Pursuant to the call'of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee, a few of
the Democrats of Dougherty County
met at the Court House at 12 o’clock
to-day, for the purpose of electing del
egates to the convention which meets
at Atlanta on the 18th Inst, to elect
delegates to the National Convention
at Chicago, and also to elect delegates
to the Gubernatorial convention.
Mr.’H. M. McIntosh took tho stand
and announced Hint in the absence of
Judge IV. T.' Jones, the olialrman, lie
had been requested as a member of the
Executive Committee to uall the meet
ing to order.
Mr. McIntosh was then elected chair
man and Mr. W. W. Turner secretary.
Gen. Henry Morgan made n short
talk favoring the appointment of a
committee of three to select delegates,
hut on motion of Mr. N. F. Tift, the
meeting decided to elect them In open
session.
a On motion of Mr. J, D. Pope, ns
amended by Mr. J. It. Forrester, it was
decided to send four delegates to At
lanta. Then .came a lilt ns to how
these delegates should be Instructed.
Mr. Forrester moved to send uu uni 11-
structed delegation. Mr. N. F. Tift
favored this motion, but ottered ns nn
amendment that ttiey be Instructed
with preferences for Mr. Cleveland.
Considerable discussion arising on
this point,' Mr. Turner moved ns n sub-*
stitutc to the motion ns amended thnt
the delegates be sent to Atlanta tiniii-
structed and requested to vote for nn
uninstructed delegation to Chicago.
The substitute was lost on a vote of
10 to 9 and Mr. Forrester’s motion ns
amended by Mr. Tift prevailed.
Messrs. R. llobbs, A. IV. ^osby, J. F.
Fort and IV. IV. Turner were then
chosen as delegates, with power to ap
point their alternates.
The meeting then took under con
sideration the selection of delegates to
the Gubernatorial Convention.
On motion of Mr. J. D. Pope It was
decided to send four delegates to this
convention, and Messrs. W. T. Jones,
J. D. Pope, W. E. Wooten and 8. J.
Jones were unanimously ohnsen
Mr. W. E. Wooten then offered the
following resolution
Resolved, By the Democracy of
Dougherty’ county, in mass meeting
assembled,
that we heartily endorse
the pure lind efllclent administration
cf Gov. W. J. Northen and the present
State House officers, and recommend
them for re-eleotion.
Resolved further, That we endorse
the lion. J. M. Terrell, of the county of
Meriwether, for the office of Attorney-
General, and request the delegates
On last Sunday afternoon Nathan
Gatewood, an aged Negro who lived
out on tho J. W. Walters place, was
brought t) the olty by some of his rel
atives atid friends and delivered to
Deputy Sheriff .Godwin to be confined
in the county jail. The old man was
violent!^ Insane, and his people' said
they oould not take care of him. He
wasoonflned in a cell in the county
jail to await due process of law for his
commitment to the State Lunatic Asy
lum at Milledgeville, but to-day at
about half-past 1 o’olook, he died.
Matters generally went wrong with
old man Nathan Gatewood last year,
and he was closed out or “broken up,"
as the darkies term it, by his creditors
last winter, and since then lie lias been
in a very unhappy frame of mind.
Last Friday night his reason seemed
to leave him, and he soon became vio
lent. In the county jail I10 raved and
was perfectly reckless, running
against the wails of his oell and doing
himself all maniysr of violence as long
as ids strength lasted. He Dually be
came very weak, and Wednesday death
came and relieved him of his suffering
.% Boiub in the Bnptint Convention.
The Baptist Convention was stirred
up Monday afternoon. A storm of ar
gument, sarcasm and strong de
nouncement swept over tho hitherto
peaceful assembly. Rev. C. C. Brown,
of 8outh Carolina, brought the con
vention to its feet with a jump by Ids
report of mission work among the Ne
groes; Mr. Brown, in his report, said
that if we were held accountable to
God for our treatment of the Negro,
tlint tlie question of work among them
will be damaging evidence to us on tho
day of tlie great assize. He spoke of
the darkey ns being a most oorrupt be
ing, and claimed that the Baptist do
nomination were doing nlmost noth
lug to stay tlie tide of corruption and
ruin creeping over tlie country.
In tlie face of tile work known to be
done by all Christian denominations
in the Negro mission Held, in the fnce
of the general tolerance and consider
ation tlint the 8outh lias for the darkey,
n man must be crazy or a fanatic tp
stir up such questions uselessly.
Dr. Hawthorne replied to the report
in very caustic terms; indeed, he de
nounced Mr. IlroW'ii's remarks and tlie
position he took iu strong and em-
pliatio terms.
It is deplorable that any man should
have the indisoretion.the lack of judg
ment, to bring up a question of Taee
prejudice in a church convention.
Tlje very least you oan say of the an.
tion is that it was senseless.
At a meeting Wednesday of the com
mittee appointed to consider the ad
visability of creating a new Episcopal
church, and to discuss the ways and
means of the project, some conclu
sions were arrived at that set the mat
ter before the members of the Episco
pal ohuroh and the public in a definite
light.
There was an emphatic decision that
the Episcopalians should erect a new
edifice. The plans that had been sent,
per request, by several architects,, were
carefully examined, and a plan de
signed by an Atlanta a/ohltect for
mally adopted. Tills church will cost
between $8,000 and $10,000. Three
tliousnnd of thnt amount has already
been subscribed by the Episcopalians,
and the committee decided to at ouoe
cnll in tho subscriptions nnd begin
work ns soon as possible. They • hope
to begin-work In two or three months.
Tlie plau they have adopted is n

