TWO PROMINENT EDUCATORS.

We had the pleasure last weok of spond-
ance upon tho meeting of tho board of
trustees of Furman University. While
there We wcro gratificd to mcot Or.
Lodge, the newly-olected president of
tho Limestone Fomaio College. We met
at the homo of that charming Christian
gentleman, DR.. Montague, president of
Furman University. Wo wcro informed
that DR.. Lodge was a former pupil of DIR.
Montague and wo arc constrained to give
credenco to tho statement from tho fact
of his close resemblance in Ccmcanor and
manners to that eminent gentleman.
Aftor an intimate acquaintance with DR..
Montague, and having mot DR.. Lodge,
wo aro impressed with the thought that
tho Baptists of tho State have made no
mistake i'll calling these gcntlomen to
preside over their institutions of learn
ing and cmtrusting to them the oduca-
tion Of thoir boys and girls.
Drs Montague and Lodge have no
suporiors, and few equals, in tho South.
Their high character, ability and learn
ing, polished address and charming man
ners always attract, and never rcpcl oven
thoir pupils. Each of these worthy cd,,.
Gators, We fcol sure, is exactly the right
man in tho right place. They arc sure
to exercise an influence over tho Baptists
of trc State for untold good. DR.. Mon
taguo has already drawn around him
and worthily so-tho leading mon iii his
church. We regret that he is not able
to meet every Baptist in the State. AS a
Christian educator he is fast imprcssing
himself on tho university over which he
presides. We anticipate with pleasure
tho timo when our son shall sit at his
feet and drink inspiration from that foun-
tain of learning.

Who Is to Build the Prather Bridge Z

PULASKI, S. c., Juno 20, 1890.
Mcssrs. Editors: desire space in your
valuable columns to reply to an article l
sec iii your paper, signed by j. J. Haloy,
in regard to tho rebuilding of tho Prather
bridge, over tho Tugaloo river, and his
opposition, as ho doems it, before the
Taxpayers of Oconoo county.
Now lot us SEQ how much sense thoro
is in Mr.. Ualeys article. First, he tolls
us as Taxpayers Of Oconee if wo arc
willing to pay tax to rebuild the Prathor
bridge ho will endeavor to mako lis pay
tax to build two othor bridges on tho
lowor Tugaloo. How will that do for n
threat rs Il county official on the tax
payers of tho county
Further, Mr. Haley claims three bridges
above tho Air Limo Railroad. Remem-
is in sight of tho Air Line Railroad; tho
other two arc on Chattuga river, and
arc carrying trade and money from Ra-
bun county, Ga, and North Carolina into
our county and our county towns every
day. Notwithstanding all this, Mr..
Ah"'SJ w }iifS NO PCopic VI CuC
Tugaloo Valley good road to our
county towns; but if we and our Georgia
friends want bridge, let us havo it at
our own expense.
1t seems that Mr.. Haley objects to us
trading in Georgia or at Toccoa. would
like to know if Mr.. Haley always bought
all of his goods in Oconee county? Wo
can go to Toccoa and back in one day,
while it would take lis from two to threo
days to 20 to ono of our county markets.
SO any fair-mindcd man can SEQ that
there is no foundation in his article.
Now, claim that we, as ctizons of
Oconce county, are all Taxpayers, and
should be tho samo people, and our
county officials should act for the whole
people and not for any ono faction. We,
as citizens of tho Tugaloo valley, havo
asked for tho Prather bridge to be rebuilt,
and we claim that it is right that it
should be rebuilt. If tho people of the
lower Tugaloo valley want one or two
FREQ bridges, let thom say so. Then it
would be right that tho bridge or bridges
be built for them; but LOT tho people
make the request. 1t will bo timo enough
then for Mr.. Haley to act. We hopo Mr..
IIaloy's heart is right, but his head is
wrong. Respectfully,
B. G., ROTuEIL

Atlanta's Mayor Scored.

ATLANTA, Ga, Juno 10.-Dr. l.. G..
Bronghton, pastor of tho Tabernacle
Baptist church, in n sermon last night
before two thousand people, bitterly
arraigned Mayor James G. Woodward.
His remarks wero followed by applause
from tho congregation. He said in part:
81 am ashamed of our Mayor. IIo is %
libcrtino and sOt. These facts aro all
we'll known to tho council and need not
have mo to declare them. The timo has
como for council to act. Thoro is not q
single decent man in tho city, in my
judgment, who docs not ropudiato our
Mayor and desire his impeachment.
'Euliy onc-third of his timo since no
began his administration has boon spont
undcr tho influence of whiskoy. Those
charges can be readily established. Thoy
arc known all over tho country. Men
have spoken of tho conduct of our
Mayor while was on tho train, and they
havo said that it was shame that this
community had to put up with such a
man, and all that I could say In dofonce
of our city was 'amon "
As result of DR.. ion G. Broughton's
force attack on Mayor Woodward from
his pulpit at tho Tabernacle Baptist
church Sunday night, tho city council
took up tho matter Monday afternoon
and unanimously decided to investigate
tho charges against tho Mayor.

81 SMITH CAPTURED AND LODGED IN JAIL
The Slayer OF J. C. Bell Found Hiding in the
Walls OF His Fathers House.

CLARKESV1LLE, GEORGIA, Junc 2O-Si
Smith, tho slayer of j. c. Bell, who has
been hunted night and day for two
months, was captured yesterday after
noon at the homo of his father in Rabun
county, and was lodged in tho Clarltes-
vile Jail last night, where he is safely
guarded.
The capture Of Smith has caused great
excitement in Rabun and IIabcrsham
counties and there is intense feeling in
this section, but there is no likelihood of
any serious trouble.
Smith was found hiding between the
ceiling and Notwithstanding of his faith
crs house, having entered the place of
hiding through false door. The place
was an ideal ono for hiding and it was a
fine piece of work on the part of his cap
tnrs TO locate him.
Smith was located and captured by
Tom Bell, Tom Bryson and Henry Low
cry. The first is n son Of the murdered
man and he is a leading citizen and Off
cial of Gainesville.
The elder Smith resides twelve miles
from hero at Burton, Rabun county.
1t will be remembered that Smith
killed Bell one Sunday morning about
two months ago, near Santco, at which
place the alleged murderc. kept store
Bell was travelling for an Atlanta drug
house at the time and he had stayed all
night at Smiths house Saturday night.
Sunday morning Smith and Bell went
buggy riding, and, for some cause and
manner never yet clearly learned, the
murder was committed.
Bells dead body was found on the
roadside, his head and face beaten into a
jolly-like mass and his body terribly
bruised and bleeding. The man had
been literally beaten to death with rocks
and sticks and left on the roadside in a
pool of his own blood.
Smith escaped and until his captm .
yesterday no trace of him could be
found, although it was believed all tho
time that tho alleged murderer was in
hiding near the scene Of his crime.
A reward of - 600 for tho capture of
Smith was offered soon after the murder
and his captors will receive that amount
for their trouble. Five hundred dollars
was offered by tho State and 500 by Mr..
Tom Bell, of Gainesville, who will him
self receive q part Of the reward as he
was ono of the CaptOrs.
