Col. W. R. Power our efficient county
school commissioner, by invitation, met
with the joint committee OF the Senate on
public schools and education. in Atlanta
on last Monday night and gave his views
in opposition to State uniformity of school
books. Col. Power has given this matter a
good deal of thought and investigation and
his idea is county uniformity will prove
the most satisfactory.
The annual meeting of the Cobb County
Bible Society will be held OF the Methodist
church next Sunday night, and will be adj
dressed by Rev. Geo. T. Goetchius, of
Rome, and also by Rev. 81. P. Myers, Dis
tr;ct Superintendent of the American Bi.
Bile Society for Georgia. This is a work
in which not only Christian people but all
good citizens should be deeply interested.
Whatever mems individual views about
the Bible may be, there is no question
about its important bearing on morals,
progress and civilization. The object of
the Bible Society is the circulation of the
scriptures, without note or comment"
among all classes of men. 1t is the one
work in which all denominations can
unite, the agency by which these classes in
our own country which are inaccessible to
the influence of the organized churches are
most effectually reached, and it is the
source from which the American churches
draw, free of cost, the Bible for their for
eign work. Thousands of families in Geor>
gia have been supplied by its colporteurs.
1t is the oroadest, fartherest reaching and
most important work to which the atten-
ton of our people could be turned. We
trust that the representative of this great
interest, who is soon to be among us, will
have the ear of our people as he tells US of
the work that has been done in Georgia,
and elsewhere by this great institution and
of its plans for the future.

A DOUBLE SURPRISE.
A Minister Gained and Afterwards
Banquetted.

The prayer meeting at the Methodist
Church last Wednesday night week was
full OF interest in several respects. In the
first place it was led by laymen, w. E. Gil
BEST who gave the large crowd present a
very interesting talk, that was full of good
sense and scriptual truths In the next
place, pleasant little episode was sand.
wlched between talks and songs, by the
presentation of gold>headed cane to the
pastor, Rev. Joel T. Dawes, from the mems
bers OF his church as birthday present. it
being his 58th anniversary. Col. Moultrie
M. Sessions in neat and appropriate
speech presented the cane, which took Mr..
Dawes by surprise, as he had no inkling of
the matter before hand Miss Lizzie Grist
was the prime mover in this pleasant re.
membrance of the pastor. Mr.. Dawes re-
sponded very feelingly and beautifully, in
which he expressed his deep appreciation
OF the testimonial for the spirit of love that
prompted it and not for its intrinsic value.
When Mr.. Dawes left the prayer meeting

dist Christian Endeavor Society, accompa~
MED by some older members. They had

good wishes upon his reaching the 58th

served in a most hospitable manner. All
this was another surprise to Mr.. Dawes.

ness as evidenced by the smiles on his
face. The young people crowded every
room and crowded his heart full of love.
his good wife remained home from PRAYER
meeting that night having been let into
the secret by Mr.. Walter Sessions and
this was why and how the parsonage

INGALLS,. SPEAKS.
THE STATESMAN OUT OF A JOB.

Ex-senator John ]. Ingalls,, of
Kansas, delivered remarkable ad-
dress at the Piedmont Chautauqua,
on last Thursday night. 1t was bold
and courageous. He said that the
entire people north and south were
responsible for African slavery. He
said his grandfather was slave
holder in Massachusetts, and he had
seen the bill of sale for them. He
also said he heard Abraham Lincoln
make speech at Atchison, Kansas,
ON the I'd of December, 1859, in
which he was opposed to the eman-
cipation of the slaves. 1t was on
the very day that John Brown was
hanged in Virginia, and MIR. Lincoln
said he ought to have been hanged.
He said that the enfranchisment of
the negro, the giving him the ballot,
was a mistake mistake for the
colored man for the ballot has Meth.
er been shield nor sword TO him.
1t was mistake for the south. The
great danger to our form of our gov
eminent is the corruption and adul-
te-ation Of the ballot north and
south. This is the menace to-day.
He lauded Generals Johnston and
Sherman alike.
He ridiculed the sub-treasury al
lance idea. He said: eve are
taught now that the race is not to
the swift nor the battle to the
strong; that mems debts are to be
paid by act of Congress that those
who have tailed shall take charge of
those who have succeeded; and that
the same price shall be paid for
cuckle-burs rs for seed corn. There
is to be no field for ambition and
industry. They are to issue certiG-
Gates of deposit for cotton and corn.
Why not on SER krout and dried
apples? We nave been told that
class legislation is vicious. What
is more vicious than that ?" He
