Wakhixotox, Jan. 25,1892.—Speak er Crisp b himself again, and the new rules for the House being ready, it is ex- I jiected that the House will now begin to get down to the serious business of the j session. The Republicans arc making i much of Mr. Mills haring declined to ; serve as Chairman of the Committee on Commerce, and .they have made that the : basis for a lot of cock and bull stories about his intending to antagonize on the ; floor of the House the separate tariff | bills that may be reported from the ways and means committee. Mr. Mills is too good a Democrat, proved by long and arduous service to antagonize any policy that may be adopted by a Demo cratic caucus, and there is little doubt that a caucus will soon be held for the purpose of outlining the party policy during the session. It is probable that a joint caucus of the Democratic Senators and Represen tatives will be held to discuss the Chil ian correspondence and Mr. Harrison’s message thereon. The message is lengthy and the correspondence and ac companying documents voluminous, and Senators and members are chary of ex pressing opinious for publication until they have had an opportunity to care fully study and digest them. It is hoped and believed that Congress will act as a when it does act. Foreigners should lie made to understand that however much we may differ on matters of inter nal government we stand shoulder to shoulder as united Americans on all matters pertaining to the foreign policy of the United States, and everybody should adopt the motto of the renowned patriot: w Mv country ; may it always l»e right, hut right or wrong, still my country.” Senators Voorhees and Turpie have made their light against the confirmation of Judge Woods, of Indiana, so vigorous that even the Republican members of the Senate judiciary committee, before which the matter now is, have agreed to await the arrival of a number ot wit nesses, before disposing of the nomina tion. The charges involve the judicial integrity of Woods, a* well as his dis play of jiolitical partisanship in his de cisions, and the Indiana Senators say they will prove them by incontrovertible testimony. The breath had hardly left the body of the late Justice Bradley, of the Su- Court, who became so widely known in connection with the notorious 7 decision of the Electoral Commis- , before Republican Senators and Representatives began to make combi nations to control the nomination of his uccessor. The hopes of Attorney Gen eral Miller are again raised, but it is not believed that the new Justice will be d outside of the third district, composed of the States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Representative Oates, of Alabama, is earnest alurnt his bill authorizing na tional hanks to loan monqr on real es- d he made a strong argument in its favor before the House committee on banking and currency, taking the ground that it would largely increase the vol ume of currency in circulation, increase the value of real estate and cause many people, particularly in the South and West, to find profitable employment who without it. He also spoke favor of the bill to suspend the 10 per on the circulating notes of State banking associations. Republicans can see a great deal better than Democrats if they can, as they profess to do, see where any one of the gentlemen who have been named as probable candidates of the Democratic party for President will be specially ben- efitted by holding the National Conven tion at Chicago, instead of at some other city. None of the members of the Na tional Committee, nearly all of whom your correspondent talked with, regard ed the selection as having any connec tion with any Presidential candidate- No matter what city had been selected the same cry would have been raised. Secretary Foster’s illness was very convenient, as it enabled him to get rid, teni|>orarily at least, of appearing be fore tire House committee on ways and means and answering some questions as to the condition of the country’s finance*. HU place was taken by Assistant Secre tary Spaulding, who made a statement about on a par with the statements usu ally published by the Treasury. He was not sulyrcted to much questioning, as it is the Secretary that the members of the committee want to get at. There are indications that all of the Southern Representatives elected a* members of the Farmers* Alliance will soon be openly acting with the Demo crats, believing that more will be gained for the organization they represent by such an alliance than by going with their colleagues from the northwest into the third party movement. LETTERS TO PREACHERS. BY ZKKE J0HX90X XO. 1U. One very common mistake among teachers and editors of religious papers is setting up straw ^errors in the form of supposed infidel arguments and knocking them down to show their combative skill. Preachers often waste valuable time in this way and do much actual harm. A preacher once wrote a very labored and learned boric to repute infi delity ; he tried to answer eTery infidel argument he could think ofj^and very many preachers cong&Btat«rMmon hu skill and ability. common me chanic read the hook jgnd said: ‘*It suggests more doubts tun it answers ; my trouble is in the heart, not the head.” The average man is very far from being infidel, in fact there are very few in fidels and they are not church-goers. So don’t waste your time . preaching ser- for infidels, for they do not he a If the visible universe, fl»e earth and the heavens with all their grandeur and order cannot convince a man that there is Almightincss of wisdom and power—in a word—that there is a God, then all your