It takes 1875 votes TO elect.

THE Brownsville States and Bee
of last week pays Senator Bailey
the following high compliment:
Senator Bailey led off in one OF
the ablest efforts of his life. After
discussing federal politics briefly,
and showing the reasons for his be-
lief in the election of Hancock and
English next Tuesday, he devoted
the remainder of his speech to state
politics. 1t is said by those who
heard his argument in favor of state
credit, that it was convincing, mas
terly and powerful. ae gave full
history of the creation of the debt,
showed the validity of the bonds
and held that the faith of the state
was irrevocably pledged to a fair
and honest settlement with its cred
itors. He closed by a strong appeal
for state credit and state honor and
the success of the regular demo-
cratic ticket.

Ireland ina a Blaze.
New York Herald.

1t is clear from all this that the
movement sweeps forward rapidly,
and must soon put hostile forces face
to face in the field if the land league
movement is prepared to fight Eng
land elsewhere than on its OratOrial
platforms for the failure of the
prosecutions, which is already fore
seen, must lead to the use of force.
We believe the opinions expressed
in our dispatches as to the probable
failure of the prosecutions to be en-
tirely accurate. But if they fail,
what then? 1t will thereby be
made evident that in the capital of
Ireland men can openly incite their
fellows to resistance of the law, APP
prove the assassination of men who
own farms and discusst schemes. for
armed resistance to the authorities
and vet be out of reach of the law.
This will be taken as proving the
insufficiency of the law for so grave
an occasion, and parliament will be
assembled and q demand made for
extraordinary legislation. Author
ity will be given to suspend the
right of HabedS corpus, and the troops
and constabulary vigorously han
died will be depended on to preserve
order. There will consequently be
civil war if the land leaguers are
ready to resist; and if they are not
ready it will be unfortunate to their
cause that they precipitated a condi-
ton that justities the use of force
against them.

THE LADIES OF THE FUND SOCIETY

The Rev. J. d. Barbee will be-
gin a series of doctrinal sermons at
the Methodist church in GAINESVILLE
on Sunday, 18th of November, and
continue every night during the
week. The first of the series will
be devoted to a discussion of the
divinity of Jesus Christ. All the
Others will be designed to develOpe
and emphasize the doctrine of saliva
ton by faith, as contra-distinguished
from a religion of sacraments and
ceremonies. Mr.. Barbee proposes
to prove from the word of God that
water, by any mode or any quaint
ty, holds no necessary or even i'm
portant connection with the ques-
ton of personal salvation. He also
proposes to prove that there is not
only no mode of baptism taught in
the Scriptures, but that it is impos-
sible there should be a mode of bap-
tism. The meetings will probably
be protracted some weeks, with the
hope of a spiritual awakening in
the community.

FROM ONE OF THE BOYS.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: We read
a short paragraph in a recent issue
of the Tobacco Leaf which says DR..
Wright has gotten up n scare to
brighten tour girls" into the belief
that the boys are all leaving them,
and it closes by saying: "That
trick is little too thin, old gentle
man; it can't win" We will let
the motive for DIR. Wright's article
be what it may-whether in the in
terest of GAINESVILLE and her young
men, or "trick"-we let those who
do know GAINESVILLE and the young
men of GAINESVILLE read it and
Judge for themselves. We know it
will be appreciated by some think
ing men who do not, like the Leaf,
run after trickery.
We regret that we cannot give
the Leaf full list of young men
that have gone to seek, among
strangers, homes that they gave
up, severing ties both of friends and
interest. Who are to blame, the
young men who with but few eX-
captions are now filling positions
with strangers who do appreciate
both their worth and ability, or
those who have filed the position
they could give to the young men
who have now gone, to strangers,
whose only interest in GAINESVILLE
and her people is confined to them
selves individually.
We do not think the people of
GAINESVILLE realized what the young
men have been forced to do until
awakened by the timely article of
the Chronicle.
We would like for the Leaf to call
on Messrs. Wilkerson and Smith
for the list of eighty-five names
they called to memory, then see if
they cannot augment the list by
several more. Are there any now
there who would gladly work if
they could find employment, that
cannot leave? Leaf, do you realize
the fact that all of these have left
within eighteen months? If you do
not, then facts are not what you are
wishing to find.

AmusenaenfS.
MRS. HENRIETTA CHANFRAU.


