Senator Ben Tillman succeeded

An Eloquent P eroration.
Although Senator Wolcott dici
not touch a responsive chird in
all American hearts in his speech
on the Monroe doctrine in the sen
ace, his oration was one of the
finest ever heard in that btdy.
He closed his speech by saying:
“Mr. President, we will protect our
country and our country’s interests
with our lives, but we wage no
wars of conquest or of hate. This
Republic stands facing the dawn,
secure in its liberties, conscious ol
its high destiny. Wherever iu all
all the world the hand of the op
pressed or down trodden is reacheo
out to us, we meet it iu friendly
clasp. In the old world, where
unspeakable crimes even now dar
ken the skies; in the Orient where
old dynasties have been crumbling
for a thousand years and still
I hang together strong in the accu
mulation of infamies ; in South
America, where as yet, the forms
of free institutions hold only the
spirit of cruelty and oppress ion ;
everywhere upon the earth, it is
our mission to ameliorate, to civ
ilize* to Christianize, to loosen the
bonds of captivity and to point
the suuls of men to nobler heights.
Whatever of advancement and pro
gress the centuries bring to us
must largely come through the.
spread of the religion of Christ
and tho dominance of the English
speaking peoples; and wherever
you find both you find communi
ties where freedom exists and the
law is obeyed. Blood is thicker
than water, and until some just
quarrel divides us, which Heaven
forbid, may these two great nations
of the B?,me speecli and lineage
traditions stand as brothers, shoul
der to shoulder, in the interest ol
humanity, by their union compell
ing peace and awaiting the coming
of the day when “nation shall not
lift up sword against nation, neith
er shall they learn war any more.’ ’’
The Close of the Century.
It has been predicted by those
who have studied the history of
paßt ovents that the close of the
present century would see the
world engaged in the bloodiest and
most destructive wars of all time,
and certainly tho trend of present
events seems to bear out that idea.
President Cleveland’s message, up
holding the Monroe doctrine, seems
to have aroused the war spirit in
England to the fullest extent, and
following it, one incident after an
other, has come in quick succes
sion, until the result is that almost
every nation on the globe is pre
paring for war by building im
mense navies of the most modern
type, and organizing and equipping
its armies with the most destruc
tive weapons obtainable, and one
can but wender where it all will
end, and what the end will be.
Following close on the announce
ment that England was making
gigantic preparations for war, and
was fitting out its formidable Hy
ing squadron, whose destination
and objects are yet unknown, came
the news that Germany was pre
paring to spend an immense sum
in building a new navy. Next, it
it is announced that Russia is fol
lowing the lead of the Germans,
and will begin at once the building
of a large number of warships. Ja
pan’s success in the Chinese war
has emboldened that aggressive
little empire, and they are buying
and building ships as fast as mon
ey can do it. while China, who be
gins to realize her need of a modern
navy of the most approved type, is
making preparations to that fend
as rapidly as possible. Mexico,
without any immediate or visible
provocation, is organizing a splen
did army, which will be equipped
with the most effective arms ob
tainable. while Venezuela may be
said to be already on a war footing,
while across the Canadian border
the Canucks are fortifying and
building forts, and getting ready
iu every possible for the war which
may come, sooner or later, between
England ai d America,
Iu the meantime, Brother
Johnathan, the sleeping giant of
the western hemisphere, is begin
ning to arouse from his lethargy,
and to slowly, but none the less
effectively, gird up his loins, prep
aratory to meeting all comers, be
they whom they may.
England has for centuries past
been considered the mo9t powerful
nation of the earth. She has bull
dozed the weaker nations, and
bought up and grabbed about every
piece of territory worth having
that she could lav hands on, and
now it seems that the day of reck-;
oiling is not far off, and iu the
event of a general European war, j
she would bound to be the sufferer.
Truly there are wars and rumors
of wars, and what the end of it all
will be no man can say.
Not For the Senate.
In an Atlanta paper a few days
ago it was stated that H n. Mose
Wright, of Rome, would be a can
didate at the next October election j
to represent the 42nd senatorial ;
district in the State Senate. The
report was not believed at this j
place, as every one knows that un
der the time honored custom of
rotation, it is Chattooga’s time to ;
furnish the senator for the 42nd i
district this term, and it was not j
thought that any effort would be I
made to break this rule.
Last Thursday the Constitution
published an interview with Mr.
Wright, by its Rome correspondent
which sets the matter at rest, and
relieves the minds of those who
were expecting a big senatorial
fight, for it is a well known fact
that Chattoogans are a very patri
otic people when it comes to hold
ing office, and they do not propose
to surrender any of their political
rights without a light. Here is the
interview:
“I feel highly complimented by
the expressions of my friends in
regard to the state senatorship,”
said Hon. Mose Wright this morn
ing, “but I shall not be a candi
date. According to the system of
rotation it is Chattooga county’s
tun. next, and I understand that
Hon. Wesley Shropshire will be
the candidate with probably no
opposition. I have decided to of
fef myself for the solicitorship of
the Rome circuit and shall not be
a candidate for the legislature,
either as a representative from
Floyd or as senator from the dis
trict.”
This avowal on the part of Mr.
Wright leaves the field open, as to
representative, and the only two
candidates mentioned so far are
Mr. W. H. Ennis and Col. J. Lind
say Johnson, aside from Messrs
Reese and Fouche, who aror t pres
ent members of the house. It is
said Mr. Reese will not be a candi
date for re-election.