arguments' will be wasted upon his mental ebtuseneas. The trouble with men is not infidelity, but fin. Do go at their hearts ahd leave their heads for the philosophers to work on ? When their hearts are right their heads will soon find a way to believe; yes, to believe the “sea stood still” and the “great fish” swallowed Jonah; that Jericho fell,” and Christ raised the dead. Preach faith in God, and leave the infidels and devils to preach infidel ity and doubt if they want it done. Before I pass from this point: If I could get close to the elbows of the edi tors of religious papers I would shove their pens through the paper whenever they start to write learned and lengthy editorials on infidelity, “New Theology” j and “Higher Criticism.” Why, not one in ten would ever hear of or be troubled by these things were it not for their ad vertising them. Let the devil run bis own papers and pay the expenses. The subscribers and advertisers will not do it Somebody handed nse* a copy of an atheistic paper; all -I >**d was the edi tors appeal for assistance. The thing was about to fail. You need not be afraid that infidels will fill the land with tracts, books, papers, etc., gratuitously ; “they are not built that way.” The matter of illustrations is very im- T0 THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA. Upon the invitation of the citizens of Macon, the Georgia Weekly Press As sociation held an extra session December 4th to consider the possibility of a cred itable display of Georgia’s resources at the Columbian Exposition to be held at Chicago in 1893. This convention was largely attended by representative mem bers of the pTess, who fully discussed and thoroughly endorsed the suggestions submitted to them. After full 'deliberation, with a view to inaugurate definite plans to secure the exhibit, the convention appointed a State executive committee, to consist of one member from each congressional district, whose business it is to arrange the details and begin, at once, such ef forts as will best secure the purpose of the convention and advance the interests of the state. The executive committee, constituted by the press convention, met in the city of Macon December 16th, and ef fected permanent oganization by elect ing the Governor of the State chairman of the committee, and W. W. Collins, of Macon secretary. Under instruction given by the con vention, the committee arranged to in crease its membership bv adding one member selected from each of the towns and cities in the State that contains more than three thousand inhabitants. For the purpose of more complete or ganization throughout the State, the Or dinaries of the several counties in this State were requested to furnish to the secretary the name of some public spirit ed citizen in each couuty who would agree to act ns chairman of the county board of directors, whose duty it.is to se lect two other suitable citizens of the county to constitute, with him, a county board for tW : the purpose of securing funds and exhibits for Georgia’s display. The committee further requests the editor of each newspaper in the State to act as special representative of the World’s Fair movement in Georgia, to , , . , , , : open a column for voluntary subscrip- portant; if the preacher would be force- i r , , , * . . 4 . tions, and to urge upon the people from fill he must illustrate. Good illustrations 1 are hard to find and harder still to use. To bo useful an illustration must be j proper methods, this amount of money * can be easily secured from the people of • ! the State. It must not be understood that the ac tive agents in this work are necessarily confined to those named by the commit tee. The county boards, by selection, may call to their aid any other citizen who will consent to render service in ob taining subscriptions or securing exhib its. The amounts collected can be forward ed, from time to time, to the treasurer, W. W. Collins, at Macon, to be securely held under sufficient bond and mi de posit until properly appropriated under direction of the advisory board. To illustrate the enterprise of onr peo ple and the wealth and progress of our State, every patriotic citizen should bring to the help of the committee a worthy contribution of his means and his services, under the hearty en dorsement of his good will. Just as soon as the county borads are well organized information will be given them as to the means for securing con tributions in money and collecting ex hibits. We hope to have the full co operation of all classes of our people. W. J. Northen, Chairman Executive Committee. FARMERS INSTITUTE. Editor Herald: Please publish let ter handed you herewith from Major Ryals, and permit me to suggest that as a special term of our Superior Court will be iu session here next week that a meeting of fanners and those in any way interested in agriculture both in town and the country, be held in the court room during the noon recess some day in the week for the purpose of ar ranging for a suitable place in which the Farmers Institute may be held, and arousing an interest therein among the , people with a view of securing as large an attendance as possible on Saturday, February 6th, the day named. Profes sors White and Hunnicutt, stand in the front rank as scientific and practical ag riculturists, and the farmers of Wnre and surrounding counties should not miss the opportunity of being benefitted by the Drowsed Institute in to. at-, tend. It will afford mC pleasure to aid in any possible wav toward making the occasion a success. J. L. Sweat. PROFESSIONAL CARDS. HITCH & MYERS*” *' ATTORNEYS AT LAW, 1’P Stair. Wilson'. Rlock. WAYCROSS.

