have been fired by some careless
boy in the neighborhood. Mr.. Kerr
stated Monday that he has no en-

been of so small a calibre.

O'clock last evening when Amelia

IN a fist encounter with Miss Nora

It seems as though Miss Schuster
made some unkind remark about the
colored woman while the latter was
passing her on the street. At any rate
hat is the claim made by Mrs. Rob

ever. that her colored opponent only
thought that she was making fun OF
her which was a false impression.
Nevertheless fight resulted. The
colored woman who was much larger
and stronger than her white oppon-
ent, Was fast getting the better of
the encounter when the north-bound
street car happened along. Conductor
Frank Bender spied the pair of pu-
gilists and hurried to the scene. After
greatly endangering his life. he man

Later Miss Schuster appeared in

against Mrs. Robinson charging her
with assault and battery. The latter

Terry had killed fellow being in
duel.
When these words were uttered by
Toombs, however, they probably ex-
pressed the sentiments of a majority of
the senators of the United States. There
were probably few senators at the time
who, if they did not approve the code,
would have been bold enough to have
denounced 1t.
This speech, which was in thorough
accord with the manifest spirit of the
time when it was uttered, is a moral
milepost from which we can measure
the great advance made in the popular
opinion on the subject of dueling in
comparatively short time. If a member
of either house of congress were to
apologize in a speech in the capitol for
the practice of duelingf it would be the
death knell to his political ambition. 1t
would mark him as a victim of that
uncompromising public opinion which,
in every part of the United States, has
set the seal of its condemnation on
dueling and abolished the code.
This sudden and almost universal
abolition of a custom so entangled with
the highest conceptions of honor, so
firmly fixed in social ethics, and SO
softened as to the real features of it's
barbaric cruelty by gentleness and
courtesy that preserved the romance of
medieval knighthood, is indeed remark
able. 1t is probably the best single
proof that could be offered of the ad-
vance of the American people in good
morals and true culture.
However this may be- it may never
be possible to fully and satisfactorily
consolidate the multiform elements and
influences that have led up to the al
most perfect condemnation and eradi-
cation of this barbaric courtesy
throughout the land. And, as surely
as Cervantes smiled away the chivalry
of Spain, just so surely has the sun
that once shone so radiantly round an
institution that should never have had
a place in civilized society gone out for
ever.
To be sure the death knell of the
institution has not quite sounded
the south, and it is no
small wonder that the foes of the
''custom" have succeeded so admirably
as they have in making the fashionable
generally odious and no.

II HE code duello, which was SO

IN HE code duello, which was SO
much a custom in the United
States even half a century ago,
and which a few generations before
had been so generally recognized in
Europe that it seriously decimated the
official ranks of some of it's armies
has pretty nearly reached a state of
decadence in many civilized countries
and throughout America and Great
Britain it may be said to have prac-
tically ceased to exist, especially in the
latter country To be sure, it is main
tanned in a modified form in the Ger
man universities where the so-called
duels amount to what may be properly
termed a brutal sort of pastime-rare-
ly resulting in anything more serious
than a cash across the scalp or face
while a great majority of duels among
the French are noted for their blood
lessness, Notwithstanding that at in
tervals a combatant is killed. 1t is
seventy odd years since dueling was
completely checked in Great Britain,
and this demise may be accounted for
from the fact that the survivor of
fatal meeting between army officers
was promptly tried for murder, pro-
nounced guilty and hanged, and since
then, with the exception of Disraeli's
cartel to the arch-agitator O'Connell,
no Britisher has felt himself bound by
that mode of arbitration written at the
point of the sword or voiced by the
pistols mouth. Not only in Great
Britain, but elsewhere in foreign coun-
tries, the historical and social student
may trace the rise, prevalence and de-
cline of the judicial and other charac-
teristic modes of combat down the
march of time.
Dueling, therefore, can now be very
appropriately treated from the stand
point of the historian, for as a Gus
tom 1t is being frowned down by all
law-abiding peoples and will soon be-
come a thing of the past, especially in

NEW STATE PENSIONERS.
Now 6,775 Men and Women Re-
ceiving Assistance from the
State of Tennessee.

The Tennessee Board Of Pension FIX
aminers completed the work of the
regular quarterly session Friday. Dur
ing this term the board added to the

of the fourth class who receive IS per
month each, four widows of old soldiers
of the first class who receive So per
month each, and 146 widows of the
second class who receive IS per month
each. 1t is probable that few if any
additional pensioners of the first class
among the old soldiers will be added
by the state board.
There are now 6,775 pensioners on
the rolls of Tennessee. These are divid
ed as follows:
Old soldiers first class, receiving 81;
per month each, 49,
