Baptists Excluded a Dispenser.
Athens Ga, Banner.

Athens Ga, Banner.
Mr. Macon G. johnson, manag
OF the Athens dispensarv, is no
longer q Nom mber of the First
Baptist church of Athens.
This church took action upon
his case Sunday morning and on
his refusal to give up the position
he holds at the dispensary, the
church 10y vote of three t. one
excluded him from membership.
The objection raised to Mr.
johnson was mot personal, nor
did it pertain to his private or re-
ligious character. 1t was based
upon the fact that he sold liquors
at the dispensary. He had strong
defenders in the church, they
maintaining that the dispensary
was established in part by the
votes and influence of the mem-
bers of the Baptist church, that it
was deemed to be the best solu-
tion of the uhiskey that could be
obtained in Athens, and that Mr.
johnson had accepted the position
of the manager of the dispeusary
only after consultation with the
leading mem bers of the church as
to his religious duty.

McLAURlN HAS DECLINED
Urged by the President to 90 to
the Philippines but Preferred to
Stay Here.
The News and Courier

The News and Courier
Washington, Feb 15-Senator
McLaurin was TODAY invited by
the president to serve as a mem
Der of the new Philippine cons
mission. The junior senator from
South Carolina received a message
from the president stating that he
desired to. confer with him on q
personal matter. The hour for
the conference was appointed for
this morning. Senator McLaurin
went to the. white house and had q
long consultation with the presi
dent relative to the membership
! on the commission. The whole
subject was fully discussed, the
I scope of the commission and the
duties expected to be performed
by the members of the commits
sion. Senator McLaurin expressed
his gratitude at thus being honor ed
by the president, but said he could
not see his way clear to make
such personal sacrifice which
would separate him from his
family. The president asked him
to consider the matter fully be-
fore declining the invitation and
said that it was his intention to
appoint a representative southern
democrat on the commission.
Senator McLaurin replied that he
had no desire to retire from the
senate, where his surroundings
are very agreeable, and he feels
that he can render more efficient
service to the cause of CONNER
cial expansion bv remaining in
the senate than by going to tho
Philippines as a member of the
comm ission.

TILLMAN'S TRIBUTE TO
LINCOLN.
South Carolina Senator Praises
Leader of Union Cause During
Speech in Congress.
(From Mr.. Tillman's Speech in
the Senate, January 29.)

The condition in regard 10
slavery and the ceaseless agitation
had embittered the South against
the North and the North against
South. Secession and belief in
States rights, for which the South
has always contended, prscipitated
the conflict. The North fought to
preserve the Union and to free
the slaves, and the South fought
for self>government and the in
herited belief in the justice of
holding slaves as property. The
Declaration of Ind, pendence was
the slogan of both sections. The
North contended that the Declara-
tion embraced the negroes, while
tho South, remembering that
Jefferson had been slave holder,
contended that it did not was
only a boy of 13 when the great
struggle began, but who can for
get, even though Il child, the
angry outbursts, the battle cries
that had led up to the bloody
contest

was the man, the embodiment of
all that was best and nOblest in
Northern civilization, and even in
American civilization, who stood
as the great apostle of liberty 2
Whose words of fervid eloquence
marshaled the Northern hosts 2
Whose high moral purpose, whoss

Mrs. JEANNE Rice Hamilton Kragel has, after
two trials, succeeded IN obtaining a decree from

Der Of the cabinet making firm of Louis Kragel &

husband is a member of Kountze Brothers bank
ing house
Mrs. Kragel complained OF her husbands neglect
from the date of their marriage June 7, 1882
and alleged 1t was impossible for her to live with
him. The first case tried before Justice Fitz-
gerald. when Mrs Kragel testified she had done all
in her power to retain KrageTs affection. but he
had treated her with the greatest GOODNESS, and
subsequently with positive cruelty.
Justice Fitzgerald did consider that Mrs.
Kragel had produced sufficient evidence Of her hus-
bands i'll treatment Of her to warrant the annul-
ment of the marriage, but permitted her to re-
open her suit and produce further testimony. She
had the brought up the second time before
Justice Andrews. She said she-had been grossly
deceived by him. and that he had after marriage
turned out altogether different husband from
