CANINE DAY IN CAROLINA.
THE “CALLER” DOG AGAIN BEFORE
THE EEGISLATTBC.
The Poor. H*lMl>rrd Cnr of the
Stale Flail Friends Few in A um
ber—The Lawmakers Anxious to
Give Them a I>iet of Leaden Pel
lets—The Legislature In a Mood to
Investigate Everything In Sight.
Columbia. S. C., Jan. 21.—" Taller dogs”
and more investigations were the order of
the day in the House of Representatives
to-day. L. J. Williams is still after the
higher educational institutions with a
sharp stick, and has Introduced a concur
rent resolution providing for an Investi
gating committee to look Into the man-
affairs of each of them. In
urging the adoption of the resolutions, he
made a statement to the House in which
he made some pointed references to the
condition of afTairs at the Winthrop Nor
mal College and the management of its
finances by Its board of trustees.
He is also after those members of the
House who are retaining their seats,
though holding other positions under the
state government. He has offered a con
current resolution In regard to the mat
ter.
The general assembly seems to be In
a notion to Investigate nearly everything
in connection with the state government
now, no doubt with a view to starting out
under the new constitution with all the
light turned on. The special committee,
charged with investigating the condlton
of affairs at the state prison, is now at
work. • ... . .
The investigation matter did not. how
ever. come up till the session was about
ending. Up to that time the "Taller Hog"
had been claiming the attention of the
House. It was the first "dog day or
the session, and the "poor man’s friend
and companion” found himself for the
first time unable to whip out and stam
pede his enemies. They drove him in a
corner and he could find but little more
than a score of friends to rally round his
flag—the flag that has "ever been known to
wave proudly in the air.” When the
House got through with him the hand
writing on the wall said he must find
himself a home and keep it, ceasing to lie
a tramp, or else make the vain endeavor
to suhsist on a diet of leaden pellets. As
the state has not yet established a mail
house for canines losing their senses from
excessive mental worry, it was also de
creed that when the "yaller dog" gives
signs of mental decay he must forthwith
be executed.
In the Senate the chaplain to-day made
a special prayer for the Cuban patriots.
The only feature of the session was the
Introduction of a bill instructing the at
torney general to investigate the law, and
see if the Boston purchasers of the Co
lumbia canal are not bound to complete
the canal as originally projected, carry
ing it nearly two miles beyond the pres
ent terminus.
THE OOXINfi COLONISTS.
They Are Settling by the Thousands
In South Georgia.
Waycross, Ga., Jan. 21.—G. W. Shults
and several of his colonists have arrived
In advance of the first regular excursion
to Elwood Park, which will reach here
on the 30th inst. They are members of
the Grand Army of the Republic and they
participated yesterday in the Lee anni
versary celebration.
Mr. Shults, who is the organiser of the
Elwood Park colony, is quite at home in
the south. He was in Sherman’s march
through Georgia to the sea. He has been
in the south much of his time during the
past seven years.
“I am Inclined to think,” he said, “that
the south deserves highest praise for her
great growth since the war. The north
could not have overcome similar circum
stances so well as the south. Southern
people seem to have forgotten the late
war. and they give the federal veterans
a most cordial welcome. I tell the people
in the north that the south is the best
outside field for northern capital, and that
here is the land of plenty, sunshine and
hospitality.
hospitality.
“I have more than ten persons traveling
through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Ken
tucky and West Virginia in the. interest
of the colony. They work under my in
structions, and they are making favor
able reports of their progress.
"Twenty families are now on the way
from Indiana In covered wagons and I
expect them to reach the colony by
March. About seventy-five persons are
In the party. Two of thorn are Free
Methodist ministers, and the others are
farmers. They are coming in wagons so
that they can see the country.
“An excursion will leave Columbus, 0..
on Jan. 28. More than fifty families will
form the excursion. They will stay in
Waycross until they can secure homes at
Elwood Park. Another excursion will
come on Feb. 7, and regular excursions
will be run to the colony once or twice a
month.
"Five hundred good families will come
during the next few months.
"We will begin at once the erection of
a good hotel, a boarding house and sev
eral two storv residences. The colonists
will do all the work.
