SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA. AUGUST 26 1886 THE NETVS IE GEORGIA A Column of Interesting and Im portant State Items. HAPPENINGS OF THE PAST WEEK Sensational Scene In the Mulberry Street Methodist Church, at Macou—During the Progress of a Storm at Columbus a Young Lady Ig Knocked Down by Light ning and Seriously Injured. Macon, Aug. 24.—Rev. Dr. Alonzo Monk, the pastor of the Mulberry Street Methodist church, and Reporter Tilden Adamson of the Macon Telegraph, were the principals in a sensational scene at the church Sunday night. During the services Dr. Monk said he thought it justice to himself and to his church he should make a statement relative to the sermon he preached on Aug. 16 against the saloons of Macon and the happen ings that have followed this sermon. In the sermon last Sunday night, Dr. Monk was specially severe on the vau deville that runs in connection with Putzell’s saloon, and made strictures against the moral character of the per formers. On Monday the mayor ordered the vaudeville closed, based on the denunci ation of Dr. Monk. On the following night, however, the mayor revoked his order and allowed the vaudeville to open on the representation of the actors and actresses that they were persons of good character and had been unjustly as sailed by Dr. Monk. The Telegraph published an account of Dr. Monk’s sermon, and also pub lished cards from several of the vaude ville performers. Dr. Monk said he thought The Tele graph had done him a great injustice and had allowed its columns to be used by persons of questionable character to attack him. It is said that the doctor was quite emphatic in his criticism on The Telegraph. Reporter Adamson says that Dr. Monk, in the course of his remarks, made use of the following ex pression: “A low, designing person” and employed it in such connection that Adamson thought that the doctor re ferred to him. As soon as the services were ended and the congregation was leaving the church, young Adamson went to Dr. Monk in the pulpit and demanded, so it is said, an explanation of Dr. Monk’s remarks. Adamson asked Dr. Monk if he referred to him as “a low, designing person.” Dr. Monk replied that he did not, and if Adamson so thought he was laboring under a misapprehension. Ad amson was satisfied and started to de scend the steps of the pulpit when Dr. Monk addressed him about to this effect: “Young man, I understand that you said that I would hold vyu to personal account and responsibility if ever you mentioned my name in The Telegraph again?” Adamson replied that Dr. Monk had so told him. Dr. Monk denied that he had said any such thing. At this point the statements of what then passed between Adamson and Dr. Monk differ. Dr. Monk says that Adam* son called him a liar. Adamson says that he told Dr. Monk that he must not say that he—Adamson—told a lie. It is said that when the “lie” was passed, the two men clinched. Several gentlemen present went to the rescue and Dr. Monk told them to put Adam son out of the pulpit and out of church, and in the scuffie several blows, it is said, were passed, young Adamson get ting his face bruised. A Young Lady Struck by Lightning. Columbus, Ga., Aug. 24.—During the progress of a thunderstorm here light ning struck the 2-story residence of Mr. J. S. Morris, on Rose Hill. The struct ure was partially demolished by the bolt, and that none of the occupants were killed is remarkable. The furni ture in two or three rooms was shat tered and Miss Annie Morris, who was in one of the apartments on the second floor, was knocked down by the shock, but was not seriously injured. No Fair at Macon This Year. Macon, Aug. 22.—The Georgia State Agricultural society has decided not to hold a state fair this year, but it is un derstood that the society will hold a fair next year at Hawkinsville in connection with the Wiregrass Exposition company, which holds annual expositions at Haw kinsville. Hon. J. Pope Brown is presi dent of both institutions, and he will doubtless make the joint exposition a great success. Established a Relief Department. Savannah, Aug. 22.—The Plant sys tem of railways has established a hos pital and relief department, member ship in which will be a requisite to em ployment iu any department of the sys tem after Jan. 1, 1897.