Did you ever notice that about all you remember of a sermon is the illustrations ? I remember hearing a preacher tell a story illustrative of the treachery of satan, and though I was only a child it b vivid in my memory Illustrations are to the average exhibits for Georgia's display. If we have the co-operation of the people of the State, Georgia will be successfully advertised to the world. If the people are indifferent, the whole scheme will fail, and our State will lose the leadership of the South in progress and enterprise. Under the direction of the executive committee, I was instructed, as its chairman, to ask the earnest, active aid of all the people of the State in this worthy effort.

He described the scenes on board, told what the people said, how they acted and at last sunk the ship and drowned everybody on board.

He said: “Parson, may I ask you a question this morning? ” “Cer tainly,” said the preacher. “Then, if everybody on that ship yon sunk last night was drowned, how did you find out what was said and done?” The preacher was speechless. “Parson, you could not believe such testimony as that in a court and I did not believe it in church.” Le* your illustrations be true.

Any locality, county or section, or, indeed, any special industry can make its special display as a part of the aggregate whole for the State and reap the benefit of the adver tisement of its special wares, products and advantages. The scope of this exhibit will not be confined, therefore, to material dbplav, bat extended to descriptive circulars and such personal presentations as may give to the people outside of the State a full and satisfactory knowledge of our peo ple, products and possibilities. The committee intends the disply to repre sent Georgia in miniature, embracing eTery feature that makes the wealth of State and the content of the people. A creditable dbplay cannot be se cured, transported to Chieago, installed in its place and properly cared for dur ing the exposition without a liberal ex penditure of funds. The Secretary of the executive com- mittte has been instructed to furnish to the treasurer of each county board the amount necessary, in the opinion of the committee, for each county to contrib ute to the dbplay, in order to raise One Hundred Thousand Dollars as a as a general fund. With proper diligence and under Savannah, Ga., Jan. 22, 1«91. Col. J. L. Sweat: Professor* White and Hunnicutt of the University of Georgia, propose to hold a Farmers’ In stitute in your city an the 6th day of February next. They have been in communication with me in reference to this matter. I beg of you to give public ity to it, through your local press, and and to let your farmer friends through out your section learn of it, in any way you can. Any other assistance you give them in carrying out their ideas will be greatly appreciated by your friend, G. M. Ryals. [The above correspondence is self ex planatory, and our citizens and farmers should adopt the suggestion of Col. Sweat and organize for the reception of these distingubhed gentlemen.—Ed.] THE TRANS-SAHARA RAILWAY.' The Great Sea of Sand to be Bridged. One of the most important works of civilization now in progress b the build ing by the French of the Trans-Sahara railroad. It starts from El Guerrah on the northern slope of the Atlas moun tains and striking straight to the south, aims to find a terminus in the neighbor hood of lake Chad. The total length of the line when completed will be over 2,000 miles. Already something like 250 miles of track have been laid down and trains running regularly to the beautiful oasb of Biscara where abundance of water and 150,000 plam trees furnish the means of subsbtence for a considrable population. The results have been most gratifying. They include the enforce ment of order among the wild tribes of the desert, tbe development of trade, and other such things. A great many tourists now go to Biscara,which may be reached with as much safety as any Europrean watering places. The great enterprise b only fairly begun, and it will be many yean before it b completed. In over coming the natural obstacles the French will find it necessary to sink artesian welb at regular intervals, # and to plant groves of palm and eucalyptus trees. Besides thb the native Tuaricks are an exceedingly fierce and intractable people, They are bigoted Mohammedans; and resent the presence of a foreign force unwarranted intrusion. The French will be compelled to work and fight at the same time. But sooner or later they will finish their task and receive due praise from the whole world.—Christian Advo cate. D R. P. C.
