ASHBURN. WORTH CO.. GA.. FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1897.
HON. J. HUGE TYLER Is NOMI¬
NATED FOR GOVERNOR.
PLATFORM IS FOR FRF.E SHYER.
No Deviation From the Chicago Platform.
Edward Ecliolg Named For Idru-
tenant Governor.
The democratic state convention of
Virginia was called to order at noon
Wednesday in the Academy of Music
it Roanoke.
Nearly, if not quite all, of the 1,548
nembers of the body were present or
represented by proxy.
The convention began its operations
at noon, and had an afternoon session,
but nothing was accomplished until
rho night session, because of some
complicated lights before the commit¬
tee on credentials.
Major J. Hcge Tyler, a straightout
free silver man, was unanimously
nominated for governor. The contest
over the lieutenant governorship w T as
a close drawn one but resulted in the
nomination of Edward Echols.
The convention then adjourned until
10 o’clock Thursday morning.
Special emphasis is laid upon the
four great demands of the platform
formulated which are;
For a tariff for revenue in the lan¬
guage of the Chicago platform.
For an income tax and a constitu¬
tional amendment, if it is necessary,
in the accomplishment of that end.
For the complete regulation of
trusts and combines. For the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver at the legal ratio of 16 to 1,
without w aiting for the aid or conseut
of other nations.
On these points the platform reads
as follows;
“We reaffirm the platform of the demo¬
cratic national convention adopted at Chi¬
cago in July, 1896, and upon which William
Jennings Bryan was nominated for the
presidency of the United States, and we
extend our congratulations to a noble
champion upon the able and brilliant man¬
ner in which he discharged his trust. The
fact that he received more votes than any
previous democratic candidate for the pres¬
idency and more than any candidate of any
party, barring nlono his successful oppo¬
nent, is evidence that democratic principles
are still dear to a vast mass of the Ameri-
can people and that democracy is living
in the hope of an early and complete tri¬
umph. We especially indorse the doctrines
of the national democratic party upon the
four great issues which are before the peo¬
ple of this country, viz: The tariff, the in¬
come tax, the regulating of trusts and the
currency. Tariff duties should be levied for
revenue purposes, and only for so much
revenue as may be needed for an economic
administration of the government. Upon
the subject of currency, we declare ourselves
unalterably opposed to the British system
of monometallism which has aggrandized
that empire at the expense of the
nations producing food supplies and raw
material and its adoption has only aggra¬
vated our financial servitude to London.
It is not only un-American, but anti-Ameri¬
can, and it ean be fastened on the United
states only by the stifling of that spirit and
love of liberty which proclaimed our politi¬
cal independence in 1776, and caused the
war of the revolution. We demand an un¬
limited coinage of both gold and silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the
aid or consent of any other nation.'
The platform calls for the repeal of
the 10 per cent tax on state bank issues,
and then goes at some length into state
affairs. plank, by the narrow

SENATOR GEORGE DEAD.
AVas MisHirtsippi'H Senior Member lu Uni¬
ted Stilted Senate.
Senator ,T. M. George Hied at his
home in Mississippi City Saturday
afternoon, and while his death was not
unexpected, has saddened the whole
commonwealth.
Senator Walthall telegraphed the
vice president and sergeant-arms of
the senate, who will have charge of
the funeral, and asked them to com¬
municate with J. AN 7 . George, son of
the senator, who was with him when
he died at Mississippi City.
The vice president will name the
committee of senators and representa¬
tives to attend the funeral.
Senator George was not a native of
Mississippi, hut had resided in that
state since his eighth year. He was
horn in Monroe county, Georgia, on
the 26th day of October, 1826. After
the death of his father, which occurred
in the senator’s early infancy, he
removed with his mother in 1884 to
Noxube county, Mississippi, remaining
there for only two years and then
going to Carroll county, where he
maintained his legal residence until
his death.
Senator George obtained his educa¬
tion in the common schools and did
not begin his professional career until
after the close of the Mexican war,
during which he served as a private in
the regiment commanded by Jefferson
Davis.
Ho afterwards took an active part
in the civil war, casting his lot with
the south. He left the convention hall
to be captain in the Twentieth regi¬
ment of the Mississippi volunteers. Ho
rose to the rank of brigadier general
of state troops before the close of the
war.
