The Grand Ball Honda} Night a
Pleasant Success — Tlio Supper
Klc.
The long talked of ball came oft*
Monday night, and was a success in
every particular. Sinichas Torah,
means the feast of *ho tabernacle, and
is celebrated in honor of the comple
tion of the temple over which Moses
and Aaron prc.sidcd as high priest, and
the presentation to the children of
Isrni-1 of the lnws as contained in the
old testament. In Kurope this is ob
served as an occasion of great rejoicing,
of dancing and feasting.
The Germans of Albany never do
things hy halve?—but,when tiny in
augurate a ball or anything else they
are pretty sure to carry it to a success
ful termination. Monday n : g’t Ti t’a
Hall was aglow with animating b auty;
handsomely attired ladies and gentle
men in complete hall dress. Israel’s
fairest daughters and most gallant
sons, keeping time to the lively and
inspiring -trains of Modena’s band, as
they glided in graceful couples over the
waxed iioor, presented a lively scene.
The committee of arrangements de
serve credit for their earnest, untiring
endeavors to make it pleasant for all.
And we feel under especial obligations
to Messrs. Richard and David Robin
son for their many kind attentions. But
we think it wrong to individualize,
when we were the recipient of so many
courtesies from, not only the commit
tee, but numeroua other gentlemen.
At 12 o’clock all adjourned to the
Bogen House, where an elegant supper
awaited them, to which the merry par
ty did ample justice. After supper the
devotees of Terpsichore returned to the
hall and the dance was resumed, and
continued without interruption until
after 3 o’clock, when fatigued nature
demanded rest, and the festivities of the
evening came to a close. Want of space
forbids us saying more. It was a most
enjoyable affair.
Quarterly Conference.
The fourth and last Quarterly Con
ference of the Methodist Church of
this city was held Saturday night, and
was well attended. Sunday morning
Presiding Elder, Rev. T. T. Christian,
occupied the pulpit, and again at the
evening services he officiated. In the
course of his eloquent discourse ho
endeavored to impress upon mothers
and fathers the importance of making
good impressions upon the minds of
their children. To so act and speak in
the presence of their little ones that
when they have passed away and their
children grown to manhood and wo
manhood these good impressions in
delibly stamped upon their young
hearts may influence their whole life.
It is at the fimily fireside where thc
gem of future greatness is planted in
the boyish breast. The learnings of
thc university may fade from the re
collection; it’s classic lor«* moulder in
the halls of memory; but the simple
lessons of home instilled into the
youthful heart by a father and mother
defy the rust and chango of time.
Mr. Christian announced that this
would be his last appearance in our
pulpit this year. At the close of his
sermon Rev. H. R. Felder, our beloved
Molhodist pastor, made an earnest and
eloquent appeal to those yet lingering
without the pale o the church.
I can assure you that in no single in
stance has the Teethina ever proved a

Death of Robt. J. Hill.
Macon Telegraph and Messenger
24th : As will be seen from ihe notice
which appears elsewhere, Robt J. Hill
d»ed last afternoon, at the residence of
his sister, Mrs. James Seymour, on
Tatnall Square. Mr. Hill ha? been ill
for several w'eeks, and his passing away
was not unlocked for. He was born,
we believe, in Baldwin county’, though
the greater portion of his life was spent
in and around Americus. He is a broth
er of Capt James A. Hill, of our city.
Some years ago he was so unfortunate
as to lose his eyo-ight, since which
time he has been under the tender
care of his sister, M vs. Seymour, who,
by her constant devotion in every way,
lessened the burden of life for him.
His was a disposition “as gentle as a
woman’s and as manly as a man’s ”
Generous and brave, just and warm
hearted, his life was made up of sacrifi
ces for others. As he has sown, so
shall lie reap. Thc funeral services
and interment will take place this af
ternoon. in Americus, Georg a.
Mr. Hill was a brother uf Mrs. T. 1$.
Johrston, and was well known and
highly respected in A’bany, where he
has spent eonsi ’erable time. His nu
merous friends in our city will regret
to hear of his death.

