“JUST BORN TO HAZE,’’

WASHINGTON. Nov. 30—Some cadets
in every class at West Point Military
academy just have it born in them to
base and that is all there is to it. Buch
la practically the conclusion Col. H. L.
Scott, superintendent of the academy, has
reached after years of experience there
The basing of last June was the only
serious. infraction of the rules of disci
pline at the academy during the year,
according to Colonel Scott in a report
to the war department today, and yet
that came after years of attempt to sup
press it.
"Every possible step has been taken
at the academy to eradicate having." sa<J
Colonel Scott, ’llOl it appears that there
are a few in almost every class who de
liberately violate the act of congress for
bidding basing, and whose ideas of re

and warning that can be brought to beat
upon them."

The man or woman who can sleep well

But let insomnia get hold of you, and

FLEMING OUBIGNON
HAS PASSED m
Death Claims Distinguished Geor
gian Who Has Long Been Suf
fering—End Came Shortly
After Noon.
Hon. Fleming dußfgnon. one of the
most distinguished lawyers of the state
and formerly prominent in Georgia poli
tics, died shortly after 3 o’clock Friday
afternoon at his home, 33 Peachtree
place.
For some time past Mr. dußignon's
health has been declining. Sunday his
g i
BOV. FX.EMXMG DUMXGMOM.
condition grew critical, and for two days
past hla death has been hourly expected,
lie passed away about 3:10 o'clock, sur
rounded by his family.
SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
Fleming Grantland dußignon was born
on July 25, 1862, at the old family home
stead. Woodville plantation, near Mil
ledgeville, In Baldwin county, Ga.
His father was Charles dußignon. He
was born on Jekyl Island, Glynn county,
Ga., January 4, 18U8- Charles dußlgnon'a
father came to Jekyl Island and settled
it in the early years of the last century.
He was a Royalist in France and found
the French revolution and the Napoleonic
era uncongenial. Charles dußignon serv
ed bls country in one of the Indians wars
and in the civil war he was an unreserv
edly loyal Confederate. He served as
captain in the Governor’s Horse Guard,
of Milledgeville, in Cobb’s legion of cav
alry.
Mr. Fleming dußignon’s mother still
lives at the old family homestead. She
is a daughter of Hon. Seaton Grantland,
who served for several years as a repre
sentative of Georgia in the United States
congress, and her paternal grandfather
was a patriot in the Continental line
during the Revolution.
Mr. Fleming dußignon secured his pre
liminary education at the Virginia Mil
itary institute, after which he took a law
course at the University ofc Virginia and
was admitted to the bar of Georgia in
1873.
He engaged in the practice of his pro
fession in Milledgeville, where bls success
was marked, and he soon rose to promi
nence along professional and public lines.
He served two years on the bench as
judge of the county court of Baldwin
county, ffn 1880-81 he represented that
county In the Georgia house of represent-1
atives. In 1882-3 he was a member of the
state senate, representing the 30th dis
trict.
He was a candidate for the {presidency
of the senate and was defeated by one
vote. If he had been chosen to that office
,he would have succeeded Alexander H.
Stephens as governor of Georgia by oper
ation of law.
In 1883 he removed to the city of Savan
nah and the following year was elected
solicitor general of the eastern circuit.
Before the expiration of his term ho
was again elected to the senate in order
to break a deadlock in the senatorial con
vention. This election was not of his
seeking and he had no notice thereof
until after the nomination.
He was elected president of the senate,
filling that office during the years 1888-
1889
In 1896 he was a candidate for the Uni
ted States senate. He ran on the gold
platform. He was defeated by the late
Charles F. Crisp.
In 1897 he was elected chairman of the
Democratic executive committee of the
state and remained as such for three
years, when he resigned.
In 1881 and again in 1892 he was a dele
gate from the state at large to the Dem
ocratic national' convention, being chair
man of the Georgia delegation in 1892 and
a xealous supporter of Grover Cleveland
in the convention hall.
In 1889 he could probably have had the
nomination by the Democratic party for
the office of governor. He declined to
consider this, however, in order to devote
more time to the practice of bis profes
sion.
He was a member of the firm of Chis
holm, Erwin & dußignon, and then of
Erwin, dußignon, Chisholm & Clay.
These firms did a large practice in Sa
vannah. They were general counsel for
the Plant System of railways and of the
Southern Express company, and did a
large general practice besides. He was
subsequently a member of the firm of
dußignon & Stephens.
A GREAT JURY LAWYER.
Mr. dußignon’s greatest power as a law
yer was as a jury, advocate. His great
speeches In noted crimihal causes are
yet remembered and have become a part
of the traditions of the Georgia bar.
He moved to Atlanta in 1902, where he
has since resided.
Mr. dußignon was chairman of the
board of trustees of the Georgia Normal
school at Milledgeville, and was ex-officio
a trustee of the University of Georgia.
For a long time before the Georgia Nor
mal school was created he was on the
board of trustees of the university. He
took great pride in the Georgia Normal
and was deeply interested in its great
work.
Although not a graduate of the Univer
sity of Georgia, it had no more cordial
and hearty supporter. He never lost an
opportunity to aid it and to speak its
praise.
November 26, 1874, he was married tn
Miss Caro Lamar, of Savannah, who sur
vives him. The children of this union
are Mrs. Robert C. Alston, of Atlanta;
Miss Anne Grantland dußignon, of At
lanta; Mr. Charles dußignon, of Atlan
ta, and Mrs. W. C. A. Henry, of Colum
bus. Ohio.
He had three grandchildren, two of
whom are the children of Mrs. Henry,
and the other the son of Mr. Charles
dußignon, who bears his grandfather's
name.
He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Gen.
G. M. Sorrell. General Correll was the
chief of staff to General Longstreet dur
ing the Confederate war.
He is also survived by one brother, Mr.
C. P. dußfgnon, who resides at the old
homestead in Baldwin county.
As a public man Mr. dußignon had the
[confidence of the people to a remarkable
degree, and deserved it by his frank and
just deportment. For many years he was
a very great factor in all things political
.in Georgia.

