Athens, Ga. June 1s.-Savannah, uni
versally recognized as the most loyal uni
versity town in the state played promi-
nent part in to-day's exercises. Hon.
Samuel B. Adams, member of the Uni
versity Club of Savannah, made the lit
erary address in the chapel before the
culture and learning of Georgia. His
theme was Conservatism" and it
was handled IN a most logical and
at the same time, eloquent manner. He
dwelt upon the tendency of the age to
scoff at and disregard the past, thus
breaking away from old landmarks and
well established principles The recent
doctrine that ''All things new are true
he believed was being accepted by young
men with too much eagerness. The two
societies will publish his speech for the
alumni Of the university.
The afternoon was devoted to the
Sophomore contest for two medals offered
by the trustees. This is always a most
interesting feature of the commencement,
and a large audience was present. Ed
Ryals, of Savannah, and Holcombe Bacon

FIRED IN SELF DEFENSE.
One Negro Kills Another Who Was
Advancing to Stab Him,

Arlington, Ga, June 1S-Two negroes,
John Johnson and Bob Henry, engaged in
a fracas Saturday, which resulted in the
killing of the latter and the subsequent
trial and acquittal of johnson. The YER
dict of the coroner's jury was justifable
homicide.
The particulars are as follows: Henry
was arraigned before Mayor Cowart some
time during the day upon a charge of
drunkenness and disorderly conduct, in
which Johnson testified against HIM. He
was fined and ordered locked up. He sue
ceeded, however, in giving bond and was
released, and Immediately set out in
search of johnson with knife
and making threats. Meanwhile, johnson
was apprised and procured shotgun,
with which 20 defend himself. Henry
soon found Johnson, and when he started
home followed him. When but a short
distance from the public square Henry
approached Johnson with his knife drawn,
whereupon johnson discharged a load of
buckshot into his breast, killing him
almost instantly. Johnson then returned
and gave himself up to City Marshal
Mcmillan, asking for an immediate trial,
which was granted and resulted as above
stated.

will be big kick unless his removal is
effected. The boys here believe that a

be filled by democrat who always votes
the democratic ticket. The Populists here
are using their influence with Col. Lester,
asking him not to remove the present
postmaster. 1t remains to be seen who
will be victorious. The democrats have
made strong appeal to Congressman
Lester, together with charges preferred

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 19.-Ex-Post-
master General James of New York city
was in the city to-day to file his bond as
receiver of the East Tennessee Land Com
pany. He had long talk with Times
reporter this evening on politics,
in which he said some rather
startling things for a republican.
He said that he is of the opinion that
the Mckinley bill went too far, and that
tariff reform was necessary. He is much
opposed to the Wilson BILL and thinks
that republican victory is sure this fall
in the congressional elections.
He is of the opinion that the republicans
will nominate Robert T. Lincoln for
President in 1896.
AN EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION.
He expressed himself as being heartily

said he, when the qualification of voter
shall be intelligence rather than simply
the fact of being 81 years of age. be-
