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 ferer from pain in the back and hips,” writes London Grover, of Sardis, Ky.

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: Athens, Ga., Jan. 12th, 1898. Capt. J. E.

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.

WITHIN TEN DAYS The Check Factory and the New Machinery of Oeorgla Factory Will be Operated by Electric Power—The Ma chinery In Readiness. 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 sale by Palmer & Kinnebrew. From Tuesday’s Banner. 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.
