there be a considerable decrease in the

mills, as they would have an opportunity to

Macon, Ga, June S.-The brief abstract
Of the remarkable address delivered by
Judge Emory speer yesterday before the
graduating law class OF Mercer university

distinguished jurist today in statement
which will attract wide attention made
clear his position regarding his attitude
toward the negroes as a race in connection
with the outrageous crimes committed by
some OF their number. After referring
to the graduating class OF 1899 as compared
to his own graduation during the civil war
period, he said;

GENERAL wHEELERAc CHRISTIAN
Not Ashamed {" Pray Daily During the
Santiago CAmpaIyu,

General Wheeler is n religious man. He
was brought up In the Episcopal church,
with n great reverence for sncrcd thing
and faith In the efficacy OF PRAYER. One
OF his former secretaries tells the story
that while the general was engaged In Il
canvass Tor Congress some years ago he
spent the night at the plantation Of a
constituent. His host accompanied him to
his room Mt bed time. and bade him good
night. but. being reminded that the gem
eral might want n glass OF cool water be-
fore retiring. he carried IA pitcher to The
room and entered without knocking. He
was surprised to find General Wheeler
upon his knees before the bed engaged
In his dcvotions. He waited revcruntly
until the general arose. and apoiogized
for the interruption.
Don't mention It," said General Wheel
er. Il think all OF US ought to kn,Cl be-
fore we retire. and thank our good Maker
for his mcrcies and blessings"
The members OF General Whceler's stan
say that during the Santiago campaign
ho never lay down to sleep without offer
Ing prayer. and never arose in the morn
Ing without thanking God for his protec-
tion and preservation.
II IL not generally known that General
Wheeler was educated In the North, and
appointed to West Point from the state
OF New York instead of Alabama. Ills
parents died when he was a child OF
years. and he waS sent to the care OF rel
ativ"s at Cheshire Connecticut, where he
spent his bpyhood. His appointment to
West Point was given him by a congress
man OF his own name. John Wheeler for =
merly Of Darby, Connecticut. who, how
ever. represented New York district.
