“A TIME TO DANCE”
WAS THE SUBJECT OF REV. E. M. WHI
: TING’S DISCOURSE
At the Methodist Church Last ‘Sunday
Morning--A Large Congregation and
3 an Earnest Sermon.
For some time past a uumber of the
younger members of the Methodist
church in Dawson have been taking danc
ing lessons and attending balls,
A week ago last Sunday the pastor,
Rev. E. M. Whiting, announced from his
pulpit that he specially desired a large
attendance of his membership the follow
ing Sunday. ‘
Those who heard the request antici
pated the subject of the pastor’s sermon,
and when he announced his text last
Sunday morning from Eeel, 3,4: “There
is a time to dance,” the congregation be
came interested at once, and remained
deeply so throughout the delivery of one
of the most earnest sermons ever heard
in Dawson.
The pastor must have felt gratified a
the large cengregation that gathered t°
hear Lim, and whatever may have beclf
the judgment of the audience as to th®
merits of the sermon, there could have
been no doubt as to the sinecerity of the
preacher,
He was antagonizing a very popular
amusement, but he reasoned conclusive
ly as to its evil tendency, and as to the
attitude of the church towards it,
He said he admitted that there
was ““a time to dance,” yet many con
demned the practice. Who did so? He
quoted aurhorsties to show that eminent
teachers before Christ censured it—such
as Plato, Aristottle, Cicero. Also many
early Christian writers, and Archbishops
and Councils of the Roman Catholic
church. He also claimed, and quoted
authorities to prove, that all the Protes
tant churches agreed on censuring the
dance, while they differed on other
things. The Bible did not condemn it
in particular, but n general, as it called
to holiness of life and to nonconformity
to the world.
~ In answer to the next inquiry as to
‘why these condemned the dance, he said
they were all agred that it was immoral,
anG only evil in its tendency. Expos
ure to heated roowms, the ball dress, the
troubles in families growing out of it,
the evil associations of it, the violations
of most sacred obligations, and ugly
scandals that often come out of it, were
all urged as objections to it, Apologies
’for it were answered, and some *'signifi
cant facts” were given, which were cer
‘tainly significant and forcible enough to
largely disarm the prejudice of the hear
er against the preacher and his cause.
He closed with an appeal to the men
bers of the church to abstain forever
from such a practice, and thus spare the
church the reproach of friendship with
it, and to save themselves from the scan
dal of expulsion for it.
During lLis remarks the preacher re
ferred to social card playing as having a
tendency towards making gambling re
spectable. While money was not played
for, prizes and boobies were.
The solo of Mrs. T. J. Simmons,
‘*‘Ashamed of Jeaus,” was most singu
larly appropriate and beautiful, and was
a pathetic conclusion to an impressive
service,

WHIDDEN WAS ACQUITTED.
A Demonstration‘“’hen the Verdict Was
Announced.
Saturday night a telegram was receiv
ed in Dawson announcing that John
Whidden, the young Alabamian who
was taken from the Terrell county jail
last Tuesday and carried to Fort Gaines
to be tried upon the charge of accessory
to the murder of Joel Holmes, had been
acquitted. The jury was out about half
an hour.
The bullet that was taken from
Holme’s head when his body was ex
humed proved to be a 38, and fit the pis
tols of both the defendant and Mx, Alex
ander, who was in the difficulty as the
friend of Holmes. The theory of the pros
ecution was that Napier, principal in the
murder, and now a fugitive, fi:el the
fatal ball, while that of the defense was
that Alexander did it.
THE NEWs learns that there was some
demonstration when the verdict was an
nounced.
The motion for a new trial for young
Osborn, who is conneected with the same
case, will be heard at Early court next
week by Judge Guerry.

