DAILY ENQUIRER • SUN: COLUMBUS GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1886.
TALK FROM TALBOTTON.
A ColB»b«Hlt« Taking In the Columbus Baptist
AdNorUtlon.
•Correspqndenoe Enquirer-Sun.
Talbotton, Qa., September 23.—I am very
much like the parrot this morning. “I am Berry
I spoke," ’cause I know you will looking for
me to speak again from “the last word I said
in fact, after this I shall always be opposed to re
ports asking for “fhrther time." We never know
what is ahead of us, and we should be very care*
Oil before we make such requests; but “experi
ence you know"—well, just here, 1 don’t propose
to give you all the experiences I have had. It
might not be best for my comfort when
I get home. Put this in small
type, for some people skip the fine print. I took
some dots, but whether I can follow them is an
other thing. One should experience the circum-
.stances to appreciate. You know that I am in
somewhat straightened circumstances—tryiug to
play delegate to an association and recuperate at
the same time. Right here let me ask your typos
to excuse chirography, as this desk top is not
very level, being a ridged trunk top, and I am
listening every minute for the breakfkst bell.
By the way, were you ever a delegate, and have
you found out how often and how much some
delegates can eat? Am I wandering? Well,
note No. 1. The introductory sermon was
preached by Rev. Mr. Page, of Rehobeth church.
Text 21st chapter of Job, 15th verse. Ho talked
to us for just fifty-one minutes on the omnipo
tence of the great Creator, Ruler and Proprietor
of the universe, citing many ways by which He
made his influence known and felt—earth
quakes, etc.—reminding us that whatever we
claimed in this world was not ours, save as a
loan, and that we should certainly be
called to give an account of our
stewardship; that He required and
expected homage at our hands, etc. The latter
part of his text (the efficiency of prayer) was
treated in a very powerful and impressive man
ner. Home influence and civilization were suffi
cient illustrations to convince the most skeptical.
The sermon over, we adjourned for dinner Ah,
then it was we had a chance to witness the gen
erous hospitality of the Talbotton people. I
can’t describe, so I will just say they cannot be
surpassed. The systematic activity of
the committee of appointments and
arrangements cannot be surpassed. If
you ever hear of any one who attended this as
sociation as a delegate, visitor, pleasure or health
seeker, who was overworked or did not get more
than he bargained for, send him to me.
Dinner over, the organization was effected in
a short time, and, according to Baptist usages, in
decency and in order. Rev. R. H. Harris, of your
■city, was chosen moderator and S. B. Baldwin
clerk. Both acknowledged their compliments in
A happy and dignified manner. 1 would like to
say more right there, but that break
fast bell is in constant expectation.
Excuse me, if you p loose. Should I ever meet
up with your “principal man" in my travels I
will give him a full account of all the details, for
they are indelibly impressed on my mind. I
forgot to say that the business session was opened
by one of the most feeling, earnest prayers by
Bev. C. C. Willis to which I ever listened. A
very touching talk of Dr. DeVotie was made
while the committee was counting the votes I
was indeed sorry that the coant was over so soon,
for the doctor, in his usual pleasant style, was
speaking very effectively on the fellowship of
brethren in the church family and friendly anions.
I should have been glad to have heard him longer
on these different relations. Preaching at night
by a young minister. Waller. I think, is the name,
lie haudled his subject well. The audience was
large, many standing for want of seats. Well,
After the sermon—
There goes that bell. Never mind, some other
time, or never; breakfast now. Yours, W.
P. 8.—I have seen a veritable storm pit. I can’t
tell you about it now. Breakfast is my meal of'
all others.
A Novel Suit.
Opelika Times.
Quite a novel suit was filed in the circuit court
Monday. Jeff Nunn, a notorious negro convict
and habitual law-breaker, now working out a
sentence under Col. R. J. Trammell, for carrying
concealed weapons, has sued Mr. T. L. Gordon,
sheriff of Lee county, for $250 damages for
arresting him on election day. He considers his
honor and dignity injured to that extent. He is
continually before the courts. He has been
prosecuted for stealing cotton, and has recently
served out a long sentence on the chain gang for
carrying concealed weapons as stated above, and
is now serving out his second sentence for the
same offense. On election day, Sheriff Gordon
having a warrant for him, and hearing he was
about leaving the state, arrested him; but not
until he had exercised the invaluable right of
voting the independent republican ticket. We
suppose he thinks the success of that ticket will
make his suit successful. In this he will bo mis
taken. It will be a long time before a jury of
white men in Lee county give a notorious negro
convict damages against a democratic sheriff for
arresting him for violating the law. If they do,
every criminal in the county should commence
suit at once against the officers, and every negro
arrested, tried and convicted of any crime should
recover damages every time he is imprisoned by
the sheriff. Lee county is not ready for this yet.
