FRIDAY MORNING” MAYI\ b". We once knew a woman who had nine Tripletts in succession. Re markable? No, she was a Mrs. Trip lett herself. The claims of Summerville to the congressional convention ought to be considered by the executive com mittee of the seventh. T. J. Lyon^"j. _ Watt Harris, P. M. Young and W. 11. Baker, all of Bar tow, are avowed candidates for the sanate from this, the 42d district. Emperor Frederick, x>f Germany, Don Pedro, emperor of Brazil, and King Luis, of Portugal, are all reported to be in a dying condi tion. Rider Haggard has sent $5 to a person who wrote to him pointing out two flagrant grammatical errors in “She.” If Rider continues to do this way he is a ruined man. The supreme court confirmed last week the judgment of the court be-1 low allowing the heirs of Myra | Clark Gaines a judgment for $2,-1 000,000 against the city of New Orleans. .= Georgia gave Polk, Democratic candidate for president in 1814, a majority of 2,071. In 1848 she gave Taylor, Whig, a majority of 2,742. These are the smallest majorities I the State ever cast for presidential' candidates. In three weeks the secTetery of I the Treasury has bought $10,500,-1 000 of bonds at a cost in premium of $2,000,000. As the payment of $3,500,000 in interest was saved by the purchase, this was not bad financiering. Girl violinists are becoming nu merous. Girls are always after beaux of one sort or another—at least in leap year.—‘Rome Tribune. 5 es, and they are good at drawing beaux, too, it doesn’t matter wheth er it’s leap year or not. Some of Bartow county’s public men have a habit of advancing backward. Dr. Felton, a former congressman, is glad to go to the legislature, and now Gen. Young also an ex-congressman, wants to go to the State senate. Dade county has the naming of j the State senator from the district ! composed of Dade, Walker and Ca-; toosa counties this time, and Mitch ell Pope and T. J. Lumpkin, of that! county, have already announced themselves as candidates. “Galen is Valapuk for “rejoice.” It is a fact, however, that an Ohio man will rejoice on a pint.—Cou rier Journal. A 1\ ntucky man never rejoices on : small thing like a pint. He mi/ i “smil • on a quart, though. Ihe English have awakened to the fact that a foreign army 100,- 000 strong, if it could effect a land incr. W; hi 1,1 Ln 111 mg, would be likely to over run their light little island, and they have began placing the defences and forts of their country in a bet ter condition. A multiplicity of wives is consid ered a crime, yet right here in Geor gia men, whose religion allow it, are allowed to preach and entice ! away to [. tah those whose ignorance ] or depravity makes them easy vic tims to Mormonism. It might be a ‘ good thing for the next legislature to consider this matter. The Democratic convention of Tennessee at Nashville, after pro-- tracting an exciting contest, re-' nominated Gov. Taylor for govern-| or on t.-: - 10t:i i--diol last week. The opposition to him was so strong and bitter t! at it is probable, in order to secure harmony, that Bob will have to fiddle more that usual. Yesterday, Today and To morrow. What is the past? A memory. What is the present? A reality. And what is the future? An un certainty. Yesterday—last week—last year —they have gone! Yesterday was such a day as will never be again; last week was such a week as no one will know any more, and last year’s events will never occur again. Out of darkness and eternity they were born, and into eternity and darkness, lighted only by fitful memory, they forever sank again. The opportunities they held forth will never be offered again. Those that were taken advantage of are pleasant memories, but those that were heedlesly spurned are dregs, the bitterness of which yet remains. This should teach every one the value of the present, not only for its own sake, but for the sake of the future also. For there is noth ing more sure than this law of mor al connection and retribution. The moral impulses and consequences of today bear the impress of the acts of yesterday and communi cates its influence upon the acts of tomorrow. The seed of every pleas ui able emotion of today was sown yesterday, and the good done today will bear fruit tomorrow. Every act of life is the result of past training and influences, and so will the future be. Let no one imagine for a moment that it can ever be unimportant whether they yield to this or that sinful passion, or, as it may seem at the time, mere indulg ance. Let no one imagine that the future will drown the sinful oi in discreet acts of the present, or try to quiet conscience by the thought that at the worst the memories of folly will be out lived, or that amends can be made by better con : duct. It is true it can be said that I many great men have sown “wild I oats” and afterward appeared to I forget it in living exemplary lives 'in happiness and content. But this is a delusion, for it is a truth that I every day verifies that those who sow “wild oats” will, in some way or other, reap a bitter harvest. Therefore every one should re member the bearing of the present ! upon the future and as they wish i I the future to be so live today. All i i is summed up from this point. The | future and eternal will take their! ! character from the