Court yesterday on two charges of assault
and battery. He was found guilty in both
cases.
For the assault upon Mrs. Bailey, Judge
Norwood imposed a fine of $500, or twelve
months on the gang, and for the assault
upon the boy $40 or three months on the
gang. In passing sentence upon Quarter
man, Judge Norwood told him that he
might have been reared with the idea that
he could treat white people as he pleased,
but he would show him that he could not
do so with impunity. Quarterman is now
serving sixty-day sentence on the chain
gang imposed by Recorder Hartridge for
the two assaults committed upon
Mrs. Bailey and her son. When
he completes this sentence he
will begin upon the fifteen months given

Among the army officers in attendance
upon the court-martial of Capt. o. M. Car
ter is Capt. Samuel NJ. Mills, Second Ar
tillery.
Early in the '7Os the genial captain was
detailed at West Point as quartermaster
and commissary of cadets. In this capac-
ity the superintendent of the cadet mess
fell to his lot and right nobly did he dis
charge his duty. From bare pine tables.
three-tined forks and iron knives he
evolved the modern Grant Hall, superb
in its equipment and cuisine
For all these improvements the cadets
were, and are still, duly grateful and bear
the captain in fond remembrance. Among
other changes in the fare was the substi-
tuition of New Orleans molasses for the
old black variety known as treacle. The
young disciples of Mars in their gratitude
named the saccharine fluid Sammy"

ON THE BIRTHDAY OF GEORGIA.
Historical society's Annual Meeting
Usually Held Then.


The annual meeting of the Georgia His
torical Society will take place next Mon
day night.
The constitution Of the society fixes Feb
u, the anniversary of the landing Of
Oglethorpe on the bluff of Yamacraw in
1888, as the date for the annual meetings
II is provided, however, that, in the event
OF Feb 70 falling upon Saturday or sun
z day the meeting shall be held on the fol-
lowing Monday. This year the Itch falls
on Saturday, so that il was necessary to
accord with the constitution, for the meet
ing to the held on Monday.
1t is probable that the Board of Educa-
ton will meet an hour earlier than usual
on the same night The second Monday
night of each month is the time for the
regular monthly meetings of the board to
be held. The fact that most of the men,
beers Of the board are also men,
bers of the Historical Society will proba-
bly, cause the meeting TO be held at z
o'clock. The business of the board, of
which II is not expected there will be very
much at this meeting. can thus be trans
acted IN sufficient time TO allow the mem
beers TO attend the meeting of the Historl-
cal Society.