There will be no negro jurors to try such a case.
White men will still control Lee county.

Cincinnati,September 21.—At 11 o’clock
last night the Thurman Club, about 100
strong, headed by a band of music, march
ed to the Gibsoti House and tendered a
serenade to the distinguished ex-scuator
r , vvh £3e honor the club was named.
»Y* e l' ,umnnrl in responding said:
My Young Friends: When I was a boy
at school many years ago, one of the text
bo, )k8 I studied was a Latin one, “Cicero
on Old Age,’’ and I remember well when I
read that beautiful treatise in which the
author sets forth in the most beautiful and
impressive manner that consummation in
old age which would in somo degree be a
compensation for the trials of youth, 1 won
dered if that lot would ever be mine.
Now, when I look down upon your heads
and see your bright faces and know who
you are and what you are, I feel some
thing of regret that the old author never
had a Ciceronian club to honor and con
sole him in his old age, as you have mine.
I thank you, first, for the honor you have
done an old man in taking his name for
your club, and, second, for the kindness
you have manifested toward me by your
attendance to-night and your beautiful
serenade. My friends, no one can say you
are worshiping a rising sun. No; it is a
setting sun, low down in the hori
zon, and fast disappearing forever.
I shall never hold another office
nor shall I ever be a candidate for
office; hence it will not bo in my power to
reward my friends or to punish my foes,
You come without hope or fear in that
respect, merely to honor an old fellow
who from boyhood has been a democrat,
and who until his dying day will be a
democrat, and who is pleased not to be
forgotten while he still-lives. It is my
pride and boast that I have always been a
strong and steadfast adherent of the
principles of democracy, and when my
dying day comes, as soon it must, and my
eyes are turned to behold the sun In tho
heavens for the last time, It will be the
eyes of a democrat that will look upon
that orb. And when I atn under the sod,and
some one stumbles over my grave, there
will he find the epitaph, “Here lies a man
who was an honest democrat his whole life
long.”
addressed went to Boston to tho Crawford
Houso on Monday, and saw Mr. Jenkins
there. They went into a private room to
gether, and there Mr. Jenkins told his
friend that he was going west. “Why 7”
was the astonished query. “Because my
business in Lynn is in such a condition
that I can’t stay there any longer,” was
the reply. Ho added: “I am Hinder j.1
beyond endurance,” His friend asked
him If ho was guilty of anything criminal.
Mr. Jenkins said: “No, but I have
done wrong.” It appeared that
ho had been borrowing money to a con
siderable extent, and found himself una
ble to muet his obligations in this direc
tion. When his friend asked him how
much ho would need to , make himself*
Hquare, Mr. Jenkins replied: “From $5000
to $7000." He said, “I am going west to
work to pay off this indebtedness,” but he
did not state where he proposed to locate
himself. He desired his friend to take a
message to his wife stating his intentions,
and thin gave hor her first intimation of
what was on hor husband’s mind.
It is not known whether Jenkins had
? liven notes for money' borrowed or not.
lis wife and family are left with nothing
but a small piece of rent estate, and the
house in which they lived was mortgaged.
IN A FAITH CURE TENT.
A Needle In Process ot Extraction from a Man’s
Foot Through Faith.
New York Sun.
At the end of a shady road that leads
through the New York bay cemetery in
Jersey City, and almost on the shores of
the bay, stands a big square tent. The out
side is scrupulously covered with mosquito
netting, and the interior is decorated with
printed Bible sayings. In this tent a series
of religious meetings have been kept up
since Wednesday with great enthusiasm.
It is the fourth annual conference of the
Mount Zion Sanctuary. The sanctuary
proper is a two-story house’with a mansard
roof, which stands near the tent. In the
summer of 1880 Sister Antoinette Jackson,
while at Long Branch, received a revela
tion that this house, with the two acres of
land surrounding it, should be purchased
and be called the Mount Zion Sanctuary.
A religious corporation was organized two
years later, under the laws of the state,
and the sanctuary has been carried on
ever since. Belief in the possibility of
healing by faith 1b a tenet of the sect.
The big tent was crowded from early in
tho morning until late at night yesterday.
The back seats were kept full by people
who dropped In to see and soon dropped
out, while the front seats were packed
with converts who had a minute each to
tell their experiences. Sometimes two or
three would oe standing at a time waiting
for a chance. A young man from Brook
lyn said he had been called crazy by his
friends, but crazy or not he gloried in his
belief. He was once troubled, ho said, with
epileptic fits. When he got the loast bit
excited he used to go into a fit. He went
to a distinguished doctor and took lots of
medicine, but the more he took the worse
he got. Finally, he looked to Jesus and he
has had no fits since.
