most distressing cases. If you need a

The Supreme Court Took Up the Case Yester
day Morning.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 17.—The supreme
court of Georgia began the hearing of
the most important and interesting case
ever heard in a Georgia conrt. The
Flanagan case came np before that body
this morning and will be under consid
eration by the judges during the next
month.
This is the first case, with one except
ion, ever heard before the supreme conrt
which involved a complete review of the
entire legal history of the state on one
particular subject. In the Flanagan case
ever decision that has ever been ren
dered upon the question of insanity will
be reviewed.
The hearing will be of great impor
tance, because it not only involves a
man’s life, but it means the establish
ment of a precedent that is of vast and
vital interest in these days of frequently
feigned insanity. The supreme conrt
will decide more than a question of law.
The five judges will rale whether a man
can be really insane and irresponsible for
criminal acts and at the same time be le
gally and technically sane. This ques
tion will be the principal part of the
hearing. The attorneys will make their
fight on this idea. . Flanagan’s attorneys
will claim that he was insane at the
time he committed his crime; that he is
still insane; that he may have reason
and apparent sanity, bnt that he is suf
fering with a real and medical insanity
if not a legal insanity.
Jndge Hal Lewis did not sit upon the
case, as he is disqualified, because he
was Flanagan’s prosecutor when the
murderer was convicted, and before
Judge Lewis was appointed to the su
preme bench. The attorneys tin both
sides had requested that a fall bench tit
upon the case, bat only five judges can
hear the case on account of Jndge Lew
is’ disqualification.
“My daughter, when recovering from
an attack of fever, was was a great suf

writes London Grover, of Sardis, Ky.
"After using quite a number of remedies
without any benefit she tried one bottle
of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and it has
given entire relief.” Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm is also a certain cure
for rheumatism. Sold by Palmer &

The meeting of Cobb-Deloney Camp,
United Confederate Veterans, will be
held tomorrow morning at nine o’clock
at city headquarters.
It is desired that every Confederate
veteran, who can do so, be present at
this meeting as a number of important
matters are to be passed on.
Capt Jerry E. Ritch, commander of
the Camp, has written his resignation,
which will he presented to the Camp at
its meeting tomorrow.
Capt. Ritch is very much devoted to
his office, bnt on account of the condi
tion of his health, deems it best that
some other veteran should be at the head
of the organization.
Capt. Ritch is nearly seventy-two
yearn of age, and on account of the in
juries he received last summer by being
thrown from his buggy on Barber street,
can scarcely hobble around on bis
cratches.
Under these circumstances, and in
view of the fact that Capt. Ritch niges
that his resignation be accepted, it may
be the camp will accept it.
If the resignation is accepted, then a
new commander will have to be chosen
by the camp, and hence the importance
of a fall attendance of the members.
A number of plans relative to the as
sistance to be rendered by the camp to
those arranging for the big re-nnion in
Atlanta will also he discussed.
The sons of veterans will also be pres
ent and discuss plans looking to the per
fection of an organization in this city.
The camp has been invited to attend,
the Shropshire medal contest at the Uni
versity chapel, the following invitation
having been forwarded them:

After a Severe Illness He Passed Away Sunday
Night.
From Tuesday’s Banner.
Sunday night at eight o’clock at his
home on Reese street, in this city, Mr.
W. J. Boswell, passed to his reward.
Mr. Boswell had been iUfor several
months, and the most skillful attention
of the physicians could not avail to save
his life.
Mr. Boswell came to Athens a short
while since from Green county to school
his children here.
A few months ago he mashed his
finger and from the comparatively in
significant injury blood poison sat in,
and an accumulation of pus was found
inside the chest wall. This was relieved
temporarily by an operation, bnt from
the effects of this trouble he died Sun
day night.
Mr. Boswell left a wife and several
children to mourn his death. He was
an upright and highly-esteemed citizen
and his many warm friends tincerely
mourn his death.
The remains of Mr. Beswell were car
ried to Green county yesterday for
interment.

Latest and Most Sensational Feature in Dakota
Jurisprudence.
Chicago, Jan. 17.—A special to The
Chronicle from Klum, S. D., says:
Marriage by injunction is the latest
feature in South Kakota jurisprudence.
Mr. and Mrs. Michael Pruisner, well-to-
do Russians, near here, recently arrang
ed to marry their daughter, Lena, to
Nicholas Bataglea, a neighboring
farmer. Bnt Miss Pruisner loved
another—Alexander Hellin.
From a faithless friend of Hellin’s the
Pruisners learned that the former In
tended to elope with their daughter on
the eve of the wedding day. The aid of
a neighboring justice of the peace was
invoked, an injunction secured against
the elopement, a copy of the writ served
on Hellin, and an officer stationed on
the Pruisner premises to arrest him
shonld he presume to set the law at
defiance. As was anticipated, he came
despite the injunction and was duly
taken into custody and locked up.
Before he secured a bondsman Lena
was was wedded to the man she did not
love.
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
SOLD GOSPEL WARES
And the Texas Drummer Was Neatly Turned
Under.
A certain preacher in Athens once la
bored in a Texas mission field, and one
day was riding on a train to his work in
a city near by.
Hemetnp with a hardware drum
mer, who persisted in telling all kinds
of marvelous sights he had seen and in
cidents in which he had figured.
The drummer did not catch on to the
fact that he was talking to a minister,
and he had no regard for the truth in
half the stories related.
The train drew np to a little station
and the drummer handing the preacher
his card asked him what business he
was engaged in.
“I deal in Gospel wares,” replied the
preacher, handing the drummer his
card.
The drummer didn’t say a word. He
grabbed bis valise and hopped off the
train at the' little station, where no
hardware stores existed.
The progressive ladies of Westfield,
Ind., issued a “Woman’s Edition” of
the Westfield News, bearing date of
April 3. 1896. The paper, is filled with
matter of interest to women, and we
notice the following from a correspon
dent, which the editors printed, realiz
ing that it treats upon a matter of vital
importance to their sex : "The best
remedy for croup, colds and bronchitis
that I have been able to find is Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy. For family
use it has no equal. I gladly recom
mend it.” 26 and 60 cent bottles for

Two cotton mills in Clarke county
will be driven by electric power within
the next ten days.
The electrical machinery at Georgia
Factory is about ready for the current
to be turned on, and Capt. White will
within the next few days start the 8,-
328 new spindles at that mill.
The electrical equipment at the Check
Factory in this city has about been in
stalled by the Athens Electric Railway
Company, and will be ready to be put
in operation inside the next ten days.
There will not be many days between
the starting of the electrical machinery
of these two mills.
It is claimed by many experts that
electric power, generated by waterpower,
is much more satisfactory than the use
of the water power itself, and it is cer
tain that it is much cheaper.
If the use of electricity by these two
mills, as a motive power, with which to
drive the 3pindles and looms, proves to
be a success and an economy, then other
mills in this section will be quick to
substitute it for water or steam power.