The schodule on the Columbus South
ern road was entirely suspended Satnr
day because of a 4 wreek which had oc
curred at Upatoie bridge. Just after the
engine pulling a freight train had passed
overa high embankment, near the bridge,
a landslide occurred which precipitated
} three of the cars down the slope and
threw several others off the track, By
this accident the Columbus Southern
track was complely blocked.
In Memoriam.
Epiror NEws: Dawson® feels severely
the loss of Judge J. C. F. Clark, who, in
his noble manhood, entwined himself in
the affections of us all. Loved as but
few men have been loved, the rich fra
grance of his memory will long remain
with us, Unselfish to a fault, he was
true to all, without distinction to race or
color. Generous, he suffered that others
might be benefitted. Integrity was a
cardinal virtue in his character. He was
a beautiful link that connected the past
with the preseut, and no one loved more
than he to talk of the earlier days when
boyhood was bright to him in rich re
sults. The young admired and loved
him for his words of wisdom and loving
remembrance, From early youth he was
connected with the Baptist church, and
his walk and conversation was an exam
ple to others, An old soldier, a veteran
of tl'e Indian wars of half a century ago,
hie loved his flag and country. For thir
ty years clerk of the superior court of
Terrell county, hie knew his duty and did
it well. Faithful in all public duties, he
had the confidence of every one. At the
time of his death he was over eighty
one years of age. On the day of his
burial business of all kinds was sus
pended in our city, and he was laid to
rest by his Masonic brethren, who loved
him well, ONE Wno Lovep Hiw.

Doesn’t Want to Be a Law-malker.
- Tue NEws mentioned the name of
‘Hon. S. R. Christie, last week, as a pos
sible legislative candidate. Mr. Christie
admits that he has been approached on
the subject, but says positively that he
has entertained no serious idea of mak
ing the race. Mr. Christie is one of the
very safest and most conservative citizens
in the county, and his friends were at a
loss to know why as good a man as he 1s
should want to go to the Georgia legisla
ture. Itisa great privilage notto be
compelled to be ®a member of that body.
In making its humblest apology to Mr.
Christie TuHE NEws assures him of its
most distinguished considerations.
Mr. W. R. Baldwin also declines to be
a candidate for tax collector.

Since their attempt to burn the jail
Sheriff Christie has put Jesse Ward and
Henderson Moove in chains. The sherift
found a key in the possession of Ward
that had been made by that prisoner,and
he also thinks that Moore has a knife,
but a careful search failea to find it,
Moore isa very obstreperous prisoner,
and when accused by Sheriff Christie of
having a knife he he replied that it was
a good thing he did not have one, for if
he did one or the other of them would
be dead in a very little while,

REDUCED RATES
On Freight Now Seem Very Probable for
Dawson.
Last Thursday the transportation com
mittee of the Dawson Board of Trade,
composed of Messrs. B. H. Hood, R. L.
Melton and W, A. McLain, went up to
Atlanty and appeared before the inter
state railroad commission Friday to urge
cheaper rates for Dawson.
The committee returned Saturday, and
Monday night a special meeting of the
Board of Trade was held to hear from
them. .
The inter-state commissioners heard
the complaints, and promised to render
a decision within thirty days.
The committee seem greatly encour
aged and are cenfident that Dawsom will
be made a rating point, and given the
transportation rates that her growing
commercial interests demand—rates that
will put her in a position to compete with
any of her neighboring rivals,
Cheaper freight rates is now the
watchword in Dawson, and will be so
until they are s:cured.

When Charlemagne and his * Knights of
the Round Table ” were making war on the
Baracens, in Africa, it frequently hap;l)lened
that Knights on either side would fight in
single combat for the honor of their re
spective armies. The Saracens had been
for many years, the scourge-—the dreaded
invaders—of Europe, and all waged war
against this common enemy.
But in these days the worst scourge that
threatens us, is that dread invader, Con
sumption.
Consumpfion fastens its hold upon its vie
tims while they are unconscious of its ap
proach. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery has cured thousands of cases of this
most fatal of meladies. But it must be
taken before the discase is too far u&v%nced
in order to be effective, If taken ime,
and given a fair trial. it will cure, or money
paid for it wiil be refunded.
For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Short
ness of breath, %ronchitis, Asthma, severe
Coughs, and kindred affections, it is an une
Yualed remedy.
For all diseases that arise from a torpid
liver and impure hbloed, nothing can take the
place of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov
ery. Nothing will, after you have seen what
it does: It prevents amsl cures by removing
the cause. It invigorates the liver, purifies
the blood, sharpens the apnetite improves
digestion, and builds up both strength and
flesh, when reduced Lelow the standard of
bealth.
