"It is this Free Trade cry that is doing it all," wailed Mr. Dodge, nriding: "Tlio workiagmen have not Protection ' i llic brain, and seem to be thoroughly i nivi.Minl that if the Democratic party wins this flirt ion the Mills hill become a law, ninl tlu* llourishinfc industries upon which they rely for bread will be utrieken down.

I would wager if any one took tin' trip I did, and if ho told the truth, he would tell you substantially the same story." As Mr. Crosslcv is a truthful man, the Kepuhliann committee feels justified in fri?|itinj{ his report of what Mr. Dodge Mid to liitu.

The j" candidates in the Held were Mr. Alston ^ (i. Dayton, of Harbour, and Judge J. T. Hoke, of Presion. The canvass by these gentlemen for weeks past hijj been an ^ harnest one, and it was conceded that both would go into the convention finite . evenly divided a? t Tetur, of Harbour, placed in nomination ted Mr. Dayton. ;\V. M. 0. Dawson, of ()0C Preston, nominated Iloke. Stewart dej Heed, of Uarhour, Frank Batten, of laij Randolph, and ShfcrilT Miller, of Tucker, of seconded Dayton's nomination.* N. S. > Davis and Dr. Lanhaui, of Preston, and Qu Isaac Baker, of Randolph, seconded the am nomination of Hoke. I'oi Most of the speakers were young men, Cai who put a surprising amount of vim and eloquence in their speeches. A bal- . lot being ordered, resulted as follows: Dayton 29 42-58; Hoke 3?15-58. Loud calls were made for Mr. Dayton, frai who came forward none the less daunted j bccatwe suffering defeat, and who ine thanked his friends for the efforts made rcti on his behalf. He also took occasion to em remind the good friends of Preston that iIr! it was important that they should rally wj, to the polls at the coming election each uo, Republican voter, and not suffer Judge iov, lloke to bo defeated by their apathy, aw .)0g was some previous Republican candi- 'jjv dates. The reminder seemed to be well .,L,( taken by the Preston delegates. Judge }r0 lloke was then called for. lie thanked on the convention for the high honor con- .Mlj ferred, and. while ho aid uot expect to uoj engage in political speech making this tj1(, campaign, owing to the character of the tjol ollice for which nominated, yet he ler expected to see all the friends he could in the cornties of tho district prior to the November election. It may l?o here remurked that six years ago the 3fo1 counties comprising this judicial circuit gave a considerable Democratic majority, 6 and Judge Ice, of l'hillippi, was elected. Ho Since that time the Republicans have i? steadily gained, until now the district may be corn ted on as safely Republican */' from .r)00 to',000 majority. It is there- 1 rt fore a nomination well worth contesting "ol for by Republicans. iuv riiizcna gi-uvnuiy iuiv uu miuruni. "* iu the contest and many of them were "l? spectators in the convention.

In order to bring the Government of i) Dominion to u just appreciation of d subject, Congress authorized the esident, in the spring of 1887, to adopt, his discretion, a policy of suitable relation, directing, among other things, it whenever and so long as American ssels were deprived of commercial imIiiih>b in tliu iinrla of f!nniiVhy should the railways of the Unil Stiites thnt annually transport $50,l,(KX) of Canadian goods in transit, be irived of their business and endure a i$e loss 011 account of u sudden whim the President?

