FRIDAY MORNING, MAR. !l, 18S.H. Major John H. lveece, of Rome, is surveying out the road to con gress through Chattooga this week. Col. Cash, the noted duelist of Chesterfield county, S. C., is not dead as reported but is in very fee ble health. James G. Maine positively de clines to he a candidate for presi dent, and says under no circumstan ces will he nqpept the nomination. Candidates for congress from the 7th: Judge Branham, lion. J. C. Clements, Col. (Shumate, Captain Reece, and Co!. I’hiilips. Next! Bessemer, Ala., will be a year old on the sth day of April next, and the 2,000 inhabitants propose to spend $ 10,000 i:t celebrating the infant’s birthday. Maj. \\\ f‘\ Aye! 1 was elected may or of Rome Tuesday, defeating Col. John C. Printup by 30 votes. M. \V. S ay, 11. S. LanSdelJ, Jack King and Hiram 1). lliil were elect ed councilracn. yxAA- - Fair to beheld at Ma - '"con this fall will be the grandest one yet iicld in that city. The railroads propose to carry all agri cultural products free, and very low rates will be given visitors, so it is bound to be a success. Fiddling Governor Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, seems to have rais'd a disturbance in the democratic par ty, and he is severely' criticised by some of the newspapers. He is again a candidate but from present indications he will hardly get the nomination. Col. J. W. Ewing is spoken of as a probable candidate for the legis lature in Floyd couuty. Col. Ewing is a very' popular man and would make a good representative, amlTf Chattooga had a voice in the mat ter he would be elected by “a large majority.” JelF McGrugin, colored, who was tried at LaFayett court last week for the murder of Taylor Camp, was found guilty with a rec ommendation for mercy. It was a close shave for his neck and onlv the strong plea made for him by his counsel, Copeland and Hunt, and a merciful jury saved him. A copy of the News of Feb 24th, | which found its way into Taliaferro j county, created quite a favorable impression of otir resources and ad vantages among the people of that j county. A number of persons who j saw the paper inquired of our pco- i pie, etc. A paper can do a great deal for a community if properly supported. The Birmingham Age, one of the-soc-allcd Democratic protection papers, has come outopenlyagainst Cleveland. We do not believe tiiat it will find any following in this lead, but we must confess that as it opposes the principles and meas ures of the administration, it is consistent in opposing the re-elec tion of President Cleveland. It won’t hurt Cleveland or the Dem ocratic party, but it will vindicate the sincerity of the Age.—Atlanta Journal. The Henry County Times in speaking of the next executive of Georgia lias t his to say' of the con gressman from the sixth congress ional district: James H. Blount should succeed j Gov. Gordon as Governor of Geor gia. He is to-day the most capa- • ble and reliable man for the posi- i tion in the state. Besides, he is en titled to the place for long and faithful services to the people of j Georgia. There is little doubt of! I.is being our next executive. •HENRY POPE. flic Wet) is fo7Bii sironger tlan Be fore-Closing In, The trial of Henry' Pope begun last Monday morning in Chattooga Superior Court, Judge Maddox pre siding. The following gentlemen composed the jury: Jos. Maxcy, Reno Hey,D. B. Franklin,W. D. Gilk eson, R. A. McWhorter, H. J. Fer rer, A. J. Neal, G. A. Ragland, S. J. Hamilton, Jno. C. Martin, I). A. Pledger and P. C. Gaines. The evidence was substantially what it was at the li rst trial with the following exceptions : J. .J. P. Hen ry, John Kellett and -J. W. D. Kellctt swear positively at this trial that they saw Henry' Pope near*thc res idence of Air. Henry on the 30th of January, whereas at the first trial they' were not so positive. They get at the date from the fact that I. IV. I). Kellett was convalescing from the measles, and began work for Mr. Henry' immediately after recovering, as shown by'the book of the latter. Two new witnesses, George Woods and Augustas Hern don, were introduced in behalf of the state. Mr. Woods swore that he went to sec his brother-in-law, | John Turner, on Saturday, the 29th ! j and from there, went to town to get ! some whisky’ ior him as he had the measles. It was Saturday’, the day on which an election was being: I held, and lie could not get the wliis ■ j ky. He went to Dr. Calhoun the 1 next day'(Sunday Jan. 30th) and procured a certificate, got the whis ky’ and returned home. While Ict- I ting down the fence on the side of , the road on his way back to Turn ( er’s-. Pope passed the witness. Pope after passing, was joined by anoth |er darky. This occurred not far from J. J. P. Henry’s where on the - same day, he and the two Mr. Kel . lets sware they also saw Pope pass . by'. Mr. Herndon, another new : witness, swore positively that he • saw Pope asleep in an out house about twq miles from the scene of! . the the afternoon of Site ] 2nd of February, the day before the 1 horrible assault and four days after 1 he was seen by Alessis. Henry, Kel- 1 lett’s, and Wood. The certificate j given