STILL IN DOUBT.
Senate and House Con¬
feree* remain firm.
From cur mpufar Goarsourulent.
Washington, July 80,1894.
President Cleveland has not
changed bis mind about the desi-
rability of admitting free of duty
such raw materials as coal and iron
ore ; nor have tho democratic tna-
jority ul the bouse which voted to
put them on the free list in the
original Wilson bill; nor have the
democratic voters of the country
who were under the
when they put a democratic con-
gross and administration in power
that free ra,W materials ware as-
sured. Notwithstanding this over¬
whelming democratic sentiment in
favor of free raw materials, coal
and iron are r.ot to go on the free
list. It is both unnecessary and
unprofitable to enter into any ex~
planation at this time as to tho
why’s and wherefore’s of this. It
is sufficient to say that the fact has
been made plain fhr<t no bill put¬
ting iron and coal on the free list
can pass the senate. Therefore the
democrats of the house are brought
face to face with the choice of leav¬
ing the McKinley law stand or, of
allowing the senate to have its way
about coal and iron, and getting a
new tariff law on the statute books,
which contains many most excel¬
lent features and which is, even in
the iron and coal schedules, a big
reduction from the duties imposed
by the McKinley law.
This is the situation that con-
fronted the democratic house eon-
ferees when they met the senate
conferees today for their first for¬
mal meeting in their second effort
to reach an agreement on the
bill. In addition they iverc met
with the tie vote of the senate re-
fusing to instruct its conferees to
recede from the differential duty of
one-eighth of a cent a pound on
refined sugar, thus indicating, one
might sfiy officially, that any
change in the sugar schedule would
not. be accepted by the senate.
Notwithstanding all this chair¬
man Wilson and the house confer¬
ees are not disposed to give up the
fight; therefore a call is being cir¬
culated for a caucus of the demo¬
crats of the house, to be held if no
agreement is reached on the bill by
Tuesday. It is believed that the
conferees will endeavor to reach an
agreement upon everything except
the iron, sugar and coal schedules
of the bill before the caucus is held,
and that chairman Wilson will then
ask the caucus what shall be done
about those schedules. It is, of
course, impossible to say what
action tho caucus will take, but in
view' of the fact that the democrats
ot the house are practically unani¬
mous in the opinion that a tariff
bill must be passed at this session
of congress, and that a bill cannot
be passed unless those schedules
are accepted in accordance with
the demands of the senate, it is
believed that the caucu * wiii
atructtac , .. .. conferees the responsibility to agree, know-j
mg that has
been placed, by Pres. Cleveland’s
letter., where it belongs.
I here has been much talk hare
about the Probability of President
Gleveland vetoing the bill if the
° U He gr ° BH l ° th8 8enate irnn >
coal , and i sugar schedules, but I do
not tb.nk it at all probable that he
will. In fact, I have excellent rea
sons tor the belief that he has ad-
vised chairman Wilson and other
prominent democrats of the house
to get all the reduction possible in
t.ie senate bill and then to accept
HL thebesl th:,t on bu had.
I So not state it fo, a faot
i resident Cleveland has giver,
advice, but that I have excel-
reasons, which cannot be told
violating confidence, for
that he has. It is also
that prominent democrats, Mr.'
of congress, have given
and the other democratic
similar advice. •
The commission appointed by
Cleveland to investigate
caucea of the recent railroad
mot for the first time, today,
the office of Hon. Carroll IY
U. S. Commissioner OJ j
labor, who jp ex-officio chairman ol
the commission. No time is to be
lost iu making the investigation.
The house committee on labor
after an extended examination of
the various bills on the subject
decided by a unanimous vote in
favor of Representative Springer’s
bill for the creation of a national
board of arbitration, which has
been favorably reported to tne
bouse and will, if the committee
c* 11 succeed in securing a day for
its consideration., almost certainly
be passed at the present session.
The bill is drawn in accordance
with the recommendation contain¬
ed in President Cleveland’s 1887
message to congress.
The senate investigating commit-
tee is having considerable trouble
in locating a witness—Mr. Batter-
shall—, who is alleged to be a walk-
in r encyclopedia on just the things
the committee wishes to find out
about the alleged dealing of sena-
tors in stock of the sugar truer.
There is little disposition in
either house or senate to take up
any other general legislation of im¬
portance, us the belief is general
that the business of the session will
bo rushed to a close as soon as the
tariff bill is finally disposed of.
AN ARBOR MEETING.
Mr, Editor:—
The pastor of
the Crisp circuit, Rev.' E. L. Pad'
rick, and myself have planned for
an arbor meeting to begin Thurs¬
day evening before the 2d. Sunday
of this month, at Swan, eight miles
east of IrwinviiJe.
Wit L* Prof. E. J. Cheek at the or¬
gan arid Ilro. O. I. Chambers with
the cornet, we can vouch for the
music. These brethren are resi¬
dents of Dawson, Ga., and have
consented to come, through my
* arnopfc s °kcitation. v, e will have
three sermons daily; at 11 a. no., 4
and 7 ‘ 30 P- 17 •’ interspersed with
?,ra ver and P raipe sarvmee. We in¬
-
vite every body to attend, bringing
their baskets supplied with a suffi¬
ciency to feed themselves at morn-
ing and evening. This will be nec-
ees a: y, neenuse the vilagers, though
hospitable, are too few in number
to provide for and entertain the
people. And besides, this arrange¬
ment will prevent any from being
“careful and troubled about much
serving.” We will have a good
team of workers, both ministerial
and lay, and shad expect the mar*-
ifest presence and power of the
Head of the church. For this let

