RECT0R'S HEART WAS BROKEN.
SACRIFICED HIS LOVE FOR HIS DU-
TY TO HIS CHURCH.

Rev. Charles a. Jesup Upon Lenrnine
That His Fiancee was Divorce,
Broke His EnEagcment-Hts Bur-
den of sorrow Undermined His
Health and He Was Compelled TO
Resign--The Almost Tragic Endlng
of His sad Romance.
Atlanta, March There was more be-
hind the simple announcement OF the res
ignation of Rev. Charles A. Jesup rector
of St Luke's Episcopal Church OF this
city. than first appeared.
The story is one of sad romance with
sadder ending, and IS but another IN
stance of the power of love 90 blend or
blight human lives and snap the very
hearstrings asdnder
Rector Jesup was engaged 10 beauu-
full young lady of Baltimore whom ne
had wooed and won when he was as
sistant rector of St. Marks in that city,
before he came to Atlanta. The engage
ment was announced and the date set
AS the time for the marriage advanced
the entire church became deeply interested
in the event The ladies guild of the
OTGa0lLaflQn
the details of furnishing the rectory IN
honor of his approaching nupLals. The
rector went so far in arranging for the
bridal tour that he engaged passage for
himself and bride for England, intend
ing to spend a month in Europe.
Then came the sad denouement A
week before the date for the marriage
Telegram came from Baltimore that the
INTENDED bride was IN, and asking Mr.
JeslIp to come at once. He left on the
first train The next news heard from
him was an announcement that the en-
gsgement had been dissolved by mutual
Consent. The rector did not return to
Atlanta till month after the date set Tor
the marriage He was a changed man.
He was seized with nervous prostralon
that presaged a total collapse, and after a
few desultory sermons resigned his charge
and sought relief in the mountain dis
fricts of North Carolina
Now comes the saddest and most sor-
rowful part of it all. His affianced was a
divorce. whispers as to the cause of the
broken engagement began to circulate, not
only in the church. but in the city. 1t
was rumored, and the rumor is still cur
rent, that 1t was broken by the rector
himself when he learned that his betroth-
ed was a DIVORCE. The canOns of the
church forbid the marriage of a Divorce
in the church, and further forbid that
clergyman of the church shall perform
ceremony uniting couple, either of whom
are Divorces 1t was a great struggle
as the church regards ito chose be-
tween God and the world and he chung

the shock almost topped the throne of

FAVOR WHITE PRIMARIES.
Some New Railroad Arrangements
Made at isSunswick

Brunswick, Ga, March THE people of
Glynn favor a white primary to settle the
coming election contests, and this DISPOSE
ton seems TO extend almost unanimously
to all the candidates. Rumors have been
current for several DAYS to the effect that
the two factions. Ring and Good Govern
ment, were about to get together and set
tie the differences between themselves re-
gardiug the County Executive Committee
aud TO decide upon a white primary, but 50
far no formal proposition TO that end
seems to have passed from either side.
The conference of railroad superintend-
ents ended satisfactorily and beginning

yard master of the consolidated Plant
System and Southern Railroads here on
the day work and MIR j. c. Smith will
be assisted with the night work. Each

cal maintenance of the yards will remain
the same. Beginning Sunday the new
track arrangements of the roads will go
into effect and all trains in and out of
Brunwick will be over the Plant System s
tracks, thereby saving to each a big lot of
time and expense for extra running to
get to their destination after once enter
ing the city limits. A station and opera
tor will be jointly maintained at the six

new deal for Brunswick, and on Sunday

A TIME-HoNoRED COMMAND.
Beaufort Artillery Will Come to sa-
Vannah on Dewey Day.

