CONSCIENCE CAMPAIGN
Was the Subject of Speech Made
by Bryan.


New Haven, Conn, Jan. 11.-William
J. Bryan was the guest of honor to-
day at banquet in Warner Hall at
which about $50 Democrats were pres
ent. Gov. Garvin of Rhode Island and
Congressman DeArmond of Missouri,
were among the guests from other
states
The occasion took the form of
celebration of Jackson Day and was
also declared by some of its promo
tiers to be intended as a sort Of a pre-
Jude to the opening of the presidential
campaign in New England.
Mr.. Bryan's topic was "A Conscience
Campaign" He said, in part:
The great issue at this time is the is
sue is between man ad Mammon-be-
tween plutocracy and Democracy. All
surface questions of policy, of taxation
and of regulation and of finance are
but phases of that century-long, that
worldwide struggle between the COM
mon people and organized wealth. To
say that it does not pay for a nation
TO violate the rights or the people of
another nation involves so much of
addition, subtraction, MULTIPLICATION
and division that many get lost in
mase of mathematics. But to say.
That the wages of sin is death is
to give an epitome of history that ac-
cords with each persons experience
In dealing with the trusts. with fl
nance, with labor problems and with
all the other questions at issue we must
view them from a moral standpoint
and arraign every evil at the bar of the
public conscience "

night at the advanced age of 90 years.
seventy-two years of which she had
been a religeuse. She was born in
Ireland, but came to America in 1882.
An interesting incident in her life
occurred in Savannah after the arrest
of President Jefferson Davis of the
Confederacy. At that trying time
everybody was timid about extending
succor to Mrs. Davis and her children
for fear of bringing upon their own
heads the resentment of the invading
host, but Sister Agnes boldly went to
the aid of Mrs. Davis and did all in
her power to add to the comfort of
the distressed woman and children.
st. Mary's Convent was established
by Mother Agnes, and she has been
identified with the institution from it's
founding Her remains will be sent
to Savannah tomorrow for interment.

NEWS AT STATESBORO.

Statesboro, Ga, Jan. 1.-THE ad-
journed term of the SUPERIOR Court
convened here this morning with Judge
Paul r. Seabrook presiding. Judge T.
A. Parker of the Brunswick Circuit,
had agreed to exchange courts with
Judge B. D. Evans, but Judge Parker
was kept at home by illness in his
family. This is the first time Judge
Seabrook has presided in Bulloch. and
he is winning the admiration of the
bar and the citizens by his dignity and
dispatch of business.
The criminal docket was taken up at
o'clock. and the indications are that
court will continue through the week.
To-day and tomorrow will be devoted
to the trial of Jail cases and other Grim
iaals.
After a rest of several weeks cotton
has begun to show up on the market
again. But little has been sold here
since the holidays until this week.
The death of Gen. John B. Gordon
has left sadness with the Confederate
Veterans in this county, for he had
many soldiers in his command from
Bulloch, who loved and revered his
name.
Mr.. Claude c. Lee of Connecticut, IS
here now visiting his mother, Mrs. j..
w Wilson, who is very ill.
The StatesbOro Institute has opened
the spring term with about 200 pupils,
and the prospects are very bright for a
large attendance.

News are asking if that paper cannot
reach here via the freight on the Cen
trail Railway that leaves Dover in the
early morning. That local train being
the night mail from Savannah, and it
is said. that a through freight leaves
Savannah IN the morning in time to
connect at Dover with the Bruton local.
If this can be done the Savannah pa
pers can reach Statesboro and the sta
tons along the 3. and P. Railway
earlier than ever before.
County School Commissioner w. H.
Cone has decided to give up his office
and return to his farm at IVanhoe.
There will be an election for commits
sioners all over the state in February,
and though Mr.. Cones term does not
expire until April, he will retire i'm
mediately after the election. 1t is a
source OF regret by the people of the
county that Mr.. Cone has decided to
not offer for reelection. He has made
an able and popular commissioner and
his place will be hard to fill.