Church July 23, 1896. 1 ho Methodist church stands for total abst’nenco, and in opposition to the licensed sa'e and manufac ture of ardent spirits as a beverage. As long as tlu traffic receives the sanction by law, so long will we by tongue and pen, by our pray ers and votes enter our most sol emn protest. We consider tho license of tho traffic by our general government and by state law, a crime against God and humanity. We rejoice to know that there is not a spot of ground within the bounds of tho Dalton District where liquor is sold by the sanction of law. The Dalton District is a prohibition district. Should wo not do what and all we can to lib erate other sections of our state, from the curse and blight of tho traffic; which causes thoimprison ment, insanity, disease, suffering, death and damnation, of so many of our fellow beings. We rejoice at what prohibition has done. There are one hundred prohibition counties in tho state. Ninety-nine per cent of tho state’s territory is under prohibitory law. Tho legal sale is now driven into sixty-ono towns with 766 whisky saloons, these paying into tho pub lic school fund $112,000, causing us, in spite of ourselves, to educate our children with what is nothin? less than blood money. While the traffic pays money into tho treas ury of these municipalities and pays $112,000 into the public school fund, the people of Georgia pay $14,000,000 one way and anotii r to tho whisky business. $14,000,- 000 to debauch our sous and daughters and receive back $112,- 000 to educate them. If the mon ey spent for whisky in the last ten years had been properly applied, it Mould have endowed every insti tution of learning and made edu cation free. The diabolical traffic pays large sums of money into the general government, making every citizen a participant in the profits. This forces us against our will into the whisky business. Though the rev enue is so large it costs the govern ment immense sums of money to regulate the traffic, besides, it costs so much of ruin among the people. Both in the state and general gov ernment the whisky power has usi by the throat. Shall we, a civil ized Christian people, submit any longer to this merciless, fearful, diabolical oppression? Great financial progress, social good, domestic happiness and re ligious prosperity will come to us I if we will but wipe out this dark blot on our great state. Besides saving from ruin unnum-■ bered thousands, the abolition of I the traffic will stop the waste of, near half a million dollars. More than Democracy, Ropnbli canism or Populism, we need liber- I ty—freedom from the direst curse ' that affiicts our people. More th an free silver we need freedom from this fearful evil. More than a sol id gold basis we need a solid vote for prohibition. We cannot un derstand how a man can he a true patriot, not to say a Christian, who will vote for legislators who will still saddle upon a suffering people this curse of all curses. We recommend all our people in the coming election for legisla tors both in the House and Senate to vote on the prohibition side. We most emphatically endorse the Anti-barroom, or Bush bill and conrtnen. . our people tov e f or such candidates as favor the enactment of said bill into law. Your committee offer a resolu tion, copied from the action of the Georgia Baptist State Convention substituting the word “Methodist” , for the word “Baptist.” Resolved, That the Methodist voters be urged to support no one for the legislature who will not use his influence in favor of some mea sure looking to the suppression of the liquor traffic iu this state. Resolved, That we request the publication of this report in all the newspapers within the bounds of the Dalton District. W. A. Parks, Chairman. MARSHAL LCHEVES DEAD. A Young Man Well Known in This Count}' Dies at His Home In Montezuma. Montezuma, Aug. 18.—Marshall D. Cheves, the only son of Monte zuma’s honored townsman, Hon. O. C. Cheves, is dead. A shadow of gloom has been east over the little city by the announcement of this sudden death. This morning, as is his custom, Mr. Cheves went into the room of his son to wake him for breakfast. Upon arriving at his bedside he was. horrified to find him in the last struggles of death. A physi cian was hurriedly called but it was too late—Marshall Cheves was dead. All day yesterday and last night Marshall seemed in perfect health. After supper he and his father talked over the plans contempla ted for tho future until about 8 o’- clock, when he loft the house to Gallon some young ladies. He left them about 10 o’clock, seem ingly in perfect health. Ho was seen no more until his father found him this morning. He was 22 years of age, and a bright, intelligent young man, Ho was a social favorite with both old and young, and bid fair to bo an honor to his parents and country. He had just completed his first course of lectures in the medical university of Virginia. Mrs. Cheves, mother of the de ceased is on a visit to her sister in Rome, where she was notified of her son’s death this morning. Mr. Cheves, father of tho deceased, is cashier of the bank at this place and a brother-in-law of Hon. E. B. Lewis, who buried his only son a week ago. The friends and entire commu nity sympathize deeply with the grief-stricken parents in the loss of their only son and child. Par alysis of the heart is supposed t have been tho cause of death. Since 1878 there have been nine epidemics of dysentery in different parts of the country in which Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was used with perfect success. Dysentery, when epidemic, is almost as severe and dangerous as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore tho best efforts of the most skilled physicians have failed to check its ravages, this remedy, however, has cured the most ma lignant case, both of children and adults, and under the most trying conditions, which proves it to be the best medicine in the world for bowel complaints.

