STORIES ARE UNTRUE.
Confederate Veterans Condemn Them
as Misleading.

Atlanta Camp, No. 159, United
Confederate Veterans, has passed
strong resolutions severely condemn
ing the civil war articles now running
in papers all over the country.
At a meeting held this week the
camp heard a paper by Professor B.
NJ. Zettler, a. member, who denounc-
ed the series, as unfair, inaccurate
and misrepresenting the truth as re-
garGs the confederate side.
The paper was received with en-
thusiasm, and was endorsed without
q dissenting voice. a resolution was
then introduced and unanimously
passed condemning the publications
as damning the Southern cause with
faint praise, and magnifying every
thing concerning the union side. II
was pointed out that the harm ol
these articles lay in giving the young
er generation of the country an en-
tirely false conception Of the confed-
eracy, and doing terrible injustice to
the brave men who fought for cause
they believed in.

WANTS HIS SHARE.
Has Wrong Idea of the Farmers Free
List Bill.

The Washington correspondent OF
The State says there Is much miscon-
ception in some sections regarding
the true meaning of the free list bill
recently passed by the house. A
member from South Carolina receiv-
ed a letter from constituent saying
that he had been waiting patiently
many years for the Democrats to get
control of the house, so that every
thing would be free"
He had read of the bill and was
glad that hereafter he would not
have to pay for anything. He asked
his representative to send a horse
to take the place of the one that re-
Gently died, a dozen dinning room
chairs, some new chinaware, a new
carpet for the parlor and a few
other incidentals.
After closing the letter he added a
postscript in which he said that ne
hoped the congressman would moi
forget to send the "old lady ne"
sewing machine to take the place ol
one she had used many years.
The recipient Of the letter was
touched by the appeal, but had to
reply that If the writer got the
things he wanted he would probably
have to pay good American dollars
for them.

A COLUMBIA MYSTERY.
Body of a Negro Man Found in an
Unused Well.

The State says Columbia has
another murder mystery which VII
probably never be solved. Well clean
ers descending in an old well In the
rear OF a house at 1914 Hardin street
Waverly, Wednesday found the body
of Edward Patterson, a negro about
40 years of age, who was employed
by the Palmetto Ice Company as q
driver until December 10 Of last year
when he disappeared.
It was generally supposed that ne
had gone to Birmingham and no In
vestigation was made at the time as
to the cause of his disappearance
The we'll is located just back of the
house. The house has not been oc'
cupied since last August. Coroner
Walker made searching investiga'
ton as to the cause of the death anu
found that Patterson had been muir
dered. His head was crushed by a
heavy blow. The shirtwaist Of a Wo'
man covered his head. The body
was decomposed almost beyond rec
ognition.
An examination by a physicieP
determined the fact that the man was
a negro. Coroner Walker found tha'
the negro mad about $3.50 on his
person the night that he was killed
He had been robbed. Many theories
have been advanced as to the mo-
tive. No announcement has been
made by Coroner Walker as to when
the inquest will be held. He Is
working on several theories and will
very probably learn something OF
tangible nature.

WILL FIGHT 1T OUT
THE ELECTION BILL SENT BACK
TO THE SENATE.
The House Refused to Accept the
Bristow Amendment and it Goes

The house of Representatives Wed
nesday by vote of 172 to 112, g
strick party vote, refused to concur
in the Bristow amendment adopted
by the Senate to the House resolu.
tion providing for the direct election
of Senators.
The 1Bristow amendment leaves
with Congress the power to regulate
the time and manner of holding
these elections, while the resolution
passed by the House during the early
days Of the session would change the
Constitution so the time and man
ner of holding such electens vii! bs
decided in each State by the State
Legislatures.
Representative Dalzell, Republican,
voted against the amendment, while
Mr.. Burke, Democrat, of Winscon-
sin, voted for 1t.
The resolution, therefore, is re-
turned to the Senate for the reconsid-
Grafton by that body as to whether II
will reverse it's former action.
The motion that the House concur
in the Senate amendment was made
by Representative Olmsted, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania. Several Re-
publicans spoke in favor Of 1t while
a number of Democrats spoke against
it.
The Democrats protested that the
people of the States could safely be
entrusted with the p::wer OF controll-
ing the elections Of their Represen'
tatives in the upper House, while the
Republicans ccntea ed That such de-,
lc:. alton OF authority would take fro.t
Congress lower which, it should re
tain.
Representative Rucker, OF MIS-
souri,, in charge Of the resolution, de-
clared that it was "the demand of the
American people Ghat the election o.
United States Senator'S be taken out
os the market.
"I have no fear of the people, hi
said, "but of the combinations be-
hind closed doors which trample or
tre most sacred. rights Of the
people. Give the States just little
more power and we. will take the
lumber trust, the sugar, and all the
other trusts out Of politics.
Representative Mann, on the 9th
er side, asserted that this was an at
tempt OF the Democrats to accom-
plish indirectly what they had beer
unable to do directly.
"You are afraid" he said, "tha
your grandfather clauses will bt
declared unconstitutional"
The resolution, when it is returned
to the Senate, is expected to cause
lively discussion, but it is anticpat
ed that it will go to conference with
in the immediate future.

ed at the discovery.
"The worst is tey to come," was
his comment.

