BROTHERS IN A FIGHT.
ONKOF THEM FATALLY CCT WHILE
DEPENDING FIS FATHER.
The Trouble Caused by the Father
Remonstrating With His Elder Son
for the Wlclced Life He Led--A Sister
Stabbed In the Arm During the
Encounter.
Carrollton, Ga., Jan. 17.—News of a
terrible cutting affray reached here this
evening from the eastern part of this county.
Thomas Freest is a good citizeD and farmer
living six miles east of Carrollton, and he
has two sons. Bud and John. Bud is mar
ried an! has three little children, but Bud
and his wife do not live like two doves.
Another woman is at the bottom of Bud’s
troubles. Reports are that be has two
wives liviig in th > same house and it wav
this and Bud’s brutal treatment of lm law
ful wife that caused Bud’s father, who is a
law-abiding citizen, to remonstrate with
his wicked son and is the cause ot the fatal
setting of John Freast and the serious stab
bing of his sister. The father gave his son
Bud a talk about bis wicked ways a.d Bud
became quite angry and heaped all kiuds of
•base upon his aged father.
THE FIuHT.
This was resented bv Johu, Breast’s
younger son, and a terrible fight was the
result, in which Bud used a knife on bis
young brother and cut him probably fa
tally. During the fignt a sister of tiie com
batants ran between them and a blow of
Bud's kDife, which was intended for John,
found its way into bis sister's arm. The
mother of tbs boys fainted during the fight
and is not expected to live. Bud Breast is
one-armed but a man of bad reputation.
His neighbors 6ay he makes his
wife work and support bitn, his concubine
and three children at the point of a week
tol. His wife ran away from home last pis
aod went to her sister’s, but Bud went the
next morning and compelled her to go back
home and chastised her severely with a big
hickory club, and threatened to shoot her if
she left borne again. He compels his wife
to do the bidding of his concubine at the
point of a pistol. It has been whispered
that white caps would get in tbeir work on
Breast, but as the law will now take cog
nizance of the case they will abandon It.
M’CLEAKN’A BEQUiiST.
The State School Ccmmiaeloner Work
ing to Secure the Fund.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 17.— 0n Feb. 5 a case
will be decided by the court of Glasgow,
Scotland , which will probably result in
about 115,000 being sent to the state of
Georgia for the education of the mgroes of
Chatham and neighboring counties along
the coast. The case to be pa-sed upon
at that time is the disposition of
money left by John McClearn of
Glasgow for the education of
the descends:.ts of uegroes living on what
was, in 18S4, the time of the bequest, known
as the Gowrie plantation, 'ibis plantatiou
has been located on Argyle island on the
Savannah river, eight miles from Savan
nah. The state school c •mmissioner, who
bas been negotiating to secure the legacy
through the United States consul at Glas
gow for several months past, to-day re
ceived the final pape.s to tie filed in
fhe ease. These papers simply set forth
the authority of the state board
of education to take charge of
the mouey and the authority of the state of
Georgia to educate the negro. The money,
which was derived from the sale of part of
the Gowrie plantation, was bequeathed to
uegroes or tbeir descendant* residing on that
plantation for educational purposes. As It
will be exceedingly difficult to apoly the
money strictly as it was intended, it'ls be
lieved that an effort will be made
to have it turned over to the negro
normal and industrial school at Bavannab.
At all events the money will he used for the
negroes of Chatham county and border
counties, as Con missioner Brad well, in in
stituting his claim to the fund, set forth to
the Bootcn court that in diitributiug it
there It would in all likelihood reach thoie
for whom it was intended on aooount of the
peculiarity of coast nsgroes, who rarely
migrate to other parts permanently.
HISTORY TO BE TAUGHT.
iA New Study Added to the Currio
ulum of the Public Schools.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 17. — The state board
of education to-day held an important
meeting, at which the question of making
history a part of the course of study in the
common schools of the state came up for
final action, this matter having beeu dis
cussed at a meeting held a week ago. At
the former meeting it was praotically de
cided that history should be added to the
course of study, but at the meeting to day on
order was passed making it compulsory
pn the various boards of county schools
commissioners to adopt a history and
compulsory on students in the
eommon schools of the state
•o study the history prescribed. The board
•Iso requires that all teachers lu the com
mon schools shall be examined on history
the same as they are upon other studies of
the common school curriculum before they
•re granted license to teach. In referring
to the action of the board Commissioner
Brad well said that the adoption of historv
•s part of the studies in the common schools
meant the outlay of about IKK),000 on the
part of the people of the state who are
patrons of the common schools.

three weeks has been the longest cold spell
that we have ever had in this section. The

for saving meat and many a fine old porker
has been consigned to the slaughter. The
farmers in this locality are In fine shape
having an abundance of bome-predured
supplies. Having raised an immense
grain crop the past season and having had
such fine weather for saving their meat
there is no complaint m the “hog and
hominy” question. Corn bas been belling
here this winter as low as 30 cents a bushel,
and I aw seventy-five bushels slid at pri
vate sale this afternoon at S4O. Corn is be

