the lecture of Hon. Pleasant A. Stov
all, of Savannah, and to witness the
orthographic contest between the
two classes headed by Dr. Abe North
and Mr. Tollie Kirby, respectively.
The lecturer’s subject was “The
Land of Manana,” and his beautiful
description of Mexican life and cus
toms, the country and its people, was
greatly enjoyed by the nudience. Col.
Stovall is a graceful speaker, whose

The monster fiend of all the fiends
That ever cursed the earth;
The blackest devil of all liiB kind—
A devil from his birth!
Then boldly say, “We’ve done no wrong
To burn the monster at the stake;”
But join in peans and in song
For all that’s dear—for woman’s sake.
That vengeance came from God on high,
To take from earth the hellish fiend;
'Twas but right he should die
With lurid fire to light the same.
'Twill teach these brutal beasts to know
That vengeaiice dire will.quickly come;
God’s righteous wrath is never siqw
To avenge the Christian home.
And so 'twill be till cause shall cease
To blight with crime our Southern land;
Good men are sworn in every ense
To take the higher law in hand.
It matters not, black fiend or white,
■ They’ll surely come to time;
God ordains it just and right
To avenge this hellish crime.

orators of the South. The history of
Mexico, as he recites it, is both pleas
ing and instructive to the seeker af-
ter'knowledge concerning this pecu
liar people. The lecturer was intro
duced by Col. S. G. Orr.
The spelling bee proved to be quite
a heated contest, lasting about two
hours. The words were given out by
Mr. Ed Buchanan, the old blue-back
speller being used. Dr. Abe North
aud Mr. Tollie Kirby were appointed
to choose sides, each having a class
of twenty. An equal number of la
dies and gentlemen engaged in the
contest, but it soon became apparent
that the former were the best spellers.
Mr. Kirby’s class was victorious, Miss
Ella Sherman being the last to go
down on Dr. North’s side. The prize
for the best speller (a box of Hyler’s
candy, offered by Mr. P. B. Murphey,
president of the Newnan Library As
sociation, - ) was won by Mrs. Mike
Powell. The booby prize, (a huge
stick of candy, offered by Alderman
Swint,) was won by Mr. Franc Camp
bell.
A'book offered by Mr. E. T. What
ley to the pupil of the city public

something over $70.

11. Standing and coupling contest

Foreman Lane’s squad experienced
a series of minor accidents, which re
sulted in the loss of considerable
time. The contests demonstrated the
thorough officiency of the depart
ment, as well as the proficiency of
the officers in charge of the different
branches of the service.
The judges were Dr. G. W. Peddy,
Capt. J. S. Powell and Mr. J. J.
Keith. The prizes were delivered by
Hon. H. A. Hall.
After the tournament the members
of the department, together with a
few invited- friends, repaired to the
Mineral Spring, where an elegant
barbecue had been prepared for their
enjoyment.
ity on account of the recent outbreak
which had so tragic a termination;
that be recognized how difficult it was
to stay the work of mobs in the pun-
isliment of criminals of the/class to
which Sam Holt • belonged;—but that
he waB here for the purpose of study
ing the sociological phase of the ques
tion. He was afforded the fullest
opportunity for inquiry and observa
tion, and appeared deeply interested
in his subject. He visited the scene
of the recent lynching, and also had
an interview with Mrs. Alfred Cran
ford, who was in the city at the time
on a visit to her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. McLeroy. He made photographs
of Mrs. Cranford and the three chil
dren who were at home with her on
the night of the dreadful tragedy, and
likewise obtained a copy of the sworn
statement of Mrs. Cranford covering
the main details of the double crime.
In tho afternoon he whb waited
upon at his hotel by a deputation of
colored citizens, who engaged him for
about an hour in a general discussion
of the conduct and condition of the
negro race in this section. Dr. Hep-
worth was the only white person
present, and it is understood that,
while his visitors talked freely, their
views did not differ materially from
those expressed by the white citizens
with whom he had previously talked.
Dr. Hepworth left for Atlanta at
5:25 Saturday afternoon. He is pre
paring a series of articles for the New
York Herald, and it is likely that
Newnan will receive more than pass
ing notice in this great newspaper.
Among the Doctor’s callers Satur
day was Judge A. D. Freeman. After
studying the features of the distin
guished visitor for a minute Judge
Freeman remarked that he was in
New York several years ago and
heard a Dr. Hepworth preach in one
of the leading churches of that city.
He wished to kuow if there was any
relationship between the minister re
ferred to and the visitor, and was in
formed by the genial Doctor that the
preacher of twenty years ago and the
editor-preacher of to-day were one
and the same person. He was for a
long while pastor of the Church of the
Disciples, the lending Congregational-
ist church of New York city.

Resolutions by Colored Ministers'
Meeting.
At the regular monthly meeting of
the ministers of the A. M. E. Church,
held in Newnnn on Thursday night,
May 4th, the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted, to-wit:
Whereas, we condone no sort of
crime, neither would we shield the
criminal from just punishment. We
have no toleration for those who heap
disgrace upon our race by the com -
mission of crime, and denounce In
strongest terms those creatures who
are so depraved by nature and become
so reckless as to invade- the sanctity
of the home and defile the women of
our section. We believe that the gos
pel of the Son of God and the teach
ing of the sacred scriptures by His
servants will do more to check law
lessness and crime than all other
agencies combined. Therefore, bo it—
Resolved, That we increase our ef
forts, organize our forces, and put in
motion all the faculties of mind and
heart to bring under subjection every
wicked and evil influence, to the end
that the white-winged dove of Peace
may hover over us and our people.
Resolved, further, That we give
more attention to the training of the
young—in the school and the home as
well as in the church—and that we
teach more on the line of industrial
and moral training. ...
Resolved, further, That we call
upon our ministers and teachers to
lay aside all petty jealousies of church
and race, and that we join our efforts
with those of the white race to up
hold the majesty of the law, and build
up the industrial and commercial in
terests of our common country, that
peace and prosperity may abound
within our borders.
