In the state convention of Kansas
populists at Fort Scott on July 24th,

With the ninth regiment of ,U. S.
troops in China there are three Geor

King Humbert of Italy has been
assassinated by a man named Angelo
Bressi. The King was just entering
his carriage at Monza, when he was
shot with a revolver, three bullets

minutes. The assassin was immedi
ately arrested.
It is reported from South Africa
that about 5,000 Boer soldiers under
Gen. Prinzloo were surrendered to
the British about a week ago, and
also that the British forces under
Gen. Baden-Powell were beseiged
by the Boers at Rustenburg in
Western Transvaal.
Inability to agree as to-a com-
mander-in-chief of the international
troops at Tien Tsin prevents an im
mediate advancE on Pekin to release
the ministers of the several powers
and other prisoners there. They
were reported to be safe on July 22,
but that report has not been satis
factorily verified.
As the presidential campaign in
this country is now made up, a man
must either serve the democratic or
the republican cause, if he hopes to
be counted as much as a notch on a
stick in polities.
Of course a man may vote the
ticket of one of the minor parties,
if his sense of duty so demands, but
asfthe choice will be between the
democratic and republican candi
dates, the acme af reason would de
mand a vote for the ticket of the
one of these two parties that is least
objectionable to that sense Of duty.
In all that pertains to the busi
ness of government, foreign policy,
constitutional requirements, Ameri
can doctrine, our commercial affairs
at home and abroad, our sources of
revenue, relations with other gov
ernments, etc., the platforms of the
republican and democratic parties
encompass the situation. If one of
these is obnoxious, the other cer
tainly meets the requirements. If
neither suits, certainly none of the
minor parties can be satisfactory.
The republican party being now
in power, controlling the machinery
of federal politics, a vote that is not
for democracy is practically in favor
of republicanism.
There are good men and true in
the republican party, but no really
good man will profess to be a demo
crat while doing republican service.
There is nothing in Georgia or
elsewhere that prevents a man from
affiliating with whatever political
party comes nearest voicing his
views as to principle and policy.
The man deceives himself, but not
others, who says he must act with
any party because of some social
condition disconnected with politi
cal principle or policy.
We regret that there are men in
Georgia, editors as well as politi
cians, who declare themselves demo
crats while they talk continually in
a way to "gain votes for the republi
can ticket. This is neither good
politics nor good morals.
In this contest every man will
help republicanism who fails to help
democracy.
The tax digests of thirty Georgia
counties show a gain of $2,000,000
in property values over the returns
of the same counties for 1899. The
Atlanta Constitution estimates that
the total gain in Georgia tax values
will be at least ten million dollars,
and says it is quite probable that
there will be a material reduction in
the state tax rate.
Investigation by the post-office
department discloses the fact that
the embezzlements of Neely, in the
Cuban postal department, aggregate
$131,713: In this investigation it
was found that Director General
Rathbone unlawfully appropriated
to his Own use money from the Cu
ban revenues, and he was also re
moved from office. The demand is
now made from all sections of the
country that these men be brought
to speedy trial, .
An organization for the purpose
of carrying negroes to Africa has
been forked at Birmingham, Ala.
The plan is to have negroes who de
sire to go to Africa become members
of the society, and pay in periodical
subscriptions, and when a sufficient
number and enough money is se
cured, a ship will bAchartered and a
cargo-of blacks will be sent to Libe
ria. Lee Cowart is president of this
“Liberian Colonization Society,” and
D. J. Flowers general mimager.
The Situation in China.
Since the defeat of the Chinese at
Tien Tsin, there has been no fight
ing between the allied troops and
the Chinese, though the crusade
against foreigners continues. The
Chinese declaration that foreign offi
cials In Pekin were alive ten days
ago is discredited entirely, or be
lieved that they are held as hostages,
to prevent an advance upon and cap
ture of Pekin.
Of the situation, our Washington
correspondent writes:
“It is believed here that some
thing definite will be known in re
gard to China by the end of this
week. Earl Li has declared that the
ministers are safe and on their way
to the coast, and this statement
should be proved or disproved be
fore long. At present, the state de
partment does net know what to
think. Officially,It accepts Minister
Wu’s reports as accurate and—-con
tinues to send troops to China and
to urge an advance on Pekin by the
allies. There is no doubt that what
news has has been received recently
tends to discredit Chkese represen
tations, which offer no proof and
may depend entirely on mere asser
tion. Admiral Keinpff has cabled
positively that the Imperial authori
ties are in sympathy with the Box
ers, and that, anyway, they are pow
erless, and incapable of controlling
the situation. This is the first offi
cial declaration to reach the United
States government contradictory of
the Chinese representations that the
Imperial government had steadfast
ly and from the first opposed the
Boxer movement. Exchanges in con
stant progress between the powers
are tending more and more to cast
suspicion upon the genuineness of
the many communications that have
come from Pekin through Chinese
government sources. If it should be
established that there has been an
attempt on the part of the Chinese
to practice a gigantic fraud upon
the world, this fact may . call for a
change of attitude on the part of
the United States government to
ward Chiria. This would not affect
the military policy already under
way, but merely the technical rela
tions between the two governments,
which would closely approximate a
state of formal war.”