Alcohol And The MemOrQ.

Every person who drinks alcohol
to excess, says DR.. Alexander Lam
bert in an article in Success Maya
zine, will not show every form of
mental deterioration that may be
produced by excessive indulgence,
and the degree of deterioration in
intelligence which goes to make up
the sum total of mentality varies
greatly in different individuals.
All who drink alcohol to excess,
however, show some diminution in
their judgment. Judgment means
the power of recalling various men,
cries of perceptions through the
senses, which have come in from
the outside world, memories of
ideas, memories Of emotions, and all
the complicated association of ideas
that these bring up, and in the re-
calling of them weigh each one with
the other and judge of the value be
tween them. This also means rea-
soning and decision for action. This
power of reasoning and judging is
weakened in the alcoholic, and in
any brain long poisoned by alcohol
it is an impossibility to exercise it.
Memory itself is also weakened.
There is excessive forgetfulness of
the recent past, and in some cases
Of advanced alcoholism there is alb
solute forgetfulness of wide gaps of
years; a man may be unable to re-
member anything from the last five
minutes back for 20 years and then
remember back to childhood. The
memories of childhood are more
easily stamped on the brain than
are those of adult life, both because
there is not the complexity of ideas
croWding into the brain, nor the
completely Of association of ideas to
be recorded. Therefore memories
of childhood make a deeper impress
and last longer, and so the complex
memories OF the adult are the first
TO be forgotten in the alcoholic land
those Of childhood remain.

Of $97 800 in running expenses. When
the commission took hold the financial
status of the city was very bad. 1t
had reached both its debt limit and
tax rate limit and was steadily falling
behind in its payments. Appeals We're
being made to the Legislature for an
extension of the tax rate limit. but
this extension has now become unnec-
essary In addition the city has voted
no license, the revenue from the sa-
looms being no longer needed. The

battle against the gas and electric
light monopolies TO obtain lower rates

political opposition to the commission
at the expiration of its first term, but
it was reelected Party lines in Hav-

Boy Scouts Attend 10 Finger Nails
And Teeth.

The Boy Scouts Of America are
required to keep their finger nails
Vclean, and attend to their teeth. The
new Scout Law imposes these du-
ties upon them for Plank No. II
says: "a Boy Scout is clean; he
keeps clean in body and thought,
and stands for clean speech, clean
spirit and clean habits" The boys
have received directions for the
care Of their finger nails, and are
told that they are cut once a week
and cleaned daily. 1t is hoped that
the hundreds of thousands of boys
stimulated by the new Boy Scout
principles will exhibit clean, glisten-
tpg finger nails hereafter. Special
Instructions also are given the boys
Tor the care of the teeth. Boys
are taught that many diseases are
speead because of failure to clean
the teeth and are told that clean
teeth never decay. ACCORDING ly,
boys are urged to give careful at
tention both morning and evening

A BaraCa Garden PartQ.

What promises to be one of the
most enjoyable social functions yet
given by the Baraca Glass of Trini-
ty M. E. Church, East New Market,
will be given on Wednesday evening
July II, when the class will give
garden party on the lawn of the
church. The lawn will be beauti
fully Illuminated with electric lights
and Japanese lanterns. Lawn seats
and chairs will be provided for
all who come; a silver offering will
be taken at the entrance, and ice
cream, cake and lemonade will be
served in abundance.
One of the most attractive fea-
lures of the occasion will be the mu
sic. The Baraca Orchestra of Cam
bridge has been secured. That in
itself assures the success of the
occasion. This is not the first time
that the people Of East New Market
have had the pleasure of hearing
/ this orchestra, and We will never
forget the beautiful music they rem
dered on Home Coming Day." and
at the Baraca banquet. For four
hours they simply charmed the peo-
pie, so the very announcement that
this aggregation of musicians will
, be here assures a crowd of people
/ The orchestra will be seated on a
platform under the large Baraca
tent, that is now pitched on the
lawn adjoining the church, and un'
der which the class holds it's meet
ings during the summer. The tent
will be decorated and brilliantly il
Illuminated for the occasion.
The previous functions given by
the class have been necessarily limi
ted by reason of the large class an6
the limited space, and persons were
admitted by ticket, but at this one
there is room in abundance, ano
everybody is invited to come an6
enjoy the good time with us.
