MILL MEN’S FATAL FIGHT.
Lanett, Ala., la Scene of Tragic Oc¬
currence.
West Point. Ga.. April 28.—In the
town of Ijanett, which is the Alabama
side of West Point, Lucias Ogletree
shot and instantly killed John L. Pot¬
ter and fatally wounded Dan Zachry
and then made good his escape.
All of the parties are white men,
being operatives of the Lanett mills,
and lived within a vary short distance
of each other.
Ogletree was appointed gatekeepeT
for the day operatives, who were out
on a strike and wijo gave him orders to
let no one in or out..
Potter, being still lp the mill build¬
ing, wanted to come out and then go
back in again. This was refused him
by Ogletree and Potter became angry
and made.threats of doing him harm.
He went back into the mill building
to his individual tool box, getting his
hammer, and going to the fence, began
knocking off pickets. He was inter¬
rupted in this work by Ogletree, where¬
upon he got angry and struck Ogletree
on the head with his'hammer.
Dan Zachry, who is a brother-in-law
of Potter, was among the crowd of on¬
lookers, and rus-hed up to help him,
striking Ogletree over the body with
a large stick, felling him to his knees.
While in this position Ogletree drew
a pistol from his pocket and Bred five
times at his assailants. Throe of the
shots struck Potter, one entering the
Jeft side of the head and two entering
the abdomen, killing him instantly.
The next two shots were directed
toward Zachry, one entering his abdo¬
men and lodging in his back. The
other missed its mark entirely. Ogle¬
tree fled for safety, first going to see
a physician to have his head dressed,
and then left for parts unknown.
Potter and Zachry were moved to
the mill office and a physician was
summoned for Zachry. Zachry's con¬
dition is announced to be extremely
critical and no hope is entertained for
his recovery.
TALKS OF CHILD CULTURE.
Mary A. Livermore Takes Issue with
Roosevelt and Eliot.
Chicago, April 28.—A dispatch to
The Record-Herald from Boston says:
Before the members of an organiza¬
tion called the Mothers and Fathers’
club, Mary A. Livermore spoke of
“child culture” last Sight and took is¬
sue with President Roosevelt and
President Eliot on the race suicide
question. She said:
“We need to listen more to talk
about the culture of fathers and moth,
ers than we do to the culture of the
child, it seems to me. There are
two mighty factors that enter into the
making of individuals and of nations.
These factors are hereditary and en¬
vironment. There are men and wo¬
men who are unfit to be the parents
of children. At the present time we
have to -depend upon environment. In
many cases it is better to take children
away from their natural parents, so
that they may have a chance to do bet¬
ter.
"The need is not more children, but
better ones. It would not be race sui¬
cide if we were’ to have more homes
into which only two or three children
were born. Quality and character
signify more than a horde.”

The Last Impediment Removed and Work Will Soon

BOND ELECTION CALLED
FOB TENTH OF JUNE
J. M. Brawner, E. C. Smith and H. H. Bass Nominated
for Waterworks and Sewer Commissioners.
Council met in regular session
yesteidiy afternoon, with Mayor
Bailey, Aldermen Mangbam,
Brooks, Boyd, Bnrpee, Mills, Smith
and Newton present.
A petition from A. S. Blake for
the refunding of last year’s oity tax
on 8(65 worth of farming utensils
was referred to finance committee.
Chairman Boyd, of the finance
committee, stated that he was reedy
to report an ordinance for an emo¬
tion for sewer and waterworks
bond* to the amount of 8100,000
bearing interest at the rate of four
per cent., which in vestigation had
oonvinoed the committee oould be
floated at par or above ; 865,000 of
said bonds to be for the purpose of
oonstruoting sewers and 835,000 for
the improvement of the waterworks
plant. The ordinanoe was accord¬
ingly read by the olerk,
Mr. Boyd then submitted several
letters showing that the writers
wonld not be interest’d in bonds at
a rate of less than 4)£ per oens.
Mr. Maugham stated that La-
Grange and Columbus had jnst
floated 8250,000 of bonds at 4 per
cent., while Atlanta had just voted
new bonds at 3% per cent. He
thought that. 4 per cent, was ample.
Messrs. Smith and Burpee expressed
themselves to the same effect.
Mr. Brooks said that, the La-
Grange bonds had been floitod by
borne people under peculiar circum¬
stances and oonld not be taken as a
ortterian.
On motion of Mr. Mangham it
was decided to make the bonds bear
fonr per cent,, none voting to the
oontrary.
On motion of Mr. Mangham it
was decided to hold the election for
bunds on Wi-duesday, Jane 10th.
Ou motion of Mr Boyd it was de
oided to make the bonds and inter¬
est payable at the oity treasury in
Griffin or the Importers and Trad¬

LAGRANGE ALDERMEN
INSPEC T FIRE DEPARMENT
And Are Shown How They Could Vastly Improve on
Griffin’s System.
Aldermen Fuller E. Callaway and
Ben Hutchinson and Mr. Hoy
Dallas, of LaGrange, were in the
city yesterday for the purpose of
inspecting Griffin’s flre department
with the Idea of making snoh im¬
provements m their own system as
would allow a reduotion in their
insurance rates.
They were shown both the
beauties of our department-, by
which we have escaped having
many sarious fires for years past
with but a few paid men in active
service, and also tho expensive en¬
cumbrance that we continue to
maintain in the remnants of a
now useless vo’an tear system that
we have long outgrown, by whicr
we lose a thousand dollars a yea-
for whtoh we get sou roe! y any re¬
This has been the sole cause ot
the delay, which in the nature of
the case was inevitable, and there
has never been any doubt rathe
minds of those interested as to the
Anal completion of the projeot,
though the holt has naturally cans-
eiths cl ways skeptical public to
think that possibly the matter hid
been abandoned as unfeasible. Bit
too much money has already baen
invested, and the engineering
plans have too fully ahowu its prac¬
ticability and profit, for it to be
dropped. Being a large affair, it
will mturally requiro considerable
capital, but in the hands ot Captain
Grantland, W. J. Kincaid and their
associates any amount nectary
will be readily commanded.
What all this means to Griffin in
the way of supplying the best and
cheapest power for all kinds of
manutacturers can b-j easily seeu,
and the news will be occasion for
deepest congratulation.
rales were suspended and tho ordi¬
nance was adopted unanimously.
On motion of Mr. Brooks the
council proceeded to ballot for the
nomination of three commissioners
to disburse the money from the
bond issue, provided it carries, ac¬
cording to an amendment to the
charter previously proposed, snoh
nomination to be binding upon the
council in the subsequent election
after the charter is amended. The
result was as follows : J. M. Braw¬
ner for six years, E. C. Smith four
years, H. H. Bass for two years. It
was stated that these gentlemen
had agreed to serve.
Chairman Brooks, of the polype
oommittee, reported in opposition
to weakening the foroe by taking
off an officer for sanitary pnrposes,
and that a new man for that pur¬
pose be elected at a salary of forty
dollars a month. >.
Mr. Mills moved not to concur in
report of police oommittee, wbioh
was oarried.
Mr Searoy pointed out that it mas
the duty of the oounoil to designate
a policeman for the purpose.
William Holloway, a hack driver,
petitioned for 82,000 damages tor
injuries received by falling out ol
his beck while driving through a
ditoh on a dark night. Referred to

flMr Newton reported that petition
committee was unable to agree as

Mr. Burpee reported a dead end

On motion of Mr. Mangham, it was
