The Now York gold bugs are just

It is said that Hanna, chief cook

Tho Democrats are going to

This is a bad year for bolting.
Stand up, gentlemen, and take

An enterprising firm is now en

Mr. Brown, of Mac n, wants to

There are grave objections to
the present method of electing
judges and solicitors, but the News
does not believe that an election

The Democratic primary called
for Polk county, to be held Satur

oil’, the reason given being that no
opposition had been ottered to the
Democratic candidates for county

Slowly the gold bug papers of

!the district conference
A Detailed Account of Its Pro’
ceedings.
The Dalton District Conference
which was in session at the Metho
dist church here from Monday eve
ning until Friday evening, was a
I great success so far as attendance
1 and interest was concerned. Large
crowds were in attendance at the
business sessions as well as the re
' ligious services.
In spite of the extremely hot
weather the ministers were all en-
Jergetic at the business meetings,
! grid fervidly eloquent at the relig
-1 ious services. Indeed, it might be
sud with all due deference that
j the warmth of the atmosphere
1 made tho burning periods of the
! preachers 'even more realistic.
I There were many very able millil -
iters present and thoir sermons
1 wore greatly appreciated by the
i people here,
| Monday evening the first meot
j. ing was conducted by Rev. J. N.
I Myers, of Subligna. It was a love
feast and experience meeting,
r Tuesday morning the Conference
' met and organized, this being the
26th annual session. Rov. 11. J.
; Adams, P. E., was elected chair
man; A. B. Weaver, of EaFayotto,
. Secretary and Chas. Ilix, assistant
| secretary. Only a few delegates
I were in attendance at this first
j meeting. Itev. W. A. Parks preach
■jcdat 11 a. m.
Tuesday afternoon committees
1 were appointed on different church
i interests, which came under tho
Jj 7 .
following heads: Missions, Wo
man’s Foreign Missionary Society,
: Woman’s Parsonage Aid and Home
i Mission Society, Epworth League,
Sunday schools, Education, Social
meetings, Family Religion, Sab
- bath observance, Finance, Temper
ance, Church Literature, Wesleyan
I Christian Advocate, Quarterly Con
.' foronco Records.
> { Tuesday night Rev. W. E. Tarp
j ley preached on the influence of
gcod home training and woman’s
duty and high calling in this re
gard. Mr. Tarpely has a decidedly
Hebraic cast of countenance, and
as he illustrated his sermon pro
fusely with incidents from the lives
» of Old Testament characters, his
■ Jewish features seemed even more
; marked and suggestive. To the
imaginative there was something
striking in tho idea that a drop of
tho blood of those old Hebrew he
roes might flow at that moment in
the veins of tho speaker who told
of their deeds.
, Wednesday morning prayer
meeting was conducted by Rev.
Mr. Kennedy. At the business
session tho spiritual state of tho
church was discussed, and a report
from Mrs. Ernest Neal of the Wo
man’s Foreign Mission society was
read. Rev. J. A. Sharpe, of Fair
mount, preached the eleven o’clock
sermon. In the afternoon family
religion, church propriety and the
Epworth League were discussed.
Wednesday night a service for
children was conducted by Rev.
W. L. Qui'lian, of Calhoun. Mr.
Quillian was followed by H. L.
Crumley, of Atlanta, who spoke in
behalf of the Orphan’s Home loca
ted near Decatur. A collection
was taken up for the Home which
resulted in $18.30 in cash and S4O
in subscriptions.
Thursday the prayer meeting
was conducted by Rev. Mr. Keith.
The business session was taken up
'with reports from local preachers,
land a discussion of the usefulness
|of these men. In this connection
! the death of Rev. G. W. Moore, a
local preacher of Kensington, was
mentioned. Revivals were discus
sed, and those which had occurred
and were occurring in the district
were mentioned as being at Dalton,
I Calhoun, Trion, LaFayette and
1 Chickamauga. After this Rev. H.
B. Mvers spoke in behalf of the
J Bible society of which he is the '
agent. Rev. G. J. Orr, president i
of the Dalton Female college, fol
lowed Mr. Myers with a very inter
esting talk in behalf of his school.
Rev. L. B. Payne preached at 11
a. m. Mr. Payne was one of the
prominent figures iu the meeting.
He is from the South Georgia con
ference and has been agent of the
Orphan’s home for 20years. This
service had a reminiscent strain in
it. One of the many interesting
memories of past trials and ser
vices related was that of the death
and burial of Capt. J. W. Brady,
of Chattooga county, during the 1 ,
war. Capt. Brady was army chap
lain and his funeral was conducted
by Mr. Payne, Mr. Parks and Mr.
Myers, the burial taking place two
miles east of Calhoun.
I Thursday afternoon the subjects
| considered were : Social meetings,
' attendance on church services, fi
nances and Christian literature.
Miss Minrie Coker, of Trion. Diet.
Sec., of the Epworth League, and
Mr 3. Maddox, president of Trion
Epworth League, were introduced
to the conference.
Thursday night a regular session
was held when the report on tem
perance was read. A large audi
