anxiously awaited by the people here and
in Coffee county.
The story of the outrage is told by
Mrs. Joe Taylor, a white woman. who
lives not far from Stokess SUI. Sne sald
that Yesterday morning a pretty white girl
ran from the woods into her house and
fell Cd the floor on account of fright and
exhaustion The girl was poorly clad, but
showed by her looks that she was OF
highly respectable family.
Without disclosing her name or home
she began to tell her story. She prayed
that somebody would come to kill the ne

that the girl and her sister are both III

The Old Church Bell.

It's rustin' in the steepe, for it's been a
many a year
Since we heard it on the evening breezes
swell;
Since across the vale and mountain 1t has
summoned them to prayer
The old-the old church bell!
The dusk owl boots around it; but 1t has no
tale to tell;
1t Is silent in the steepe-he old church
bell,
Did it cease its pleasant Ginning when the
pastor, bent ana gray,
Was laid within the old churchyard to rest?
When they draped the church In mourning
on that desoated day,
When his faithful hands were folded Ger his
breast?
Not much! it has story which is different
to tell

Waycross, Ga, September 4.-(Special.)
Thomas f.. Watson spoke here today to
1000 people, composed of about 100 dem

He was interrupted once while appea,i,a1

They argued for about ten minutes. The
populists received the speech enthusiastic
ca1ly, but it did not effect the minds of the

'socit-ion at ,Jnsper.


Jasper. Ga, September 3.-(Special. y
The Jasper Baptist Association which has
just been III session here condemned Sun
dav schools. The association convened with
Philadelphia church near here. The sub
ject came up on an inquiry from Sarlis
church. in Cherokee county, which asked
if there is any scripture authorizing Sun-
day schools.
After debating the question for some
time the association decided that there is
no scripture for Sunday schools and con-
demned them.
DR.. w. NJ. Jones, who has been the mode
rator for several years, and who is the
present representative in the legislature
from this county. preached on Sunday. He
condemned Sunday schools. saying it is
wrong to have them. ana he said he had
rather have dance at his house than to
go to a Sunday school picnic. He said
a great many things that sounded strange
in the mouth of minister
DIR. Jones was followed by !. r. Allen.
of Talking Rock. who preached on the same
line. 1T is needless to say that the peo-
pie here do not endorse the views expressed.

A oOl,s OI ships.

A SONG 81 ships.
The sky made a whip O. the winds, and
dashed the into foam,
And the keen-blowing gales tore the flags and
the sails of the ships that were piunglns
home;
OF the ships that we're tossing home on the
black and billowy deep
But who shall reach to the WrecKs-tne
wrecks, where the ships and their cap
tains sleep?
o, wrecks, by the black seas tossed,
In the desolate ocean nights!
Lost-lost-in the darkness! lost
In sight O. the harbor lights!
The sky made veil O the Clouds ana a
scourge O the lightning red,
And the blasts bowed the masts OF the SHIPS
that Jared where love and the sea-gulls
led;
OF the ships that were faring home with love
for the waiting breast
But where is the love that can reach to.the
wrecks, where the ships and their cap
tains rest?
q. sbips of our love, wavetossed
In the fathonless ocean nights!
Lost-lost-in. the blackness! lost
In sight o. the harbor lights!
There was once ship Of my soul that tossed
DER a stormy sea,
gloomed drear: Send my SOULS ship
safe to me! go,
Send my souls ship safely home, from pillows
and blackened skies!
But where is the soul that can reach 10 the
depths-the depths where my souls ship
lies?
o, ship Of my soul, storm-tossed,
Tn the far and the fearful nights
Iost-lost-in. the blackness! lost
In sight O. the harbor lights!

Calhoun, Ga, September S.-(Special. y
One solitary moonshine still stuck away
among the bills and operated by an old
Gecrepd man has involved Il whole commu-
nifty in trouble.
About month ago revenue officers cap
tured and destroyed small still four
miles east of Calhoun. The still was in
charge of an Old man named Veal, q vee-
ran moonshner from Lumpkin county.
Veal ana his son We're arrested and carried
to Atlanta and lodged in the moonshne
stockade
This did not please old man Veal. who felt
that the community in which he worked
at his trade had betrayed him and he at
once set about securing the names of all
who ever bought liquor from him. He was
released from prison and went to Dalton,
where he now is and where he gives to the
commissioner every day n now batch of
names. Warrants are made out and sent
here to Deputy Marshal Bud Turner. One
by one every person who has ever removed
even Il half pint of Fears moonshine from
his still is gathered in. Forty arrests have
resulted SO far and still they 60 on. One
half Of the community is on the bonds of
the other half. Every morning for almost
two weeks party of prisoners, bondsmen
and marshals has boarded the train here
for Dalton where all of the preliminary
trials are held before commissioner Ham
ilton.
The feeling towards old man Veal is not

are heard against him on every hand but he
is at a safe distance and promises to re-
