Port Valley, Oct. 7.— (Sfaeoial.)—
;uJge Crlep came sip on-the train from
Amertcua yesterday Afternoon and nd-
a.-ericd the citizen* of Houston. He
ms Introduced by Judge A. S. Giles
in a moat pleasant manner. The Judge
e luded to Speaker Crisp us second In
Lfflce and Influence to the president
himself. "Tine South," Judge Giles
raid, "was the birthplace and home of
true Democracy, and Judge Crisp nag
tie exponent of true Southern prin
ciples-"
Judge Crisp spoke to his audience
from the pOrtloo ot the Harris house.
Tae ladles of Fort Valley were out to
bear him. Judge Crisp said no repre-
leniutive from any state was ever
treated tv-la snore kindness and cor
diality than had been accorded him
t>» his constituency, and there was a
liatitaition in the power of words to
express his feeling* ot appreciation for
,uch ltlr.dr.ee: «r.d re“«r<4. He eild he
ranted 'to deal frankly and sincerely
sith his people, aul -all had a right
u Ms views uoon any public question.
V.'.Ktt we call polltfcs, the judge said.
It a matter that Interests all. This
country Is governed by parties. It Is
[this way we give effect to any policy
Islt to advance. Every citizen
[should feel the responsibility that
rests upon him. Gaud laws do not come
by ncgleatii-ng politics. Duty requires
cf each voter to help make good laws,
uni no one should Pall to participate
in elections. To do so la to neglect
duty.

amid embarasslng surroundings.
A panic was upon the country, I'aaa.-
duced by Repifblioan legislation, and
the majority In the aenaite was so
mill tout the Democratic -had to be
s-Mied to accomplish anything. Con-
fllence had been destroyed by the
panic and money was being hoarded
tad the condition of thing* were con
fusing. But the party wanted to af
ford relief. The party wanted sound
mosey and enough of ft tor all pur
poses of trade and commerce. The

spalnst silver because the matter has
tot yet been adjusted. The party will
yet settle the silver question In the
iT.ereat of the masses. It took time
to achieve tariff reform, It will take time
to settle the sliver question.
The judge took up the tariff ques-
tioa ami showed Iww tariff affected
toe whole people. He was very h-vppy
In his lllustraitlons. He favored Ut*
tamme tax. Those who have most to
protect should bo willing to benr
heavier burdens. Two Populist sena
tors, Peffer and Blow art, voted against
income tax, yet claim they sre lighting
the money power. Hu traced the third

came there the yesr s/ter the grass-

In one year than the grasshopper* did

troduced by the Populists, and showed
tinat the world did not contain money
♦cough to carry out the vagaries of
those bills.
Jiilge Crisp complimented Houetnn

county of the district. He appealed to
tne people to preserve their unity and
Ik nothing divide them. He requested