MRS. MONTGOMERY FREE.
The Jury Agree on a Verdict la a
Very Few Minutes.
The trial of Mrs. Joanna Mont
gomery, charged with being acces
sory to the murder of her husband
Thomas Montgomery, some months
ago, came up in Floyd superior
court last Thursday morning, and
resulted in a verdict of acquittal,
the jury remaining out only a few
minutes.
The jury was selected without
trouble aud the taking of testimo
ny was begun at once. Mrs. Mont
gomery appeared in court with her
six weeks old baby in her arms.
The charge was that about 2 o'-
clock one night in last July, a
quarrel arose between herself and
her husband and that she held him
while Haivey Wilson, her nineteen
year old son by a previous mar
riage, stabbed her husband to
death.
It was alleged that the boy had
bought a long knife which he had
shown to his associates with the ;
statement that he was going west
and that before he went he would
do something that would make it
worth his while t > leave.
Mrs. Montgomery introduced no |
evidence in her own behalf, but re
lied on her statement of the cir-;
cumstances of the killing.
Her statement was dramatic and
pathetic and was given in such a
manner as to impress her hearers
with the truth of what she said.
She admitted having hold of her
husband’s arm at one time during
the progress of the difficulty but
did not think he received his death
wounds until she had left him and
gone to the door to open it, in
the effort to get her son to leave.
She said that at this stage of the
trouble she heard some one get a
short breath or gasp, and thinking
her husband had killed her son
went back to them. Hfir son then
went out of the room when her
husband tried to follow, when she
put her hand on him to restrain
j him and then she discovered that
j he had been stabbed, by the blood
on his bosom.
The jury evidently believed her
statement as they were out only
a few minutes before agreeing on
a verdict of acquittal.
Mrs. Montgomery returned home
last Thursday evening in company
with her father, and both were evi
dently rejoiced at the result of the
trial. This ends a case that has
excited no small amount of interest
in this county from the fact that
both parties to the tragedy were
well known, and each had many
warm friends who naturally felt
great interest in the final disposi
tion of ihe case.

In Memoiam.
Our beloved sister, Mrs, Martha
Maynor, died at her home on Oct-j
ober 15. 1895. She had been sick
a long time and had suffered a j
great deal, but bore her suffering ■
with a Christian fortitude which |
convinced all who knew her that .
her hope of a better life beyond
this was bright, indeed. She knew
that death was near, but for her it
had no terror, but was a welcome
friend that should free her from
the cares and toils of mortal life;
a gate through which she would
pass into eternal happiness, and
bo at rest with her Redeemer,
i She leaves a husband and seven
children to mourn her death. She j
was su affectionate wife and a good
■ mother, and our community deep
|ly deplores her death. She was !
j indeed a good neighbor, a consis
tent member of the Baptist church
and in her death the church loses
one of its best and most worthy
members.
We extend to the bereaved hus
band and family our heart felt
sympathy, and bow in submission
to the will of our Heavenly Father
who doeth all things well.
Resolved, that the above memo
rial be spread on the minutes of
; our church, and that a copy be
j sent to the Chattooga News with
a request to publish the same.

HE A.WAY!
He Couldn’t Have Gene Faster
Without Wings. *
Last Wednesday night some
prowler went, to Mr. Rad Echols’
house, near Lyerly, and raising a
window went in. He searched the
i house carefully, going through a
number of bureau drawers, evi
dently in search of money, but so
far as Mr. Echols could tell next
morning, got nothing but a plate
of cakes, which no doubt he did
ample justice to.
Next morning Mr. Echols started
in pursuit. At several points he
heard of a negro tramp, and just
above Summerville ho overhauled
a young negro who was making his
way toward Chattanooga. He
brought him back to town, the ne
gro, meantime, claiming he could
prove that he staid all night at a
negro house not far from town
Deputy Sheriff Henley and Mr
Echols took him over the ridge to
the house tc investigate, and on
the way back the young buck de
cided to show his captors what sort
of a runner he was, and reaching
up he took off his hat, a sure sign
that he meant business, and then
made a break. A half dozen pis
tol shots did not tend to slacken
his speed, but rather to increase it,
and it is said that his course
through the woods might well be
likened to a blue streak. He got
away. In the meantime Mr. Ech
ols is wondering who eat his cakes.
