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.

Senator Blllnuton Didn't Want to. Hear the Speech Much, BU r IT GOBS ALL THE SAME. 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.

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.

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.” THE ATHENS HARDWARE QO| SVC.QESS.ORSJOflCHItDS t .
