My Dear Sir,
Yuura received. Reply ing to your in
quiries, l beg to say :
Ut. That 1 am no enemy to the
state University. No liue of any letter
of mine, no sentence of any speech pi
mine warrants auother conclusion. At
the very beginning ol my campaign in
August, 1»S9, 1 stated my position on
the subject.
I was reported in the Augusta Ohrou
ideas being “dowu ou the University.''
1 promptly corrected the report and
the editor of the Chronicle honorably
admitted that injustice had been done
onrsa brick bail Columbia.
Onr leaders We kept at the head of |
oar National' Exectutive committee,
Calvfn Brice who is a millionaire
monopolist, » Wall street speculator j
and a man completely owned and con-
troled by the glasses who have the con
centrated wealth.
They voted away 872,000.000 of the
people’s taxes to the bond holders when
the money coaid have been refunded to
the state And relieved us from taxation
or supplemented our school funds.
In other words it is perfectly plain
that when a railroad king is kept at the
Jhfiad .Of onr .highest committee; a na
tional banker at the head of the next |
highest; and such men as Cleveland
repudiate free silver, our leaders have
wandered for away from Democracy.
They keep the name but havo well
nigh lost the principle.
These were the evils struck at in my
Atlanta speech. Not a word of it do 1
retract.
“a druocrat am i.”
1 claim to ho as good a democrat as
lives, so good a democrat that 1 am
strictly for Die principles which Jeffer
son loved. I abhor the Hamiltoniau
doctrines which have orept into our
party.
The Atlanta Constitution,with its usu
al want of manliness aud fairness,put
a construction on the speech w hich you
would never have sanctioned had you
drat read the speech.
The Constitution is angered at me for
other things, and not dariug to, attack
ine directly about these “other things”
jumped on this speech.
There is not a word of third party
in it. 1 distinctly said our positiou
must be one of self defence,
that we must stand by our
platform because it was true Jefferso
nian Democracy and that if a split came
the responsibility woulfi rest upon men
of the Oates variety who said we must
surrender our convictions or go out of
the par^y.

Atlanta Ga., Auo 11, [Special.]
Mr. Williams, of Richmond,chairman
of the committee on criminal law revis
ion sent in bis report to-day.
The report was a full and carefully
prepared one, stating the «xact status
of the criminal laws of the state, and
what action was necessary to be taken
in regard to their revision aud codifica
tion.
The reports states that the laws as
they stand-now are in a bad way.
They are t>o scattered and the nature
of many of them is such as to need re
vision in order to save the state from
unnecessary expense.
Mr. Williams followed this
up with a resolution t»
empower the governor to appoint thre.
competent attorneys to revise and codi
fy these crimu&l laws. The resolution
went to the general judiciary commit
tee.
This is one of the most important
matters which has yet come up before
the House, aud the measure in regard
to the revision of these laws demands
the careful consideration of eaoh mem
ber of the General Assembly, and the
people of the State.
Mr. Williams said to-day:
The State of Georgia is now 58 years
behind in revising her criminal laws.
It is one of the most necessary and im
portant measures before the people to
day. It involves money which might
be saved on the part of the state. Hu n-
dreds of dollars are now expend' d in
trials of small misdemeanor cases, and
persons convicted of the simplest of
fenses are coufineuior years in the pen
itentiary which is not right. It is but
just to the State and to the p< ople that a
change should be made.”
The importance of the measure is
realized by all who have yet spoken of
it, and it is probable that the action of
the House will be on the right liue.

Ohio Officers Have a Lively Skirmish
With Midnight Poachers.
Dayton, O., Aug. 11.—State Deputy
Game Warden L. K. Bantaia of thin
city fatally shot David Mclivain, whom
he caught with four others aeiuiUg in
Mad river near Harshmanville at mid
night. Buntain had heard- that a party
had gone up the river to seiue, contrary
to the state law, and at the request of
Ben F. Seitner, member of this County
Fish and Game Protective Society, ac
companied him to the spot, both being
disguised. Four miles up the river they
came upon the party in the act of draw
ing the seine, and Buntain stepped into
view and said:
"Hello, boys, we got here just in time
to see you make a liauL *
Instantly one of the fislie. m -n struck
Buntain a heavy blow in the left eye
with a stone. David Mcllvon, who was
in the river with the seine, drew his re
volver and began shooting at Buntain
and Seitner. Another of the fishermen
also polled his revolver. Then Buntain
fired twice at Mcllvuin, hitting him in
the arm and sending a second bullet
through his body just below the heart,
the ball running from the left side to
the right. One of the fishermen struck
Seitner over the head with a lantern.
This burst the lantern, which set fire to
the grass, lighting up the scene. This
I jave the officers command of the situa
tion. Buntain compelled the four men
to bring the wounded man to tli^ bank,
then arranged them in line in tne light
of the fire uutil he identified them all:
John Hetzell, David A. Walt, Janies
Perry, William Richardson and the
wounded man Mclivain. Buntain took
the seine and other property and the
party brought Mclivain to town. Bun
tain immediately called at the police-
office and gave himself up, but as he
was a state officer and diu the shooting
self-defence, as admitted by the
wounded man, no arrest was made,
nor havo the fishermen, been arrested.
Cyrus Osborn, ex-president of the
State Fish Commission, called at the
police office to say that the County Fish
and Game Protective Association will
stand by Buntain.
CAMPAIGN CASH WANTED
By Mr. McKinley to Uelp to Do the Work
In the Ohio Unce.
Washington, Aug. 11.—Secretary-
Foster will have a hard time trying to
bring order out of the Republican chaos
in Ohio. He will be kept very busy this
week at Fostoria and elsewhere in the
state. The real trouble in the Bnckeye
Republican family is the senatorship,
for which four or five ambitious states
men yearn, and a lack of funds to carry
on the campaign.
Secretary Foster, rich and generous as
he is, can not supply the demands that
McKinley has made for cash. Week
before lost a most appealing letter was
received from the xuujor begging for
money. Certain sums had been prom
ised, but the men interested had failed
to respond. The Pittsburgh glass-blow
ers, who were pledged for $20,000, sent
a paltry $1,800, and the oth r protected
industries failed to respond at all. Mr.
uuay had been appealed to, but replied
that he was not going to he in the fight
this year at alL i i
There was also another thing that
worried Mr. McKinley, and that was
the way in which Foraker was running
things in his own interest. An appeal
was made to have Mr. Foraker sent for,
or else Mr. Boshnell, who is regarded
as being about the only man who could
influence Foraker, summoned to Cape
May and disciplined, but this, it is said,
Mv. Harrison declined to do.

