Wayne county and control the county
convention. May 15," says Charles S.
Hampton. There will be a Bryan
delegate running in every precinct.
and the Democrats OF the county are
for Bryan"
| The determination TO make a fight
In this county was first given Official
sanction in a meeting Wednesday
night, although II has been expected
ever since the formation OF the Wayne
County Democratic club that Daniel
j. Campau would not give up without
struggle.
II the Campau-Bryan men feel that
they do not get square deal In the
caucuses. thsy may hold independent
caucuses at the polling booths and
organize a county convention OF their
own, sending contrasting delegation
to the state convention. Then 1t will
be up 20 the other counties OF the
state TO say which delegation repre-
sents the Democracy of Wayne
county.
This fight IS not one against Cam.
pau now. but against Bryan" adds
Mr.. Hampton. Mr.. Campau Is not
candidate for anything. although he
would not refuse to do his party ser
vice In working for a Democratic VIC
tory. and Will, IL Mr.. Bryan Is nomi-
mated, take any part in the fight that
he may be asked TO take"
The conference Wednesday evening
was held in the Campau block and
among the leaders present were G. w.
Moore, president OF the Wayne County
Democratic club; DR.. r. b. Hoyt. JOS

tempted this time, there will be trou-
BILE, however, and a likelihood of two
conventions.
More than half the places on the
ward committees will have to be fill

Democratic city committee. The list
Is being made out now, and we find
that in a majority OF the precincts the
Democrats did not select any COM
mitteemen in 1906. The city commit
tee will fll all these places.
THE ward committeeman will have
absolute charge In the precincts. The
credentials signed by them will be
recognized. understand that the
booths will be kept open the full time
required by law, but ! do not know
how long that Is, as the law is an
old one and we have not had time to

1t is believed that Judge W. F. Con-
molly and Edwin Henderson will have
the largest say In determining who
shall be appointed to the vacancies in

MISSION GROWING.
Increased Interest and Attendance
Great Expectations Prevail.

One of the most remarkable stories OF
astounding heroism that has ever been
related to an Augusta audience was heard
last night at the Green street church as
Evangelist Iofstead described the mar
velous rescue OF II souls from the ILL.,
fated Lady Elgin that went to wreckage
on the shore Of Lake Michigan. He
went on 10 speak OF tie great rescue by
the hero of the ages. Jesus Christ. and
the effect was electric.
Monday evening is generally an "oif
night" so far as gathering 4 public audi
ence is concerned. but the rule did not
hold last night in the Hofstead revival
meetings in the Methodist church. The
audience completely filled the room ana
the enthusiasm was n surprise to those
who think and sometimes say i don't be-
liere in special evangcliStic services"
But this number is very limited i'll these
days when the Congregational church

produced Il Chapman, and the Methodist
church q Smith. In fact, all denomina-
tions are uniting in this great forward
movement in the field Of evangelism.

church. Just as a marvellous religious
awakening swept over the country in 81
preparing us for the trying times of tho
Civil War, so today God is manifest1ng
his grace and men and women are SEEK
ing his favor, possibly preparing the ma
ton for the readjustment Of commercial,
political and social values. There arc
many who believe that unless the United
States shall receive in a special way the
blessing and help OF Cod this readJust-
ing will be impossible. That this turning
to God is taking place Is evident from
the fact that from all sections of the
country comes the news Of great revival
movements.
Here in Augusta is being manifested
this interest ir an unusual degree. A
large delegation came up from Hallowell
to enjoy the singing and to hear the
preaching Of the evangelist.
The sermon last night dealt with that
wonderful story told by Jesus Of MAJ
areth in the long ago, 1.-The Prodigal
Son" Around this story has been gath
cred the hest thought of all the years in
song, art, oratory and romance. 1t Is
the age old story of human folly, sin.
shame, repentance and pardon. Last night
this story took on new meaning and sig
nificance as Evangelist Hofstead paint
ed the terrible curse of all sin and it's de.
structive force in the soul of man His
appeal to forsake sin was an appeal to
honor. justice and love.
Today at P. NJ Mr.. HofStead VIII

The claim CT the plaintiff in the case
mentioned is that defendant purchased

opening that the hog was loaded on q
wagon at his farm in Vassalhoro by
means of a block and tackle, Il horse
furnishing the motive power. The rope
was attached to the hind legs Of the
hog and he was pulled onto the wagon
up over some rough planks and was
fastened down to the bottom Of the
wagon. Also that Is other hogs
were loaded in on top of the large
hog and that when the team with
the hogs had arrived at Augusta the

hog, to be delivered back OF Mr.. Par

he did not get any hogs nor did he
pay any money down.
The next day he came with another
man and said, as Sturgis was sick he
would undertake to load the hogs. The
big hog was loaded into a high cart
with 4 pair of blocks, pulled in over
rough planks by horse. The rope was
tied 20 the hogs hind legs. Then he
tied the big hog down and put 10 other
hogs on top of him. Paid for the other
hogs but has never paid for the big
hog. The big hog was hauled back
