DEATH RATE IN ARMY.
Annual Report of Surgeon General
O'Riellv For Fiscal Year.

Annual Report of Surgeon General
O'Rlelly For Fiscal Year.
Washington, Oct An increase in
the death rate for the army from 13.94
per thousand in 1901 to 15.49 per
thousand in 1902 is shown in the an
nual report of Surgeon General R. M.
O'Re1lly for the fiscal year ending june
30. This increase is attributed to
cholera, which caused 3.54 deaths per
1000. A slight improvement appears
In the admission rate for disease and
injury.
Discussing other features of the
health of the army, Surgeon General
0'Reilly's report says:
The enrolment of about 5000 ma
tive Filipino scouts has added a new
racial element to the army 1t becomes
racial element to the army, it becomes
a matter of much. interest to study
the comparative interests of the dis
ease on them and on our white and
colored troops. For the whole army
at home and abroad during the year
1902 the white troops showed an ad-
mission rate of 1,706.SS per 1000 and
death rate of 14.40. The negro
troops had 1914 admissions and
Fall deaths per 1000 and the Malay
scouts 1707.71 admissions per LOGO
and 2404 deaths. The white race
therefore gave the lowest figures in
sickness and much the lowest mortal
ity. The black race led in both, al
though the Malay closely approached
1t in the death rate.
Freedom of the Filipino from the
vice of drunkenness is strikingly shown
when we find that out of 5000 men
only three individuals were treated
for alcoholism in one year and that
while white soldiers were admitted to
sick report on account of their own
conduct in the use of alcohol, 24.28
per 1000 and colored troops at the
rate of 1904 per 1000. Admissions
to sick report from alcoholism in 1902
were slightly n excess of ire number
for 1901 The total number of $3.50
cases equivalent to 2265 per 1000
strength occurred. It is impossible
not to attribute large part of the
steadily Increasing venereal disease of
the army to the loss of the canteen,
where the soldier, if he so desired
could get his beer throughout the
month, but was not subjected to the
temptations to intemperance and vice
now attendant upon the expenditure
Of a full month'se pay at the low re-
sorts infesting the outskirts Of our
military reservations.
A slight diminution of insanity occur
red in the army during 1902 There
were 1873 new cases, equivalent to the
admission rate of Iii per 1000, which
Is almost identical with the rate for
the decade 1891 to 1900.

AMERcUs GA. THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER s. 1908
AT CAMP YOUNG.
Troops Pass In Review Before Division
STAFF.

Camp Young. West Point, KY, Oct
TEN thousand troops with spiel
and span aoooutrements, passed in re
view before the division staff, the gov
ernors of Kentucky and Adiana, the
visiting army officers and a great
crowd of spectators today The dt
vision review offered practically the
only thing in the way of dress parade
and show on the program for the com
bined maneuvers.
All else heretofore has been hard
but instructive work in the battle for
nation, the maneuvers covering a wide
stretch of territory, making it impos-
sible for the civilian to see more than
a small portion Of the general opera
tons. To this disadvantage was
added the further one of the inability
OF the average person to understand
the object of the movements. Conse-
quently tn ework of the soldiers has
been but little hindered by spectators
"a feature much appreciated by those
playing the game of war-and one
which will go far toward recommend
Ing West Point as a site for a perma-
nent maneuver ground.
All the troops in camp took part in
today's review, the brightly polished
equipment, the music of the bands and
the bodies of men marching past the
reviewing point in close order max
Ing a splendid spectacle With the
commanding officer and his staff at
the reviewing point were Governors
Durbin, of Indiana, and Governor Beck
ram, of Kentucky, the former accom-
panied by his personal aides and the
latter by many members of his staff
The review demonstrated that while
the state troops participating in the
maneuvers have more than average
proficiency in battle formations, they
are still better in close order drill,
and the manual of arms.

TRIAL OF TILLMAN
AT LEXINGTON, S. G.
Editorials From Columbia
State Read In Court,
sIcK JUROR HAS RECOVERED.

