Macon News: In your issue of the 26th instant we notice an article headed “As sassination of J. R. Freeman.” We the members of fae coroner’s jury, and the physician, who participated at the inquest ot Mr. Freeman, desire to state that the whole of said a* tide is utterly false and without foundation. Freeman’s appointment to the postoffice at this place toad no more to do with his death than it had to do with the destruc tion of the battleship Maine. Freeman was killed in a riot raised by a drunken crowd who do not live at this place, but some miles in the country. The citizens of this place deeply deplore the death of Mr. Freeman, and will use every effort to bring to speedy justice the parties who participated in the riot that caused his death. We consider it an outrage for such a grave offense as “assassination” to be al leged to parties who had nothing on earth to do with this tragedy.

[Continued from page one] I thought that the purpose of the Board of Health was principally to advise with and assist council in matters with which that body is not supposed to know very much.” In this matter of compulsory vaccina tion. council has before rt the action of the biggest cities and the greatest countries in the world on the subject of vaccination they have the writings and the opinions of the greatest medical men. that the'world has ever known. I consider it nothing less than impertinence for a little physician down in this corner of God’s vineyard to express his opinion against vaccination and when I hear a man talking about it I set him down as an extremely narrow minded individual. “It is true of .course that campaigns have been made all over the civilized world against vaccination. 1 'read the other day of a man in London who has been prosecuted no less than thirteen times by the authorities of the city of London for his refusal to vaccinate his child. That man started a great campaign against vaccination and being a man of great in fluence of wealth and of education, he was able to create a good deal of stir in the« world. “Now what was the result in this case. He was called before the Royal vaccina tibn commission of England and his. tes timony against vaccination occupied over a week. He cited over 6,000 cases in which people had been permanently injured by vaccination. The commission heard him with the most care and gave him every assistance end every facility. In fact from his standpoint he proved bis case. ' He proved that vaccination was injurious to a great number of people, but at the.same time he did" not prove anything about the vast amount of benefit that it has been to humanity and the hundreds of'thousands of lives that it has saved. “The Royal commission reported in favor of vaccination notwithstanding the tre mendous amount of valuable testimony that the man brought. He was conscien tiously opposed to vaccination and was terribly in earnest, so thoroughly in ear nest that he reached the ear of the highest medical tribunal in the world. But what >as the result? Simply to strengrben the posirion of vaccinaQcn in the eye-s of the world at large and to make it incumbent upon municipalities having any care for the lives of the people in the cities and the properties at stake to stand between gross ignorance or narrowmindedness ot some foolish or even conscientious scru ples and the danger that threatens the mass of the people who look to them for protection. “The city council is placed in a very ticklish position. In my opinion they are bound even by their oaths to do what the Board of Health has asked of them.” C" .ZN. ’□L" jk'sl. jl . f 3 ,c- EC"-’ 15 SJ '-X* ’’rasiSJ Poe Wrote of Her. Mtn.

It was con cerning her that Edgar’ Allan Poe wrote the following in The Broadway Journal in the autumn of 1345: “Our excellent friend, Major Noah, has suffered himself to be cajoled by that most beguiling of all beguiling little divinities, Miss ’.Valter of The Transcript. We have been looking all over her article with the aid or a taper to see if we could discover a single syllable of truth in it—and really blush to acknowl edge that-we cannot. The adorable crea ture has been telling a parcel of fibs about us byway of revenge for something that we did to Mr. Longfellow (who admires her very much] and for calling her'a pret ty little witch’ into the bargain.” A" Impartial Judgment. “Which makes the better wife, a blond or a brunette?' asked a Chicago you:>g man of one who had Lad some mairimojui al experience. “It’s about six of one to half a dozen of the other,” replied the experienced one. “I've married both kinds.”—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.

A priceless relic of Revolutionary days has just been placed in the rtafobouso at Columbia, S. C., for safe keeping. It is the sword which Tarktcn t-s • in l ading the British troopers at the battle of Cow pens, that state, against the piatricts un der Morgan, Pickens, Sumter end Marion. The sword is the property of Colonel T. E. Dickson, and has been placed w ith the sword of Marion and other revolutionary relics in the possession of the state Tarleton lost the sword at the battle of Cowpens, where the patriots won such a signal victory, a victory which put fresh heart in their brethren throughout the colonies and hastened the coming of the triumphant end of the war at Yorktown Colonel William Washington, the gallant leader of the American cavalry, pressed Tarleton so closely in his fight as to be able to have one exchange of saber blows with the British leader. Washington's sword cut Tarleton’s fingers and the Brit ish colonel dropped bis steel, spurred his steed and obtained safety by flight. William Scott, the father of Colonel Dickson’s mother, was an American sol dier in the battle of Cowpens. He saw the fight between Washington and Tarleton and picked up the latteu’s sword when he dropped it. The sword has ever since been preserved in the family as a priceless trophy of ancestral prowess in tha Revolutionary war. Tho sword or saber, for tho blade curves back so as to give greater force to its blows, is long and heavy. The blade is a yard in length, while the hilt is slightly over 6 inches long, with an iron guard. There is a long scratch on the guard .and a cut in the iron knob at the end pf the hilt, which are believed to have been made by the blow of Washington’s sword which forced Tarleton to drop his weapon or which knocked it out- of his hand. The iron shank of the hilt is cased in wood, which was covered with leather, much of which has been worn away. Upon the blade, close to tho hilt, is en graved the word “Potter,” probably the name of its maker. There are many notches in the blade,' and some rust upon It, possibly made -by the blood of patriots wh-> had (eit- its edge. In fi:is connection it will not be amiss to repeat two anecdotes about Tarleton and Washington. The patriot ladies of the Revolutionary times had keen wits On one occasion Tarleton in a bragging mood was telling a patriot lady how he wished he could meet“tbeir boasted Coionol Washington.” Her prompt reply was. “If you l ad looked behind you when running away from Cowpens, your wish would have been gratified.” On another occasion Tarleton was speak ing contemptuously of Colonel William Washington to a patriot lady. “Why,”, said Tarleton, “they tell me he is so igno rant that lie cannot even write his name.” With a meaning glance at Tarleton’s right hand, which Washington had wounded, the lady replied, “Brit nobody is better aware than you, Colonel Tarleton, that Colonel Washington knows how to make bis mark.”—Washington Star.
