MAI. L. B. GRANDY DEAD
IN THE PHILIPPINES

Major Luther B. Grandy, formerly of
this city, Is dead in the Philippines. ca
blegram received in this city Saturday
by Mr. Alfred G. Smart, brother-in-laW
of DR.. Grandy, containing only the two
words, Doctor dead" and signed by DR..
Grandy's wife. bore the sad intelligence to
his many friends in this city.
DR.. Grandy was a surgeon in the Thirty
fifth infantry, with the rank of major, and
was stationed in Liepa, province of Ba-
tanga, Isle of Luzon. Liepa is town Of
Is 200 inhabitants and is forty miles south
of Manila. DR.. Grandy had been stationed
there for some time with his regiment.
He was accompanied to the Philippines
by his wife, and four-year-old son, who
were both with him when the end came.
Major Grandy was. when he lived here,
one of the best known and prominent
physicians in Atlanta, and has hosts of
friends who will be shocked to know of
his death. His relatives and friends did
not even know he was sick, and the cable
message announcing his death came as a
sudden death comes, as a distinct shock
to hosts of friends here.
DR.. Grandy was born in Oxford. Tenn,
in 1860, and was forty-two years of age.
He studied medicine in that state, and
moved to Atlanta in 1890, where he took
up the practice of medicine. He practiced
medicine with Dr. w. M. Nicolson, and
later with DR.. B. w. Bizzell.
When the war with Spain commenced
he enlisted in the Third regiment of
Georgia volunteers. and was appointed
surgeon OF that regiment. with the rank
of major. He served with the Third in
Cuba, and was mustered out In this city.
He remained here for some time, and
then went to Manila as a contract sur
geon.
When he arrived in the Philippines, he
was appointed on General Young's staff,
and accompanied that general on the
fierce campaign In the north OF the Isle of
Luzon, which resulted In so much hard
lighting with the insurgents.
He was later assigned to the Soth reg
iment of volunteers, with the rank OF
major, and served with that regiment I'M
til his death. He was in many hard
fights and won much praise for his cool
work under fire.
Major lGrandy's time in the army ex-
pired in 1901, and he returned to america,
and spent some time in this city. He
wrote several articles on life and customs
in the Philippines for The Journal and
won much praise for his brilliant and ac-
curate writings.
A little later he re-enlisted in the army
as surgeon, with the rank of major, and
was again ordered to duty with the 35th.
After some hard fighting his regiment
was ordered to Bahamas, and 1t was here
that his death occurred.
DR.. Grandy married Miss Hattie A.
Smart of Atlanta, in 1893, and his wife and
one child, a handsome boy of four, sur
vive him. His wife and child were with
him in the Philippines.

THOUSANDS OF WHITES
WILL BE DISFRAN HISED

CHARLOTTE, N. c., April 11.-Unless
there is an unusual rush to settle poll tax
between this time and May 1st, Senator
Pritchard's assertion that $1,000 to 1000
white men viii be disfranchised by reason
of the new law in North Carolina requir-
ing the payment of the poll tax as a pre-
requisite to casting a ballot at the coming
election viii be fully realized. 1t is said
that even among the better class Of citl-
zens II is not realized that the matter Is
of real Importance. and unless something
is done TO arouse interest IN It, many win
not vote next November. hsss
In connection with the reouirement
framed by the Democrats requiring that
no man shall cast ballot unless he has
paid his poll tax before May LIST OF the
year in which he offers to vote there are
charges and counter-charges. 1t has been
stated by some Democratic editors that
the Republicans are collecting funds from
ofice-holders for the purpose Of paying
the tax of men who will vote for them,
and the recent episode in which a lawyer
of this city was arrested byfa dissatisded
contributor gave fresh impetus to the
charge.
On the other hand, along comes state
ment from Senator Pritchard. chairman
of the Republican state executive commit
tee, denying that his people will pay any
mans poll tax, and asserting that he UNI
derstands it to be the plan Of Democratic
leaders to get the county commissioners
to declare exempt for poverty or inirui-
ity'' all those who win vote the Democrat
ic ticket.
Both charges are probably, to say the
least, overdrawn, but the fact remains
that unless the signs fail, II Challenging
on the poll tax matter is pressed at the
next election in North Carolina, there win
be some interesting scenes.