This lady is not a stranger tc
GAINESVILLE, though through acct
dental circumstances the present
writer had never seen her before last
Saturday. So much the worse for
"the present writer" Desiring to
say what is the leading excelIency
in Mrs. Chanfrau's acting as briefly
as possible, we would say that it is
her portrayal of the lady in society.
A night at the theatre where she
plays is equivalent to visit to a
true lady, intelligent, fair and pure,
one who delights in giving pleasure
to all who surround her, and likes
to be surrounded by those whom
she can please. This was the i'm
preston produced by her acting in
the first act of "Parted." As the
tragedy Of the drama was devel-
oped, histrionic powers of a very
high order manifested themselv yes,
powers which would give her high
rank among the tragedians of the
day if she should devote herself to
the classic drama, but she could
play nothing without fascinating
her audience.
The supporting company was de-
cidedly above the average, but we
must make an exception against the
gentlemen who played the part of
DeWoolf, the fraudulent broker.
He was most culpably ignorant of
his part, being at loss for the |
words in almost every scene. There
is no excuse for such want of prepa-
ration in a combination company |
where a small repertoire gives plenty
of time for study. 1t was different |
in the old stock companies, where
an actor frequently had to study four
or five new parts in one week.
Without that excuse it is simply an
affront to an audience to go on the
stage as ill prepared as did the gem
tleman in question. 1t was the
only drawback on very fine per-
Torrance.
THE FAY TEMPLETON STAR ALL
ANCE.
This company plays here next
Tuesday. We find favorable no.
tees of them in journals from every
part of the country, including Mex
leo and the West Indies. The play
in which they appear is Mariana"
which in various forms of drama
and opera has long been a favorite
in England and America, France
and Spain.
This company seems to be ope-
ratio as well as dramatic, and they
finish their performance with one
of Gffenbach's sparkling nlorcealtc,
'Chou-Fleuri." This will introduce
an agreeable variety into the enter
We hear rumors of Janauschek
again, OF Mrs. Chanfrau again, ac-
companied this time by her hus-
band, and many other entertain
ments. Mr.. Elder seems determ-
med to give us taste of everything
that is going.
We append the following from
the Tuscaloosa, Ala, Times, where
they have been performing:
We have not time or space to par

has ever visited our city. The mu-
sic was exquisite and the acting

nents refined, classic and in good
.aste.

The comptroller has issued the

The comptroller has issued the

CONTROLLERS OFFICE, NAsH-l
WILLIE, October s, 1880.
To trustees, clerks and other col
Letting officers Under the prOvis-
ions OF senate joint resolution No.
80, acts of 1879, page $50, the treas
urer and comptroller, in the absence
of legal opinion by the attorney
general of the state, thought it their
duty to refuse to receive, in pay
ment of dues to the state, the bills
of the bank of Tennessee known. as
sold ISSUE" Now, however, that
the matter is about to be tested in
the courts, the encouragement
gives an opinion to the effect that a
statute cannot be repealed by res
olution; that the law is still in force
authorizing collecting officers to re-
ceive, from Taxpayers, 'Old issue"
Tennessee money in payment of
state taxes and that it would be
unadvisable to subject the state to
payment of costs by further refusal
thus to receive it.
In presenting this character of
IuluS IOT the CI6ull vi YOUR I6NSIluG
account, please let it be shown in
your report, or by certificate or 9TH
erwise, that it was received in pay
ment of state tax, from whom re-
ceived, date, etc.
1t may be unnecessary. but not
improper, to add that this circular
applies wholly and entirely to old
issue Tennessee money, and moth
ing herein contained can be con-
strued to imply that new issue is re-
ceivable in payment of taxes.
Very Respectfully,

BISHOP roccErr, .. D.. IL. D.

David Seth Doggett was born in
Lancaster county, Virginia, in Jan
uary, 1910, and died at his home in
Richmond, Oct. 27, 1880. He was
educated in the University of Vir.
ginia. In 1929, when only nine
teen years old, he joined the Vir-
ginia conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, and was appoint
ed junior preacher to Roanoke cir
cult. The following year he was
sent as preacher in charge to Mata-
muskeet circuit, then known as the
toughest and hardest of circuits; it
was situated near Currituck Sound.
We are told that young Doggett
wept aloud and uncontrollably when
his name was read out to this unin-
wiling field. "But he went, and did
so good a work, and made such
proof of his ministry, that next
year he was stationed in Peters
burg" After this he labored as
preacher and pastor in the chief
places of his conference.
From 1912 to 1916 he was profess
sor of English literature in Ran
dolph-MacOn college. During this
time he did admirable service as an
educator; and besides, he preached
the gospel with great acceptability
and usefulness. With the excep-
ton of these four years his entire
ministry, extending over more than
half century, was spent in the reg
ular pastoral work. From 1850 to
1854, while serving pastoral charges,
he edited the Southern Methodist
Quarterly Review. When sta
toned in Washington City he i'm
pressed many of the leading minds
of the land gathered at the national
capital; as he did subsequently by
his ministry in Richmond, Va, dur
ing the session of the Confederate |
congress.
In 1866 DR.. Doggett was elected |
and ordained bishop. The delicate
and difficult duties of this high and
holy Office he discharged with pur-
ity, fidelity, and great success.
In person Bishop Doggett was
tall, slender, and graceful, with con-
siderable capacity for endurance.
His scholarship was extensive and
accurate. In manners he was court
eous, affable and elegant. His piety
was sincere, fervent, consistent and
scriptural. His preaching was evan
gelical, persuasive and powerful.
Truly, he was an eloquent man, and
in the Scriptures. In labors
he was abundant, and his labors
were honored of God in building up
the church, and in saving many
souls.
Many of our readers had the
pleasure of seeing and hearing this
distinguished minister and prelate
during the district conference at
Port Royal in May last. Can we
ever forget either his presidency or
his preaching? And what shall we
say of his final farewell address a?
How tender and touching! How it
moved and melted the hearts of his
hearers!
Servant of God, well done
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought, the vict'ry won,
Enter thy Masters joy.
