This day hag been for years recog nized as one in which it is proper to »bow our remembrance and apprecia tion for the men who sacrificed their all for the South The 26th of April has for years been recognized as Mem orial Day and in former years we recollect the ceremonies with fond remembrances. In the ceremonies the feats of prowess and deeds of valor were recounted and it was a day of pride with the southern soldier and their sympathizers. But in this day, it would more prop erly be a day of sorrow and reconcilia, lion. In the late contest with Spain, it was clearly shown that there was no North or South, but one n-uuited America—and it behooves us now to bear tributes to the memories of our soldiers dead, with no apologise for the past but praise for their valor, and a “Thank God” for the united country.

Collins Has Part of His Head Shot Away < Dr. TJ. Collins, u prominent phy sician living at McKibben, was seri ously if not fatally wounded yesterday morning about 6 o'clock. The particulars of the affair are very meagre and conflicting. The only thing about which all reports agree is that Dr Collins received the contents of a shot gun in the side of his face, which tore away the lower jaw bone, a portion of the chin and his right ear. One report says that Dr. Collins was reaching for his gun, which was stand ing in the corner of his room, when the hammer struck a bureau and the gun was discharged. This theory is hardly practicable, as the shot was fired from the rear. The charge first tore oft’the ear and then entered the cheek, shattering the chin in a horrible manner. Another report says the doctor was accidently shot by bis young eon, who was trying to extract a shell from bis gun, and this is probably how the ac cident occurred. The first heard of the affair was when a telephone message was receiv ed this morning asking Dr. T. E. Drewry to go to McKibben and con sult with the physicians who have been at the bedside of the wounded man since shortly after the accident. The attending physicians consider the wound a fatal one, and entertain but little hope of saving the mans life. Dr. Collins is over 40 years of age, is married and has several children, two o f whom are married.

The New York Time, the strongest Democratic newspaper in New York has this to say of Col. Bryan’s recep tion in the metropolis the other night: “Mr. Bryan, we doubt not, thinks be has bad a magnificent, reception in the enemie’s country. The three thousand guests and spectators at the dollar din ner went wild over him, fought like cats and dogs with each other to grasp his band, and raised the roof with their cheers. He will go back to Ne braska and wait for news of the great ground swell for Bryan in New York. “Ho will wait in vain. The Dem onstration at the Grand Central Pal ace is i.s empty of meaningas it was noisy in performance. The men who howled for him on Saturday night have no influence or following in this city or State. They are largely the political chaff of the community, blown about by all winds, planting sterile ideas in barren soil. It was an occasion of much enthusiasm but no votes. “Bryans sticks to bis 16 to 1 doctrine, which Judge Gaynor says cost the Democratic party a million and a half votes in 1896. He refuses to abandon that fatal issue, even to attack the trusts, although hie associates are work ing hard to make an octopus hunter of him. Probably he is wife in that. . The greed of the monopolists is a pret ty good subject to talk about these I hard times, but there is‘nothing in it’ for Bryan’s original promoters and employers, the silver mine owners; and the subject has no interest for the , class from which Bryan gained sc many following 1896. “Unless some Democrat comes along with a plan of campaign more attractive to the voters of New York than those of Bryan and Tarvin ths thirty-six electoral votes of the State ■ will be cast next year for a candidate who, while be may represent Algerians bad beef, high tariff, and other things altogether distasteful to the people will nevertheless be preferred by then: j b“cause he stands for sound money.

WAS A BIGAMIST 1 And That Was But One of His Many Crimes. • S ime of the papers in the state era “ trying to make their read rs believe >’ Lige Strick and, the negro who was lynched near Palmetto Sunday night f Was a quiet, industrious, old negro r who worked during the week, and : B made bread by the sweat of his brow, | ■ while on Sunday he would don his i ministerial robes and endeavor to lead 1 his race along the “straight and nar row pathway.” s Some correspondents were almost pathetic in describing the death of this 1 venerable colored preacher, and spoke ’ of him ns a martyr. ’ Such 'is to be expected from the ’ northern press, but before the press of ' Georgia sheds any tears over negroes, ’ who have suffered at the hands of an 1 outraged community they should learn something of the chiracter of 1 parties lynched. 1 Mr. J. M. Quigby, one of the most 1 prominent planters of Meriwether county, was in the city today and tells a very different story a- to the piety and industry of “Rev” Lige Strick land. Mr, Quigby said that he had known Strickland during slavery, and Major Thomas was the first person, white or black, who had ever found I any good in him. The negro belonged > to Mr. Quigby’s father-in-law, and before his emancipation he was strung up two or three times for poisoning a valuable horse belonging to bis mas ter. i Strickland moved into Mr. Quigby’s 1 neigborhood about four years ago, and ' his conduct became so repulsive to white people, and decent negroes, that he was run out of the settlement after living there about six mouths. He was known to have had more 1 than one wife, and Mr. Quigby, who is a justice of the peace, was about to . cause the arrest of Strickland when he | left for parts unknown. I he next be heard of the negro was when he was informed yesterday that I he bad been lynched, knowing the negro as be did, he was surprised to learn that any one could express a re gret that the state had been ridden of such a character. He says that Strickland used his ministerial garb as a cloak to shield him in his checkered career, which i since childhood has been but a series of crimes. 1 Those who heard the dying state ment of Sam Hose—made just before | ’ the greedy flamed licked up his life blood—belive that Lige Strickland I was the instigator of the horrible, double crime near Palmetto and de-I served a legal banging if not such a death as he met Sunday night. t No Eight to Ugliness. e The woman who is lovely in face> B form and temper will .always have friends, but one who would be altract- 1 ive must keep her health.

Boston, Ma.-- , April 21 —Concern ing tlie dispatches from Washington to the effect that the administration had discovered that the anti-expan sionists in this country bad been sending messages to the Philippines stirring them up to discontent, Erving Winslow, secretary of the anli-Impe-! rialistic League, said that the charge I was ridiculous concerning the impli- ■ cation of treason in such an act. Mr. Winslow said that there was no such thing as treason except an overt act against the government. Construc tive treason was not recognized by the constitution of the United States. He declared that it was of course impossi ble to tell whatsome individuals might have attempted to do, whose indigna tion had been excited by the president's action. He continued : “If there is to be any punishment inflicted it should be byway of im peachment of the president, who em ployed the army and navy of the nation in a war against the people of the Philippines with the avowed pur pose of destroying their army and of reducing the people to admit the sov ereignty of our government, while it is not pretended that this war was declared by c tigress, in which body alone, under our constitution, the right to declare war exists ” Mr. Winslow intimated that it would be difficult for anybody to elude the j press censorship and get dispatches to ; the Philippines. The complaint all! along had been that the press censor-j ship was so rigid that nobody knew j i what was going on in the Philippines. ; J This was one of the chief things criti-1 I cised in the anti-imperialist meeting I in Tremont Temple _ _____________.
