' INTERESTING POLITICAL NEWS FROM 1 THERE, | Caucus About Georgia Matters--Smith and Livingston--Cleveland for Crisp- Buck . Resigns. A special from Washington says that Wednesday was a day of political events there so far as Georgia matters are cor= cerned. At a conference held at the interior department the whole field of local poli tics in Georgia was carefully canvassed by Secretary Smith, Assistant Attorney- General Halland Representative Moses. Much work was laid out, and some im portant appointments were agreed upon. A fit successor was for Marshal Buck was one of the subjects, and the merits of a number of men were talked about. Ex-Representative Mobley, of Harris; Sam Dunlap, of Gainesville, and County Judge William M. Weaver, of Greene, were among those whose names were dis cussed,for all three of these are pronounc ed candidates for the office,now that Mr, Cleveland has said that neither Renfroe nor Dismuke is acceptable to him. Judge Lawson arrived yesterday, and, while he did not appear at this meeting, he remarked tonight that one object of his visit was to press Judge Weaver for the vacancy about to be created. SMITH AND LIVINGSTON. Another subject was the strained re lations existing just now between Sec retary Hoke Smith and Tolonel Living ston. It is understood that the Secretary ex presses his willingness to further in terfere with or suggest appointmeuts in the Fith district, but this concession did not satisfy Col. Livingston and he is not willing to make peace until the Conyers appointment is cancelled and he is al lowed to name a postmaster for that of fice. Of course this sort of treaty did not go down with the Secretary and the ¢ nference adjourned finally without having found the necessary balm to pour upon thisincipient war. WHO IS HE? Other matters of an important nature were talked about, and soon after these lugh digunitaries parted one of them sent a telegraphic message to a distinguished young Georgian, which may bring him at once to Washington and send him.on an important mission. If he does come and does accept, a veadjustment in the Georgia political field will at once oc cur. Butfor a devout pledge to secrecy the name of this lucky gentleman would be cheerfully furnished. CLEVELAND FOR CRISP. Besides these hippenings in the De partment of the Interior, another equal ly important adjustment has been ef fected in another direction. It is no less a matter than the securing of the pres ident’s consent to aid Mr. Crisp in his coming race for the Speakership. This explains the rather sudden and surpris ing affinity between Secretary Hoke Smith and the ex-Speaker. Mr. Crisp needed a friend at court. The Pres ident’s influence was necessary for his success, and he felt that no minor mat ters should stand in his way to secure it. It may be then that MryqCrisp will have ‘the influence of the administration in ; his race for the House gavel, and that ‘this same influence will be felt in the or } ganization of committees of that august | body. P " : Negro Picnic. " The Sunday school connected with the ‘charge of the Rev. J. W. Walker had a picnic at Hardmoney park on last Fri ‘day. ‘ They had a pleasant time and en joyed the abundance of dainties spread before them. The best of order pre vailed and each one seemed as happy as could be. Their Work in Dem#nd. The Dawson Variety Works are under contracts to the value of $20,000, to build a number of residences vutside of Dawson. Dawson is a large factor in building up many of the towns around her. Closing Exercises. The exercises at Prof. C. A. Bell's school, at the Planter’s Academy, on last Friday, were enjoyed in a marked degree by many who were present. The pupils, by ready answers to questions propound ed, attested the industry with which they had pursued their studies, and the suc cess enjoyed in having had their teacher impart thorough instruction. All of the