"Negroes will not be allowed to work
at Elwood Park, and I shall not allow
them to own property in our settlement.
We shall bring our money here for in
vestment. and we expect good results.
“An artesian well will be sunk as soon
as possible, and trenches will be dug
for the purpose of draining the land.
"A movement is on foot to establish a
palmetto pulp mill, and several small fac
tories will be erected as soon as possible.”
Mr. Shults went to Savannah to-day to
arrange with Col. Ft. W. Wrenn of the
Plant system for rates for his colonists
from Columbus, O. When he returns he
will give orders for lumber and other ma
terial for building houses and factories
at Elwood Park.
A colony will also be started by Mr.
Shults this fall at Kingsland, in Camden
county, Georgia

Bt RIAL OF BIHOP HAYGOOD.
The gcrvlcea Held In the Methodist
Church'at Covington.
Oxford. Ga., Jan. 21.—The funeral of
Bishop A. tj. Haygood took place this
morning at 11:30 o’clock. The coffin was
carried from the home of the deceased by
the pallbearers to the church, which is
only a short distance from the residence.
The pall-bearers were Revs. M. L. Trout
man. W. Pierce and Jim Eaks of the North
Georgia conference. R. L. Avery and A.
J. Smith of Atlanta, and C. C. Smith of
Palmetto.
The students and professors of Emory
College were formed in line, according to
classes, and accompanied the family pro
cession to the church, and after the ser
vices there led the procession to the ceme
tery.
Tiie church was filled to its utmost ca
pacity. and standing room only was to be
had even in the galleries.
The chancei, inside of which the casket
was placed, was a perfect tower of ce
dars, ferns and chysanthemums, while
the casket was surrounded and covered
with wreaths, crosses and other emblems
made of white and light yellow rose buds.
The services were opened with a volun
tary by the choir, "Asleep in Jesus.” Then
I>r. Walker Lewis read a hymn, "The
Righteous Marching On,” and Bishop led
the congregation in prayer.
Dr. Stradley of Augusta read the nine
tieth psalm, and Dr. Candler a part of
the fifteenth chapter of Corinthians. Then
Dr. Hoss of Nashville. Tenn., announced
a hymn, after which -Bishop Duncan de
livered the funeral sermon. He outlined
the bishop’s life of manifold usefulness,
and told of his many virtues in words
as pure, as simple, and yet eloquent in
their simplicity even as Bishop Haygood
himself, if that be possible, had always
used on similar occasions. He did not
announce his text until he had finished,
and in so doing, he said: "If all else I
have said be forgotten, let this be re
membered: ’lt is well done, good and
faithful servant.’ ”
Dr. McDonald then read the resolutions
passed by the hoard of Baptist ministers
of Atlanta, and after singing "A Wayworn
Traveler.” all repaired to the cemetery,
where the last rites were concluded by
Bishops Duncan and Hargrove.
After these Bishop Williams of the col
ored Methodist church read a letter from
the people of his church acknowledging
their love for Bishop Haygood and their
appreciation of the great services he had
rendered them and their race.
AUGUSTA'S DEAD CHINAMAN.
No Clew to the Identity of the Mur
derer Discovered Y’et.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 21.—N0 clue has yet
been discovered to the murderer of the
Chinaman, Yep Sang. The resident
Chinamen publish a card, declaring there
are no grounds whatever for the rumor
that it was the work of Highbinders.
They say there is no strange Chinaman
in the city and all those resident here
were good friends of the murdered man
and are quite anxious to discover his
murderer. W. H. Bingham has been ap
pointed administrator of Yep Bang’s es
tate. He found $463 in the iron safe and
about $450 worth of stock. There will be
some $llOO residue when all the debts are
paid, and this will probably be employed
in sending the remains to China for
burial.
Augusta’s horse and chicken show will
open to-morrow and promises to be a
great success. There are many entries In
both departments of the show.
Charles F. Lombard, brother of Georga
R. Lombard, president of Augusta's big
foundry and boiler works, died last night
of pneumonia. Mr. Lombard was himself
engaged in the business until a year ago,
when he sold out to his brother and went
out into the country to become a farmer.
He was 40 years old, and leaves a wife
and several children.
