COrOner's Jury Investigated killing
of Lucius BurdeII.

W
An inquest was held at police head
quarters last night over the body OF
Lucius Burdell, the negro who died
from the effects of a pistol shot wound
received accidentally several days ago
at the residence of Lieutenant of Po-
lice Walter Fleming.
Burdell was shot with the revolver
that Lieut.. Fleming came very near
being shot with several weeks ago at
| headquarters, and the weapon is look
ed upon as a hoodoO. 1t has been put
aside by Lieut.. Fleming, and he will
never carry it again.
The coroner's investigation was held
at the request of Lieut. Fleming, as
the pistol which killed Burdell was in
the hands of his son, Walter whom
he wanted thoroughly exonerated.
jamie Gathers, who cooks for the
family, was the first witness examined.
She testified that she was in the kitch-
en- the day that Burdell was shot.
when / heard the shot fired" she
said. "Burdell was sitting at the table
eating his dinner. He rose and leaned
up against me and groaned. Mr.. Wal
ter, who was in the dining room, came
in and asked him if he was hurt.
When Burdell said he was Mr.. Wal
ter went out and got a doctor"
Mr.. Walter Fleming made the fol-
lowing statement to the jury: Il was
sitting by the fire in the dining room.
after having finished my dinner, when
Burdell came in. We talked for
while, and he walked over to the man
tel and picked up the gun, which was
lying there. 1t was the first time 1
had ever seen it. as It was not the
gun that father usually carried. Bur-
dell went into the kitchen to get his
dinner, and was sitting with his back
to me. He was on a direct line with
me and the open door.
Il broke the pistol, and as I thought,
sAatracted all of the cartridges.
wanted to see how the action of the pis-
tol was and layed it across my knee
and snapped it rapidly four times.
When / snapped it the fifth time it
went off, and l saw that Burdell had
been hit. / went to him at once, and
asked if he was hurt. He said that
he was, and / at once went for a doc
tor, not waiting to see where he was
hit. AS soon as the doctor came and
an examination was made | found that
the bullet had struck him in the back.
Il knew Burdell for years, as he
has been in our family. and there had
never been any feeling between us.
He stated to me that he knew that
the shooting was accidental. While he
was making his statement, Mr.. Flem-
ing was visibly effected, and seemed to
regret the accident exceedingly"
j. l.. Johnson. a friend of the dead
man, testified that he had called on
Burdell at the Georgia Intirmary, and
that Burdell had stated to him while
conscious, that he knew he was shot
accidentally, and he did not want them
to do anything with Mr.. Fleming
The jury returned a verdict that the
deceased came to his death by acct
dental shooting at the hands of Mr.
Walter Flaming.

LINE OF BOATS between
MACON AND HAWKINSVILLE
Matter Being Discussed by Macon
Board of Trade, Says Col. Quinn.


Board of Trade, Says Col. Quinn.
Col. James b. Quinn. in charge of
the United States Engineers for this
district, has returned from his inspec-
ton trip over the Ocmulgee river from
Macon to Hawkinsville. The Macon
Board of Trade accompanied Col.
Quinn. Though the water in the river
was at low stage, yet the trip clearly
demonstrated that the river was navi-
gable.
The Macon Board of Trade is discuss
ing a line of boats between Macon and
Hawkinsville. 1t was for this purpose
that they asked that certain improve
ments be made in the river, such as
deepening it at some places, and re-
moving snags and other distractions at
others. This work was done by Col.
Quinn, and the trip which has just
been completed proved that the river,
though very crooked. was navigable.
The Macon board seemed enthusiastic
for the line of boats. and Col. Quinn
regards it as probable that they will
take steps to establish it.

GEORGIA. DAY" IN
SAVANNAH SCHOOLS.
Pupils Will BE Reminded That
OgIethOrpe Landed Here Feb. IL.

OgIethOrpe Landed Here Feb. IL.
Beyond calling the attention of the
pupils to the fact that it is Georgia
Day next Friday, the day will not be
observed in the public schools of Sa-
vannah.
The scholars will be told something
about James Oglethorpe, and their
short while. They Will be told that
Feb. u. is the anniversary of the land
ing of James Oglethorpe. The day is
not legal holiday, although in some
parts of the state it will be observed
by the carrying out of elaborate pro-
grammos.
There are too many holidays now"
said Supt. Ashmore, land 1 am not
in favor of putting any more in the
calendar. If Georgia Day were a legal
holiday we should, of course, observe
it, but since it is not 1 do not see
why the day should be lost to the
school children. AS 1 said before we
have too many holidays now.
"a holiday is a day lost entirely
from the school year, and in many
cases if the schools remained in ses-
sion until the usual closing hour, the
children would have sufficient time to
attend any exercises which might be
held. In Savannah this is very evil
dent. The principal observances of
holidays of a patriotic nature here is
the parade of the military and the rem
dering of a programme of music and
addresses at night.
Believes in school Exercises.
Il do not believe" he continued, Gin
allowing the anniversary of the birth
of men who have done signal service
for their state and country, or about
whom the history of the country clus-
tiers, to depart unnoticed. believe that
some time, say an hour, should be
taken from the regular school exer-
cises and this devoted to instruction
concerning the man who is being hon
ored.
1.-TWO purposes are thus served: The
children are taught, by the same prin-
ciple which is in effect when a COM
plete holiday is granted, that the ma
ton and state is honoring the man. At
the same time they are taught some
thing about the man himself, what
he did, and why his name and services
are remembered. This latter part is
lost in most cases when school is sim
ply dismissed for the day.
Several Days Are Observed.
1--WE do this now on different occa-
sions. The day on which Columbus
landed is thus observed. The children
are taught the date and at the same
time what it is they are commemorate
ing. l believe that this plan would
be a good one with which to observe
Washington and Lees birthday, and
also days like Georgia Day.
I'VE shall hold something of this
nature on Georgia Day. The children
will be taught that this is the date on
which Oglethorpe landed at Savan-
nah. In the higher grades, where his
tory is studied more extensively, the
subject will be dwelt on at greater
length. But we will not observe the
day as a holiday"
At other places in the state schools
and colleges will hold exercises and
patriotic societies will observe the day
with special programmes. In some
cities the Daughters of the American
Revulotion have offered medals to be
competed for by the pupils in the pub
lie schools.
