BANKER ARRESTED. Prominent Business Man Brought Into Court. Rome, Ga., Oct. 9.—Jack King, one of Rome’s most piominent cit izens and president of the Mer chants’ National bank at the time of its failure a year and a half ago, was arrested this afternoon on a warrant issued before the United States court in Atlanta, charging him with a violation of the United States banking laws and embezzle ment. He was carried to Atlanta, where it is expected that he will give bond at once. The amount of the alleged mis appropriation is $22,000. Election News. Atlanta, Ga , Oct. 9. —The re turns so far received from Wednes day’s election show that the total populist vote will not exceed 85,- <MM). It was 95,888 in 1894, show ing a decrease of about 11,000. This falling off is largely attrib uted to the capture of the negro vote by Gov. Atkinson. The otlic ial figures coming in today do not materially change the estimate of the result as made in these dis patches yesterday. In a few sections of the state the populist vote was increased. In nearly every case it was due to the personal popularity of some popu list nominee. In Floyd, Wright’s home county, the populist candi date received a majority of 268. But this was not, in a party sense, a majority for populism, since Candler, democratic nominee for secretary of state, defeated Par sons, the populist nominee by over MM) votes. In Cotlee county, for the first time the’populist state ticket was given a majority and the entire county nominees elected. To off set this, however, twenty counties that went populistic in 1894 rolled up Wednesday average democratic majorities. This is true of Camp bell, Cai roll, Chattahoochie, Clay ton, Dawson, Douglas, Emanuel, Fayette, Gwynett, Harris, Meri wether, Montgomery, Paulding, Pickens, Pike, Polk, Rockdale, Tatnall, Taylor. Washington and White. One of the features of the elec tion is that every congressional district in Georgia is democratic and will send democratic represen tatives to the next congress. The only district held in doubt was the Tenth. Two years ago in the state election that district gave a small populist majority. Wednes day Richmond, Hancock and Washington have democratic ma jorities sufficient to offsett the populist majorities in the other eight counties, and show besides a clean democratic majority of 2,125.

Oct. 9. —Tom Richardson, a nephew of Bob Richardson, a well-known citizen, in a tit of despondency, killed himself today by shooting himself in the head with a Winchester ride. No cause assigned. In Memory, The pen moves lively to com memorate the life of a good woman and yet slowly with the weight of its own insufficiency, to tell into what hearts the light of a godly character has fallen, and where the last beam will touch down the vista of time. The death of sister Alice Perry which occurred on Sept. sth, re moved a well known figure from our midst. For over five months she had hoen a most patient suf ferer. She was a consistent Chris tian, a true and good neighbor, an affections te wife a loving and un selfish Brother. To have known her best ’was to nave admired her . rare fortitude-and the life of beau i tiful simplicity, the most. With her there was no flaunting of deed, of love and kindness, for praise of man or self gain, but each will be to her a treasure where moth - and rust do not corrupt. Her’s was a life of wonderous beauty, and dur ing her sojourn on earth she brightened the lives and hearts of all with whom she was associated by the purity and loveliness of her' character. Oh, it is a blessed life that leaves nothing but smiles and joy to memory. We often wonder why one so amiable and beloved is called from us in the prime of life. How we will miss her, yet we know that our loss is her eternal gain. Her virtues can not be commemor ated, neither will her sweet lovinp face ever be forgotton. Although we feel this irreparable loss most keenly, why should we mourn, when, after a well spent life, and after repeated struggles with pain and disease, she is only tranferred from the state militant to the state triumphant. We would admonish the Bereaved family to look to •Jesus, for if we only trust Him, and seek His presence, we will find that we will not be forsaken in the hour of need. The afflictions which are hardest to meet, are set in our path to show that infinite mercies are waiting for us and w r e have only to go forward and re ceive the blessings. Therefore let us bow in humble submission to the will of Him that doeth all things well, and strive to so live in this life, that when we like her have to try the realities of another world, we may be crowned with the faithful of Christ. ()h, why are our darlings taken away. And we, sad ones, left on earth alone, To nurse a deep—yea, cureless wound And weep through time from sorrow's moan? Oh, help us Lord to bear our grief, And meekly bow to the sovereign will, And the peace which passeth knowl edge, The aching void will surely fill. For thou doest all things well! And may our murmurings cease, every one, Courage give, oh Lord, thy rod to kiss, And grace to feel, “Thy will be done.” 'Tis hard to say, “Thy will be done,” When death with his resentlcss hand, Some cherished idol of the hsart lays low. Leaving us a sad and broken band. “Thy will be done,” Oh! God, ’tis hard, These sweet ties of love to sever; To listen for one dear, dear voice. And know that voice is hushed for ever. 'Tis hard to see the eyes grow dim, To watch the dear suffering face, And feel the hand which clasps our own, Grow cold aud still in death’s embrace. Mus. E. C. T. From the Rome Georgian. Mrs. C. G.

The young man is laid up with a bad case of the blues but his many friends hope he will survive. Mr. S. L. Knox visited Summer ville Tuesday. We hear it rumored that some of the candidates had whisky on the grounds election day or at least near enough that its effects were plainly visible, some getting pretty full of the stuff. We wish to say, and we belie - 9 but voice the senti ments of the best people of this section, that any candidate who will adopt such methods to get of fice is not worthy the vote of the very lowest specimen of humanity in the state much less the good people of this district. It is a re flection on the people of this com munity, and we fail to understand why any man should get up the idea that he could purchase their votes with whisky. A Presbyterian church -was or ganized at this place last Thursday by Rev. Dr. McMillan of Chatta nooga. No pastor was elected, but one will be elected shortly.

