HUNTERS HAD BLOODY
CLASH NEAR CORDELE
Mayor Moore, of Macon,
Acted PeaCemaker.

Inc following account from CordeHs
tells the story of an unpleasant epi-
sode:
News has just reached here of a
pitched battle with shot guns and pis-
tolls as weapons, last Thursday after
noon near Dakota, in the souther IN
part OF shis county between a party of
hunters of Crisp county and another
party from Macon, among whom was
Mayor Moore, of that city, through
whose good offices a peaceful ending
OF the whole affair was effected.
From the accounts received the diff
Guilty came very near resulting in a
serious tragedy. E. H. Prevatt, of Cor
dele, was badly wounded with bird
shot
1t Is said that the Macon partyhad
come down to Dooly to shoot doves on
the place of Hardin Pitts. a prominent
farmer OF near Dakotah, who had sold
the hunting privilege to a Macon
party. Pitts claims that he reserved
the right to hunt himself or allow any
OF his friends to hunt on his place.
Two Parties Hunting.
When the Macon party arrived on
the scene Thursday they found E. H.
Preyatt, of Cordele, and party Of
friends hunting on the place he hay
ing obtained permission from Pitts to
do so.
The Macon party, thinking they had
exclusive rights to the field, ordered
the other hunters Off This was
promptly resented by the Corde!e
ptrty and hot words were banded
back and forth for some time. 1t IS
stated that at this point one of the
Macon party started to eject Prevatt
from his stand" when the other six
members of Prevatt's party came 10
his defense vigorously This was fol-
lowed, it is said, by a spirited pitched
battle. 80
Mayor Moore Stops Fight.
At this point Mayor Moore of Ma
con, interposed and stopped the fight
in time to prevent fatalities. At his in
stance the two parties were brought
together and within a short time a set
Element was effected. Prevatt being
given $40 by the Macon party for his
injuries. He was pretty badly wound
ed with bird shot.
The difficulty seems to have arisen
entirely over misunderstanding The
Macon party were under the impress
sion that they had rented the exclus-
i've hunting privileges on the Pitts
land, while the Prevatt party had also
obtained permission to hunt on the
land
Owing to the good offices of Mayor
Moore the whole matter was adjusted
and it is not thought there will be
any further developments.

Surprising Emily.

Burning ones bridges behind one is
a courageous but not always a discreet
thing to do. The old farmer whose un-
fortunate experience is thus chionieled
by writer in the Washington Star will
never be guilty OF so radical an action.
He had been shopping" in the village,
and remembering how often his wife had
reproached him for his shabby clothes,
he determined TO surprise her with
complete new outfit.
As the farmer drove home in the twi-
light an idea struck him, and halting his
wagon on a bridge over deep stream,
he took off his old patched coat, doubled
il up and threw il into the water.
Wont Emily be surprised ?" he said
to himself. won't she be took aback
when she sees me so spick and span ?"
He took off his waistcoat and sent II af-
ter his coat. Then he flung his hat into
the stream, then his shoes and stockings,
then his trousers.
"l'll certainly surprise the wife, =" he
said.
Then, shivering a little in his thin un-
derclotbes and the evening air, he reached
down for the package OF new clothes. II
was not under the seed-bag, so he hop
ped lightly TO the back OF the wagon and
searched the floor on hands and knees.
But the bundle was moi on the floor, ei-
ther. For quite five minutes the farmer
looked Tor il and then, with sigh, he
took his old place again on The hard old
seat, and drove off romeward through The
| darkness.
Il was a long ride and chilly ride for
the white, slim figure holding the reinS,
but il ended at last, and the farmer hop
ped from the wagon and dashed nimbly
indoors, hoping TO reach his room unno-
ticed.
But his wife, lamp in her hand. came
full upon him in the hall. The strange,
snowy apparition, moving so lightly, gave
her a great shock.
"Why, fatherl" she said.
But the farmer, brushing her aside,
sped upstairs three steps at time.
al thought I'd surprise ye. Emily" he
said, grimly, land reckon I've done III"

Churchgoing.

