Georgia County Elections.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 3.-The interest
in the county elections throughout
Georgia was slight and the returns are
coming in slowly Y. The result in the
State shows heavy Democratic gains
in all counties. Many counties which
were strongly Populistic in the last
two elections returned to the Demo
cratic fold. Gwynett, Barlow, Doug
las. Polk. Merriwether, Campbell a1d
Gordon have all come back into the
Democratic ranks. The following
counties, as we weexpected, elected Popu-
listic officers: Cherokee, Chattahoo-
chee. Early, Taliaferro. Taylor and
McDuifie. Tom Watson's home. Some
of the counties were 50 close that mix
ed tickets were elected. among which
were Harrison and Washington.
Emanuel elected a Democratic ticket
with the exception of sheriff. Elbert
is so close that the official count Will
have to decide the result, and then
there is probability of contest. The
negroes in many of the counties voted
solidlv with the Democrats. Out of
130 counties in the State, the total
number carried by Populists will
probably not exceed fifteen, giving
them the benefit of some of the doubt
full counties. remote from telegraph
stations, in which the result cannot
be ascertained until the official count
is made

News special from Blakely, Ga, says
The election today was the occasion
of a serious shooting atfray at Colquit,
Miller County. in which J. \. Bush
on one side and twoof the kambrell
boys on the other were the parties en-
gagged. The trouble grew out OF some
difference IN politics, Bush Champion
ing the straight Democratic ticket and
was prccipilated by Bush knocking old
man Kambrell down after heated al
tercation. whereupon Charlie and Bur
rel kambl'ell drew their pistols nd
began firing on Bush from opposite
directions at a distance of about ten
PAGES. Bush drew his revolver and
returned the fire, shooting at one of
his aSSailantS twice and then turning
and shooting twice at the other. when
he again faced about and fired the re,
manning chamber OF his revolver, and
rushed upon the one confronting him
and beat him severely over the head
with the revolver. Bush was nit in
three places, one ball passing through
the thigh, another goin" through the
palm OF the hand and the third enter

wounds are expected to prove fatal.
The kambrells escaped without serious
injury. The parties are brothers-in-
law and prominent in local affairs.

I-1iy Talk from the Pulpit.

P.aSA. Ills. Jan. 2.-Rev. Father
Stolk, who last summer gained noto-
riety by publicly yassailing Protestants,
said to his parishioners yesterday: I
have members who will not rent pews
because they are too poor, yet they
have money to get drunk twice a
month. l wisn they would get drunk
tonight and lay outdoors and freeze to
death. There aremcmbers of my con-
gregation who allow their daughters
to 90 to h@gh-toned balls and dance in
full dress dress atall Only inde-
cent Catholics. Protestants and here
tics 90 to such places" He said in
palmer words that he wished from the
bottom of his heart the girls who went
to these dances would be ruined, and
added: Il wish every boy or young
man who attends these dances would
become diseased and rot and then the
generation would soon be exterminat-

ATALEoF BLOOD AND CRIME.
At Loast Il, 900 Persons Were Indiscrimi-
nately Butehered.

Boston, Mass. Jan. Letters have
been received by well known parties
in this city from reliable sources in
Turkey giving still further testimony
regarding the outragesin Eastern Tur-
key. The following letters came from
city not a great distance from the
scene of the outrages. The writer is a
man in whom the highest confidence
may be placed, who has spent more
than third of century in that re-
gion and knows the country and peo-
Die perfectly. This testimony is from
source which is independent from
any which has been given before. La
ter accounts increase, if possible, what
has taken place. The letter just re-
ceived is as follows:
The Armenians. oppressed by hurds
and Turks. said they could not pay
taxes to both the Kurds and the gov
ernment. Plundered and oppressed by
the kurds they resisted them and there
were some killed. Then false reports
were sent to Constantinople that the
Armenians were in arms. in rebellion.
and orders were sent TO the Mushir at
Ezeroum to exterminate them. root
and branch. The order read before

chief cities of eastern Turkey, was
"Whoever spares man, woman or
child is disloyal"
The region was surrounded by sol
diers of the army and 1000 Kurds also
are said to have been massed there.
Then they advanced upon the inhaol-
tants, driving the people like tiocks Of
sheep, and continued thus to advance
for days. No quarter was given: no
mere shown. Men. women and
children were shot down and butch
cred like sheep. Probably when hey
were set upon in this way some tried
to save their lives and resisted in self:
defense. while those who could fled IN
all directions, but the majority were
slain. The most probable estimate is
Il, 900 killed; thirty-ive villages plum
dered, razed and burned. Women
were outraged and then butchered. \
priest was taken to the roof Of his
church, hacked to pieces and set on
fire. A large number Of women and
girls were collected IL a church, kept
for DAYS, violated by the brutal sol
diers. and then murdered. 1t is said
that the number was SO large that the
blood flowed out of the church door.
The soldiers contendea over & beauti-
ful girl. They wanted to preserve her
but She too was killed. Every effort
is being made and will be made to fal-
sify facts and pull the wool over the
eyes of the Europeon governments.
But the bloody tale will be known the
most horrible, it seems to me, that the
Nineteenth century has known. As q
consummation of the report of the out
RACES, as several hundred soldiers were
returning from the war, and in a VII

he alone with his own hand had kill

have some shame for their atroclous
deeds, say, What could we do, we

Note:-It is worth notice that the
editor of the Advocate in his anxiety
to break the force of the discrimina-
ton against laymen in the matter of
representation on the floor of the An
nual Conference pointed out by me,
hold that the General Conference is
the only law making body: that the
Annual Conference was almost entire
lv an executive body, dealing with
| matters Of routine-and hence (he
| areued) there was no need of larger
| lay representation. In this also he
followed Bishop McTyeire. Yet when
Bro. Herbert made precisely this ar
| rument few weeks ago. in reply to
! the editors crusade against the Holi-
ness Association, the editor holds up
hands in holy horror at such heresE.
The merest tvro in Methodist polity
knows that in large number of mat
ters that intimately concern laymen.
the Annual Conference has absolute
power. The election of editors for
| church papers, apportioning the Blsh
| ops funds, Conference funds etc, are
all matters that intimately concern
the lay membership who have these
funds to pay; and yet $4,000 of them
in this State are allowed only 10 rep
resentatives upon the floor of the
Annual Conference. which deals with
these matters. Although salaries
have been steadily pushed upward,
while the ability of the membership
to pay has steadil Y tended downward.
expenses of delegates to the General
Conference have in recent years been
levied through the Annual Confer
encs upon the membership; and a
host of agents for colleges and other
enterprises have been commissioned
by Annual Conferences to go out over
the country at large cost to the mem
bership. Yet these gentlemen tell US
that there is no need of lay represen-
tation in the Annual Conference.
Does anyone suppose that these addi-
tional burdens could have been laid
upon an already over-burdened peo-
pie, if layman had been accorded rep
resentation in the councils of the
church in proportion to numbers and
influence!
So far from the General Conference
being the only law making body in
our church, is it not perfectly plain
that in all matters affecting the fun