by Dr. Calhoun to Mr. Wood |to procure whisky for Mr. Turner! : was produced by Messrs. Johnson i Clemmons, and dated Jan. 30th. Mr. 1 I Herndon scanned the man whom lie . found asleep in the house on Feb. • 2d, and swore positively that the | : prisoner was the man he saw. Mr. ■ Herndon had never seen Pope since , February until this week when he’ Saw him in court and identified him at once. Other coroborating 5 evidence was produced, and Miss ' Kendrick again positively identified! ; Pope as the guilty man. j The Alabama witnesses, for the ■ j defence, with one or two exceptions were not on hand’ although Deputy Sheriff Knox visiting Cherokee i county and endeavored to procure I I their attendance. Their testamony |as transcribed at the former trial jby Stenographer Kikcr, was read, j but as the readers of the News are | familiar with it. it being in these j columns ten months ago, it will not! I be reproduced. V As we go to pr-oss, 10 o’clock a, in., Judge Maddox is charging the jury. Via Raccoon. We are glad to be able to make the announcement that the railroad will be built by Raccoon Factory. I Capt. (’leghorn, bv untiring energy | and effort, has secured the change, i and lie deserves not only the thanks j l of the stockholders of Raccoon Factory but the entire communi! . | as well, for what will benefit the j factory will benefit the people. The j advantages of the change are so ap-1 parent they need not be mentioned. ] The new line will cross the creek i just cast of the factory, and, run- [ ning nearly south for two miles, go through the Sims gap, intersecting the old route near Mr. A. McLeod’s. March April May Are months in which to purify the blood, as the system is noiv most, susceptible to benefit from medi cine. Hence now is the time to ; take Hood’s Sarsaparilla; a medi cine peculiarly adapted for the pur pose, possessing peculiar curative powers. It expclls every impurity from the blood, and also gives it vitality and richness. It creates ; an appetite, tones the digestion, in vigorates the liver, and gives new | life and energy to every function of the body. The testimony of thous ands, as to the great benefit derived from Hood’s Sarsaparilla, should convince everybody that it is pecu liarly the best blood j urifier and spring medicine. 1 THE BAPTISTS. When the very interesting article >f that brilliant young lawyer, Gol. J. G. Hunt, made Its appearance not long since, the undersigned thought of what “the chief of th< Jews” said to Paul. Acts xxvii:22. But our Baptist brethren, always the champions of liberty, will par don me for suggesting that, if “the Baptists flourished thousands of years before Air. Spurgeon’s birth,” there is another denomination that is closer akin to the “sect” then ‘spoken against” than the Baptists themselves. The witnesses that I shall intro duce are all disinterested—not one of them being a member of the de nomination referred to. Dr. Peter Heylin, an Episcopali an rash and rabid, closes his “His tory of the Presbyterians,” with the following soft indictment: “Thus we have seen tile dangerous doc trines and positions, the secret plots and rapines, the tumults, murders and seditions, the horrid treasons and rebellions, which have been raised by the Presbyterians in most parts of Christendom for one hund red years and Upwards,” etc., etc. ' Heylin died in 1002./ i Bancroft, the historian, represents Charles I as saying: “Show me any precedent where presbytorial gov ernment and regal were together • without- perpetual rebellions. And it cannot be otherwise, for the ground of their doctrine is anti monarchical.” At the Hampton Court Confer ence, when Dr. Reynolds was speak ing, the bishop of London “fell on his knee's find begged the king to stop the schismatic’s mouth.” Rey nolds having resumed his remarks, King James broke in with: “You are aiming at a Scots’ presbytery which agreeth as well with fiiori iirchy as God and the devil. Then Jack and Tom and Dick and Will j shall meet, and at their pleasure censure me niul! my council. Then Will shall j - stand up and say, ‘lt must be thus.’ J Then Dick shall reply and say, j ‘Nay’, marry, but we will have it thus;’ and therefore I say, the king j shall decide.” Then turning to the sycophants i that fawned on him, he added: “I will make them conform or I will j i harry them out of the land, or else ; worse—only hang them, that’s all.” The foregoing will suffice to con vince that this old cerulean sect I lias been “spoken against” in prose; and it will not be difficult to show iHi at the “true blue” have been j “spoken against” in poetry also. Butler, in Iludibras, lias “spoken against” them these ruthless rhymes: I “ \ “For his religion, U was lit ! To match his learning ami his wit: j ’Twas Presbyterian true blue. For lie was of that Mr til torn crow I Os errant saints, whom all men grant To bo the true church militant; Such as <h> build their faith upon i The holy text of pike anil gun; j Decide all controversies by Infallible artillery; And prove their doctrine orthodox Ily apostolic blows and knocks; Call tire, and sword, and desolation, A Godly, thorough reformation, !

