interesting Question Between Georgia

Atlanta, June 1.--(Special.)-An interest
ing question involving the boundary line
between Georgia and South Carolina, has
been submitted to Attorney General John
c. Hart, who is now investigating 1t.
short time ago Louis b. Magid, who
has a silk farm at Tallulah Falls. bought
the Tugalo river. the dividing line between
South Carolina and Habersham county.
Georgia. Tnil. purchase was made on the
assumption that the Georgia line is on
the South Carolina side of the river at
low water mark
South Carolinian named Ellard living
just across the river, also bought part
of it from another party for $500, and
claims ownership refusing 10 part with 1t
for less than $4,000. Ellard claims that
the line IS in the middle of the stream and
not on the South Carolina side.
Attorney General Hart is now studying
the matter with a view to locating the
boundary line. He has gone clear back to
the treaty of Beaufort made in 1877, and
while he has found an act of the legisla-
ture confirming the findings of the COM
missioners of both states regarding this
matter, he has not yet located any record
as to what the commissioners did. The So

Louisville, juno 1.-Mr. Justice Harlan
the guest tonight at banquet given in
honor of his I'D birthday by the Louisville
Ear association. Among the speakers in
addition to Mr.. Harlan was Judge Horace
III. Lurtbn of Nashville. Mr.. Harlan. who
is a native OF Kentucky, responded to
the toast, MY Old Kentucky Home" say
ing in part:
viii it be said that there are some
things in The history of Kentucky which
but that might be said of any people.
Every people will now and then depart or
permit departures from the strict rule,
of propriety and do or permit to be done
things of which they will in the end be
ashamed This always will be the case.
No people are perfect. and no people can
always be kept under control. All must
admit that some Kentuckians have been
to free in what a friend of mine called
'pistolic action All viii admit that now
and then in its history there has been
in some parts of cur state a failure to
administer the law with promptness and
firmness, so that men who will by reason
of crime should have forfeited their lives
or their liberty, nave been permitted to
go unpublished.
But such a state of things has existed
at times In every state. Yet no people
should despair of establishing the reign
of law and order in their midst Liberty
regulated by law is the basis of our
institution. When the law perishes, liberty
will perish. What / claim for Kentuck-
lans as a mass is that in all the qualities
that go to make up true, genuine manhood.
