Donation of Funds.

In this same connection in discussing
the location of the George Peabody col
lege for teachers and the proposition TO
move that institution near Vanderbilt
University, there are those who recall
the fact that during the last session of
the legislature a bill was introd uced
" to authorize and empower university
and other institutions of learning Or
ganized and existing under the laws Of
this state to donate or transfer portions
of their endowment or assets to other
incorporated institutions of learning
that are established and maintained for
the purpose of conducting any depart
ment of learning included within the
corporate purposes of the institution
donating or transferring portion of its
endowment
This bill was passed by the house
with an amendment reading as follows:
"Provided that the provisions of this
act shall not apply to the property and
funds that have been given to the Pea
body Normal College"
The bill AS amended failed in the
enate.-Nashville Banner.

Three sessions will be held daily until
October 49,
1t is estimated that fully $4,000 dele
gates and visitors from all parts of the
world will be in attendance. So large
is the convention that it has been di-
vided into three parts and meeting will
be held simultaneously in the Oakland
Methodist Episcopal church, Carnegie
Music hall and Luna Park.
Preparations have been going on for
the last four years in perfecting the ar
rangements for the centennial and dur
ing the next week men prominent in
every walk of life will address the va
rious meetings.
One of the noteworthy events will be
launching of a missionary steamer in
the Allegheny river. After the. cere-
mony the boat will be dismantled and
shipped to the river Nile, where it will
be used TO carry on the missionary
work Of the Christian church.

Battle Being Commemorated
in Two States Today.

Charlotte, N. G., Oct. r" Kings
Mountain Day." the anniversary of the
battle of Kings Mountain, s. c., in
which 900 brave 'mountain men, won
victory over the British forces, num-
bering |, 200, on October 7, 1880, during
the struggle of the United Colonies for
their independence from Great Britain
was fittingly commemorated today in
both South Carolina and Tennessee.
On the battlefield a monument which
has been erected by the United States
government at a cost of 100000 was
dedicated with appropriate ceremonies
On the Kings Mountain battlefield
United States troops from Ft. Moultrie
will take part in military evolutions
there on Friday
The monument is located on the spot
where the fighting was hardest. Near
by is granite tablet marking the spot
where Gen. Patrick Ferguson, the Brit
ish commander, fell mortally wound
ed. A short distance away is the grave
of Gen. Ferguson, on which has been
placed placard inviting each visitor
to contribute a stone to the pyramid
which is being heaped upon the grave
as a monument.
The program of the unyeiling exercis-
es included addresses by Cows. Ansel,
of South Carolina; Kitchen, of North
Carolina; Patterson, of Tennessee, and
Brown, of Georgia, President Henry
w. Snyder, of Wofford College; Con.
gressman ID. L. Finley, of South Caro-.
lima; L. Y. Webb, of North Carolina,
and President S. 0. Mitchell, of the

Mountain centennial lyric, written fol
the occasion by Mrs. Clara Dargar
Mclean, was read.

wisely y determined that in all cases af-
fecting the lives and liberties of the
people, the issue be left to the decision
of "twelve good men and true, y and
not to one man, whose interest, in this
particular case at least, was doubly in
volved in indictments which the men,
bers of the jury did not think the facts
warranted.
If encouragement are to be allowed
to direct juries to make presentments
or indictments, we might as well abol-
ish the jury system altogether and
leave the fate of all accused persons to
be determined by the Encouragement.
Again we would remind the people
that it is always better to submit to
the orderly procedure prescribed for
the enforcement of the law rather than
to take the same into our own hands.
Constituted authorities are provided
for the enforcement of law; if these do
not suit us, we have our remedy at the
ballot; in no case are we justified in
raising the red flag of the mob and of
anarchy.-Chattanooga Times.

GRAND JURY SUSTAINED.

The complete failure of Attorney
General McCarn to make good his
charges against the grand jury of Da-
wilson county should be gratifying in
teiligence to all well-wishers of the
state, although we suspect that such
will not be the effect on some of our
highly esteemed fellow-citizens. The
reason why we think the outcome
gratifying is that we believe it very
much less harmful to our peace of
mind as people to learn that the
spectacular grand-stand play of an at
torney-general had been exposed than
if grand jury had been discredited
and shown to be corrupt or venal.
Grand juries are at the very foundation
of our system of laws provided for the
protection and security of society, and
that day when we fail to recognize
their authority we are tampering with
danger.
Attorney-Genera MeCarn made GER
tain serious charges against the David
son county grand jury, which it turns
out were based more on opinion than
facts, and they therefore failed. Mr..
McCarn thought the grand jury ought
to do certain things, but the members
thereof thought differently - and it
happens in our code of laws the men,
bers of grand juries and not attorneys
general are judges of all facts coming
before them. Mr.. McCarn has mis-
sion, it seems, in the execution of which
everybody will eonoede he has right
to use his utmost endeavor--except that
he must not usurp functions that do
not lawfully belong to him. 1t was

TRAGEDY AT EMBEVILLE.

