this duel meant certain death. so great
was Judson's fame for skill and cruel
ty. Notwithstanding they were 20 hand
icapped with this feeling OF impending
evil. they met their duty without a
tremor. for the motto Of their house
was "Malo Mori Guam Fedrai."
II was n misty morning In March.
Brandon has told me since that when
his elder brother took his stand It was
at once manifest that he was Judson's
superior both In strength and skill. but
after a few strokes the brothers blade
bent double and broke on short at the
hilt when Il should have gone home.
Thereupon Judson. with malignant
smile OF triumph. deliberately selected
his opponents heart and pierced It with
bis sword. giving the blade n twist as
he drew Il ont IN order to cut and mutt

In an instant Sir Williams doublet
was OF. and he was IN his dead sons

killed broke the sword. and the father
died rs the son had died.
After this came young Charles. ex

INCONSISTENT.

A drunken negro killed a policeman
in an Atlanta bar room on Decatur
street last week, and case was made
against the saloon keeper for keeping a
"disorderly house." Why blame the
saloon keeper? Didn't Atlanta city
council and citizens know that when
they licensed a man to sell wniskey to
negroes, or white men either, that dis
order and decentralization would ensue?
Didn't they know that whiskey would
frenzy the brain and nerve the arm to
drive the dagger to policeman's heart
or any one else even where there was
no provocation? Isn't Atlanta respon-
sible for the murder by giving the
saloon keeper the right for few paltry
dollars to make drunkards, criminals,
paupers, widows and orphans? Isn't
this murder the fruit of such sowing?
Isn't Atlanta particeps criminis in the
crime that flows from the liquor traf-
fic? Why visit condemnation upon the
saloon keeper any more than the voter
whovotes to legalize the sale ofwhiskey?
Without this vote giving the authority,
the sale of whiskey could not be legally
tolerated and the lives of policemen
put In jeopardy. The more licensed
saloons the more fights, the more dis
order, the more crime, the more police
men needed and the more taxes
required.
Debauch virtue and expect chastity
is just as reasonable as for Atlanta to
condemn saloon keeper when a muir
der is committed by drunken negro
in his place OF business.
