ANOTHER REVIEW OF POLITICS What’s the Matter With the Pot That It Hasn’t Yet Begun to Boil ? PLENTY OF CANDIDATES OM HAND And lb* f’ot laOrlAlnly Fall Enough for til* Fir* to Be Started. Kow 1 hut County Election Times Are leoomlng Into View. It la a little surprising to the man who la In terested in and keeps a close watch on pj.ltica and polltlclana that thlnga are not beginning to get warmer in the sphere of local polltica respecting the legislative candidates who have dared to show their heads Inside the OJurse where tho race Is soon to be putled off. But then the hot July weather, no doubt, has a great deal to’ do with tt, though the candidates should consider that ths summer is half guns and fall la approaching rapidly to catch them unannounced. The fact Is there does not seem to be the Interest now that was noted two months ago, and uif.ess somebody gets a stir' on themselves, and 'that pretty soon, somdbody Is go ing to get left In -this race, s This la obliged to be the oaae. though where there are *o many candidates, although, strange as tt may seem, the list of entries in the legislative tilt (a decreasing rather than growing. A number of gentlemen, It la understood, who contemplated seriously announc ing a month ago have abamtoned the ambition to serve Btbb cunty In the general assembly, and have done what a good many others will have to do sooner or later-gone back to their work. Sir. Hugh V. Washington, who is flat-footed in the race for representa tive. is the only one who has so far made a formal announcement. The others seem undecided ahout what they they will do. while In many cases this indeclsloif has come to tihe end of driv ing aspirants back In their holes. Mr. Washington says he wants the people to know he is in the race and believes In being ,in time. He has set out to wake somebody up and Is bending ev ery energy to win. The latest authentic bulletin gives the names of Che following gentlemen as those who are understood to hsve entered the light as atarters. though only one of them has openly an nounced; (Messrs. Hugh Washington. J.-'hn T. Botfeulllet, Hope Polhlll. Joe HCII, Jeff Ware and’ Sfarlon Harris. A friend of Capt. W. A. Davis said yesterday 'that 'he would positively not be In tho race. This will be a surprise to many-of the captain's friends, how ever, for 1t certainly has been under stood by a great many that he would make the race. Mr. W. B. Birch Is quoted ns having said he would not run. Mr. Morris Happ's friends are after him warmly to come out. and it Is not definitely certain yet that he will not. Ool. Nat Harris and Hon. Bob Hodges are going to have an Interest ing time of It In their senatorial race. Both gentlemen will stick In the race out to the end. But It remains for the ooronorshlp to furnish the most Interesting of all the contests this year. Up to last nlgljt there were somewhere about thirty candidates for this place and every one os confident of winning as tf there were no opposition. It Is very prtfcable that tlwre will be a People's party candidate put out soon for the ooronor shlp. which will run the list up one notch higher, that's all. HIBERNIANS HAVE RETURNED.

B. SMALL. DR. ROMIG AT THE TABERNACLE The Chtistian Evangelist Preached a Sermon on Missions Yesterday With Telling Effect. AND ON TEMPERANCE AT .NIGHT Dr* flomlB Mat!* tb» lint Daring Ilia BllnUiry Hero on This Theme—DUclplee of CbrUt Mutt llmre More Rooms • Yesterday waa a red letter day at the tabernacle. All people were de lighted witfi every service.’ Tbo Chris tian church has every reason to congrat ulate Itself t>n securing able ond worthy evangritets as Romig and Dawdy. The Sunday sohool In the i»iorning won well attended, and children and grown people alike were deeply Inter ested and much impressed by the ex ercises. At 11 o'clock the evangelist preached a eoul-fftirring sermon on missions and on giving financial suppbrt to the cause of Christ. The best Sunday audience of the meeting was present, and many ex pressed themselves as highly delighted and greatly benefttted by tlie evangel ists’ -thoughts and convinolng -words of the evangelist who labors without a salary and depends on the ottering of thbse who hear Ibr nU support. At last night’s aervlce 'die tabernacle was crowded. One thousand two hun dred people heard an able and eloquent sermon to young men. Tlhis was, In reaUfty, a temperance sermon. The preacher held the attention* of every one in the house l’or fully one hour, while maijy ttt the windows listened throughout. TWe sermon was pro nounced by tho»e who have heard oth ers and who. 'therefore, are in p’osltloa to know, to be -the very best sermon on temperance ever delivered In the t etty of Macon. It Is impossible to give a complete outline bf this sermon. We give Just a few of the most prominent features: He said, after having introduced his subject, there Were two ladders In this world upon one of which we were all traveling. These ladders wore made by the Apostle Paul. One of them led downward to hell, tho other led upward to heaven. The first round In the down ward ladder was adultery, the last was drunkenness. Jim before entering hell Paul placed drunkenness Just over hell and this wa* right. For, said the even- gelist, there Is nothing a drunk man will not do. would be guilty of every one of the crimes that Paul mentioned before naming drunkenness. Drink was responsible for 75 per cenit. of the crimes committed In our land. Six million American* became drunkards every year. Seventy-two thousand Americans die drunkards yearly. Ho said that drink hindered a young man commercially, for no reliable hou*»e would employ a man who would drink. It Injured him socially, lbr no respecta ble parents wanted tiholr daughters to associate with drinking men. it Injured them morally and spiritually, and made them beasts. Each bf tlie above points was illustrated with pointed and most •telling Illustration* culled from the speakers own large and varied experi ence. The moderate drinking today was the drunkard of tomorrow. You wouldn’t become a drunkard, ybu wouldn’t mis treat your family. Nb you wouldn’t, but when you are drunk you are not yourself. The liquor excites your ani mal passions, destroys your judgment, your self control, and leaves a raging beast to do you know not what. Then followed a number of llluetrn- tlon.s, each bringing some new phase of the woe that lurks In the intoxicating cup. He would rather see his own daughter In her coffin than that she woul wed a drinking man. He made an earnest plea to men to fight this -traffic, and called upon the unconverted to take Jesus as their part ner. fight this instrument of eatan. live pure and holy lives and be saved. In the beginning of last night’s serv ice Profeseor Dowdy *ang his moot ex cellent solo, entitled. “Shivering in the Gold.” At the close of the itannon he sang one devoted tb whisky and the ruin It causes. Both of these were well sung, and will not coon be forgot ten by these who heard them. Dur ing the invitation he sang most feeling ly “Almost Pe»HHaded.’’ The singing of the chorus last night was especially fine and called forth many favaraJble comments. At the close # of -the* service four young people came to unite with the church and lead the Christian life. All In all this wws the most delightful serv ice of the meetings. The Christian church ho* been eo greatly stengthenod by these meetings that the church on Walnut street U no longer large enough to aocbmmodate tiheot* A committee has already been appointed looking to the purchasing of a oultable tot upon wMch the church hopes to erect ere the year clbses. a large am* vutf»modk>us church edifice that will 3>e an honor to the city, and s.
