CONTROL IIF THE SCHOOLS.
A Manifesto From the American Pro
tective Association.
The Old Cry Raised Against Dividing:
the Public School Fund With the
Roman Catholics—A Claim That the
Object Sought Is a Selfish One and
That a Majority of the People Are
Against It.
New York. Dec. 4.—The national league
for the protection of American institu
tions, known as the American Protective
Association, to-night issued a manifesto
on the school question, which has re
cently agitated the religious world.
•‘Popular suffrage." the manifesto says,
“here rests for its safe exercise upon the
character and intelligence of all classes
of the people. The republic, for its own
preservation. has established and
must insist upon maintaining a
free common school system of educa
tion. It must be maintained without
compromise. It is the only institution
capable of converting the dangerously
heterogeneous elements of our population
into a safely homogeneous citizenship.
The tax for the maintenance of public
schools, levied upon all citizens, whether
they have children to educate or not, is
for the public good, and not for private
benefit The state opens its schools
with eaual advantages to the children
of all citizens. Its laws make no distinc
tion as to the crfed of individual in the
choice of its teachers. In the state of
New York no conpulsory law exists re
quiring the attendance of children upon
the common schools of the state. The
state dogs not deny the right to parents,
organizations or churches to establish
and maintain private or parochial schools
at their own expense.
A MOVEMENT TO DIVIDE THE FfNDS.
“A movement, however, with audacious
demands and specious claims is on foot in
the state for the odivision of the public
school funds on sectarian lines, and it
is announced that the same programme is
proposed for all the states. That this has
mainly in view selfish and not public ends
is shown by the fact that the movement
is being pushed almost by a single reli
gious denomination which for many years,
by its chief authorities.hasbeen assaulting
thepublic school system. A few of its
more liberal representatives have toler
ated the system, and have sought in many
ways to control it. Every compromise,
however, between sectarian and public
schools, which has previously been tried,
has invariably resulted in the humiliat
ing surrender of some vital principle of
public school education. It is uudoubt
edly true that a majority of
the citizens of even the denomina
tion making these demands prefer the
public schools for their children and
patronize them whenever free to do so.
It is unquestionably true that a full pro
portion of the teachers in the public
schools are attached to the church which
by many of its officials antagonizes this
common school system.
A CLEAN CUT ISSUE.
“It is auspicious for the republic that the
demands made are now plainly set forth
and clearly defined. There is now no op
portunity for the compromising citizen or
politician to evade the responsibility. The
question is not, are these common schools
capable of improvement ! The questions
presented by the proposed bill, and which
now demand an answer, are:
“1. Shall the whole principle on which
the common school rests, i. e.: the
right and duty of the state to educate
impartially its own children for intelli
gent citizenship, be surrendered to its en
emies?
“2. Shall the common schools be disin
tegrated and destroyed by the dispersion
and use of their funds for sectarian ends?
“3. Are our citizens in favor of the
union of church and state in the most
dangerous possible feature of such union,
viz., in the fundamental and elementary
education of future citizens?
The questions now demand an answer
and must be permanently settled for weal
or woe. We believe they will be settled
in the interest of the whole and not the
interest of any one class of our citizens
however specious their claims or urgent
their demands.”
TO REMAIN IN THEIR CELLS.
Missouri's Imprisoned Judges Fail
in an Effort to Get Out.
Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 4.—The su
preme court to-day in banc decided that
the St. Clair county judges must remain

ceeding of habeas corpus instituted by
the St. Clair county judges for release
from their imprisonment by or
der of Judge Phillips. of
the federal court for contempt
in disobeying the peremptory writ of
mandamus issued by the federal court in

BITTEN BY A DOG.
The Hand of a Coast Line Conductor
Badly Lacerated.
Charleston, S. C., Dec. 4.—A special
from Florence, S. C., to the News and
Courier says: “Capt. Harold M. Brun
son, one of the Coast Line’s most popular
conductors, was fearfully bitten by a mad
dog Saturday afternoon. Capt. Brun
son was pursuing the dog to kill him
and had Area at him with a pistol at the
cotton oil mill. The dog turned and
jumped on Mr. Brunson, biting him on
the right hand, tearing the back of his
hand out, together with the sinews. Dr.
Covington dressed the wound. Capt.
Brunson left at once for New York,
where he will undergo treatment at the
Pasteur institute.”

