JUDGE HARDEN's BOOK.
An English olergyman's View.

Having, on Sunday last, published a
three and half column article condemn
atory, as unwholesome, of Judge Harden's
"An Inquiry Into the Truth of Dogmatic
Christianity" it is but fair to present the
following briefly expressed views contra.
A very large number of our citizens will

TILLmAN IN CONFERENCE.
Candidates to Be Selected by Pri-
maries Instead of a Convention.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Gov. Tillman. Of
South Carolina, arrived in the city yes
terday for the purpose of transacting
some business in connection with the
dispensary law of his state. Incidental
TO that business there was held
IN the committee room of Senator
lrby at the capitol this after
boon conference attended BY
Gov. Tillman, Senator Irby, Representa-.
tives Straight, Tolbert, Latimer and Nc
Iaurin and Col. Neal, .superintendeut of
the state penitentiary. This conference
was for the purpose of considering what
was the best policy for the democrats to
pursue in the coming election in South
Carolina, and resulted, Gov. Tillman said
IN practically unanimous agreement.
Senator Troy is chairman of the
state democratic committee and Gov.
Tillman is the leader of what is
known as the reform democrats, and
the representatives present represent
districts that were carried by the same
wing Of the party.
PRIMARIES INSTEAD or A CONVENTION.
There are two factions in the state ad.
vocating different policies, the one favor
ing convention in the spring for the
purpose of nominating candidates to go
before the primaries, and the other favor
as q ,AtCS- Aoi OIL LdCt al primaries
to be held during the month Of
August. The members of the caucus
agreed that it would be better not to hold
a convention for the reason that it would
look as if the attempt was being made to
torestal the people in their choice, and
the primary form of selecting candidates
will be recommended. 1t is under
stood that this result was
not reached without heated
discussion, and ii was said
that Representative McLaurin, because
of an allusion to one of his friends, who
belonged to the third party, withdrew
from the conference before any conclu-
sion was reached; not, however, until he
had replied to the statement made by Mr.
Irby, who is credited with having made
the speech at which Mr.. McLaurin took

sHAD COMING IN NOW.
The Season Just Opening Facts
About the Fish.

About the Fish.
Savannah river shad are now coming
into the market. The shad season is very
late this year. Usually the Florida shad
begin coming into market in December
and the Georgia shad about Jan. /. Very
few Florida shad were received this sea-
son and the Georgia shad have only just
begun to come in.
The Florida shad are not so large as the
Georgia shad nor of as fine favor, and are
commonly known as hickory shad. The
Savannah river shad are said by epicures
to be the finest in the world. 1t is the
largest fish entering the rivers in this
section in any quantity. The ordinary
fish run from four to six pounds, with oc-
casional specimens reaching seven and
eight pounds. A large sized shad is a
very handsome fish.
The shad is an inhabitant of the sea,
but ascends the rivers along the coast in
spring to spawn. They will not take a
hook. much to the regret of sportsmen,
but are easily caught in nets stretched
across the streams
The shad is considered by many the
finest fish that comes to this market.
The season is very short, beginning as it
does in January and ending in March. The
laws are very stringent with regard to
catching them, the state law specifying
that they shall be caught only from
Monday morning to Friday night, thus
allowing the fish forty-eight hours each
week in which to escape the nets set to
intercept them. This enables sufficient
number of the fish to proceed to their
spawning beds and lay the foundation for
the next years supply.
The shad roe or eggs which are OBJ
tanned from the female fish are considered
quite delicacy. Savannah is well sup
piled with shad from the Savannah and
Ogeechee rivers. The supply is not only
sufficient for the local market but large
quantities are shipped out by the dealers
to supply the country for several hundred
miles around. The shad ascend the Sa-
vannah river as high up as Augusta and
the business of catching them is quite an
industry at this season.