When the civil war closed Mr.
George returned to Carroll county, re¬
suming the practice of his profession,
and later entering politics. In 1879
he was appointed to the supreme
bench and soon afterwards was elected
chief justice, in which capacity he was
serving his state when first elected to
the United States senate in 1881. Had
he been permitted to serve his entire
term he would, on the 4th of March,
1899, have completed his eighteenth
year in the senate. He declined a re-
election a year ago on account of his
health.
LEFT VICTIMS FOR DEAD.
Brute Assaults Two Women ami Tries to
Brain Them.
In Catoosa county, in the Chicka-
mauga National park, Saturday morn¬
ing, in the absence of Mr. Hitchcock,
a park laborer, from his house, a white
man assaulted Miss Hitchcock, his
fifteen year-old daughter. The assail¬
ant also struck the prostrate girl on
the head with a bludgeon and left her
for head.
Her mother, a feeble woman fifty
years of age, came upon the scene,
when the trespasser, with the same
blungeon that he had crushed the
skull of his first victim, struck the
mother.
Both were loft for dead, but their
cries had reached the ears of a man
(Kissing by before the woman became
unconscious. The information was
wired to Chattanooga and later a posse
was organized and started in pursuit.
STRIKE SITUATION MIDDLED.
West Virginia Miners Claim Thai. Hig
Mistakes Have Been Made.
A special from Wheeling, W. Va.,
says: The beginning of another week
of the coal strike in the Wheeling and
eastern Ohio districts shows a imul-
died situation.
A vigorous opposition to the in closing course
of the United Mine Workers
down the mines that supply the sever¬ de¬
al iron manufacturing plants has
veloped among the workingmen them¬
selves, many asserting that a big mis¬
take has been made.
The situation at the Laughlin mill
mine across the river has been
straightened out by the declination of
the miners to work as long as the
campers are in the vicinity. The
Laughlin and other plants are now
getting coal from Fairmont.
RELIEF FUND EX H ASTED.

1. "Though I speak with the tongues of
men and of angels, and have not love, I
am become as sounding brass ora tinkling
cymbal." It is said that, this is the only
chapter (nail Paul’s epistles in which he
does not mention Jesus in one or other of
Utilities. But it is a portrait so wonder¬
ful that one cannot fail to recognize the
likeness even without the name. The first
throe verses sot forth love versus
prophecies, tongues, knowledge, faith,
goods, etc. All are nothing apart from
love, but Jesus combined all ia Himself,
and He spoke with more than tongues vii., of
man or angels. See Isa. 1, -I; Math, 23,
29; xiii., 54: Luke iv., 22; John vii., IS, 4(1.
2. “And though i have the gift of proph¬
ecy and understand nil mysteries, and all
knowledge, and though i have all faith,
so that 1 could remove mountains, and
have not love, J am nothing.” He foretold
all things. In Him are hid all the treas¬
ures of wisdom and knowledge, and Hois
the author and finisher of our faith (Mark
xiii., 28; Col, ii., 3; Ileb. xii., 2). Apart
from or severed from Him we can do noth¬
ing (John xv., 5), hut through Him, or He
through us, can do all things.
3. "And though I bestow all my goods to
feed the poor, and though I give my body
to he burned and have not love, it proflteth
mo nothing,” Ho actually gavo us every¬
thing, all the glory of heaven, and became
so poor for us that He often hail not where
sacrifice to lay His head, and He gave Himself a
for ustliat we might by His blood
be saved, and then eat Him and live, and
It was from first to last love to God and to
us (John vii,, 53, with viib, 1; Luke ix., 53;
I Cor. viii., 9); also (Ex. (xii.,8; John vl.,
56, 57; Phil. ii„ 8; Gal. ii., 20 1. e.). When
this great love of His constrains us or
takes hold of us as a burning fever, we will
reflect Him.
4. "Love suffereth long, and is kind Love
snvieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is no{
puffed up.” His humility. patience, kindness, con¬
tentment and Never was this
love Lord seen perfectly Oh, Jesus, on earth except in our
Jesus. Master, give me
this iovei Love passive, love active, love
to those in tilt? same work, love at Jesus’
feet, willing to be used in any way or set,
aside, willing to be used to open some one’s
eyes and then to be washed off into the
pool. Delighted and with Christ, yielded wholly occu¬
pied with Him, fully to Him.