RATE CUTTING IN DIXIE.
a lack of harmony in the
HAILWAY ASSOCIATION.
Floes of $2,000 Imposed by the Com
missioner of the Association Re
mitted at Ita Meeting—An Attempt
to Have Unprofitable Rates to New
Orleans Advanced Proves Futile-
New York, Jen. 17. —The Herald, this
morning, prints the following: “There was s
good deal of talk about harmony and the
transaction of a great deal of business at the
long session of the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association in this city that has
just closed. Tbls talk bad its effect where
it was most desired, but now that the meet
ing is over it may be stated that very little
was aocemplihbed except to show the futil
ity of the attempt at an agreement of the
southern lines like that of nearly all the
other associations that support a corps of
high-priced officials. They met chiefly to
adjust tne freight rates on a better paying
bams. Freight rates have been abnormally
low, and some of the railroads have been
carrying tonnage at losiDg rates.
THE FIRST STEP PROPOSED.
‘ ‘Tbe first steps proposed was to raise the
rates 3 to 1 cents per 100 pounds on certain
classes of heavy freight bound from tbe
northwest to southeastern points; in ether
words, grain, hay and other products com
ing through Memphis and the Missisippi
points to the seaboard at Savannah, Bruns
wick, Pensacola, Mobile and tbe like. But
when it came to getting the general con
sent of the roads represented. President
Clarke of the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad Company; refused to raise
the rates on these commodities to
Mobile, which is t e southern terminus of
his road unless the Illinois Central Railroad
Company would raise the rate to ?ew
Orleans. The rates to tbe two points are
now the same, and consequently neither
city infringes upon the business of the other.
According to President Clarke, if the rate
to Naw Orleans were lower than that to
Mobile, tbe Few Orleans merchants could
reach out and gather in tbe business of the
Mobile trade. This he did not intend to
allow. The rates must be the same to New
Orleans as to Mobile.
PISH DECLINES TO RAISE.
"President Clarke then asked President
Stuyvesant FUh of tbe Illinois Central
whether be would raise the rate to New Or
leans 8 cents a hundred if the Mobile and
Ohio would do tbe same to Mobile. Presi
dent Fish refused, alleging ihat the com
petitlon of the Mississippi river boats pre
vented bis company from doing so. The
Illinois Central quotes the same rates from
Memphis to New Orleans that the boats do,
which commodities in question net tbe rail
road only about half a cent a ton per mile.
Thai eis said to be no profit to the Illinois
Central in this business, whereas it might
realize something on what it did carry if it
raised tbe rate 3 cents a hundred pounds.
” There was some sparring over the case.
Many ot tbe roads wantad to refer the ques
tion to arbitration, but President Clarke
said that no good could come of this. He
had authority to say then and thsi e what
bit road would do, be would order tbe rate
raised the very moment that President Fish
of the Illinois Central would agr< e to do the
same. Thus the matter rested without any
couclus on being reaohed.
PENALTIES A DEAD LETTER.
“A thing that showed what penalties
amount to in tbe soutt trn ass elation was
the treatment of a violation of an agree
ment by two of tbe roads, said to
be the Louisville and Nashville and
the Kansas City, Memphis au-1 Birm
ingham It was agreed that there should
bo uo milling in transit south of the Ohio
river. Tbe*e two companies Ignored the
rule and allowed milling in transit privi
leges at Nashville and elsewhere. It is
understood by railroad men that this is
but ons of th > many forms of rat* cutting,
and so .tbs commissioner held when be
learned the particulars. He assessed the
offending roads $2,000 apiece. They com
plained at the meeting and a motion was
made that the fine he remitted. After
some discussion the motion is said to have
bean agreed to. Whereupon one of tboae
prooenl echoed the sentiment ot the rest
when he saiJ: ‘Hereafter our cotnpanv
will giant miffing in transit privilege's
whenever and wherever we see fit.’ These
two incidents do not look muoh like har
mony. The only two questions that were
settled were unimportant.”
The Result of Merit.
When anything stands a test of fifty years
among a discriminating people like tbe
Americans, it is pretty good evidence tbat
there is merit somewhere. Tbe value of a
medicine is best proved by its continued use
from year to year by the same persons and
families, a* well as by a steady increasing
sale. Few, if any, mediciue* have met with
such continued success and popularity a*
has marked tbe introduction and prog, ess
of Buandkth’b Pills which, after a trial
of over fifty years, are conceded to be the
safest and most effective purgative aud
blood purifier introduced to the publio.
Tbat this is the result of merit, and that
Br andeth’b Pills actually perform all that
is claimed for them, is conclusively proved
by tbe fact that those who regard them
with the greatest favor are those who have
used them the longest.
JBhandkth's Pills are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.— ad,
EX-PRESIDENT HAYES DE ID.
Rheumatism of the Heert Carries Him
C'ff Suddenly.
Fremont, 0., Jan. 17.—Ex-President
Rutherford B. Hayes died et 11 o'oljck to
night. Early in the eveniug an inquiry
elicited the response tbat tbe
general had passed a fairly well
day and was resting nicely. Ths
change from better to worse was
rapid, and at 11 o’clock the ex-President
passed away. The first intelligence of this
was received when Webb C. Hayes went
downtown and quietly announced that his
father had just died.
Ex-President Hayes was brought here
last Saturday, suffering from an attack of
rheumatism of the heart. It was the
second attack of the kind be had suffered
within two weeks and his condition was
regarded as somewhat serious and excited
the alarm of his family. Encouragement
given them by tbe family physician
led them to believe the general would soon
recover. For this reason aii knowledge of
ex-President Hayes’ illness was kept from
tbe public, and tbe fact that be was suffer
ing from heart trouble did not become
known until yesterday afternoon. While
Dr. Hilbert remained almost constantly at
the patient’s bedside no alarming symptoms
appeared until this evening, when he be
came rapidly worse.
