ECCLESIASTICAL CONTEST
Powerful Creed Defenders Backed r.,

by shouting Sisters of the Faith.
For the last week the Rev. MIR. Bvra
of the Christian church and the Row
Mr.. Blalock of the Missionary Bantis,
denomination have been engaged IN -.
lively debate at Spring place, says the
Atlanta Constitution. Every day thew
meet in the courthouse, and in tho
presence of large audiences they dis.
cuss the merits and dement's, tho
claims and the credits, of the two pro.
LESSONS of religious belief. The do.
bate attracted large crowds and one
day Byrd would hurl his Recommendations
against the opposition and on the next
day Blalock would launch invectives
at the faith of his brother preacher
Toward the last the battle became 50
obstinate that some exceedingly yigor.
Gus language was used
On Saturday matters reached a eli.

| women of the two fiocks gave way and
| they prepared for a shouting match
| The Baptist sisters went prepared to
indulge in a fervent demonstration and
had their plans all laid for O. regular
jubilee of prayer and praise. Some
body gave the plan away and the Chris
tian church women marsha,ed their
vocal legions in battle array. Numer.
| cally they were the weaker, but by
enthusiasm and lung power they made
up for the disparity in numbers.
Finally, just at the close of Blalocks
| talk, at signal given, the leader of
the Baptists opened up and the other
sisters joined in. The leader of the
Christian church cohorts took the cue
and began on her side of the house
and then occurred q scene such as
those who were present never witnessed
before. Finally the Christian church
people triumphed and carried the day
over their competitors in vocal powers.
The concluding sermon was delivered
and at the close it was declared a
drawn battle, and Blalocls returned to
Tennessee and Byrd returned to Dali
ton each claiming that he had van.
quished his opponent.
Feeling still runs very high among
the Murray county folks and opinion
is very much divided as TO which one
of the preachers got the best of the dis.
cussion.

the strong room. This is a compart-
ment located amidshps, surrounded on
all four sides by impenetrable steels
walls. The dimensions of the vault
for such it in fact is-are about 12xl2
feet, and in it are number of iron
safes OF the burglar proof variety, and
in these the valuable kegs are stored.
Although the freight charge on each
million of gold is 81 ,250-more than ten
first-class fares for the passage--no ex-
ira precautions are taken to guard the
treasure while on the sea. This is pri-
narily due to the fact that it would be
impossible for anyone to get away with
any part of the shipment, as the Of
fcers of the boat periodically inspect
the steel &c ON to see that it's contents
are intact. Consequently, should any
daring crook or featherbrained crank
attempt such thing, the loss would
Immediately be discovered, and search
of the passengers would necessarily re-
veal it's possession unless it had been
consigned to the waves. But 1t is not
on record that any such attempt has

| Upon the arrival of the steamer in
port, if the consignment be for an in
land city, it is Immediately transferred
to land under heavy guard, and placed
! aboard the train. Armed men to the
number of half dozen guard the kegs
until their arrival at the city Of their
destination, and the transportation
company furnishes another guard to
accompany them to the consignee.
An insurance against loss may be had
of nearly all of the insurance brokers'
There are three classes of insurance
total loss, partial loss and general av-
crage loss The total and partial loss
requires no explanation, but the third
is not SO we'll understood.
Should the ship break down at sea
and require assistance to reach port

is an unusually large sum. For this

The sub-trcasury will redeem govern
ment obligations in gold, but as to the
denomination of the specie there Is no
specific agreement in the contract or
the notes. Therefore the gold is hand
ed out as best suits the treasury OF
ficials. The gold Is, therefore, more
conveniently furnished In the shape OF
solid gold bars, but sometimes 1t is act
ually in coin.
Honest" John Barclay, who sue
ceeded to his fathers title and calling
hauls nearly all of the gold delivered
from the sub-treasury. His father was
the trusted truckman for years OF the
Wall street financiers, and when he died
he left to his son a legacy OF confidence
which the Junior Barclay has retained.

carts the yellow metal in bars or in
sacks containing $1,000 each to the Of

Once in the Office it is packed ready

When a banker has such debts, which
may be his own or his customers, the
first thing he does is to draw check
for the amount upon his bank in &c

is well understood that these notes are

at the treasury in Washington or at
any of the sub-trea3uries.
1t would be a matter CT great incon-
