UNITED STATES MARINES TO
GUARD iSTHMiAN TRAINS
1t Is Explained That This Doesn't Mean
Hostility to Colombia.

PANAMA, Colombia, Sept. 17.-Com-
mander Potter, of the United States
cruiser Ranger, will tomorrow morn
ing place guards on the trains running
across the isthmus. This step will be
taken in addition to the marines land
ed this morning at Colon from the
cruiser Cincinnati. 1t Is not thought
probable that the revolutionists will
attempt to interrupt transit.
Gen. Salazar, commander Of the gov
ernment forces on the isthmus, and
Acting United States Consul Their
mann were in conference today. The
general was informed that the measure
of placing guards on the trains could
not be considered as an act of hostility
to Colombia, but that it was taken un-
der the necessity Of insuring uninter-
rupted traffic over the railroad.

LOOK INTO MOUTH
OF SOUFRIERE
Creepy Experience of Two Americans
Who Investigate the ST. Vim

JAMESTOWN, ST. Vincent, B. W. l.,
Sept. 17&Both craters of La Soufriere
have been active since Sept. II. The
mountain is usually covered with
clouds, but this morning two Ameri-
cans named Cummings and Adams
ventured to ascend the mountain and
reached the summit of the crater. Sept.
this crater contained water, but it is
now filled with sand and has a funnel
shaped cavity in the center. Cum
mings and Adams saw flames rising
from three distinct places in the crater.
They had a narrow escape. The heat
on the mountain was intolerable.
The predictions made by American
scientists with regard to later erup-
tions of La Soufriere are being sig
nally fulfilled.

BERLIN, Sept. 1.-THE naval opera

fleet under command of the emperor,
HohenZollern, forcing an entry into
the Elbe, defeating the German fleet
and breaking up lot Of submarine
mines. The maneuvers were much

Wireless telegraphy was used more
completely during this years naval

OHIO PEOPLE THINK THEY
HAVE A VOLCANO
Smoke and suIphurous Gases Attrib-
uted to Mont PeIee,s Eruptions.

CAMBRIDGE, Ohio, Sept. 17.-Peo-
pie living in the Paint Creek Valley
are greatly alarmed over the appear
ance of smoke and sulphurous gases
from copperas mountains which can be
seen from this place. Ever since the
first eruption of Mont Pelee smoke has
issued from the mountains at inter-
walls, but only within the past few days
has the smoke and gas become espe-
cially noticeable, and many attribute it
TO the recent eruntions at Martinique.
The slate in the mountain has be-
come hot and some of it has become a
dull red from the action of the heat.
The smoke issues from the side and not
the top of the mountain and scientists
will be asked to make thorough in
Vestigation.

TRUSTEES OF EMORY
HAVE NOT YET ACTED

No action has as yet been taken by the
trustees of Emory college regarding the
article of Prof. Sledd on the negro ques-
ton which has excited the wrath and in
dignation of the friends and patrons of
that institution.
The Journal Tuesday wired Captain j. p.
williams, chairman of the board, at Sa-
vannah, asking for his views on the sub
ject and as to whether d meeting of the
trustees had been called. His reply was
as follows:
Cannot reply for publication, as not
read article and have received no request
from members board to call meeting.

The Wesleyan Christian Advocate, the
official organ of the Methodist church,

have any reference to the article Rev.
w. C.. Lovett, DID,, editor of the paper,
said yesterday that he was awaiting
developments and if a meeting of the trus-
tees was called he would probably not say
anything until it was seen what they
would do in the matter.
Prominent Methodists and friends of the
institution in Atlanta do not hesitate to
condemn the Sledd article and the out
come is being watched with absorbing in

THE LONG CONTROVERSY OVER
BATTLE OF FIRST MANASSAS

HAWKINSVILLE, Ga, July rs, 1907.
Editor Journal:
In your leading editorial in Fridays
(5th) Issue, abiding to the possibilities
that might have occurred, as fruits of the
first great decisive battle of the war be-
tween the states. you drop into two err
rors, one of which is often repeated. You
call this great conflict the Battle OF
Bull Run" It has been the unquestioned
right for centuries Of the victor. 70 name
the battlefield. GeneraI Joseph e. john
ston, commanding the Confederate forces
gave the name of Manassas to the first
great engagement. The same name is re-
ferred to by Confederate historians and
therefore Manassas" is the correct name
of this engagement. The Yankees have
dropped into the habit Of alluding 10 this
field as Bull Run" The battle OF Bull
Run was the preliminary engagement be-
tween the advance of McDowelfs ana
Beauregard's forces, fought on the 18th
of July, 1861
AS the Federal armies were overwhelm-
ingly defeated on list of July, 1861, under
Mcdowell and 30th and 31st OF August,
1862, under Headquarters in the Saddle
Pope. no right remains with them to name
the field of their terrible defeats, and the
First battle Of Manassas" and the sec
ond Battle of Manassas" are the proper
denominations of these two great con-
flicts.
A second error is in naming Stanton as
United States secretary of war at the time
of the First Manassas. Simon Cameron,
of Pennsylvania, filled the office Of war
secretary The misfortunes that followed
the federal army in the early stages OF
the war, aroused the animosities OF that
hydra-headed monster public clamor, who
howled and ragged until the pressure fired

