Last night and today great
crowds of people have been stand
Ing around discussing the shooting
between VanCamp and Lowry,
which resulted In the death of Mr.
Lowry. So far as We can learn,
the people In the country seem to
sympathize with Mr.. Lowry. The
principal reason for this appears to
be on account of VanCsmp's rellg
ious opinions. They insist that he
Is an lnfdel, teaches in6delism and
has been quite iudust. ious In circu'
lating literature on the subject and
Is ever ready to argue for his be-
lief. FoI this reason they seem
to think he should be punished.
Mr.. Van Camp, as We understand
believes In "Darwinism" or
Evolution. We don't and never
expect to do so, but, under the
Constitution of the United States
and West Virginia, he has a per.
feet right to believe Darwinism or
any other kind of an ism and In
this belief he Is protected under
our laws, but he has no right to
teach such a religion In our public
schools, nor any other Our pub
lie schools are and should be,,non
partisan and .sectarlan. As we
stated yesterday Mr.. VanCamp de-
nies he taught infdelism, denies he
| Is an infdel but claims to hold
what he terms Liberal ideas
about theology.
For these reasons people who
live In the country are greatly pre-
iudiced against VanCamp and seem
to lose sight of the cause and result
of the shooting.
In the city the public opinion, SO
far as we can learn IS on the side
of VanCamp. They know moth
Ing of his religion and don't care.
They think Mr.. Lowry did wrong
In going to the school house where
VanCamp was attending to his own
business, and If the facts are as told
and published, think he was justi'
fed In shooting as he did and ought
to be cleared of any charge OF
murder.
There has been considerable dis.
cussion as to whether Mr.. Lowry
had a revolver In his pocket. As
we stated yesterday he did have
loaded revolver In In his pocket al
the time he was shot. DR.. Dye and
DR.. Kahle both confirm this story
and DR.. Kahle has the revolver, OF
did have 1t, yesterday, so there Is
no question about this being true.
Mr.. Lowry was not shot, as we
are informed, In the school house
lot but out In the public road In
front of his brother Franks house.
but he got there by running after
VanCamp who was running from
him, VanCamp demanding he re-
move his hand from bis revolver
pocket and when he refused to do
this, VanCamp shot.
Its a horrible tragedy. Both men
were sober, intelligent and good

OF
THE SHOOTING

citizens. Its a dreadful thing to
think of a man In the prime OF life
being shot down and killed In a few
moments of time. 1t Is sad for his
brothers and sisters who survive
him. Naturally. they sympathize
with their brother, and ought to do
so. Mr.. James Lowry, brother OF
the deceased employed RI Moore
to prosecute the matter. Every
body regrets the result Of this
quarrel, which was no doubt mostly
the result of the idle gossip OF the
nelghborhood. 1t ought to teach
the people In the future not to
carry tales.
On the other side the VanCamps
are equally as heart broken. The
father, brothers and sisters of Van
Camp have been here all day today
and yesterday. They regret and
sincerely deplore the tragedy and
are willing to do anything they can
do to remedy the wrong If any has
been done. Naturally they SYM
pathise with the SON and brother
and believe he simply shot to save
his life and had he not fired Mr..
| Lowry would have killed him.
Many reports are going the rounds
but we do not think the facts are
materially different from what we
related In yesterdays paper.
Coroner Kahle and the members
of the coroners jury met this morn
Ing according to adjournment oi
yesterday to hear the evidence In
the case In regard to the quarrel
and shooting. The witnesses failed
to appear except one, Frank Low
ry, a brother of the deceased. The
Coroner then adjourned the hear
Ing until I O'Clock this afternoon
and sent the constable to the coun
try for witnesses.

brought to the parlors In the un'
dertakiug rooms of W. F Rice and

Mr.. VanCamp Is suli under
guard In the city jail unG,t the
postofice Fand Is being closely
guarded. No formal complaint ha:
been made against him as yet by
any personl and we understand
none will be made until after the
coroners jury returns Its verdict.
The cornoners jury met In the
up stairs of the City Building thi:
afternoon and after some delay
proceeded to hear the evidence In
the case. The roor was crowded
to almost the sufication point. The
Review has a stenographer presen

the witnesses but the trial wa

we will not be able to publish the
evidence until tomorrow when we
will print 1t in full and exactly a.

Wright, as comptroller general of the
state of Georgia petition for perma-
nent injunction to prevent the collec-
ton of a franchise tax.
The decision is against the state,
and unless reversed by some higher
court means that the state is forever
enjoined from collecting franchise
tax from the Georgia railroad
When the franchise tax act was
passed in 1902, Comptroller General
Wright made an effort to collect such
a tax from the Georgia railroad. The
railroad declined to pay the tax on
the ground that it was exempted from
all taxes by it's charter granted by the
state legislature in 1888 the only pro-
vision being that the company should
pay annually to the state one-half of
one per cent of the net earnings.
Comptroller Wright contended that
the franchise act, repealed all acts ex-
cepting railroads from taxation, so
far as a franchise tax was concerned.

with very few exceptions the coun-

an interesting story.
The highest county tax rate in the
state yet reported is that of Coweta,
which is 10 G0-1O0 mills, while johnson
and Mcintosh follow on it's heels
with tax rates of 10 mills. On the
other hand, the lowest rate yet report
ed is that of Clinch county, which is
2 mills.

To Raise Campaign Funds.

George Foster Peabody, Of New
York, treasurer of the democratic ma
tional committee, has written Mayor
Herman Meyers and Miles Belare, of
Savannah, and r. r. Maddox. Of At
lanta, asking those gentlemen to as
sist in raising funds for the national
campaign. They are wanted to can
vass Georgia for funds.
None of the gentlemen has accept
ed. They have written, suggesting
that it would be right and proper for
the state democratic committee 10
take the matter up
The three gentlemen desire it I'M
derstood that they sanction the plan
for raising funds in Georgia for the
nional campaign, but think that the
work should be conducted through the
committee.
Mr.. Peabody's letter says, in part:
GAS you are we'll aware, the demo-
cratic party has no favored or protect
ed interests to whom it may turn for
a campaign fund, and must rely upon
Contributions from patriotic citizens"
According to dispatch from ST..
Louis, Georgia eclipsed all her sis
ter states in the brilliancy of her
celebration at the fair. President
Francis stated to Governor Terrell at
the close of the festivities that no
state in the union had executed such
brilliant program or attracted to
the fair such a magnificent crowd as
did Georgia.
The days celebration was brought
TO a brilliant conclusion at night with
reception at the Georgia. state
building. From to II o'clock "Suth-
erland presented an enhancing scene.
Fully a thousand Georgians were re-
ceived during the evening.
The fremen's drum corps created
a sensation everywhere it went, and
it took in the entire grounds and
paraded down all the principal streets
of st. Louis. No single organization
of its character attracted such con-
spicuous attention.
Atlanta played an important part in
the Georgia celebration and when
Hon. G. E. Dunbar paid glowing trib-
ute to her in his grafton, he precipi-
tated a demonstration that lasted
many minutes.
