Damage Done by the Blow at Bar
tow and Wadley.
Atlanta, Ga. , Jan. 7.—The track of
the cyclone at Fayetteville is plainly visible
to-day, and prosautt a scene of utter deso
lation. To those who witnessed its fury, it
seem a miraculous thnt more livos were not
lost than those already reported. Houses
were blown entirely away, and not a traoe
of the material is to be found. Some of
the escapes were wonderful. A sick girl in
the Graham household was blown out of
bed, aud the next instant the hod was
blown to atoms by the fury of the storm.
A man named Sewell was directly in the
path of the cyclone, and when the wind be
came too strong to stand, he lay down in a
slight indentation in the ground and escaped
unhurt save a few bruises sustained by fall
ing timber striking him. Portions of the
alliance warehouse were blown fifteen miles
away and ara to-day regarded with great
curiosity. None of the injured have died
since yesterday and all are in a fair way to
recovery. Ali that is possible to alleviate
the suffering of the homeless is being done
by citizens of the surrounding country. A
subscription list Is being circulated and
contribution! are flowing in rapidly and
cheerfully.

A SCURRILOUS ATTACK.
Tho AUianceman Denounces the State
Supreme Court.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 7.—The Alliance
man, the new exponent of alliance doctrine,
published here, is out in au editorial to-day
bitterly attacking the supreme court of
Georgia. The article is headed, ‘■lmprison
ment for debt,” referring to the Ryan case.
It is a scandalous article and is denounced
vigorously by all oitizem with the slightest
degree of self-respect. The editorial is plen
tifully sprinkled with the most outrageous
epithets such as “crauks," "drunkards,” eto.
The conclusion of the infamous screed is as
follows: "That the courts, In reaching out
for power they do not legally have, violate
and trample under foot the organic, law of
the state cannot be wondered at, and It
will oontinue just as long as the judicial
policy of the state is dictated atid controlled
by a man whose sanity has long been ques
tioned, whose power has been weakeued,
and whose mind is clouded by the inordinate
use of rum. and who is so insanely convinced
of his infallibility that ho will participate in
the decißiou of a case whether he has heard
the argument in it or not. Our people may
not expect a pure and just administration
of the law until the bench is purified and
cranks and drunkards hurled from its high
est places.”
It seems to be the object of the Alliance
man to mike the Ryau case an issue in the
next legislative campaign. However, if there
has been any p pular seutiment aroused
heretofore by his case such an uncalled for
attack as the above will effectually squelch
it, and also the Allianceman.

FREIGHT ON PHOSPHATES
Florida Hoads to be Ordered to Baiee
Their Chargee.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 7.—The Southern
Railway and Steamship Ass ciatioo met
here to-day. Nearly every line in the South
Atlantic s'.ahe was represented. The pur
pose of the meeting waa to disiues freight
chargee on phosphate* and lumber from
. s utbern points ami reach some satisfactory
' means of equalizing such charges. The
meeting was called to order by president
Carter in the morning and the list of dele
gates, with the roadu they repre ent, was
read.
The first thing that came up for the con
sideration of the convention was the freight
rate on phosphates. The owners of ths
great phosphate tie's around Charleston
have been doing some very hard kicking
against the Chariest m roads for having a
higher rate on phosphates than the roads
leading to the Florida beds. For instance,
the rate on a ton from Charleston to At
lanta is only |k 10 and the Charleston men
want an equal! ration. After some debate
the convention decided to have the Florida
roads increase their charges to equal those
of the Ciiarlrstou roads. A resolution was
passed to this effec and the equalization
rate will go Into affect in the next thirty or
sixty days.
The discussion of the lumber rate was
postponed until the New York meeting on
Jan. 14.

The Henry County Rapist Rushed Off
to Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga. , Jan. 7.—John Berry, the
Henry county rapist who so narrowly es
caped death on the gallows, is in tba Fulton
jail. Ou Jan. 5, the day Gov. Northan com
muted his sentence to life imprisonment,
Berry was brought to Atlanta and turned
over to the jailer. The transfer was
managed so quietly, however, that it was
only to-day the fact of his being here leaked
out. Fear of lynching wss the cause of
Berry's removal from Hanry. He was con
victed on liec. 15 last, but the governor
granted him a respite until Jan. 8, pending
an investigation .fa petition for commu
tation to imprisonment for life. Many of
the peoole of Henry county
believe Berry guilty and when Gov.
Nortben’s final action in the case became
known, tho excitement waa intense and
threats of lynching were rife. The sheriff
concluded that the only way to save Ber
ry’s neck was to get him to a plaoe of safe
keeping and Atlanta was selected. He will
remain here until turned over to the peni
tentiary authorities.

Never Be Discovered.
Griffin, Ga., Jan. 7.—Dr. J. H. M. Bar

Creswell Sunday night, died from his inju

will forever escape detection and punish
mout. The mystery is veiled in as deep
gloom now as when the public was first ac
quainted with the details of the tragedy
through those dispatches, and now that Dr.
Barrett is dead it is hardly probable that
the public will ever be satisfied as to who
committed the deed, but to-morrow may
teil a different tale.

