Sunday-school. These gentlemen held similar

.COMMENCEMENT.
Grand Ssiccea* of the Ntadentaof the
Oakland Seminary at Conyers,
Ga.-Politic* In General.
The commencement exercises of the Oakland
Seminary was largely attended throughout the
entire three days, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, by the many friends of the students,
who have acquired tn ch proficiency at this
grand old Institute, under the leadership of
unexcelled teachers, Professor A. F. Moon and
Miss Alice Lawson,and Mrs. Adair, in charge of
the Primary department, also intrumental
music.
The rostrum and parlor where the exercises
took place were brilliantly illuminated and gaily
decorated with the many works of arts which
were so tastefully arranged in groups around
the stage, were the production of the beautiful
young ladies who were present on the stage,
whose talents have developed to perfection under
the care they have received. To describe the
stage and surroundings would require the pen
of some gifted artist. Tour correspondent is
accustomed to seeing beauty in all it glory, but
the many young ladies whs were congregated
on the stage, their eyes bright with expectation,
their cheeks flushed with pride and the very
slight glow of excitement that would occasion
ally flash over their countenances, only made
them more bewitching and their actions more
expressive. Many young ladies, and also young
gentlemen (for it will De remembered that this
is a male and female institute), earned fame
and showed perfection in their elegant and ex
pressive rendition of the'r recitations ; and oc
cupying prominent places on the stage, they
seemed to be the embodiment of perfect grace
and beauty.
The programme for the days of Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday was rendered, and the
long continued applause which greeted each
rendition and each musical effort showed the
appreciation of the vast audience.
The entire programme was rendered well and
nothing that canid be said here was partial to
wards any single one, as all parts were acted
acted veil, and worthy of the applause rendered.
And just here too much cannot be said in praise
of these teachers—having taken this school and
by their untiring efforts built it up to one of the
best in the country. In proof of his wonderful
ability as a teacher I’rot. Moore with this term
severs his connection with this school to take
charge of a college in Tennessee- Thus It will
be seen that his reputation is national, and no
more can be said of him than of his assistants,
who have never ceased to labor with him for the
advancement of this school. The Professor
will carry with him the well wishes of his many
friends here.
The Board of Trustees have elected to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of Prof.
Moon, a Mr. Murry, of Marietta, who comes
well recommended and will no doubt fill it to
the entire satisfaction of the patrons and friends
of the institute.
Everything in the pelitical line is quiet since
the primary election Saturday for State Sena
tor tn which Hon. Win. L. Peek was elected
and Judge A. C. McCalla was defeated. Col.
Peek has been in the House for several terms
and will make a good Senator. He it was who
introduced Rockdale’s prohibition bill that made
it a dry county, entirely stopping the manufac
ture and sale. While nothing can bo said
against Judge A. C. McCalla, the defeated can
didate. He is an able lawyer and served four
years as the first ordinary of Rockdale county
and would have made as good a Senator as Col.
Peek.
As between General Gordon and Hon. A. O.
Bacon, the county seems $ be pretty well di
vided, though our opinion is that General Gor
don will carry the county if left to a primary,
but this is from a Gordon standpoint and there
are others who believe that Bacon will carry
the county. Time only can tell. The execu
tive committee have not ordered the election
yet. K.

TUB EVENING CAPITOL; ATLANTA. GA. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1886
WOMAN’S* SVFFKAGE DISCLAIMED.
The Woman’s Christian Temperance
4'Siou Again “Ki*e* to Explain.”
Editor Evssora Capitol:
Dear Sir—Once more I ask space in your col
umns for two or three statements concerning
the plans and principles of the Woman’s Chris
tian Temperance Cnion of Georgia, leaving you
and others to determine whether we incorporate
woman’s suffrage in our creed or practical
efforts.
At our second annual convention, held at Au
gusta in January, 1884, we adopted the follow
ing plans, principles and resolutions, which I
clip from our minutes and ask you to copy:
rBIh'CIFLXS, FLANS AND BXSOLI'TIONS.
The following ig the report of the committee
on principles, plans and resolutions:
We the members of the Woman’s Christian
Temperance L’nion of Georgia, assembled in our
State Convention, invoking the guidance of our
Heavenly Father, and reiving wholly upon His
strength, do adopt the following principles, plans
and resolutions:
PINCIPLKB.
We believe in Prohibition by law, and total
abstinence by practice, but recognizing the fra
ilty ana weakness of our human nature, we only
hope to accomplish these by the power of God’s
sustaining graces relying upon prayer, study
of Sacred Scriptures, and earnest Christian
effort.
PLANS.
Ist. Preventive, including heredity, which
shows the close relation of natal inheritance to
the terrible appetite for liquor; hygiene—teach
ing, in addition to, and explanatory of Divine
law, the rules of health as formulated by medi
cal science, which inculcates the great import
ance of temperate habits.
2d. Educational—embracing scientific instruc
tion, temperance literature, influencing the
press, relative statistics, conference with eccle
siastical, Sunday School, educational, and other
associations; juvenile work, including temper
ance schools, Bands of Hope, training and in
dustrial schools.
