WHY WESLEY LEFT AMERICA.
Was Indicted, Judge Candler Says for Ecclesiastical Tyranny"


 Atlanta. Ga. Special.
 Former Governor Allen Candler may have to make a trip to London 10 eatheE data in the Public Record Journal on the colonial records relating to Georgia history, upon which le Is now engaged. Governor Candler related to party or friends at the State capitol an interest ing episode in the career Of John Wesisy at Savannah, and which led up 10 the great divine's return to England These facts Governor Candler gleaned from the pa ges of wesleys diary, kept by John Wesley himself which Is among the pos sessions of the Georgia Historical So- ciety
 It appears that Wesley fell in love with a lady who, from the evidence at hand, must have given him the marble heart in the most disdainful way. This lady af- Wesley refused to administer the sacra- ment to her, presumably because he con- sidered her unworthy, and thereupon the grand jury of Savannah, A strong, re- turned an indictm ent against Wesley Tor "ecclesiastical tyranny.
 Wesley demurred to his indictment on two grounds: First, because the offense. if any, was ecclesiastical, and he should court, and. secondly, because the jury preferring the indictment was illegally constituted, there being on 1t one atheist, one infidel, one Papist. one Frenchman. who could not speak English, and four Baptists.
 The authorities offered to let Wesley go 1 on bond. but he demanded trial, which was postponed. Wesley refused to give | bond, and the town of Savannah was guarded to keep Wesley from departing. About a month later he reached the | river unobserved ,and, taking a bateau, | rowed down the river and out to a ship | in the ocean, on which he sailed for Eng
 land, stating in his diary that he wiped
 the dust of Georgia from his feet.

NORTH CAROLINA SILK.
Cocoons Raised Past Year Sold fol
 90 Cents to S1 Pound.

Raleigh, N C., Special.
 Prof. Gerald Mccarthy. the State bioio- gist, says; "A small but satisfactory crop of silk cocoons was produced in North Carolina in 1902. With this experience and improved methods and appliances we should be able to obtain a larger and better yield in 1903. The coopns were sold in New York at 90 cents to H per pound, for choked cocoons,
 Since silk growing is light. easy and interesting work-suitable for women and children, and can be carried on at home with little or no expense for supplies, it is hoped that the number of silk grow CTS will be greatly augmdn.ed this year. D says Prof. Mccarthy.
 The North Carolina Department of Az riculture will again undertake to find a market for all the good cocoons that may be produced in the State in 1908. The department will also import fresh sup ply of silk worm eggs and distribute the same to citizens at ret cost. The price for eggs will be as follows: Per Is ounce 40 cents; per 1-4 ounce, 75 cents; per 1-2 ounce. 50: per ounce. 8. fAd- lively no eggs supplied free. Applications should be made at once to the under signed and must be accompanied by the price, in postage stamps or money order. No applications can be received later than March 1.
 The United States Department of Az riCIlture has a small supply of silk worm eggs for free distribution this year.

Night Schools and Mission Teachers
 for the Convicts.

Editor The Advertiser:
 Thirteen years ago the Legislature passed law establishing a night school under the care of rssiuent missionary wherever one hundred convicts were em- ployed. Soon after the passage of this law. the convicts were leased to various companies. and these were required to undertake the expense of employing a missionary teacher.
 Now the convicts have been taken back to the care of the State; and 1t Is neces- sary that the old law be re-enacted. It would be disgrace to the State if she should do less for the reputation of her convicts than she compelled the contrac- tors to do.
 The duties of prison missionaries in- clude the conducting of Sunday schools, With suitable assistance from volunteer aid. and daily visits to the prison hos pital to bring comfort to the sick and dying Nothing new Is requested; simp- lly the continuance of a plan which ha s been in operation for thirteen years, since 1887.

A LOSS TO ALABAMA.