How does a man feel who is smitten with what is called sun stroke? During the past week New York has had a large number of partial victims iu addition to those on whom the effect of the sun’s heat has been fatal. One of I these partial victims, Frank Mc- Coy, tells the following story: “I was standing on the street corner about 2 o’clock in tho after noon. My pulse had been high all day and I was more or less op pressed by the humidity. A great many deaths had occurred in the morning and on the day before, and I thought the best thing for me to do was to keep cool. 1 drank a great quantity of ice water and perspired freely. All the time, though, my tongue was getting very dry. I could not keep my mouth cool. “I drank no liquor because I feared it would make me hotter than I was. About 1:30 o’clock my head began to throb and it seemed just as though it would burst. My tongue got heavier. A feeling of exhaustion gradually passed over my whole body, and I grew weaker and warmer. “Suddenly I felt my skin crack ing on my’skull. 1 thought a thousand pounds had dropped right n top of my head and then a wave of terrible heat swept over me, and I put my arm out to steady myself. That is all I can remember. The next thing I knew I was in the hospital and they were taking -me out of a cold bath. They put me m at 2 :05 o’clock and took me out ( at 3:30. Since then I have been very weak and the shock has dulled my head a little.” McCoy’s statement was tho most . complete of several that were giv- , en. Others could not remember when they began to feel badly, but . McC y was conscious of his coudi- , tion almost two hours before he was picked up and taken to the hospital Did You Ever Try Electric Bitters as a remedy for you troubles?

New York, Aug. 15-—ln the week ending at noon today 1,810 persons died in this city, which is J I a greater number than ever known for the same period of time. Six 1 hundred and fifty-one deaths were ( due to the heat alone, the death rate being 48.65. In the hot spells of 1872 and 1892, nothing like the mortality of this week was recorded. In 1872 there were 212 cases of heat deaths. In 1892 there were 261 cases of sunstroke, or about one-third of the mortality of this week. A gentleman was visiting a Scotch lunatic asylum, where new premises wore being added. The inmates were assisting. On seeing one of the latter wheeling a barrow upside down from the building to the stones, the visitor asked him why he wheeled it in that manner. "Oh,” said the lunatic, “that’s the best way./ The visitor took the barrow, and, turning it upside down, sa: I: “This is the proper way.” “That’s all you ken,”£said the inmate; “I triad it that way, but they illLd it fu’ o’ bricks.” So saying, he trotted on his usual way ALLIGATOR SENSE. They Don’t Have Much Be fore They Are 100 Years Old. “Do you know,” said Col. Ben Cason, leaning back in his chair, “that alligators are tho most affec tionate creatures on earth! They’ re wonders. They’ve got more sense than a dog. “How do I know? Haven’t I educated ’em? Ain’t there an al ligator 110 years old in Des Alle mand bayou that would work his tail to the bone for me if I asked him to? What are you laughing at? You get a gallon of molasses and a long-necked bottle and I’ll show you how to tame alligators. Its the easiest thing on earth. They’re so affectionate. “On June 23, 1885, I went to Des Allemand bayou fishing. A negro named Baptiste Fortier had just caught an alligator 100 years old. I could tell by the rings a round him. You can’t train a young alligator. 1 paid him $ 1.95 and Jim; that’s the alligator’s name was mine. 1 put a chain a round his neck. “Then I got mo a long-necked bottle, filled it with molasses and walked up to him. Ho opened his jaw to nab me. That was my chance. I shoved the nock of tho bottle in his mouth, just back of his ears, where an alligator has no teeth. “I tilted the bottle up. Jim tasted tho molassos aud began wagging his tail. Ho broke Bap tiste’s log, bat that was an acci dent. He was as gentle as asottor dog from tho minute he tasted tho molasses. “I taught him a lot of pretty tricks—how to catch flies, how to stand on his tail, how to chow to bacco. Finally 1 harnessed him up to a boat. Ho looked around at mo to see what 1 wanted. I reached over tho side of the boat and pushed him a little. Then ho understood. Off he went. hen I pulled on tho rope I had around his neck he was non plussed for a minute, but ho soon caught on, and now when I go to Des Allemand’s I never have to hire anybody to paddle my canoe. Jim attends to carrying me any where I want to go. “Say, do you know, Jim is es glad to see me whenever I pass that way as if ho was a relative of mine. What’s that? Os course, its the truth.