pupils acquitted themselves Wwith soo much credit that to mention either with out including all of them would seem partiality indeed. Everybody.went away gratified. At noon a bountiful dinner was served on a long table, e L ' HOKE SMITH’'S DUEL, He Expcted One With Howell, But The 5 Challenge Never Came, A Washington special says that on his last visit to Atlanta, Hoke Smith, Sec retary of the Inteiior, came within an ace of fighting a duel with Col. Evan Parke Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution. The trouble between Mr. Smith and Col. Howell began when Mr. Smith bought the Atlanta Journal and devel oped the paper intoa very successful rival of the Constitution. Howell, who is old enough to be Smith’s father, re sented the prominence so rapidly gained by Mr. Smith in journalism and in pol ities. During the last campaign, prior to the Chicago convention, Mr. Smith supported Mr. Cleveland for the nomina tion, while Col. Howell advocated Sen ator Hill. When Cleveland got the riom ination, Col. Howell did not feel kindiy ‘toward Mr. Smith and when Mr. Cleve land was elected the Journal made some ;hard raps at th: Constitution. Colonel iHowell’s cup of chagrin and bitterness was filled to overflowing when Mr. Smith was appointed Secretary. All kinds of petty digs and slaps were made by the Consiitution at Mr. Smith, but because of his official positicn, Mr.’ Smith did not reply. The raps at the Secretary became incessant and every is sue of the paper contained something which made Mr. Smith fret and fume with silent rage. At last they became unbearable. On his lasr visit to Atlanta, prior to his coming to New Yoik, to at tend the naval celebration with the pres ident, the Constitution let loose some thing particularty unpleasant. The Journal leplied, “You lie.”” Mr. Smith expected a challenge, and during the in terval he consulted « number of his per sonal friends in Atlanta and decided that in view of the certainty that he would have to fight, he would resign as a member of the First Presbyterian church of Atlanta, to which he belonged. One of the leading officials of the ehurch heard of the matter and called upon Smith saying: “Even if you fight, it is not necessary for you to resign from the church. Colonel Howell "has attacked you time an again. Your action is justi fiable, and you have the sympathy of all the churech members.”’ The church man who said this was an ex-Confederate officer. But the challenge never came,althaugh Col. Howell’s antagonism Lo his success ful rival is still bitter and an outbreak may occur at any time. About People. —Among the prominent lawyers in at tendance jupon court are Colonels C. B. Wooten and J. W. Waiters of Albany, W. C. Worrill of Cuthbert, G. W. War wick of Smithville, J. B. Hudson of Preston, and stesographer J. F. Bussey. —County Commissioner A. J.Lee was in the city Thuisday. He reports every thing serene around Parrott, and is proud of the new court house in which he was an important factor in its con struction. —Prof. E. J. Cheek closed his music schoor at Benevolence last Thursday. We learn that the exercises were very interesting. Prof. Cheek is 2 splendid teacher and the people are delighted with him. . —The serious #lness of his wife pre vented Dr. Patterson from filling his pul pit Sunday night. Mrs. Patterson’y friends will be glad to know that she is improving. —Mr. Charles Deubler was in Mad ison last week representing the local Lodge of the Royal Arcanum in the state convention. —Will Roberts is with S. Alesker again, e Mr. Bivins Is Correot. Mr. J. E. Bivins, of Americns, a prom inent business man of that city, and one who has done much for the town in which he lives, said, a few days ago: “I, with man others, consider Terrell coun ty one of the best counties in the state and Dawson one of the most solid towns of this section.” A TRe Lsl The Dawson Boys Winners.

