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 As a separate to 14, the commit¬ margin of 15 votes tee adopted a resolution providing for the nomination of United States sena¬ tors in the primaries.

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. Consul General Lee Gives an Accounting of the Money Spent. Consul General Lee, in a report to the state department, says that the SI0,000 placed to the credit of the re¬ lief fund on May 22d last was equiva¬ lent to SI0,975 Spanish dollars. This fund, which he he says was ex¬ pended with the greatest care and economy, is nearly exhausted. DAUNTLESS UNDER 8URTEJLANUE. Government Officials are Keeping Close Watch On the Little Tug.

"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.— Lesson Helper.
