Me*
Laurin are candidates for the long
term, with the chances of one about
as good ae those of the other. It ie
not likely that Senator Sullivan will
have opposition for the short term.
Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened its clutch'
es upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent For three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
away to recovery, by purchasing ol
us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discov
ery for Consumption and was so much
relieved on taking the first dose, that
she slept all night; and with two bot
tles, has been absolutely cured. Her
name is Mrs Luther Lutz” Thus
