A BOOTLEss INVESTIGATION.
Grand Jury Gets Little Light on
Vote buying.


The grand jury, at its session yesterday
afternoon, had under discussion the sub
ject of the purchase of votes. Only three
witnesses were summoned to appear on
this question, and as neither one of the
witnesses had purchased any votes or seen
any purchased. the investigation did not
prove a very profitable one.
AS the grand jury has until the end of
the month to continue its Investigations,
it may accomplish something on this line
yet The managers and leading workers
in the recent municipal campaign are we'll
known to the members of the jury, and
if they should be called upon to testify
they might give evidence more to the point
than that yet secured.
After being out about two hours the
grand jury returned the following true
bills:
Elliott Washington, assault with intent
to murder.
Douglass Griffith, assault with intent to
murder
Sam Grant, robbery.
w. B. Watkins, forgery.
Fred Haustman, assault and battery.
H. I. Mathews. larceny after trust
Mathews is charged by r. H. Plant Of
Macon, general agent for the New York
Life Insurance Company, with collecting
premiums on insurance policies and fail
ing to pay the same over to the general
agent. 1t is charged that the amounts
represented by seven different policies
We're appropriated in this matter. the to-
tai amount being $17998. Mathews is from
Liberty county, but the offenses charged
were committed in Chatham.

Wherever President Mckinley
s topped, in bis Western tour, he was
greeted by thousands, and whenever
he spoke, gems OF patriotic thought
and state smanship flowed from his
lips, that are nowhere surpassed in
history. Here is an extract from his
speech at Quincy, ILL.,: This is an
era OF patriotism, my countrymen.
The United States has never been
lacking in gratitude to it's soldiers
an d it's sailors who have fought in
it's cause and the cause OF the United
States has never lacked defenders in
every crisis of it's history, from the
Revolution down to the present,
the citizens OF the United States have
been eyer ready to uphold at any
cost the flag and the honor OF the
nation and to take all the response
bility which comes from a righteous
cause. There are responsibilities,
born of duty, that can never be re-
pudiated. Duty unperformed is dis.
no nor, and dishonor brings shame
th at is heavier to carry than any
burden which honor can impose. "

A Qaiet Campaign.

Very little eexcitement is eyinced in
the present campaign which closes
with next Tuesdays vote Republi-
cans have no need of any particular
campaign, because the Supreme
Judges are so well known. The
union forces have done little except
to issue a circular criticising the
present Judges on the ground OF
tn cir favoring railroad or corporate
interests. But that is of no conse
quence, because such q resolution
was offered in the Union convention
at Mitchell, and was voted down by
the populists themselves. And OF
the IA railroad cases carried up to
the present court 8 OF them were
decided against the railroads. No
one doubts but what the republican
Judges will be reelected, but it is
wise for all republicans to go to the
polls and vote.
There are two county commits sion
ers to elect in this county, one in the
2nd and one in the 9Th districts
In the 5th republicans have nomi.
mated one of their best young farm
ers, Sherm. Mcdonald, OF Carleton
township.
In the I'd, or Miller district, re-
publicans have an especially strong
candidate in F. M. Mead, a farmer,
pioneer settler an old soldier, fol
many years n business man OF Miller,
where he still owns property. Mr.
Mead is deservedly popular with al
clas ses, and will be easily elected,
The district is republican, but as
the populists did not nominate a
andidate many of them also will
vote for Mr.. Mead. There is great
deal of work to do this fall to get
ready for winter, but everybody
sh ould take time to vote.

Lots of Serious CeIestiaIs Join In tho
 Work

Amid the diseouragements which the recent revolution in Picking has occa- stoned to those concerned in China's welfare-for the movement in question is manifestly anti-reform, anti-foreign, and consequently anti-Christian- there are many signs that such oppo- sition can not radically hinder this eountry's enlightenment. Such sign is the progress of the Y. M. C. A. move ment among Chinese youths, which is assuming considerable importance, es- pecially in connection with mission schools. It was found desirable to in vite from America an experienced worker in this department; and though 1t will be some time before this gen tleman can speak Chinese, there is no difficulty in the matter of interpreters, native or foreign
 Yesterday in our large Shanghai mis- sion church, says a pondent. there were gathered 200 Chinese boy scholars from various mission schools in and near Shanghai. all of whom were either members of the local Y. M. c. A. or willing to join it. Earnest addresses were given and prayers offered both in English and Chinese, the English ad- dresses being admirably translated by a Christian Chinaman; while the bright h1tau singing of those strong young voices was a delightful sound. At the close of the morning meeting prayers were distributed to the boys containing questions 10 be answered tp writing and form of Christian en- gagement to be signed. At the after noon service many of these were re- turned most satisfactorily and intelH- gently filled in.

WHY ROBIN HAS A RED BREAST
one of Christ's oomforters When He
Hung on the Cross.


 Birds played part at the crucifxion, according to legend. After Jesus had been nailed to the cross two birds came and alighted on the extended arms of the instrument of death. One was 8 magpie, with beautiful aigrette on it's head and long, waving tail then the handsomest of birds, but the wickedest. chirping insults at the suffering Jesus The other bird was modest little bird, with gray plumage, which al a' oached the cross timidly, uttering cries of grief. With it's wings it tried to wipe away the blinding sweat and blood from the face of Jesus, while with it's heak 1t tried to pluck away one of the Horns which was piercing Jesus fore 4ead, A single drop of blood fell on he breast of the pitying little gray bird. and gave the world the robin red breast. And to it Jesus said: Blessed be thou, little bird, which sharest my sorrows. May joy accompany thee eY- anywhere. Thine eggs shall be as blue as the sky above. thou shalt be the bird of God bearer of good tidings. As for thee" said he to the magpie, "thou shalt be an accursed bird. Thou shalt lose that brilliant aigrette and the beautiful colors on which thou pridest myself so highly. Ethereal bird. thy message shall be only evil, and the rain from heaven shall always fall into thy nest" The peasants of France in accordance with this tradi- tion. pierce the heart of a magpie with thorn whenever they catch one. Tn Spain the swallow Is considered the good bird, and they say that when the Roman soldiers pressed the crown of thorns on Jesus brow the swallows came and tried to remove the thOrns with their beaks. The Russians say that the swallows took away the Dails which the eXeeutioners had brought, but the sparrows carried them back again. The Danish say that the moment of the crucifxion the stork, moved with pity, cried "styrkhain! Styrkhain" God give him strengthD and since that time the st0rk has been consider ed sacred. It is also stated that Lon ginus, the Roman soldier who pierced the side of Jesus with the spear, was converted on account of the blood which fell upon him. This was due 10 the cleansing power of that blood according to the church. and his eyes were thus opened to the beauty Of ho- iness. Philadelphia Inquirer.
