For the first time Godwin's Chapel
Epworth League has been called upon
to pay the last tribute of respect to one
of its most worthy members.
On the afternoon of Sept 10, at his
fathers home near Columbia, Obey
Stone fell asleep in the arms of Jesus to
be awakened by angelic voices on the
other side of the river.
He joined the M. E. Church South
about one year ago, and from the day
of his conversion was valiant soldier
in his Masters cause, and during a gra-
cious revival in his church this sum-
mer was instrumental in leading more
souls to Christ than any other one per-
son.
He was noble young man of twenty
four summers and none knew him but
admired his honesty of purpose and in
tegrity of character Be it therefore
ReSOlUed, That in the death of Obey
Stone our League has lost one of its
most earnest workers, whose willing
ness to perform any duty led us to be
more jealous in our work.
Resolved, That Goodwin Chapel has
sustained loss of one of its brightest
and most useful members; that our
community has suffered an irreparable
loss and his grief stricken father and
mother a devoted son and his broth
els and sisters allowing, tender-hearted
brother.
ResOIUed, Further, that we tender to
his loved ones our heartfelt sympathy
and coincidence; that these resolutions
be published in the Columbia HERALD
and spread upon the League minutes,
and that a copy be furnished the family
of the deceased brother.

Buggy Mhin and Pistol.

The HERALD several weeks ago
reported the shooting of Mr.. Sims
Latta in the back by Matt Arm
strong, with small shot, the wounds
not amounting to much. The par
ties met in the public road on the
Hampshire pike last Monday, when
the difficulty was renewed, this time
by Mr.. Latta. Mr.. Latta used his
buggy whip vigorously upon Mr..
Armstrong. One report says that
Armstrong drew his pistol, and that
Latta took it away from him and
kept whipping him. Another report
says that he started as if to draw it,
but did not. Nobody seems dis
posed to talk about the matter, and
the facts are hard TO get at. The
HERALD hopes the matter will be
allowed to stop where it is, and
would regret to see anything more
serious grow ont of it.

GOD GIVE US MEN.

The following strong and beautiful
lines were written by Oliver Wen
dell Holmes. The HERALD has a
notion of keeping them standing at
the head of its columns until after
the next election; and we suggest to
the voters that they memorize them
and think of them when they go to
the polls:
"God give us menl A time like this de-
mands
Great hearts, strong minds, true faith and
willing hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill ;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and will;
Men who have honor, men who will not lie;
For while the rabble, with their thumb
worn creeds,
Their large professions and their little
deeds
Wrangle in selfish strife-lol Freedom
weeps,
Wrong rules the land and waiting justice
sleeps"

EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION.
A Big Day for the COlored People of
Maury County.

A Big Day for the Colored People of
Maury County.
On the 22ud of September, 1861,
after the war between the Federal
and Confederate States of America
had gained full Roadway, President
Lincoln issued his celebrated Eman-
cipation Proclamation, which re-
moved the shackles of bondage from
the colored slaves of America and
gave them all their liberty.
This is the day which was appro-
priately observed by the negroes OF
Maury County in Columbia on Tues
day of last week. At 10:30 o'clock
nearly 5000 negroes gathered at Mt.
Lebanon church, where q procession,
consisting of floats, bands, car
riages, persons on foot and horse
back, fully mile long, was formed
and marched to the fair grounds.
There they had speeches, music,
and a general good time. -,
They met again at GhOlston's hall
that night, where good program
was carried out, and the following
resolutions adopted;
WHEREAS, in view Of the most excel
lent manifestation on the part OF
the public, and the very grand

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
Addresses Fair Sized Audience in tn
Opera House.


Opera House.
The Hon. G. N. Tillman, the Re-
publican candidate for Governor
spoke in the Opera House last Mon
day. Despite the rainy day, there
was fair size crowd to hear him.
The gallery was pretty we'll filled
with negroes and the lower portion
was about two thirds full of white
people, the majority of whom were
Democrats. Mr.. Tillman is nothing
of an orator. He is a plain, blunt
speaker with a rather tiresome de-
livery. He shows himself a tyro on
the stump, and would be an easy
victim of "Our Bob" in joint debate.
He is not a mud-slinger. He does
not deal in vituperation and abuse.
He is quiet, mild-mannered and not
at all extravaganza in his language,
and he appeals to the records to
bear out his criticisms. He said the
morning dailies charged him with
attacking the private character of
Gov. Taylor, but he denied this and
said that he would appeal to the
records to bear out every criticism
he might make. He criticized Gov.
Taylor for the enormous increase of
expenses during his second admins
tration, and for calling two extra
sessions of the Legislature. He was
opposed to our present criminal cost
system, and censured Taylor for
pardoning so many convicts which
it had cost the State so much to
send to prison.
He favored reform in our fee sys-
tenn, and wanted a law that would
require quarterly or semi-annual re-
ports from every officer in the State
and counties thereof, showing the
amounts that had come into their
hands. He censured the loose man.
ner in which the affairs of the State
had been administered, and charged
it up to incompetency rather than to
corruption. He thought the enor-
nous fees which coal oil inspectors
received was outrageous, and a
menace to the purity of politics, and
thought that all fees of all officers
over and above just compensation
for work done should go into the
Golfers of the State and lessen the
burdens of the people. He criticized
the back-taX law, and censured Tay-
lor for accepting the Office of back
tax attorney, when the office had
been created during his administra.
ton. He did not forget to mention
the small matter of Gov. Taylor and
a great many other high officials
drawing their salaries little in ad.
vance, and he censured Taylor fol
having recommended to the Legis.
lature of 1887 a consideration of the
claims made by the depositors of the
Bank of Tennessee.
He reviewed the new penitentiary
scandal, and said few words abou
the Turney-Evans contest. HI
was opposed to the poll tax law, anC
quoted Democrats to sustain his
position. He was against the uni
form ballot law, the registration law

thing that Democrats had ever done
