Professor Dußose Arrested.
We intended to publish the follow
ing from the Atlanta Journal last
week, but it was crowded out:
“Mr. S. W. Dußose, a well known
school teacher of DeKalb county, was
arrested this morning on warrants sworn
out by Patrolman J. A. Garner, charg
ing him with whipping a child with un
necessary severity.
Mr. Dußose was taken to police
headquarters and is allowed the free
dom oi the office until the maUer can
be straightened out.
The story as told by Mr. Bußose is
that he taught a summer school the
past summer at Luxomini, a little sta
tion on the Seaboard Airliue railroad.
One of bis pupils was a little son of
Policeman Garner, of this city.
Shortly before the close of the school
Mr. Dußose found it necessary to pun
ish young Garner for some breach of
decorum, and on that whipping hinges
the whole proceedings.
Mr. Dußose says he did not whip the
little fellow severely, but on the contra
ry he was very mild in administering
the rod.
Mr. Garner says that the little fellow
is an invalid and a cripple, and that
Mr. Dußose is a member of one of the
most prominent families in this portion
of Georgia. His father is one of the
oldest Piesbyteriau ministers in the
church, and has been stationed at De
catur for many years. The family con
nection is large and the young man
who was arrested this morning is well
and favorably known. He is a candi
date for the Presbyterian ministry,
and was on bis way to Davison college,
near Charlotte, N. C., when he was
arrested. His trunk was at the depot
and he was about to step on the train
for Charlotte when the warrant was
served on him The case will be tried
at LawrencevUle.’'
SOLID DEMOCRACY.
IIENRV COUNTY ALL RIGHT.
Eloquent ami l.oyal Speakers <1 reeled
l*y lireat Numbers of Staunch ami
Enthusiastic Hearers- -Every
body Happy.
Henry county’s democracy is safe
and sound.
That fact was demonstrated to the
entire satisfaction of the faithful last
Tuesday, when they gathered into Mc-
Donough to hear the true doctriues of
our fathers proclaimed anew.
Aud a substantial gathering it was,
too.
Although the drenching rains con
tinued to saturate mother earth during
the fore part of the morning, after an
almost steady downpour during the
night, when the hour for speaking ar
rived the old court house was overflown
till not another could be jammed in.
All fears of the early morning that the
great occasion would he “rained out”
were cheerfully dispelled by the sturdy
yeomanry who had flocked in from all
quarters to attest tbeir loyalty to the
principles of true democracy.
llou. Robt. L. Berner was the first
speaker, and ou account of the weath
er the large stand which had prepared
on the public square could not be used.
Consequently Col. Berner was com
pelled to go into the court house, where
as many as could possibly get in listen
ed for over two hours to one of the
finest political speeches ever delivered
on any occasion iu this section, and
one that could scarcely be improved iu
any particular. To say his crowded
house of hearers were delighted hut
feebly expresses it.
At the conclusion of Mr. Berner’s
speech seperate tables were spread on
the public square aud all cordially in
vitated to partake, which invitation
was accepted with a will that betoken
ed the good feeling that prevailed.
By this" time the threatening clouds
had all dispersed, and when the other
two speakers appeared upon the stand
ou the square in the afternoon the
crowd had been considerably augmen
ted.
Judge Bartlett here entertained the
throng for about two hours in a sound
and masterly effort which was highly
creditable to “the game cock from
Bibb.”
Hon. Charlie Brand, our senatorial
nominee, was then heaid for the first
time by the people of Henry county.
He at once caught his hearers and drew
them closer and closer to him as he
proceeded. It is safe to say that be is
the right man in the right place, ;and
will reflect high credit upon the 34th
senatorial district in the legislature.
Henry county is charmed with him.
At Col. Brand’s close, Mr. Berner
was again called out by his numerous
admirers iu au enthusiastic appeal, aud
of course enthused them.
Altogether the rally was a big suc
cess, and everybody went home hap
PJ-
A largo number of colored citizens
were present and the intense interest
they manifested was notable. That
they were highly aud favorably im
pressed is evident.
One of the striking features was the
absence of the populists, as only a very
few of them turned out. It is evident
that they cannot stand the open aud
free presentation of the facts.
A special to the Atlanta Journal has
this to say of the occasion :
McDonough, Ga., September 19
Yesterday was a “field day” for the
Henry county democracy—Bartlett,
Berner and Brand were all here. The
McDonough Silver Cornet Band ren
dered soul-stirring airs, there were plen
ty of good things to eat aud to spare
and everybody was happy.
Before 10 o’clock the courthouse was
filled. At 10, General Charles T.
Zachry called the crowd to order and
Mr. Thomas D. Stewart introduced
Hon. Robert L. Beruer, who held the
crowd spell bound for over two hours
with his matchless oratory and sound
democratic doctrine.
At 12:30 p. m., the meeting was ad
journed for an hour to partake of the
good dinner that had been prepared by
the citizens and those from the sur
rounding country.
At 2 p. m., the crowd gathered under
the large arbor which had been pre
pared for the occasion, but could not
be used in the forenoon by reason of
the rain.
Colonel George W. Bryan intro
duced Judge Charles L. Bartlett, who
made a masterly defense of the demo
cratic party and showed the utter folly
and foolishness of the charges preferred
by the people’s party.
