John Tem pie Graves, editor of the Atlanta Georgian and News, and Walter P. Andrews, were standing In front of Brown & Allen's drug store, at the corner of Whitehall and Alabama, discussing meningitis and the sudden ness with which it attacked human itv, without premonitory symptoms. "The most terrible feature of this dread malady," said Colonel Graves to Mr. Andrews. "Is that it strikes one like an unseen hand out of tbe darkness, and one never knows what has happened." With these words—prophetic, In the light of what Immediately hap pened—on his lips. Colonel Graves staggered, and sank to his knees, be ing dazed and rendered almost uncon scious by an unseen hand, whicn struck him violently on the hack of the head. “What Is It? Has meqhigitls struck me? , asked Colonel Graves as soon as he had recovered front the stunning blow. ne was quickly reassured by his companion, Mr. Andrews, that It was tot mlnlngitls, but J. H. Crutchfield, who had struck him. Crutchfield, who Is a dealer In ma chinery, recently figured prominently In the public eye, and in the columns of the local newspapers by reason of two sensational divorce suits filed against him by his wife, who alleged that he had treated her with cruelty. Subsequently. Mrs. Crutchfield was shot one evening several months ugo; as she was entering her home on S. Pryor street, by the discharge of a shotgun In the hands of Crutchfield, the wound necessitating the amputa tion of her leg at the knee. Crutchfield was tried for assault with intent to murder, but was ap- qultted, his defense being that his wife seized his gun, causing Its ac cidental discharge in trying to wrest It from hint. Seeing Colonel Graves struck down at his feet, and taken as completely by surprise as was Colonel Graves, Mr. Andrews turned, and seeing Crutchfield In a fighting attitude, Seized Colonel Graves' walking stick, and struck Crutchfield several times, the latter warding the blows oft bis head with his hands and arms. Crutchfield then backed across the street, with his hand In his hip pock et, It Is said, daring Mr. Andrews to strike him again. About a block fur-' ther on he made a stand, defying any one to touch hint. At this Juncture, Patrolman Terry appeared on the scene, and placed Crutchfield under arrest, Immediate ly releasing him, however, upon a copy of charges. Captain Mayo learcnd of this at po lice headquarters and immediately is sued orders for Crutchfield's arrest, which was accomplished by Sergeant Shepard and Patrolmen Hill and Childs, near the postofflee about 2 o'clock. He was taken to the bar racks and released at 4 o'clock upon depositing 1100.75 collateral for his appearance before Recorder Broyles to answer the charge of disorders conduct. While not desiring to harshly critl. else the policeman for releasing Crutchfield on n copy of charges, Col onel Graves expressed himself to the effect that It should not hnve been done, and probably would not • have been done had the officer known of the character of the assault made bv Crutchfield. Crutchfield attacked Colonel Graves because of certain articles publish ed about him in the Georgian some months ago, when Crutchfield was an Inmate of the Tower awaiting trial upon the chrage of shooting his wife with intent to murder her.

Chicago, March 13.—Small families have a new champion In the person of Professor Edward A. Ross, the uni- terslty of Wisconsin, sociologist who combats President Rnotsveit's theory and lays down a novel rrgu- ment for the restriction of the human race. He takes t stand against tTe popular views of what he calls ;he hobby riders, and maintain* that the cause of shrinkage In population Ita* In the "human will, influenced by ccr. tain factors which bare roots deen In tjie civilization of our times/'; These factors, he declares, are de mocracy. tbe emancipation of women, the decay of religious beliefs. That onr American forests abound Id plants which possess the most valuable medicinal virtues Is abundantly attested by scores of tlio most eminent medical writers and teachers.
