HOW’S THIS, JUDGE?
Populist Hines Sued for Alleged
Breach of Faith,
From the Looking-Glass.
Judge Hines, the populist candidate for gov
ernor, will have a very serious charge of du
plicity to face in the superior court, when a sen
sational suit that was tiled against him the past
week comes up for a hearing. There are a
number of features connected with the story
that make it one of unusual interest.
The plaintiff in the litigation is W. W. Brigg,
an author an<l inventor who has resided in At
lanta five or six years. He has a brother, John
F. Brigg, for 20 years past mayor of Sudersfleld,
England, a city twice as large as Atlanta. He
has a fortune estimated at 110,000. A nephew,
Edward A. Brigg, is his New York agent, and
while only 23 years of age, handles immeise
sums of money. Brigg’s wife is a niece of Ex
Chief Justice Lumpkin, and is very highly con
nected throughout the state. With their only
child the}- live at 352 Whitehall street.
The suit, which would be interesting from the
prominence of the principals alone, is for $25,000
damages for a beti ayal of Brigg, by Hines, Shu
"AJbrick & Felder, whose client he formerly was.
.the firm is charged with selling out his interest
the other side.
'1 The petition recites that in 1891 these attor
neys were employed by Brigg to collect a claim
of 110,000 ou a mortgage which was due him by
tlie Southern Cotton Mills, the lawyers to lie al
lowed a contingent fee of 10 per cent. Suit was
brought in the Fulton county superior court to
recover the amount.
Brigg says that he made confidantes of his at
torneys by virtue of his relations witli them. In
this way they got control of the if 10,000 mort
gage in his possession. Shortly afterwards the
entire property of the cotton mills was brought
to sale at public outcry, at which sale the attor
neys had the control and managemeut. The
property was worth SIOO,OOO. Just previous to
the sale a conference was held by Briggs with
hi’counsellors, in which he was advised to buy
the cotton mill, the la wyers agreeing to as.-ist
mm in such away as-to protect the claim of $lO
UW. The property was sold and bid in by Brigg
*or *lo,ooo.
Right here is where the treacheuy is said to
have begun.
Hie sale itself was conducted by- the United
crates marshal, who, Brigg says, allowed him
wi I 1 ~ n,I,uJ C B to procure the money with
winch to make good his bid. But while’he was
and ere the expiration of that time.

OUR CITY CHURCHES.
The First Methodists.
This church has been under repairs for
several weeks. The doors were thrown
open last Sunday morning, and a full
school greeted the superint etipent. The
auditorium presents a handsome appear
ance, having been tastily carpeted and
papered by the “Lend a-lh:n<P’ Society.
The interior finish will now compare fa
vorably with any church in the state of
similar size. The ladies composing the
above society deserve great credit for the
indefatigable labor and sacrifice shown.
The male members should give them ev
ery encouragement, and show their ap
preciation of their efforts by assisting
them in a substantial way.
The morning service was well attended,
and the pastor’s discourse on ‘‘Church
Zeal” was one of great power, and gra
ciously received by the attentive audi
ence. His sermon at night was full of
the Holy Ghost, and the good impres
sion made on all will not be easily for
gotten. Bishop Haygood will fill the
pulpit tomorrow.
The Presbyterians
School was opened promptly by our
superintendent, A. W. Lynn. It was
very gratifying to liote the increase in
the number of pupils. Nothing stimu
lates teachers and officers so much as to
see the school growing in size, as well as
grace. Let all pray for nobler and
greater work to be done. Morning les
son, Matthew ii, 13-23—an account of Jo
seph and Mary’s flight into Egypt with
our Savior.
Our pastor preached a magnificent ser
mon to a crowded house of eager listen
ers. Subject: “Does Sin Pay?” I take
tlie following from Mr. Matthews’ Sun
day night sermon:
St. Matthew xii, 12.—“1t is lawful to do well on
the Sabbath day.” Subject: "Mau’s Sabbath
Work My text is a part of Christ’s reply to a
crowd of fault-finding Pharisees, who had been
following Him for the purpose of finding some
thing upon which they could base an aceuasion.
God pity the fault-finders of this day. I sup
pose every one recognizes the fact that the Sab
bath should be fully observed. The question
with us is, What may I do? and what shall I not
do on Sunday ? The Sabbath is a divine institu
tion for the welfare of man. It was created for
man’s comfort. We are taught that God Him
self observed it. It was observed in Eden and
added to the pleasure of that clime. So we see
that the Sabbath is coeval with man. The chil
dren of Israel observed it in the gathering of
the manna ; it was observed by Abraham, Moses
and the Prophets. It was thundered forth from
Sinai, and putin the laws. It is, therefore, a
a moral obligation. Again, where there is no
Sabbath there is no virtue, no Chriltianity; it is
the badge of a Christian and the cordial of hu
manity. It was transfcred from the seventh to
the first day of the week, and therefore becomes
a weekly memorial of Christ’s resurrection,
thereby giving us an epitome of the gospel from
creation to redemption. It then teaches that
God designed a part of every week to be devoted
exclusively to religious worship. If we observed
it for no other reason, we should because Christ
used that day and conquered our last enemy.
The Disciples kept it immediately after the res
urrection ; they assembled for worship every
Sunday. The Pentecostal shower came on Sun
day. John had his grand vision on Sunday. So
we see that the Sabbath has been observed from
Adam down to the present day. Therefore it
was made for all men and classes of men ; it is
absolutely essential to man’s welfare. Body and
mind can do more work by resting one day out of
-seven; it is advantageous to his personal appear
ance ; he can clean up and look decent; it is es
sential to his moral growth. He is commanded
to put away every thought and worship only
God, and grow Christ-like. Again, it is essen
tial to his social religious being, because he can
come to God’s house, and there meet and mix
with his brethren. The laws of the Sabbath do
not conflict with the laws of humanity and
mercy. Do not abuse the laws in order to sin.
How do you spend the Sabbath at home? Do
you feast, visit and read the daily papers and
trashy novels? Do you open your stores? If you
do, au honest, virtue-loving, law-abiding, intel
ligent grand jury will indict you. Have yon
such a grand jury? It is not well to run trains,
stables, sodawater stands and cigar counters.
They all are violations of the Sabbath and Geor
gia law, and if you had a grand jury with a
backbone they would stop it. The loyal Chris
tians do not get their mails and go driving on
Sunday. There are men in this town who can
spend hours down town at the postoffiec or the
depot, as members of the colored-mixed-Sunday
-school, but can’t go to church. The weather is
too oppressive. God pity such hypocrites.
Some will go on Sunday excursions, others mak
ing “briefs”, others reviewing books and psoting
accounts and writing letters. These are not acts
of mercy, and therefore sinful, and be who so
spends the Sabbath shall not prosper and pun
ishment is sure to follow. We are too loose; I
pray that every member of this church will sus
tain the grand record of our church on this sub
ject. God help you to keep the Sabbath, wor
ship Him. visit the sick and rest. May you fi
nally live in the land of Sabbaths.

