Thanks to Jesse Pate.
On last Tuesday morning Thu News
received a nice basket of fine grapes
from Mr. Jesse Pate, of Carl, this coun
ty. To say that they were appreciated
is expressing it but mildly. The
grapes themselves were as nice as nice
could be, and then the fact that so good
a fellow as Jesse Pate sent them added
to their flavor. They were large and
luscious, sweet and tender.
Jesse is raising grapes for the mar
ket, and if all he has are as nice as
those he sent to this office, he ought to
be able to get his own price for them.
All other kinds of fruit were cut oft' by
the late, cold spring, and it seems tons
that grapes of the Jesse Pate variety
ought to bring a good price in any
market.
Again, we thank Jesse for the treat,
and if at any time he wants anything
out of this office all he has to do is to
let it be known.
Charley Brand at Buford Aug .‘l.
It was a large and appeciative audi
ence that met Col. ilrand. Esq. Cloud
was called to the chair and introduced
Col. Brand in a few well chosen words.
Col. Brand lost no time in coming to
buisness, and his whole speech was a
safe, clear and equitable solution of the
political questions now confronting
the people. Founded on truth, his
points, handled by a master hand, were
well taken. He was frequently inter
rupted by tremendous applause from
the democratic side, and even a few
fair-minded popolists cheered him oc
casionally. They asked questions, and
Charley answered them readily, show
ing them that they were in the wrong.
Editor Irving followed fn a speech
of an hour and a half, lie talked about
the populist chestnuts, and then said
that he was sorry he did not have time
to tackle the railrord plank.
Col. Brand closed in a b autiful
speech of thirty minutes. After he
was done speaking he was surrounded
by a large number of good men who
congratulated him on his able speech,
and assured him of the good effect it
would have. It was the opinion of
many people that it was the finest
speech ever heard from a political ros
trum in Gwinnett county.
Jubilant Democracy.
It was a representative crowd of
j democrats that assembled at the
court house in Lawrenceville last Tues
| day. It was representative, not only
in numbers and intelligence, but in
j old-time democratic enthusiasm as
well. The uncommonly large vote
polled in Saturday’s primary has open
ed the eyes of the people to the fact
! that third partyism is practically dead
I in Gwinnett county, and on Tuesday
nearly everybody came to town to see
and hear all that would be done and
j said for the party.
It would not be stretching the blan
| ket to say v hundred people
| were in, Iff JvAoiirt house was
crowded t * M capacity, and

followed by a soul-stirring quick-step
from the band.
• After the music had died away, Chair
man county democratic
executive <“ hittee, arose and stated
that tlnj Tj'finVhing in order was the
election ■f U Lpiairman. On motion T.
M. Peeples was made chairman of the
meeting, and Geo. D, Rucker secretary.
By request, C. H. Brand read the re
sult of fast Saturday’s primary. When
he announced that 1847 votes had been
| polled, the audience cheered loudly.
The liext thing in order was the elec
tion of a county executive committee
for the ensuing two years.
On motion of Col. C. H. Brand, it
was decided that the chairman appoint
a committee', composed of two men
from each district, to decide upon the
proper men to secure a committeemen.
Carried.
.1. T. Baxter moved to give the com
mittee power to appoint three execu
tive committeemen in each district.
Carried.
Col. Peeples, in a felicitous speech,
introduced Col. Clay to the audience.,
CoL Clay spoke first in reference to
charges made against himself. He re
ferred to several charges made against
him, and he refuted them amidst a per
fect storm of applause.
Then he branched out into his speech
and showed up third partyism in all of
its hideous forms.
Col. Clay took up the record of the
third party in congress and showed
that four populists had introduced four
bills which, if put into law, would
bankrupt, not. only the United States,
but the entire world. At this state
ment the crowd cheered wildly, and
Col. Tom Winn, who was sitting in a
remote corner of the room, arose and
asked to be allowed to ask a question.
Of course Clay granted the privilege
and then Col. Tom asked :
“Col Clay, do you hold flip people’s
party responsible for’what those four
fellows have done ?”
“Of course I do. (Applause.) There
are only nine of your party in congress
and these four have introduced bills
which, if enacted into law, would bank
rupt the world. My God, man, what
would your party do if they could con
trol congress ?” (Loud and prolonged
applause.) Clay then proceeded to
show the silliness of the third party
platform. He said that it called forthe
purchase of the telegraph lines and
telephones of the United States, and
asked the farmers of the south to vote
for such legislation, in the teeth of the
fact that not one farmer in ten ever
used either the telegraph or telephone.
