Galveston, Tex, Nov, 24.-tSpecial. J
The cotton exchange, schools and
public offices, and virtually all business
OF commercial character, was suspend
ed. Thanksgiving services were held
in many of the churches In the morn
ing. There were revivallsts holding
forth in the First Baptist church,
where Rev. Stewart preached an able
and appropriate sermon, followed by
Sam Jones in one OF his characteristic
talks.
This afternoon services were held for
the children at the tabernacle and MIR.
Stewart talked to the little folks in n
feeling and eloquent manner. At the
conclusion OF his discourse many OF
them came forward and gave him their
hands as a pledge that they would try
to lead Christian lives.
Tonight Sam Jones preached to men
only AT the tabernacle. Fully 5000
were present, and as he said last night
ne would make the fur fly, and this he
did most effectively, and In doing this
he did not mlnce his words or consider
his language, He told them plain
truths In the plainest and most en-,
phatic terms aud made such powerful
Impression upon his vast audience that
at It's close. in responce to his lmpas-
stoned appeal for them TO turn from
tile evil OF their ways, fully two-thirds
OF the vast audience arose TO their feet
and thus expressed their determination
10 turn over new leaf and lead better
and purer lives. The great reviyalist
was at his best, and men who sooiied
al his efforts when he first came, lett
his meeting tonight, his friends and
supporters.

America is the only nation that could

nations try it and the day instead Of

they pray for Just what the United

HOME OF THE VETERANS.
ITS ACCEPTANCE By TIE STATE
TO BE LEFT TO TIE PEOPLE.

The Question to Be Voted On at tn q
Election In Januery-The Bill Put
Through the House In This Shape
After Three Hours of Debate.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 6.-Georgia will &C
cept the soldiers home and the old vete-
rams will have place Of shelter provided
the voters OF the state ratify the act at the
county elections next month. Such was
the shape in which the bill passed the House
this morning after three hours of bursts Of
eloquence from friends and foes OF the
measure.
w hen the House convened the galleries
were packed with spectators anxious to see
Wharf.-The Lawmakers intended doing with
the vexed question. Ladies were out in
large numbers. Mr.. Allan Of Upson
opened the argument against the bill and
for an hour he held the floor. One moment
be declared that the state bad no legal right
to accept. and the next appealed to the
members not to make paupers OF Georgis's
heroic old sons.
MIR. Morton of Clarke answered Mr..
Allan in a brief, bright speech which won
applause from the gallery.
MERsHON MAKES FINE SPEECH.
But the speech Of speeches on the sub
Ject came from Mr.. Mershon of Glynn. 1t
was said by old members of the House TO be
one OF the finest efforts delivered on the
floor of the Georgia legislature in years. II
am an old confederate" said he, "but ask
nothing from Georgia which she may desire
to bestow in a spirit Of pity. 1t wasn't pity
which urged us TO defend our state when
she needed US, but patriotism. and l say if
the Georgians of to-day are not patriotic
enough TO recognize their duty 20 care for
the old soldiers, give us nothing. We are
not asking aims. We are asking apprecla-
ton.
SAVED THE SOUTH.
"Who rehabilitated the south after the
war and struck from her throat the clutches
of carpet-bsggers If not the confederate
veterans? and then tell me If they should
only be treated with pity and not recog-
nized as q matter of duty Judge Mershon
paid beautiful tribute TO Henry Grady,
and hoped God had given him a seat near
his throne for his love to the old oonfeder-
ates, and asked God to bless Atlanta for her
part In providing q home for the old sol
diers These remarks brought such ap-
plause from the gallery that the speaker
was compelled TO threaten enforcement of
the rule clearing them.
TO BE SUBMITTED TO A VOTE.
Mr.. Hill of Meriwether then offered an
amendment to accept the home provided
the voters would ratify it at the approach
Ing county elections, and Mr.. Allan moved
TO amend this by STIMULATING that only ex.
confederates be allowed to vote on the
question. but the absurdity of this last
proposition was even too much for the
strongest opponents Of the bill and It was
promptly voted down.
Mr.. Wheeler Of Walker better known as
previous question" moved indefinite post
ponement and called for the yeas and nays
The result was yeas AZ. nays 123. He then
demanded the yeas and nays on the bill as
amended by Mr.. Hill and the result was
yeas 1913. nays 43.
Mr.. Fleming of Richmond, father Of the
bill is jubilant as he feels positive that the
people will vote to accept the soldiers home.

a sLAUGaTRR OF SNAKES.
A Mother and Many Small Ones Killed
in Bryan County.

n 6u0 On65 hl4leQ
in Bryan County.
PEMBROKE, GA. Dec. Sit is not gen.
orally known how many young ones are
born from q rattlesnake as they are most
of the time either hidden In hole
or swallowed by the mother RATHER in
emergencies, but it is known that sixteen
rattlesnakes, each about three feet long, and
bhe mother eight feet long, we're killed to-
gether yesterday. The slaughtering was
done four miles from this place near the
turpentine still Of J. A. Richardson & Bro
and also near the CRnouchee river swamp
About week ago j. A. Richardson and a
negro named Israel Kellar we're walking
through the woods and saw the large snake
described: so hideous did it appear that
they dared not attack it without shotgun,
which MIR. Richardson FASTENED to get,
leaving the negro to watch the snake, but
il soon craWled TO a gopher hole and disap-
peared. With long shovel they removed
the earth carefully for three or four feet
down but failed TO reach the monster The
sun was setting and they abandoned the
hunt until yesterday morning when a second
search was made 1t had come out and "a
trail led them 60 another hole a few rods
away, where it was found glittering in the
sun and killed. Down the mouth Of the
hole others were seen in a working mass
and by tying the dead snake TO a pole and
drawing IL across the mole they slowly
crawled out and were killed also.
The mother snake was % years old,
probably the oldest RATHER ever found
in this county. It's belly was fully four
inches In diameter aud the scales were
as large as a tablespoon and the young ones
were nearly 2years old. Forty-four rattIes
were cut from the tails of the pile and are
now in the possession of Mr.. Richardson,
who is a reliable gentleman. and testihes
that this statement is true and can be
proven to any one who wishes to see them.