FLoR1DA's ORANGE GROWERS.

astic meeting of orange growers to-day

lett was secretary.
The object of the meeting was to take
some steps to protect the orange interests
in Florida. Unless this is done these men
contend that the $40, ZOO, 900 invested in this
industry by over 5000 growers, and the
10000 laborers employed by it, must look
elsewhere. They also claim that the or
ange and lemon interests Of Florida can
not continue to exist in competition with
foreign fruit that costs 81 to bring to New
York, where Florida's costs $3.50. In
viewrofIthis startling and serious question
this meeting to-day, called a meeting of
the orange growers of Florida in Ocala,
FEB. 6, and requested that Dudley Ad
ans, of Orange county, address the meet
ing on this vital subject to Florida fruit
growers.
Judge Bullock and r. L. Anderson will
draw up an address tonight for the
press of the state to publish.
The committee TO prepare matter for
discussion and action at the February
meeting are Gen. Bullock, Judge Bullock,
Maj. Rocks, Mr.. Buffum, and Mr.. Gillett.
Every orange grower who has heard the
views of the meeting is earnest for action.
Circulars stating the orange case are to
be sent to every grower in the state ask
ing his presence at the meeting. They
will also be sent to every sbate,for publ
cation. 4 2 a. o. RIA 1-7

ViSement.
The grand jury of the city court met

battery for beating Francis Reed Jan. Is,
while Reed was under arrest.
Owen Maddox, assault and battery, for
beating n. g. Reed. Jan. 16.

ID. S. Bages, w. S. Winn and Joe Miller,

NEW JERSEYS TWO sENArEs.
The Republicans Decline to Abide by
an Agreement.

Trenton, n. j., Jan. 23,7Gov. Werts. it
is reported, has asked Attorney General
Stockton to file an information before
Chief Justice Beasley as basis for quo
warranto proceedings in the supreme
court, to settle the senatorial dispute, and
the chief justice has been requested to
call an extraordinary session of the court
to settle the question. IL was understood
that this move was made by the demo-
Gratis, that the republican senators would
agree to the programe and abide blythe de-
cision of the supreme court but late this
afternoon they announced that they had
not agreed to the proposition and that
all of them would not do so. On
the other hand, they intend to pass GER
tain bills of a reform nature, let the gov
ernor do as he sees fit about considering
them and adjourn, keeping the session
alive, however, until the next election.
The supreme court, they hold, has no au-
thority in the matter, anyhow. To agree
with the programme in question would be
to abandon their position. They will OPP
pose the service of papers on them and
obstruct the proceedings in every way
possible. If the democrats want to test
the constitutionality of the republican
Senate, better way, the latter hold,
would be to carry up any of the bills they
intend TO pass and get decision on that.

The PASTORS study of the Christian
church, on Bolton street, was robbed a
day or two ago by some enterprising
thief, of a couple of dictionaries aud the
pulpit Bible. Both Of the dictionaries
were recovered, one of them in a book
store, where it, had been sold and the
other in a pawn shop. The purpose of
the thieves seemed to have been to get to
the church communion silver, which was
locked up.

THE STATE TICKET,

The republicans OF Idaho, in conven-
tion assembled, have placed in nomin-
alton q state ticket. The ticket is
headed by Gov. Mcconnell v no received
n denomination by exclamation. The
balance OF the ticket is made up as fol-
lovs: For Congressman, Edgar Wilson
supreme justice, J. W. Huston Eeuten-
ant governor. F. J. Mills; attorney gen
eral, Geo. NJ. Parsons: auditor, Frank
Ramsey; treasurer, {. Bunting; secre-
OF state, 7. W. Garrett; superintendent,
OF schools, c. \. Foresman.
The ticket is looked upon as one that
will sweep the state.

dates viii take their chances before the

IT seems that during the absence OF
troops from the post the Spokane Chron-
icle published an article relative 70 n
mutiny among men Of the Fourth Infan-
try at Hope, Idaho, over an order com
polling them to coal up an engine. Such
reflection upon the discipline OF the
Fourth Infantry is an injustice alike to
the regiment and to the men. The pa.
per OF the date upon which it was pub
]ished not having been received at Hope
while the troops were there, it is only
since their return that inquiries a. to
who the men were that mutinied
brought it to the attention OF those who
were absent. There was not the least
grounds for such a statement. a. the
men were not requested to perform such
work during the time OF their stav at
Hope. Even had they been ordered to
do 80, there would have been no danger