That with more ('are keep holiday The wrong, than others the right way; j ■ Compound for sins they are inclin’d to, ! \ lly damning those they have no mind I to. | Still so perverse and opposite, | As if they worshiped God for spite.” Dryclen, an apostate Whig, and : j worse—an apostate Puritan—,a I sycophant who fawned on the des-1 | pot Charles 11, and worse—surren j tiered his conscience to the Jesuit ical priests of Rome—;Dryden is ! the author of these words: (jtiickencd with tire below, your mon sters breed, In finny Holland and in fruitful Tweed; And, like the first, the last atfeets to he Drawn from the dregs of a democracy. Put as the poisons o! the deadliest kind Are to their own unhappy coasts con fined, So presbytery, in its pestilential zeal, Can flourish only in a common weal.” Per Contra, who has “spoken . against.” that Baptist, who, far in advance of his age, enunciated the principle, “The civil magistrate should restrain crime, but never controll opinion?” It is a fact, that Rodger Williams’ biography has been recorded by a Presbyterian, but it has been recorded faithfully. According to Brancroft, —and in thjudgement of all who know any thing of the history of these United Stats s—John Wesley has not “spo i ken Against” the Baptists in these j his utterances on receiving “tidings !of the battles of Lexington and i Concord: In spite of all ray Iong rooted prejudices, I cannot avoid thinking these an oppressed people asking for nothing more than tlieii legal rights.” ”Ts it common sens* o use force toward the Americans? L'ney are strong; they are valient; they are one and all enthusiasts— enthusiasts for liberty— calm, de liberate enthusiasts.” “Spoken against?” Yes, the Bap fists have been spoken against; but not lately, and never justly. “Spo ken against?” Yes, the Baptist have been spoken against; but not the Baptist alone. They have been “spoken against” not only ; but persecuted—shame fully, wickedly, cruelly, barbarous ly persecuted. And so have been the Quakers, the Puritans and Cov enanters. “Blood?” Hear! That crimson-colored coin with which oftentimes liberty—civil and relig ious—has been bought, is a coin that Congrc-gationalists have spent. And so have the Lutherans. And George Washington, Episcopalian though he was, and George Mason with all his respect for canonically clad bishops had some money of this sort that they repeatedly offer ed to invest. Observer, I have not spoken against the Baptist; nor did Bancroft when, with reference to the reputed founder, but really only an honored exponent of the Presbyterian system, he said: “He that will not hdnor the memory, and respect the influence of Calvin, knows but little of the origin of American liberty.” Now the point I make is this— not that theirs is a United Church ; for they are not united, and are not likely to unite with any who “deny the faith”--t!ie Presbyterian mil lions all hold to the Scripture doc trine that the visible church is one, while the Baptists cling to the un scriptur.nl and suicidal dogma that each particular church is a separate and independent body. In this re j spect, in my humble judgement, and with none other than the kind i Host feelings towards lily Baptist ! brethren; the Presbyterians are closer akin to the ancient “sect” ] that was everywhere “spoken j against,” than the popular, demo cratic, orthodox, Baptist Churches of the present day. But this is a question for the King to settle. O, for “growing spiritual life.” O, for '‘clearer light oil the one eternal truth.” O, for “a closer cleaving In all things, to him who is the Head even Christ Jesus.” Craving an interest in the pray ers of all my brethren who trust in the merits of the -crucified One, I am *** Simmons Liver Regulator is what the name indicates a “Reg ulator” of that most important or gan, the Liver.

Prohibition in Tennessee. 1 The state prohibition convention | held a short time since in Nashville Tennessee, has done what might { have been expected ultimately. The j convention has pulled the bridle off j and at. one “clear-cut running jump” landed square in the arena of politics. Commenting on the ! action of that convention the Ath j ens Post says.T j “Hereafter the prohibitionists of [ Tennessee will be recognized as a j political organization, seeking after | the loaves and fishes rather than j the betterment of mankind. AY:.at many of its friends have dreaded lias come to pass. As well might the Churches assemble atNashville and decide to put full tickets for political station in the field. As well the cause of religion organize to get control of the offices; for af ter all that is what the State Prohi bitionist now mean. From the day when the first State Prohibition Convention met at the capital city’ there has been a tendency in the di rection of party politics on the part of some of the leaders. Now ! the mask is off. They' have capt | ureci the organization. They' h ive ! made their shibboleth. They have I brought it down from its high pe jdestal and laid it down in the dirt i and dust of party strife.

The sunshiny days of last week were glorious, and the faces of our farmers were wreathed in smiles. , We are solicitous to 'know why the News fails to come to Duck Creek on Saturday evening, as it should, when it goes regularly to Centre Post and Bronco? Just how : it misses Duck Creek we can’t say. Will the editor of the News please ] tell the postmasters where Duck Creek is, and if they can’t remem ber it long, for them to write it down on apiece of paper and post it in their hats. Rev. W. L. Shattuck filled his: appointment at Chattooga Sun lay. His discourse was a very forcible one. The angel of death has again vis ited our land and taken from our midst Mr. J. S.
