FINE RATHER CAPTURED.
Hut Not without Hot Fight and a
Fatality.

Washington, Ga, Sept. 5.--Mr. John
Perfect, a prominent farmer living a
few miles west of Washington had a
thrilling encounter with a huge rat
tlesnake near his home yesterday
morning. While he was returning
home his attention was attracted by a
peculiar noise on the roadside. He
stopped and accompanied by negro
began to investigate. On entering the
thick underground OF weeds they
found their approach disputed by a
venomous rather. coiled up in his den
and ready to enter a death struggle
with anything that came his way. The
first impulse of the men was to kill
the monster but he was such a fine
specimen that they determined to eff
feet his capture alive. He was quick
ly surrounded. forked sticks were
brought into play and a desperate
struggle was on. The contest was
waged with varying success and at
one time II looked as if the RATHER
would get the better of the fight. The
escape of the men was miraculous for
more than once the brave reptile
sprang fearlessly at his antagonists
He was finally overpowered and forced
into a box but not until he had sue
ceeded in plunging his poisonous fangs
into the neck of a pointer dog, killing
the animal twenty minutes later. Mr..
Perfect is very proud of his captive
but has no desire for a repetition OF
his thrilling experience. The snake is
one of the finest ever seen in Wilkes
county and Mr.. Perfect will keep him
as a net

ROAST THE OPEN SALOON.
stone Mountain Bnptists Demand
state Prohibition.

Atlanta, Sept. 5.-The Stone Noun
tain Baptist Association to-day unani-
mousIy adopted resolutions to fight the
LIQUOR traffic with the ballot to the bit
ter end.
The resolutions are as follows:
Resolved first, That we commend the
work done thus far by the lnterdenom>
national Committee.
Resolved, second, That we urge up
on our people to rally to the support
of such candidates for Legislature ana
Governor as are openly committed TO
the overthrow of the open saloon.
The resolutions were as amendments
to the report of the Temperance Com
mittee and the report as a Whole was
unanimously adopted
The report of the Temperance Com
mittee and the discussion which is
brought forth were decided by the most
interesting features of the first three
days session. The report was read by
Rev. w ]. Holtzclaw, chairman of the
committee, and was bitter denuncia-
ton of the liquor traffic and the open
saloon.
The resolutions were introduced by
Rev. Len G. Broughton, who said that
unless some other candidate came out
avowedly as opposed to liquor, they
would elect Query Governor. The
same resolutions, he said, would be car
ried before every Baptist association
in the state.

No Deaths From Ptomaine Poisoning
at Mcpherson.

Atlanta, Sept. 5.-The two hundreo
and twenty-six enlisted men OF the
Twenty seventh Infantry, stationed al
Fort Mcpherson, who are in the post
hospital on account of illness, caused
presumably by ptomaine poisoning
were reported better to-day. and 1t is
believed all will recover. OF the 4lt
men enrolled in Companies A, B, c ana
d only 1870 were on duty.
The physicians say the sickness was
caused by ptomaine poisoning IN the
food served Tuesday evening. Inc
cooks say nothing was prepared s-nd
left standing overnight for breakfast
and attribute the trouble to the ice.
The cooks also claim that 40 canned
goods have been used for six months
and that nothing has been cooked In
copper since last March
Col. French made the Following
statement to the Associated Press:
"A complete investigation OF the
poisoning of the enlisted men has been
made by the post surgeon and myself.
1t is impossible to state positively
what caused the illness of the men.
The mess halls have been regularly in
spected, and nothing has been found
that could have produced poisoning
All the men are improving, and VIII
be able to report for duty in few
days"

GUERRY SPOKE AT TENNILLE.
His Speech Did Not Arouse Particu-
lar Enthusiasm.

