Fletcher Copeland, a labor agent,
was arrested here Saturday after
noon, charged with enticing labor
ers from this county. Copeland
claimed that he represented a
Texas concern and was offering
mill hands free transportation and
$1.75 per day.
• After the arrest, realizing that
there was a dead shot case against
him he immediately sought to set¬
tle the affair; the president of the
Covington Cotton Mills agreed not
to push the case if Copeland would
agree to leave the county at once,
this he agreed to do so, Copeland
immediately procured transporta¬
tion for himself and not for others.

COMMENCEMENT
BEST IN HISTORY.
The Exercises Largely Attended.
Asa G. Candler Elected Pres¬
ident of School Board.
Commencement exercises of
Emory were the best in the his¬
tory of the institution. The ex¬
ercises were largely attended by
the people of the county and
there were the usual visitors.
The social feature was not as
prominent as is usdal neverthe¬
less there were many visitors, both
young ladies and young men.
The trustees met Saturday
morning and elected M. Asa G.
Candler President to succeed Capt.
J. P. Williams. The petition of
the students for intercollegiate
■ ports was rejected by the trustees.
This was expected by all who
knew the personell of the Board.
Sunday morning Bishop J. J.
Tigert, ot Nashville Tenn.,
preached the commencement ser¬
mon. This sermon was one of
the strongest ever heard in the
chapel church at Oxford. Bishop
Tigert held the attention of his
audience from the opening to the
close of his sermon; this is some¬
what unusual at college com¬
mencements.
At four o’clock Sunday after¬
noon Dr. Young J. Allen, the fa¬
mous missionary to China gave a
very interesting talk ou •‘Chinese
Government”. Dr. Allen is an
authority on this subject and gave
those who heard him a great deal
of valuable information. Dr. Al¬
len lived in his youth in this coun¬
ty, in fact he was converted in
Sarrsville.
On Sunday nsght Dr. J. B. Mc¬
Ghee, of the South Georgia con¬
ference preached to a large congre¬
gation.
Monday morning the Freshmen
took charge and entertained a
crowded house from 11 till alter
twelve. Among the Freshmen
speakers were Carl D. Elliott, of
Covington. The medal for the
best declamation was awarded to
A. F. Hill of Greenville.
The Sophmore declamation medal
was awarded to J. C. Brooks, ol
Washington. Among the Sopho¬
more speakers was W. C. Clark, of
Covington, and Bonnell Stone, of
Oxford, Ga.
W J Delaney, of DeLand, Fla.,
was awarded Sub-Freshman schol¬
arship for the highest average in
his class.
Monday afternoon occurred th 0
champion debate between Few and
Phi Gama society. This was one
of the finest debates ever held at
Emory commencement and one of
the most hotly contested.
Mr. Charles C Elliott of Coving
ton is said by those who heard the
debate made the best speech of the
afternoon.
At 8:80 o'clock Monday the
special gymnasium class held their
drill in the College Auditorium.
The class did excellent work under
the supervision of Prof. FC Brown.
Among the medals awarded, C
C Elliott, Biblical essay for upper
classman, W C Clark, Biblical es¬
say to under-classman. Newton’s
boy T s seem to be Bible students.
Tuesday morning Judge W A
Covington delivered the literary
address to members of Few and Phi
Gama societies.
This address was enjoyed by all
Mr. Covington is a polished and
elegant speaker.
Tuesday occurred the Junior
class orations; Mr. W A Wood- j
ruff represented Covington in this
contest. The boys all did well. I
'
Tuesday night there were no ex-.
ercises at the Chapel. The alumni j
banquet was pulled off at Central
Dining Hall. Judge W H Thomas
was the Alumni orator. Judge
Thomas is one of the most distin¬
guished men of the Emory- alumni. j

GUBERNATORIAL I
CANDIDATES WAR.
Hoke Smith and Clark Howell
Have Joint Debate. Both
Showed Marked Ability.
The debate has come and gone.
An immense crowd was present and
each speaker was loudly applaud¬
ed. As the debate was likely to
be the most important event of the
Gubernatorial campaign, both Mr.
Smith and Mr. Howell evidently
did their best.
Now, since it is all over and
notes have been compared by the
audience, what appears to be the
result of the debate as it appears
to an impartial observer ? How
much wiser is the public after each
man has had his say ?
To us it appears/rom Mr. How¬
ell’s speech that in the past there
has been no end of crooked State
politics, and that Mr. Smith is not
guiltless—neither is Mr. Howell,
whose record however, was not so
much exposed as Mr. Smith’s.
Smith showed his splendid judg¬
ment when he devoted his time
mainly to political issues', and not
to personal records. Jn this he
made a great hit, and the audience
by a large majority were in sym¬
pathy with him and his views.
Mr. Howell devoted too much of
his time to his opponents inconsis¬
tency during the time when poli¬
tics were conducted more on a per¬
sonal basis than they are today,
and, in aoiug this, bis speech lost
much of its force. Smith stressed
the iact that there were certain is¬
sues before the public, and the dis
cussiou of these were of infinitely
of more importance than the mere
rehearsal of past politics, however
shady they may have been.
Mr. Howell’s speech on this
chosen line was d f fine effort, and
he showed himself a speaker bi
unusual ability; Smith, however,
was more logical, and his sincerity
in expounding his position was ev¬
ident. The consensus of opinion
seems to be that Mr. Smith was
victorious, and no doubt his can¬
didacy has received a renewed im¬
petus since the debate.
A great many citizens of Cov¬
ington and Newton county were
present and much interest in the
discussions was shown bv all.
Wind Causes Damage.
The wind and rain Tuesday
which came m such gusts did con¬
siderable damage to shade tress in
Covington. Several were blown
down on Floyd St., and trees on
others streets were also damaged.
Protracted Services.
On Thursday evening at eight
o’clock the Methodists will begin
protracted services. These meet¬
ings will b j held each morning at
ten o’clock a. d evening at eight.

contested for a medal. At the
Conclusion it was announced that
the medal had been awarded to
Mr. C C Elliott, of Covington.
This is the second medal awarded
to Mr. Elliott this commencement.
The commencement was a suc¬
cess in every detail. Covington
and Newton county ought to be
satisfied as every program claimed
