THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS.
SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 28, 1896
DEMOORATSBEFUSE.
To Fuse on The Populists Plans
In Georgia.
The democratic executive com
mittee of tho state held a meeting
in Atlanta last week to consider
two questions. The first was for
the purpose of nominating four
candidates of the supremo court
under the amendment to the con
stitution adopted at tho state elec
tion.
The next question before the
committee was to consider the
proposition of the populists for fu
sion on the state electoral ticket.
That proposition, which was
made by resolution at a meeting of
the populist executive committee
held last Thursday, is as follows:
“Resolved, That as a final effort
to secure the union of the silver
forces to which the democratic
party is committed and to test the
patriotism of our professed allies,
we do now withdraw the following
electors: William 11. Felton, state
at large; H. C. Newton, second
district; Thomas B. Davis, fourth
district; W. S. Whitaker, sixth
district; J. J. Green, eighth dis
trict; William Lansdell, tenth dis
trict, and insist that tho democrat
ic party of Georgia withdraw six
of their electors with the under
standing that the thirteen shall
cast their votes for Bryan and Wat
son.
“Be it further resolved, That if
the democratic party does not ac
cede to the foregoing just and rea
sonable proposition within five
days from date; then be it
“Resolved, That our central com
mittee is authorized and empow
ered to withdraw, if advisable, our
remaining electors or reinstate
those that are now withdrawn and
that we concentrate every effort of
our party in the election of our
congressional nominees.”
It was plainly evident to the
committee that the populists did
not really want fusion, but were
making a demand that the demo
crats ignore Sewall and give tho
whole vote of Georgia to Tom Wat
son.
After a full discussion of the
proposition the committee passed
the following resolution:
Whereas, The Populist state ex
ecutive committee has made a prop
osition which completely ignores
fusion by eliminating the candi
dacy of the democratic nominee
for vice-president, Mr. Sewall, and
has cut off the democratic commit
tee from further consideration of
the question by fixing an arbitrary
imit, which expires today, giving
this committee no opportunity for
consideration of a movement for
proper fusion; therefore be it,
Resolved. That the chairman
of the democratic state executive
committee appoint a committee, of
which he shall be the chairman, to
properly present to the public the
attitude of this committee in its
refusal to accept the unreasonable
and unjust ultimatum of the pop
ulist committee, clothed as it is in
offensive and unbecoming lan
guage.
The resolution was passed by a
full and unanimous vote and will
meet the approval of the democrats
of Georgia.

In a cleverly written article on
“The Feverish American,” in the
current issue of The Alkahest, gen
ial Joe Johnson says no one knows
at what a fearfully rapid pace
Americans live, until they are
brought in contact with the people
of the old world; that the latter
people are treading leisurely and
happy down life’s pathway, com
fortable, peaceful and calm, and
then he wonders why we Ameri
cans are traveling like the very
Nick was after us. The fact is,
Joe, we’ve either got to get a move
ment on us or the bailiffs will be
digging us in the short ribs. The
Americans are not hustling for
amusement. —Columbus Enquirer

The way to cure catarrh is to pu
rifv the b'ood, and the surest, sa
fest, best way to purify the blood
is by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
the Ono True Blood Purifier.
Hood’s Pills are prompt, efficient
always reliable, easy to take, easy
to operate.
Good Housekeeper has this in
it:
“To whiten the hands, two
drachms of diluted sulphuric acid,
' one drachm of tincture of myrrh,
! four ounces of soft water. After
washing with soap, dipping the fin
gers in this mixture.
Removing stains from the hands
by a little oil of vitriol and cold
water.” It is a pity Good House

