Sunday afternoon the shooting and
fighting around the church grew so
general and dangerous that white peo-
pie living near complained to Sheriff
Stow. The latter, with Chief Of Po-
lice Mize, went to the church just
at night, quellsd the riotous conduct
with some difficulty and arrested Rich
Harber of Walhalla, s. c., who started
the shooting.
The sheriff started to the city with
the negro, but before reaching the cor
porate limits. the prisoner showed
fight, and sprang from the buggy with
the intention of running, but Sheriff
Stow caught him and a terrible fight
ensued. After several minutes Har-
ber was beaten into submission and
landed in jail.
John Cape, a white man, lives about
one mile from the church. During
Saturday night, drunken negro, Thos.
Browner, who lives near Layonia, went
to the home of Cope, and demanded
possession Of the house. After some
words, Cope secured his shotgun and
fred at the negro, but failed to hit
him. Having no more shells, Cope
took his wife and children to the home
of neighbor.
Returning to his. house Immediately
with several white friends, they found
Browner in bed asleep. The negro re.
fused to surrender and a general fight
ensued. After several shots were

tanned, and the negro was. beaten into

painful injuries.
The excitement near the church was
at a high pitch and some Of the white
people armed themselves in anticipa-
ton Of further trouble.

| not a single Georgia military com

United States army organization. nat
urally caused some comment anon:
those interested in the national guart
of Georgia. and numerous question:

Inquiry at the oce of Adjutant Gen
eral A. J. Scott at the capitol de
yeloped the fact that the statement
was correct. There are none Of the
Georgia commands, which, at tina:
time, conformed to the regular army
requirements.
But in this Georgia was not alone
The military organizations of only ten
states had at the time the adjutant
generals report was drawn, conformed
to the regular army organization, and
in only two states was this conforma
ton complete. Colorado and Florida had
conformed, in part; Missouri, with the
exception of headquarters and the hos
pital corps, and like exceptions were
noted in Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Wash
ington and Wisconsin, Oklahoma and
Oregon were the only two in which
conformation was complete.
Georgia troops would have been
much nearer in conformity with Uni.
ted States army requirements had ii
not been for the fact that after they
fought they had all the necessary law.
other requirements were put upon
them by the war department.
In 1906" said Adjutant General
Scott, "a commission drew a code for
Georgia and submitted it the secretary
of wal, who referred it to the war col
lege. 1t was approved with one slight
exception, returned and enacted into
law by the general assembly of 1905.
I'm June, 1907, we were notified by
the war department thatrour organiza-
ton did not conform to that Of the
regular army. The previous approval
of our code by the department was
ignored, and when we requested it, the
necessary additional legislation was
suggested to US. That was drawn up
in the shape Of bill, which was
passed at the recent session Of the
general assembly and went into effect
on October 1. We now have all the
law necessary, and the only thing yet
to be accomplished is to bring about
the proper organizations under it.
1.-THE Georgia troops will be in full
conformity with the requirements of
the national government by January
l, 1905"
Georgia's regimental organization Is
now In conformity with the govern
ment requirements, with the exception
of the hospital corps, which some Of
the regiments are lacking.
It is required that each regiment
shall have twelve companies, require
ment which is lacking in all the Geor-
gia regiments. Each regiment must
have a hospital corps; some are now
without it. Each infantry company
must have IS enlisted men as min.
imum, each light artillery battery 1873
and each heavy artillery company 63.
Few companies have yet conformed
to these requirements as to minimum
numbers.
. The question naturally arises as to
where the other companies necessary
to fill out the regiments are to come
from.

Nave Revoked Consent.

Yesterday Mir. Luis Proto, Of ua firm of Proto Brothers, was in i,on , the Cocospera ranche, having nome Thursday evening, returning ooaiu this morning. The gentle ~ n5sn relates that since his last visit .n l Nogales he has "had the time of hi. life" fighting fire on the ranche. He was engaged eight days in al. most constant battle against the raoing flames, risking his life re- neatedlv and in constant danger ppu the time. The devouring flames ran over more than fifty thousand acres of land on the Co., cospera grant, destroying thous' ands of fine pine trees, valuable for their timber, beside destroying inc grass upon great ranges.
 These fires MT. Proto attributes to the carelessness of prospectors and hunters, who have been too careless altogether with. their. camp fires. In the past the firm of Pro- to Brothers have been very liberal with prospectors and hunters, giv- jng them at all times full and free consentto prospect and hunt over the Cocospera and Santa Teresa grants. Now they think they have arrived at a time when they should draw the line in this matter, and for the sake of safety they feel that they will have to draw it at abso' lute prohibition. So henceforth they will prohibit hunting anc prospecting upon the Cocospera and Santa Teresa grants.