3d. Evangelist—which embraces prison and
jail work; work among railrod employes; se
curing the use of unfermented wine at the Lord’s
table; securing day of prayer in week of prayer;
Bible readings; work among the colored people.
4th. Social —As yeung Woman’s Work, par
lor meetings, flower mission, State and county
fairs.
RESOLUTIONS.
Whibias, We do honestly believe that the
legalized manufacture and sale of intoxicants
is an inexpressible evil, and a national shame,
That the Woman’s Christian Tem
perance Union of Georgia do earnestly appeal
to all Christians to aid us in our efforts, by leg
islative enactment and otherwise, to banish the
accursed thing from our State and nation.
Resolved, That we do invoke the aid of all
temperance organizations in petitioning our
Legislature for prohibitory laws, and that we
never cease our efforts until Georgia is a prohi
bition State.
Resolved, That we petition the officers of
State and county fairs to discourage the manu
facture of intoxicantsaby offering no premiums
for wines and liquors
Resolved, That as intemperance is recognized
as the greatest obstacle to the progress of the
Gospel, and to the coming of the Lord’s King
dom, we earnestly entreat all Christian minis
ters to bring this subject often tn the attnition
of their congregations, and invite their personal
influence in all laudable effnrts tn banish this
great evil.
Resolved, That as early impressions are the
most lasting, and as it is easier as well as wiser
t* form than to reform, we ask the co-operation
of all who have the training of children to aid ns
In teaching the dear little ones the advantages,
physical, mental and spiritual, of temperance;
and the inevitable moral and physical evils re
sulting from intemperate habits.
Resolved, That recognizing the great power
of the press, and the essential importance of
temperance papers, we most heartily recommend
to the members of the W. C. T. J., and to the
public at large, our national organ, The Union
Signal, published at Chicago, and the Temper
ance Advocate, published in Atlanta, Ga.
So closely have we adhered to the foregoing
plans, principles and resolutions that they were
re-adopted at Columbus in 1885, and again at
Macon at our recent State convention. No
other line of work has been added, except that
at our recent annual meeting we adopted the
department of “Social Purity Co-operating with
the Whitecross Army,” of which highly impor
tant and sacred work our beloved Mrs. M. N.
Calloway has been elected the superintendent in
Atlant*.
Do you see anything in the foregoing plat
form savoring of woman’s suffrage?
Moreover, let me call your attention to the
following, found in the Wesleyan Christian Ad
vocate of April 28th* It is an extract from a
long and able editorial written by the editor,
Dr. Wyman H. Patter, concerning the recent
W.C. T. U. Convention at Macon:
“Considering the tendency of the times, and
the temptations therete, they have kept singu
larly free from all alliance with party politics;
wherever such tendency has manifested itself,
it has been checked up very promptly by the
executive officer* or by the membership in con
vention. They are seeking the good of men,
not the offices of the country. 0n the second
day of the Convention, last week, a gentleman
visitor from a distant State, in a short address
sought to inject into the party the subject of
woman suffrage, but Mri. Chapin with great
gentleness, but decisively waived it out of the
meeting.”
And who more competetent to represent
Southern sentiment than Mrs. Chapin, of South
Carolina, superintendent of W. C. T. U. work
in the South?
I have one more article, reserved for another
time, showing the States’ Rights feature of the
National and State W. C. T. U.

Laziness.
This vice is worse than whiskey. “Mister,”
said a regular, go-ahead, active and persever
ing Yankee to a lazy drone, who was lounging
about, scarcely to be identified as being alive
by his motion, “did vou ever see a snail?”
“Y-e-s, I rather think I have,” said Mr.
Drorc.
“Then,” replied Jonathan, “vou have MET
it, for Jerusalem ! you’ve never overtook one.”
We leave it to the public to say if we are
drones.
D.H.DOUGHERTY&Co.
Last week we were completely overwhelmed with business. It was due to but one fact. We
advertised enormous bargains, had the g< ods and the people came to see about it. It didn’t take
long to find it and the real truth is cur trade has been better than for three long years. We
ask a kindly consideration for what we offer this week.
Our MR, DOUGHERI Y has just returned from New York, and this accounts for our bar
gains. He had the money to buy them, paid the cash right out, and now you can get the benefit
of every cent of his New York reductions.
We have all we advertise and at the prices mentioned. Our Bargains last all the week.
25 CENTS!
25 Cents for a sp’endid unlaundred write shirt for men. We are ashamed to mention the’
prices, but we have plenty of them, and they are selling fast, for they are cheap at 45c, or 50c.
LINEN CRASH.
Cents for a good pure linen crash. These goods are worth Bc, and had they been bought in
the regular way we could not sell them less.
HALF HOSE FIVE CENTS.
5 Cents a pair for a beautiful stripped and fancy for men. These goods are cheap at
10c. This is another auction lot, but they are all perfect and fresh goods.
New rushing, new dress goods. Immense nargains in black cashmeres.
NEW GOSSIMEKES.
100 Beautiful silver shade gossimeres for ladies at $1 each, worth $1.75. '
BOYS’ WAISTS.
Big drives in these goods. Quantities are given away.
