ried out with one exception. Mayor
J. +. Rhodes of Athens, who was to
make the response to Mayor Myers
address of welcome, will not reach the

After each of the papers there will
be discussions, any member of the

most beneficial features of the meet

the dues for Blackshear, which has

ATTACKED BY
VICIOUS FELINE
MAN AND CHILD THE VICTIMS.
THREE MEN REQUIRED TO MAKE
CAT RELEASE ITS HOLD.

Family of Three Attacked While
Waiting for "a Car-ChiId Bitten
First and When the Father At
tempted to Drive 1t Of the Ami
NAL Buried Its Teeth in His An
kIe-Ax Handle Finally Secured
and the Cat Beaten to Death-In-
jured Had Wounds Cauterized
With Economical fury a black cat
attacked a man and a little child at
Charlton and East Broad streets late
Monday night, and it required the as
sistance of three men armed with clubs
to release the man writhing in pain
from the tearing of flesh by the mad
feline.
In the excitement Of the moment,
and in the haste of the relief party to
render all assistance possible, the
names of the man and child were not
learned.
After the cat had been killed the
man and child were assisted to Ash
tons drug store, at Liberty and Price
streets, where the wounds were eau
terized. Standing on the opposite cor
ner of the street crossing at about
1890 Monday night was Col. j. H.
Deveaux and two other colored men.
the party being on their way home
from a drill.
Woman Cried for Help.
Suddenly they were startled by the
cries of woman and looking across the
street, saw woman carrying towards
them, child in her arms and crying:
20, please help my husband. A cats
biting him. Its bit my child, too. Oh,
help! help'
For moment the men did not grasp
the trouble. for they did not see any
thing more exciting than man sitting
down on the curb. fastening across
the street, it was found that a large
black cat had buried it's teeth in the
mans ankle. just above his heel, and
that the man was holding the cat as
II to prevent it from tearing away the
flesh.
The only weapon was an umbrella,
in the hands of Col. Deveaux, who
brought the point down on the cats
neck and pinioned it to the ground.
Still the cat hung on like grim death,
and the man continued to call for help.
Beaten With AK Handle.
One of the men ran across the street
and secured an ak handle. Armed with
this, the cat was beaten and only when
dead was its hold released.
Freed from the teeth of the cat the
man appeared badly bewildered and
frightened as well. He was half-car-
ried to the drug store, where the wom-
an had already taken the child. The
clerk cauterized the wound without
charge, though the relief party Of
fered to pay the bill. 1t was found
that the flesh of the mans ankle was
badly lacerated. The injury to the
child was less severe.
From the statement of the woman,
she and her husband and child were
waiting for a car when the cat sprang
tiercely at the child. The father sought
to defend the child and was in turn
attacked the cat catching him in the
flesh just below the heel. So fierce
was the onslaught that the man was
unable to think of anything else ex-
cept to hold the feline. He was I'M
able to make the animal release its
hold.

TWO PLEAS OF GUILTY
IN SUPERIOR COURT
Cooker Williams and Charles Jack
SON Admit Guilt,


son Admit Guilt.
Two of the criminal cases which
were docketed for trial in the Super
ior Court this week have been dis
posed of by the defendants entering
pleas of guilty and throwing them
selves upon the mercy of the court.
One plead guilty to forgery and the
other to burglary.
Ed. alias Cooker" Williams plead
guilty to being concerned in the MAX
ing and attempted passing of a forged
check for 81 on the Liberty street
branch of the Citizens Bank. Judge
Cam sentenced him to pay a fine OF
$50 or in lieu Thereof to serve for nine
months on the changing.
Charles Jackson pleaded guilty to
burglary. The prisoner admitted that
he had forcibly entered the store of
Robert Holzendorf, and committed
larceny therefrom. Judge Cam lee
tured him severely and then imposed
a sentence of three years at hard la
Dor in the state penitentiary.

PRICES OF MEAT
PRACTICALLY SAME.
Somewhat Poorer Grade, However,
Is on the Market.

