THE CANDIDATES..

The absence of the Editor of the
last week when the cards
of Messrs. Churchman, Walker Will
Hams and Craig appeared in these
columns, is our apology for not espec-
tally calling to public attention the
gentlemen who have placed themselves
before the public as candidates for
the Legislature. 1t may be safely
said that the people of this county
have seldom been called upon to
choose between men of more intrinsic
merit.
Mr.. Craig has not been tried as a
member of the body in which he seeks
seat, but no doubt he would, if elect
ed, honestly and faithfully perform
the duties, with credit alike to him
selfe and his constituents. The other
three candidates have been tried and
have not been found wanting. All
four are large property owners and
deeply interested in the welfare of the
State and county. Two we know have
been valient Confederate soldiers, and
all were born and bred on the soil of
Augusta county.

The New PRESBYTERIAN Church.

Plans for the new building of the
Second Presbyterian church have been
prepared and accepted by the building
committee and will soon be in the
hands of contractors. The drawings
represent a handsome, cOmmodious,
and up-to-date building, with many
conveniences and comforts. As noted
the exterior front will consist of two
square towers, one so feet, the Oti. or
100 feet high; the tall tower modelled
much after that of Emmanuel church.
An arched portico with tiled floor, is
built between the towers and through
this portico entrance to the auditOri
um will be had by three large
swinging doors framed with bevel
edge chip plate glass. Above the
portico will be large arched stain
glass window. The front of the
church with it's two towers, it's arched
porch and it's steep roof profile will
make a very handsome appearance.
Along the sides of the auditorium will
be row of arched stain glass win
dows, while below will! be square
windows for lighting the Sunday
School room. This room measures
35x5O feet and will have ON either
side communicating rooms, seven in
number, which will serve for class
rooms, parlors, kitchen and toiled
rooms. Above is the-main auditor
ium. This is to be a large handsome
room 50x67 feet, with sloping floor,
circle pews and three aises, with a
seating capacity for 900 people. The
gallery, crescent shOped and extending
across the rear end of room will seat
125. An elevated platform is to be
erected for the pulpit and to the right
of this place for the choir; in rear a
choir room. The ceiling is cOncave
with ornamental plaster moulding, and
dome in center. The room is to be
fitted with chandelier and sight lights.
a session room is provided for in one
of the towers. The committee are
about ready to contract and will soon
begin the work of removing the old
church building and will press the
work of construction as fast as
weather conditions permit.

OUR CHOICE.

Many excellent gentlemen have offer
ed their services to the county as mem
bers of the Legislature, so many in-
deed that it is difficult to choose be-
tween them But in as much as a
choice must be made of two of the num-
Der we desire to say that in our hum
BILE judgment the people could not do
better than to select Lieut.. S. II
Walker and Mr.. J. w. Churchznhn.
Mr.. Walker is native of Augusta.
born and bred upon its soil. a man of
the highest moral character of large
property interests, and as true and
loyal to our people as men are made.
H. has served us as a legislator. and
he served us well and faithfully. He
was a Confederate soldier and without
intending invidious distinction we as
sert there was none better. AS for
Mr.. Churchman he was too young to
enjoy the latter distinction but other
wise what we have said of Mr. Wake
u Ill III every S0uoc uO cdlu VI uln. ACI .
is in Mr.. Churchman such independ-
ence of action such freedom from
demagogery, such pure and unselfish
motives, and such clear insight as to
what is best to do or leave undone
that we unhesitatingly declare that he
should be again intrusted with this
Office. We believe the people up on re-
| Election will come to the same conclu-
sion as to both Walker and Church
| man. DEMOCRAT.

VERY INDIGNANT.

Seine ministers are finding fault
with the Rev. DIR. Hoge, of Louisville,
because he performed the marriage
Ger emony between Mr.. Flagler, the
divorced Florida millionaire, and Miss
Lille Kenan, of Wilmington, N. c.
Two very potent reasons may infu-
ence those who now seek to draw Mr..
Hoge over the GOALS. One no doubt is
because their high moral sense was
shocked, the other may be because it
sMr. HOge and not they who got
the 81 900 fee. These gentlemen whose
sensibllities were shocked ought to
recall the fact that marriage is fast
being looked on a civil contract and
not a religious rite; that the courts
have been unable to construe it other
wise on account of property rights,
which attach, and that marriages
legal, and marriages sacred, must
stand before the law as one and the
same, hence in many States the minis
ter is very much ignored, and may be
so entirely before long. If the con-
science of the clergy therefore becomee
so sensitive as to prohibit their offici
ating at these functions, the justice,
mayor, probate judge or other officer
may soon relieve them both of fees and
responsibility. We think it safe to
say that no minister who now criticiz
es DIR. Hoge in this affair would have
acted otherwise than be did, had the
opportunity been offered, though as it
was not offered it is easy for the other
clergyman to rise high in his stirups
OF Indignation, and lament the sor.
didity of DR.. Hoge.