present and > temporal. “He that is unjust, let! him be unjust still: and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he j that is righteous, let him be right eons still.” The chain runs on in un-! broken continuity. The shadow of death may cover from sight, but I , when the light of another world breaks in, life will be found in the order it was here. Make the pres r ent life, therefore, a preparation for the future life, both here and hereafter, by seeking ditties, studies works and enjoyments which will ■ blossom in happiness and beauty ■ tomorrow and bring good fruit throughout, eterity. Mormonism in G-eorgia. In Richmond county the Mormons are making considerable progress. There are 150 at one place in that ' ! county who propose organizing as a j ! local congregation. The elders have I I I been preaching in the homes of the I I members, but they intend now to ! build a church for regular services. I A household once committed to the tenets of their faith, the elders be gin their pastoral work in the fam -1 i ily, and it is said they sec visions ■ and have spiritual communications | by authority of which they take 1 • privileges not sanctioned by the ! lajvs of this State or country. In deed, one of the elders recently claimed to have received a commu nication from the unseen world com manding him to take up the mar riage relation with three sisters,! who have joined the band. To such an extent has the matter gone that! great alarm is felt, and a number! of ministers of various denomina-! tions have united in addressing the ! following card to their brethren and ! the people generally: “At Kollock Street Baptist church , last Thursday half a dozen were ! turned out for joining the Mormons, j They go up to Grovetown to bap-! ! ti.rn theirdeluded converts, and more j than fifty have been baptized there • ! from this city (Augusta). When a | pret ended religious set of tramps .' are invading the sacred precincts of ! our churches, and the quiet family | ! circles of the innocent and unsus- I pe Ting laboring classes, religious' ! toleration ceases to be a virtue. We ' call upon our min sters to exposei the sophistry and fraud of these fa'if teachers, an 1 our citizens, old ! and young, of all classes and de-; nominations, to stamp out this foul bloA «D<>n our civilization.” A Lawful Robbery. During or directly after the war the congress, in seeking to raise funds to pay the enormous indebt ness incurred in prosecuting the civil war, levied a tax upon cotton. Before the act was discovered to be unconstitutional, the government collected off the Southern cotton planters the sum of $60,000,000. The supreme court has since held that congress had no right to col lect this tax, and that it was done in violation of the constitution. The highest tribunal having thus de clared, it follows that the govern ment has in its treasury $60,000,- 000 belonging to the Southern farmers that it ought in justice to refund. Instead of congress appropriat ing immense sums for rivers and harbors and voting hundred of mil lions in pensioning Federal sol diers, it should pass the bill author izing the return of this $60,000,000 of which a Republican congress robbed the South. How can Southern congressmen log roll through corrupt river and harbor appropriations, while their constituents, who lost all in the war, were robbed of the fruits of a large portion of their labor since the war, and not make efforts to effect a restitution? It is a lamen table fact that the United States retains money’ unlawfully collect- ed, without constitutional warrant, from a people who have without this borne grievous burdens during the past thirty years. Indications multiply’ that the Republicans in time will make ef forts to keep the colored people from voting. Many of the colored people are voting and acting with the Democrats, and in consequence many’ Republicans express them selves as sorry’ they were ever al lowed to vote. The present average rate of the tariff on dutiable goods Is 47 : 10 pr ! cent. The Mills bill would leave it 40 pr cent. The Mills bill proposes to cut off, in round numbers, $78,- 000,000 of the surplus revenue. Os this amount $54,000,000 is taken from the tariff and $24,000,000 from : the internal taxes on tobacco. It ! adds to the free list flax, hemp, jute, j salt, tin plate, wool and a few other | articles. ! The Senate Judiciary' Committee' i allowed the Supreme Court to nd ! journ last week until the Ist of Oc j tober without having taken any’ ac ! tion whatever on the appointment of Mr. Fuller to the Chief-Justice- ! ship. All the members of the Sen te have received copies of a pam phlet giving Mr. Fuller’s war record —or, rather, peace record—and winding up with a hysterical protest against the elevation of a “Copper head” to the Supreme bench. We addressed letters to each of the candidates for congress from this district last week, asking them ito express their views upon the tariff issue. Those, who have views and are afraid to express them are unworthy’ to represent the “bloody’ seventh,” and those who have none at all are not fit to represent any thing. We hope they’ will accept j this opportunity to “come out of. ! the woods,” and if they’ do, our ■ readers will be made aware of it. The Atlanta