It was never before known to decay,
so rapidly. Shipments north have

The agricultural department
Georgia,- under the direction
Commissioner Stevens, is preparing
a-work that will give a complete ac
count of the resources and advan
tages of the state, with information
of every kind that might be desired
by citizens of the state, or by others
who contemplate- seeking homes
within the borders of Georgia. The
assistance of intelligent citizens in
every county is desired, and to that
end a circular with classified ques
tions has been prepared and sent
out. This work will be valuable to
the state.

The minutes of last meeting hav
ing been read, Dr. Holtzclaw, for the
committee on purchasing a tent, re
ported that the tent had been pur
chased and put up. The Union ac
cepted it and discharged the com
mittee. Bro. J. D. Martin, as treas
urer, reported that nearly all the
churches had contributed very liber
ally, and with the amounts collected
at this meeting enough had been
collected to fully pay for the tent.
He also reported $25.22 in his hands
for the general use in the work of
the Union.
Bro. J. D. Martin, as chairman of
the executive committee, reported
that we had secured the services of
Rev. ~W. H. Norton to preach once a
month at Hayneville, and that he
reports some progress and congre
gations increasing. He was to have
begun a meeting there to-dav; sup
pose he is on hand. The Union pays
him $5 per month to pay his ex
penses, he having all contributions
by the church to add to his salary.
Reports from the different church
es were made and were very encour
aging, several churches having held
protracted services in which the
Holy Spirit was made manifest and
the churches greatly built up,
Bro. Cutts gave a verj pleasing
and instructive talk on the subject:
Do the Scriptures require the sup
porting of the Gospel? If so,
1. When?
2. Where?
3. By whom?
Brethren W. J. Holtzclaw, J. D
Martin and J. O. Sandefur were ap
pointed a committee to arrange pro
gramme for our next meeting.
By invitation from the Houston
Factory church, thB Union, by unan
imous vote, agreed to meet with
them Saturday and Sunday, Septem
ber 29th and 30th, 1900.
Dr. W. J. Holtzclaw preached to
a large congregation at 8 p. m.
Sunday morning at 9:30 we were
favored with a most excellent talk
by Bro. L. T. Stallings of Macon on
the subject: Sabbath Schools; their
aims and results. The Union was
greatly pleased and edified by it,
Bro. J. D. Martin conducted a song
service of 30 minutes.
When the hour for the morning
sermon arrived, the disturbance
caused by the heavy rain then fall
ing was so great it was found to b
impossible to proceed. So after en
joying jjsome special selections of
songs, adjourned for dinner.
At 2 p. m., after a season of sing
ing and prayer, Rev. W. L. Cutts
preached a most excellent sermon on
the subject of “ Helping.” At the
close of Bro. Cutts’ sermon, a dedi
cation prayer was offered by Dr. W.
J. Holtzclaw, dedicating the tent to
God’s service.
A resolntion of thanks was extend
ed to the good people of Hattie and
vicinity, who, regardless of denomi
nation or creed, so kindly and gra
ciously contributed to the entertain
ment of the Union. The benediction
was then pronounced by Bro. Cutts,
thus ending one of the pleasantest
and most profitable meetings of the
Union.
There was a bountiful and most
excellent dinner on the grounds each
