RESIGNATION
Of SLEDD IS
ACCEPTED
COMMITTEE OF
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF EN-
DRY ACCEPTED PROFESSOR
SLEDD'S RESIGNATION.

The resignation OF Professor Andrew
Sledd from the chair of Latin in Emory
college has been accepted by the board of
trustees of that college. at their meeting
held Tuesday afternoon in the office OF
Colonel H. z. W. Palmer, in the Equita-
BILE building.
The resignation Of Prof. Sledd followed
the vigorous outburst which followed an
article from his pen on the negro ques-
ton. printed in the July number of the
Atlantic Monthly. He handed In his resig
nation to President James E. Dickey last
Friday and II was accepted at the meeting
of the board of directors.
The committee met Tuesday afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock in the office of Colonel Pal
mer and discussed the resignation of
Prof. Sledd to some length. The follow
ing members of the board of trustees, who
make up the executive committee, were
present at the meeting: General c., A.
Evans, DR.. w. c. Lovett and H. z. W.
Palmer. Dr. c. E. bowman and Captain
]. NJ. Pace, the other two members of the
committee, were not able to be present.
Dr. Dickey, president of Emory, was pres
ent at the meeting of the COMMITTEES.
The members of the committee discussed
the resignation of Professor Sledd at some
length and decided that 1t were best to
accept it, which they did. No other bust
ness was transacted, and the committee
lnen dOJOuTnSQ. Inc IneSlinB was nelu III
Secret, and the members of the committee
refused to discuss the matter at all, other
than to announce that the resignation Of
Prof. Sledd had been accepted.
No successor to Prof. Sledd has been
named, and President Dickey, when seen,
stated that he did not care to give out
any Information at all in regard to the
matter.
The action of the executive committee
of the board Of trustees is absolutely final.
and their action did not come as a sur.
prise. 1t is now probable that the I'M
fortunate affair, which had caused such
an outburst all over Georgia, win be en-
tirely dropped. Before the publication of
the article which caused this commotion,
Professor Sledd has always been highly
regarded by every one, and was consid-
cred one of the best instructors at Emory.

largest yet disposed of by the court and
the record Of the body for the year just

respect. There were many important cases
that required a great deal of time and
labor that were disposed of since last
October.

in October, win be constituted as follows:
First Division-Chief Justice Simmons,
Associate Justices Fish and Lewis.

FOR B0ILS AND CARBUNcLES

= NEW YORK. Aug. I.-Dr. Doyen. Of Paris,
has demonstrated that the inflamed tumors des-
ignated under the names of boils or furuncles
and anthrax may be successfully submitted to
the serum treatment, says the Paris corre-
spondent OF The Herald.
The doctor has brought to the notice OF the
academy of medicine albuminus liquid
which, administered In doses of five TO ten cubic
centimetres Is effcacious against the tsaphylo-
coccus microbe which engenders those anec-
lions. The serum employed has such a power
full effect that in two three hours after the
Injection all pain caused by the Inflammation
ceases The results vary a little according to
the manner In which the injection Is made
and the amount OF deccyed tissue In the center
OF the eruption.
The largest carbuncles cure without any In
cision or eauteriZation. yielding to a simple
ernollinent and aseptic dressing
The Infections about 200 in number. made by

There appears 70 be no question as 20

doctrine. Germany has been keeping
close watch OF Venezuela for some
months and at one time contemplated
taking a Venezuelan port IN order tc COM
plete the payment OF certain German
claims.
II WIS in that connection that the Ger
man ambassador at Washington. Herr
Won Holleben. made inquiry OF President
Roosevelt and the state department as TO
whether such a move by Germany for
the sole purpose Of collecting a claim and
not for the purpose Of territorial expan-
sion. would meet with any disfavor by
the American government The response
OF the United States left Germany free TO
act, with the assurance that no territorial
extension was intended.
The present landing Of q German force
has no connection with Germany's former
move against Venezuela. although the as

serve IN the present case to show that
there Is no Interior purpose in the pro-
lection OF German interests at Porto Ca