DR. ELLIOTT GETS
A LIFE ME TERM
Sentence of LaGrange Murderer
Commuted to Life Imprison
ment Thursday Night—Gov
ernor Finally Acts.
I
Instead of swinging from a gallows
Friday to pay the penalty for the mur
der of George L. Rivers, of LaGrange,
Dr. J. M. Elliott is comfortably quarter
ed in the Fulton county tower, awaiting
the perfection of arrangements to place
him in the state penitentiary, where he
will serve for the balance of his life, im-

less pardoned out. Dr. Elliott's sen
tence was commuted Thursday night by
Governor Brown, and at the suggestion
of the governor the murderer was rushed
to Atlanta from LaGrange, this step be
ing taken as a precaution against any
possible outbreak of violence on the part
of the public. He was literally snatched
from the shadow of death.
Governor Brown did not act finally on
the Elliott case until 8:30 o’clock Thurs
day night. Then he wired Sheriff O. H.
Florence, of Troup county:
“I have commuted sentence of J. M.
Elliott from death by hanging to im
prisonment for life. Bring him by first
train to tower in Atlanta.
"JOSEPH M. BROWN,
• "Governor.”
Elliott expressed deep gratitude for the
governor’s action in Issuing the commu
tation, and declared that he would live
the life of a gentleman in the peniten
tiary.
The commutation of Dr. Elliott came
only after one ,of the hardest legal battles
ever witnessed In this state. Standing in
the shadow of the gallows on three dif
ferent times, the doomed man was thrice
saved by respites from the governor, and
finally commuted. His case was twice
in the state courts, was heard four times
by the state pardon board, thrice by the
governor and once by a lunacy commis
sion.
The crime for which Dr. Elliott was
convicted was committed September 1,
1908, when he shot and killed George L.
Rivers, one of the most inoffensive citi
zens of LaGrange. The killing took place
on the front porch of the Rivers’ board
ing house.
Dr. Elliott, who was alleged to be ad
dicted to the habit of drugs, had shortly
before had a quarrel with his young wife,
striking a negro girl, who was nursing
his child. From his wife’s room, Elliott
went to the front porch of his home.
Directly opposite was the Rivers’ board
ing housf.
FIRED WITHOUT WARNING.
Without warning. Dr. Elliott began to
1 fire at Rivers, inflicting three wounds
' from which Rivers died 24 hours later.
I fclllott was tried at the November term
lof the Troup county superior court. The
I trial was bitterly fought. Elliott was
represented by Attorneys McNeel, of Ma
con, and Mooty, of LaGrange. A long
list of witnesses was examined by the
defense and the prosecution.
A verdict of guilty was returned after
a trial of over a week, and Elliott was
sentenced to be hanged. A motion for a
new trial was denied by Judge R. W.
Freeman and the case was carried to the
state supreme court, which sustained the
decision of the lower court.
The death sentence was postponed from
time to time by petitions for commuta
tion to life Imprisonment and the plea of
emotional insanity, and much purported
evidence was accumulated.
Elliott had moved to LaGrange from
Macon only three weeks before he killed
Rivers.
LAGRANGE, Ga., Nov. 19.—While a
few in LaGrange last night were aware
that Dr. J. M. Elliot was quietly taken
I out of jail and hurried to the train to be
taken to the Atlanta jail under Governor
I Brown’s orders, citizens say there was no
i need of any apprehension of a lynching.
1 Many people in LaGrange and Troup
I county, who are familiar with the case,
1 are heard to criticise the governor’s ac
tion.
EFFIGY OF GOVERNOR
PREPARED IN LAGRANGE
LA GRANGE, Ga., Nov. 20.—As show
ing the temper of some of the people of
this section regarding the commutation
of the death sentence of Dr, J. M.
Elliott, quite a number of young men
last night prepared a dummy, labeled It
"Joe Brown” and were preparing to
string it up, riddle it with bullets and
then burn it. Mayor Edmundson hqard
of the movement, however, and put a
stop to the proceedings.
Sentiment is somewhat divided here re
garding the disposition of this noted
case.
CRAZY MAN CAKEWALKS
WITH HYENA AUDIENCE
PARIS, Nov. 20.—Dancing, it seems,
amuses hyenas. They love to see It, and
become interested spectators. It took a
former inmate of a lunatic asylum to
demonstrate this hitherto unknown sci
entific fact, and his proof has been un
disputed. The keepers of the Jardin des
Plantes, which is the Paris zoo, observ
ed a strange looking man walking around
the cages of the wild beasts early in the
morning, talking and gesticulating wildly.
Suddenly he took off his coat and cllmoed
over the iron bars into the cage where
two hyenas were kept