“A little while ago,” he continued, “I
got a needle in my foot. For the time
being I backslid. I forgot my faith and
went to a doctor to get the needle out out.
He said he couldn’t cut it out without in
juring the foot, and that I’d better wait
and let it work out at some other part of
the body. Then I took my ease to Jesus.
The needle is there yet, but It is coming
out juBt where it went in; and that is a
thing unknown to science.”
A large woman, in relating her experi
ence, said: “Once I was troubled with too
much voluptuousness. I was so fat that I
couldn’t walk two blocks. I took anti-fat
and I grew fatter. I came to the Mount
Zion Sanctuary a few mouths ago, and
there I decided to pray to he less voluptu
ous. When I began to pray I weighed 376
pounds. Jesus has taken away 76. Now I
weigh only 300.”
Other experiences followed. The meet
ings will continue until to-morrow. After
the telling of experiences and preaching,
the leaders annoint sick people who are
brought in.
A Mysterious Shooting.
Scranton, Penn., September 21.—Short
ly after 6 o’clock this morning a number of
persons living on Franklin avenue, in the
centre of the city, witnessed a strange and
tragic incident. Two young men who
were walking briskly along, engaged |in
animated conversation, suddenly sepa
rated, and one of them, drawing a revolver,
fired at the other, taking deliberate aim at
his breast. The wounded man ran for
some distance, but soon grew faint and
begged some one to assist him to the hos
pital. He was taken to tho office of Dr.
Burnett, where it was found that tho ball
had entered his left side and taken a down
ward course. The bullet could not be
found. The injured man is named Eugene
Dwyer, and he is 26 years old. His recov
ery is considered impossible.
The assassin was a young, handsome,
well dressed fellow, and Dwyer says ho
does not know him. Shortly after he did
the shooting he expressed regret that he
had not killed Dwyer instantly, and said
he hoped he would not recover. Ho offer
ed to accompany some one to police head
quarters, but no one would go with him,
and he walked leisurely away and has not
been seen since. It is thought that there
is some motive for the mysterious tragedy
which Dwyer does not care to reveal.
AGENT JENKINS’ FLIGHT.
(June West to Escape from Ills Creditors.
Boston, September 21.—The business
community of Lynn was greatly disturbed
to-day by the announcement that George
A. Jenkins, one of the leading real estate
and insurance agents of the city, had dis
appeared. Mr. Jenkins was associated in
his insurance business with Air. Frank B.
Marshman for some time, but recently
Mr. Marshman bought out his interest in
this department. It had been noticed that
for several months Mr. Jenkins appeared
g reatly depressed, as though by some
eavy mental trouble. On Saturday he
told Mr. Marshman, who has continued to
occupy the same office with him, that he
was going to Alton Bay, N. H., on Monday
to look up some wood land for a purchaser.
Mr Marshman understood him to say that
he should only be gone for the day.
At 7 o’clock Monday morning a friend
received from Mr. Jenkins a letter request
ing him to meet the writer at the Craw
ford House, in Boston. This letter came
bv private channels, and not through the
Dost office. Mr. Jenkins added the words:
“Meet me In Boston at once. The party

Secretary Lamar never loaves Washing
ton unless it is in a mysterious way—at
at least the newspapers describe it aa mys
terious. The explanation of it is that the
secretary is a very sh.v man, and lie has
been bo beleagured by office seekers that
he has become extremely cautious in his
movements. So nowadays, whenever he
wants to be gone from the city, for fear
that he may be waylaid by office seekers
wherever he may be going, ho arranges
with his private secretary to suy to news
paper men who come about the depart
ment that the secretary lias disappeared
and no one knows where he has gone; that
he came in the morning and started to do
some work, suddenly picked up his hat,
went out, and that was the last seen of
him. Regularly once a month this para
ph gets into the newspapers, and
. Lamar is again und again
described in tho imagination of
newspaper correspondents ns a very
dreamy man, who has only occasional
periods of wakefulness in which ho works
by fits and starts, as the mood takes him,
and thus accomplishes the enormous
amount of work which he is known to
turn off. This shows what a smart man
Mr. Lamar is. I have a number of times
heard his private secretary giving his usual
“stiff” to the reporters when Mr. Lamar
sat in his office conversing with me. Once
I saw him read a paragraph in the evening
papers describing one of these mysterious
disappearances, and then take his carriage
and ride the length of F street to the Ebbitt
House, exciting the astonishment of every
body who had read the evening pnpers
and supposod that he had gone off
like a naif-dazed opium eater—“the
word forgetting; by tho world for-
ot." The fact of the matter is that
Ir. Lamar is one of the most systematic
men in the administration, and no mem
ber of the cabinet accomplishes so much
hard work day after day as he does. He
is a man of remarkable legal acumon, and
has again and again torn up decisions
written by his staff of land clerks to sit
down and labor over all the facts and prin
ciples involved, and himself dictate a de
cision whioh he iB willing to have go forth
to the world, and these decisions of Mr.
