 eentiy Passed Away.

Eufaula. July 27-(SpeciaI. )-The union memorial services in memory of the late Dr. M. B. Wharton, by the Ministers Union of the city. which was held at the First Methodist Church last night, was one of the most inter- esting and beautifully appropriate events ever held in the city and filled the building to it's capacity with cit- izens of all denominations.
 The exercises were opened Aby the singing of a hymn by the choir, which was followed by a fervent prayer of fered by Rev. D. J Blackwell. and a Scripture reading by Dr. H. q. John son. Mrs, 1T. c. Doughtie then sang with exquisite sweetness a solo of the late pr. Wharton's composition, and Col. G. l.. Conner read a most inter- esting memorial reviewing his splen- did work, not only in this city. but in others as well. and paid a glowing tribtue to his memory, enumerating many of his splendid achievements as an author. poet and theoiogian, and the wonderful work he had accomplished as minister of the Gospel.
 Upon the conclusion of Colonel Co., mer's remarks, an opportunity was af- forded any who might desire to con- tribute short talks, to which Rev. ID. J. Blackwell, Rev. H. T. Johnson. Capt. s. H. Dent. R. Q. Edmonson. E.
 
 brief but appropriate and happy re- sponses. The Rev. Bertram E. Brown then read tha following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted:

That we, the united Christian conRrexatfon of Eufaula do hereby express so far as feeble lan- guage may, our deep and abiding sor- row and sense of loss at the departure from among us of this faithful minister of Jesus Christ. He ever walked among us, as wise and learned and helpful, with love and good will for all. with kindly greeting and cheerful countenance. meeting every one in sweet Christian fellowship, like true servant of the Master as he was, and e true friend and brother of his fellow man. We shall miss him in our daily walks and life. but we bow to our Heavenly Fathers will and trust through Gods mercy in Christ Jesus to meet him hereafter in the Holy City of God.

 Many and beautiful were the tender and touching tributes paid the distin- guIshed dead and the event was most interesting and fitting one.

HuEhes that unless the objectionable features of the ferry were removed by him within "a short period his charter would be revoked.
 A demurrage claim of the Western Naflroad for fifteen cars of gravel. kRpsigned to Perry\and Slough, con sfActors. was provocative of a lengthy
 ussion. The county engineer eFned that he had not been properly lied of the arrival of the cars and Mt. Stough contended that the county had received adequate notification re- questing that they pay the. demurrage Amounting to 3I50. The matter wa threshed over for a period of an hour and the county finally agreed to pay the claim, with the provision that the question of responsibility for the de- murrage be settled by a committee of three uninterested people. one of whom should be chosen by the board, one by the firm of Perry and Slough.

had let it be known that he was going
to reverse himself on that matter of the

off the field?
AS to Joe Brown, HE has no consun1-
ing ambition to go to the y. S. Senate,
nor to be named as Vice-President on
the national Democratic ticket; conse-
quent1y, it would not interfere with any
Of HIS selfish plans if the State of
Georgia should cast her electoral vote for
a native Georgian. Joe Brown, native
Georgian, would probably not consider
the state disgraced by complimenting
Mr.. Watson. Hoke Smith, ex-member
Of C1eveland's cabinet, not native Geor-
gian, would probably feel that he should
resort to every possible stratagem to hold
the state in her place as political Rot
ten borough,-the pawn to be moved as
Tammany and Wall Street will it in the
great game of national politics.
Our friends throughout the state will
find much food for serious thought in this
suggestion.
Some of the Hoke Smith shouters
who are pretending to feel alarm for the
Disfranchisement amendment are really
making all that noise for the purpose of
keeping the people from looking at some
thing else,-towlt, the new rule of the
Hoke Smith committee which deprives
minority counties of representation and
which takes away from the small coun-
ties the share of power allotted to them
by our State Constitution.
In other words, the Hoke Smith Com
mittee has amended our Constitution to
suit themselves, and the people are asked
to ratify the outrage by e1ecting Hoke
Smith again.
No wonder these tricksters raise false
alarm over Prohibition and Disfranchise-
ment!
The four big cities of this state were
given, by the Constitution of 1877, twice
as much political power as 20 next larg-
est counties, and three times as much as
all the others.
The trainers of the Constitution debat-
ed the subject thoroughly, and this divis-
ion of power was thought to be the best
that could be made.
So matters stood until we elected Hoke
Smith governor. Apparently he or his
advisers were not satisfied with our Con-
stitution, and wanted to change it. Know
ing that the people of the country coun-
ties would never vote to deprive them
selves of their Constitutional rights, these
city politicians slipped new rule into the
Macon platform, and have thus revolu-
tionized our system. Instead of having

