The handsome groom was attired

____________
How the Marshal KUled the Negro—
(everything Quiet Now.
Columbus, Ga., Dec. 27.—Nearly
everybody in Columbus wanted to
hear the news from Greenville yester¬
day. An Enquirer Sun reporter saw
a gentlemen from that city nnd
learned from him all the facts in con¬
nection with the killing of the negro
by Marshal McLendon. The negro
was drunk and disorderly and was
arrested by a deputy marshal. Mar"
sbal McLendon walked up and in¬
structed that the negro be released
upon the condition that he would
go home at once. The negro agreed
to do so and was released. He did
not keep his promise, however, but
took another drink of whisky and
said no man could drive him out of
town.
Marshal McLendon then arrested
the negro himself and started with
him to the guard house. The negro
resisted and threw the officer to the
ground, falling on top of him. Mr-
McLendon, while on the grouud,
managed to get his pistol out and
shot the negro. The ball passed
through the body, killing the negro
instantly, and also inflicting a
wound in the marshal’s hand, whicn
was under him.
There was a large crowd of negroes
•n the town at the time, and they
grew demonstrative over the killing
of one of their number. Some of the
citizens became alarmed and tele¬
graphed to Columbus for the Colum¬
bus Guards. This was more of a
precautionary measure than any¬
thing else. The negroes soon left the
town, and everything has been quiet
since. It is said they threatened to
have revenge last night, but there is
no probability that they attempted
it. The white people were prepared
for any emergency. ,

Editnr News and Sun:— Having
received numerous inquiries in regard
to the aim and requirements of the
recently organized Confederate Vet¬
erans’ Association of Spalding coun¬
ty I accept your kind permission to
give a synopsis of its constitution
for the benefit of your readers.
In the language of said constitu¬
tion “The objects of the Associotion
are the conservation of Confederate
memories, the promotion of fellow¬
ship between the surviving officers
and soldiers of the army and navy of
the Confederate States, the extension
of reasonable aid and sympathy to
fellow members in seasons of sickness
und distress, and, in case of death,
burial and rendition of, suitable
funeral honors.”
It will be seen, therefore, that this
is altogether a praisworthy object
and one which should enlist the live-
iest co-operation of every surviving
Confederate veteran, and the sympa¬
thy and respect of all the people of
our county. It should especially
commend itself to the women of our
section whos^ bosoms still contain
that beautiful sentiment of devotion
toward those who with chivalric
valor endured the hardships of war
and gave heroic obedience to the call
of conscience and the demand oftheir
immediate state authorities. And
every one of these noble women wifi
doubtless conceive it to be her duty
and find it a pleasure to foster the en¬
terprise by encouraging all their ex-
Confederate relatives to a prompt
connection with the Association.
We have no oaths or secret cere"
monies to bind us together. The
hairbreadth escapes, the many
marches, the midnight vigils, the
hungers and thirsts, the muutul de¬
pendence and the happy bivouacs, of
a four year’s war wrought a chain
whose links of friendships cannot
easily lie broken, though somewhat
tarnished by lack of use but now to
be brightened and brought to light
by this and kindred association.
This is not an association to re¬
vive dead issues or memories of ha¬
tred or strife between sections. But
to preserve the rememberance of the
beautiful, the good and the true of
our own heroes and section. Neith¬
er is it to !>e a harbour for dead beats
aud self-seekers, but a l^SfL of true
J^oke-fellows, with sympathetic
^rieartH and willing hands for foster¬
ing of a brotherhood made doubly
dear by sufferings passed through
together, and the aleviation of that
forlorness which often causes to the
•urvivors of a lost comes who are be¬
reft of bounty and govermental pro¬
tection.
Those only, are permitted to be
active members of the Association,
who served in the army or navy of
the Confederate States. But sons of
anv member of the Association, or
. ho. iflife, would be elfcnde
to membership, may be received as
auxiliary member by the payment of
initiation fee and annual dues, but
these last cannot hold office, vote or
participate in the business of any
meeting.
The initiation fee is fifty cents and
annual dues one dollar. Assess-
raente not to exceed two dollars per
year may lie levied to meet any de¬
ficiency of the yearly revenue of the
Association. And the Association
may exempt from dues, at his re¬
quest, any member who has attained
the age of seventy years, or who by
reason of wounds or imfirmity is
incapable of earning a living. These
are placed on the ret ired list and con¬
sequently exempt from active ser¬
vice. 1
Standing committees composed o
discreet members, elected annually,
are as follows;
Executive committee.
Visiting committee.
Relief committee
Other committees are appointed by
the presiding officer.
The executive committee has gen¬
eral supervision of the affairs of the
Association and for the present term
is as follows;
R. S. Connell, John H. Mitchell, J.
D. Boyd, T. J. Brooks, T. J. Mitchell.
The visiting committee iA^specially
charged with the duty of vistkig sick
and needy members, and are to take
steps, make report to the Associa¬
tion that proper steps may be taken
to alleviate the sufferings of such
members. This committee for the
present term is as follows; H. E.
Williamson, George R. Niles, Wm.K.
Hanleiter, G. W. Cunningham.
The reliei committee has for its du¬
ty the careful examination of all ap¬
plications for relief and to act in said,,
cases as provided by the constitu¬
tion. *This committee for the .pres¬
ent term is composed as follows: A.
C. Sorrel, C. A. Dickinson, A. W.
Blake, Thad. J. Clark, John J. Hunt.
The constitu tion also provides that
in case of the death of any member
a detail of six members is to be made,
by the presiding officer, to attend the
funeral, and represent the Associa¬
tion in paying the last tribute of re¬
spect tothe deceased brother.
The officers for the present term
are as follows:
Henry C. Burr, Commander.
T. W. Flynt, Vice Commander.
Joshua Hammond, Secretary.
John F. Stilwell, Treasurer.
Rev. H. S. Bradley, Chaplain.
Dr. T. J. Collier, Surgeon.
Wm. R. Hanleiter, Historian.
The regular monthly .meetings are
to be held on the 1st Saturday in
each month, at 10 o’clock a. m. The
quarterly meetings are to be held 1st
Saturdays of April, July, October
and January, while the annual meet¬
ing is to be held hereafter on the
26th of April, when the officers are to
be elected, the history of the Associ¬
ation for the preceedingyear shall be
submitted and reports of officers ren-
dot-ed. ‘
On the 3rd Sunday in October of
each year a memorial service shall be
held that proper tribute may be paid
to the memory of any member who
may have died during the proceeding
year. And in this connection I spe¬
cially request that all concerned will
place in my hands, promptly after
the death of any member, such state¬
ments of facts relating to the life or
war record of .the the deceased as will
enable me to do my duty as historian
and to further the interest of the
memorial services.
Comrades who wore the grey during
the times which tried men’s souls we
appeal to j ou to unite with us in this
laudable undertaking. Our next
meeting will be on Saturday, Jan.
4th, at the court house, 10 o'clock,
a. iu., when applications for member¬
ship can be received, but must under
the law lie over until next meeting.
Each application must be accompa¬
nied with the initiation fee and the
annual dues of two dollars. And the
applicant must lie vouched for by
two members as to his eligibility.
Your comrade,
Wm. R. Hanleiter.