THEY’RE AFTER HIM.
Dr. Robins of Atlanta, Charged
With Heresy.
Rev. John B. Robins, pastor of
one of the leading Methodist
churches in Atlanta, and an emi
nent writer and theologian, has
stirred up a storm of adverse crit
icism on account of his new book,
“The Family a Necessity of Civili
zation.” One of his critics, Dr. H.
P. Myers, says that the book is
“heretical, unscriptural and falla
cious, and agrees neither with the
word of God nor with sound reason.’
On the other hand Dr. I. S. Hop
kins, says, “I know nothing of the
merits of the discussion but I would
rather take John Robins’ opinion
on theology than that of any of
his critics.”
In the book Dr. Robins defines
his belief on original sin, on regen
eration and on the conversion of
infants; and his radical views, the
critics claim, are opposed to one
of the first and cardinal principles
of the Methodist church.
Before going to Atlanta several
years ago Dr. Robins was presiding
elder of this, the Dalton district,
and has preached here numbers of
times. He made a splendid im
pression upon his hearers and had
many warm friends here.
Resolutions of Respect.
Whereas, Go 3, in his allwise
providence, has seen fit to call our
beloved brother, N. L. Keown,
from labor to refreshment, after
permitting Lim to labor here dur
ing 81 years, sixty-three of which
were spent in tho way of salvation
and in beautifying and ennobling
his life as a member of Mt. Hick
ory Lodge, No. 133 F. and A. M.
of which he was a worthy member,
and whereas he loved the order and
treasured its noble principles, and
in his death we feel that the state
has lost a good man, the church a
worthy member; this lodge a
bright and noble exemplar of its
principles, and his family a loved
and honored head. Therefore be
it resolved,
Ist, That we bow in humble sub
mission to the will of our Heav
enly Father.
2nd, That we strive to emulate
his noble example.
3rd, That w T e tender to the
family of our Brother our warm
est sympathy in this sad afflic
tion.
4th, That a page in our record
book be set apart and suitably in
scribed to his memory, and that
the members of this Lodge wear
the usual badge of mourning for
one month. Respectfully sub
mitted C. B. Atkins, )

Old Mrs. M—, who was seriously
ill, found herself to be in a trying
’ position which she defined to a
friend in these words: “You see,
my daughter Harriet is married to
! one of these homypath doctors and
' my daughter Katie to an allypath.
; If I call in the homeypath my al
ly-path son-in-law and his wife git
mad, aa’if I call in my allypath
son-in-law my homeypath son-in
law, and his wife git mad, an’ if I
go ahead an’ git well without eith
er o’ ’em then they’ll both be mad;
so I don’t see but I’d better die
outright.

TRAMMELL STARE DEAD.
One of the Most Prominent Young
Lawyers in Georgia and a
Y/ ell Known Legislator.
Dalton, Oct. 22.—Hon. Tram
mell Starr died at a few minutes
after noon today.
Mr. Starr was one of the best
known men in the state. He was
a member of the last senate and a
prominent political factor in
North Georgia. He was a lawyer
of wide reputation, and if his
health had not failed him would
have been a candidate for solicitor
general of his circuit.
Mr. Staar was taken sick two
months ago and blood poisoning
set in. His condition has been
critical for some time, but his
friends never lost hope and his re
covery was not despaired of by his
physicians. His death causes
widespread sorrow among his wid
circle of friends.
There should be no politics in
choosing Georgia’s additional su
preme court justices. The selec
tion of pure men and men of abil
ity is of too much importance to
admit of political trading.—Co

It Was a Sign.
Young Englishmen visiting the
United Seates have ass many ab
surd and amusing experiences as
Americans have when in foreign
countries. An English traveller
had been assured that west of the
Missouri river the entire country
was infested with bears, some of
which were so bold that they came
into the towns. He stopped in a
Kansas village, and in the evening
started cut for a walk. The stores
were closed. He rambled about
the place and started down the
business street for the hotel. Sud
denly he saw before him on the
sidewalk a big bear, sitting on its
haunches with wide open mouth
and paws extended, awaiting his
coming. In a moment he was on
top of a porch, crying for help,
but no one heard him, and the
bear sat and w r atched him. All
night long he stayed there, tremb
ling for fear bruin would climb the
porch but comforting himself with
the idea that it was too small to
be used by a bear.
At daybreak some men came a
long, and one of them wheeled the
bear back to the doorway with the
remark : “I wonder who put that
sign in the middle of the walk.” —
