GEOLOGIST YEATES
Returns From Nashville and Tells About
Exhibits.
HAKES ANSWER TO HIS CRITICS
The Signe on Mineral Exhibit 4 * Will Be
IChang-ed— He Writes a Card
For Publication,
Yeates, the state geologist, re
turned from the Centennial at Nash
ville Tuesday morning says the Consti
tution, where he has had charge ot the
Georgia exhibit. He talks very freely
about the recent charges that have been
urged against him, and says they are
untrue and utterly without foundation.
He called on the governor yesterday,
and the latter stated he had found' no
fault with Professor Yeates’s work, but
that he had always been against the
geological survey, and was at first some
what angry on seeing a wrong sign over
the Georgia exhibit at the exposition.
Professor Yeates states the sign was
there over his protest, and wrote to the
Nashville officials yesterday afternoon
asking that it be removed, which will
no doubt be done at once.
Regarding recent publications about
this department, Professor Yeates has
written the following card to The Con
stitution:
From State Geologist Yeates.
Editor Constitution —My attention has
been called to a long article in your issue
of yesterday, purporting to be the re
. suits of some investigation into my ad
■ministration of the affairs of the geo-
survey by the committee of the
flise of representatives now investigat-
conduct of the various state de
flints. I cannot believe that a com
fltoniposcil of men of such high
< tach of whom I have the
respect, could have con

spired an attack so malicious and so ut
terly false. The article is adroitly woven,
for a purposee, sinister. I have no battle
to fight in the newspapers, but I am com
pelled to protest against such an under
handed attack against the geological sur
vey, which it is my privilege to defend.
Surely the honorable gentlemen compos
ing the committee would not give out
such matter for publication on mere ex -
parte statement, made by I know not
whom, and I believe they will hear me
before deciding against an institution so
valuable to the state as is its geological
survey. I know of no state survey in
this country that has accomplished more,
with the same amount of money, in the
same length of time, than has been ac
complished by the geological survey of
Georgia during my administration.
lam now on duty for Georgia, at the
Tennessee Centennial, where I have made
the largest and finest display of her min
eral and forestry, resources ever made
for any state at any exposition, in this
country; and this statement will be
by all Georgians who have seen them.
But I will return to Atlanta the early part
of next week and I will request the com
mittee to permit me to make a statement
before them as to my administra
tion of the affairs of the geolo
gical survey. I know they will
do it; for when they examined my ac
counts two weeks ago, I was impressed
with their perfect fairness. Then will I
state what I have accomplished as state
geologist, and I have nothing to fear
from the statement. Those persons who
may desire to know what has been ac
complished by the geological survey
during the past four years can ascertain
the truth by reading my administrative
reports for those years, copies of which
will be sent to any one applying by pos
tal or otherwise. These reports are
always short and concise, and they will
not tire the reader.

State Geologist.

A Valuable Prescription.
Editor Morrison of Worthington,
Ind , “Sun.” writes: "You have aval
uable prescription in Electric Bitters,
and I can cheerfully recommend it
for Constipation and Sick Headache,
and as a general system tonic it has
no equal.” Mrs. Annie Stehle 2625
Cottage Grove Ave., Chicago, was all
run down, could not eat nor digest
lood, had a backache which never
left her and felt tiled and weary, but
six bottles of Electric Bitters restored
her health atd renewed her strength.

. remarkable fortitude.
Jennings, Baltimore’s Shortstop, Badly In
jured and Cried Because He Had to Quit.
A remarkable instance of the absorbing
interest baseball players have in their
team winning, and a splendid exhibition
of fortitude is told in the press dispatches
sent out concerning Shortstop Jennings
of Baltimore’s injuries iu the game in
New York Monday. The dispatch says:
“Shortstop Jennings, of Baltimore,
who was hit on the head by a ball thrown
by Pitcher Rusie, in the game today, 'is
said to be suffering from concussion of
the brara.
“Doyle, of Baltimore, was at first
base and was playing off the base.
Rusie made a motion as to throw the
ball to Clark, New York’s first base
man. Turning quickly, however, he
faced the batsmdn, Jennings, and de
livered a swift inshoot, which struck
the Baltimorean above the left ear.
Jennings turned completely around,
then sank to his knees. Players from
both sides rushed to his aid, and after
a while he recovered sufficiently to
take his base. He succeeded in tally
ing a run. In the next inning he went
to his place at shortstop and played
through the inning. Then he was
taken with nausea, a physician was
called from the grand stand and ad
vised him to leave the field. He wanted
to continue to play, but was forced to
leave and went to the club house cry
ing bitterly.” .

“GEORGIA SCENES,’’
New Edition of Judge jLongstreet’s Famous
Book is Now Out.
It was a happy thought of Messrs.
Harpers to bring out anew edition of
Judge Longstreet’s famous “Georgia
Scenes,” originally published in 1840,
and the book in its present form, says
the New York Sun, should be welcome
to many readers. The edition is
printed from new plates and the
quaint, original illustrations are re
tained. Those readers who are inter
ested in curious literary coincidences
may compare the chapter on ’’The
Militia Company Drill,” says The Sun,
with the description of a similar
scene in Mr. Hardy’s "Trumpet
Major. ’’ Judge Longstreet states in a
footnote that his account was written
by a friend—that it was taken from life
and published about 20 years ago; that
is, about 1820. Mr. Hardy, against
whom a charge of plagiarism in connec
tion with the matter was brought by the
Critic some years ago, has explained that
certain details in his account were taken
from “Gifford’s History of the War with
Napoleon,” published in London in 1817.
So. apparently, both he and the judge’s
friend got their material from the same
source, and, as the two versions contain
several parallel passages that coincide,
word for word, the charge of plagiarism
was not a unnatural one. Judge Long
street’s dsscription of a Georgia gander
pulling, a shooting match, the great
waxwork exhibition, etc., and his deling
cation of “the blossom,” who was, “peiß
haps, a leetle, just a leetle, the best
at a horse swap that ever trod shoe lesfl
er,” the charming Evelina, and aUflggj
rest are as fresh and interesting iflM|
sajs the Sun, as when they were
50 odd years ago,