Next he turned his attention to the
money question. “The government,”
said he, “cannot support the people,
and the sooner the people find out that
they must support the government the
better it will be. There is an idea run
ning in southern soil that the govern
ment has the power to stamp rocks and
chips and paper and make money out
of them. We ought to pull that idea
up by the roots and sun-dry it, that it
may not be allowed to take root in
southern soil.”
“Col. Clay,” broke in Col. Winn
again, “do you mean to say that the
government has not the power to make
money out of paper?”
“I mean to say that the government
has the right to make anything money
if they will make good money, but it«
has no moral right to defraud the peo
ple by issuing worthless money. (Ap
plause.) Paper money, without coin
to redeem it, is worthless.”
He then recited the story of the con
federate soldier who, having a sack
full of confederate money, and being
pressed by the yanks, shook the money
out of the sack, that he might be able
to save the sack. This comparison
brought forth tremendous applause
which lasted nearly a minute. Col.
Winn did not ask any more questions,
and Col. Clay was allowed to proceed
without further interference.
His peroration was a beautiful flight
of oratory. “I was in Chicago and saw
five thousand people on a strike. I
thought of the hills and valleys of Geor
gia and thanked God that their haunts
were mv home. I saw starvation in
that city and turning my eyes to Geor
gia I saw a happy, contented people,
dwelling tn peace, without any strikes
or the semblance of anarchy, and I said
thank God for Georgia and her law
aud order loving people.”
When Col. Clay sat down the cheer- J
ing lasted fully a minute, and then
everybody wentupand shook the speak
er’s hand and assured him of the fact I
that he had made a mash on the crowd.
The band struck up “Dixie” and the
meeting was adjourned one hour for
dinner,
Afternoon Sewion.
At two o’clock, p. m., Chairman Pee
ples rapped the gavel and called the
convention to order. The committee
appointed to decide upon suitable per
sons to act as executive committee for
the next two years announced ready to
report. The manuscript containing
names of committeemen was misplaced
but will be published laterer.
The next thing in order was the
report of the district clubs. The sec
retary called the roll of districts, and
the following reports were handed in :

dent; R. B. Whitworth, Ist vice presi

After the foregoing reports had been
received Col. C. H. Brand moved that
the democrats of Gwinnett county
have a grand barbecue at Lawrence
ville sometime between now and the
first Wednesday in October. The
chairman appointed a committee to de
cide upon the time for holding the
barbecue. The committee decided to
.have it on Wednesday, the 19 day of
September, at Lawrenceville. All the
democratic of the county are expected
to help get up funds to pay for the bar
becue.
The following resolutions, introduced
by Geo. D. Rucker, was unanimously
adopted:
“Resolved, by the the democracy of
Gwinnett county, in mass-meeting as
sembled, That we do hereby tender our
thanks to the Hon. A. 8. Clay, of Cobb
county, for the very aide, manly anil
convincing democrat!* speech which
he has this day delivered to our people;
and we beg to assure him that we hold
him in very highest esteem.”
The following resolution, introduced
by Hon. L. F. McDonald, was unani
mously passed :
“Resolved, by the democracy of
Gwinnett county, in mass-meeting as
sembled, That we do heartily endorse
the platform adopted by the conven
tion, and we pledge our support to the
nominees of that convention.”
Adjourned.
A Query.
A gedtleman from Atlanta who is
visiting a citizen of Martin’s district,
spent Saturday at Sncllville. He has
heard that a large number of populists
resided round about there and was sur
prised to find only one pronounced
populist and one independent who will
vote for the men he considers best on
both tickets at the general election in
November.
A large crowd was aroupd the,polls
all day, but they were dyed-in-the-wool
democrats who will help to roll up a
majority so large in November that the
populists will heard from
thereafter.
The question now is, “where are the
populists of Cates district at ?”
Baptized and Married.
Ce.vthkvili.k, Ga., Aug. 6,1894. —Ed-
itokNews: The oldest church goers
had not witnessed such a spectacle as
was presented at Zoar M. E. church on
Sunday, August sth. It was simply
wonderful. Twelve of our fair and
beautiful maidens and twelve of our
young men walked to the altar and
there had the solemn ceremony read to
them from the discipline of the church
and all in concert answered amen to
the laws of the church, and upon their
knees were baptized. I assure you, Mr.
