H. L. SCOTT 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 rponslbility to the government are ele mentary, notwithstanding all the teaching and warning that can be brought to beat upon them."

An American gas company has the franchise for lighting the city, but the city charges it for using the streets to convey its pipes DURING SLEEP Nature Repairs the Human En gine The activities of the day cause mors or less waste of tissues in the human engine, which is repaired at night during sleep The man or woman who can sleep well at night, is sure of the necessary repairs, other things being right, to make each day a time of usefulness and living a real joy. But let insomnia get hold of you, and the struggle begins, of trying to work with a machine out of repair. A Nebr. woman's experience with coffee as a pro ducer of insomnia is interesting. She says: "I used to be a coffee drinker and was B 3 nervous I could not sleep at night be fore about 13 o’clock, unless I would take some medicine. I was under the doctor’s care for about five years and my weight got down to 83 lbs. ‘The doctor said I would have to quit drinking coffee. Then my father got me to try Postum which he said had done wonders for him. I am past 43 and be fore I quit drinking coffee, my heart would jump and flutter at times, miss a beat, then beat so fast I could hardly breath in enough air and I would get smothered. "My tongue would get so stiff I could not talk and I could not hold a glass to drink from. Since I have been drinking Pt stum, tn place of coffee. I can sleep sound any time I lie down, and I feel I owe everything to Postum. I now weigh 139 lbs. and am well." * Read ’The Road to Wellville.” in pkgs. ’There’s a Reason."

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.

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- ' f - # ’k ■ A ■< I JR * • ■S&tB ■■■-.. j DB. J. M. ELLIOTT. 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.

At the close of the first half, when the score stood 34 to 0 In favor of the universi ty. A coffin draped in the colors of the hospital college brought on the field before the’ game started, precipitated the riot, which for a time assumed serious propor tions. A band of the hospital students seized the coffin, tearing off the lid at the end of the first half and were promptly at tacked by the university students. In a moment both factions had been re enforced and the fighting mass was charged by the police with drawn night sticks. Both elevens refrained from joining in the melee.