TON, the success Of Smith in this race
will be taken to be a ratification of the

In 1860, all the candidates took the
stump, and the great Democratic Party
was talked into chaotic confusion. Lin
coin, the minority candidate, slipped into
the White House. If somebody could
have muzzled Yancey and Douglas and
Toombs, while the management of the
party was confided to Council composed
of such men as Alexander II. Stephens,
Robert M. 7. Hunter, ex-President Tyler,
and Judah P. Benjamin, a Democratic
President would have been elected and
there would have been no Civil War. The
slavery question would have been settled
without bloodshed, just as it was settled
in every other land where it existed.
An almost ta1ked-to-death Irishman
once cried out, in his agony, "Oratory
is the curse of Ire1andp'
It is certain that Oratory was Our bane
in 1859 and 1860.
After the War, the most successful can
didates for the Presidency have been the
men who put forth their principles in
writing and kept off the stump.
Gen. Grant made no speeches, nor did
Tilden-and Tilden was just as certainly
elected as was Grant. Cleveland put forth
written statements, only, while Blaine, his
opponent, made brilliant oratory so COM
mon that it ceased to dazzle. Harrison
made speeches,-and was, in his turn,
beaten by the silent Cleveland.
Mckinley stood on his front veranda
and read few well-chosen words to ex-
cursion crowds that were hauled in on
the trains; while Bryan stormed the
American world with his oratory and
talked his chances away. Had he been
able to hold his chain long enough to
comprehend that his one hope was to
solidify the Populist vote and thus
carry doubtful states, he would have been
elected. But he talked so much that he
had no time for study, and thus he swap
ped fatuous ovations in the East for cleo
toral votes in the West
In 1904 Roosevelt made no speeches,
while Parker did. Result: Parker had
to copy that telegram of congratulations
which Bryan sent to Mckinley and pass
it on to Theodore.
Doesn't the review of the record show
that it is at least doubtful whether the
candidate gains votes by making
speeches?

IMPORTANT SALOON RULING
Judge Kennedy Decides CopRrtnershiD
Cannot Run or License to
One of Firm.

In a decision OF wide Importance in the
Interpretation of the law relating to liquor
licenses, Judge Kennedy Thursday morning
held that a copartnership cannot run a
saloon on a license issued to one OF the
partners.
He therefore refused to appoint a re-
ceiver for a saloon owned in partnership by
Hugo Bile and Matt Schneckenberger.
Bilz asked for the receiver. asserting
SShneckenberger was running II for the two
OF them but was not paying the bills and
refused to account to him for the profits
in which he was entitled to share.
In refusing to appoint the receiver Judge
Kennedy held the operation OF the saloon
by the partnership on a license taken out
in the name OF schneckenberger was IL
legal and an equity court could not be
asked TO protect a partner in an unlawful
business. He held the license should con-
tain the names Of all the partners who
profit in the operation OF the saloon.
Upon the refusal OF the court to appoint
a receiver Biz applied for an injunction
to prevent schneckenberger from disposlng
OF the property. but Judge Kennedy refused
to issue the injunction on the same
grounds.
The decision is in line with Judge Ken
nsdy's decision in the Krug park case over
a month ago IN which he held a corporation
could not hold a liquor license. That
question is now before the supreme court
in another case and the decision announced
Thursday may also be taken to the SUI
prsms court for a final decision.
John o. Yeiser and l. J. Dunn appearing
for schneckenbsrger raised the point that