Editor, it was a grand sight to behold.
And, to cap the climax, just after the
baptizing was over, oneof the beautiful
young ladies, Miss Dora Grizzard, was
escorted to the altar, and there iti the
holy bonds of matrimony was united
in marriage to Mr. Cleve Hammond, of
Atlanta.
Old members of the church say this
was the grandest sight ever witnessed
here. Rev. T. P. Graham, the pastor
in charge at Zoar, is completely carried
aw r ay. He says it was the grandest act
of his life. The young ladies—God
bless them—l must say, looked very
sweet, and the young men seemed in
earnest.
Young men, these are solemn obliga
tions you have taken. Keep them ever
fresh in your minds, and by so doing
you will never be led astray. Do noth
ing that would disgrace your church,
attend its services regularly, ever be
ready to lend a helping hand to any
thing that pertains to the welfare of
your church or religion.
Words cannot express the feeling
that existed in the church when the
right hand of fellowship was extended
and all Christians were-invited to join
in.
It was a glorious meeting, and every
thing passed off nicely, but myself,
poor Joe, Griff and Jim, as usual, were
left out in the cold; but we hope there
is a better day coming for us. There
are several hard cases in this communi
ty, but 1 don’t think we are too hard to
be saved.
The church, as well as the parents of
these young disciples, have a great du
ty to perform—that is, to see that they
strictly adhere to the laws and princi
ples of the church. They must remem
ber that some of them are quite young
and are liable to be misled. Mr. Edi
tor, twistiflcation, harp-blowing and
i the fiddle certainly received a black
j eye here last Sunday.
Now t word concerning Rev T, IL
Graham, the pastor, and Mr. Brady,
the superintendent of the Sunday
school, and the good members of the
church. They have our heart-felt
thanks for this great and good work.
These thanks are not presented by one
individual, but by the community at
large. May the good work go on until
the whole of old Rockbridge shall be
converted. Let everybody turn out and
lend a helping hand and have a glori
ous revival. Guess.

S. Williams, Gainesville, R. o.Medlock.
Norcross, Robert F. Quillian, Belton
and T. P. Teets, Gumming.
The following are the most impor
tant reports and resolutions from the
different committees:
Committe on Sunday school, Educa
tion and Publishing interest.—What
ever difference of opinion exist on
economic, social anil moral question
and there is much difference, causing
great confusion at times and in many
places imperilling the supremacy of
law and the existence of social order
yet the sentiment in favor of universal
education seems to be a unit every
where.
Our church true to its traditions and
the example of its illustrious founder
is in the van of the movement for
Christian culture. Most heartily com
mending all the educational itstitu
tions of our church, let it be remem
bered that these institutions must
continue to be supported and main
tained by the voluntary action of the
people—mainly by the Methodist.
Duty, interest, gratitude and loyalty
all conspire to demand our most ear
nest and zealous support.
The public school system is com
mended for its increasing efficiency.
The General Conference action in
establishing a General Hoard of Edu
cation for the unification of our de
nominational endeavor in interesting
the people is commended. “Surely
with the primary instructions of Chris
tian mothers in the nursery, Sunday
school teaching in the church, the
public schools established by law ***
our institutions and seminaries, col
leges male * female, of the best grade
the education of the people generally
ought not be afar off.”
We most heartily commend so every
Methodist family and others in the
district, the Wesleyan Christian Advo
cate, and we note with pleasure the
continued popular favor it is winning.
We favor the use of our own hymn
book, Sunday school literature, and all
of our own publications preferably.
We are glad to be able to report an
advance in Sunday school work in in
creased numbers of schools, larger
number~of children gathered in our
schools, an effort for better preparation
of the lessons and an increase in the
number of schools usingourown litera
ture. Of nineteen schools in the dis
trict, only three schools are not using
our literature. Children’s Day was
not generally observed, and missionary
societies of the schools are urged, as
provided in f 214 of the discipline.
“This District Conference approves
the establishment of the Kpworth Era
and the election of Hev. 8. A. Steelo, D.
I sought office nor declined a duty.”
Committee on Quarterly Conference
| Records.—l'pon the whole we are
j pleased to say that most all of the rec
[ ords have been pretty well kept and
I show some degree of painstaking,
worthy of the importance of this work
There is a marked improvement in
most all the records over former years.
Attention is cAlled to the importance
of complete official rolls and full min
utes in every particular.
