Sikes end Chance were the best of frlenBs when sober, but when drinking Chance seemed to held a grudge against Sikes about some previous af fair. This mny have been the cause of the deadly duel between them. Both men were in the city Roturday and got their whisky from the express office and went home friends.

Rare In two Instances—rare In the fact that there was no "mud-sllne Ing;" rare again that It was a, most eloquent presentation of plain, althourh very sad, truths. 1,0 The speaker's first words were; “Each week In the warpath of might will be a rock In the temple of right * Bald he: 'This beautiful truth I found engraved In letters of atone on tha monument erected to the Immortals of '61 to '65—ths monument erected to the fallen harass by their sweethearts and wives, their daughters, sitters and mdthers—situated In the center of your historic city." His application of the quotation was- "In the warjmth of the great book trusts waged against the people of Georgia, the wrecks along the route of might had already been made Into rocks for the temple of right;" that the builders were now at work; that tha temple would be completed ths 'Tht of the 2Jd d*j Ic further said; 'Georgia has. no cept in so far as the vants, the problem Into It.” He tpoke feelingly and at'length of the fact that so many ot the whits children in Georgia were not enrolled In the common schools, saying: “Ons hundred and sixty thousand whits children in Georgia are at work In field and factories aiding their parents to pay the balance due on homes, to pay taxes, and yet to pay f'-r the edu cation of negro children. "The misguided philanthropists of ths North gives to negro education tn Geor gia of hla wealth. We of the South can continue our support to tha negro schools only by compelling our chil dren to resign themselves to tho me nial labor which the negro child has deserted. For twenty-nlno years ths white man's taxes lmve supported no* gro schools, and today practically every negro child In Georgia Is attending school. All ov6r Georgia I have seen the struggle of these white children to rise from the prison of their mean es tate. Let us be men, my brothers, and answer the cry of this great army of our own blood, Theso one hundred and sixty thousand little ones, our own kith and kin, must and shall have tha chance at least to become that for which God Almighty Intended them.
