entered the cane brake and began beating
up the quarry.
Mouitrie was found, lying down in an
especially thick bunch of cane. He had
come TO realize that he was surrounded
ana that escape was impossible. and gave
himsC-4. up readily enough. The brother
OF Williams ANA some of his more exctt-
abe friends wanted to wreak summary
vengeance upon his slayer, but they were
restrained by the officers, and the man
was brought to the city and locked IN in
the station house. Jernigan was almost
exhausted by the severity of the chase
and his uniform was torn to tatters from
the struggle through the dense cane
brake.
Moultrie said to the officers that he had
Killed Williams in self-defense He claim
ed that the man had come into the room
IN which ne was with the woman and adj
vanced upon him with an open knife in
ms hand. lie was afraid for his life and
mad shot to save it. The woman. Stella
Williams, who was arrested some time
afterwards as an accessory to the crime,
tells substantially the same story Her ac-
count IS varied by an eXplana ton more
or less plausible, Of why Williams had
made the attempt to enter the house She
repudiated the story about his desire to
see his child and said that of late he had
been DESTROYS of renewing his old rela-
tons with her, and has been most in
sistent in his demands mat he should be
permitted to do so. she had warned him
several times 70 keep away from her and
the warnings had been repeated and en-
phasized by Moultrie. When he came into
the house she thought it was with the
intention of assaulting either her or the
man with whom she was living and was
not surprised to see him draw a knife
and advance upon the latter Moultrie
shot, she says, only to save his life
The statements of these two are not
borne out by the physical facts of the
case. A knife was found upon Williams
dead body, but it was closed and in his
pocket. No other weapon of any kind
was about the place and il is not probable
that either the man or the woman who
have been arrested would destroy the
proof of the truth of their story. The
fact that Williams wanted TO get his boy
is vouched for by several witnesses. The
coroner will hold an inquest to-day.

a negro, James King, was brought into
the city early yesterday morning and de-
livered to the police authorities. on a
charge of criminal assault upon Rebecca
Mclean, a colored woman He was APP
pretended by che husband of his victim.
Daniel Mclean and carried TO the station
house in a wagon. He denied the charge.
The alleged assault occurred on the
Louisville road. about five and a half
miles from The city, Saturday night The
woman claims that she mat King near
her home, and that after some conversa-
ton he made an indecent proposal that
she rejected Without much more ado he
threw her to the ground and accomplished
his purpose.
King does not deny any part of this
story, except that he used force. He
claims that the woman consented readily

only after her husband had detected her
and to save herself from his righteous
wrath
Mclean and his prisoner were accom-
panied TO the barracks by several of his
neighbors, who had assisted in making
the arrest of the alleged violator of his
wife-s honor. The case will be inVesti-
gated this morning by the Recorder. and
perhaps some additional light thrown up
on the circumstances. At present Il is a
pure question of veracity. but is likely to
develop into one of reputati lion; for good
conduct on the part Of the woman, and
for truth and veraeity on the part Of the
man.

FOR MODERN SCHOOL BOOKS.
4 Plea for Text Books That Are Up
to the Times.

to the Times.
Editor Morning News: Savannah has
just cause to be proud of her splendid
public schools The superintendent is
gentleman of broad information, scholarly
attachments and fine executive ability He
has so systematized the administration of
education that the management and discI-
pine can be pointed to with pride. Supt.
Ashmore's efforts are seconded by an ex-
ceedingly able, cultured and jealous corps
of principals and teachers. The care of
these instructors for the welfare and i'm
provement of the minds and characters Of
those entrusted by parents and the pub
lie TO their keeping and teaching is hardly
realized by US.
With all these aids to splendid posi-
bilities it is too bad that their work and
the welfare of the scholars should be han
dicapped by the use of books ten years be-
hind the times. Rapid strides have been
made in recent years in the methods Of
school books, their attractive forms of i'm
parting knowledge and the accuracy of
the knowledge and information taught by
them. The antiquated deductive system
unattractive, tiresome, difficult to the
child and lettering from inspiration to go
onward has been supplanted by the easy
and pleasing inductive method. BY the
latter the mind of the child is gradually
led. 1t is imbued with a desire to pursue
what has been suggested by what these
new books teach
While there may be no royal road to
learning, one cannot help being struck
by the gradual and natural method, and
the keeping parallel with the mental
growth of the learner and at the same
time the cultivation of a love for the
pure and the beautiful and the good. the
direction of the child mind towards the
contemplation of things lovely and inspir-
ing, and away from objects that
are gross ana commonplace This
new system aims so to direct the
mind that even after the public schools
have been finished the former scholars
can intelligently pursue ana develop previ-
Gus work.
This communication is written not in the
spirit of criticism, rather in commenda-
ton, because the writer has bur recently
learned that il is proposed TO change to
modern books, that the Board of Educa-
lion and the superin tendent are now con-
sidering the matter and that the principals
have recommended the change. Certain
ii is that the public win applaud this
opening of a new era in school life There
need be no fear of lack of approval be-
cause each home will feel the improve
ment. 1t is a matter of congratulation
that this change can be made so that the
new books will actually cost less than the
old books now cost. Then let the change be
sweeping, adopting every new book which
is recommended by a consensus of opin-
ion of the principals In this matter we
should have no halfway. When this is
done and the good is felt, all parents and
the public generally viii have no fault
to find with the most vital institution OF
our city on public schools. Grapheus.