dently harbored the purpose which he
carried out to-day by arming himself with

with a two-handed blow, crushing in the
skull for three inches. The murderer

HEROES OF THE EPIDEMIC.
Men Who Stuck to Their Posts When
Death Stalked at Brunswick.
Brunswick. Ga., Dec. 4.—While the
Brunswick epidemic is over and will soon
bo forgotten, there are some men con
nected with its past workings whose
names will long be remerultered in con
nection with it. These men, by their
modest, unassuming heroism, may not go
down in history’s pages as worthy of em
ulation by future generations, but their
records during the trying times
of Brunswick's troubles stand un
blemished by selfishness or ideas
of assumed martyrdom. They worked
for the love they bore humanity in dis
tress. Their labors will counterbalance
many of the errors which may be charged
against them in the great book above.
While many have been mentioned
through the daily reports in the Moknino
News there remained some which are
entitled to special mention by one who
has watched their work and noted its
earnestness.
Now that the excitement and rush at
tendant upon the actual existence of the
fever lias subsided I desire to especially
mention some whom lack of opportunity
has somewhat prevented.
One of Brunswick's citizens,
who at heart is a nobleman,
is Joseph W. Wallace. Remaining
here to help his fellow creatures he
labored for the good he could do. When
scarcity of money prevented competent
nurses from being secured, heor his faith
ful wife placed their business in employ
ees' hands, and leaving mat and a com
fortable home, took their chosen places
by the side of the sufferers. So money
reward did they expect or receive, hut
while one brewed the broth to nourish
the patient the other watched life linger
in the body, and soothed the aching head
with kindly touches. Night and day this
patient, hopeful couple nursed their
friends, and when the relief, sent from a
generous public, enabled the committee to
supply nurses on salaries, they re
tired to their home and business,
for they desired not mer
cenary reward but the conscious
ness of having' done their duty all
through the painful days that slowly
dragged their weary hours, wearing out
heart, soul and body of those then here.
Mr. Wallace and his kind hearted wife
furnishod food to those they knew were
in need, yet who hesitated to apply for
relief. Mr. Wallace’s work did not stop
here, for on his rounds about the streets
he saw the formerly petted animals of
once happy households prowling about in
search of food. To these his house was
open, and in his rear yard a happy family
of cats and dogs, well fed and fat, bear
evidence to his friendship lor anything
that lives and suffers for food and pro
tection .
In the telephone service of Brunswick,
J. R. Thompson is uow manager. He
came here when the epidemic was de
clared. and has remained and worked
faithfully and well to keep the wires in
order and the world in speaking distance.
The company has rewarded him by mak
ing his management permanent. By this
act they have pleased Brunswickians both
here and abroad. He is a young man with
a bright future before him, which his
friends feel assured will be made the
most of.
G. F. Cates, operator of Western
Union telegraph, who has daily and
solely sat at the keys from 8 in the morn
ing until 2at night, has been the people's
great help. When his co-worker, the
lamented Ennis, died. Cates's work was
doubled, and he wired the newspaper re
ports daily and nightly, keeping the pub
lic informed of the condition here. His
work is a tribute to his worth as an op
erator and man. In the office work Mr.
Cates was assisted by Messrs. Willie An
derson and Frank Herzog, clerks, Johnnie
McCullough and Jimmie Creamer, mes
sengers, all true blue. They never
flinched when cases ran highest The
manager, Miss Cleminson, while not
liking newspaper reference to
herself, deserves recognition as
to her bravery and pluck. Her
modesty is equaled by her worth.
Assistants Chief of Police Robert Levi
son, quiet, unassuming, brave, and yet
gentle when occasion requires, stood by
Brunswick, and with Chief Beach's
officers, Abell and Denby. paced the walks
at all hours watching the property that
needed protection, none but these re
maining. and in the darkest days of her
affliction Brunswick never contained truer
or braver friends.
W. H. Rainey, deputy clerk of the su
perior court, was always near when
needed, and no second call was ever made
for him to respond. The records of the
court were safe in his hands, and when
opportunity presented he was ever ready
to assist with the sick.
L. C. Boclet. acting secretary of the
board of health and relief committee and
acting eitv clerk and treasurer, of whom
little has been said, deserves unlimited
and unreserved praised for his duty, well
done. Uncomplaining when his work was
greatest he has proven of untold aid to
those he served. With his family away
he has labored hard to do his duty, and
not in one instance has failed.
Chief Saunders, of the fire department,
and his co-workers have been frequently
mentioned, hut a fleeting reminder of
their watchfulness to prevent fires will
not be out of place in these sketches.
Lea Robinson, acting agent for the
East Tennessee road, working daily un
loading the cars filled with provisions
sent by the public, lias done phenomenal
work. He never tired of doing good, and
deserves the recognition now accorded
him. Agents Charles W. Floyd and J. A.
Montgomery and Yardmaster W. A.
Florid, of the Brunswick and Western
road, have all worked daily, quietly, but
efficeutly. for Brunswick. They are true
men. who never Hindi when duty calls.
Agents Knight and Trenholtn, of the
express company, have been here through
the troubles, and did their work well.
There are others here who have shown
their colors during the siege. Their
names are not omitted from lack of cour
tesy, and many have been mentioned be
fore. Their records speak for them
selves, and while memory fails and space
forbids their mention in this article, it
he remembered by them that they
a* appreciated for their worth, and 1
would be more than pleased to devote
columns of deserved tribute to them
selves. If any feel hurt at their omission,
attribute it to other causes than that 1
fail to appreciate them.

