SINGING BAPTIST.
The Presbyterian church cho
assisted by a number of sing-rs
from the Baptist and Methodist
churches, are practicing now of
rights, to be prepared for the meet
ing of the Presbytery. And faith
they need to practice, when it
comes to good, soul stirring mu
sic, the Baptist of this place can
put to blush the Methodists and
Presbyterians combined. Good
music adds greatly to the interest
of ary church service, and is a
strong inducement for many peo
ple to attend who o herwis would
not go; therefore it is a talent well
woith cultivating.—Chattooga

Today the matter came up again
and the difference rose between
the conductors and Mr. King.
The conductors asking Mr. King
to take the place of the Street Car
Co. as a surety for them in case
they turn over the money.
The attorney for the plaintiff
ay s hat if Mr. Kin believed the
claims unjust, and could prove
what he states in his letter to th*-
conductors, that all he would have
to do would be to go into court and
file a dissolution bond as provided
by law.
Two of the conductors, Messrs.
Garrard and Perry are not at work
on the cars.
A DISGRACE.
TWO MEN AND TWO YOUNG GIRLB AR

Officers Sharp, Logan and Huff

The parents of the Jones girls

The case was a plain one this
morning aud whi'e Col. Moses

A STRANGE STORY-
OF TUB STRANGE ACTION OF AM OLD
TIMER.
The following story appeals iu the
current issue of that enterprising
sheet, the Lawrenceville News.
Mr. John Martin reports a strange
story of a clock at his home- Mr.
Martin lives about four miles east of
of town, and is a citizen well known
in tnis county He is honorable an 1
upright, and his word would give tie
story credence if there were no oth
er witnesses. But there are plenty of
witnesses who testify to the truth
of his narrative, in each of his instan
ces here after refered to,
There are plenty of people in the
house who heard, saw and are wit
nesses ot these strange facts, and the
question is only, “What made the
clock strike? And why has it done so
under the same peculiar circuir
stances twice before? Os course we
Jo not pretend to say there was any
thingsr> ernatural about the occur
ence, but it was wonderful, to say the
least of it.
“There are more things in heaven
and earth, Horatio, thau are dreamt
of in your philosophy.
Mr. Martin says this clock has
been in the family for 70 years and
has not ruu a lick for the past 16
years—has not ticked once. Not al
the works are in it, and it has been
tried often and found to be utterly
impossible to make it tick even once.
There is nothing left of the striking
apparatus but the gong and hammer.
Various persons have often trial to
make it strike, always without effect.
Five years ago when Mr. Martin's
mo ier died was. the first time the
awful and strange conduct of the,
clock was noticed. A few hours be
fore her death it struck seven times,
with an intermission of 50 or 55 min
nteis between each stroke, until fie
last was "to follow, when an
intermission of only 15 minutes i c

AND THEY ARE MISLEADING
The Hnatlerot Rome was the Only
I‘nper Represeated in the Hall at
the Meeting of the County Hemo
cratie Executive Committee.
The following “Special’’ from
this city* appears in this mornings
Constitution and is powerful in
terestiug reading matter to Evans
men who do not know any better.
Rome, Ga. April 17—The pr -
ceedings of the executive committee
of Floyd county developed some
interesting tactics, which shows the
way things stand in Floyd county.
Xo sooner was the meeting called to
order than one of the supporters oi
Mr. Atkins n moved that it be a
star chamber session. An Evans man
rose and said that, so far as he was
concerned, the whole county may be
present. This announcement was in
stantly sustained by a vote.’’
“Tee nxt motion was made by a
supporter of General Evans, wh o
moved that the democrats of the
county vote directly for their choice
in primary. The Atkinson men en
deavored to have the county's vote
placed iu the hands of the municipal
district uainstructed delegates to
act in county convention bat the
primary motion was passed over
their heads without any trouble.
In leaving th* matter to a primary
General Evans’is assored of the vote
of Floyd county. The people we for
him. and the only chance of taking
the votejiway from him was having
it loft , nninstructod,, delegates. The
supporters of General Evans saw
through this and placed the matter
in the hands of the people, where
General Eva ns, s interests are safe
Toe prim r, faxes pl ice on tis 2( h
of May,
In the out set the husler of Rome
wants to stated this fact at the maet>n
of ih Io county Democratic
Executive committee last s .turday—
tie only meeting held this year the
holler of home wa» the only paper
Represented in the hall.
How* v r since that time “spe
cial reporters’’ have, ou heresay
■>r imagination, sent out reports
ihat have beea garbled and miss
leading, and truth and common
justice demands that a correction
be made.
In the first place, the executive
committee met, not to legislate iu
the interest of either candidate
fur Governor, or candidate for any
other office.
They met to decide on and map
out a course that would oe for the
best interest of Floyd County De
mocracy, aud to a man the Hustler
of Rome believes that every mem
ber did his duty as a Democrat,
subjecting every partizan to the
party's good.
One member of the committee
did suggest that the doors of the
hall be closed and stated that he
had been a member of the com
mittee, in years gone by, and that
while it was not a rule yet it was
not an exception, for on divers
occasioiiS'thecommitiee|had tiaus
acted its business behind closed
doors. If his motion received a
second the Hustler or R >me, does
g< t remember, but we do know
that the Atkinson men were in the
majority in the committee and
no such motion passed.
The next paragraph is also
missleading. The only member of
the executive committee who ex
pressed an opinion against prima
ries was an Evans min, but he
stated that he knew the people of
Floyd wanted a primary and he
would agree to it.
There was a difference of opin
ion as to the manner of primary
but the vote stood seven to five
and bad it been partizan and the
Atkinson members set on acer-

Constiiution to the contrary.
As to General Evans being “as
there was no one in the plelitera
tions who would have consented
to leaving the to ‘‘uninstruct
tain line of policy they could
have easily ca.rri°d it their way,
and as to the Evans member*,

As to leaving “the matter to a
primary” every member of the

committee was unatnimous and
suredof the vote of Floyd county
we would like to refer the Consti
tution to its files of the iast Sun
day in December, where Floyd was
quoted without a single Atkinson
vote, and quoted by a reporter
said to have been “instructed to
take the first ten men or first ten
prominent citizens.” A repor
which the Constitution then clairal
ed to be “fair and impartial.
It was about that time, too,
Max Meyerhardt, the daddy and
wet nurse of the Max Meyerhardt
evans club of Home was getting in
his telling work, and “Old Potty
the morning Jonah” was claiming
Floyd seven to one.
Now what do we see? The last
heard fromsfax, he was “muzzled
and muzzled’’ by his own followers
while the Tribune’s last claim,
msde just after the joint debate
when everything was said to be for
Evans, was a claim of two toone.
And the Constitution of to day
—it says: “In leaving the matter
to a primary General Evans is as
sured of the vote of Floyd county
