SENTINEL IS COMMENDED
FOR USING HIS BAY0NET

At the request OF Capt. F. NJ. Cochran,
OF Company ID, TO which command both
Privates Clements and Vaughn belonged,
the following official order of Col. z. f.
POmeroy. regarding the wounding Of a
private with a bayonet by a sentinel at
ST. Simons, is given publicity. The gen
eral order follows:
ST. SIMONS. Ca. July %, 1sO9.-Gen-
eral Order No. 9.-The commanding Of
hcer deplores the unfortunate wounding.
with bayonet, of Private d. c. Vaughn,
of Company I, by a sentinel In the line OF
his duty, on the night of July a, at this
camp, and II is a source of much NORTH
cation that a member of this company
should so far forget himself as to resist
a sentinel and attempt to escape.
I'm view of the injuries, which are re-
garded as sufficient punishment, no furth-
er action will be taken, but the conduct Of
Private Vaughn cannot be too severely
censured.
Private Clements, of Company d, the
sentinel. did his full duty, and his con-
duct Is commended.
by order Of Colonel Pomeroy.

100000 SHAFT PROPOSED
TO SOUTHERN HEROES

For the erection Of a monument at the
cost of 10000 on the capitol grounds to
commemorate the fame of the Confed-
crates. bill will probably be introduced
I'm the general assembly this week.
1t is suggested that the Davis monument
at Richmond, Va, be used as design,
erecting a towering granite monument,
and placing at the corners bronze figures,
life size. representing respectively the in
fantryman, the artilleryman and the sail
or, and on the top the figure Of a south
ern woman holding a wreath In her out
stretched arms. s
WOULD BEAUTIFY GROUNDS.
The monument would not only be lift
ing its shaft in commemoration of the
dead heroes, but would add materially TO
the appearance Of the capitol grounds.
The Lexington cemetery, at Lexington,
KY, is regarded as the most beautiful
in the south, and the most striking fea-
ture Of the grandeur of the grounds is
the magnificent monument at the grave
Of Henry Clay.
This monument was erected long after
the death of this illustrious statesman,
but the space of time between his death,
and its erection, when his grave was
no more strikingly marked than any 9TH
er. has long been forgotten, since the
beautiful monument was erected several
years ago.
II this monument is erected here It will
honor the memory of 100000 heroes and a
long list Of illustrious leaders, whose
names follow:

This accounts for the automobile rad

now to invent flying omnibusses' or ar

ourselves with aerial express wagons TO
annihilate the hindrances OF space and

Every day there are exhibitions OF

Business is likely to remain in a some
what stagnant condition until the tariff
agitation in Washington is stopped" said
General Manager L. Green, of the South
ern railway, at the Piedmont hotel this
morning. Mr.. Green is in the city for two
or three days, and while on a general
tour of the road, came to. Atlanta to
look after the changes recently made in
the freight department here. He said that
he believed that railroad men generally
were satisfied with the business outlook
for the coming fall and winter, but were
in no manner enthusiastic. and then he
condemned congress for the tariff agita-
ton.
I'VE have a large tannery in North
Carolina" he continued, but we certs My
do not know what steps to take in
business way until we know what will be
done about the duty on hides 1t is that
way all along the line, and a general in
activity is sure TO accompany these agi-
tations in congress. We thought we had
the entire matter settled, but Mr.. Taft
came along and reopened the whole ques-

Tinsley and James Pope, a railway con-

PRISON BOARD WILL
NOT BE ABOLISHED

Efforts to abolish the state prison COM
mission have failed, at least so far as
the present session Of the legislature is
concerned.
A bill by Mr.. White Of Screven, design
ed to do away with the commission, was
tabled in the house penitentiary commit
tee Monday. This action was taken on
motion OF Mr.. Vinson Of Baldwin.
Though attracting little notice because
Of the near-beer agitation and the Nc
Lendon matter, this bill came as an
echo Of last years legislative turmoil when
the prison system of Georgia carried the
general assembly into an extra session
and ended in charges that were nothing
short OF a revolution.
At that time, IT will be remembered,
there was serious talk of abolishing the
commission. Nothing definite, however,
was then done.
Mr.. Whites bill renewed the fight on
the commission and contemplated its wip-
ing-out. But a failure OF the measure
10 get recognition before the committee
means no doubt that for this session of
the legislature nothing further will be
done on the matter.