Journal pleads for . j harmony’ in the Democratic party, . ’ and anticipating opposition to Sen . ■ ator Colquit’s re-election to the : ; senate, says, in substance, that ; ! those who oppose him will be crea .; ting dissension. This is nonsense. There are plenty’ of better men in . Georgia than Colquitt, and the leg islature would be doing the correct; ! thing to elect one of them. The idea that those who favor some one other than Colquitt are by so doing ; creating dissension in the Demo- ! cratic party’ is rediculous. . j Andrew Fitzpatrick, of Elizabeth, !N. J., has by’ boldly asserting his j rights won a great victory for the ! cause of liberty. One evening last I winter he was put out of the theatre ! for wearing his hat during the per- I formance. As his hat was not a ! high one and sank into insignifi j cance beside certain bonnets worn iby members of the fair sex in the : audience Mr. Fitzpatrick felt that he had been wronged. A jury’ has just granted him SSO to heal his i wounded feelings. Os couse it is ! not desirable for men to wear their ! hats in the theatre, but it is encour* ’ aging to see men’s equality to wom en > boldly and successfully’main tained. Wno eve r heard of a wom an being removed from a theatre for wearing a tine', story and a base ment bonnet? Centennial of a Great Church. • One hundred years ago the Pres : byterian church was organized in this country. This week the cele- ■ bration of its centennial was held . in Philadelphia, the strongest Pres- • byterian city in the United States. ; The first General Assembly of i the Presbyterian church met in 1788. It represented sixteen Prcs- l byteries, four hundred and ninety ■ churches and seventeen ministers. - Today the Presbyterian church in > the United States has three hun . dred and eighty nine Presbyteries, . eleven thousand churches and . eight thousand ministers. i No other Protestant church re- > quires such thorough preparation of its ministers and the average in- . telligence of its membership is cor [ respondingly high. While in those . things it is nobly progressive it is . of all churches the most conserva . live in matters of faith. It clings ) devotedly’ to the old standard of ; orthodoxy and is the great bulwark against the tendency of the times i toward rationalism. The spirit of I the Scotch dissenters still survives • and stubbornly resists all efforts to • modify or amend the faith and . tenets which governed the church ; in days gone by. It is a strong , church, a grand church, and can look back on the one hundred years i of its existance in the land of the free and view a wonderful record of! progress. , The General Assembly discussed ; several questions of doctrine and considered the relations of the Northern and Southern divisions of the church. The proceedings, when i known, will show 'what progress, if any, has been made in the direction I of organic union of those great I branches of the same church which, I holding the same faith, cherishing the same traditions and practicing the same forms of church govern ment, have long been dissevered by , sectional lines and differences . which do not affect the essence of their faith. That the outcome of the works of the Assembly may be for good and result in increased • energy in advancing the cause which alone promises good tempor arily’ and for futurity’, is the hope of all. The most charming thing in la dies’ rings are pretty fingers. In Cuba only are slaves now held in the western hemisphere, and the Cuban slaves will soon all be free under the operation of existing laws. The great debate on the tariff was closed last Saturday’ in a speech by Speaker Carlisle, which is pro nounced the ablest yet delivered upon the subject. Gov. Gordon and Evan P. How ell have both recently delivered speeches in Cartersville upon the mineral resources of Bartow coun ty. Efforts are being made to raise money to build a furnace. The end of the famous Maxwell case draws nigh. The federal Su preme court has officially notified the court below that the murderer’s writ of error has been dismissed. The Missouri judges will no doubt lix an early’ date for the execution of Maxwell. Capt. John W. Turner has a - himself as a candidate for the legislature from Floyd county. If elected be pledges himself to <lo all he can to have the times of; holding the superior court of that! county’ changed back to January and July’, the old schedule. Dr. Felton is a candidate for I h i legislature from Bartow, and he is uncompromisingly in favor of leas ing the State road, and opposed to its sale. If the road could be leased for what it is worth, this would do, but it is doubtful if it can be done. It would be better to sell the road than to allow private individuals tn manipulate it to their own gain, regardless of the rights of the peo ple. The income, clear of expenses of the road is over $600,000 a year and if it could be leased for’ some thing like that sum it would do. A Card of Thanks. To The Woman’s Mission Socie ty of the Summerville Baptist Church :—Dear Sisters—-You will please accept my sincere thanks for the chair you presented to me. I appreciate it not only’ for its intrin sic value and the practical comfort it affords me, but more especially because it is the gift of loving Christian