COL. w. {. W0OTEN TO RESIGN
Lieut.. Col. r. N. Hopkins to Succeed
to Command of Fourth REGIMENT.

Albany, Ca, April 24.-There has
been a persistent rumor in circulation
in this part of the state for several
months past that Col. w. E. Wooten,
commanding the Fourth Regiment of
Infantry Georgia State Troops, would
shortly resign. and now the report is
confirmed. Col. Wooten is absent from
Albany to-day, but your correspondent
has it from source that must be con-
sidered authoritative that his resigna-
ton will go to the Governor within
the next thirty days, or as soon as GER
tain preliminaries can be arranged.
Most of the line officers of the regi-
ment were in Albany on Tuesday,
which was Military Day of the Geor-
gia Chautauqua, and the selection of
Col. Wootens successor was freely dis
cussed among them. 1t is certain,
from what developed OH Tuesday, that
Lieut.. Col T. N Hopkins of Thomas
vile will be promoted to the command
of the regiment. and will have no OPP
position He has held his present post
for a number of years, and is one of
the most popular officers of the Geor-
gia militia.
Col. Wooten will resign on account
of the pressing demands of business
in connection with the solicitor gem
eralship of the Albany circuit, which
he holds. There is great regret that
he is to retire. At present, he is the
ranking colonel, except one, of the
Georgia State Troops.

BLOOD FLOWED AT wAYCRoss.
Plant System Detective Badly Cut
Up by "Doc" Howell.

RANT system Detective Badly cut
Up by doe" Howell.
Waycross, Ga, April 24.-This morn
ing about $50 Detective w. d. Cobb
of the Plant System. and w. A. Howell.
alias DOC" Howell, engaged in a diff
Guilty in front of the Southern Hotel,
in this city. and the detective was
badly cut about the neck and face,
while Howell was given a black eye.
Eye witnesses to the affair say that
as Howell was passing by where De-
tective Cobb was standing the latter
remarked that he did not like for any
one to tell a lie on him. At this How
ell stopped and asked what he said
when the remark was repeated. How
ell said, II did not tell lie on you"
evidently referring to some former con-
versation. There were some further
words between the men, when they
clinched. In the difficulty Howell sue
ceeded in drawing his knife and cut
Cobb about the face and neck in a
frightful manner.
The blood flowed freely
and when the detective was taken to
the Plant System Hospital he was as
bloody as beef. The sidewalk was be-
spattered with blood, and several par
ties who interfered and separated the
combatants were bloodied considera-
bly,
1t is presumed that the difficulty
grew out of the car robbery, cases now
being investigated. as Mr.. Howell is
one of the parties accused of that
crime, and Mr.. Cobb is one of the de-
tectives that worked up the cases.
Officer Cottingham was first on the
scene, and placed Howell under arrest
and took him TO Jail. 1t is understood
that the detectives wounds are not as
deep as was at first thought. and he is
expected to be around all right in a
short time.

cANDLER's ORDERS UPHELD.

Habeas Corpus in Mrs. Duncan's
Case still Continue, However.
Atlanta, April 24.-In the habeas cor
pus proceedings instituted by Mrs. Mol
lie Eady Duncan. charged with the
murder Of her husband, to secure her
release on a plea of former jeopardy,
Judge Lumpkin this afternoon refused
10 hear evidence attacking the two
orders of Judge Gambler, declaring a
mistrial.
1t will be remembered a mistrial was
declared because Mrs. Duncan tainted
just as the case was about to go to
the jury, and because two of the ju-
rors went to her assistance. The only
question which Judge Lumpkin con-
sented to entertain was whether the
second order was seRned in the pres
ence of the defendant and her coun-
sci.
The argument will be continued on
this line tomorrow.

NEGRO HANGED FOR ASSAULT.
First Conviction Under south Caro-
Iina's New Law Regulating Such

Trials.
Columbia, S. c., April 24.-Julius
Gibbs, a negro, was hanged at Florence
to-day for criminal assault upon a
young married woman a month ago.
Gibbs attacked his victim in her house
while she was getting him something
to eat that he begged for.
The man was tried under a law
passed two mnoths ago, which gives
the Governor power to order a special
term of court to try such cases, and
whether he shall permit the chief wit
ness for the prosecution to testify in
public or private The avowed pur-
pose of this law was to remove some
of the objections, made by those who
condoned lynching, to permitting the
law to take it's course. The chief trou-
BILE about having the accused brought
to trial was that his victim would
have to appear in court and be sub
jected, in the presence of large crowd
of people, to examination and cross
examination that would be most dis
tressing. Again. where there are in
tervals of months between sessions of
the criminal courts, the delay in bring
ing the accused to trial was an excuse
for the mob undertaking quick execu-
ton.
The trial of julius Gibbs was the
first under the new law, and the fact
that the mob gathered to lynch him
was promised he would be speedily
tried by a special term of court, pre-
vented his unlawful killing.
The court met a week after the
crime was committed, and the case
was disposed of in one day. Gibbs had
previously confessed fully to the sher-
if and jailer, but it was necessary I'M
der the constitution to confront him
with his accuser" For this purpose
the unfortunate young woman was
conveyed privately into the judges
room, and when her testimony was re-
quired, the court room was ordered
cleared. Only the jury, officers of the
court and lawyers in the case remained
to hear the victims testimony. None
others saw her.
The Timmonsville Guards were sta
toned about the Jail to-day.

He COURIER

The same transformation may be seen
to take place In a smoking car filled
with bored looking men when a woman
passes through II. or in a hotel office
when ladies enter.
An afternoon tea which has been
on the brink Of utter failure has become
a merry and delightful function after
three or four or even one or two men ar
rive.
1t is not that women do not know how
to entertain one another, or that teal-
ousies or rivalries spoil their friend
ships; 1t Is rather that the sex element
was meant by the Creator to make the
association Of human beings Of vital in
terest, and that without 1t life grows
dull. stale and uninteresting.
Any woman bent upon living a single
life would be more sensible to run the
risk of having to frequently change her
platonic friends than to attempt to live
without male friendships.
Better occasional storms than a per-
petually arid atmosphere Better a
spice Of danger than deadly dullness.
Unless a woman comes from a long
line Of diseased or insane ancestors she
ought not to form a resolution Of cell
bacy. There is no duty she can owe to
others which is greater than her duty
to establish a happy home for herself.
As a woman passes youth, she finds II
more and more difficult to form agree
able friendships with single men Of her
own years.
She may encounter single men. but
they are not congenial. and the men
she meets who seem sympathetic are
usually married.
The moment comradeship Is at
tempted between a man and a woman
where a third party Is legally entitled
