VETERANS COMING TRIP.
Preparing for Their Excursion to
Texas This Month.

Preparing for Their Excursion to
Texas This Month.
The Confederate reunion at Dallas,
Tex, this month, will no doubt be the
largest ever held. 1t is not generally
known, that there are camps in every
state of the union, and it is said that
every one will be represented. The peo-
pie of Dallas are determined to make
it a memorable occasion.
Texas has the largest number of Con-
federate veterans of any one state.
Thousands, just after the close of the
their homes, and many have become
prominent citizens. 1t is the first time
since the organization of the Confed-
crate veterans into camps that they
have met in Texas, and the promises
made last year, it is expected, will be
fully carried out
The entertainments will be of a var
led character, most of them new in this
section of the country. Few have seen
the real cowboy in his daring feats;
the Indian from the plains, with his
bow and arrow: the bull fights. The
old vets will be received with open
arms. and lavish hospitality. These
facts have been CLEANED from the Tex
as papers.
The veterans of Savannah are look
ing forward with pleasing anticipations
to their visit. Every, detail will be ar
ranged, and will have the personal su-
pervision of Mr.. w G. Brewer, who
will accompany the veterans to Dallas.

IN A FIT OF JEALOUSY.
JOE CLARK FATALLY STABBED
HATTIE RIVERS.

Clarke Arrested and Said He Did
Not Intend to XIII the Woman.
The Wounded Woman said He
Was Jealous and Sprang mt Her
With nknife-Her Statement Made
to Detective Murphy-NO Hope for
Her Recovery.
While in a jealous rage, Joe Clarke,
one-legged shoemaker, fatally
stabbed Hattie Rivers, a negro known
on the West Side as Punk last night.
The knife entered the woman's right
breast and there is no hope for her re-
covery.
The assault was committed at the
woman's house, at No. 2S West Broad
street, north, and some time later
Clarke was arrested by Detectives Muir
ply and Wall, who had been notified
of the cutting from police headquar-
tiers. The shoemaker denied that he
had cut the woman Intentionally, and
stated that the wound that will cause
her death was made during a playful
scuffle.
Clarke claims that he had no reason
for wanting p to kill the woman, and
that he had no intention of injuring
her in any manner, He says that he
had the knife open when they began
scuffiing and that in some unaccounta-
BILE manner the sharp point pierced the
bosom of his paramour. The wounded
woman told an entirely different story
and declared that the assault had been
prompted by jealousy
She made a statement to Detective
Murphy in the presence of DIR. G. w.
Herriot, who had been called in to at
tend her The woman said that she
had been to the corner store and that
while there she talked with a man. She
staid a little longer than she had IN
tended to, and when she returned home
she found Clarke in a rage.
| The woman claims that when she en-
| tered the house the shoemaker demand
ed where she had been so long. what
she had been doing. and with whom she
had been talking She was in no par
ticular hurry about answering his
questions. and claims that before she
had fully made up her mind what to
say, Clarke sprang forward and sent
the knife blade into her breast. She
screamed and her assailant ran.

ESTILL ON EDUCATION.

Atlanta Constitution: Discussing a
feature of the campaign the Stillmore
Budget published the following in its
last issue:
Terrell favors the education of the
masses. Estill belongs to the Gambler
class of thinkers, and Gambler was a
positive enemy to the education of the
masses notwithstanding his promise
upon this subject in his first campaign.
The lamented Atkinson is the only
Governor Georgia has ever had who
favored in reality the education of the
masses. Terrell will make another.
Col. Estill wac asked what truth
there was in the statement published
in the St!llmore Budget that he was
"a positive enemy to the education of
the masses.
II suppose the Budget wanted to say
something hostile to me- Col. Estill
replied, land knowing of nothing else
that would likely hurt me with its
readers, cassed me with Gov. Can
dler as being hostile to education. 1
don't think the Governor should be
classed that way, either. l suppose
it does not know anything about my
record in regard to public education.
If 1t did, it would not have made the
foregoing statement.
ut is fact that have been a warm
friend of the public school system all
my life. as every one in this commu-
n:ty knows. In fact if have a hob
by, it is the public schools. I was
ore of the first pupils admitted to the
Barnard street public school in Sa-
vannah, and l have been a warm adj
vocate of the public schools ever since.
II have been a member of the Board
of Education of Chatham county for
chairman of the boards Finance Com
mittee for eleven years, and at the
present time 1 am chairman of the
board l am sure that my associates
on the Board of Education will bear
me- out in saying that 1 have always
been aggressive in urging the building
of school houses in my city and coun-
ty, taking the ground that the people
would sanction any reasonable ex-
Dend!ture for such a purpose. If it
had not been for this belief in the
peoples willingness to pay for school
houses, two, and perhaps more of the
school houses of Savannah would not
have been built.
The Stillmore Budgets statement is
clearly an injustice to me. l hope,
however, that though hostile to me
it has no intention to do me an injus-
tice. 1t would have been an easy
matter, however, to have found out
that 1 was not an enemy of the edu-
cation of the masses. have been
advocating better public schools ever
since / have had a newspaper, and l
hope 1 have done something toward
giving this state better schools. They
are not what we ought to have by a
great DEAL and I think as the people
improve their material condition they
will supplement the amount they re-
ceive from the state with a local school
tax. so that eventually we shall have
made better schools in all the coun-
ties which do not now assist the
schools by local taxation. My views
respecting public schools are so well
known. however, that there is no use
in repeating them"

A GOOD DEAL IN PHOSPHATE.

Ocala Banner: Some time ago Ed
ward Holder bought forty acres of
phosphate land near Dunnellon. for
which he paid $4,000. He erected a
plant on the property and has mined

refused an offer for the property, day

the most important deal that has been
made in phosphate. circles in some

CURING A RATTLEsNAKE BITE.


Thomas County News: Little Max
well, the 10 months old son of H. H i.
Merritt, was bitten by rattlesnake
Tuesday afternoon while playing. in
company with some other children, in
a field. near where it's father was at
work. The reptile measured three feet
in length The father corded the leg
just below the knee, caught a young
chicken. cut it in half and applied it
to the bite which drew some, if not all
of the poison out. The child was
then carried to Dr. Walkers sanitari-
um at Cairo, a distance of six miles.
After arriving there the mother of the
child sucked some of the poison into
her mouth and spat it out. At last
accounts the child was thought to be
out of danger. This act of the mother
together with the application of the
chicken probably saved the little fell
lows life.
