on the same matter, Senator Pettigrew

speech made by the Reverend Mf5 5cset

paper Of the 7th; neither am surprised
at his letter which appears in your issue
of July9. In both instances he makes
statensants with regard to TIE Indian
asylum which are absolutely and un-
qualiGe1ly untrue. ...."
He seems to be greatly disturbed
over the expenditure of money for the
care of insane Indians and intimates
that there are but three in the United
States. The reverend gentleman cannot
quote Mr.. Riggs and give that as auth
ority for this false statement, for the
facts are too easy of verifcsbion to make
any such excuse acceptable. He speaks
of rusaing a bill through during the
closing hours Of the legislature, which
is also untrue, and the facts could have
been secured by consulting:a Congress
ional Record. A person who believes
that he is morally and intellectually
fitted to be a teacher OF ethics, an ex-
FOUNDER of a course of conduct to be
adopted and pursued by other men,
should take great care that he never
utters q falsehood, either On his own
authority or that of some one else. Mr..
Scott undertakes to prove that there are
only three insane Indians in the United
States by a remark made by the Rever-
end Mr.. Riggs, but he cites no asathority

These are the facts. Over two !

here were two insane Indians upon his

insane Indians are there on your reser-

came up in the senate on March Is

RAISES SOME
 MISUNDERSTANDING Whether Signer of a Waive Note
 Can Go Into Bankruptcy. TURNER DECIDES THEY CAN
Underwood's Bill Brought Decision from Congressional Judiciary Con- mittee That They Could Not
 Do So Under Law.

There has been one point in the national bankruptcy law which has been the cause of great deal of misunderstanding and contention in Birmingham since 1t went into effect last August. The point at issue is, whether a man who gives a promissory note, waiving all exemptions which he could otherwise claim under the state law, can afterward go into bank ruptcy under the national law and claim exemptions.
 Referee Turner of this city has held that even if man had given a waive note, that he could afterward claim exemptions under the national law Quite a number of the lawyers of the city have expressed the opinion that Judge Turner is wrong in his ruling, but as there has been no decision on the question by the supreme court of the United States his rulings must stand until a decision is rendered.
 In order to find out the sentiment of con- gress on this point, Representative Under- wood, of this district, recently introduced a bill in the house, which would clear up be- yond all question the disputed point. The bill was referred to the judiciary commit tee, and after due consideration of the bill every member of the committee decided that the law was already unmistakable, that a man giving waive note could afterward claim exemption under bankruptcy law. They, therefore, repor adversely on the bill, saying that its ps age would be useless.
 While the supreme court will have to pass on the question before it Is finally settled, the opinion of the judiciary committee of the house, composed of some of the best lawyers in the country, may be taken as a good indication of the way the question will be finally decided.

THREE-CORNERED DUEL.
Two Men Dead and One Mortally
 Wounded Was Result.

Lulu, Miss, December 31-Two men dead and one mortally wounded is the result of three-cornered duel fought on the cotton platform at this place at o'clock this afternoon. The participants were Richard Harman, J. E. Kennedy and T. Grady. It is not known how the trouble started, as all were on the platform attending to some cotton, and only the three men were pres- ent. It appears that the shooting began between Harman and Kennedy. Harman fired five shots, two of which struck Ken nedy and one wounded Grady. Kennedy shot Harmon twice and both men fell about the same time and died in few minutes Grady was struck in the left lung and is not expected to live He was taken to Memphis for hospital treatment on this evening s train. It is not believed that Grady did any shooting, as his pistol had no empty chambers when taken from him. All the parties were unmarried. Harmon was a planter, who came here from Batesville about a year ago. Kennedy was a veteran union soldier of the civil war and enlisted in the Second Mississippi regiment of vol unteers in the late war with Spain. and had been mustered out only about a week. Grady was salesman in the store of N. R. Sledge & O.. and very popular young man.