Lamar are some of the richest and ripest
productions that have ever emanated from
any one holding that office. More than
any man in the cabinet Mr. Lamar is a
statesman, and his scholarship is a constant
surprise to all who come in contact with
him. As a judge of men his discrimina
tion is far superior to that of the president.
If the south is ever to advance a presi
dential candidate Mr. Lamar should be the
man.
ANTI-MISCEGENATION MOVEMENT.
Organization In Louisian* to Prevent the Inter-
, marriage of Whites anil Blacks.
New Orleans. September 20.—A prac
tical movement has Deen inaugurated in
Bossier parish, in this state, for tho aboli
tion of miscegenation. There have been
during tho past year or so several spas
modic efforts in this direction, both in
Louisiana and Mississippi. Self-consti
tuted vigilance committees have warned
white men with negro wives and
mistresses to leave them and lead u
regular ltfe, and when this failed
have ridden through the parish,
severely whipping both men and women
who disobeyed this order. In Mississippi
there were several arrests, convictions and
sentences for violation of the law prohibit
ing intermarriages between the races, and
in Louisiana one man was soverely cut in
a scrimmage arising from this movement.
But these anti-miscegenation raids were
spasmodic, tho freaks of a few wild young
men. The present movement is more se
rious and more general, and is a thorough
and practical organization, like that of tho
prohibitionists, to break up miscegena
tion.
The flrst meeting was held in Bossier
parish in July, whore the subject was gene
rally discussed, and adjourned over to this
month to find the drift of public opinion.
It was found that public sentiment among
the whites was well nigh unanimous on the
subject. The recent meeting held at Cot
tage Grove, in the upper portion of Bossier
parish, was the result. There was no
secrecy or mystery about it. It was an
open mass meeting, in whioh all tho people
or the neighborhood—farmers, clergymen
end others—assembled. The meeting was
opened with prayer and presided over by
a clergyman. Tne resolutions were of the
strongest character. Those guilty of mis
cegenation were threatened with social
boycott, and warned that they were in
sulting the race feelings and moral princi
ples of the community. But the gist of
the meeting was tho appointment of a vig
ilance committee of nineteen to serve no
tices on these white men living with negro
wqmen—the vigilunts were not instructed
as to what they should if
this warning is unheeded—and the
appointment of another commit
tee to assist in the organziation of unti-
miscegeuation societies in other parishes
in the state.
This plan of operation is warmly sup-
S orted by the press. The Bossier Banner
eclares that race purity must be pre
served at all hazards, the line must be
sharply and distinctly drawn, and those
who cross it must p«.j the penalty. The
Robeliue Reporter of Natchitoches, edited
by the father of the present attorney-gen
eral of the state, approves the idea.
As this sentiment prevails in most of the
neighboring parishes, it is thought that the
present organization, by giving a start to
the anti-miscegenation sentiment, which
in this part of the state is now stronger
than the anti-liquor sentiment, it will
Bpread through north Louisiana ii not into
the neighboring states of Mlsslsoppl,
Texas and Arkansas. There is no law in
Louisiana against the intermarriage or
cohabitation of faces, this prohibition,
which was strongly urged by many
persons, being voted down in the late con
stitutional convention, but miscegenation
is growing rarer every day, in deference to
the strong public sentiment on this point.
Was El Coyote Killed {
Lampasas, Mox., September 21.—Dis-
S atches from New Laredo, stating that El
oyote’s family deny the report that he
was killed in the reoent battle with tho
federal troops near this city, place tho
officers in an unenviable position. Tho
official report of the engagement was made
publio, and numerous congratulatory tele
grams were received from federal, state
and municipal officials in the frontier
dates, all thanking Capt. Herrera and Col.
Foran for ridding the country of the ter
rible Coyote. El Coyote is a large, power
ful man, with long, flowing heard. It is
believed by many leading citizens hero
that tlie troops mistook Juan Villerat for
El Coyote, as lie closely resembled the
leader, and the terrible hand-to-hand fight
that he made for his life made them feel
doubly sure that they had the bold cliiof-
tian. The governor has ordered tho
mayor to have tho bodies properly iden
tified. _____ .