We give our brethren of other

Editor Nkws : —
There has been
so much rain for several days in
this section, that wo have not been
able to gather any news of interest,
Evrything is quiet along the line.
Occasionally a oanidate will-give
us it call, but they are reasonably
considerate t they simply let us
know that they are in the race, and
their desire is understood, if not
expressed. I am glad to say that
the people in this vecinitytake very
little stock in politics. A few third
p&rtvites from Sycamore passed
here yesterday on their wa v from
Tifton, where they had been to
hear Messers Hines and Watson
endeavor to etir up the pure minds
of the people. I dubed the above
mentioned gentlemen third party
supposing a Democrat did not have
ambition enough to ride thirty-live
miles to get so little solid comfort.
Onr School has been closed a few
days, on account of the serious id-
ness os Prof Daniel's brother. but
we are glad there has been a change
for the better, with the sick one
and the Prof is back at his post of
duty this morning. Mrs Lot War¬
ren and her daughter Miss Sallio
made a flying tripe to Ashburn yes¬
terday. Mr VanHouton has b on
here today reminding some of the
folks of the fact that court would
convene at Irwiville sometime in

THE CORDELL DISTRICT CON¬
FERENCE.
Mr. Editor :—
Thinking it
might be of interest to your read¬
ers, I submit the following synop¬
sis of the Cordele District Confer¬
ence : Tt convened In the beautiful
and hospitable little town of Tifton
on the 26th ult.
The pastors of all the charges
save one, were present. Their re¬
ports showed progress in the vari¬
ous lines of church work. There
has been several hundred access i-
ons to the roll of membership
ring the year, and many meetings
yet to be held. Finances were re¬
ported as being rather short, but
the laborers wete uncomplaining—
stimulated by the hope that the as¬
sessments would be met in the fall.
The lay representation, while not
full was fair, and these faithful men
discharged their obligations well.
The conference was honored by the
presence of several distinguished
educators from our colleges, and by
representatives of other
ons of the church, to wit: President
Twitty, of Andrew Female Colle ge> 0
Pres. Huckabee, of the Routh Geor¬
gia, Pres. Smith, of the Lagrange,
Prof. Magath, of Emory, and Prof.
Derry, of the Wesleyan. Bds.
Christian, of the Wesleyan Advo¬
cate, and Wardlaw, of the Orphan’s
home, were also present. These ______
brethren all contributed much to
the success of the meeting. The
spiritual feature was above the av-
erage on such occasions, There
was not the least friction—all was
harmonious and pleasant from be¬
ginning to end.
Too much could not be said in
praise of the hospitality and kind¬
ness of the citizen-t of Tifton. We
bless them in the name of the
Lord.
Dougins was selected as the place
for holding the next conference.

A Chance For AH.
Not a few people have told us re
cently that they would like so much
to have The News in their homes
and would subscribe if they only
had the money.
To meet the stringency of the
times we have decided to receive all

est market prices, in payment ol
subscription.
Those who are behind with their
subscriptions may also avail them
selves of this opportunity. Tnis