The wild beasts did not fancy the in
truder at first, but when he had taken
off most of his clothes and started a cake
walk. they became Interested. Their eyes
twinkled and their limpy tails wagged,
as they crouched down and watched his
movements. They would not for the world
interfere with the free entertainment he
offered them.
It was when the keepers captured the
intruder and hauled him, bound with
ropes, out of the cage, that they puffed,
snorted and otherwise protested against
the Interruption of the spectacle. Their
well-intentioned friend has been taken
back to the asylum, whence he had been
released only a month ago.
i BAPTISTS BE WAR
ON NEARJEER SALE
State Convention Will Ask Legis
lature to Stop Near-Beer Sale
and Congress to Prohibit Li
censes in “Dry” States.
By Rev. Alex. W. Bealer
DUBLIN, Ga., Nov. 19.—The Georgia
Baptist convention adjourned at 1 o'clock
this afternoon to meet in Elberton next
year.
Last night foreign rqissions were taken
up by Dr. G. A. Nunnally, Dr. E. C.
Dargan and Dr. R. J. Willingham made
addresses.
Ten young people pledged themselves
t? go to the foreign field if God woula
open the way and the whole congrega
tion pledged itself to do more in this work
than ever before.
BEALER GiVEN PEN.
! M. A.' Jenkins, representing a number
, of brethren, presented Alex W. Bealer a
gold mounted fountain pen as a token
! of esteem for the work he has done for
i the Baptists through the columns of The
! Journal and the Christian Index.
I Greetings from the 22 students in the
i seminary were received and the secre-
I tary was directed to respond for the con
i vention.
! Tributes of love were paid to those who
have died during the year and then a
% special season of private prayer was held
asking God to send more laborers into
the harvest.
President Jameson addressed the con
vention calling attention to some of the
notable accomplishments of the body and
then the parting song was sung and the
closing prayer was made.
The crusade against the sale of
near • beer was inaugurated by
Georgia Baptists at yesterday aft
ernoon’s session of the state conven
tion, when a committee was appointed
to appear before the state legislature and
memorialize that body and request it to
prohibit the sale of near-beer.
The convention decided to call upon
congress through Its Individual members
to pass a law prohibiting the granting
of government licenses to sell liquor in
"dry" states. The application is made
especially pertinent to Georgia.
The convention also adopted a strong
resolution memorializing the Georgia
legislature to pass a bill that shall end
the sale of beer in the state, “near” or
otherwise. Prominent churchmen and
laymen of the convention made speeches
in support of the resolutions.
Superintendent Richards, of the Geor
gia Anti-Saloon league, said that with
proper support for the league an end
could be put to the sale even of confis
cated liquors by the government In dry
territory.
The action followed the report of the
committee on temperance. This report
also condemned the daily papers that,
although they receive support from tem
perance people, they are upholding the
sale of whisky and fighting prohibition.
NEW ORPHANS’ HOME.
The orphans’ home was considered
yesterday afternoon and it was shown
that a new building was needed to hold
those who had been exposed to conta
gious or infectious diseases and that an
other building for young babies was
sorely needed. It is the hope of the
management that some philanthropic
Baptist will supply these needs.
I. Clyde Turner, of Macon, in a report
and a speech presented the Baptist Young
Peoples’ work, .showing that it had now
found a permanent place in the denomi
national life.
The convention decided to hold its next
meeting at Elberton on November 15. 1910.
L. R. Christie, of Columbus, was ap
pointed to preach the convention sermon
with T. P. Bell, of Atlanta, as his al
ternate.
A resolution from Emmett Shaw, of
Fort Gaines, to send the greetings of the
body to Alabama In her great fight for
prohibition was adopted.
The attractions of the Blue Ridge as
sembly were discussed by the brethren
and many proposed to bay lots and spend
next summer there. Reagan Long, of
Leesburg; G. H. Clark, of Moultrie, and
R. T. Jones were added to the trustees of
Mercer university. J. D. Chapman, of
Valdosta, was elected trustee for Bessie
Tift college. C. W. Durden, of Waynes
boro, and M. L. Brittain, of Atlanta, were
elected trustees of Shorter college. O. A.
Thaxton, J. C. Brewton, J. M. Wilker
son, B. D. Ragsdale. J. G. Harrison, L.
W. C. Carlton. A. B. Greene, and W.
M. Coile was elected members of the edu
cation board.