To the Democratic Party of the

from this District. My name was pre-

tion from Worth to the Convention,
and t was nominated by acclamation.
I had not nought tho nomination, but
m it was thug tendered I felt it my duty
to accept it.
I have looked into thc matter fully,
an i find that the Democratic party is
so demoralized by factions that I can
not rely upon it for a hearty support,
and hence I may bo defeated. I am
a true organized Democrat, and when
my party selects a candidate, I will
support the nominee. But I regret to
find that party obligations are now very
weak. I therefore retire from the con
test, and hope that you will not loose
by it. 1 must return my thanks to the
true Democrats in Dougherty and Lee
counties, who have stood by me ; hut
regret to say that many othera have
failed to show that obligation to the
party th*t I would have been glad to
see. i am fully satisfied that I could
not get my election, except by tbe use

This I cannot, as a conscientious man.
do, and will not do. I must preserve

NOBWOOD AND MOSES.
The Joint Dlacii.alou Wednesday.
The Hon. T. M. Norwood and Ci L U.
J. Moses both having appointments to
speak in this city Wednesday,,the re
spective friends of Governor Colquitt
and Mr. Norwood agreed upon ajoii t
discussion, which agreement was car-
ried out by the speakers at Willing
ham’s Hall.
It being Mr. Norwood’s regular ap
pointment here, he was accorded tbe
right of opening and concluding the
discussion, and the time allowed to
each speaker was two hours.
The hall was pretty well filled at the
appointed hour, 11 o'clock, and Mr.
Norwood was introduced by Col.
Joseph Armstrong. Col. Mose*,^who
spoke in behalf of Governor Colquitt,
was introduce d by Judge W. T. Jones.
Before Mr. Norwood was half
through his first speech the hall was
densely crowded, about one-fourth of
the audience being colored people. Wc
will not undertake to report either of
the speeches. To do them justice
would require more space than our
columns could afford. Mr. Norwood
and Col. Moses are both fine speakers,
and thc friends of each seemed well
satisfied with their respective efforts on
this occasion. The discussion was
spirited throughout, but each speaker
avoided anything like unpleasant per
sonalities, and good humor was main
tained throughout Taken altogether,
it was one of the most pleasant and in-
tereiting political discussions that we
have ever heard.
As the News axu Advertises is
committed to neither of the candidates
fur Governor, and occupies a neutral
position in the canvass between them,
it affords us pleasure to be able to say
that tbe friends of both Governor Col
quitt and Mi. Norwood are highly
pleased with Wednesday’s d'seussion,
each cliaming that the result will add

Welch, The following action was
taken:
Whereas, The laws require tbe'pay-
ment of all tnxes due for the year 1878
and 1879, as an indispensable qualifica
tion to vote in the approaching State
election.
And Whereat, This Board is charg
ed with the administration of the laws
for the free education of the children of
our county, the extent of which educa
tion is dependent chiefly upon the col
lection of the poll tax. Therefore, be
it
Resolved, That this Board, in pursu
ance of their duty to the children of
the county, will appoint a committe of
chalengeis at each precinct on the 6th
day of October to see that every voter
shall have paid his school tax.
Resolved, That the tax collector, J.
R. Forrester, K-q., be, and he is hereby
required to comperete witli us by fur
nishing a list of those who have paid,
and otherwise, as far M practicable.
The special attention of citizen tax
payers is called to the following laws:
Acts of 1874, Page 111. “Be it enact
ed, etc., that it shall not be lawful for
any manager of an election, nr other
person, to receive any money for taxes
on the day of election, except the tax-
collector. and if ony voter shall vote
who lias not paid his taxes his vote "hall
be illegal, and the commissioners who
consolidate the returns of the election
shall not count such votes in making
out the return.'
It will be seen by this that no taxes
can Lv paid on the day of election ex
cept at dbe Albany precinct, where Ihe
tax collector will be. Let all who can
pay their taxes previous to the day of
election, or vote at the Albany precinct
where they will have an opportunity of
paying.
The act of 1879 makes it a (misde
meanor to vote without paying taxes,
and subjects thc offenders to a fine of
not exceeding $1000, or twelve months
on thc chain gang, or h°th, or both in
the discretion of the judgj.
By order of the Board of Education
of Dougherty county.

An Explanation.
To the News and Advertiser: At
t'le Courthouse in Albany on Saturday
last, after Gen. Wofford had concluded
his speech, I arose to ask him a few
questions; and unintentionally and in
advertently, when I arose, I began by
stating that I had always voted the
Democratic ticket, which certainly was
not true, as all who know me will
know the reverse to be true, anti that I
never have voted a Democratic ticket
1 have always been a RipuUican and
voted that ticket.
As Gen. Wofford had commented se
verely, as I thought upon Gov. Col
quitt's management of the convicts and
treatment of them, I arose to ask him
if any other Governor could, und t ex
isting laws, do any better or have the
convicts treated better. J1 v object
was not to disturb the meeting in any
respect, but simply to get information
as to whether the management and
treatment of the convicts was due to
the imperfection of the law under
» hich the system was originated or thc
want of its proper execution by the
Governor. John Jones, col'd.
