"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.

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.

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 aet about ft got another pastor.

NELLIE BLY AND Dixie haygood Nellie Says the Little Georgia Msgnof Is a Great Big Fake and Says She Proved It NELLIE LETS THE SECRET OUT Itut It Will Require 3Iore Evidence for the Thousancta Who Have (experi mented With the Little Won der to Agree With Her* •The Georgia Magnet," Mrs. Annl* 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.