The offer of Mr. Terrell’s name for

opposition on account of the mention
of the name of Hon. Clifford Ander

The work was finished Tuesday after

ready for use. Little .squads of Meth

at different times during the past two
Jays, and they have watched its erec
tion with much interest.
But it how stands ready to 1)0 its
part in tho general work-of the church

bers of the church expressed them
selves as delighted with the instru
ment, both in its appearance and tone,
and they are looking forward with

The organ is of antique oak, and

ADVERTISED I.ETTIilEM.
These are very dull times; especial
ly so when compared with the lively
condition of things which existed just
previous to the present quiet state of
affairs in Ajbany. The time between
the first of the year and Chautauqua
was lively enough, and for two weeks
before and after the Chautauqua Al
bany nor any other city ever had 1
busier, livelier appearance. Now,
since the warm weather has fairly
started, people atterid to their busi
ness in-doors, and the drowsiness,
caused by the sultry atmosphere de
ters them from stirring around and
making the streets seem lively. Just
approach a policeman or anyone else,
and inquire what the news may be,
You don’t get any. .Stay on the streets,
nnd you only see every-day appear
ances and incidents. Y'ct business is
lively compared with other tilings; but
trade is carried on in such a quiet way
that you never would see or know of it
without inquiring; and in the resi
dence portion of town a great deal of
building is going on, which is the best
sort of sign that our town is moving
and growing. Just watch Albany,
and you’ll see that, though she makes
no blow and may seem quiet, she’s orf
the move.

The Blie end Tall of Bab, the Mohem*
medan Reformer—HU Brava Though
Untimely Death—The Greater Helm,
Who le en Katie from BU Native Lend.
Professor Browne, lecturer in Persian
at the University of Cambridge, bus
written a ourious book, entitled “The
Episode of the Bab.” Probably a few
people know who the Bab is, but Mr.
Browne's researches are certain to
awaken interest in the man who was the
arch heretic of Persia In the oarly part
of the reign of the present shah. He
died a violent death at the hands of the
government when it was learned that
the heresy that ho preached threatened
tho peuco of tho national church. His
followers live and nro faithful to y his
momory and teachings.
Thoir leaders arc In oxile, and Profes
sor Browne’s hook tolls of his extraordi
nary exertions to soe them and got their
story from their own lips. They aro
scattered far and wide. Sumo of them
are in Cyprus; others aro in Palestine,
safe from the vongeance of the shall. All
of them would expect to loso their hondB
if they sliowed themselves in Persiu.
Only the humble followers of tho Dab
live unmolested In thoir own country,
holding thoir mootings socretly for fear
of tho persecution of tho angry Mollahs.
Tho Bab wus a Mohammedan re
former, who went to Mecca and cauio
back with a now commentary* on the
Koran. Ho spoke of himself ns superior
to Mohammed nnd to nil other great re
ligious reformers, but he announced
that n grejitcr than he was coming. Tlint
greater one is Bella, who lives ill an
earthly paradise called Bclijo, near
Tyre, where Professor Browuo found
him. Tho author says ho fools quite un
equal to tho task of convoying a vivid
impt ensiou of tho facoH and forms that
suiTuundod him during ids visit to tills
strange retreat. Ho almost runs short
of adjectives when lie describes the
wondrous and vcnorablo figure of the
holy man. IIo says ho beheld a face
which he will never forgot, although lie
cannot describe it. Tho piercing eyes
seemed to l end Ills very soul. "No need
to ask iu whoso presence 1 stood ns 1
bowed myself before one who is the ob
ject of a devotion and love which kings
might envy aud emperors sigh for in
vain.”
Bella's preaching is a prophecy of the
“most great peuco" and of the brother
hood nnd unity of rnun. Tho brother
hood of the entire race is coming, he
predicts. Prof. Browno Bays Bohn knows
the exact position of European nffuirs
and is sorry for tho western nations.
He sees kings and raters lavishing their
treasures in tho purchase of means of
destruction instead of procuring the
Dayans of happiness. Meekness, con
cord, obedience, submission are the es
sentials of his secret in the perfect way.
He is loved and revered by all bis fol
lowers wherever they may be, and many
a message from him is rcud in tho secret
meetings in Persia of the humble fol
lowers of the Bah.
Tho Bah was not learned in tlie law
like tho greut doctors of the church,
and for thnt reason they held him in
contompt. It wnshiB habit to dispute
with them in tho templos, and although
no was ignorant his wisdom put their
Knowledge to shame. They said he
proved himself an impostor because he
talked bod grammar. Ho showed them
thnt his grammar was tho grammar of
the Koran, and asked them if it was not
bettor to bo wrong with the prophet
than right with the rest of tho world.
Whenevor ho became too troublesome
they beat him with rods. At lost thoy
bad him shot. A company of infantry
was drawn up, mid the Bub and one of
his followers were placed before it as
targets. Tho first discharge killed the
followor, but only broke tho cords that
bound tho prophet. Ho might have con.
verted his executioners then if ho had
had time to make tho most of the situa
tion. But before ho could speak the
second volley was fired and the Bab
died of many wounds.
His followers wore torribly incensed
at the outTage, and tried to assassinate
the shah. It is said that ho fainted with
terror at tho sight of tho conspirators,
and was only saved by tho timely arri
val of his escort. For a time he mode
Persia very unsafe for tho followers of
the Bab. He killed their leaders, Hud
to this day those who escaped from their
native land have never dared to return.
Among the victims was the one Salva
tion Lass of the movement, the beauti
ful Kurratu l-’Ayn, who, Jt is said, was
a miracle of learning and of every femi
nine charm. She was killed by slow
torture, and to the very last she declared
her supreme faith in tho teachings of
the Bab. The Mollahs who slew her
came near rebelling a few months ago
when their lord and master threatened
to interfere with the tobacco question
in Persia. They made him tremble for
his life and throno until tho obnoxious
measures he proposed were rescinded.
Meanwhile Beha is waiting patiently
in exile, confident that the day will come
when his teachings will triumph in Per
sia apd the leaders of his faith can re
turn to thoir land.—New York Sun.