5 CENTS.
sc. At this price we guarantee to show the handsomest figured muslin in the State; pat
terns exquisite and colors fast. Don’t buy Black Cashmeres until you see ours.
Silksl Silks I Silks I
50c. for Black and Colored Silks, never sold by us befere for less than 75c. Our Silk coun-
Hers are stacked high, and no house here ejer showed such elegant Goods.
CORSETS I
Silk Embroidered.
Heavy material, fit as nice as a kid glove. Regular price, 40c. We bought them as a job, and
we are selling them at 25c. This is what we call a bargain. These' goods are selling rapidly,
and you need not expect to find them if you stay away a week and then call for them. Think of.
the price, 25 cents.
TABLE LINEN!
1 job lot of bleached Table Damask, 58 inches wide, all pure flax; never sold by us before for
less than 50c. per yard, now being sold at 25c. Think of the width and price. We have the same
width and quality in an unbleached for the same price. These goods were bought at auction sale
or they would not be offered for one cent less than 50c. per yard.
FOR WORKINGMEN.
25c. for a pair of Overalls, in blue and drab, cut large and full size, with pockets, extra heavy
material, and you can’t buy the stuff to make them for less than 42c. a pair. Beautiful checked
and plaid Overshirts at the same rediculous price of 25c. each.
We want everybody who needs Overalls and Overshirts to call and see the above goods, and
you won’t be answered that we are just out, for we don’t do things that way. We know that
what little reputation we hare is at stake, and we can’t afford to trifle it upon a newspaper adver
tisement.
PIQUES.
for a solid Chambray, never sold by us under 10c. before. Goods perfect in every man
ner, and color fast. New and handsome Crinkle Cloths. Beautiful new Dress Plaid Gingham.
HOW IS THIS?
2% and sc. for figured muslin, warranted fast colors; styles and patters as good as in our 10
and 12J4c. goods.
PRINTS. PRINTS.
for splendid Prints.
TOWELS I
10c. At this price we sell the biggest Towel for the price to be found in America. Every
one of them is worth 15c., but they were bought cheap, and we are giving to our trade the advan
tage of our luck.
NEW WHITE GOODS.
And awful inducements are being shown the trade here. You may look for bargains in this de
partment. Just listen :
for good white Victoria Lawn.
5, 6%, 8 and 10c. At these prices our white Victoria Lawns are 20 per cent, better than any
thing in the market.
5, and 10c. for checked Nainsooks, worth 25 per cent, more money.
India Mulls, Muslin de Ireland, plain soft Nainsooks, Linen de India and Silk Mulls in great
variety, and the prices are fearfully off frem the early season. No doubt you will think our Mr.
Dougherty swindled some one out of these goods on his last trip to market. But they are bar
gains all the same, and don’t you forget it.
Bed Spreads and Quilts.
50c. for a beautiful large white fringe spread, never sold by us before for less than 75e. 75c.,
$1 and $1.25; at these prices we challenge any house south of the Potomac to show a white quilt
that is as large and as handsome a pattern fer 15, 20 and 25c. more money.
KID GLOVES I
$1.50 for a pair of beautiful 6-button length mosquetaire Kid Gloves in all the best shades.
50c. for a kid glove worth $1 a pair.
HOSIERY I
50 doz. full, regular made hose for ladies, in all colors, at 25c. a pair. These goods could not
be bought in the regular channel and sold for less than 40c. a pair. This entire department has
been revolutionized and filled with new goods; we have too many bargains ir this department to enu
merate them all here. We can only say, if you intend buying hosiery of any kind, and low prices
have anything to do in helping you to tnak- vour purchases, then you can’t afford to pass us.
Forly-lw Hu Boys' Sim Hals I
Great variety of styles and quality, being sold at 10c. apiece for choice. They are worth
from 20 to 50c. This is another auction lot, or we could not sell them for three times as much
money. Come and buy your boys’ Hats while they are cheap. When they are gone we will have
no more.
Dress Goods.
It is not our intention to impress upon your mind that we are giving things away, for we can
not do it, you know. No, not while paper and twine cost anything, we can’t do it, you know, but
you will find some awfully off prices m this department, we know. sc. for a splendid double
width 34-inch figured nuns veiling: these goods in the early seasons would sell for 12% to 15c. per
yard. 3%c. for handsome figured cotton brocades. Also immense shipments in fine wool dress
goods and silks and combination dress goods, being sold at about two-thirds former prices. 75c.
and $1: at these two '-gures we sell a large size pure linen Napkin, which we challenge the market
to match at $1 and $1.50: these are unmatcbable prices.
Look out for some real land slides. Cut rates are the order in this department. New Egyp
tian, all over, Flouncings and Laces. New Hamburg Embroideries. New nobby Neckwear for
men and bovs.
D. H. DOUGHERTY & CO.

All Treated AIH
During the bathing setson, a pompus indi
vidual walked up to the office of a seaside hotel,
and with a considerable flourish signed the
books, and in a loud Voice exclaimed: “I’m Lieu
tenant Governor, of .”
“That don’t make any difference,” says the
landlord, “you will b« treated just as well as the.
others.”
Our motto is to treat everybody alike, and it?
might be well to make a note of this.