Beaufort, S. c.. March 1.-The Beaufort
Volunteer Artillery Naval Reserves con-
template visiting Savannah on Dewey
day, and brief review of the history Of
this time-honored corps viii perhaps prove
interesting 10 The public. According to
William Gilmore Sims, the historian of
the Palmetto State, the company was or
ganized in 1776 and fought in the Revolu-
ton; later on the occasion of the visit OF
the distinguished Frenchman, Lafayette
to Beaufort, about 1924 the battery re-
ceiyed him, il is said that at that time
there was not member present under six
feet in hight About 1874 the Beaufort
Volunteer Guards were combined with the
artillery, under the name of the Beaufort
Volunteer Artillery. The company was
then commanded by Capt. j. G. Barnwell,
who resigned in 1860. Stephen Elliott sue
ceeded him History records him one of
the heroes of South Carolina. Capt. FL
lott was promoted in 1868, and as Gen.
Elliott he was soon after mortaly wound
ed in action, sacrificing his life on the
threshold of a promising career, on the
alter Of his country. Capt. II. M Stuart,
who is now the leading physician of Beau
fort and one of the few survivors of the
Civil War members, assumed command in
1863. and shared with his comrades the
nafdShlpS ana dangers they endured down
10 the end of the great struggle. The
record achieved by this handful of heroic
men is one that reflects imperishable glory
on the history of the Confederacy. Scarce
~ half a score of the veterans are now
living. Several years since, the command
was embodied in the South Carolina
naval militia. and has not since been
identified with the state militia on the
outbreak of hostilities with Spain the di-
vision was mustered into the regular
naval service in May, 1893, and served al
coast defense men al the Port Royal ma
val station until August of the same year,
when they were mustered out of service.

Democratic Executive Committee Is
Getting Ready for work.

Getting Ready for work.
Atlanta, March 1.-The State Democratic
Executive Committee will meet in Allan
ia about the middle of this month. The
exact date has not yet been decided upon,
but, according 90 reports, the time will
be determined in a few days.
Gov Gambler said this morning that he
Rad not heard when the committee would
be called together. but thought that il
would convene about the middle of the
month, as this would give it about the
usual time for the primaries to be held,
and the State Convention to meet and
elect delegates to the National Conven-
ton, which viii convene in Kansas City
July 4.
The Eexutive Committee will name the
time for the State Convention and also
suggest a date upon which a general pri-
mary can be held, and the County Exec
uttve Committees of the state, when they
meet viii most probably ratify this ac-
ton, as was the case two years ago.

Maitland, Fla, Feb. 2S.-The statement
of Mr.. F. j. S. Hardwick, in a recent
issue of the Morning News, as 20 snow on
the ground in Savannah on March L. 1897
is no doubt true. The winter of that year
in Georgia opened with the earliest snow
storm seen there in a great many years,
coming on Dec. and being four inches
deep. While it was cold winter, snow
came only in December and February and
March, being four and five inches deep ut
times On March 8 at ZeDulon in Pike
county, terrific hail storm with hail
stones as big as hens eggs, came unex,
pectedly, killing live stock and smashing
g.ass windows. 1t is also a tradition that
there was snow storm in North Georgia

the state experiencing just such an I'M

Constable Arrested.

Constable Arrested.
Columbia, s. c., March 1.-G. W. w.
Williams, arrested in Augusta on the
charge of opening another mans mail and
forging a check, seems to be going in
the face of providence to be caught in
Georgia. His record is certainly unique
He is from Barnwell county, and after
practicing law there, and in Columbia for
quite a number OF years went to Savan-
nah and vicinity, where he was detected
in crooked work and released on bond.
He returned to his home and at the
first term of court thereafter was dis
barred. Then having jumped his bond, re-
QUESTION papers were gotten out and a
Georgia agent sent for him. The papers
Were honored here and the agent went
for his man. The magistrate refused to
arrest Williams when called on to do so.
but at Williams demand arrested the
Georgia agent for forgery, declaring Gov
Ellerbe was i'll and had not signed the
requ'sition papers
While the agent was attempting to keep
out of Jail and get bondsmen, Williams
fed and his arrest in Augusta is the first
heard of him since.