hearts and willing hands. I also appreciate much the kind words and assurance of apprecia tion expressed in the note accom panying the gift. May the Lori! abundantly’ reward each one of you for your kindness to your pastor. D. T. Espy. CON&REBSIONAL CANDIDATES. Letters from Judge Branham and Capt. Reece-One has notflme to Tell His Views, and the Other Has. Last week we addressed a letter to each of the candidates for congress from the seventh district, to-wit: Capt. J. 11. Reece, Judge Branham, Hon J. C. Clements, Col. C. D. Phil lips, and Col. J. E. Shumate, asking them to express their views upon the tariff. We have received two responses, which will be found be low. The interview in the Tribune referred toby Judge Branham con tains no statement of his views upon the tariff. Perhaps, as the Judge says, he has not time to give them now. If he has not the time to give his views, perhaps the people will think he has not the time to spare to goto congress. But perhaps lie will have more time soon. The letter of Capt. Reece speaks for itself. It is manly and fearless, and contains sound Democratic doctrine. Rome, Ga., May 21, isss. Mb. Jos. W.CainSummerville, Ga., Dear Sir- Your favor to hand. lam too busy now to give any extended views upon the tariff, but I will do so when I can before the people The Tribune in an interview procured a brief statement from me last week, which I presume it will publish. Yon might copy that. Yours truly, J. Branham. Rome, Ga., May 21, 1888. Mu. Jos. W. Cain: -Dear Sir Your favor is received in which you suy “The tariff question is the great issue now be- I fore the people, and as you are a candi j date tor congress I deem it not inappre - priateto ask of you an expression of your ■ views upon this important subject.” I I agree with you t hat it is an important subject, and as I ha ve conscientious con victions on the subject, ami as I am a ; candidate, you and all the people have a right to know them. 1 may be wrong in my views; if so it is an error of the head and not the heart, for I desire nothing but the good of my country and the prosperity of the people. I am heartily in accord with the views expressed by the President in his late message on the tariff and believe it to be the ablest state paper eniinating from any Federal Executive since the time of Thomas Jefferson. 1 am in favor of a tariff only which brings the greatest good to the greatest number. And as the expenses oi main taining the government, paying pen sions and the public debt must be met in some way by raising a revenue, I would reform ami adjust the tariff for this purpose so as to afford the greatest protection to our manufacturing indus tries. I would collect only this necessa ry tax in such way that our manufactu ring interests would have the greatest benefit from it. I am opposed to col lecting a greater amount of revenue out of the people than is necessary to run the government, thereby accumulating a surplus in thp Treasury to be squan dered by impracticable schemers and plunderers. There is a surplus now in the Treasury of one hundred and forty million dollars. I believe this ought to be reduced by taking the tax off of the necessaries of life and thereby cheapen the cost of living, and collecting what is needed to defray the expenses of gov ernment out of luxuries. I would re move the tariff on sugar, rice, salt, wool and coal and many other articles 1 can not enumerate in this short letter. What does any agricultural people want with a protective tariff? Well may the “plow man homeward plod his weary way” with a tariff tax on everything he uses from a pin to a steam engine. He sows in hope, but when he settles his bills for I articles he is compelled to have, he reaps in tears. The masses of the American people are tired of a tariff protection to syndicates and trust companies. We I have liffl'ii under tlie tariff for about a | quarter of a century and where are tin great benificial results accruing to the people? The protected few have pros pered at the expense and toil of the many Look around you, Mr. Editor, and you will see that our people are greatly in debt; liefraand mortgages an* spread all over the country, and tho people are tailing in bonds of iniquity on account of a high tariff tax on the rieccsitiesof life. A glance at the early history of our country will show tha* our ancestors rebelled at the imposition of an unjust tax, and shall we, their descendants nn- ; der a delusive promise of a coming bet | ter day, sleep on in fancied security un til the monied power of the country has bound us hand and foot? Surely twenty five years of oppression and disastrous experiment under a protective tariff ought to convince us that the burdens on the necessaries of life ought to be re formed. | I know that many good mon will dis sent from the views 1 have thus briefly stated, but they are my honest convic | tions. and I am willing to stand or fall by them in the coming contest. I may never see the National Capitol I have only seen the dome of the < 'apitol while on picket duty as a beardless soldier boy but I am not afraid to give my views on any of the great questions the people are interested in.

The physical condition of the crowned potentates of the world is not enviable at present.