: ence was present as it was general
ly anticipated that this would be a
very interesting meeting. It was
interesting but not as much so as
might have been expected under
lexis ing circumstances. W. A.
Parks, as chairman, read the re
port of the temperace committee.
I The report dealt in statistics show
j ing the growth of tho prohibition
! cause, and was enthusiastic and
hopeful in tone. Rev.'J. F. Davis,
,of Trion, then got up, and after a
j few preliminary remarks com
j mending the report, said ho was
J sorry that one thing was ignored
in it. This was the invariable ex
istence of blind tigers and illicit
distilleries in prohibition commu
nities. Mr. Davis thought this a
very important feature of the case,
| and one that should receive consid
eration, but the audience was des
tined never to hear all of Mr. Da
vis’ thoughts on the subject. The
ministers kept firing remarks and
comments at him until lie either
| became rattled or objected to being
interrupted, and suddenly walked
across the stand and sat down be
fore his speech was half finished,
j Mr. Adams in a few well chosen
words smoothed tho matter, and
then announced a speech by Rev.
J. N. Myers. The rest of the pro
ceedings were devoid of any start
ling features whatever. The a
mount of $l.O was collected from
tho audience for the purpose of
defraying the expenses of litera
ture, public speakers, etc., for the
temperance cause. The local tem
perance society furnished very ex
cellent and spirited music during
tho evening and four of its young
lady members, Misses Josio and
Annie Pitts, Minnie Cleghorn and
Julia Ilix, took the collection.
Friday, being tho last day, was
the most interesting of all. As is
usual, there was a rush to complete
all the unfinished business, and on
this account the usual mid-day
sermon was emitted and all of the
time devoted to business.
One interesting feature to out
siders, and doubtless it was equally
interesting to tho preachers them
selves, was the renewing of licenses
to preach. Tho ministers present
whose licenses were to be renewed
retired while they were being dis
cussed and their merits or demerits
enlarged upon.
After this the various committees
reported, and many interesting
discussions came up. In connec
tion with education tho Chairman,
Mr. Adams, commended in very
high terms the good work done by
the Payne Institute, of this state,
and the Lane Institute of Tennes
ssee, for colored preachers and
teachers. Northern people are fond
of endowing institutions for ne
groes, but they have never helped
these any because they are demo
cratic, so they are dependent upon
the southerners for support. A
collection was taken up for them.
The committee on Sunday
schools reported, and recommended
that the children’s day services be
held so as not to conflict with
neighboring Sunday schools and
j church services. Mr. Rosser got
; up and said that the service should
| be held on Sunday and all day, ac
cording to the strict letter of
church discipline, and he was in
favor of adhering to the discipline.
Mr. Quiliian, committee chairman,
defended his position. After him
came Mr. Walraven who said that
! near Dalton an all day service of
i that kind had attracted as large a
crowd as a Sunday singing could,
1 and if they preached against Sun
day singings they ought not to
commit the same error in a slight
ly different way. After a good
deal of argument the report was
adopted with only one dissenting
voice, that of Mr. Rosser.
The reports were all interesting.
Some of the facts gleaned from
them come under the head of in -
1 teresting information. Iff the dis
trict there are 15 W. C. T. L’s,
and 6 juvenile temperance socie
ties. The committee thought this
an insufficient number, as the ed
ucation of the young in the prin
ciples of temperance reform was
of great importance.
There is one Parsonage and Aid
scciety and it has built one par
sonage and bought one. In the
district there are 3.046 Methodist
families, 1,600 without family al
tars, and 416 who take the Advo
cate, the Methodist organ. There
is an aggregate membership of 400
Epworth Leaguers, belonging to
the ten leagues in the district.
Miss Minnie Coker, of Trion, is
district secretary.
The committee on Sabbath day
observance was opposed to Sunday
trains and excursions and deman
ded” that the legislature prohibit
them. Mr. Parks moved that “de
mand” ba changed to “request,”
when the chairman explained that
they had already “requested” with
out avail.
One of the most interesting re
ports was read by Rev. J. A. Sharp,
chairman of the committee on ed
ucation. It was brief and to the
point, and embodied a resolution
endorsing State School Commis
s oner Glenn’s plan of getting a
law passed that will provide local
taxation equal to the amount fur
nished by the state.
Mr. Sharpe also made a breezy
and spirited talk about his school,
Fairmount college* If everybody
in Fairmount is as devoted to tho
school us he appears to lie, its suc
cess is easily explained, for ac
cording to him it is a success in
every way.
There were many other interest
ing features, Imt a lack of space
necessarily precludes a full report