BOTH SAINT AND SINNER

NEW YORK. April 12.-In the residence

have made startling discovery.
For two years Howard, his wife and
10-year-old son have lived at Ridgewood,l
where the man was highly respected, He
was known as a tea and coffee merchant
doing business in New York
Thefts soon began to occur in all the
country surrounding. Horses and car
riages were missed, freight depots were
looted and farm houses and barns were
entered proiniscuously.
Finally two horses and carriages were
stolen from Murray, N. Y, One of the
horses wore a peculiarly shaped shoe, by
which 1t was tracked for twenty miles, the
trail ending in Howard's barn, where
the property was found.
Search warrants were at once issued, the
house was entered and found to be filled
with all sorts Of plumber. Only Mrs How
ard was at home.
Mr.. Howard had disappeared, as had the
boy. who fled to Jersey City, where he
was found and arrested; but in the mean
time he had communicated with his faith
err and took his arrest with the greatest
degree of composure, even smiling con-
temptuously at the police when they tried
to make him tell where HIS father had
gone. Then the exploration of the house
began On the back porch was found a
nearly new road wagon. In the hallway
was a new double sleigh. The house has
fourteen rooms and each room was full of
goods. Three wagon loads of property
were taken to the village lookup in Ridge
wood. and as the available space in the
lookup was flied, officers were put In
charge of the remainder of the stuff,
which ran from fancy embroidery to new
stoves.

Then above the roar of the train, the

sparks began to come through from the
top OF the coach and fall on the passeng-
ers seated at the table.
The conductor Of the dining car reached
for the signal cord and pulled 1t vigorous

air with great jar; he shut off his steam
in a hurry by pushing his throttle in sew
eral inches. Then he muttered to him

well in a Sunday school room. He was
Of the impression that some passenger had
taken the wrong train and had stopped his
beautiful squirt.
But the dining car was on FIRE. He look
ed backwards some ten car lengths and
discovered the trouble. Then he began a
record breaking run for Howelrs. which
he had passed several minutes before. Be

WEDDING RING is
= RELIC OF DARK AGE

CHICAGO. April 12.-The romantic
ideals of seventy-five goods in a class
of anthropology at the University of Chi
cago have received a rude shock at the
hands of Prof. Frederick S. Kerr. The
professor in a class lecture, bluntly de-
clared that the wedding ring was relic
of barbarism an absolutely useless sur
vival of the culture of primitive people.
Undoubtedly" replied the professor,
1.-The wedding ring is a beautiful example
of barbaric addition, living in this mod
ern twentieth century. and filling no
function whatsoever. Perhaps one OF you
can tell me the origin of tie use of the
wedding ring?" He received no answer
from the 70 young women.
1.-The wedding ring represents the nose
ring, ankle or manacle by which in past
ages the sold slave was led away from
the mart by her new master" he con-
tinued, but every one today knows that
a woman when she is given a ring to
symbolic the wedding sacrament, is by
no means a slave"
The dress coat was also included in
Prof starts crusade against relies Of
barbarism." Turning to the men of his
class he added:
What is the origin of that absurd gar
ment, the dress coat? Nothing less than
the hunting coats of our ancestors, who
divided the tails of the long frocks cut
away the front, sewed buttons in the
back to hold up the tails, and used the
coat for a hunting jacket.
Now, why is the servant dressed in the
conventional evening costume also? Just
because he formerly had to wear out the
old hunting coat of his masters"

JUDGE HANSELL HAS SET
ON BENCH FOR So YEARS

MOULTRIE, Ca. April 11.-Superior
court convened here this week, Judge
Hansell presiding. Only jail cases will
be tried. The unfinished condition OF the
court house makes 1t very inconvenient
TO try business here now. The new court
house will be completed in a few months
and at that time. II is hoped to have an
adjourned term.
Judge Hanselrs judicial career is in
many respects the most remarkable in
this state, II not IN the United States.
Since 1S49-a period OF SO years. this grand
old man has presided over the destinies
evenhandedly has he dispensed justice
that he has not an enemy in the con-
fines OF its boundary. The people OF this
circuit love Judge Hansell as one does his
own father. and solely on account OF his
desire to retire from the bench did any
other candidate announce for the posi-
ton.
Hon. E. p. s. Denmark. OF valdosta,
and Col. r. G. Mitchell, of Thomasville,
who are the aspirants for the judgship OF
this circuit have both been with us this
week. Both OF these are gentlemen Of
the highest character. and either would
be a worthy successor to the grand old
man who, Is now nearing the end Of a
term OF service which began more than
a half century ago.
Prof. NJ w. Merritt and State School
Commissioner G.. r. Glenn. addressed the
voters of this county this week In the
interest OF their race for state school
commissioner. Professor Merritt spoke
Monday, and Glenn spoke Tuesday at the
recess OF the court. This county now
seems to be about evenly divided between
the two.