Jacksonville, Fla., August 20.?Nine new cases of yellow fever were reported to-day. There M ere two deaths, both at St. Luke* Hospital, William Craugh, a fireman from the Central Station who was taken from the street yesterday m an almost dying condition, and Edward W. Dixon, a jeweler, who came .here j from the North an invalid. Two euscs were uucnaiYcu curou. mere nave been on even hundred cases all told. A Wifr MaltlitrfP Sont*nreK I lie Wl'llUIlT Wlin HUVUl* al degrees wanner, all were held spellbound by Small, and, at tiuten duriug Iuh lalk, many could be scon wecpinu as lie related his bitter experience, anil contrasted his life then and the Ufe he was now living. After several songs were sang by the choir Sam Small came upon the stand, and after prayer bv Rev. Dr. Randolph, began the story of his life by wiving tiiat it was said on one occasion that there came into a distant city a stranger that attructcd the notice of idlers, lie came upon a cage of birds, that caused him tfl take pity on them, lie bought one ol the cages, and opening the door it left the cage, and soaring about it caught sight of its mountain home, and uttered a note of praise ami disappeared; so he did, until they had nil gone. . Upon inquiring why he did this, he said lie was once a captive, and he to-day was free, and he took pity upon them and set them at liberty. So to-day, 1 stand before you, once a captive, but now free. To-day 1 am released from a captivity that had bound me for years, ami 1 am now free from a bondage greater than any human slavery on the faee of this globe. A glowing tribute was paid to bis father and mother, who, he said, daily gave him counsel and advice. He left homo and passed through a course of studies and graduated with some honor. He began the practice of InV, with friends by the score, to uieneticial. I wen t abroad and spent some time in Paris, but my recklessness still followed row, ' and 1 wus luin upon a bed of illness. A prominent .doctor gave m6 personal i- attention, but he was frank enough to say that there was nothing known that would relieve me from that appetite. We returned home to Atlanta and I bejjun my course practicing law and editing a newspaper. I would leave my home perfectly sober, tell my wife I'd bo e back in a short time, yet I would wako up in New York, not lcuowing where C was or how I got there. Mywifodhl not know what moment 1 would bit brought home dead, after a night of debauchery and uambling. My children no longer met trie with kisses, but would run und hide themselves from adruukeu father. My wife worn out, went to Judgn Hammond and asked him to make ono more effort to save we. The saloon keepers were warned not to sell me any more liquor, for fear of the penalties of the law. The saloon keepers posted them in their saloons and made them tho subject of jest. They codtinucd to sell to uie, and tho saloon keepers are to-day the Anarchists. They care nothing for ' the law. Tiiey violate tue law in wneei* ' ing every day. They way "if you mako r laws against us wo won't obey and will light the officers." You can'stand iu ( Wheeling and see the law violated every | day. We hud iu Georgia men who weiu ; put there by whisky. Every law I violated in West Virginia is violated by the consent of an officer who is a vaga| bofid or scoundrel. It ib not bo to-day ( in Georgia. Men say, "Small, why are ' you so hard ou them V" 1 suppose in the nature of things J ought to eulogise theiu, call them philanthropists, giving men something to drown their sorrows. Wouldn't that be a lie? When you catch me having any love for a bar keeper, hugging him, then you can say 1 have backslid and am just about at the door of hell, ready to go through in about two minutes. Thseso saloon keepers thought my ' wife was bluffing them, and 1 was a prominent man, and every time she went out into the street she would bo pointed out as the woman who was prosecuting them, and there would be a great scandal an over ueorgia. ene employed a detective to aid her, yet that did not do any good. They continued to sell nje the damnable fitnlT and surreptitiously sent me the liquor for the money that they know I had, anil 1 would give the last copper I had. TIiuh i went on until 1 heard of .Sam Jones preaching at camp meeting in Cartersville, and I took my children and went to the meeting. I had to put my children on the edtfe of the platform and I Bat, down with the newspaper reporters. 1 did not expect to he interested in Jones. I had heard that lie was a kind of mountebank, and that he was a kind of man that said hard things of people, and I thought that 1 did not want to hear him. 1 have found out that the bigger sinner a fel.'ow is the more orthodox ho is on the line of prcaching. I was there as a curiosity seeker, and when he took his text I concluded in about ten minutes there was a man preaching. I found out he was going along my way. lie x had been there. The sermon set lire to the audjeuce and there were scores of penitents Hocked to the altar. 1 sat thorn rwrfectlv Ktolid. I controlled rav? self with a master spirit, and sat there coldly as a marble statute. ] went back home, and 1 never was in such a condition when I got to the depot. I sent my children home and spent the night in gambling and debauch. I was master of the situation. 1 never suflered such a journey in my life. All night and the next day 1 continued, yet the liquor 1 drank never gave me any relief to my brain. About 10 o'clock Tuesday morning I thought probably it might he better for me to take a pistol and end my existence. My wife came after mo and I left the barroom and went home. After I got home the whole of my life was before me. lThe image of my mother came before me in that moment, but 1 thought there was no salvation for me. The days of Grace had been sinned away, and in that condition the words of my mother came back saying "Hope, hope," and I concluded that I would go to Jesus and God for pardon. I went to him, audi wrestled, my brain being on fire, for four long hours, and at hut 1 said, "Here, Lord, I give myself nwav, 'tis all I can do." At once my brain bicame clear. 1 could not understand it. My first thought was I was paralyzed, I began to feel my flesh and tound that ; everything was all right, and I realized : that the Spirit of God had come in, and 1 cried, "1 thank. God I'm saved." I told my wife 1 was saved and was tjoing to make her the best husband and my children the best father the world ever knew. My wife thought I had gone to my room and committed suicide, and when 1 came down stairs and told my wife sbe thought I had gone mad. The children prayed that God make papa a good man. 1 took my children and ! went to a printing house and asked for some curds, having printed on them that I would preach to-night. My wife upon reading tho handbill gave me Mio evidence that she didn't take any stork in my departure. Alter returning homo we had our 1 family altar, and it was the first night for many years that I had any rest. In the morning the strong appetite came hack and burned within me with all the lire of hell. I would not fool with antidotes and 1 went back to the room where I had been the (lay before, and I began talking to God, laying it all before him, stating the situation, what I had promised to do, and how I was blockaded right iu my house, and that he must help me as' no other can. 1 began to plead and beg and the appetite would come back and I was completely exhausted, but 1 determined to stay, and after a while 1 began to feel all'right, and 1 found 1 didn't want any whisky. I thanked God that the appetite was goueaud from then until now 1 have have never had any appetite for whisky. 1 know that God has power to stand a man on his feet; nothing that can drug you down to depredation but what God can heal it all. I am now walking in the light by faith and saved through and through. 1 have given you the tale unvarnished, ami I say to you to-day that the same God is ready aml.able to save you to-day, fully and to the utmost. May God bless you. If you are determined to do better just come down tho aisle and I'll take you by the hand and bid you God speed, ami pray for you There is nothing better than coming out ' ami letting tlie woriu see that wo have 1 determined that God from thiB day shall 1 have our lives, and like a bravo innn, a ' sensible man 1 know my duty and 1 um [ goingtodoit.