Somewhat Poorer Grade, However,
Is on the Market.
The strike of the meat packers en-
ployes has as yet had no great effect
on the price of meats in Savannah.
1t has resulted, however, in falling
off in the quality of meats, good meats
being very hard to secure. Mr.. John
F. May, secretary of the Butchers As
ISOLATION, who has just returned from
New York, in speaking about the mat
ter, said:
Il have been here so short a while
that / am not thoroughly familiar with
all the conditions that exist here. APP
parently, however, prices remain about
stationary, though the quality of the
meat to be had is not as high as that
on sale before the big strike COM
menced. These facts appear evident
in the short time that l have had to
look into matters.
Il was in New York when the cut
ters went out on strike, and the re-
suit has been that there is a scarcity
of meats in the metropolis. In Savan-
nah, however, do not believe that
the effect of the strike is felt so much
and with the exception of the slight
raining or in quality, I believe there
has been no change"
Inquiry at the store of Mr.. NJ. S.
Gardner secured the information that
prices were practically the same and
that thus far the local butchers had
been able to secure all the meats
necessary to meet the demand made
upon them.

ANOTHER ARREST MADE
FOR STATESB0R0 MURDERS

Will Rainey, who Was Implicated
by Paul Reed, Landed in Jail.
Will Rainey, the negro implicated by
Paul Reed, in his statement to Sher-
iff Hendricks last Saturday, which was
given in the Morning News Sunday,
has been arrested by Sheriff Hendricks
and is now held in the Statesboro
Jail in connection with the murder of
the Hodges family. That some negro
besides Reed and Cato were present
when the family was killed is prac-
tically certain, but there is no evil
dence except Reeds statement to inn
plicate Rainey.
Several times before Reed has i'm
plicated other negroes and it has since
been shown that they were not there.
The officers are doubtful as to whether
Reed is now telling the truth or not.
He still denies that he killed Mr..
Hodges or any of the family, but says
he was present and saw Cato and
Rainey kill them. Cato denies even
being there, but says Reed told him
that he had killed Mr.. Hodges and
his wife.

HEARSAY EVIDENCE
is NOT SUFFICIENT,
To Indict ThunderbOIt Management,
Says Grand Juror.

10 AhuICN IhunOeEDOAt management
Says Grand Juror.
"Hearsay evidence is not sufficient
grounds for returning an indictment"
said a member of the grand jury yes
terday in discussing the refusal of
the Superior Court grand jury to in
dict the Thunderbolt management.
The only evidence that the ministers
brought before us was purely hearsay.
They did not present one single fact
of the alleged violations that they
knew of their own knowledge. There
fore we did not indict."
When asked if any questions had
been asked the grand juror whom
Rev. A. NJ. Williams had said could
shed some light upon the subject the
juror replied: Matters of that kind
are secrets of the grand jury room,
and I cannot discuss them"
The ministers. as stated in the Morn
ing News yesterday, will make an
other attempt to secure an indictment
before the next grand jury. Evil
dence will be collected by outside par
ties. and they will go before the grand
Jurors and present it, Care will be
taken to avoid failure again on grounds
of hearsay evidence.

the government rests upon funda-
mental principles that are common to
all civilized races and nations Inc
question that now attracts the interest
of the leading schoolmen. is whether
it is not practicable to introduce moral
features into the common schools that
would not interfere with the national
equilibrium. The Ten Commandments
are hardly susceptible of misinterpre-'
tation and there are scholars who be-
lieve that a schooI-book could easily
be constructed that would embrace
those features of morality that are
common to all religions and that would
raise the tone of citizenship in the
rising generation.
God and the Moral Law in them
selves. and as finely condensed into the
two rules of action that have been
termed royal" and that express
mans duty towards the Supreme Being
and towards his neighbor, are part OF
American civilization and constitute
the true leaven of individual social
and national life. The necessity for
their definite impression upon educa-
ton is rapidly becoming an acknowl-
edged proposition.