“I litre the dashing cornet and tho

Too Much.
Mrs. I.averty, an Irish lady, who lived
thirty miles from tho Americnn Rich
mond, was in tlie provident habit of
laying in a store of groceries to last an
entire qunrter, since she could not ropnir
to Richmond oftoner than four times a
year. On ono of those provisioning ex
peditions she laid in nstoraof matches—*
a disastrous investment, since not a
match would Btriko. Wild was her fury,
which was kept alight mid aglow by her
recurring daily trouble to got her Hro
alight nnci aglow without a match. Her
wrath, thus kept nt boiling point for
tlireo months, gave tho storekeopor a
hot qunrter of nil hour, when she burst nt
last into ids store aud thundered down
tho parcel- of matchboxes upon tho
counter. Having waited with defer
ential patience until the storm hnd Bpent
itself, he said suavely. “Allow me.
muduiu.”
Taking u matchbox from tho parcel
and a match from tho box, lie struck it,
after t he maimer of men, upon hts trous

smug triumph, holding up the kindled
match. "Tho divll fly away wid yet"
shrieked Mrs. Lnverty. "Do yo think,

A Gallant Irish Iloy.
The biographer of General Crawford
tells tho following story: Daring Wel
lington’s campaign in tha Peninsula, the
Light division was dofoated by the
French nnder Marshal Ney, and forced
to retreat across a river. A young sol
dier from the north of Ireland, named
Stowart, was nicknamed “The Boy," as
ho wns only ninetoen years of age aud
of gigantic stathre.
He had fought bravely, and was one
of the last men who came down to the
bridge, liver Which the division was re
treating. Uu reluscd to puss over, but
gazing at tho French with a grim look,
said iu u loud voice:
“So this is tho end of our boasting!
This is our first battle, and we retreat!
The Boy Stewart will not live to hear
that said."
Striding forward, he fell npon the ad
vancing Frenchmen with his bayonet,
and died fighting.
“Gallant, but rashl” tho reader says.
Yes, bnt so wore tho unyielding warriors
at Tberniopybs.
Fly Fishing.
There is no donbt that certain flies nre
best adapted to different seasons, tildes
of day and conditions of weather, but a
dozen flies of different namos will fully
answorall of theso requirements. An
angler's flies resomble nothing when cost
upon tlie water. They are simply a
something which attracts tho tront.
Color 1ms more allurement than form,
and as there are not so many colors there
is no use for many files. The general
rale is for light flics on dark days and
dark or darkish flies on light days. Sizes
are more to be considered than form
and mixture in makenp, A large trout
wants something worth his making an
effort to secure. It is doubtless true
that an arbitrary cast of files cannot be
made np which will be adapted to all
waters.—Forest and Stream.