Rev. M. A. Matthews’ Calls.
Hearing that Rev. M. A. Matthews
had received two calls to leave Dalton,
The Akgus asked him :
“Mr. Matthews, is it true that you
have been asked to accept two very prom
inent churches ?”
“Yes, sir. See these letters and tele
grams, that have been coming almost
daily, urging me to accept.”
“Where are the churches ?”
“One in Kentucky and one in Texas.
Danville, Ky., and S in Antonia, Texas.
The church’in San Antonia is said to be
one of the largest and most desirable
churches in the state.”
“What are the salaries ?”
“About three thousand dollars each.
One letter says it shall be more if I de
mand it?”
“Is the salary a moving cause with
you ?”
“No, sir; it never has been,and I hope

“Will you accept either of these calls?”
“I cannot tell; lam subject to God’s

Father Clifford Gone.
Rev M. J. Clifford left for Rochester,
N. ¥., Monday. Os course, all this sec
tion regrets the separation, and mourns
his loss. Os him a recent issue of au At
lanta paper said:
“I espied a Catholic priest hurrying
down Whitehall street one day this
week. It was Father Clifford, a man of
stalwart, robust physique. His broad
expanse of chest, breadth of shoulders
and quick, active movement, denoted
superb physical development. Hearing
him converse but once you would in
stantly be impressed with his vigorous
mental strength, and classic attainments
“In professional, scientific, literary,
financial or political life, he could un
doubtedly wrest the highest success from
fate, and be a splendid leader among
men. Dowered with all these gifts of
natuie and grace of education, he fol
lowed his convictions and tastes, and laid
them at the altar of the Catholic church.
For years he has walked and ridden over
the rough mountains and furrowed val
levs of North Georgia, administering
spiritual solace to the few Catholics who
inhabit that section.
“Hot suns, sudden storms, dangerous
roads, even exhaustion and hunger
doesn’t deter him when a sick or dying
Catholic sends the message—‘Come.’
“He is on the sunny side of 50 years,
and with bis brilliant intellect ami vari
our accomplishments might easily achieve
greatness and a fortune in another avoca
tion. But he is not a priest for the
money there is in it. He is not out for
the dust. His aim is higher, his object
nobler, his faith too pure to consider the
compensation.”
Never truer word was written of a
Godly man, and all North Georgia en
dorses it, as well as wishes him well in
his new field.
Don’t be talked into having an op
eration performed, or injections of
carbolic acid used, as it may cost you
your life. Try Japanese Pile Cure.