Miss Elbe O’Connor died last night. She
was the daughter of M. C. O’Connor, a
well known employe of the Georgia road.
WAR LOOKED FOR BY THE WORLD.
Pulitzer and Creel man Harry Back
to New York.
Brunswick, Ga.. Jan. 21.—James Creel
man. the famous war correspondent,
reached Brunswick this morning bound
for Jekyl Island to meet Joseph Pu
litzer, proprietor of the World. While
he was on the dock waiting for a launch
to take him to Jekyl the club yacht steam
ed up with Mr. Pulitzer on board. The
two conversed hurriedly for a few min
utes and then proceeded to the north
bound train, taking it for New York. Sud
den changes in Mr. Pulitzer's plans caus
ed him to leave Jekyl before his
war correspondent could reach there, and
the conclusion reached by many is that
Creelman will be sent to watch the move
ments of the flying squadron. Mr. Pulit
zer came to Jekyl a sick man and has
spent his time there in bed under a phy
sician's treatment. He was to remain six
weeks, and his sudden recovery and de
parture is creating considerable specula
tion. The remainder of his party are on
the way to the island, and it is presumed
Mr. Pulitzer will shortly join them, as
he carried no heavy baggage.

Gentlemen—l never expected to give a
testimonial to any proprietary medicine,
but I really feed it to be my duty to ex
press my gratitude to you for what Dr.
Charcot's Kola Nervine Tablets have
done for me. For ten years I have been
the suffering victim of nervous prostration
and nervous dyspepsia. I cannot begin to
tell you or rememlier the remedies I have
taken or the prescriptions I have tried.
Take what I would I grew worse instead
of better and was well nigh discouraged.
Then came the grateful change. One
month ago—on the advice of my brother,
who sent me a box—l commenced taking
Dr. Charcot's Kola Nervine Tablets. I have
taken one box and gained five pounds.
But lhat is nothing compared to the
physical relief I have experienced. I am
better and happier than I have been for

Yours gratefully, Mrs. Lula Gleason.”

THE CHAPLAIN PRAYS FOR MISS
BARTON AND HER PARTY.
A Resolution of Inquiry Concerning:
the Equipments of Ocean Steamers
for the Preservation of Ilfs—A
Perversion of the Conarresalonnl
Record—Mr. Crisp Makes a Point on
the Action on the Report of the
Committee on Rules.
Washington, Jan. 21.—1n his opening
prayer Chaplain Couden of the House in
voked the blessing of God upon Miss Bar
ton. the president of the Red Cross So
ciety. and her party in their trip to Tur
key.
A resolution of inquiry, reported from
the committee on interstate and foreign
commerce by Mr. Bennett, rep., of New
York, was agreed to, directing the Secre
tary of the Treasury to inform the House
whether or not, in his opinion, the regu
lations for the safety of the public in
ocean travel are adequate, and if so,
whether or not these regulations are be
ing carried out.
The resolution was prefaced by a state
ment that the public prints charged that
many ocean vessels were permitted to sail
from United States ports with inadequate
and imperfect life boat equipments.
Mr. Richardson, dem., of Tennessee,
called attention to a perversion of the
columns of the Congressional Record, by
the Insertion in to-day's issue of twenty
three columns of matter which accom
panied the report made to the House yes
terday by Secretary Olney upon the reso
lution of Inquiry relating to Ambassador
Bayard's speeches at Edinburg and Bos
ton. The speaker, having been informed
that the matter appeared through a mis
take of the government printer, stated
that it would be excluded from the per
manent record.
An effort was made by Messrs. Turner,
dem., of Georgia, and Mcßae, dem., of
Arkansas, to secure the retention of the
papers, but it failed on objection.
Mr. Crisp asked what had become of the
unfinished business, the report of the com
mittee on rules.
Speaker Heed stated that all the pro
posed amendments save one had been
agreed to, and were in force.
Mr. Crisp said that the report as a
whole had not been disposed of, and yet
those officials were enforcing the changes
recommended by the committee. It was
not proper to proceed in that manner, he
said, and he had intended, at the proper
time, to offer a substitute for the whole
code of rules.
Mr. Dalzell, rep., of Pennsylvania, stat
ed that it was the intention of the com
mittee on rules to hold a meeting shortly
and complete their consideration of the
one amendment remaining undisposed of.