Counsel For the Defense Renews Mo
ton Made Early In the Trial anc
Enters Upon Its Presentation of the
Case.
Lexington, S. c., Oct. THE tria
OF James H. Tillman was resumed to-
day, the juror, Milton Sharpe, who has
been sick, having improved sufficient
ly to permit hfm to be In court.
Ire state rested without the intro
ductton of further testimony and the
defense entered at once upon the pre-
sentation Of its case
Counsel for the defendant first re-
newed the motion made early in the
trial that the court instructed the jury
to disregard all testimony given by
witnesses for the state showing a
weapon in the possession of the defen-
dant prior to the shooting. The court
ruled the testimony to be competent.
Editorials from Ire Columbia State
referring to the defendant were read
by counsel for the defense and offer
ed in evidence. The court in ruling
upon a point in controversy stated to
the jury that the purpose for which
1he editorials were being read to the
Jury was to show the feelings that ex-
listed between the defendant and N. G.
Gonzales.
The first witness called by the de-
tense was T. D. Mitchell, who lived in
Columbia, in 1909. He testified that
he had a conversation with N. G.
Gonzales, relative to ]. H. Tillman. re-
citing what he stated Gonzales said
concerning the defendant. The wit
ness said, among other things:
He said l can slap his face and he
would not resent it, and he said If he
over bats his eyes at me I'll fill him so
full OF lead that he will never tote 1t
off"
The witness said that he subsequent
ly told Mr.. Tillman what he stated Mr..
Gonzales said to him. On cross-ex-
animation he said he forced the con-
VersaEion on Mr.. Gonzales.
"A" IA p1OW0tS, VINO formerly was
a street car conductor in Columbia.
testified that during the summer OF
1902, Mr.. Gonzales and three other
men were riding on his car. He said
that while he was collecting fares they
were discussing politics and that he
heard Mr.. Gonzales say If Mr.. TILL
man was elected, he never would be
seated. Witness added that he heard
Mr.. Gonzales say he would kill the
rascal"
On cross-examination witness said
he had not told of this until tive
months ago, and said that he first
wrote it to the defendant
P. W. Hughes, of Warrenton, stated
tina he and some other men, naming
them, met Mr.. Gonzales on Main
street in Columbia, during the cam
pa1gn of 1902. Witness said he asked
Mr.. Gonzales at that time If he Ill
not think he was doing Mr.. Tflfman a
great injustice and that Mr. Gonzales
replied that he would do greater in
justice after election, "and it ought to
be lead"

JUDGE PEBBLES RoAsre STATE.
Charged Prosecution With Browb eat
ina Witnesses.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct THE two
principal witnesses for the defense in
the trial OF Ernest Haywood for the
B. Hocutt, a clerk here, and Mack
Fuller, a negro hack driver.
These testified to having seen Skin.
ner strike Haywood and back away
about 10 feet, Skinner with his hand
under his coat as If trying to get ort
pistol, and to Haywoods shooting
then.
Hocutt testified ON the habeas COR
pus hearing that Skinner had advAno-
ed on Haywood after the first shot.
He changed this and said 1t was be-
fore the first srot, just after he sprang
back.
Fuller, the negro, testified there was
no gesticulation between the two men.
but that Skinner struck after a few
words.
Walter Thompson, a country boy of
IL years, testified that Skinner put his
hand under his coat after striking
Haywood.
George Burst, negro, swears the
men talked for ten minutes; were
standing ON the parapet and skinner
had ris back to- Haywood when Gle
frs shot was fired.
All other witnesses have testified
that the men were off the parapet and
on the sidewalk at the south end of the
postoffice.
Clerk of the Court Russ and his
clerk, Register, testified that Haywood
had left their office only two or three
minutes when they heard the shoot
ing.
The sensation of the day came when
Judge PEBBLES sent the jury out and
said he wanted to express his disap-
probation of the manner of cross-ex-
animation by the state, who seemed to
want to browbeat and tear, down the
character of the witnesses for the de.
Tense.
State counsel declared their ques-
ions were bona Ade and that they
had reputable witnesses TO substenti-
ate charges made against Hooutt ard
Schmitz.
Judge PEBBLES then said If the state
had valid reason, the questions could
be continued. He only interfered, he
said, to protect witnesses.