The death of such a man as Jabez Lamar Monroe Curry deserves something more than a passing notice from Ala bamians. Alabama claims him. for he was but a boy of twelve when his father came to Taaladega County. From that date he was of and for Alabama. He was little more than a boy when he was elected to the Legislature from Tal- ladeea. although he had graduated at the University of Georgia and had taken a law course at Harvard. We have often heard old citizens of TaAadega speak Of his smooth face and boyish appearance, and that he was sometimes twitted about 1t while on the stump.
 But the boy soon proved that there was a mans brain in his head. and good citizens heart in his breast. From that day till the curtain of death shut him ont from human life he was devoted son of his adopted State. Whether on the field of battle, on the musings. In the halls of legislation or on the educator throne he was always true to his con- yictions, to his country. to his friends and to Alabama His voice was ever for the right as he saw 1t. and his time always spent in iaboring for the good Of man kind. Though he had passed the allotted span of human life his increasing years added wisdom and charity and kindliness toward an
 MT. Curry was a philanthropist in the broadest and best sense of the term He loved his fellow man and he loved to do good. All the last years of his life were devoted to the work of educating and up- lifting his people. and he has left behind him a record and 6 reputation more en- during than stons or brass. Of him, as of few men, can be said in the language of Bryan's Thanatopsts: So live, that when thy summons comes to The isnumerable caravan which moves To that mysterious realm where each Ills chamber in the silent nalls of death, Thou go note like the quarry slave at
 scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed
 By an unfaltering trust. approach thy grave
 Like one that wraps the drapery of his couch
 About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
 Truly the death of such a man is a loss to his State and to humanity. There are
 but few of his generation left. and none | better.

The New Haven Register says there was no necessity for any one writing to MT. Cleveland to get his views regarding his attitude towards the next Presidential nomination" Of course not. Any man who knows MT. Cleveland. or who knows anything about him. or who has kept informed as to his sentiments. can have no reason for misunderstanding his posi- ton. He. like thousands of other good Democrats throughout the Union, Is anxious for Democratic success, and wants that success to come along Demo- cratic lines. He is not the kind of man to sacrifice principles for success, nor is he the kind of man to put himself for ward in the belief that his personality is essential to Democratic triumph The country knows how and where he stands and knows that his services are always to be had when real Democracy needs him

Letters to The Editor.
County superintendents of Education

Editor The Advertiser:
 Your correspondent who, in his com munication on the Radically Wrong System of present county superipteno- ency, delivers the blow direct at the right time to that system, must be a lawyer and a tactician. The State De- partment of Education, through the chairmen of the committees of educa- ton of the Senate and House, has had introduced into both branches of the Legislature an educational bill which re- constructs the public school system of the State. It now behooves every patriotic citizen to help create that wholesome public sentiment whi3 translates itself into wlse laws. R1medying many of the defects of present school jaws, the most vital issue which the proposed bill meets is that of intelligent supervision or schools. Montgomerian.

WORDS FITLY SPOKEN. The Richmond Times-Dispatch says

If Democracy means anything, 1t means the rule of the people, but the people tions, primary and general, free course as to the expression of the popular will All manner of corruption and bribery, all sorts of manipulation. all sorts of schemes which in any way tend to prevent the voters from expressing themselves fully and freely at the polls tend to undermine pure Democracy and popular government.
 These are solid truths. Democracy does mean the rule of the people and in no way can they rule except through honest elections. When each man can cast his ballot absolutely uuinhuenced and unim- peded. when that ballot is honestly count ed and correctly reported, and when the announced results correspond exactly with the desires of the voters, then we can say that the will of the people has been expressed. and that their rule has begun. And that Is why The Advertiser has been consistently advocating a law under which elections will be honest
 And while on the subject we will add that we want honest primaries as well as other elections. In Alabama a pri- 4S dh C4CGLAph HI SFOA hhi4A Oub lAC mere formality of ratifying the choice of the people on the day fixed by law. and if that primary is not honestly conducted and truthfury announced 1t is a farce and the will of the people has not been expressed, neither can It be said that the people rule when they are swindled or counted out of their choice. Democracy is something more than a word and 1t should be the pride of Democrats to carry out the meaning of the term on all oc- casions. A primary for a constable should be as sacred and honest as an election for President, because it is just as culpable to wrong a few of the people as 1t is to wrong all the people. An honest election, fair count and punishment for wrong doers is the platform to win on.