GEORGE BRAXTON
IAYLOH RESIGNED
The Pastor of the First Baptist Church
Tendered His Resignation to
the Church Yesterday,
OPPOSITION TO HIS PASTORATF.
Wn* (he Cam* or m> Withdrawal—
Did Kot Think lie \Ym a Good
Cnuugli Pieacbei—Succetcor
Kot Yet Thought Of.
Rev. George Braxton Taylor, D. D.,
hOB resigned the pastorate of the First
Baptist church and the resignation lias
been accepted.
( This announcement will come to toe
public like a clap of thunder from a
dear sky. it was not lets* a surprise
to many of the members of Dr. Tay
lor 1 • congregation when the fact was
announced In church meeting yester
day morning.
The action of the pastor could be
nooountdd for by some, who have been
for some thne ahvnre of opposition
among a certain element of the church,
but the majority of toe congregation
were riot at all prepared for the start
ling communication wlhdh was read
by Clerk \V. B. Daniel at a business
session held Immediately after the
morning service.
Mr. B. 'M. Zebtler was called to the
ohalr after It bad been announced
that matter: of importance would oome
up for tlhetr consideration. There were
only about one-tourtb of the members
who knew what ithe thing of special
moment would be until after the meet
ing bad been called to order. Mr.
Daniel read a short communication
from -tflie pastor, itendorlng his uncon
ditional resignation. The letter malted
In a very few .word* the cause ot tne
author's notion, nnd that was that It
bad come to his atitoniUon within the
list few days that there was opposition
to his pastotkte, and that it not being
Ms desire to preside over a charge in
which there mere any dlsaffeoted fol
lowers, be withdrew in the interest of
harmony and the welfare and prosper
ity of the church. Dr. Taylor expresses
the highest feeling of Christian love
for every member of ithe church. He
said thin the opposition of certain
members dfd not change bts feeling
toward them If Ubey were not satisfied
with him as pastor, it was theirs to
say so.
•A motion was made to accept the
resignation, but It got no second. Then
followed considerable discussion among
the opposing elements, though the
meeting nnd everything said wus en
tirely harmonious, not the least Ill-
feeling being exhibited on the pant of
anybody. Among those wtho spoke
were Dr. K. P. Moore. E. Y. Mallary
and Osgood Willingham against ac
cepting the resignation, and W. B.
Chapman and Morrell Callaway for
accepting. The latter two led the op
position to the pastor, arid the other
gentlemen were among his most ac
tive supporters.
r.ac conclusion finally arrived at by
Sr. T-iyisr*s irlssi; •»•«. |«nfi«tn» hi*
mind to be fully flxed on insisting upbn
the resignation, that It would be sub
serving Ills Interests to Vote for Its
acceptance, which, after the previous
motion had berm recalled, was done by
both hla friends and opponent*.
The basis of the opposition which,
when It first reached his ears, deter
mined Mr. Taylor to resign, seems to
have been that the pastor's preaching
did not suit a portion of toe members
of his congregation. It is nuthortm-
ttvely learned from n member of toe
churuh that this disaffected element
comprises a comparatively small per
cent, of Its members, who. while they
express the highest regard for their
pastor as a Christian man arid an
earnest worker, nre not pleased w)_h
his style of preaching. Ill* pulpit ad
dress. they say. to not w*»at they
■want. This to positively the only
rround upon TVhtoh >lho disaffection is
based. It is a dissatisfaction which
to likely to be found In every church,
the only difference between this arid
other cases being tout here the pastor,
upon finding out that he couM not
please all of his people, determined to
wl'hdrnw. There to possibly no con
gregation ns large os shat of the Fm.
Rip-1st church where every member
bears the same feeling of reganl Cor
the pastor. There ore always to be
found a few disaffected member*. In
the case above, however, those of the
opposition were probably more active
tfr*n is imihI.
Bo far as the Church as an entity to
concerned, the release of Dr. Taylor
was wot agreed to withe", deep eegret.
HI* very delicate position, however,
brought about by Ms opposing mem
bers. determined hla mind beyond re
consideration upon the only couraetbal:
bo sag was open Po him w a conscien
tious pastor. __
Dr. Taylor's leaving will not exu-e
any wrangling among the members or
Ill-feeling between hto friend' nnd
those who Instigat'd the opposition to
him. Everything Is entirely harmo
nious and the ehureh will Immediately

