A NOVEL sWINDLE.

A few weeks ago q man located in
Green county and called himself "Abbid-
ligal" or "Holy One" said he had re-
:eived instruction by Divine revelation
TO free the eolored people Of Georgia
from the bondage Of a false religion,
and deluded them into believing he was
the eolored Savior. He held services in
the fields and groves and adorned him
self on these occasions with gaudy tur-
bans and flowing robes. He had beads
and ornaments that he sold readily as
shields against the power Of Satan. lie
was regarded by the white people as
harmless crank. The stranger secretly
informed the eolored people that there
was 'land of promise" which he
had recently discovered. It was, he
he said, place prepared for ne
groes, where they had neither
to work nor starve, q paradise that was
to be the home Of all who followed him.
He babe them steal or to sell al they had
and put their money in his keeping, and
on certain night they would start on
their journey. A dozen families sold
their cabins, crops, and all they pos
sessed, and put the money in the hands
of "Abbidigal." The swindb appointed
two nights ago for meeting ut an isola-
ted spot, when a band Of about forty
men, women and children cOngregated
and waited in vain. 1t was ascertained
that the "Holy One" was
several miles distant in an opposite
direction, making his way across
the country. The pilgrims pursued cab
bidigal, " caught him, hung him to tree,
and the exasperIted mob lashed his nude
body with brier reeds until they believed
him dead. He was found sometime
later by white people aad cared for. but

met at Indianapolis, Ind, on Wednes-
day, Chairman Dickie, of the national
committee, called the convention to Or
der and invited officers of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union to the plat
form with members of the national COM
mittee. At this moment Miss Frances

platform, and was greeted with enthusi-
astic applause. The formal organization
of the convention was then proceeded
with, after the singing of America" by
the assemblage and prayer by Rev. Sam

ment of committees recess was taken
until p. m. Upon reassembling it was
found that the commi:t,e on credentials
was not yet ready to report, so the time
was taken up for nearly an hour with
songs and addresses. The committee on
credentials then reported. The report
showed delegates to have been selected
by every state except Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and South Carolina. The terrific
ries all chose representatives except
Wyoming. The committee then stated
it had decided to permit delegations
present 10 cast the full vote of their
state. Also that provisional delegates
be given full power to vote in the con-
vention. This gives total vote of 1,030,
although the actual number of delegates
present will fall considerably short of
that number. Immediately following the
credentials report, came that of the com.
mIttee Of permanent organization. Its
recommendations were: For permanent
chairman, John p. st. John, Of Kansas; ;
for secretary, ]. B. Cranfells, of Texas;
second secretary, Mrs. NJ. N. Brown, of
Cincinnati. The action of the commit
tee was unanimously concurred in. After

clans, timed s:45 p. m., but not given
out until after 10 o'clock, on Wednesday,

outside of the Sheridan house, but il is
announced that no more bulletins will
be issued until Thursday morning. About
10 o'clock, the general was seized with
o severe and rctching cough, which d Jed

TO be very much like q drowning man,

the patient was rallied again, and at
1880 o'clock he had improved to soms
extent. Ills breathing was still labored

MR. BowLEs' EXPERIMENT.

9he little roon vas stufty, the little room was
hot;
There was nothing disagreeable that the little
room was not;
The boys were more than half asleep. the
teacher gave nod,
Then ronsed himself to rattle up youngster
with his rod.
Now, boys - he said, '.just follow me; for
once think wen yield
10 summers overwhelming power, and seek
the pleasant field:
There Nature spreads her treasures: omen wide
your sleepy eyes
And look on Natures wonders; learn her ss-
crets and grow wise'
Ths boys made no objection, so they trooped
out in mass:
They perched themselves along a wall or set
tied on the grass.
While ME- Bowles, the teacher, showed in low,
Impressive tones,
The lessons to be gathered from the leaves or
messy stones.
The boys thought this quite gloomy: thew were
yearning to be free,
For lessons and the meadow didn't seem To
quite agree;
70 Simpson Junior watched his chance, and
slipped away unseen:
The gentle zephyrs wandered DER the SPOT
where he had been.
Then while the learned teacher went softly
maundering on,
Tue boys stole slyly out Of sight It'll five of
them had gone;
But still the teacher lectured on with scientific
zeal,
And showed the way the rlminants digest
their grassy meal.
But Short and Tommy Jones, and Dick were
stripping for swim;
smith thought that Bowles could Get along
without more aid from him,
And Robinson was hunting for some non-exist-
ent eggs,
And damaging his nasal tube, and barking
both his legs.
Yet Mr.: Bowles dilated on the progress of the
Within the switch he carried, and he laid it on
his lap,
And produced pocket microscope and care
fully explained
Tho extraordinary methods by which Natures
ends are gained.
Next he lifted up his spectaces to ask his little
class
Some questions on the method of the growth
OF meadow grass,
When, los the sight that met his eyes abruptly
made him stop
No boy was left but jenkins, arho ,cas sleeping
:s... LIE top!
So MFR. Bowles determined his new system
wouldn't do,
II boys preferred to climb 4 tree to learning
how it grew.
He thrashed them all next morning, and they
had no further chance
VI leading learned Mr.. Bowles another such a
dance.