Tennille. Ga, Sept. 5.-Dupont Query
spoke here tonight in the Auditorium
to cultured audience of 150 third
of whom We're ladies. Really. there was
nothing sensational nor startling in his
speech.
He deprecated the fact that ladies
manifest so little interest in political
affairs He, is not the candidate of the
Methodists for the gubernatorial NOM
ination. He asks nobody to vote for
him because he is a prohibitionist, nor
because of the alleged fact that he is
the candidate of preachers, in whose
good company was centered the moral
manly sentiment of the state.
Prohibition is a democratic measure.
Thomas Jefferson was one of it's ablest
opponents 1t is not a sumptuary law,
as claimed by the opposition. Prohibi-
ton did prohibit as effectively as any
penal law of the code of the state or
the nation. Mr.. Guerry read clipping
from the Savannah Morning News in
reference to the waste of time and
money and energy to enforce prohibit
ton in Kansas, also the reply of the
Eatonton Messenger This was the
only reference to Col. Estill.
Browns record on prohibition was
not straight, Guerry said. He would
not criticize his opponents. but both
Brown and Terrell had acquiesced in
the improper and reckless legislation
proposed in the Atlanta depot matter.
The whisky men all over the state
were for Terrell, whose groomsman
was Potts, an Atlanta liquor man.
The railroads of the state unload the
burden of taxation upon the people.
The farmers of the state returned
their agricultural implements, stock
and wagons at six millions, and the
railroads of the state nearly seven
thousand miles in length, all together,
with all other possessions, were valued
at but forty-six millions.
Terrill would build Atlanta a depot
and pay teachers with the public prop
erty fund, but the plan was unconsti-
tutional and it miscarried. Railroads
paid but one-third of their tax. Guer-
rvs speech was smooth, finished and
refined. but did not arouse either dis
cussion or enthusiasm.

PULLEN SKIPPED OUT.
Was Wanted at Dublin on n whisky
Charge.

Dublin. Ga. Sept. 5.-The authori-
ties of the City Court of Dublin would
like very much to learn of the where
abouts of A. A. Pullen. Pulien was
convicted Tuesday of the illegal sale
of whisky. Yesterday Judge Adams
thought to pass sentence on the man,
but it was found that he had skipped.
Officers Immediately gave chase, but
up to this hour he has not been cap
tured. Pullen is under bond in five
other cases, and these will be forfeit
ed tomorrow unless he shows up for
trial. Some of his friends state that
he will appear when wanted but this
the court officers do not believe. Pull
len IS white man and has been be-
fore the courts of Laurens county for
several years. He was the beneficiary
for a $4,000 insurance policy on the
life of his father, which the company
refused to pay, alleging that the as
sured did not contract for the insur-
ance, was never examined and never
signed the application. In fact, Pull
len is charged with forgery in connec-
ton with the insurance. The case is
now in the United States Court at Ma
con, the assignees of A. A. Pullen be-
ing the plaintiffs in the case.
The County Commissioners of Lau-
rens county yesterday fixed the tax
rate at 81. Sc on the 81 900. This, with
the state tax rate of IS "A on the ST.
900, will make $13 per $1,000 that will
have to be paid by the property own
erS of Laurens county this year. The
county VIII realize a revenue of $685.
900 from the assessment.
Yesterday at the residence of Mr..
r. B. Chapman. Rev. w. N. Aims
worth, officiating, Mr.. Walter Turling-
ton of Marietta, and Miss Pearl Nc
Cray of this city. We're united in mar
riage. The couple Immediately left
for Marietta, their future home.
1t has been discovered by County
School Commissioner James T. Smith
that fraud was practiced by the ne
gro school teachers of the county in
the general examination last June, and
another examination has been ordered
by the board. For several weeks after
the examination the commissioner was
too busy to grade the papers. Recent
ly this was done when it was discov-
cred that the similarity of the exami-
nations was too striking for them to
be genuine. When the answers were
correct all of them would be correct
and when wrong, all of them would be
wrong. 1t is believed that the negroes
secured copies of the blanks sent out
from the Office of the state school COM
missioner, but now is the question. The
papers of the negro applicants for
teachers licenses were much better
than the papers of the white appli-
cants. this being particularly true of
arithmetic. In this study the negroes
made averages of 95 per cent. The
fact that the papers of the negro APP
plicants were so much better than the
white applicants first aroused the sus-
picion of the commissioner, who i'm
mediately brought the matter to the
attention of the Board of Education.

They also agree that children under
10 years old shall not be allowed TO

stances. Mr.. Charles d. fuller, secre-
tary of the Georgia Industrial Assocl-
alton, explained the origin of this
movement as follows: <.
The question of employment OF MIN
or children in the cotton mills in Geor-
gia has received some attention by
the Georgia Industrial Association,
who recommended to the manufacture
ers of the state that they undertake
to agree on Some plan or method
whereby the younger children Woulo
not be permitted to enter the mills
when they were too small. The asita-
ton or the question dihOHS 'HS .ti
owners has resulted in every cotton,
wooden and knitting mill in the state

Georgia Industrial Association ana
placards containing the rules as rec
commended by the Georgia Industrial
Association have been distributed to all
the cotton mills, wooden mills and
knitting mills in the state, they having

Lewis Edwards, a negro, about

Leterer on the jaw and cut his face