A Perfect Day, A Large Congregsation and Fine Music--An Able Sermon by the Pastor. The first services were held in the new Methodist church last Sunday, and the day will long be remembered by the Methodists of Dawson and othews who attended the services. . The day was a perfect on? in its bright May sunshine, and the melody of the services rang out sweetly upon the quiet air of the Sabbath morning. The congregation was a large one. No services were held in the other churches, but all denominations gatlered at the new church to mingle with the regular worshippers of that denomination their voices in prayer and praise. The pastor, Rev: E. M. Whiting, was assisted in the services by Rev. J. R. Hankins, a young Baptist divine, who opened with a felicitous prayer. But that which gave the greatest pleasure to the morning service was the sermon by the pastor. It was one of the very best he has ever delivered here. 1t was full of practical religious thoughts and was listened to with much interest by the congregation. His subject was “The Ark,” and the necessity of keep ing it in the church, so that God’s man -Ifestations might abide with as forever. For “The Ark” to be removed would en tail spiritual evils upon ‘the church, and for a church to have the swest spirit of Christ ever abiding in it would insure a usefulness commensurate with the earnest efforts of all its members to do their duty with an eye single to God’s glory. He felicitously held up the old Bible as the guide of our lives, now the only ark to keep in the e¢hurzh, to coun sel and to guide in all thinss that per tainto a high elevation of christian character in and outside the walls of a church.” The sermon was full of pathos, as the preacher endeavored earnestly to impress upon his congregation the neces ity of taking the religion of Jesus Christ with them all through life, and the necessity of the members of a church ever being filled with the spirit of Christ. The singing, to a greav extent, was congregational, under the leadership of Mrs. T. J. Simmons, who presided at the organ, All in the congregation who could sing did so, and as the final hymn, “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name,” was taken up by the vast throng that filled the new church a deep spiritual enthusiam seemed to pervade all hearts. The choir, in the selection of hymus, showed most excellent judgment, as many of them were old time ‘hymns that once thrilled the hearts of our fathers and mothers. The solos rendered were moduis of great beauty and touched all hearts in theiv spiritual conception. Swindling Trusts! 3 The experience of the last few months has shown what gigantic frauds the great trusts ave.

Mr. Harden Keel, of Calhoun county, was a visitor to Dawson Saturday. About fifteen minutes after reaching the city Mr. Keei returned to his bugzy for some purpose and found that some one had exchanged an old and worthless wheel for one of the good wheels of his buggy. The fellow who made the ex change is still unknown. Stealing 2 Ride. L On last Saturday, the day of the ne gro excursion, a number of little boys undertook to steal a ride, and remained undiscovered until Parrott was reached, where they were put offjthe train.

Manner in Which Chey Are Falling. Every South Georgian will endorse every word Congressman Ben Russell says about the distribution of Georgia's sbare of the patronage. This section of the state has been iga nored too long already, and Tue News hopes that the c¢ongressman from the second will succeed in oringing about a. change. . In the last issue of his Bainbridge Democrat, Cengressman Russell says: “Any casual reader oi the Washingtom dispatches will observe that Georgia ap pears to be getting her share of governmet patronage—‘‘plums’’ so to speak. The casual reader will also note that there ap pears to be only onesection of the Empire State of the South upon which these. “plums” are allowed to fall—viz: the northern section. “All the foreign appointments—minis terial and consular—have been given to. North Georgians. All of the department places, with one two trifling exceptions, have tallen into the bands of those who are fortunate enough to live in the north ern portion of the state. Is it because those who inhabit that section are more capaple and better democrats than their less lucky neighbors of the southerm. section? ~ “Northern Georgia has had the gov ernor from time immemorial, It has the U. S. Senators; it is represented on the Interstate Railway Commission; it has. two-thirds of the state railroad commis siou; it has the speaker of the state house of representatives and the presi ‘dent of the state senate. In fine, North ‘Geougi:» geus the lion’s share of every thing going in the shape of official recog-. \»nilion. Is it fair? Never—for when the political battle begins, and the antago ‘nistic parties draw the lines of battle, South Georgia is always first in the dem ocratic ranks. In the campaign of last year—-the most memorable known in the ‘history of politics in this state, it was South Georgia who put third partyism and ' republicanism to flight, when the balance of the state hud almost surrendered to the noisy mob. that claimed 100,000 oath bound voters, “1t was not in the tenth district that the ficht was made that stimulated dem ceracy to gain the glorious victory of last November; it was in the second and in the eleventh congressicnal districts where the gauge of battle was first laid down and the enemies of democracy put to flight. Yet, when there are honors to. wear and emolumeunts to receive the gal lant democrats of south Georgia are left out in the cold! Will our long-neglected section sub mit to this unfairness forever? Tlere is a governor to elect next year;a U, S. senator to eheose. Isil mot abouttime the tide of official recognition was turn-. ing southwara? ¢ e ek : i Current Items.