Committee on Missions.—There are
at present, to missions in the Gaines
ville District —Bellton and Gwinnett.
Your committee is gratified at the
progress being made in this territory.
The line of work being pursued de
serves mention, especially that on the
Bellton mission served not only by a
consecrated pastor, hut a number of
Godly men and women. They are
thoroughly working the whole territo
ry. We believe if the right line of
work is pursued for a few years longer
we will have selfsustaining churches;
furthermore that this may he done
much more quickly, by organizing the
Sunday school into Missionary socie
ties. thereby educating our young peo
ple in reference to their duty in sup
porting the gospel.
We recommend the continuance of
Bellton and Gwinnett and the addition
of Sn-llville and Hall circuits as miss-
Committce on General Stale of the
Church.—The general state of the)
church, in many respects, when con
trasted with the past, is good; almost
every charge reporting progress along
some lines. The revival spirit seems
to be burning in many hearts, and un
der (lie influence of the Holy Ghost
there lias been a considerable gain
in spirituality. Great results may be
expected in (lie district before the An- j
nual Conference convenes. IVacc and i
harmony prevail in all parts, and the
pastors stand shoulder to shoulder in
the work of savingsouls. The laymen in j
the district are coming up to the help of
the pulpit in this nobh work as never
before in the history of the church;
and with a Holy Ghost ministry rein
forced by consecrated men and women,
under the divine guidance of the great
head of the church, we expect, to take
this district for our captain. Four
hundred and twenty-eight have been ,
received thus far this year. Forty
three infants have been dedicated to
God in holy baptism.
There arc seventy-four clinches in
the district, most of them reported to j
be in good condition.
Resolved 1, Tlml we encourage our
people to dedicate their children, while i
infants, to the Lord in holy baptism.
Resolved 2, That we will emphasize
the necessity of family religion—an al
lar in every household.
Resolved 3, That we believe it to be
the duty of the preacher in charge to
open the doors of the church at least
once on each Lord’s Day.
Resolution of thanks to the pastor
and good people of Norcross for the
royal and hospitable entertainment
given the district conference; the rail
roads for courtesies; the presiding el
der, Rev. M.J. Cofcr, and Rev. G. W.
Morgan, secretary,for the genial, faith- I
ful, patient., and able manner in which j
they discharged, their duties, were all
passed with rising votes.
The following report from the tem
perance eammittee was adopted with a
rising vote and much enthusiasm ;
Whereas we regard the liquor I rattle
as the great evil of our land—subtile
in influence, malignant in spirit, op
posed to God, opposed to the progress
of the church, and the good of man
kind in general—and
Whereas we believe it to be the duty
of all true citizens to unite in one com
mon effort to rid our laud of this great
est evils, be it therefore ,
Resolved 1 That the preachers with
in the bounds of the Gainesville dis
trict in charge of circuits and stations,
together with their local bretheren,
pledge themselves to bring the cause
of temperance and prohibition before
the people at all their appointments,
by agitating Hie question, by holding
special temperance meetings and
preaching special temperance sermons.
Resolved 2, That we pledge ourselves
to take immediate steps to organize
the public sentiment of the country
and town in favor of prohibition into
such forms as will make it most effect
ive in securing the common purpose
contemplated by the Slate I’rohibition
Association.
Resolved 3, That we recognize the
position of our church as defined by
the general conference to be one of un
compromising hostility to the manu
facture, sale, and use of intoxicating
liquor as a beverage.
Resolved 4, That we endorse the'
course as the late State Prohibition As
sociation in seeking to secure prohibi
tion by legislative enactment; failing
in this, we favor the submission of a
prohibition constitutional amendment
to the qualified voters of the state, at
an election separate from other elect
ions, and entirely disconnected from
partisan polities; failing in this, we
stand upon local option and the divine
law, whose penalties are sure and eter-1
nal.
Resolved 6, That we endorse and ap
prove the wise, prudent, and aggressive
course of the Wesleyan Christian Ad
vocate in dealing with this question.
By request of I he conference the sec
retary Ims prepared the above for pub
lication in each weekly paper in the
district that will publish the same as
news and for the bent;tit of over 8,000
Methodists in the district, and that our
brethern and sisters in the Lord's
work may know of the tight being
made for Christ.
The preaching was in power and
man were at the alter for the witness
of the spirit and perfect love—the dis
tinctive doctrines of Methodism.
The good people of Norcross will not
soon he forgotten.