“This tobacco talk and all this legisla
tion about cigarettes and the like now
before the legislature is peculiarly in
teresting at this time.”
The speaker was Dr. L. G. Hardman,
the well known aud popular physician,
of Harmony Grove. If there is any
body in Georgia who knows more about
the affects of the WBed upon the human
constitution than Dr. Hardman bis
name is not known.
Why is it that the complaint is so
often made,doctor,that tobacco is drugg
ed with poisonous drugs?” he was
asked.
It is because they wish to justify
their own had habit by proving it is
some poison and not the tobacco which
is doing the great injury to their sys
tem and thereby relieve their own con
science of the wrong. "
“Another reason is because some
people have made np their minds to use
t, and they do not believe it is poison
unless the poison has been added to the
tobacco or introduced into it from with
out and that the. material itself is not
poison.”
“It is unnecessary for me to state
that tobacco ' contains one of
the most powerful poisonous
agents known to man and that ont-
chew swallowed (and not vomited) of
the average chewer would produce
death in a very short time.
“The average chewjis forty (trains. I
have, however, weigiied the chews of a
great many who would take eighty
grains at one time. Now tobacco con
tains from 2 to 8 per cent, nicotine, de
pending on the locality where raised.
The most of the tobacco used is the
dark and very inferior quality, and 1 do
not think that it would be too high an
estimate to say the most of it contains
5 per ceut. of nicotine. So you can see
that almost every chew if taken and
swallowed would produce death if not
vomited-
1 have had two deaths from tobacco,
one died in about thirty minutes and
the other was a chronic case whioh liv
ed several years quitting sometimes
and gettiug better and
taking up the habit
again until it finally produced death.
Some one would say if it is so poison
ous as you say, why does it not kill
more?
1st, It does kill a great many perhaps,
which iB supposed to be heart disease
because they die so quick.
2nd. The nicotine is taken in the sys
tem so slowly that it is excreted by the
kidneys and skin. So-we have tut little
in the system at the same time.
3rd, The system becomes accustomed
to the effect as it does to opium; but
perhaps in a less degree.
Now, because it can be taken ins
large quantity would not justify any
one in saying that morpbine was no
poisonous, and could be given in any
size do«es.
“I havo produced death in a dog in
in one minute from tne infusion of
thirty graiiiB of tobacco which is not
the average chew. It’s effect is striking,
it first produces very rapid respirations
and then convulsions with cessation of
the heart and finally a reestablishing
of the action of the upper heart or the
upper part of the heart which may con
tinue to pulsate for hours.
The second question, why they more
often look to cigarettes for these pois
ons is because I believe the tobacco iu
the cigarettes is an inferior quality and
therefore contains more mcotiue, and is
as a result more injurious. Further than
that, they wish to prevent the youth
of our country from contracting this
very injurious and unpleasant habit.
And still farther, because the older
men who chew and smoke want to jus
tify their use of tobacco and cigars and at
thesame time condemn the cigarettes.
The truth is they are all poisonous and
should not be used except as a medicine
as morphine, strictnine and arsenic.
Without.going into details of experi
ment I will state some of the conclu
sions I arrived at by experiment with
nicotine on the dog.
1 have injected as much as eight
drops into the veinB of the hind leg of
the dog, where I bad previously inject
ed morphine without producing death.
Where as in the other case above men
tioned, was about two drops of nicotine
injected which produced death in one
minute. In this case no morpbine was
used. Therefore the conclusion Is that
one counter acts the effects of the oth
er or in other words are physical anta
gonists.
If this be true the addition of mor
phine or any opiate to cigarettes would
counteract the affect of nicotine and
thereby rid the cigaretee as well as
other tobacco of its pleasant as well as
its poisonous effect to that extent
1 could mention meny of the different
effects of these two agents upon the
dog, but will content myself by giving
the effect of each upon the reparation,
one of which. Namely: Morphine is
familiar to all pbysiciaus and a great
many laymen that it sowers the respor
ation especially when given in large
doses. While the other agents, nico
tine macresses the respriatiou in the
dog very markedly. Without going in
to further details and from my experi
ments upon the dog, I believe that Ni,
cotine is one of the antidotes to Opium-
and will be in the near future consider
ed equal to Atropine if not superior.”
