DECISION ON IMPORTS.
Philippine Sugar Gets the Benefit of
 Drawback on Reshpment.

Washington, August 31.-The Attor- ney General has rendered an opinion at the request of the treasury depart ment, in which he holds in effect that the materials brought into the United States from the Philippine Islands may be used in the manufacture of articles for exportation to foreign countries with benefit of drawback under the drawback provision of the tariff act of 1897. Under this ruling 90 per cent of the duties paid on the materials coming from the Philippines when the manufactured articles are exported to any foreign country have the benefit of drawback, the word imported" in the tariff act being interpreted to in clude shipments from the Philippine islands by reason of the several tariff laws relating to these islands.
 The question directly at issue was whether sugar brought from the Phil ippines to the United States could be used in the manufacture of syrup and exported to Europe with the benefit of drawback. The new ruling holds in the affirmative.

OLD FEUD ENDS
 IN BLOODSHED
Two Young Men at RogersvlIe Meet.
 on Street and Murder Follows.

Courtland, August 31-(Special.) )-News cones from Rogersville, a little village twelve miles from this place, and across the Tennessee river, in Lauderdale coun- ty, of a horrible homicide that occurred there yesterday. For some time past there has existed bad blood between a man named Lamb and young Futon, O son of Constable Thomas Futon. The cause of the trouble dates back almost d year, when there was difficulty between the parties, resulting in a shooting scrape at the house of Futon.
 It is said that Lamb was a drinking character and for some real or imaginary wrong went to Tutons house and opened fire on him with a shotgun. The fire was returned, but no one was hit, and the difficulty was thought to have been patched up.
 The report has 1t that yesterday Lamb again got under the influence of whisky and went gunning for Futon. He brought his gun to Rogersvile, and was seen with it at several places in the town. Futon got his gun and the parties met.
 Futon fired first, it is said, this time, and at the fire or the gun Lamb dropped and Futon then walked up to him and discharged the other barrel, striking Lamb in the head and killing him instant ly. The first shot would have proved fatal. as the entire load of shot entered Lambs side and death would have been the result in a few moments.
 Futon gave himself up and his pre- iiminary trial will take place in few days. Hon. George P Jones of Florence has been retained for the defense.
 Both of the parties to the tragedy were well known and liked in the community, and both of them have lived in the same neighborhood for a number of years. Tutons father was only defeated a few votes for sheriff in the last election.

Better Water SupnlY.

Columbus Ga, August S1.-(special)- After an Investigation extending through a period of four months, and including the boring of an artesian well, a contract between the udson Engineering and Con tracting company of New York and the water board of Columbus has become ef- fective whereby the company undertakes to supply the city with five million gal Ions of artesian water daily.

ment, than the modern Grape-Nuts,
four heaping teaspoons of which is suf.
fcient for the cereal part of a meal,
and experience demonstrates that the
user is perfectly nourished from one
meal to another.
Il am convinced that the extensive
and general use Of high class foods Of
this character would increase the term
Of human life, add to the sum total of
happiness and vers considerably i'm
