Augusta. Ga, Oct. 4-The suggestion of
Henry c. Hammond president of the
Young Mems Democratic Club of Rich
mond county, to succeed Representative
Barnes in the legislature meets with unan-
lmous approval, and it is probable he win

cordance with the governors writ of cleo
ton, issued yesterday. Ordinary Walton

p, and the democratic executive commit
zee is called TO meet tomorrow to ar
range Tor mass meeting to nominate a

other name will be brought before the
mass meeting except Mr.. Hammond's, and
thal the democracy of Richmond will thus

IN the Black campaign.
An inquest held, this morning by Coro-
her May brought out the facts of a
strange case. At 3 O'clock this morning
a colored man named j. G. Pendergrast
died at his home, 1924 Marbury street. He
was about 40 years old and had no other
occupation than that of preacher. He
preached "sanctificaton, and that faith
wound accomplish all things. 1t was to
TINS latter belief that his death was prop
ably due. He had chronic
kidney trouble and recently got
proken-bone fever. Pendergrast told his
friends that he would have no doctor,
put would be cured by faith. The cor

because of failure to take remedies, as
the epidemic of this fever which now

gate and determine the disputed right of
way of the Western and Atlantic railroad

involving the strip of land occupied by
the Central railroad to reach the Union
depot in this city. The finding sustains the
claim OF the state to this land which
is estimated to be worth anywhere from
10000 to 100000. The property lies be
tween Forsyth and Whitehall streets, and
came into possession of the Central with
the Macon and Western road. The COM
missioners, however. said that the Macon
and Western had no title to the land oc-

A STORY OF THE PINE.
south Georgia sdII Rich in Forests
of the Wood.

Waycross, Ca oct. 1.-The yellow
pine, which is a mine of wealth to South
Georgia, can be utilized in more ways
than any other tree in the world. Its
products are tar, pitch, rosin and tur-
pentine; and the body of the tree can be
used for fuel, or manufactured into lum-
Der, shingles, crosstes and fence rails.
South Georgia is noted for its rich for
ests of yellow pine, and for fifty years
the ak has been used vigorously against
the supply of timber. Operators have
swarmed in the forests, armed with axes,
mauls and wedges; fires have ragged,
aided by. rosin and turpentine; but the
forests, like. a stone wall, have not
yielded to the battering rams of i'm
proved manufacture or advanced civili-
zation. Science has failed to account for
the inexhaustible supply of yellow pine,
nor has 1t discovered why the various
implements of manufacture have failed
to destroy the bulk of the timber. Mys-
terious and unbelievable, the pine signs
because II has not more to give to hu.
manity; and ages and generations pass,
having received Of its bounty. and yet
the pine remains-a king of mysteries and
a blessing to humanity.

The contest between two factions OF
parishioners over the control of the prop
erty of st. Marks Church, at Third and
A streets northeast, Will come up before
Chief Justice Bingham next Monday.
The answer to the suit brought by the
Torbert faction for possession of the church
and the revenues was filed yesterday by
the Earnshaw party. 1t is claimed that the
plaintiffs have no legal title to be called
vestrymen or Wardcns. and that Mr..
Torbert's records as registrar, upon which
the prosecution relies, are inaccurate and
unreliable, because Mr. Torbert did not
take a correct view of his duties.
Mr. Torbert was registrar, it is ad-
mitted during the year prior to last Easter
Monday, but did not strictly follow the
rules in enrolling the seveaty-one members
whom ne enumerates as legal voters. 1t
follows that insignificant and technical
irregularities in the enrolment of other
members can not be used to excI2de them
from their rights as voters
TITS ESSENTIALLY FREE
AS to the claim that pew renters and
contributors are qualified voters, it is
pointed out that st. Marks is essentially
a free church."
The assertion that twenty -one voters
were illegally dumped into the meeting
which elected the YestTy uow in control
is vigorously combatted.
Tie quarrel over the Parkmaa Mission
and the lay reader is discussed at great
length, and the Torbert party, then IN
control OF the church, is condemned for
lack OF kiudlineSs in treatment Of theiC
fellow churchmembers in the complications
which then arose This was the true
source of the reaction, which partly changed
the control of church affairs at the yestry
election IN 1891
The men defeated at that time came up,
the answer says, over confident in 1885
to punish their opponents at the eIec
tion year before and We're gain defeated
As result they have preCipita ted d
hurtful controversy and IL has been brought
great detrment of church work and growth
DECISION SET FORTH
The history OF the election last Easter
Monday is given, the decision of the diO
cesar convention is set forth with the fact
that it was absolutely necessary to take
the funds out OF Treasurer MaFIow's hands,
as well as to expel yestrymen who refused
TO act with the ma jority.
The placing new bolts in the doors OF the
church is explained as merely precautiOn
against persons not in authority gaining
actual possession of the church No per
son has been deprived OF his legal right
to enter and use the building.
Mr.. j. Walter CoOksey, who flied the
answer, said he was ready to go on with
the hearing of the case at once as it had
been arranged but Attorney ". 4. MelOy,
for the prosecution, said he had not ex-
amined the answer, and was granted
continuance to July s.
