THE SALVATION ARMY. VERSUS The DANCE
ELIZABETH

The 4th Of July dance gotten up by the
American Marble Co. boys, in the grove
near the works was well patronized Good
shade sand good day there was no
Interruption TO the pleasures of dancing,
Getting, drinking and visiting until five D.
M At that time picnic Of the Atlanta
Salvation Army, returned from Kennegaw
Mountain where they had been spending
the day since 9 a. m. They passed the
dancing stand quietly on their way to the
railroad to take the train. For the mo-
ment cAioSty was stronger than the love
for the dance and all the jewellers followed
the army Of the faithful The Salvation
picnicers saw their opportunity, used it
while waiting for the train. The services
consisted Of music by good band from
their own members, alternating with short
sermons. The leading speaker was Mr..
Pink Green, who was born and grew up in
this neighborhood. His parents were
present at this meeting

and degi relation and told how this religion
OF the Salvation Army had cured him of
drunkenness, lying and gambling and ev-
cry other mischief. While he was talking
some ofthe young men connected with the
dance interrupted their meeting by shout
ing. six more couples for the dance" etc.
Mr. Green told them it was by such cons
duct as theirs that he had brought sorrow
and gray hairs to his parents heads.
One of the Salvation Army ladies' told
the girls present that she knew from expe-
Renee and observation that young men
take them to the public dance and
from that to worse, until their characters
were ruined and their reputation gone.
when these very young men would be fore
most to laugh at and ridcule them.
The result was that the dance was pracc
tically at an end when the Salvation Army
went their way. Otherwise it would prob.
ably have continued into the night with its
usual dangers to health and morals.
These people know the good of sermons
that say, Thou sIt the man"

OUR NORMAL INSTITUTE
COBB LEADS THE STATE.
Commissioner W. r. Power, the Pioneer
in this Work.

The most successful normal institute
ever held in the state, was that held last
week at the Male Academy, under the di.
rection Of Cor W. r. Power, our county
school commissioner and his able corps of
teachers.
The enrolment reached 70; the average
attendance being 60. Prot Zettler, of
Macon, and Prof Evans, of Augusta, both
said that it was better institute than
they had ever seen at the Peabody state
school,
Mr. l., b. Evans was selected by Mr..
Power to conduct the institute and his en-
thusiasm, zeal and pleasing manner, did
much to make the institute success He
developed the sentence method of teaching
reading, showing its advantage over the
old alphabetic method. His talks of
school discipline and kindred topics were
very suggestive and interesting He made
a very favorable impression upon our peo-
pie.
Prof. j. 9. Harris gave three instructive
lectures on the Opening Day" Gram
mar and School Programs and School
Tactics. Prot. Harris in these lectures
showed the secret of his wonderful success
as a disciplinarian-"A time and place for
everything and everything in lis place"
Prof j. S. Stewart, Jr. our popular and
talented President of Harwood Seminary
entertained the institute in lectures on
The Chemistry of the Atmosphere" The
Chemistry of Combustion, The Soil and
It's Relation to Plant Life Astronomy"
and Physiology" These lectures were
fully illustrated by experiments and charts.
They were one of the most pleasing and
instructive features of the week and our
Seminary won new influences by them.
Miss Pauline Pearce, of Washington, D.
c., developed the CRUDE method in nuns
bers. Miss Pearce is thorough scholar
and evidently we'll acquainted with prima-
ry work in the best schools.
Mr. V. e. Orr, gave two lectures on
Geogrophy, which the teachers enjoyed.
Prof. Duncan, of Powder Springs, devel-
oped the subject Of spelling and Prof.
Mizelle oEAustell discussed methods in
diagram work in grammar. showing q
clear understanding of the subject.
Superintendent Zettler, of Macon, did
good work on Friday in two lectures on
General School Work"
Such is a brief outline OF the work done
by the institute The teachers we're inter-
ested and taught and were enthusiastic.
Mr.. Power will hold another next year.
We do not believe that more profitable
week was ever spent by the teachers of the
county. Cobb has proved the county insti-
tute to be possible and we now call on the
other counties to fall in to line and next
year hold an institute for the teachers.

PREPARE TO VOTE.
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.

