The Athenians.
REPORTER.

The Athenian Society met in the So
ciety room Friday, October 10, 1900.
The society was called to order by
the president. The roll call was re-
sponded to with quotations, and on &C
count of the secretary being absent,
the minutes we're not read.
The program was carried out as fol-
lows:
Life of William Cullen Bryant, Jes-
sic Adams.
Debate: Resolved, That the South
should elect the next president.
Those on the affirmative we're Kath-
leen Chrisman and Frank Collins.
Negative Sara Love and Lizzie Free
The judges decided the debate tie,
as both sides had about an equal num-
Der of points.
Death of the Flowers was read by
Lizzie Barnes.
Biography of Inez Lewis; Katie
Burns.
Critics paper by Lizzie Barnes.
Criticism of the program by Maize
Buie.
On account of the constant absence
of the critic, Lizzie Barnes was ap
pointed in her stead.
There being no other business or
hand the society adjourned to meet
Friday, Oct. 26, 1900.

THE DEMOCRATIC CLUB.

Contrary to expectations there was
but small attendance at the Demo
cratic club meeting last Friday night.
Hon. Thos. Brady, who had been in
vitcd to address the club, was present
and delivered a strong aud forcible
speech on the issues involved in the
present national campaign, which was
well received by all who heard it.
On account of there not being full
meeting, the question of recommend
ing a white primary for the nomination
of candidates for municipal officers ia
this city was not taken up. The editor
of The LEADER, who introduced the
subject at the previous meeting of the
club, was absent on account of a con-
flicting official engagement at the Bus
mess League, and several others who
expected to attend the club we're kept
away by similar reason.
The date of the municipal election
and the limit for the filing of nomina-
tions are now so near at hand we con-
slider 1t impracticable to carry the
plan into immediate effect, unless the
necessity was apparent and the inter
est in the subject more general, and so
dismiss it for the time, but shall take
it up at "a more opportune time in the
future and urge its adoption.
We are free to admit that, unlike
our neighbor of the Times, we have
not canvassed the subject sufficiently
to say what is the present "concensus
of opinion" of the Democrats of the
city regarding +, white primary,
but, as far as we have heard any
expression, it is unanimously in favor
OF it, excepting only the voice of
the Times. 1t is the Democratic
policy of Mississippi for nominating
State, county and municipal candi-
dates, and there is scarcely city in
the State, the size of this, where it has
not already been wisely adopted. THE
LEADER learns from the city registrar
that, on the presumption of free-for-
all race at the regular election, some
candidates are already searching the
alleys and by-ways for negroes who
may be brought out and registered for
the defeat of their opponents, and ev-
cry white citizen who has had any part
in practical politics in Mississippi,
knows exactly what that means.

Fair River Associations.

The Fair River Baptist Association
convened on Friday last with the
Pleasant Grove church, II miles from
Brookhaven, on the lower Meadville
road, in it's 10Th annual session and
continued in daily session until Mon
day. All of the churches constituting
the body, "a in number, were repre-
scented by letter and delegates, except
Wellman. That church has ceased to
exist, on account of the removal OF
most of its members. d. M. Lee was
re elected moderator, Geo. T. Douglass
clerk, and A. j. Martin treasurer, by
reclamation. All three are laymen
and fill their respective offices to the
entire satisfaction of their brethren
and credit to themselves. The intro
ductory sermon was preached by Rev.
j. Z. Wills, talented and consecrated
young minister of this county who has
not yet completed his course at col
lege, and who is young man of much
PROMISE, Vi WHOu Ills DIeCHIeu anu
neighbors are justly proud.
The regular sessions of the associa
ton were taken up with the usual
routine business On Sunday morn
ing there was a Sabbath school mass
meeting which was addressed by a
number of Sunday school workers:
followed during the day by sermons
by Revs. A. F. Davis, J. J. w. Mathis,
J. A. Scarborough and j. E. Lowe
There were enough people present for
two large congregations and the church
and outdoor stand were utilized by the
preachers before and after dinner.
The hospitable people of Pleasant
Grove church and vicinity furnished
dinner on the grounds every day dur
ing the meeting, and all delegates and
visitors were given cordial welcome
and amply provided for.
The ladies of Pleasant Grove, with
commendable pride and forethought,
had their little church as clean and
neat as pin when the Association
convened, and a placard on the wall
rightly admonisbed the tobacco chew
ers not to spit on the floor.
The next session of the Association
will convene with the Union church,
Lincoln county, Friday before the 3rd
Sabbath in October, 1901, and the in
troductory sermon will be preached by
