neio TROOPS MUTINY
They Refute to Drill Under White
Officer*
Knoxvillx, Tmni, Nov. 2 -On m
eonniof the *ppoio<me«»» <* wbi “
toned officers to fill the place*
csaM d by the resignation of nine ne
gro officers, the Sixth Virginia regi
ment refused to drill or do other
doty thio joining.
Poor of the new white captains ar
rived yesterday and reported tb take
charge of the companies thio morning.
The enlisted mon bold a mass meeting
and refused to obey order* unless ne
gro officers were pat Over them.
Three white regiments were ordered
i out and ammunition issued.
x Major General Bates, who was pres
ent, helped quel! the mutiny. The
negroes were finally pacified and the
white officers will take command.
Trying to Shield Him.
And now some newspapers are try
ing to explain why Jake Beach re
signed his position as prison commis
sioner just a few hours before Gover
nor Atkiusou went out of office. They
evidently realized that this last set of
the Atkinson administration has thor
oughly disgusted the whole state, and
that it is necessary for the few friends
left to Governor Atkinson to ssy some
thing in bis behalf.
But the explanation does not ex
plain, In the first place, it places Mr.
Beach in an absurd light to say that
he resigned because be could not have
hie way about the selection of the
penitentiary site. But even if such
an explanation could be accepted, it
would still not excuse the bad taste
displayed by Governor Atkinson in
filling the vacancy thus created, in
view of the fact that be, himself, was
to retire from office within a Tew hours,
While the new prison commissioner
would serve through and. beyond tbe
Incoming administration.
No, bad Governor Atkinson been
more a statesman and less a politician
be would have loft the place lor his
aucceosor to fill. In fact, bad lie ob
served the ordinary rules of official
courtesy, be would have refused to act
on such an important matter on tbe
eve of retiring from office. We don’t
believe there is another man in Geor
gi* that would have acted in such bad
toate.
What is tbe use of trying to defend
Atkinson in this matter! He ha* de
ceived no one. The whole thing was
clearly understood tbe moment it was
announced, and it is the unanimous
verdict that Atkinson "fixed it" in or
der that be might fix up his fences in
Wiregrass Georgia. It is by far tbe
most disgraceful thing that has occurr*
ad in Georgia since reconstruction
days, and it has called forth righteous
indignation throughout the state.—

•SOMTARY GLXBBNER HAY GO-
Pruon Commissioners Wait a More
Active Man in the Position.
The Savannah Morning News pub
lishes tbe following bit of political
gossip from its Atlanta correspondent:
A report was earrent at the capitol
today that another shake-up on the
prison commission might be looked for
at any moment. This aims, it was
said, it would be Secretary Douglas
Glessber, who would leave tbe board.
Secretary Glauner was put on the
board through Gov. Atkinson. The
board has the election, but tbe govern
or controlled the appointment, it is
said. According to the report, Secre
tary Glessnar has never given satisfac
tion to tbe board, and it has been aim
ply a question of bow to relieve tbe
situation without an unpleasant.expo
sition. The board, or at least an influ
ential part of Wants a more active
man than Mr. Glauner, whose time
is partly occupied in running bis pa
per, tbe Griffin News, and this is tbe
alleged cause of the dissatisfaction.
None of the members of tbe com
mission will discuss the matter, but it
is believed that the friction over the
secretary has caused a considerable
coolness, which is not calculated to
advance tbe work of the department.
A gentleman, who knows a good
deal about the situation, said today
that Secretary Glessner’s retirement
from tbe board might be expected at
any time, aodr*Whon it comes it may I
be with an even more spectacular
show than when Mr. Beach quit.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
smell and completely derange the whole
system when entering it through the mu
cous surfaces. Buch articles should never
be used except on prescriptions from rep
utable physicians, as the damage they will
do is ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., To
ledo, 0., contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. In
buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure you
get the genuine. It is taken internally,
and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Chen
ey & Co. Testimonials free.
Bold by Druggists, price 75c per bottle.
Hall’s Family Pills are the best.
T. B. Rice, a prominent druggist of
Greensboro, Ga., writes as follows:
“I have handled Dr. Pitts’ Carminative
for eight years, and have never known of
a single instance where it failed to give
perfect satisfaction. Parties who once use
it always make permanent customers, We
sell more of this article than all the other
Carminatives, soothing syrups and colic
drop* combined.” For teething children
it has no equal.

Pokey.
A citizen, while crossing Fort street
at Griswold, picked from the crosswalk
a Yale lock key with a tag attachment
on which was pen printed in capital
letters the word “Pokey.” He was
wondering over the significance of the
word when the loser of the key hap
pened along in search of it As the two
men' were old friends, the key was
handed over to its rightful owner.
“Excuse my curiosity,” said the
finder of the key, “to know the purport
of that word upon the tag. ”
“Certainly,” came the reply. “The
key Unlocks my portoffice box. *P. O.’
stands for portoffioe; ‘k-e-y,’ key. Post
office key. See?”
Then the two citizens hurriedly start
ed in opposite directions, each with a
broad grin on his face.—Detroit Free
