DIR. BARRETT DEAD.

A Possibility That HIS Murderer May
Never Be Discovered.
GRIFFIN, GA, Jan. 7.-Dr. J. H. NJ. Bar
rett, who was assaulted in his house near
Creswen Sunday night, died from lis inju-
ries at $3.50 o'clock this morning. By his
death. in all probability, the guilty parties
will forever escape detection and punish
ment. The mystery is yelled in as deep
gloom now as when the public was first ac-
quainted with the details of the tragedy
through these dispatches, and now that DR..
Barrett is dead it is hardly probable that
the public will ever be satisfied as TO who
committed the deed, but tomorrow may
tell different tale.

A sCURRILous ATTACK.
The Allianceman Denounces the State
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
ATLANTA, GA, Jan. THE Alliance
man, the new exponent of alliance doctrine,
published here, is out in an editorial to-day
bitterly attacking the supreme court of
Georgia. The article is headed, "Imprison-
ment for debt" referring to the RYAN case.
1t is scandalous article and is denounced
vigorously by all citizens with the slightest
degree of self-respect The editoriali is plen-
tifully sprinkled with the most outrageous
epithets such as ''cranks, ""drunkards, i" etc.
The conclusion of the infamous screed is as
follows: THAT the courts, In reaching out
for power they do not legally have, violate
and trample under foot the organic law of
the state cannot be wondered at, and it
will continue just as long as the judicial
policy of the state is dictated and controlled
by a man whose sanity has long been cues
toned, whose power has been weakened,
and whose mind is clouded by the inordinate
use Of rum, and who is so insauely convinced
of his infallibility that he will participate in
che decision of case whether he has heard
the argument in 1t or not. Our people may
not expect pure and Just administration
of the law until the bench is purified and
cranks and drunkards hurled from its high
est places"
It seems to be the object of the Alliance
man to make the Ryan case an issue in the
next legislative campaign. However, IL there
has been any popular sentiment aroused
heretofore by his case such an uncalled for
attack as the above will effectually squelcb
il, and also the AIltdncemGn
