An election for malor will be held on August 29 for the- vacant office In the tiecond Georgia regiment, there being now only two majors in the regiment. The election will he held In the Vol unteers' armory hall and will be at tended by all the officers of the Second battalion. There are two spoken 6f for the of fice—Copt. John Hardeman of tW Flc-yd Rifles and Capt. Price Gilbert 'of the Columbus Guards. Capt. Hardeman Is not an announced danUWate for the place, but It fa understood-..that his friends among the military men here are counting largely on bln being the man. and he has ndt «iid he-would de cline the honor if offered him. The boys of his command, the Rifles, will not hear to his leaving them, however, and while they'are lotK to admit their selfishness In the matter, would really be disappointed to lose him. They love him as few commanders are esteemed and would no doubt give up all spirit In their honored company were he now to leave them after being sixteen years their captain. There Is another office to. be filled which Is Interesting soldiers throughout the state. It Is that of udjutaut gen eral of the state of Georgia. A lift. Gen. Kell’s term of office Is about out and will have to be filled. He Is an applicant fur re-election and Oupt. Owen T. Kenan of the city Is a candidate for the place. Capt. Kenan has a /great many warm friends and strong supporters throughout the state, and particularly are his friends In Ma con anxious to ses him raised to the deserved recognition of his rare abili ties. As n military man he has not a superior In the volunteer service of the state und If he wero to be the one chosen to succeed Adjt. Gen. Kell no one could find ground to fear that the office would not be credltnbly and ably filled. As to the present Incumbent, noth ing but good can be said of him. This statement Is authorized by the general recognition of his splendid service to the state nnd the high favor In which he stands everywhere. Besides having filled with absolute satisfaction the of fice of adjutant general, he has a record ns a true und tried ex-Confederate sol dier that carries wHh It the strength of overpowering odd*. He was an of ficer during the war on board the Ala bama when she went down In front of the historic Kearaarge.

He Summoned Dr. Ferguson to Give Evidence at a Coroner’s Inquest But THE DOCTOR WANTED PAY FIRST An Inquest field Orer ths Body of* Boy Whose Deoth Was Shrouded 1* Mystery—Hoe tho Coronor % Any Power f Has a physician the right to refuse to testify before & coroner’s Jury, is a ques tion that Is now agitating the rnlnd of Coroner Knight. Yesterday morning between 4 and 'b o'clock, Willie Tompkins, son of Kit Tompkins, living at 802 Hazel street, died under what his father said to be suepl- clous circumstances; In fact, the elder Tompkins openly declared that liis son’s death was caused from medicine prescribed by Dr. McCarthy, a colored physician, 'iompkins further stated that after Dr. McCarthy had treated his son for sev eral days and that he (Tompkins) felt convinced that the medicine prescribed by McCarthy had put his son into a deep sleep or stupor, he had called In Dr. Fer guson, who, upon examination of the body, and also of the boxes In which the medi cine had been, said that the medicine In one of the boxes would kill a mule. This statement that Tompkins alleges Dr. Ferguson made confirmed his suspicions concerning Che medicine prescribed by Mc Carthy, and after his son’s death, he de- mended an Inquest. Coroner Knight sought Dr. rergiion and In person notified him to be And ap pear as a witness before tne coroner’s Jury at Tompkin’s house at 3 o’clock yee- terday afternoon. At 2 o’clock Dr. Fergu son had not arrived, but about 4 o’clock he appeared at the house, but afte.* belrg sworn told Coroner Knight and the jury that he would positively refuse to-testify in the case unless paid to do sn. No ef fort was made to compel him to testify, and a few minutes later he left* / Dr. Ferguson was the principal witness In the case. On his testimony depended everything, for without It the Jury had no evidence that would give them reason to believe that the ttoy’s death w.a* caused \y other than natural causes. In ether words, the Investigation ot the case de pended on Dr. Ferguson’s tjstlmonv. After Dr. Ferguson left, the boy's father was examined, and he stated that within one hour after the boy took the medi cine first prescribed bY Dr. M-Earthy on Saturday last, he became dro wny and continued so until Sunday night, when fce was given a pill also prescribed by Mc Carthy, after which he became worse and continued in a deep sleep until he ditd yesterday morning. Dr. McCarthy was present nnd insisted on a- lull investigation of the case, Mr. Norman Shelverton, at whoso drug store the prescriptions—three In number- had been filled,. was also present with the prescriptions written by McCarthy, and stated to the Jury thit they were harmless If taken according to direc tions, and the one claimed, by Tompkins to have put the boy to sleep only contain ing two grains or morphine, which was given in five doses, four, of which, ac- coMlng to Tompkins, were gl7»t during ihe afternoon and one ths following morning. As the jury was unable to do anything without the testimony of Dr. Ferguson, tho inquest was continued to 9:39 o’clock tMn morning, by which time Coroner Knight will get legal advice on the ques tion. Dr. Ferguson stated to a Telegraph re porter that his object in refusing to testify was solely for the purpose ot making a test CISC as to whether a physician conl.l be compelled to testify before a coroner’s Jury without compensation, and It ro- m&’ns now for tho county attorney U eay whether he is In concetnpt. The question will also probably arise an to whether in this particular case his testimony is to be regarded as expert testimony. OUR GREAT PATTERN OFFER! GOWNED LIKE HER MOTHER. 659-+FRANCHENE WAIST.
