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 Gothic structure of briok, with steno trimmings, nnd with ft seating capacity of about four hundred.

The offer of Mr. Terrell’s name for Attorney-General brought fortli some opposition on account of the mention of the name of Hon. Clifford Ander son, of Bibb, for the position. Mr. Anderson's cause waswarmly espoused, and the resolution finally passed, amended as follows: Resolved further, That we endorse the Hon. Clifford Anderson, of Bibb, as first choice, and tlie Hon.

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. Tko Street Band. “I litre the dashing cornet and tho sprightly clarinet," said Colonel Calli per, “but I like best of all that brass fountain of cheerfulness, the big bass horn. Care takes a back seat when the big horn sounds. It paints the air red and defies all creation, bnt it is vastly good natured withal, and it never foils when its friends the cornet and the clari net pause for breath to come in with its oomph-nht oomph-aht oomph-nht pro-- A NEW il serving the harmony unbroken. Relieved from this duty, it rolls off over the edge of a cliff and brings up suddenly ot the foot with a tremendous oomph! Rebounding, with dignity un ruffled, with undiniinished vigor, and with undimwed, inextinguishable and overwhelming good huuiov, it losses off sound in large decorative effects that excite tho wonder of every hearer nnd fill every hearer with broad delight. “Just why the big buns horn is usnully played by a short, stout man. while tho slender elarinot is played by a man who is tull nnd thin is one of those things thnt nobody knows. Tho time may come. Indeed, when the short, stout man will piny tlie slender clarinet aud the tall, thin mnu will play the big liars horn; but by whomsoever it limy be ployed let us hope that the big librae thunderous jollity will never bo abated." —New York Sun. 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 ers. “Seo, madam'/" lie exclaimed iu smug triumph, holding up the kindled match. "Tho divll fly away wid yet" shrieked Mrs. Lnverty. "Do yo think, that ivery time I'ro a fire to light I'll thrurel thirty miles to sthrike a mutch on the snte of yere breeches?”—Richard A. King in Belgravia. 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.
