TO ABOLISH DAYS OF GRACE.
A Petition TO BE Presented to the
Legislature.

Legislature.
A petition is being circulated among
bank men. merchants and business men
generally asking the legislature to abolish
the three days OF grace now allowed on
all commercial paper
The petition has already been largely
signed and viii be presented to the Chat
ham delegation and the senator from this
district before the next session.
The days of grace have been abolished
In many states, but the law still exists in
Georgia.
THE law is a useless one" the petition
states "as all interest calculations are
made on full time, including the three days
allowed. Nearly all OF the states with
which we do business have abolished this
ancient usage, and Georgia will soon be
left alone with troublesome, inconveni-
ent and useless mercantile custom, the
necessity for which has long since passed
away"

JAPAN,s COMING NAVY.
In . Few Years She Expects TO Have . Very
Formidable Fleet.

Special Cable Dsspateh to TIE SUI.
LONDON, Oct. 2.-The Liverpool Journal Of
Commerce says that arrangements are expected
to be completed by the end Of the month for
placing In England considerable orders in con-
nection with Japanese naval developments. The
orders in question will. In the first place. be for
iron and steel material and ship plates to be
used on vessels which are either to be repaired
and thoroughly modernized or built in Japanese
waters. 1t is computed that during the next
eight years the total outlay by japan on account
OF naval developments will not be less than
$l25. 0OO, 0oO, but this will include a consider
able sum for heavy ordnance. machine guns
and undermining the older vessels.
BY the end of 1904 the Japanese Government
hopes to have six Hrst.classb attleShips Of 1910
to 1920 tons, three second-class battleships,
six frst.class, nine second-class. and sevcn third.
class fast armored cruisers, five torpedo gun.
boats, three torpedo depot ships; fifteen torpedo
boat destroyers, with speeds ranging to thirty
three knots; l25 torpedo boats. and twenty.
nine gunboats and lighting sloops.
Japan. according to the same authority. has
recently formed the intention to contract for n
large supply Of swords. naval cutlasses, and bay.
onets TO replace obsolete arms, but, mournfully
adds the Journal Of Commerce. "In anticipa-
tion of securing these contracts an American
house has made certain offers, which are under
stood to be of such a favorable character that
they are likely to be accepted"

DALLAS, Tex, Oct. CIV. c. Brann, editor
and publisher of RroRn'S IcOnociuSt, was kid
mapped from his Office at Waco, Tex. about q
o'clock this evening by n band of students from
the Baylor University, tho State Baptist co.
educational institution. The invaders presented
pistols at Brann's head, taking him totally una

to the college campus. Io was driven there in
a carriage. There n paper was read TO him EN-.
bodying a rctravtion of the many severe criti.
cisms he has printed on tho institution, mem.
bcrs OF Its faculty and promoters.
Tho alternative of refusal was TO be a coat OF
tar and feathers and perhaps death. A rope
was ready for him. Under this pressure
Drann signed the paper, Then he was
set ut liberty and ,wcnty.four hours

county and a posse OF deputies appeared on the
scene, and the students and their friends soon
dispersed.

the IconocIaSt and was soon surrounded by a
large crowd OF friends. who declared their will.

which he used more severe terms on Baylor
University and its general personnel. male and
female, than anything he has printed concern
ing the Institution. lIc declared lie was now

mics, and that he would not leave Waco; that

he acknowledged himself n liar, n slandercr, AMI

Special Cable Despatch to THE Sun.
LONDON, Oct. 2.-Gen. Baraticri. the italian
commander who was 30 badly beaten by tho
Abyssinians. has published q book. In accord
ance with a threat made nearly a year ago.
Contrary to the general expectation, there arc
not many sensational revelations. which had
been confidently promised, and 1t looks as
though the publication would not give rise to a
solitary duel. This has greatly disappointed
the people of Rome, who are inclined 10 think
that the summaries of the contents published
in The newspapers OF Rome must be imperfect.
The book contains 500 pages. 1t 10 plausibly
urged that a man unaccustomcd to writing and
dealing with q strongly controversial subject
could not possibly avoid libelling somebody.
The author repeats his time-worn complaints
OF abominab!e treatment by the Government.
who never would send him the enforcement
demanded: and he accuses Schor Crispi and
other members of the Government OF that day
OF melting him TO manufacture bogus victories.
an exhoftation which one would have thought
10 DO wholly superhuous when one recalls the
character OF Gen. Baratieri's dispatches
throughout his disastrous campaign.
