Election Next Monday.

The election on the question of ratify.
ing the water and light franchise passed
by city council, will take place next Mon
day. Both of the franchises are pub
lished in full in this issue of The Herald,
and no voter will have any excuse for be-
ing ignorant as to their provisions. All
qualified electors can vote in this election.
The qualifications for a voter are: resi-
dence in the State for two years, the
county one year, and the town four
months. This does not apply to ministers
and teachers.
There should be full vote polled.
This is an important matter, one in which
we are all interested, and there should be
full and free expression of opinion. We
use the word free advisedly. Every man
should express his opinion by his ballot
fearlessly and without regard to what
other people say or think. Let the YER
dict of the people be registered fairly and
intelligently, and no one will have reason
to complain. Don't be misled by what
opponents of the ordinances tell you, but
vote on your judgment. With fair and
unbiased expression from the people all
of us ought to be satisfied. We will be,
no matter what the result is.

HEIGHT Of Forrest Statute Makes Handling
Difficult.

SAVANNAH, GA., Feb, 27.-The eques-
trian statute of Gen. Nathan Bedford For
rest, the great Confederate cavalry leader,
has not arrived at Memphis as erroneous
ly stated, but is in the railway yards here,
having arrived last Tuesday by steamer
from New York, whence it was received
from Paris, where it was cast.
The statute WAS not sent by rail from
New York because of its great height. 1t
is more than 13 feet high in its crate and
the railroads would not receive it, being
unable to transport it through tunnels. 1t
is said that the road that received it here
may find it impossible to get it under
bridges.

SKINNER RELEASED ON BOND.
Peculiar Circumstances Preceding Killing Of
Miller D. Anderson Brought Out at Hearing.

Peculiar circumstances preceding Milling OF
Miller D. Anderson Brought Out at Hearing.
BARNwELL, March 25.-Mr. James q.
Skinner, who killed Mr.. Miller D. Ander.
son day before yesterday near Dunbar
ton, applied this morning for bail before
Judge D. A. Townsend. The testimony
that was taken at the inquest, together
with numerous af1davits, was read and
commented upon by the attorneys, when
the judge announced that he would grant
bail, which was fixed at the sum of $500.
From some of the afldavits, it seems
that in January Mrs. Anderson was call
ing in friendly way on Mrs. Skinner,
her neighbor; that Mr.. Anderson, learn
ing that his wife was out calling on Mrs.
Skinner, wrote to his wife to come home;
that he did not want her to call on such
people. This note offended the Skinner
family who, subsequently, when they met
MI. Anderson in Dunbarton, refused to
speak to him. This enraged Mr.. Ander-
son, who used such gross and insulting
language that Mr.. Skinner demanded Of
him retraction, and this brought on
fstcuff, wherein Mr.. Anderson was
severely thrashed. {
A number of witnesses swore that Mr..
Anderson threatened to take Mr.. Skim
ner's life and that these threats were
communicated to Mr.. Skinner.
Defendant states in his affidavit that
on morning of homicide MI. Anderson
was at Dunbarton; that in order to AVOID
him he arranged to drive to his farm; that
he got his gun and some shells that had
been loaded by some friends that had
been on visit to him, and took his little
nephew in the buggy with him. That
while on the way he saw buggy in front
of him; that he did not know whose bug
gy it was until be had driven up to it
when Mr.. Anderson called to him tand
said: sYou took advantage of me before;
we'll settle it now," and drew his gun,
when defendant fired first. Defendants
nephew swears to the same thing.
Mrs. Anderson, wife of deceased, was
in the buggy at the time deceased was
shot. She says Mr.. Skinner overlook
them; that he drove close to the buggy
in which they were riding and, calling
to Mr.. Anderson, said: "Do You want to
see me-" and without another word shot
him. With her dead husband at her side,
her lonely drive back to Dunbarton was,
pathetic in the extreme. $50
Numerous afadavits were produced set-
ting out the character for peace OF Mr.
Skinner and the rowdy character OF MI.
Anderson. At the June term the case
will probably be tried. The. community
is shocked by this unfortunate homicide.

and South, from friends and admirers and
ex.foes alike.

ex.foes alike.
Colonel s. w. Fordyce, an ex-oficer
in the Federal army, sent his check for
$3.50, with thanks for the opportunity to
contribute, and added: "Much more could
be said in praise of this wonderful soldier.
In war as terrible and masterful as lion;
in peace gentle, mindful and considerate
of the feelings and prerogatives of others.
1t was my good fortune and pleasure to
have known him well from 1865 to II. I
esteemed him as much for his worth as a
citizen in peace as feared him in war.
"Never did general recognize the ine-
vitable and lay down his sword with a
sadder heart, and never did a fallen hero
rise to the sublimity of loyal and patri'
otic citizen more earnestly and more hon
estly.
"The present historian has recorded
and the future will record the fact: Gen.
Forrest accomplished more with less re-
sources at his command than any other
soldier or officer on either side in our
civil war.
II have long since been on record as
favoring the erection of monuments all
over the South in memory of dead heroes
and want to say of him, as I said OF
them, that while the monument itself can
but feebly emphasize the veneration felt
by the living for the dead, yet the mem
ory of his brave deeds and wonderful
achievements will be cherished in the
hearts of his countrymen, and will live in
other lands and speak in other tongues
and to other times than ours"
And now word to the rising genera.
ton: Some of you when the civil war and
it's warriors are mentioned turn your
heads aside and say, that is "rot." Respect
if you cannot venerate these old veterans
who struck for your homes and firesides
and remember that they once bore the
imprint of q mothers kiss on theil
brows, though wrinkled now, and though
harmless and some of them helpless and
homeless beings, they are"God's immort'
ais" and that if He wills it for you to
abide here few years longer there will
appear "silver threads among the gold''
in your hair, too. As for the writer, an
'old confed," the world owes him nothing
as far as past pleasures are concerned,
having had his dividend of its goods,
thoug b his life may have been an erring
one, and it is o matter of indifference to
him how soon he is laid in its bosom.
For fear of being charged with literary
piracy, he will add that only "Moses,
Plato and Milton cleaned nothing from
books and spoke naught but what was in
their own minds" all writers since ever
penning their recollections from the
Bible, books, papers and parchments and
"dressing" them up little call them the
children of their own brain.
