What The State Conven¬

The State Democratic Conven¬
tion has met and adjourned. All
the business of the convention
was transacted without a hitch. I
Mr. Brown did not attend the
convention but he was met by a
great many of the delegates at tlie
Kimball House and was given an
ovation. The convention refused j
to endorse Thos. E. Watson for
vice president, though a motion
to that effect was made.
A platform was adopted along
the lines upon which Mr. Brown
made his race. Disfranchisement
and prohibition were endorsed.
The platform recommended that
the members of the Railroad
Commission lie reduced, and that
the office of special attorney be
discontinued, and that the Rail¬
road Commission shall cease to
exercise jurisdiction over street
car lines. It favors going back
to the unit plan in the primaries
insted of the popular vote as we
had in this last primary. It
favors paying all of the old sol¬
diers anaTTa! pensions in one pay-,
ment instead of quarterly as at
present nnd the prompt payment
of school teachers.
Judge Twiggs of Savannah
made the nominating speech . Sev¬
eral elo np^p t speeches seconding
the nomination were made. Al¬
together it Yvas a notable conven¬
tion. Absolute harmony existed
and therntmost enthusiasm and
everything passed off as smoothly
as one could wish .

Raids By Revenue Officers
On last Tuesday United States
revenue officers Z. E. Norton and
C. D. Williams made a raid out
west of Pelham a few miles and
found Frank Roam with every¬
thing in readiness to start lip bus¬
iness, He was preparing to make
a choice brand from the juice of
the plentiful black-berry, using a
fishing pole for a worm. Frank’s
still was demolished, his berries
-and juice turned out and Frank
was carried up to Albany, for
trial.
This is not Frank’s first offense
in the \va\ of illicit distilling and
it may be some time before he vis¬
its those parts again.
Tlie raid at Jonas Johnson’s re¬
sulted in a find of a still and a
bout 75 gallons of beer. The still
and beer were destroyed but no ar¬
rest was made.
A still was also destroyed

The Revival Meeting At
The Methodist Church
Continues.
The services have grown in in¬
terest and scarcely, if ever, have
the church goers of Pelham heard
better preaching than that done
by Rev. Mr. Jenkins.
Many of his sermons at night
have been great expositions of the
book of Romans and wherever
the text may be he always brings
to his hearers the great truths of
the Gospel.
Mr. Jenkins went from the pas¬
torate of the church here to a pro¬
fessorship at Wesleyan College,
Macon, Ga.
Recently he was elected presi¬
dent of one of the Church Colleges
with a compensation of $2,500 per
year, .but declined owing to his
great desire to re-enter the pas¬
torale this fall when his Confer¬
ence meets in Quitman. His
many friends predict for him an
appointment to one of the largest
churthes in t lie .Conference- or- per¬
haps a presiding eldership. .
...
^ t ua $
he, and his lay f riends will rejoice
in his success.
• The meetings will continue
throughout Sunday. And all who
fail to hear the sermons will miss
a rare treat both spiritually and
intellectually.