The House, he said, was not suffering
from the present condition of affairs and
when the committee made its report the
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Crisp) would
have all opportunity to offer his proposed
substitute.
The House then went into committee of
the whole, with Mr. Payne, rep., of New
York In the chair, to consider the urgent
deficiency bill. A brief general debate
ensued upon the subject of the fee sys
tem In paving officials of the United States
courts, arid the necessity for Its reforma
tion, If not alrolishment, in which Messrs.
Cannon, Sayers, dem., of Texas, Hander
son, rep., of lowa, Northway, rep., of
Ohio, Swanson, dem., of Virginia and
-Daniels, rep., of New York participated.
Mr. Swanson pointed out that in the
last fiscal year nearly 11,000 persons were
brought Into court who ought not to
have been there, Imposing an unneces
sary expense of $2,000,000 upon the gov
ernment.
Mr. Lacey, rep., of lowa discussed the
necessity for a reform of the fee system
in the federal courts, presenting some
striking figures. Some of the evils could
be cured, he said, if the judges of the
courts would dismiss, as they had the
power to do, the offending officials.
Mr. Walker, rep., of Massachusetts ask
ed If the evils complained of could be
cured In the appropriation bill.
Mr. Lacey—They cannot.
Mr. Walker—Can they be cured In any
bill?
Mr. Lacey—They can.
Mr. Walker—Why is not a bill brought
in here then? What committee has charge
of the subject?
Mr. Lacey—The judiciary committee.
Mr. Walker—Well, where are they? Are
they alive or dead? (Laughter.)
Mr. Lacey—l hope to have it demonstrat
ed before the close of this congress that
they are very much alive.
The consideration of the bill having been
concluded, several unimportant amend
ments. and one appropriating $3,000 for the
survey of the Chippewa Indian lands, be
ing added, the committee rose and the
bill, as amended, was passed.
At 4:15 o’clock the House adjourned un
til to-morrow.
A TRAGEDY AT A DANCE.
Coffee County the Scene of Another
Homicide.
Douglas, Ga., Jan. 21.—At a gathering
of young people for a frolic at Daniel
Bennett’s, about four miles from the scene
of the recent McDonald killing, in the
southern portion of Coffee county, on
last Saturday night, John Ricketson, son
of Leonard Ricketson. was fatally shot,
dying on Sunday, and was buried yes
terday.
The Morning News correspondent was
near the scene on Sunday night, but was
unable to get definite particulars. Billy
Griffis, who was a participant at the frolic,
says It was a free-f'T-all fight. He stated
that all were under the Influence of
whisky, and a row started, in which he
had a hand, with Hank Bennett. This
drew in friends of both. While engaged
in fighting he heard the shots and says
that Bennett was accused of doing the
shooting, but he iGritfls) can clear him,
as at the time each had all they could
manage with the other. The coroner’s
report has not yet arrived. The deceased
was a fine specimen of young manhood,
and belonged to one of the oldest fami
lies of Coffee county.
Evangelists Williams and Strozier ore

LIBERTY' TROOP.
The Command Had n Big Celebration
Yesterday,
Mclntosh, Ga., Jan. 21.—The Liberty In
dependent Troop to-day celebrated the
anniversary of Lee’s birthday. It was the
largest attendance the troop has had since
the war. There were fifty men out. The
Troop received eighteen new members,
making a total of seventy enlisted men.
After considerable discussion It was de
cided not to move the parade ground to
Walthorville. The parade ground is now
In the most central local ion. The Troop
was drilled, mounted by Capt. Waite. At
2 o’clock, a basket dinner was spread, af
ter which a very spirited contest was en
gaged in by the tllters for prizes. The tilt
ing was the best seen for some time, the
average being very high. Lieut. A. Yor
don Cassels, as usual, carried off the first
prize. He made three sweeps, being cut
only a half point on exercise, giving him
69V4 out of a possible 60. Sergt. W. A.
Fleming, Jr., carried off the second prize
on a score of &4 points, while Sergt. R. F.
Cassels came a close third on a score of
52. The next parade will be on Feb. 21,
when the annual tilt will take place for
the medal.