In Memory Os Lois Alabama, little daughter of Miner and Sallie Chandler, who was born May 18, 1891, and died Aug. 18th, 1896. Age 5 years and |3 months. Her illness was rendered sadder by its pecularity, but not extremely severe and of short duration, occa sioned by the bite cf a snake, Sun day at noon, which resulted in death at 4 p. m., Tuesday. Litt’e Barna was an especial fa vorite with the family, won by her sweet and gentle disposition. She always kept the place merry with her happy songs; and just before she died she sang, in her own sweet childish way: “Heaven—Sweet Home, My Home in Heaven.” I will say to her parents, broth ers and sisters, grieve not for little Barna as though she were dead for her mortality only only sleepeth while her immortality has gone to Him who said, “Suffer Little Chil dren to Come Unto Me;” and to Him who shall bruise unto death, the head of the last serpent. Let the sadness, the gloom which hangs so heavily over your home I be dispelled by the blessed thought that some day, yea, soon, you shall meet your loved one in that bright and better land; and join her in singing her last sweet song, “Heaven—Sweet Home, My Home in Heaven.” H. C. Wedgeworth. The News is changed this week to its former size, viz: six columns and eight pages. This enlargement is made at a very considerable cost, but we believe the outlay will be met by an increased subscription list and adver tising patronage. Owing to the non arrival of a lot of extra heavy paper we are compelled to use this week a verw light and inferior grade. How ever. this won't last long, and as soon as we have time to straighten matters out, the News will be brighter and better than ever. CHATTOOGA ASSOCIATION. A Very Intesting And Har monious Meeting. The Chattooga Baptist Associa tion met in fifth annual session Oct. 9, 10 and 11, with Ebenezer church at Zula, Ga. This session was noted for a large delegation, for Christian harmony and for spir ituality. Hearts and homes of broad hos pitality were thrown wide open to many who found the way leading thereto by a narrow winding moun tain road. The generosity of the citizens had its effect upon the vis itors for appeals for money were met by prompt and hearty res ponses. Everybody in the commu nity was liberal with smiles, plea sant words and then with ’possum ham, chicken, etc. etc. Rev. J. M. Smith preached the introductory sermon which was a good gospel discourse. Rev. J. G. Hunt was elected moderator. J. N. Rush and G. D. Espy were re-elected secretary and treasurer respectively. While J. G. Hunt served for the first time as moderator of an Association, yet the able manner in which he presided seemed to indicate years of service in this capacity. Busi ness was dispatched with great ease and rapidity but due attention was given every report or subject brought before the body. At appointed times appropriate and interesting sermons were de livered by J. H. Glazner, C. T. Starkey, J. L. Head and J. G. Hunt, Rev. W. J. Durham, of Rome, represented the Foreign Mission Board, “Foreign Mission Journal,’ ‘Christian Index,” and Mercer U niversity. The report on education was a bly spoken to by W. A. Davis, Mr. McWhorter and W. J. Durham. After the report on missions was read J. M. Smith, M. A. C. Bennett, B F. Hunt and J. J. Andrews made talks. The reading of the report on temperance was fol lowed by stir ring talks by J, H. Glazner, Prof. Etheridge, J. G. Hunt and Mr. Mc- Whorter. There were ether reports and talks both interesting and profita ble. The missionary sermon on Sun day at 11 a. m. by Rev. J.G. Hunt was a forceful and magnificent ef fort and was heard with rapt at tention by a crowded audience. Touching remarks were made concerning the death of the former moderator, the faithful minister and laborer, Rev. D. T. Espy, and a collection was taken for his mem orial fund. Ministers in attendance besides those already mentioned were: P. J. Deason, G. C. Garrison, Mr. Morgan, M. B. Tuggle and J. H. Cargle. At the clo. c e of the meeting on Sunday afternoon, “How firm a foundation” was sung, while sym pathetic tears flowed, parting hands clasped and then came the benediction. Taken all together this meeting of the Chattooga Association was thought by many to be better than any previous session. The Ladies Meeting. None the less interesting to the ladies was the Worn m’s Missionary Union had on Saturday afternoon at the school house. There were reports from the five mission so cieties of churches in the Associa tion. The amount raised during the associational year and reported by these was near $230.00. There were read three interesting letters from societies, one from J. J. Taylor, missionary to Brazil, and two papers—“ Precepts and Prom ises” and “Working for Christ.” Two recitations were sweetly rendered by two little girls. A scripture lesson, prayer and songs w ere parts of the program me. At the close of this meeting a society consisting of eleven ladies of Ebenezer church was organized E. P. LYERLY, GA. Election is over and we see no more of the smiling candidates. We miss them on every corner, and they had been with us so long that we feel real lonesome. They had quite a lively time at Hammond’s gin last Thursday As they were unloading a load of cotton the suction fan struck fire, and almost in the twinkling of an ©ye fire flashed over every pile of seed cotton in the house. Several bales of cotton were slightly dam aged and but for the river of wa ter, and heroic work the house, with 35 or 40 bales of cotton would have been destroyed. It is thought that the fire caught from a match in the cotton they were unloading Rev. Mr. Rosser began a pro tracted meeting here Sunday night. While the congregations so far have been small, yet quite an interest is manifes ed. He has written Rev. Mr. Wairaven, of Dalton, and expects him to assist him. The fall session of Lyerly High school opened this morning. I have not learned the number of students in attendance. W. H. Ennis and mother, of Rome, were visiting Mrs. Starling Sunday. J. A. McArver is on the sick list this week. Misses Lillian Rambo and Annie Bell Lee, two charming young la dies of this place, visited Summer ville Monday. Dock Dover is the happy man of Lyerly at present. He says its the prettiest little girl baby he ever saw that arrived at his home last Thursday. M. Summerville High Scuool.