MANNING'S FIRE.
The Loss Estimated at 860.000 to
$75,000, With Insurance of $35,-
000.
Charleston, S. C.. Dec. 4. —A special to
the News and Courier from Manning,
says: “On Saturday night our town was
visited by the most destructive fire we
have had for years, a brief mention of
which was sent you while the fire was in
progress. It was discovered at 7:40 p. m.
in the upper story of Ixgg & Hutchins'
livery stable, among the hay.
“It then reached Webber's market and
Thames’ restaurant, destroying both
buildings in a short time.
• it next caught the bank of Manning.
Sires & Chandlers furniture store, and
the mammoth establishment of Moses
Levi quickly following.
“The flames then crossed the street,
burning the two stores of Weinberg .t
Strauss, one being occupied by Louis
Lyons.
•The Western Union office and the of
fice of the Manning Times then followed
“It was feared at one time that the en
tire business portion of the town was
gone, but the heroic work of the citizens
saved it.
"Sumter sent down a special train with
one engine and two reels, but it came too
late to be ol assistance. It was not their
fault, however, as they were not tele
graphed for in time. They landed at our
depot just twenty minutes after they
were notified. The prompt response of
the boys of our mother county will not
soon be forgotten.”
“The cause of the fire is unknown.
“The total loss is est imated at from $60,-
000 to 475,000, with insurance of $35,000.
"The burned district will be rebuilt
with handsome buildings as soon as the
insurance adjusters come down and set
tle the loss.
“All the merchants are doing business
at various places in town. The bank
opened promptly at 9o'clock. The tele
graph office is running at the Atlantic
Coast line depot.”

FAINTED IN A BARBER’S CHAIR.
One of Brunswick’s Plucky Operators
Worn Out By the Long Siege.
Brunswick, Ga., Dec. 4.—One of to
day's incidents was the fainting of G. T.
Cater while sitting in a barber's chair.
Cater for the last ninety days and nights
has held down the keys in the Western
Union office. The mental and physical
strain on his mind and system.undermined
his strength to such an extent that to
day nature rebelled and asserted herself.

after some minutes restored Cater and
sent him to bed. To-night he is again at
the key doing his work. His nerve now
equals his courage during the recent
siege.

