Will Constitution be Submitted to Vote


Should the Constitutional Conven-
tion SO determine, it can adopt new
Constitution, take recess. submit it
to the voters, and if it fails of ratifica-
tion before the people, the convention
can re assemble, amend the Constitu-
tion it has adopted and promulgate 1t
as the Constitution, and no law in the
land will decide otherwise
That is the opinion of several OF the
leading men in the body, who quote
the decision In Kentucky, which State
adopted new Constitution, submit
ted it to the voters, it was approved,
and the convention reassembled and
then amended the Constitution which
the voters had approved. A railroad
company appealed the case and took
the matter before the Supreme Court,
which unanimously held that the con-
vention was the people and could do
whatever it liked and either submit it
to the voters or promulgate the instru-
ment as the Constitution of the State.
1t is not unlikely that the cOnven-
tiOn will keep the pledge made by the
Democratic convention at Norfolk and
submit the question to the voters
though some of the members think it
would be better to adopt the Constitu.
tion and then proclaim 1t as the organic
law of the State, thus removing it en-.

Found $4,000 in Gold.

A special from Statesboro, Ga, to
the Morning News says:
"W. W. Brannen, of this place, is
$50, 900 better off to-day than he was
two days ago. He is farmer. Some
months ago he was in Savannah, and
out of curiosity visited clairvoyant
and had his fortune told. The fort
une-teller informed him with much
lmpressiveness that he would shortly
discover gold on his farm. He laughed
at the idea.
"Later he dreamed about the gold
for several nights, and after a time
consented to allow a hypnOtist to put
one of his small children, girl of
tender years, under his spell. The
child described pot OF gold at the end
of an old mill dam. Mr.. Brannen
then began to dig and at the end of
three weeks had an excavation big en-
ough for the foundation of a modern
hotel. Yesterday morning he struck
an old iron pot. On uncovering it he
found it contained about $4,000 in
gold coins of dates anterior to the
civil war. There is no Indication of
the person who buried it."

AMERICAN HEROISM IN CHINA.
Titus Describes His Remarkable Exploit
on Walls of Pekin.

| Calvin Titus says that the most mag
nificent exhibition of nerve he saw dur
ing the Chinese troubles was by some
American infantrymen. One afternoon
on the march to Pekin some of the
thirsty soldiers saw we'll off to one
side Of the line. They struggled along
toward it, but as each man approached
he was shot down by concealed CHI
nese sharpshooters, until five were
either dead or badly wounded. Still
the men pressed on toward the well in
| apparent Indifference to the bullets of
the sharpshOOter, and with increased
determination to get water for them
selves and comrades. Finally the
| sharpshooter was discovered and killed
t'by one Of them.
To the Newton Republican Mr..
Titus has told In modest manner how
1t happened that he was first to scale
the Pekin wall. We quote from the
Republicans article as follows:
~'The officers, in little group by
themselves, were discussing the posi-
bility of scaling the wall. Titus, act
Ing as orderly for one them, was stand
ing near, and he asked for permission
to make the attempt. Colonel Dag
gett eyed him closely and asked if he
thought he could do it. Titus replied
that he would like to try. The Colo
mel told him he might make the attempt
il he wished. Throwing aside his rifle.
Titus advanced to the wall. Dirt had
bsen thrown up from a road close to
the wall and had been piled against it,
This shortened the distance to the top
of the wall to 25 feet. The wall was
made of large bricks, and the ascent
was made by digging the hands and
feet into the crevices where the mortar
had fallen out. The deed was fraught
with extreme peril, there being con-
stant danger of mlsstep. a loose brick |
and fall to the ground below. Chi
nese soldiers might open fire on him
from above at any minute. and it SEEM
ed very probable that he would reach (
the top only to be made prisoner by |
the Chinese there. His comrades below |
watched him with breathless interest, |
little thinking that a deed was being
performed which would be heralded |
the length and breadth of |
the country. The top was reached and |
the young hero found himself on the |
enemy's fortifications-the first for
eigner on the walls of Pekin since the
trouble began. A reconnaissance re-
vealed to him that the Chinese were
farther down the wall and We're busy
pouring down leaden hall on troops to
the right. Titus, who was not seen by
The enemy, called to the men below
that all was right and the adjutant
climbed up the wall. A string was let
1own and rifle hauled up with it, to
De used for defensive purposes, if nec-
,ssary. Others followed the example
let, and soon goodly number had gain
ID the top of the wall.''
