And the Rev. Sam SwattedRight
Back.
Sensational Fight in Cartersville, ia. :,
Between Evangelist and
Postmaster.
THE RESULTS NOT SERIOUS

Cartersville, Ga, Sept. l5-Rev.
Sam p. Jones, the famous Methodist
evangelist, was badly bruised in per-
sonal encounter yesterday with Post
master Walter Alderman, whom Mr.
Jones denounced for selling wine aud
threatened to have him reported to
President Roosevelt. The difficulty
arose over ststements made by Mr..
Jones at his tabernacle meeting when
he used the expression dirty dog" in
his remarks said to refer to Mr. Aker-
man.
When they met Mr.. Akerman men
toned the remarks, and hit Mr.. Joues
in the mouth. The evangelist replied
with a lick in the eye. Though bleed
ing. Mi. Jones declared, after the
affair that the only thing hurt about
him was his fist.
During his remarks the night before
Mr.. Jones declared that the people Of
Gainesville would prefer a sober,
decent negro to hand them out their
mail to dirty dog who was using his
official position to sell wine and call
it dope" Mr.. Jones remarks were
sensational in the extreme, and the
subsequent fight was not unexpected.
This is not the first time that the min
lister has figured in such ARRAYS. Sew
ersl years ago mavor of Texas town
attempted to cane him, and received a
thorough licking

About 1000 VOlumns Now Sc
cured for it.
President perryman Bought 1000
Picked Books Today-building
About Ready Now.
ABOUT TINE FOR NEW BOARD

The public library is now about
ready to BE- turned over to the city.
1t IL thought that in about . week the
board OF trustees will formally hand
over the keys to the city, and the
mayor will then appoint the new trus-
tees, who will constitute board Of
control
On account of rather acute political
arftagonism which has in recent
months sprung up between the mayor
and members of the present library
board, which is in reality only a
building committee, there is more or
less interest in whom he will appoint
ON the new board. 1t was supposed
when the work began that he would
reappoint the present board.
The new board will be Of consider
able Importance as it will have COM
plete control of the library and will
elect the librarian, position for
which there are several applicants.
President G. W. Perrymna, of the
board. today secured 1900 volumns for
the library. Yesterday afternoon he
bid them in at sale on South Third
street but the entire stock Of goods
was later closed out as a whole.
This morning President Perryman
purchased the books from the gentle
men who bought the stock yesterday,
and they are picked volumns, and did
not cost much over slC0.
This gives some where near 1000
books for the library rs a starter. Mr..
H. O. West several months ago gave
his private library to the library, and
former Congressman @. X. Wheeler
secured several hundred volumns of
pubic documents at Washington. In
addition many othsr donations have
been made and there is quite an array
of books already. rs -,
The racks are now in and the books
will be placed on them forthwith.
The trustees have s-been told of many
citizens who have books to turn over
to the library when it is complete and
ready to open.

Surprise Over Grand Jury's In
dictment of Henry Temple.
HAD Been Out on Small Bond When
e-arrested Today--Motion for
Bail Tomorrow.
REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.

The grand jury made its second re-
port yesterday afternoon but only five
indictments were returned, notwith-
standing the report to the effect that
60 true bills had been returned.
Those reported yesterday were Hen.
ry Temple, of Maxon, wilful murder,
for killing Robert Smallman John Bah
cock. for stealing S. J. Culp's mule
Roy Fergerson, for msliciously cutting
Joe Starr; George Day, for killing
Calvin Gary Mary Thomas, for killing
Lee Crawford; one action against Ed
Settle for cutting Martha Springer
was returned marked dismissed -
The grand Jury made another report
today and returned the following in
dictments: Tandy Reeves for selling a
stolen pistol to Alderman, second hand
dealer, for 35 cents Buck sten Ray
Taylor, for selling stolen fish to Law
renee James for $3.50; Charles Bry-
son, for striking 4. II. Wilson with
intent to kill; Matte Springer, for cut =
ting Della Humphrey; Henry Blue for
stealing Scott Overton's horse.
Henry Temple, who was indicted by
the grand jury for murder, as told
above, was delivered into custody this
morning and his attorneys Immediate
ly made a motion for bail. The mo-
toin will be heard tomorrow afternoon
at 4 O'Clock. Temple had been out on
$4,000 bond since the preliminary
herring.
The facts relative to the killing are
we'll known. Temple is owner of q
mill in the county, and Smsllman was
engineer. They were the best of
friends, but il Is alleged while drink
ing few weeks ago had quarrel over
closing down the mill at the regular
time and Smallman was stabbed sever
al times. He was brought to the city
and died few days later at the rail
road hospital His relatives employed
attorneys to assist III the prosecution,
aud after the preliminary trial, when
the accused was held on small bail,
the wife Of the dead man sued him for
SEQ, 900 damages for the death of her
husband, which suit is still pending.
1t is said that sandman was drunk
at the time of the trouble and had re.
turned TO the mill time or two to
run it, although it was after time for
closing it down, ana came back after
being taken home by friends. 1t was
then, it is said, Mr.. Temple attempted
TO induce him TO go back home when
Sandman drew a kuife and Mr.. Tenn.
Pile was forced to defend himself. As
the grand jury hears only one side OF
a case, Mr.. Temples friends think
that although he was indicted he will
be promptly acquitted when his own
side is heard.

The NEW LIQUOR LAW.

The Virginia House of Delegates
last Thursday adopted the report
of the conference committee on the
General Revenue bill. This bill
embraces the Mann liquor section.
which practically places prohibi-
ton over the larger part of the
State. The vote on the adoption
of the report, which carried with
1t the anti-saloon provision, was 30
10 81.
From the time 1t was introduced.
in the early part of the present
session, the Mann bill has excited
more controversy than any other
measure before the Legislature.
As introduced by judge Mann, of
Nottoway, it provided that license
10 sell liquor outside of towns of
500 inhabitants should be granted
only upon a petition signed by a
majority of the voters of the pre-
cinct in which the saloon is To be
established. As it is next TO i'm
possible for whiskey seller to
secure such petition. this practi-
cally imposes prohibition except
in towns of 500 inhabitants or over.
After an apparent defeat in COM
mittee, when the saloon men
thought the bill was killed. it was
suddenly reported as a section of
the General Revenue bill, incorpo-
rated in that measure as an amend
ment. This was passed by the
Senate, but the house refused to
adopt the bill as amended and re-
quested a conference. The confer
ence committee, with only one dis
senting vote, reported the bill with
the Mann provision. After another
sharp but decisive fight the bill
was adopted as a section of the
revenue act.
1t only requires Governor Mon
tague's signature to make it a law.
In hot debate over this bill on
March 20 its patron, Judge William
III. Mann, struck Senator Julian
Bryant, of Richmond, who had
accused Mann of being unfair in
his argument.

There seems To bc no danger that
any male relative of his will marry
an Italian Countess. The Ameri-
can girl i one of the most SUCCESS

continue to develop throughout the
twentieth. Her tendency to marry
titled foreigners is sometimes held
against her: but it Is the natural
consequence of her triumphs here.

enjoyed on this earth the station
which she enjoys in America Z
Why abandon such reality for a
title which. no doubt advantageous

individual cases differ. In one it
Is the taste for ariStocratic setting,
in another it Is uncongenial aSSocia-

the cause which Is too often over

meath these accidental reasons Is
the ideal justification, the benefit
which the expansion of the Ameri-
can woman brings to Europe. She
liberalizes her husband. She
teaches him and his companions
