is coveTed with dense pine forests, the

large numbers of both white and black.
These are very illiterate, and there is
much race prejudice which frequently
leads to conllicts. Douglas, the county
seat, is a small village of the most prim

ty is only a few thousand.
At midnight word was received from
Waycross that the rioters are led by a
white man named L. B. Varna, who
operates a turpentine still. He had a
dispute about some land with Thos.

Memorials. It was made the second

After the sermon the Synodieal Com

Great changes are going od, both
North and South. National politics is
changing base and fkidirg n-fw centers.
The tariff will divide the two great
parties in the next election. McKinley
or no McKinley will be the battle cry,
and both sides will find adherents above
and below the line. The tendency of
this will be to wipe out the line and de

MR. CLEVELAND NOT DEAD.
He Says he Never Felt Better in His
Life.
f By United Press.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 22. The
rumor which gained wide circulation
throughout the country to the effect that
Hon. Grover Cleveland dropped dead
in Washington to day is totally un
founded. Mr. Cleveland arrived here
on a rooming train from New York and
proceeded directly to the Arlington
Hotel where he is occupying a suite of
struction caded for. Dr. Rumple re
quested that this bo deferred until Dr.
Shearer's arrival, as it was a matter in
which he was e pecially interested Toe
chairman of committee on Bible Cause
was permitted to make a report without
the signatures of the other members of
that committee.
This report embodied a lengthy state
ment of the admirable work of the Ameri
cad Bible Society, which is the mainstay
of the Bible work of the Svnod: called
attention to the ncti . of the last Gen
eral Assembly commending this society
and urging contributions from the
churches to the society, and offered res
olutions recommending annual contri
butions from the cburehes to that ob
iict. The rep )rt wiis adopted and the

rooms. Mr. Cleveland naving his at
tention called to the alarming rumor at resolutions concurred in, except the one
noon ?aid: "You may tell my friends recommending the division of the March
:,i if.
IVjiult,
that I have never felt better in my life
than I do at this time."
Mr. Cleveland expects to remain in
Washington until to-morrow afternoon
and possibly longer, as he has a case to
argue before the Supreme Court.

Rev. W. R. McLellan was appointed
Agent of Education to fill the unexpired
term of Rev. R. S. Campbell. A re
port from Dr. Richardson mainly sta
tistical was referred to said agent.
It was made the third order of Satur
day to hear the report of the agent of
educatif a.
The place of the next meeting was, by
invitation of Dr. Watkins, fixecl at Ral
eight. The time was left unsettled that
Dr. Watkins and Elder McPheetera
might consult together as to the time
most convenient. On motion 1,150 cop
ies of the minutes were ordered printed.
Rev. Dr. Pritchard, pastor of ihe First
Baptist Church, was introduced to the
-l- i i i
synod, and invited to sit as a vistmg
brother. He facatiously remarked that
he was raised on the Shorter Catechism
andfelt much at home among Presby
terians. He also requested that one of
the visiting ministers preach in his
church Thursday and Friday evenings
and asked that his old friend Dr. Wat
kins, of Raleigh, preach there Thursday
night.
At 11:40 the Synod took recess until
3:30p.m. At 12 m. Rev. H. G.Hill
preached a remarkably able sermon from

Alternoon Session.
The committee on Bills and Overtures
through their chairman, Rev. Dr, Wha
rey, made a report in response to an
overture bearing on the legality of a
minister of one Presbytery presiding
over a congregational meeting in an
other Presbytery, which elicited lengthy
discussion, and which was, after amend
ment by R2v. Mr. Arrowood. Adopted.
The committee made a report on an
overture from Concord Presbytery rec
ommending that the transfers te
be granted. Dr. J. Henry Smith moved
that in addition the counties of Wilkes
andAshe be transferred from Orange
to Concord Presbytery. After considei
able discussion his motion was lost.
Report adopted. Committee reported
on an overture from Fayetteville Presby
bytery recommending that the transfers
desired be granted. Rev. Mr. Johnson
protested against so many changes as
being a backward step, undoing what
the former Synod deemed it wisest and
best to do. Rev. P. R. Law advocated
the changes as a progressive step, saying
that the former Synod simply made a
mistake. The report was adopted.
The clerk presented an overture from
Concord Presbytery, referred to com