.AUsTELL SCHOOL PATRONS
WRITE OF THE ELECTION
AUsTELL, GA, Aug. /, 1902,

AUSTELL, GA, Aug. ], 19V2.
To the Editor of The Journal:
In Tuesdays Journal we read com
munication from a correspondent in ref
erence to the school situation here at Aus
tell in which are inaccuracies which we
trust you will correct In justice to the
patrons of the school and Prof. Greer.
Your correspondent says that Prof. Bill
lings was elected by partisan board
This was done in the face Of a petition
signed by IS per cent of the patrons In
favor of retaining Prof. Greer. The board
ignored and tabled said petition.
The school board was bodily discharged
by the city council at their last meeting.
Prof. Greer never has said or authorized
any one else to say that he contemplated
moving elsewhere.
A strange inconsistency that the patrons
of the school should present Prof. Greer
with a gold headed cane in appreciation
of the good work he has done here the
last three years and then ask him 10
move further afield.
The above are the facts and can be veri-
fed by any citizen of Austell excepting
the defunct school board and about per
cent of the disgruntled ones.
Yours truly,

A SON OF THE REVOLUTION
IN COLUMBIA COUNTY

To the Editor of The Journal:
I've been reading The Journal some
twelve years, and incidentally I've been
contributing to its columns such matter
as have deemed would be Of interest 10
its readers. Having The Journal by me
SO long, it is in nowise strange that
read nearly everything it publishes.
Recently / have noticed in Letters
| from the People" communications from
J grandsons of the Revolution. These let
tiers put me to thinking on the matter
and in turning over the histories OF my
friends I not only recalled TO memory
I several grandsons of the Revolution, but
/ also one real "son of the Revolution.
Probably there are others among my
! friends, but il so I do not know II, and
trust a bit Of history concerning this one
will prove interesting.
His name is B. L. Neal He resides In
, Columbia county, near Winfield, Ca, and
during the civil war was second sergeant
co. D, Twelfth Georgia battalion, Evans
| brigade.
Mr.. NeaPs father was born in 175S ana
died in 1919, at the age of 81 years. He was
married twice, and when he married his
last wife Sarah Hull Green) he was 70
years old, and she was q. At this time he
did not have a white hair in his head,

born, and was IS years old when his
youngest son was BORN
At the age of 20 years Mr.. Nears IA
Their began service in the American army,
and also served in the war of 1872 as well
as the Indian wars.
Mr.. Meals mother was the daughter OF
Captain McKeen Green, of the Revolu-
tionary army. Captain Green had two
brothers IN the same army-Major John
Green and Colonel BENJAMIN Green. In
some way they were related to General

So il win be seen that here we have a
son of the Revolution. They come few
and far between now, and surely the
public will read with interest a short
sketch Of their lives.
The past is undeniably linked with the
future. and the history Of the past throws
a ray OF light across the path OF the dim
future.
Mr., Meals family are interesting them
selves as grandsons and granddaughter
of the Revolution, and Mrs. Neal can tell
some good old time stories herself
Mr.. Neal has two sons and seven
daughters, so here is a group of grand
children Of the Revolution that would
make a pretty picture for The Journal.

sLEDD's EFFIeY is
BURNED BY BOYS

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
CONVICTION, Ca, Aug. 6.-Since The
Journals publication of extracts from the
article written by Prof. Andrew Sledd, of
Emory college, Oxford, for The Atlantic
Monthly, Indignation here has been grow
ing more intense each day. The condem-
nation of the article with it's views on the
negro question eliminated last night when
a stuffed eff1gy of Prof. Sledd was burned
in public by a crowd of citizens,
Many of Covington's best people have
been outspoken in their disapproval of the
magazine article, but until yesterday af-
ternoon no step towards a public demon
stration against it's author was suggested.
The general condemnation became so
strong then, however. that several young
men decided to give vent to their own
feelings and to what they deemed the feel
ings of Covington people by burning the
Emory professor in effigy.
Accordingly they rugged up a figure
from old clothes and straw, placarded it
with the name Of Professor Sledd, hauled
it about town on wagon and then strung
1t up and set fire to Ii on the public
square. The burning was witnessed by q
considerable crowd, and there were cheers
when the flames devoured the straw tg-
ure.
The action OF the young men is con-
demned by the more conservative ele-
ment of Covington, who continue to ex-
press Indignation at the magazine article,
but who assert that the burnt effigy busi-
ness was not the proper manner of show
ing disapproval. The demonstration on
the public square, therefore, does not in
any way represent the attitude of Coving-
toms citizenship, but was merely an out
burst of indignation from party Of
young men.
1t was rumored in Covington this morn
ing that Prof. Sledd had resigned, but this
report could not be confirmed. Citizens of
Oxford who could be found were not
able to say whether or not the report was