Chicago has many kinds of reputation,
but has never been noted for its religious
atmosphere. The rest of the conntry will
therefore be surprised by the result OF a
recent religious census of the city.
More than two million persons were
asked whether they are in the habit OF
going to church. Nearly one-halt OF
them replied that they are regular atten-
dants, about quarter OF them said they
went to church irregularly, and about the
same number have been churchgoers,
but now take no part or interest in any
religious work.
II these figures are trustworthy, Chlca-
90 must be classed as one OF the mostr re-
ligious of cities-untl similar census IN
another city shows a larger percentage OF
persons under church influence. 1t IS
probable that the prevailing impression
regarding the decline Of churchgoing is
unfounded, for there never was a time
when clergymen of all denominations
were working more harmoniously for the
moral uplift OF the people.
Not many Sunday evenings ago aYoung
man in Boston set out for church with a
friend. He started in good time, but the
church which he had selected was SO
crowded when he reached it that he could
not get seat. He met similar crowds in
three or four other places, but persisted
until he finally found ore in which there
was room for him. Unless all reports are
untrue or misleading, similar conditions
prevail on the Pacific coast.
The people are hungering and thlrStlng
for religious instruction, and when they
find it in church they crowd that meet
ing-houSe to the doors.
1t is likely that in Chicago many per-
sons said that they are churchgoers who
seldom worship in public; but their de-
sire TO be classed with the religious is
convincing evidence of the prevalence o.
the Christian sentiment. Ii it were no
'the thing" TO be churchgoer It would
hot be worth while to make the claim.

Mrs. Briggs Speech.

If brevity is the soul of wit, one OF the
wittiest speeches on record was made by
a woman. Mrs. Briggs lived in the north
em part of Indiana, a long distance from
any village.
Hearing that Rev. Mr.. Goodwin was to
preach in a township some twenty miles
distant. sheiresolved TO be present, and
as no other way offered, she walked the
twenty miles.
The pastor heard Of this, and was SO
pleased dt the appreciation which II
showed that at the close OF the sermon he
mentioned the fact TO the congregation
and called upon Mrs. Briggs to tell them
how she came.
Rising slowly, she looked over the au-
dience with great solemnity and said;
al hoofed it."

The School Age.

With every year that passes more anC
more thought is being given to the sub
ject of the physical care OF children. At
tention is especially turning to that class
OF children whose parents are either toe
ignorant or too careless to pay proper re-
gard TO their bodily welfare, and especial
ly is the state growing to sense OF its
duty in regard to the children in its
schools.
The schools are no longer looked upor
as dumps, where children can be placed
and kept without discrimination as to age
capacity or physical condition. Parents
as we'll as pedagogists are growing more
and more awakened to the absolute loss
OF time involved in sending little children
to the public schools who have no right
to be there. A sick child has no place in
the school at all, a defective child has nc
place among children who are normal
and all children below ten years OF age
are being treated with nothing short ot
cruelty when the full complement OF hours
is exacted from them.
There was never yet seen a normal
child who was fitted to sit still indoors
from nine O'Clock until four, with break
of only one hour at noon. Such an ar
rangement in the winter means no day
light playtime at all. The child is kept
at an unnatural tension when attention is
demanded Of him for hours at a stretch,
and study is made odouS TO him, so that
lessons become associated in his mind
with all that is wearisome and TO be avoid
ed.
Many poor little boy plays truant and
takes his punishment again and again.
He knows that retribution IS inevitable,
and yet he faces it because, although he
could not express it, the alternative-that
OF spending the long day at the school
desks intolerable. He is not natural
criminal, he is not potential tramp, al
though he may become one u1ueT lle
system. He is simply natural, healthy
little boy, able to attend to his teacher up
to a certain point, and then able no long
er, do what he or his teacher will.
If truancy and backwardnesS and mat
tention result from some physical defect,
such as imperfect eyes or deafness, the
case is even more cruel, and natural men
tai developement is physical imposSi-
bility until the defects are remedied.
Much good work has already been
done in the direction OF physical eXami-
nation of defective children, and much
has also been done TO remedy the partial
or actual starvation which is the piteouS
state OF so many of the children OF the
poorer classes; but much remains to be
done, and especially in the matter OF the
number OF hours in school demanded OF
children under ten years OF age.