And behold there
The Eyes of the Country are Upon JIc
liinley's District A Mngnificent
Speech.
Canton, O , Oct. 22. -Gov. David Ben
nett Hill, of New York, spoke here yes
terday to a large crowd. There is a Dem
ocratic majority of about 2,000 in this
district, and as Maj. McKinley resides
here, desperate efforts will b3 made to
make it a Republican district. $250,000
was sent out at one time into the dis
trict and wholesale bribery will be re
sorted to to elect the author of the Mc
Kinley bill.
Gov. Hill denounced Reed's tyranny,
and said that this was a contest as to
whether the nature of our Federal gov
ernment is to be Radically modified and
the integrity of our institutions success
fully threatened. He spoke ably on the
tariff.
Then, in conclusion, referring to the
contest in this, the sixteenth district,
urging every democrat to vote for John
G. Warwick, the democratic candidate,
he said:
"For Mr. McKinley personal, I have
the highest respect. He is a gentleman
of integrity, capacity and mauy other
excellent qualities; as a citizen and
neighbor, I have no doubt you all think
well of him. He will not deny that he
is a most bitter partisan, and was never
known to support a democrat for public
position. His friends are nov asking
complimentary votes in his behalf. I
want you to refuse them, because he re
present principles in which you don"t
believe. He has no just claims upon
your suffrages as democrats. There has
never been a partisan outrage attempted
against your party which Mr. McKinley
has not supported. He voted to deprive
nine honestly elected democratic repre
sentatives of their seats in Congress. He
sustained every arbitrary ruling of the
despotic speaker. He voted for the in
famous force bill, by which he seeks to
deprive your party of every fair oppor
tunity to regain control of this govern
ment lie ha-s oeen instrumental in
foisting upon the country an unjust tar
iff measure which can only ba propeily
designated as the sum of all villainies.
He gives you no assurance that he will
Pursue any different course from that
wnich he has pursued in the past. He
is not entitled to the vote of a single true
and upright democrat who resides in this
district. His friends complain that his
district has been 'gerrymandered,' but
McKinley's voice is silent, when his par
ty friends, in other states, have 'gerry
mandered' other district against the
democratic party.
Fellow Democrats, the eyes of the
whole country are upon this dis'rlct,
watching the great contest in which you
are engaged with breathless interest
Republican corruption money, obtained
from these who have received govern
ment favor, will be poured into this dis
trict to debauch its electors. The integ
rity of the citizsns of this district is at
stake. McKinley cannot shut his eyes
to the fact that funds for his campaign
are being raised in every locality whose
interests his bill has favored at the ex
pense of the consumers of the country.
'I ask vou to measure out to him the
same consideration which he extended
to those Democratic representatives who
were ousted from their seats by his vote
No good reason can be urged why this
Democratic district should send McKin
ley to Congress to represent your inter
ests. Let him get his votes from his

THRASHED 31 ALIGNER.
A Congressional Candidate Practically
Disproves a Charge ot Cowardice.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 23, 1800. Col.
Tom Winn is a plucky little Ailiance
man who is making the race as the
Democratic nominee for Congress in the
Ninth district against Pickeit, independ
ent, and Darnell, Republican. The cam
paign is the hottest in the State.
A few days ago there appeared in a
paper published in one of the counties
of the district an article charging Winn
with cowardice in the war. Winn didn't
hear of the charge until yesterday,
when he was speaking in Gwinnet
county. As soon as he saw it he called
upon old soldiers who had been with
him to give their views, and a dozen or
so promptly gave the statement the lie.
It was charged that the article had been
written bv II. A Duncan, and an hour
or so after the meeting Winn met Dun
can in the road while on his way to
town to 11 auother appointment.
Duncan didn't deny having written
the attack, so Winn promptly proceeded
to take it out of his hide in the most ap
proved mountain style. Wiun weighs
12G pounds and Duncan 173 tor five
minutes there was a lively scene right in
the middle of the road. As the old
rhvme has it:
They fit and fit, and gouged and bit,
And struggled in the mud.
Then Duncan, who had decidedly the
the worst of P, "hollered enuff.'' Winn
dusted off his clothing, wiped off his
face, said he'd do it again if necessary
and went on his vote getting way re
joicing.
something for Georgia, for Atlanta, or
for thebouth generally. He is a very
modest man and tried to cxcn.e himselt,
but as they pressed him, he siid he was
not feeling wtll and had a strange dream
last night that troubled him, and he
would b3 glad if some Joseph could be
found who would interpret it.
Of course tbey clamored for his dream
and he said: "I dreamed that I was
dead, and had found my way to the gate
of heaven, and there was arrested by the
guards and asked for credentials. In
much confusion I examined my pockets
and found a late copy of The Atlanta
Constitution. The guards were dress
ed iu blue uniforms, and, to my surprise,
had guns in their bauds. They looked at
my paper and threw it aside "with con
tempt. I tried again, and found the
New York Tribune, which seemed to
mollify their displeasure, and they gave
me permission to go in and look around
awhile, and I was put in charge of an

Everything, everybody was dressed in

and Iobserved that the favorite game was
football, which was played with skulls.

AN ELOQUENT APPEAL.
(Delivered by Hon. James P. Buchanan, j
President ot the Alliance m Tennessee and
Democratic candidate for Governor.)
My Countrymen : Lst us not only
rally in defence of the rights and privi
leges we have left us, but to restore
those that have been taken away from
us by the usurpation of the leaders of
the Republican party. Under Demo
cratic legislation you have had enacted
and enforced the wisest and best laws
for the suppression of vice, immorality
and dissipation. You have seen the
public school system built up, fostered
and protected, until every chiid in the
State can get a common scnooi edu
cation. You have seen the great chari
ties providing for the care and sup
port of the unfortunates of the State,
until all who have their reason dethron
ed, or are sightless, or deaf and dumb,
can share in the blessings. In a word,
whatever of good has been accomplished,
has been done under Democratic legisla
tion. Then why, I ask, my countrymen,
need we go after new or false god3 ?
Let us stand bv the old ship of Democ
racy and follow its tenets as taught and
expounded by the fathers. She has
weathered manv storms in the past, and
if we will only stand by its glorious pre
cepts, and arouse the people to the dan
gers threatening our government and its
institutions, she will yet carry us to the
hayen so deyoutly desired
It is a discrace that the executive
committee failed to give us a candidate
and this is our only chance now, so let
all Democrats bury their prejudices,
look over all diff erences and enthusias
tically rally to Mr. Mewborne's sup
port.