DRINKS IN THE CU BS.
A DECISION THAT THEY NEED NOT
FAY A LICENSE.
The Supreme Court of Bouth Carolina
Hands It Down—The Fight Made by
the Columbia Club-The Circum
stances Similar to Taoee Presented
by the Oglethorpe Club.
Columbia, 8. C\, Jan. 7. —A decision of
more than local interest was rendered by
the state supreme court to-day. involving
the question of the liability of sociai clubs
to pay license to the city for dispensing
liquor to their own members. The city
oouncil of Columbia, several months ago,
decided that the Columbia Club, a social
organization composed of leading business
and professional men, must pay the munici
pal liquor license, or else be liable to the
usual fine of S2O for failing to
do so. The club appealed to the
supreme court, which rendered its
decision to-day against the city. Some of
the principal points of the decision are us
follows: “The question whether social clubs
which raise their money by contributions
and then distribute refreshments among
their own members are liable to a lioense
tax for retailing spirituous liquors has been
considered by many of the courts of the
country, both in England and America.
The cases seem not to be in accord. We
have examined many of them in the hope
of beiug able to reconcile them, but have
found it impossible to do so.
CAUSE OF THE CONFLICT.
“We think, however, that much of the
seeming conflict aria* from two causes:
When the alleged dub, os a matter of fact,
is not bona fide what It purports to be, but
is a mere device to evade the law agaiDst
retailing without a license; in all such cases,
of course, they are liable.
“And, second, from the difference In the
terms of the various acts upon the subject,
each court construing for Itself the laws and
regulations of its own state. In tho oase
before us tho difficulty first above Indicated
is not in our way, for it has been conceded
and formally found that the Columbia Club
is a bona fide social organization for
the uses and purposes declared in its charter.
The question thou is whether under our
laws, properly construed, the city oouncil
of Columbia had the right to require the
Columbia Club to taka out a license of S2OO
for the year 1801 and to pay a fine of S2O
for not having done so. There are two
kinds of licenses,” the judges continues,
“oue known as a business lioense and the
other as a liquor lioense. With the first the
case has nothing to do, as it is conceded
that the club is not engaged in any
kind of trails, business or profession. Wo
have only to do then with the liquor license,
and it seems that ail the different provis
ions of our law upon the subject are col
lected in chapter 4 of the general statutes.
Section 17Sli’ provides that all cities and
towns shall have power to grant licenses for
the sale of spirituous liquors to keepers of
drinking saloons and eating houses, apart
from taverns. Section 1745 provides that
the persous engaged In retailing liquors
must expose their license to public
view, and the liquors shall be
sold in a room fronting a
publiostreot without curtains or device to
prevent the public from having a full view
of what is transpiring within. Now oou
sldering these provisions together, what
construction should be placed on them)
They are penal in their nature and should
bo strictly construed. Is it now perfectly
manifest that by the terms used the legis
lature did not intend to embrace social
orgaeziations such ns tho Columbia Club,
but on the contrary? The intent ®f the mean
ing of ail these provisions was to include
only the keepers of drinking
saloons.” The opinion holds iu
reference to the city ordinance paised
Deo. 22, 1800, requiring clubs to pay the
regular license, that the ordinance must be
construed in subordination to the general
law on the subject. The question whether
distributing liquors among their own.raem
liers constiiutes a sale within the meaning
of the statute is pext taken up. The court
holds that the club owned the liquors and
each member had a right to use his part if
ho pleased, and when he called for his
share or any part of it subject to ncoount,
it cannot be called an “unlawful salo.”

ADAMS HELD F OR TBI.NL.
Result of the Preliminary Hearing In
the Marianna Y.urdor Case.
Marianna, Fla., Jan. 7. —The prelim
inary bearing in the case of Choice Adams
charged with the murder of John R. Ely, an
account of which was published in the
Morni.no News several weeks ago,waa con
cluded Tuesday. The prisoner was re
manded to jail "without bail. The court
house, when the case was beard, was crowded
during the entire hearing.
Adams was represented by CoL R. H.
Walker of Columbia, Ala., and the state by
District Attorney W. H. Mil toil, Sr., as
sisted by B. S. Liddon. The following is a
brief history of the case: Ceibe Espy and
Will Holloway arrested John R Ely at
Greenwood in this county on Dec: 9, upon a
charge of an attempt to assault Holloway’s
daughter. They took him bsf re Justice Neal
who placet him in charge of Special Con
stables Henry Simmons and Choice Adams.
These [Arties took him to Holloway’s store
on the line of Alabama and Florida aud
kept him there until just after dark, when
ue was killed. The evidence showed that
Ely was of '•aid he would be killed that
night and he bagged for protection, but
according to the evidence Adams told him
that he needn’t take on and cry, fur they
were going to kill him anyway. By this
time anew party apiieared on the scene—
one B ick lialh Adams and Simmons both
claim that they were forced to submit and
that Hall, Hollaway and Espy made them
take Klv and start with him over to a bar
room Hollaway owned in Alabama, and as
they were walking, oue on each side of Ely,
on the mill dam Elv was shot from behind
and instantly killed. Hollaway then made
Simmons go with him and get shovels, etc.,
and help bury Eiy. How Ely’s body was
discovered and Hollaway killed has already
been given in the Morning News.
Simmons was here os a witness for the
statu, but as the case progressed it wan
thought best to put him under arrest, and
he is now in jail also, and will have a hear
ing in a few days.
Adams gave himself up and came into the
state without a requisition, thinking that
the evidence would be insufficient to hold
him.
The verdict is approved hero.