Abbott of MUIedgevUte, Oa., well
known in Macon, wihere her Bister
Mrs. W. H. Cornell, lives, having
frequently apppeared here, baa been
the sensation in New York for ten
Hays past. "*
She will be readily recalled as toe
frnR IRHe lady who appeared at the
Academy of Music about eight months
ago amd performed what were regard
ed as wonderful ftraits. Her trick! were
very similar to those of the famous
Lula Hurst. She explained that she
was possessor of a peculiar force, Che
nature of which she herself could not
explain, but which was very powerful.
Her claims to such power were seem
ingly well supported by her perform
ances.
(She proved herself entirely lride-
pendent ot the laws of gravitation, arid
resisted the strength of a dozen giant
She went to New York quite recently
and has set toe metropolis wild. Her
performance attracted the attention of
learned scientists, who could not ex
plain the wonderful magnetism she
seemed to possess, and nil Gotf/im
was puzzled. The papers had column
after column telling of What She dhJ,
nl> highly embellished with pictures.
But It seems that revelations made
by Nellie Bly, toe famous nempjper
woman, have explained the sensation
'that Mrs. Abbott has caused. At least
Nellie claims that she has the .secret,
and in a five-column article she pre
tends tto tell witat ahe has found
out. She thinks with the knowledge
which she has gained by closely
waltdhing Mra. 'Abbott tlhat she Is as
muoh of a magnet as Mrs. Abbott.
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Abbott
gave a private performance to the re
porters and editors of Che World, at
■ the "World office. 8he did several of
ber tricks successfully, and the entire
aoM'lenoe, with the exception of Nellie
Bly. whs stricken with wonder and
amazement. Miss Bly was skeptical
nnd began experimenting at once, with
the result, she say*, of eclipsing Mra.
Abbott. One of Mrs. Abbott'.* feats
wn* to put her hand-* on n email boy,
thus making him so heavy 'that no
dozen min could lift him. Miss Bly
tells how she did the same trick In
this way:
"So, upm the carpet I placed them,
in position, the editor's hand under
the hoy's arm. the boy’s left band on
the editor’s, 'hto right on the editor’
neck. Then I *:.tM at the boy's back
a:M placet my left hand on his wrist,
my right beneath hto e*it and flat
blades.
" 'Now lift!* I said, and my heart
stood still.
"Lift? Well, he tried It. but the boy
could not he budged. The reporter tried
*t. but sMIl toe boy could not be
lifted.
" 'How did you do ltd* they asked
In wonder, an l I laughed *nd tzdd
them, for I confess I wu very happy
to know I had solved the secret.
" 'I merely press down on his back
cr.d wrist. It Is n slight force I us
.*till it Is more powerful ton.-, all the
strentgh you can exert In lifting.’ I
replied.
"My editor cam* out. and what he
tntrnidfid to say was cut short by an
other editor's short announcement:
“ 'Nellie Bly has found tt out. She
can do the same (fixing '
"The first editor looked frightened
and doubtful.*
* So oan you.' I sold to him. 'I will
Show you how.’
"I place,! them nil In poiritlon again.
One editor to do the lifting, the other
to do the 'magnet' net.
"Of course (he did It with the grenaest
en.'c, and we all laughel. Then I told
them that two men couldn't lift ine.
and I did not need a fooini, either.
"I only mode one provision: I dtdn’t
want them to rip the sleeve* out of
my now dres* no- tear nay arms out of
their sockets, otherwise they could do
their ber*: to lift m».
"Thereupon I folded my arms, that
Is made mv han to touch my Shoulders.
Then a man a.r either side caught mv
eibows wirh both me hands and taKsvu
and llftel utvtll they were red In toe
face, but they could not Ilf. me.
"It fa very e ray to do. Try It for an
evening's amusemeril.
“The only rr-ret to the Whole thin*
is that of placing one’s self In such ft
position tho.; a man uses Ms force
agahost ‘hlm-edf.
"In trying to lift me by the elbows
they are merely lifting my arms up as
high na they will go, but It aloes not
move my ha.lv, anl would rot If they
camtlnued until they toremy arms from
their s^-kef,.
"On the other hand, if they fiietd my
arms down firmly ngahvflt my sides
they could lift me by thorn, but wh'-n
I expand my elbows, so forcing toe
lifters to u.*e their strength against
each other, I, of oourse, stand like n
atone.
“To he lifted hv one man requires
the use of a board. Then need only to
Iriand with one foot upon the board
and one foot on the floor .against toe
board,' or tt can be done wSCh the heels
even, If the heels file of the French
style and curved.
"Then by amimlng the position of the

right upon hts oeck, brace the foot ttiflat
against the board and he xrltt never lift

At tho Inst meeting of (he roiul
eoiuinisslouvre a resolution was passed
recommending the adoption of 'vide
wheel vehicles for general use In Ma
con and Bibb county.
What lz meant hy wide wheel vehi
cles la vehicles with wheels threo
inches wide that are now coming luto
common usage throughout the country
and are being made by all lending
wagon manufacturer*.
The advantages to be derived from
threc-luch wheel vehicle* two many,
so It la claimed, but the principal ad
vantage and the one under considera
tion by the road comiulss, oners
when the resolution was adopted.- Is
tliat tho wide tire packs the roadway
Instead of cutting It up, as is done by
the narrow wheels now In use. Tho
wide wheels. It la claimed, do not tax
,i bone any more than the narrow
wheel and In sand Is much easier to
pull. Therefore the advantages of tha
wldo wheel nre readily aceu, aside from
the fact that each time they pass over
a road they Increase its hanluesa.
B.bb county’s rootle are ns good as
am bo found anywhere, bin In older
to keep them In such excellent i-omli-
tlon It is necessary to work them con
stantly, especially In the winter sea
son. When the rains ooften the earth
and put It In condition so that it Is
easily cut up by vehicles. With tho
wide wheel vehicle the read will ho
packed karaler with each rain and tlm
wheel will not ns a roller.
The action of the read rommln-
nloners In passing the resolution will
be generally eominemhal hy tin; peoplo
when tho advantages of the wide wheel
vehicle are fully known, and while
their resolution Is nothing more than
a request to the people to use the Wldo
wheel vehicle, It Is liellnvcd that li
will result In great bcuellt to tho coun
ty roads
