DEMOCRATIC TICKET. For Senator 42nd District. WESLEY SHROPSHIRE. For Representative. It. Y. RIDICIL. Tilt re wasn’t such a flood of straddle hugs, after all. And Ilror David Hill— lie lay low! The Democrats are on their \\ hite metal. Politically, David It Hill is si -1 *>nt in all the known tongues. The Now York gold bugs are just waking up to the fact that the sil ver men are in dead earnest. From now on (he s\ hack of the political hammer may ho heard as the campaign lie is nailod. It is said that Hanna, chief cook in tho Republican camp, will begin bis fat frying process soon. Tho Democrats are going to climb the golden stairs in silver slippers lliis year. See? This is a bad year for bolting. Stand up, gentlemen, and take your Bryan crow like little mou lt \v ill do you good. An enterprising firm is now en gaged put ting up canned crow to he used by the republicans iu their voyage up Salt river. The Georgia country editors are unanimously in favor of better roads. They know a good thing when they walk on it. Take a seat on tho Democratic Imml wagon. Don’t mind your political corns; they’ll bo all right bv and by. Mr. Brown, of Mac n, wants to bet SIO,OOO that McKinley is e’ec ted president. Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones haven't been heard from. There are grave objections to the present method of electing judges and solicitors, but the News does not believe that an election bv the people would be an improve ment. The Democratic primary called for Polk county, to be held Satur day August Ist, has been called oil’, the reason given being that no opposition had been ottered to the Democratic candidates for county o tli cos. Slowly the gold bug papers of Georgia are climbing back onto the Democratic hand wagon. The Atlanta Journal is one of the la t st. and is now tooting its horn vigorously as of yore. There is room for all. Major Black has declined to en t *r the race for congress from the Tenth district. It is thought that tie' nomination will go either to Boykin Wiight or W. H. Flem ming. Both are good men and true. Polities, like charity, should be !_in at h> ir.< . and this is especially true of tl; ■ >«>uth and its people. How any southern Democrat can for a moment 1 liink of bolting the action of the Chicago convention is a mystery. Self preservation is a law that cannot bo ignored, and ii tho south it has a vastly deeper -igmi’ean ■ • than one of mere par ty politics. if it is expected that our section shall prosper in the future, our state gov rnment must' I ■ kept in the hands of its wisest, Test and most conservative people. There are a number of different •pc slit - s that are pressing for sol lion, and often honest men differ as to the b<-st way. Wo cannot always g. t just what we want. To pr-scrve party integrity conces s ms must To made, and when a majority of tho party declares for : principe then the minority ought j to acqniece Stand by the party l:ag. !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. Tkachek. 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.
