They Failed to Comply.

E. s. Garrett issued a challenge to the Mormon Elders who are doing missionary work in eSlma. to a joint debate on the subject of Mormonism and named Dr. E. s. Starr as his representative to arrange the details of the discussion. The Nor mons at first appeared to be greatly pleased at the prospect of a public debate but have so far failed to select a man to meet pr. Starr to arrange the time and place for the discussion. MT. Gar rett was seen by your representative this morning. He says he has no idea that the Mormons will accept his challenge, but that they will not debate with any
 body at all posted on their doctrines. but
 will make a big bluff and then back
 down completely.
 It is said that these Mormons have
 made eighteen or twenty converts in
 Selma recently, among the number being
 one or two entire families. This Is one reason that so many are anxious for the Mormon Elders to accept MT. Garretts challenge to a joint debate. so that the light may be turned on and the theories of the Mormon Elders exploded and fully answered by one who has made a study of the doctrines and customs of the Lat ter Day Saints. MT. Garrett Is force full speaking, is strong in debate, and he promises the Mormons the most courteous treatment if they accept his challenge 1 to meet him on the issues as laid down | in the tract gotten out by Rev Ira W.Bos- well, and which they so vehemently de- nounced on the streets when one of them was handed to the Elder who was talking | last Saturday.
 MT. Garrett says If the Mormon Elders | do not accept his challenge to joint debate that he will arrange for a series | of public lectures on the subject, so that those who are inclined to follow the teachings of these Mormon Elders can come and hear the truth.
