we knew that q crisis was at hand

We take pleasure In informing our
readers that the stranger had nothing
against the freedom Of the press in
general or against us personally. 1t
had struck him that there were too
many editors In the country for the
area, and he decided to begin with us
and remove couple of dozen. He had
come several hundred miles on horse
back to do us honor.
We found the great American re-
mover an intelligent and well posted
man. and there was no doubt of his
belief In his duty. The only thing he
had not taken into account was the
fact that he might meet an editor who
would shoot back. He owned right up
that this was the one weak point in
his case and decided to abandon the
somewhat liberal program ne had laid
out.
When the bullet had been extracted
from Mr.. Remover's shoulder and he
had been bandaged up we led him out

 Those in favor of Richmond as the site for the monument, oppose the ex- tra session. They claim that Rich mond won by as legal procedure as ever did any question, and that the setting aside of decision reached in regular session Is uncohstitutional. They recognize the claim of no Geor- gia city except Andefsonville, and this site is advocated. because it was here that Wirx's dutIes Tor the Confederacy were pArfoFnlea.
 Since ne did not asrws the State of Georgia but the entire Confederacy, they feel thar the shaft would lose its aignificanee # placed anywhere but at AndensonviIie or Richmond.
