their meeting Saturday of the tlrs*e
of Representative W. .1. Flanders
against the president and vice pres
ident, and others either now or for
merly connected with the Institution.
The following resolutions were
adopted, and handed out for the
press:
"Whereas, W. J. Flanders, repre
sentative from Johnson county, has
recently assailed one of the present
members of the board of trustees of
the N. L. W., Institute, two former
distinguished members of the board
and the president and the vice presi

was made on the floor of the house of
representatives, and published inter

"Resolved, That the hoard of trus
tees of the N. L. W. Institute, fur

the following statement of facts re
lating to the persona attacked, to-wlt:
“1. 'mat Presiding Elder J. M. Lov
ett and Rev. E F. Morgan, formerly
connected with this board, are wor
,thy and efficient ministers, greatly
beloved by our people; and rendered
acceptable service to our church arill
school. We esteem them worthy of
the highest confidence of any people;
and feel sure that they are too well
known to suffer from the effects of
any assault upon them.
"2. That Judge A. F. Daley, chair
man of our local board of trustees,
has shown himself one of the most
liberal and public spirited supporters
of the Institution. He Is a gentle
man of unimpeachable Integrity and
character, whose advice and general
assistance have at all times been at
the command of school and city and
county. His uprightness of character
has been tested and approved In the
performance of distinguished public
service, as judge of the superior
courts and state senator.
J. That this board has always
enueavored to obtain the services of
teachers and professors not only
above reproach, but beyond suspi

In having succeaafully accomplished
this object In the selection of Presi
dent William F. Qullllan for five

"Dr. Flanders' continuous patron
age of the Institution during the pe

their services. And he likewise ap
parently held in high esteem and con

WHOLE FAMILY ILL;
POISONED MILK
Attempt, Evidently Msde by Mis
creants, to Poison the Family of
Mre. Futch, Near Thomssville.
THOMABVILLK. Oa.. July 17.—A
very evident attempt. It Is believed,
Is being made to poison the family
of Mrs Alice Futeh. at their home
seven miles from Thomasvllle, near
Metcalf. As many as twenty-one peo
ple were made sick by poison In one
dav last week. At first It was thought
that the sickness might have result
ed from some weed that the rows
had eaten, hut almost every one of
the entire number who ate dinner at
the home Friday are still sick,
though none has yet died. The fam
ily has been made sldk four times
during the past six weeks, and
though they had feared some attempt
was being made to poison them, they
had taken no definite steps to trace
out the matter.
Family Physician Poisoned.
Last Friday, Dr. A. P. Taylor, of
Thnmaevjlle. a member of the state
hoard of health, was called to attend
Mrs. Futch, who had been attacked
with a peculiar illness on Wednes
day. He was Invited to stay for din
ner and did so. There were several
other guests present, among whom
wait Rev. T. A. White, a prominent
Baptist, minister of Thomasvllle; also
Mrs. J. C. 'ihomas, of Metcalf, and
the two sons of Mrs. Futch, Allie
and John. Very soon after dinner the
i guests were taken violently 111 and
I Dr. Taylor was so sick on his way
hack to Thomasvllle that he could
hardly get home.
Neighbor’s Children Poisoned.
During the afternoon Mrs. Kerr, a
neighbor of the Fetches, and her
two children, came over for a short
visit. The children asked for some
thing to eat, and wee given a bis
cuit. It was not long until they, too,
were sick. The negro cook and her
three children were among the sick
ones and she was still so sick that
she could not get breakfast this
morning.
Poison Probably in Milk.
The negro families on the place
sent over to the house In the after
noon and asked for some milk. Every
one of them who tasted the milk
was sick. It la concluded from this
that the poison must have been put
into the mua, from which the bread
was made.
Dr. Taylor states that the effect of
the poison gives evidence that it
must have been phosphorus or some
similar poison, the effect of which is
cumulative. On this account he can
not hope that the end has yet come.
The Futchcs are among the most
prominent families In the country.
They are unable to ascribe any cause
for the attempt on their lives, they
having had no disturbance with the
negroes on the place.
The milk is regularly kept in the
dairy, which is in the back yard, and
is not locked up. >_ome of the bread
was today sent to Dr. Harris, presi
dent of the state hoard of health.

To this query Capt Wm B Young

was his desire that all ballots used

To the same questions Mr. Dunbar

case of the Augusta Brokerage Co.,
vs the Central of Georgia railroad,
was heard this morning by Judge
Eve, and the motion as made by the
defendants' attorney was overruled,

within this period it has been to
the supreme court of Georgia. The
Augusta Brokerage Co., brought the
su.l against the Central railroad and
charged that the railroad furnished
them poor car facilities.
When it was first tried a verdict
in favor of the plaintiffs for $3,000
was rendered. It was then taken to
the supreme court and brought hack
and the second time that it was tried
in the city court a verdict lor $3,5u0
was rendered in favor of the plaintiff.

MULE DROPPED
DEM YARD
Became 111 After Reaching City and
Died Before Veterinary Surgeon
Could be Summoned.
Mr. William Augustine and father
of Langley, S. C., were in the city to
day in a one horse wagon, and ae
soon as they arrived drove into the
feed lot of Bussey & Carswell, on
Reynolds street.
A few minutes after the mule they
were driving had been taken from the
wagon he showed symptoms of being
ill.
The younger Augustine went off
at once to secure a veterinary surgeon
and he had not gone far before the
mule dropped dead in his tracks.
The loss of the mule is a very se
rious one as Mr. Augustine is a poor
man, and needs the animal more at
this season of the year than at any
other time. Both men had to go back
home on the street car.