of the whole meeting. It was all
interesting, and it is truly benefi
cial to any town to have a body of
able, progressive and philanthropic
men meet in it.
Tho next conference will meat
;in Adairsviilo. LaFayette wanted
i it but it was deemed best to
it go to Adairsviilo, and a compli
mentary vote gave the one after
the next to LaFayette.
The committee on examination
announced two successful candi
dates for admission on trial to the
conference, Messrs B. B. Watkins,
of Mui ray circuit, and B. T. Can
troll, of Tilton; and also for dea
con’s orders, Messrs 11. P. Keith,
Whitfield circuit, and R. P. Tatum,
Kensington.
The district delegates elected to
the Annual conference were, Tram
mell Starr, 'J'. R. Horton, It. P.
Tatum and T. W. Harbin.
A rising vote of thanks was ten
dered by the conference to the
chairman, Mr. Adams, for efficient
services rendered, to the people of
Summerville for their hospitality
and to the C. It. & C. railroad for
reduced rates.
Mr. Rosser also read some reso
lutions commending very highly
Mr. Adams’ work as prosiding ol
der, this being the last year he
can serve in this capacity.
The services closed Friday even
ing with a sermon by Mr. Walra
veu and a talk by Mr. A lains.
The Institute.
I notice in the Grand Jury pro
seutinents that they favor tho dis
continuance of the Institute, if it is
sustained at the expense of the
school fund. They say that theyj
do not think tho ben fits derived, if
| any, aro commensurate with the
! expense. Hurrah for that grand
jury! They can see how things
are going.
Here are the people of the conn
dry who pay tax to educate their
1 children, and these same tax pay
ers do not know whore the 'money
; goes.
It is collected and sent to At
lanta. I suppose, when it gets there
| the state school commissioner, and
probably others, got a per cent.
When it gets back to Chattooga
county it is like the negro’s pos
sum, “awfully swunk.”
Then the teachers are paid a
small pittance and when they go
to collect from their patrons their
accounts are necessarily large.
Then their patrons want to know
what became of the public fund !
Well, this is the way it went:
The Institute conductors receive
some ; the various officers, and in
fact every one who handles it must
have a per cent, and the result is
there is very little left for the
poor, hard worked, dried up little
teachers.
Ido not see why the money is
not kept here and paid to the
teachers. People complain that we
have poor teachers. Why? Be
: cause they are poorly paid.
Most good teachers find that
tlmy can command a better salary
at other callings than they can at
teaching; consequently they are
leaving this high calling. How
can he teach except he be paid?
It does not look fair for a man
to spend five or six of the best
years of his life and several hun
;dred dollars in obtaiuingfjan edu
|cation ami then be confined in the
school room —I might say give up
his liberty—and work for less than
the daily laborer received.
Our State Scho>d Commissioner
says that if there be any class of
people whose burdens lie desires-to
' be made lighter, it is composed of
the teachers of the children. He
says again that we must go into
| another county to attend the In
stitute. That does not look like
consistency.
It would take about one-fourth
;of the average country teacher's
I salary to attend the Institute in
I this way. Such things cause nn
to think of the way tha British
| treated the Colonists, when they
! carried them to England to be
tried.
1 want to see the time when the
laboring masses have their rights
in everything.
Let all people work together for
the education and enlightment of
the future generation, and we will,
I believe, have an era of prosperity
and general good will which the
world has never known.

A Miserable Fake.
A story is going the roundi of
the Georgia press to the eTeit
that the grave of Will Jack
i son was struck by lightning
recently, and the gr uml torn up
so that the coffin was exposed.
It will bo remembered that Will
Jackson was a son of Mr. N. A.
Jackson, of Haywood district, in
this county and was killed by light
ning a few weeks ago.
+ A short f imo ago,some sensation
al writer started the s tory men
tioned above, with a lot of grue
some and sickening details of the
lightning’s work. Just why such a
lie should be started about a death
that was already sad enough to
tho family and friends of the young
man, is a mystery. Wo are relia
bly informed that the whole story
j from beginning to end, is a moil-
I strous fake, utterly untrue in ev
ery particular.

therefore if elected I will, to the

the greatest issue of the day and
favoring tho fiee and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1 and following tho teachings
of Jefferson and Jackson that
National Banks and Banks of issue
aro dangerous to the welfare and
liberties of the people and ought
to be suppressed. Hence if elected
I will do all in my yower to elect
a man to the United State Senate
who favors the same.
Education is the hopo of the
state, therefore J am in favor of a
liberal suoport of the public
schools.
I oppose the present convict sys
