AN ACT OF

In the proceedings of the Davidson
County Court Monday AFTERNOON there
was presented a petition from Mr..
G.. N. Tillman, recently candidate for
Governor of Tennessee. The prayer
of the petitioner was that the County
Court reimburse him in the sum of
$97 which he had expended in the care
of an injured and friendless colored
boy. The petition exposed an act of
kindness that might otherwise never
have become known, for men who do
these sort OF things are not in the
habit Of exploiting their acts before
a criticizing public, but they are acts,
however. that are full or human inter
est, and many expressions of pleas
ure were noted among the members
of the court at being enabled to re-
imburse Mr.. Tillman.
Shortly before Christmas Louis
Caldwell, a poor colored boy, was
trying to earn an honest penny gath
ring mlstletoe and fell from a high
tree near Mr.. Tillman's country place,
breaking both legs between the knee
and thigh. An examination of the
boy revealed that unless he was prop
erly cared for death would result.
Mr.. Tillman had him conveyed to the
City Hospital and paid all the bills
until the boy was able to be removed,
and in his action received the con
gratulations of Judge Pollard, who
took occasion to compliment him
when his prayer was read before the
! sQuires.
