Will we Observe
Decoration Day9

A number of good citizens have
spoken to ye editor about observ-
ing Decoration Day, and we have
spoken to number of others a.
bout the matter, and have been
asked to agitate the question As
'seemeth good" If there is to be
a program there is no time to loose
but meeting should be called and
arrangements made for such exer-
cises as would be creditable and a.
would be,instrvctive to the young.
er people, while acknowledging
that we still remember and appre-
ciate the services of the men, who
periled their lives that this nation
might live.

Inhuman Treatment Of a
sick Man.

One week ago last Saturday
morning man, sick with what
Payette physicians and DIR. Maxey,
the county physician from Cald-
Wen, pronounce a well defined case
Of small pox. was landed at the de-
pot at Payette, stating that Drs.
Smith and Mathews Of Mountain
Home had tended him until about
8 days after the rash had made its
appearance, and that DIR. Smith
and Mathews Of Mountain Home
had tended him until about s days
after the rash had made its appear
ance, and that DR.. Smith told him
he did not have the small pox, but
the people thought he had and
were getting excited, and that he
would buy the sick man a ticket to
Payette and give him a little mon
ey if he would go to that place The
young man consented, though he
says be was feeling very miserable.
and upon reaching Payette, still
fearing that he had the small pox
he built a fire near the depot aud
remained out until morning when
he found a physician who told him
he had the small pox, and took
him to the pest house. Any man
who would treat sick man III
such a manner as that is not lit to
assosiate with his kind, but ought
to be isolated in some way, if the
story told is true. Beyond the fact
Of the almost certainty of spread
ing the disease by riding on the
cars with so many people, sending
this man away to another county
to be cared for, is the inhuman
conduct of this DR.. to be condemn.
ed. No language Will do the case
justice, at all, and the matter should
be thoroughly investigated. These
are the principal facts as told by
the Independent embellished by {
few remarks that could not well BE-
suppressed.

DEGREE OF EDUCATION
TO MAKE NEGRO USEFUL

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Nov. Sat yes
terday's session Of Alabama synod of
the Presbyterian church the question of
negro evangeliZation came up.
Rev W. 4. Atkins, of Selma, took the
position that it was not altogegther wise
to put higher education within the reach
Of the negro as he was essentially a Ia
borer.
Rev L. r. Walker believed that the
people of the north who were giving to
negro education would gradually realize
the kind and amount of education he
should have. e9
The matter of establishing an eduea-
tional institution under the auspices Of
the synods of Alabama and Florida. was
discussed. The committee had reported
that $4,000 would be needed for such
cause and that offers had been received
from Oxford, Camden and Mckinley, all
three points in Alabama. Some OF the
delegates were OF the opinion that several
academies rather than one college should
he established The matter went over
for the time being.
Dr. Lumplxin, secretary Of the general
assemblies board OF ministerial educa-
ton reported a falling of in the appli-
cants for studying for the ministry. there
being but 2s6 candidates this year, as
against 81 the year before and 400 in 1894.
He urged greater interest in this matter.

NO CHANCE FOR
THE HOWARD BILL
SINCE REFUSAL OF HOUSE TO
GIVE INFORMATION SENATE
WILL KILL THE BILL.

1t is believed that the Howard franchise
tax bill is dead.
It is not thought that there Is any
chance for the measure passing the SEN
ate, owing to the debate which occurred
Thursday regarding the senate resolution
asking for transcript of the house jour
nal on the passage of the bill and the re-
quest from the house that such a resolu-.
ton. since II was construed by the house,
as an unintentionsl reflection upon the
dignity Of that body. be withdrawn
Many members Of the senate stated to-
day that while they would have voted for
the bill before any question Of its regular
passage through the house was RAISED,
that since the house has refused to grant
the information desired they do not wish
to vote for the bill and would not do 90.
The entire matter, both the bill and the
resolutions originating In the senate and
the request Of the house for withdrawal,
have been referred TO the general judiciary
committee, OF which Mr.. ]. L. Boynton Is
chairman. Mr.. Boyntof stated Thursday
that he did not know when the mat
ter would be taken up again.
If the bin is reported favorabIy to the
senate from the Judiciary committee 1t is
thought it VIII fail to receive the neces-
sary constitutional majority to make It

TO ABOLISH DIVORCE IN
STATE or GEORGIA
Representative Thomas, Of Pierce, in.
trodueed Sweeping Measure In
the House Saturday.

Perhaps the most interesting bill Of the
session was introduced Saturday by
Representative Thomas. OF Pierce coun-
ty, regarding the divorce law in the state
Of Georgia. The bill is short and to the
point and created considerable commo-
ton in the house when 1t was intro
duced.
Mr.. Thomas had the bill under consid-
Grafton for some time and decided today
that he had better put 1t in IL he desired
the house to take any action on 1t. The
bill provides that hereafter there shall be
no divorce suits filed in Georgia, for any
cause whatsoever. Although very short,
regarding words. 1t is very broad where
unhappy wives and husbands are con-
cerned. The following is the whole bill:
BE it enacted by the general assembly
of Georgia, ano 1t is hereby enacted by au-
thorty OF the same. thai from and after
the passage OF tbs act that there shall
be no more divorce cases in Georgia for
any cause.
''Bt it further enacted that all laws and
parts of laws conflicting herewith be and
the same are hereby repealed.
The bin was referred to the general ju-
dietary committee. Some members of the
house have already expressed themselves
as being against the measure.

TWO MEN FIGHT A
BLOODY STREET DUEL

ADAIRSVILLE, Ca, Nov. s.-Henry
Paris shot and killed Spencer Smith in
this city yesterday afternoon.
IT appears that the two men had been
discussing politics, when Smith, who was
drinking became angry and threatened to
shoot Paris at the same time drawing a
revolver. Paris grabbed him and request
ed A. n. Cox, in whose store the difficulty
took place, to disarm him, which he did.
Smith left the store swearing he would
TX himself and return. He secured pisx
toll and went to his home. Cox followed
him and begged him not to 80 to where
Paris was. and Smith. who was thorough
" enraged, struck Cox several times. and
then Smith and his brother, Robert, re-
turned to Cox's store.
When he saw them approaching, Paris
stepped from the door to the sidewalk
and told Smith to stop or he would shoot
him. This command was repeated several
times. but Smith continued to approach,
with drawn pistol. His brother passed by
where Paris stood and stopped when the
firing began.
1t is not known who fired the first shot.
but Paris emptied his pistol into Spencer
Smith, who fell mortalIy wounded, dying
in a few moments.
When Paris had emptied his pistol, Rob
ert Smith, who was standing about ten
Yards away drew his revolver and att
tempted to shoot Paris, when he sprang
upon him and attempted to wrest che
pistol from his hands. Two shots were
fired by Smith before they were separate
ed but neither took effect.
Paris and Robert Smith were arrested
and Paris was taken to Cartersville,
where court is in session.
