Therefore, Be it resolved, that we ex-
press our earnest belief in the necessity
FOR national legislation on this question,
and respectfully urge upon our representa-
lives in Congress that immediate and fav-
orable action be taken upon this measure,
which has our unqualified Endorsement as
being in the interest of the general public
as well as the transportation lines.

and he said his main object was to arouse
some discussion of the society's finances.
The motion was put upon the second sec
ton of Dr. Nunn's resolution, which pro-
vides that the president and two vice
presidents shall be constituted a commit
tee to secure subscriptions to aid the so
ciety in its present distress, and this mo-
ton was carried, there being no vote
against it.
Col. John Screven. in the absence of Gen.
Jackson, made presentation
to the society of two old
swords, revolutionary relics, which were
worn by Capt. Jacob Read an ancestor
of DR.. James B. Read by whom the
swords were given to the society. Capt.
Read was a student in London at the out
break of the revolution, but hurried home
to Georgia, his native state, and raised a
company of soldiers. He was engaged in
campaigns in South Carolina and Georgia
and was captured twice in Charleston. The
last time he was sent to st. Augustine,
where he was kept until the close of the
war in 1882. The society, after Col.
Screven concluded his remarks, received
the swords and rendered Dr. Read a vote
of thanks
Notices of several proposed changes in
the constitution, upon which resolutions
will be introduced at the next annual
meeting, were given by DR..
Num- and Capt Cunningham.
one of these proposes to provide
for classification of members so that the
dues shall be $40, s. and 81 80 year instead
of So in all cases as they are now, and an
other proposes change so that the con-
stitution may be amended at regular
monthly meetings instead of at annual
meetings alone.
Dr. Eben Hlllyer Of North Georgia, just
elected a member of the society, gave an
interesting talk, upon historical line, and
thanked the members for the honor that
had been conferred upon him.

HELD UP HIS cows.
Tom Hunts Trouble with william
Mitchell.


Justice Bevans tried a rather unusual
bail in trover case yesterday. William
Mitchell, colored, who lives on the Water s
road near Anderson street, took charge of
two cows that trespassed on his place and
declined TO surrender them until the own
er, Tom Blunt paid certain damages the
cattle did to Mitchells garden.
1t appeared that the cattle got into
Mitchell's lot Friday and he placed them in
his barn as security for a quantity of cab
bage and turnips they destroyed. Notice
was given Blunt that the cattle were held
and that an amount named must be paid
before getting them. Blunt did not wish
to do this, it seems, and proceeded by bail
in trover to recover the cattle. Officer
Murphy levied on them. The question be-
fore the justice was as to Mitchelrs claim
for damages.

There May Be Trouble.

Charles Evans Holt says the law must
be enforced ia regard to Sunday closing;
the Civic Temperance Cooperation is
unanimously with him; the chief of
police is quoted as saying there may be
trouble, and a body of business men
have had conference in Luther Men
denhaasa,a Office to discuss opposition to
this pei cious activity.
Mr.. aI1olt brought a series of COM
plants before the assistant city attor-
ney Tuesday. He said that several
saloons were running without license.
Their money is on deposit with their
application for new licenses 1t has
been customary in such cases without
warrant Of law to let them keep open
It'll the license was issued or refused.
Attorney Spencer is said to be puzzled
not knowing whether the law should be
enforced or not.
Mr.. Holt has complaint in one case
that saloon was open during the for
bidden hours. AS there is probably not
one saloon in town that has not violated
the closing laws Mr.. Hollis complaint
may have good foundation, though it is
not so certain that he has good evidence.
Attorney Spencer will consider that
carefully as he does not wish to prose-
cute unless successfully.
Mr.. Holt also accuses policeman OF
being intoxicated and sleeping it off in
hack. The policeman admits that he
was asleep in hack but denies that he
was intoxicated and says he was off
duty and had right to be asleep in the
hack. That is matter for the police
authorities to hear and determine.
incidentally Mr.. Holt, the mayor and
the~chief of police had a conference in
the attorneys Office, in which they did
not agree very we'll. The chief takes it
i'll that Mr.. Holt should interfere with
| his jurisdiction and Mr.. Holt criticises
the chief and the mayor for laxity in
these matters.
About the same time the other confer.
ence was held in Mr., Mendenhall's office
It's memb bers are rather shy of publicity
and did not even care to say who were
their committee to wait on the mayor
Their decision was that it would be
hurtful to the city to enforce the laws
and that committee of seven shoule
set this view vigorously before the
mayor.

Mr.. Johanson went over the White

hearing the Alaskan country discussed
in public way by anybody so qualified
to speak of it as Mr.. Johanson. To the
many that are interested in the char

will be most reliable and Instructive; to
everybody it will 90 attractive in it's
story of adventure and it's recounting of
the incidents of the great exodus of
1897 into the northern Eldorado.
A feature of the lecture will be it's

veloped from pictures that Mr.. Johan-
son himself took on the trip. The
lecture will be delivered in the Lyceum