Brunswick, Ga., Dec. 4.—Politics took
anew turn to-day by the rumors that M.
Isaacs had declined to run for alderman
|on the grounds of business duties. A
mass meeting will be held to-morrow

business men in office, irrespective of

from this campaign, and politicians and
people will unite in placing good men in

A BAD SCHEDULE.
That is the Way the Guitman People
Look at It.
Quitman, Ga., Dec. 4.—The new
schedule which went into effect on the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway
yesterday is not liked here at all. and
business men and citizens generally are
kicking against it. The great kick is
over the long delay in the mail on No. 23.
This train leaves Savannah at
2:29 a. in. arrives at Waycross
at 5:45 and there for mail and
passengers for this section, is a wait of
from four to five hours. 23 arriving
here after 12 o’clock. This not only
makes this section several hours behind
in receiving its letter mail from Savan
nah and New York, but what is harder
to bear than ali else, it doesn't give the
people here the Savannah Moknino News
until after 12 o'clock, when, if this olay
over in Waycross was done away with,
that paper would reach here by 8 o'clock
in the morning. Another apparent dis
crimination against this end of the road
is that no connection is made at Way
cross with No. 35, the fast morning train
from New York. This train brings the
New York papers. These papers
get to Waycross at 11:20 a. m.,
and do not reach here until
after 12 o’clock the following day. Out
side of the great inconvenience in the
mails, this schedule is inexcusably hard
on passengers from Savannah and points
north of this section. The passenger who
wants to go from Savannah to Quitman
or Thomasviile will have to leave Savan
nah either on 23 at 2:29 a. m., wait four
to five hours at Waycross and
arrive at his destination the middle of the
next day, or leave Savannah on No. 5
at 6:50 p. m.. and get to tiis journey's end
between midnight and daylight. This
section wants nothing but fair play, but it
does not feel like it is being treated justly
if the present schedule is allowed
to stand. It subjects it to
hardships and inconveniences, both in
mail delivery and passenger service,
which the officials of the road should not
allow, and it is not believed that they will
when they see the workings of the
schedule on this part of tne road.
HARRY HILL STILL FREE.
A Reward of SSO Offered to Stir up
the Cincinnati Detectives.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 4 Harry Hill is
still a fugitive from justice. Since his
release from jail in Cincinnati last Sat
urday. he has not been heard of by the
Atlanta authorities. Officer Jett,
who was sent after Hill,
has taken quarters in Cincinnati
waiting developments. The wires have
been kept hot to-day with messages in
reference to Hill, and this afternoon the
chief of police telegraphed an offer of a
reward of SSO for Hill's capture. There is
some suspicion that he is somewhere in
Cincinnati within sight of the detectives
and that they are only waiting for the re
ward which was offered to-day.
A JAIL BREAKER CAGED.
He Has Escaped From Officers Many
Times and From Prison Twice.
Jackson, Miss. Dec. 4. —Brooks Story
was safely landed in the penitentiary
this afternoon. He has been one of the
hardest criminals to keep ever incarcera
ted in the stateiprison. Besides escaping
several times from officers, he has es
caped from the penitentiary twice, the
last time on Dec. 26, 1892, when he dug
his way out of his cell.
Matters of Interest in Eastman.
Eastman. Dec. s.—The Mornixg
News reached us yesterday at 8:25 a. m.
under the new schedule. This is a grand
improvement.
Eastman is building up some. Mr.
John Caldwell is erecting a fine residence.
Mr. Sam Rogers intends his fine building
on the court house square for a hotel.
The yellow jack refugees have all re
turned to their homes from this place.
Mr. Carr has in operation a cotton com
press here of his own invention, at a cost
of about SSOO, that will pack about forty
bales a day.
Oliver Items.
Oliver, Ga.. Dec. 4.—Geo. Connor, a
well-known citizen of this county, died
last night. He had been ill a long time.
Rev. Mr. Hunt, of Guyton, has accepted
the pastorate of the Baptist church at
this place and will preach here next Sun
day.
