A NARROW ESCAPE.
Buggy in Which Dr. Battle and Prof.
Gardner Were Riding Demolished.
Yesterday morning about 11 o’clock
Dr. A. J. Battle, president of Shorter
college, and Prof. Gardner of Decatur,
were out driving.
They were both on the rear seat of a
two seated vehicle with a colored ser
vant driving. A farmer’s wagon, on
which there were two bales of cotton,
stood unguarded in front of Roun
saville’s warehouse. The horses be
come frightened and sped into Third
avenue.
At the intersection of Broad street
and Third avenue the runaway team
met Dr. Battle’s turnout. Before the
negro driver could clear the way the
heavy wagon crashed into the bqggy
smashing the rear wheels into kind
ling wood.
Very fortunately neither Dr. Battle
or Prof. Gardner were injured in the
slightest. The driver escaped, too,
without a scratch.

A Diiy’s Journey.
"A day’s journey,” as the expression
is used in the Scripture, means from
10 to 20 miles. The “Sabbath day’s
journey,” frequently mentioned in the
Bible, was 2,000 paces, or about three
quarters of a mile. The Jews were for
bidden to travel farther than this dis
tance on their Sabbath, but often evaded
the prohibition by taking a small quan
tity of food and burying it in the ground
at the required distance from their
homes, whereby this spot became tech
nically a habitation, and they could
proceed from it another Sabbath day’s
journey on their way.—

THS ROME TJRIBUNF, NOVEMBER 14, LtftH
A FUTURE GOVERNOR
May Be Among tbe Members of the
Legislature Who Are tn Rome.
WHO THEY ARE; VfiIFTHSY WANT
They Are Welcome to Rome end We Hope
They Will Enjoy Themselves—Will
Return to Atlanta Today.
Nine prominent members of the
legislature besides the senator of this
district and the three Floyd county
members arrived in Rome last night.
The visitors are registered at tbe
Armstrong hotel.
They will be joined this morning
by the “inimitable” Joe Mansfield
whose platform is “Sapelo or bust,’’and
who has achieved national notoriety
on his bill to legalize prize fighting.
The arrivals last night were as fol
lows:
Senator Phil Cook, chairman of the
senate penitentiary committee, who is
from Leesburg. He is one of the
strongest and most highly respected
members of the senate. He never ac
cepts railroad passes, but always pays
his way. Senator Cook is prominent
ly spoken of for the next secretary of
state.
Senator Harry Dunwoody,of Bruns
wick, is one of the most elegant and
popular young men in tbe legislature.
His friends are urging him £to enter
the race for attorney of the state.
Senator Kilpatrick, of Monticello,
is a candidate for solicitor general of
the Ocmulgee circuit. He is an able
lawyer, and will fill the place with
conspicuous ability.
Senator Wesley Shropshire, who re
presents this district, is a leader in the
senate. He is very popular with the
members of both bouses.
Representative R. G. Dickerson, of
Homerville, introduced the bill for the
$400,000 additional appropriation to the
school fund. He :s a candidate for sen*
tor of the fifth district and bids fair to
reach-a high place in the state political
arena.
Representative W. B. Henderson, of
Stone Mountain, is one of the best fellows
in “de gang.” He won the big fight in
DeKalk county for the removal of the
county site from Decatur to Stone Moun
tain—that is he has gotten a favorable
committee repoit.
Representative C. C. Thomas, of Way
cross, was the strongest fighter for the
penal island plan on sub-penitentiary
committee. He was for Sapolo. He is
a candidate for solicitor-general of the
Brunswick circuit and is one of South
Georgia’s brightest young men.
Representative Copeland, of L&Fay
ette, is one of North Georgia’s braini
est end most aggressive members. He
has something worthy of hearing on
almost every measure that comes up.
Representative William Chartres,
of Dahlonega, has a penchant for gold
nuggests. He is a candidate for solici
tor general of that circuit. Mr. Char
tres is one of the most active members
of the legislature and secures all the
good things that go for Lumpkin
county,
Representative W. B, Hanby, of
Clayton has the reputation of being
the tallest member in the house. His
picture was published in yesterday’s
Constitution as‘‘the long of it.” He
is a very pleasant gentleman,
F. Z. Curry, of Jackson, is clerk of the
general judiciary committee and is a
candidate for solicitor-general of tbe
Flint circuit.
Representatives Ennis, Nevin and
Reece, of Floyd county, came home with
the visitors. These three gentlemen are
too well known to need any commenda
tion among their home people. Each is
doing his duty.
What They Say.
The concensus of opinion among the
visitors seemed to be
That the co-education would not pass
and might not be called up again at thi
session. It has twice been a special order
and gone over.
That there is no telling what would be
done about the penitentiary bill.
That a modified Australian ballot sys
tem may pass. There is some opposition
to it.
Program For Today,
This morning the visitors will at
tend church to hear some of the prom
inent Presbyterian divines. After
ward they will be taken carriage driv
ing. This afternoon they will visit
the Massachusetts cotton mill. They
will return to Atlanta over the South
eru railway at 5:35 p. m.
Hon. Jake Moore came up with tbe
visitors. He and Mayor King, Sheriff
McConnell and a number of promi
nent Romans called on the legislators
at the Armstrong last night.
This is the first visit of Senators
Dunwoody and Cook to Rome.

The Great Harvard-Yale Football Game
Yesterday in Boston.
Boston, Nov. 18.—Tbe great foot
ball game between Harvard and Yale

scoring.
Tbe two teams wen vegyevenly
matched, and fought every inch of
tbe way. Harvard bad the advant
age in the toss, but Yale held them
down wonderfully,
“Hi Wat?r Aew Froze.
The whole economy of nature woulc
undergo a startling change if water
never froze. The world’sclimates woulc
be revolutionized. The icebound polai
seas would cease to exercise their chill
ing influences, and consequently the
currents of the ocean might either cease
or be turned aside in different direc
tions.
Thus the gulf stream would seek oth
er shores than those of Britain, and the
climate there might be subject to the
extremes of heat and cold noticeable in
other countries of the same latitude.
The icebound rivers of the north, not
ably those of Russia and Siberia, would
be open for navigation, and Russia’s
activity as a sea power and a commer
cial nation might alter the whole world
of commerce.
Canada would become another coun
try altogether. An immense tract of land
would be available for cultivating hardy
plants, and Greenland might be what
its name indicates. The absence of ice
bergs off the coasts of Newfoundland
and Iceland would result in a much
warmer climate in those islands, where
now the crops often fail.
Ice, too, plays an important part in
the economy of nature. Thus, if water
never froze, snow, hail and hoar frost
would cease. The loosening of soils and
the disintegration of rocks by the frost
and many other now vital effects would
be lost. In short, the absence of ice
would be on the one hand an incalcul
able disaster, on the other hand a great
boon.—London Globa