The Democratic Executive Com
mittee have ordered three primaries
IN Cobb county to nominate candi-
dates. The matter is fixed and there
will be no alteration.
Governor and State House officers
on Saturday, July 10Th. Remem-
Der to vote for Geo. y. Lester for
Attorney General, and for r. T.
Nesbitt for Agricultural Commits
sioner.
Members OF the Legislature on
Saturday, August Goth.
Congressman on Saturday Sep
TENDER 9th.
A man should be democrat who
participates in democratic prima-
ry.
He should reside in the locality
where the primary is held, and pos
sess the general qualifications of a
voter.
Where it is thought necessary to
protect the party against its enemies
getting into its councils or participa-
ting in its primary action, the local
executive committee should provide
the method, being careful to exclude
no democrat who openly espouses
the principles of the party and IS
willing to support its actions by
voting for its nominees.
In the case of conventions it is
usual and proper to pledge the dele
gates to the support of the action of
that body and the action of the par"
ty generally; in the case of the pri-
mary elections the party voting
thereat should be able to satisfy the
officers of election that he will be a
qualified voter in that locality at
the next election, openly announce
his belief in the principles of the
democratic party and pledge him
self to support the party nominees,

ENDORSED FOR THE LEGISLATURE

At meeting at Powder Springs, com.
mittee reported the following:
There being many issues of vital and
material Importance to the interests of our
county, prominent among them is the
advancement OF public school system,
that will bring about, in connection with
the present policy, better equipped and
more progressive, more advantageous Or
ganism also in recognition of the notable
features of improvement inaugurate1 and
sustained by that grand organization, the
Farmers Alliance. it becomes our duty as
men who love our State and county TO
foster and encourage all laudable efforts in
this direction and in any sphere where the
good of our county can be augm ented. and
to desire above all things her rapid devel-
opment and permanent prosperity, and to
this end, that we be represented in coun.
ellis of our State in Legislature by man
who will harmonic all possible conflicting
elements and come to the halls of Legsa-
ton untrammelled, unbiased, clean in
character, pure and sound in Democratic
principles, whose birth, education, social

Therefore, Resolved That in Henry S.

Resolved, That we hereby tender to all
voters in the county Of Cobb an earnest
appeal to come to the polls aud help US
elect man whom you will, Que and all,

1t looks very much as though we
were to have respectable navy. Much
work has been done, more is under
way, and still more Is proposed Last
year the Vesuvius, Yorktown, Charles
ton and Baltimore had satisfactory
tests. There are already 10 commits
sion of the new navy the cruisers At
Ianta, Boston, Charleston, Chicago
and Yorktown, and tho dispatch YES
sci Dolphin. The cruiser Baltimore
and tho gunboat petral are preparing for
commission; five cruisers, the Benn-
ington, Concord, Newark, Philadel.
phia, are nearly completed. Six cruis-
ers and two gunboats are contracted
for or under advertisement; and eight
new battle ships and FIVE torpedo boats
have been authorized.
We have made decided progress in
the construction of navy, and ii we
continue as rapidly progressing as we
have done of late we viii soon have
one worthy of thecountry, The Sec
rerary of the Navy, 1t will be remem.
bered, suggested in his message to
Congress the number and kind Of YES,
sells the country needs the most. The
Naval Board, to which, the matter
has been referred, has formulated plan
looking to the construction Of these
vessels IT recommends ninety.two
ships of various types aud sizes, the
work to be done in the next fourteen
years, and the cost, including mainten,
anCe, during that period to be $3.50,
100000, or $9O,OOO,OOO a year. This
cost, the board points out, will be less
than that of keeping up the Same mum
Der of oId.stylo vessels,
The ships proposed will give the
United States, in addition to the navy
it already possesses, 35 battle ships,
10 rams, 20 cruisers, and 10 torpedo
cruisers, The board recommends that
the work on some of these vessels be-
gin at once,
This is certainly big programme,
but it is one that should be carried
ont; and we are satisfied that public
opinion will approve and support the
expenditure of S2O,OOO,OOO year if
it will secure this country a navy that
will protect it against all dangers from
without The amount asked for is
small as compared with the property
at risk, and which could be destroyed
or seized by an enemy in the event of
a war, so defeuseless is the United
States ut present.