Jonesboro, Oct. 1O-News has just

vile at an early hour this morning of
Cliff White by young man named
Tipton. The first intimation of the
tragedy came to relatives of White
here by telephone to local undertaken,

ticulars could be learned at 10 o'clock

tion that from the day it was empan-
nelled Sept I, until the day charges
were brought, Sept 20, thirty-three al
legged liquor law violations were before
the jury, true bills were found unani-
mously in twenty-five cases; present
ments were unanimously rejected in
nine; the vote against a presentment
was 10 TO 3 in one other case and IL to
, in the last
The climax OF interest was reached
shortly before the noon adjournment
when Gen, Mccain, having introduc-
ed witness to prove the conduct of a
member of the grand jury at the time
he was 4 member of former grand
jury, and having been denied the priv
ilege of introducing such testimony,
said:
'Tf your honor please, [ think my
duty ends here. ! have offered you
the evidence; if you do not see fit TO
receive it, will excuse the witness.
The attorney general is not the sole Of
ficer charged with this dGty 1t is
your honor's as well as mine.
At another stage of the hearing, the
tension became somewhat strained.
Gen. McCarn had served notice that he
would file bills of information in all of
the cases in which the grand jury has
refused to indict and would expect a
ruling one way or the other.
81 have filed one such bill of infor-
nation, &" he continued, "and have not
heard from it. | do not know where
it is. /"

Hart, sand will be passed upon. "

The contention is made by some that
the turning over of the University of
Nashville property to the George Pea
body College for teachers implied that
the new institution was to be located
on the present property occupied by
the Peabody Normal.
Regarding the status of the states
appropriation to the George Peabody
college for teachers the positionfs taken
by some that the status of the states
appropriation will be fully determined
by the outcome of any litigation that
may ensue regarding the status of the

Jury, Judge Hart dismissed the charges
made against that body late this after
noon. Just before he closed his case,
Attorney General McCarn filed new
ground in his motion for dismissal
of the grand jury, alleging irregulari-
ties and illegal methods in the selec-
ton of the grand jury
One witness was examined upon
this point, Romans Haley, deputy
criminal court clerk. He testified
that the same procedure had been fol-
lowed with this jury that had been fol-
lowed for the past eight years, Judge
Hart took this new ground for dismis-
sal under advisement, and ordered the
grand jury to report back Monday
morning,
The decision Of his honor was com
plete vindication of the grand jury.
He declared that he found no evidence
of any improper or corrupt conduct on
the part of the jury. He cautioned
them to be very careful in the return
ing of presentments, reiterating his
charge to them along this line.
The hearing consumed the entire
morning and a considerable portion Of
the afternoon. At times il developed
some rather sensational aspects. The
grand jury filed an answer at the open
ing of the hearing, presenting its side
of the case. Eacn charge was denied
and the statement giving the details
was signed by all thirteen members o.
the Jury. 1t was related in tbs peti

COMPROMISE Of REELFOOT
Reported Effort Has Been Made
to Settle Questions Involved
out of the State Courts.

1t is understood that an effort is be-
ing made to compromise the Reelfoot
Lake litigation and to reach an AMIGA
BILE settlement whereby the state of
Tennessee may become possessor of
the Reelfoot Lake property for the es-
tablishment of state game and fish
preserve. 1t is understood that Attor-
ney-General G. 4, Gates, Jr., and offic-
ials of the West Tennessee Land Com
pany are holding conference in Mem
phis today to this end.
1t will be remembered that the last
legislature authorized legal proceed
ings looking to an establishment of
the legal titles to the Reelfoot Lake
property and to the condemnation of
that property for the establishment of
public state game and fish preserve.
The governor was authorized to ap-
point attorneys TO assist the attorney
general of the state in prosecuting
these cases. Hon. ID. B. Puryear, of
Gallatin and Mr. Barr, of Dresden,
were named by the governor. There
was some talk of conference in Nash
vile today between the legal represen-
tatives of the state and of the West
Tennessee Land Company and the
governor. This conference, however,
did not materialize. The governor is
not in the city, and it was understood
this morning that a conference was to
be held at in Memphis today between
Gen. Gates and the representatives of
the land company with the hope Of
reaching the suggested compromise
mentioued.-Nashville Banner.