At 3:30 p. m., Mr. J. Q. Nolan in
troduced Coloml Charles H. Brand,
who entertained the vast crowd for
over an hour with a striking speech.
This was Mr. Bland's first speech in
this county, and the people were high
ly pleased with him.
At the close of Mr. Brand’s speech,
! there were loud cries for “Berner !”
“Berner !” Mr. Berner responded in a
half-bour speech in which his appeal to
the “colored brother” was strong and
logical. At the conclusion, ho reques
ted ali the voters who were going io
support the democratic nominees to
staud up, aud nearly every ntau, white
and black, responded. He then re
quested all who were going to support
the people’s party nominees to staud
up, and only oue man rose to his feet.
Even this oue proved to be a good
democrat who was seeking a joke.
Altogether it was a great day for
democracy iu the grand ohl mother
couuty of Henry. The county gave
the state ticket over 700 majority two
years ago and it is predicted that the
democratic majority this time will be
over a thousand.

INGENIOUS PLAN FOR DECEPTION.
Wiley Schemers Trying to Sell Inferior
Cyclopedias Under I’retenses That Are
False—“ There Is No Vice So Simple but
Assumes Some Mark of Virtue in Hia
Outward Parts.**
We clip the following from the At
lanta Constitution in the hope that it
will protect our readers against the
misrepresentations of any unreliable
book agents who may approach them.
The Constitution is certainly doing an
excellent work in the way of encourag
ing methods of home education. And
it is to be deplored that there are per
sons so unscrupulous as to take advan
tage of the groat interest which has
thus been aroused and attempt to turn
it to their own personal gain. *
It would be bad enough If they simply
defrauded The Constitution of the right
ful reward for its liberal educational
enterprise, but what is worse, these
pretenders are palming off on an unsus
pecting public all sorts of inferior pub
lications, at a price nearly suffiannt to
buy the genuine now edition of the En
cyclopaedia Britanuica, now offered at
special introductiory rates by The Con
stitution. The Constitution says:
In Wednesday’s Constitution the lead
lng editorial was devoted to an expose of
the Insidious attempt of the jute (rust to
deceive cotton shippers. This brings us to
the consideration of another matter upon
which the public should 1)6 informed.
Believing that the wide dissemination
of the now edition of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica would be a lasting and decided
benefit, to the people of this section, a
special introductory contract was secured
from the Britannica publishers wholly in
the interest of our readers. The Consti
tution is notin the book business for any
profit on the sales. It is not concerned, in
a pecuniary sense, further than the legiti
mate increase of the number of subscrib
ers to the daily and the weekly Constitu
tion. The knowledge of the educational
good it is accomplishing through this lib
eral offer would alone be sufficient reconi
pense for the entire undertaking
This liberal enterprise of The Constitu
tion has excited the cupidity of certain
persons who have other books to sell.
Taking advantage of our methods for in
troduction of Britannica into houses not
already provided, they seek to cunningly
impress prospective buyers that they can
offer something ‘'practically the same” or
‘‘just as good.” This is deceptive, and we
wish our readers to understand that the
new edition of the Encyclopedia Britan
nica is just off the press; that it has never
been offered to the public before in any
section of the United States, and that it
can be had only from The Constitution or
its authorized representatives. All others
purporting to be the same are so present
ed for the purpose of deception.
This is a matter to which The Constitu
tion has been slow to make reference, be
cause we recogulze the right of every man
to advance bis own pecuniary Interests by
selling any books he may have or may be
able to obtain. While no reference library
can be found ecjual to the new ediiion of
the Encyclopedia Britanuica, yet The Con
stitution recognizes the fact tnat this does
not render other reference libraries value
less; and there may be those who could
not afford to purchase the best even at the
exceptionally low introductory price now
offered to The Constitution readers. It
would be an undoubted blessing to such
to obtain a reference library of any sort
that would come within their means, for
all reference books are valuable aids to
ward self-education. ,
There can be no objection, therefore, to
other persons offering their nooks for sale
anywhere and at any time they see fit, so
long as they coniine themselves to the
truth, and sell tbelr hooks at proper prices,
not attempting by deceptive methods, to
obtaiu for their inferior works a price
which would enable the purchaser, had
he not been deceived, to obtain the genu
ine new edition of the Encylopaedia Brit
fcaiiica. It would tie all well enough if
these inferior works were sold at a price
proportionate, but those who buy should
understand that they are not getting the
new edition, or anything like it. A refer
ence to any modern suhjecT;-such as Aus
tralian ballot system, welding iron by elec
tricity, electrocution, etc., show how ut
terly inadequate these out-of date editions
are to fill the needs of a mau who wants
up-to-date information.
Some of these itinerants have been so
bold as to use language intended to lead
buyers to believe that they w ere represen
tatives of The Constitution. A little care,
however, will uncover this mask, as every
person who is authorized to offer the new
edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica is
provided with a letter of idehtification
from The Constitution. If not provided
with such a letter, which the buyer ha* a
right to see, purchasers may know he
is not a representative of The Constitu
tion, nor has he the genuine new edttiou
