CHURCH OF THE DISCIPLES.
An Earnest Plea for the Evangelization
Of the Negro.

Richmond, Va, Oct 23.-At the ses-
sion to-day of the General Christian Mis-
sionary convention Of the National Con-
vention of Disciples Rev. C. C. Smith of
Massilon, o., made an earnest plea for
the evangelization of the negro.
Referring to the treatment of the negro
in the south he said: THE south needs
no defense But it is only matter
of justice, since so much has been said
and written to call attention to and mag
Nifty her sins, that mention at least
should be made of her virtues. Sup
pose some prophet had risen out of the
flame and smoke of Appomatox and de-
clared: These men who have to-day
been forced by the arbitrament of war
to free their slaves will in
the next thirty years spend SEQ, 600 600 for
their education, would he not have been
a prophet without honor, especially in
his own country? And yet, not only is
this true, but in the school year of 1884
over $10,00O,000 has been expended by the
southern states, exclusive of benefactions
on the common schools; being Sc per capita
of all who attended school In addition,
various southern states, entirely in the
control OF the white people, voted $13S $50
for the higher education of the negro"
a collection was made and $1,000 raised
for the work.
The committee on officers for next year
reported the officers who were elected.
Dallas, Tex, was selected as the meet
ing place of the next convention.
At the close of the reading of the re-
port, DR.. Tyler Of New York presented
DR.. W. f. Hatcher of Richmond. who.
with Drs. Eager of Alabama, Kerfoot Of
Kentucky, Carroll of Texas, and T. b.
Hawthorne of Georgia, We're appointed "A
committee at the late Southern Baptist
convention at Dallas Tex, to take into
consideration the question of Christian
union, and this committee was requested
to suggest to the next annual convention
of the disciples a committee of conference

WANT THE SALOONS CLOSED.
Prominent Citizens of Macon Object to
Councils Recent Action.

Councils Recent Action.
Macon, Ga. Oct. 23.-The church people
of Macon are assuming a very aggressive
attitude on the recent action of council
in suspending during the fair the ordi-
nance requiring the barrooms to close
after u O'Clock at night, and it would ap-
pear from what developed here tonight,
that they intend to insist upon a recon
sideration of last Tuesday nights action,
when the ordinance was suspended.
At the regular meeting of council last
night petition signed by 36O of the most
influential church people and prominent
citizens generally, was presented by a
committee of twenty-five, praying that
council reconsider and not allow the bar
rooms to keep open all night during the
fair, but there was not a quorum OF the
members present and therefore the pc
tition could not be acted upon. Nearly
fifty leading church people and temper
ance workers were present and occupied
seats in the council chamber. They repre-
sented every protestant denomination in
the city and leading professional and
commercial men of Macon were to be
found among the number.
After waiting for the tardy members
for quite a while, Mayor Horne called a
meeting of the board for u o'clock to-
morrow, when it is expected that a quo
rum Of the councilmen will be present.
To say that the church people of Macon
are worked up over councils action in
this matter puts it mildly. The sentiment
against their action has been materially
heightened by the scorching sermons
preached by DR.. Alonzo Monk of the Null
berry Street Methodist Church on last sun
day, in which he hits hard and without
fear or favor.
The warrants against Justice George
Holmes and Detective ]. w Ford sworn
out a day or two ago by young Beckham,
charging them with false Imprisonment,
were dismissed in Justice Gerden's court
late this evening. The trial occupied two
days, and was the sensation of the day
among the lawyers and the court men.
Justice Holmes stands high in the commu-
nifty, and it was never believed by his
friends that he was guilty of the charges
preferred against him.