5. "Doth not behave itself unseemly,
Hceketh not her own, Is not easily provoked,
tliinketh no evil.” The It, V. says, "is not
provoked, taketh not aooount of evil." He
never pleased Himself, nor sought His own
will nor glory, but did always those things
that pleased the Father (ltom, xv., 3; John
e., 30; vl., 39; opened viii,, 29). When oppressed and
afflicted He His mouth, When re-
viled, He reviled not again. When Ho suf¬
fered, He threatened not (Isa. liii., 7; 1 Pet.
ii., 23). There is noway to live this life,
every Christian ought to live, exeunt
by yielding to willing, Him that Ho may live it in
iis. If we are He will do it.
6. "Rnjoiceth truth” not in has Iniquity, but re-
joieeth lowship in with the that which no is part evil. in Neither nor fel¬
loos evil, nor tolerates it in others, but
ioves tbo truth, lives the truth and speaks
he truth. He said, "I am the truth.” The
Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. God is
’.ho God of Hedesireth truth (John xiv., 6; xvi., 13; Isa,
xv,, 16), truth in the inward
parts (Ps. i vii., 6), and when He who is’the
rath has full control It will be even so,
7. “Beareth all things, believetli all
-ldngs, hopeth meekness all things, suffers euduroth (is all
things.” In In the
right of God, and for Christ's sake puts up
with everything, believing that all things
are from God and for our sakes to accom¬
plish His blessed will hntil He come. Un-
jompiaining, unresisting, meekly yielding,
and simply trusting, having confidence in God
seeing Jesus only,
8. “Love never faileth. But whether
there bo prophecies, they shall fail; wheth¬
er there be tongues, they shall cease;
whether there be knowledge, it shall van¬
ish away." Whatever else may cease with
oursoujourn here Jove shall not cease.
Every prophecy shall be fulfilled and pre¬
diction be no more needed. There shall be
one language as before Babel, and all our
present knowledge of the future bo swal¬
lowed up in the sight and enjoyment of
the actual realities, while love shall be
known, manifested and enjoyed ns never be¬
fore. God Is love, and he that dwelleth in
lovedwelletb In God and God in him (I
John tv., 46;.
9. 10. “For wo know In part and wo
prophesy in part. But when which that which is
perfect Is come, then that Is In part
shall be done away.” We may know much
now, but we shall know more hereafter, for
“if any man think that he knoweth any¬
thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought God
to know” (I Cor. viii, 2). The child of
in this world has not what bo will have, is
not what he will be, sees not what he will
see.
11. “When I was a child, I spake as a
child, I understood as a child, 1 thought as
a child. But when I became a man, I put
phases away childish talk tilings,” He children refers to some
of (.lie of little in chap¬
ter Hi,, 1-5, which are often met with to-
lay. All tnlk that savors of church or de¬
nominational pride, or that boasts of what
wo do, or of what talk. we are, is mere childish
prattle, baby But with this dlffer-
ince, while the children’s talk /nay be inno¬
cent and ever attractive, the baby talk of
Christians Is positively sinful. The cure
for ail such thoughts and words is found
In words Isa, of lv., God 7-9. take Let the the place thoughts of and
ours, and
as we ore filled with them ours will be
crowded out,
12. “For now wc see through a glass
darkly, but then face to face. Now I know
In part, but then shall I know even as also
I am known.” All our knowledge here Is but
partial, and I believe that when we shall be
at home with the Lord, even the most fam¬
iliar words from His book will then open
to us with a breadth and length and depth
and height of meaning that we never
dreamed of.
13. “And now abidetb faith, hope, love,
these three. But the greatest of these is
love.” Heb, xi. is the great faith chapter;
Horn, viii, is the great hope chapter, and
this is the great love chapter. The love of
God to us is the greatest thing we ever
heard of,'and His love to others manifest
through us is the greatest service we can
render. . But wc must also remember that
“without faith it is impossible to please
Him” Gleb, xi,, 0;. and also that the hope
Is the great purifier of our lives G John
lib, 3;. There are no contradictions here,
but we must take the whole testimony and
put it before us to sec the whole truth.—
