A Fast Mile by Maud 3.
Lexington, November 8.—Robert Bonner,
who arrived here on Thursday last, superin
tended the shoeing of Mand 3, this morning,
and directed that her trainer, W. W. Bair,
should give her two exercising miles, to keep
her up for the cup performance next week,
should the Indian summer last As the weath
er bad been bad and tbe mare had been short
of work, nothing great was anticipated.
The time of . tho warming _ up
mile was 2:21%. Bair nodded
forihe word in the ft*st score of the second
sttempt and tbo first quarter was trotted ln S3
seconds, the half mile ln lKHK. three quarters
In 1:36*4 and the mile was finished good and
strong in 2:10*1. This is the fastest mile ever
trotted in this dtate, and the fastest mile ever
trotted In the month of November. The track
was slow, having been frosen last night. After
the performance, Mr. Slade, the engineer who
built the track, and Mr. Hamilton Buiby. ed
itor of the Turf, Field and Farm, went around
it w Ith a tape line. Maud 8. was compelled to
trot on tarns eight feet from the rail, which

He Caught Them.
During the last few days Messrs. Johnson A
Harris have been telegraphing eloctlon news
to their friends and customers on the several
lines of railroad, among them Col.W. II. Willis

Look Out for Him.
Information from a reliable source Informs
us that a man apparently about 27 years of
age, with very black hair and eyes, has been
swindling some of tbe good people of Morgan,
Calhoun county.
After assuring the town that he Intended to
start a blacksmith and wood shop, he bor
rowed an overcoat from aeonfldlog citizen to
vlilt a neighboring village f >>r a few hours and
skipped out, leering his board unpaid. He
will doubtless attempt the same game on other
commnnltses ln Southwest Oeorgla, and they
should look out for him.
M»rung. Tbe question then came up—
who owned such a wagon. By knocking
about through the countryhe found an owner.
Then he discovered ghat the wagon was carri
ed to Reynold* on the night oi uio Jlst. It had
been met by a man who was on his way from
Reynolds. He asked tbo driver what tbe wag-
on was out so late at night fer, aud the reply
came from tho negro that he was haulfug
°°Tne detective worked on this, an1 In a few
days, by following up one clue after another,
an t working up the case as a well trained de
tective cao, that tbe wagon belonged to a cer
tain party; that it was uken to Reynolds on
the night of the 21st; that the next day two
b.iea of cotton were token to a tin house
a ; r-tKicked, and Chen hid ln tbe woods:
a . then be found that a certain party had
t..-- ginning doue, because he was met with
tm- cotton by a negro woman.
1M- chain of circumstances was made com-
t-;. to by the detective, and the suspected perty
!k-1 Mr. Jones reported the result to ihe au
th..ritlea at Maam. In the meantime the sns
j- .l party left the country.
Detectlva Jones was nine davs ou the case,
and the State fair Interfered, lie started wl'h

aficn He ended by fastening the guilt ou
a m H i who gave the country to understand
tha* he was guilty by going away.

The Synod of Ceorgla and Evolution.
Macon, Qa., November 5,1 - -1.—Editors
TtUpraph and Metten&r: Without wish-
log to open a newspaper controversy on
the subject of evolution, which as a mode
ot discussing the theory would be both un
suitable and unsatisfactory, the writer
would like to say a word about your edito
rial ot November 4, as to tbe action of the
Synod of Georgia ou the question there
discussed and settled for the time being ln
Its relation to that body.
The dilllculty of dealing with it under
the circumstances wts fully appreciated by
the synod, but there was no getting
round it, action must be taken otto way or
another. As to tiiefr fitness for taking up
the case submitted to them in their eccle
siastical capacity. It may safelylbe said
that a more Intelligent, learned, cautions,
S irtctlcal set of men could not have been
ronght together In this State or elsewhere.
Neither was there the slightest measure of
i udlffere nee manifest a. to tbe very serious
responsibility which devolved upon them
In coming to a decision. This waa reached
with a full-understanding of ita very im
portant bearing upon very aerious results.
Ncr were they dianosed ln any measure or
degree to do the slightest possible Injustice
to Dr. Wocdrow or the board of directors
ol tbe Columbia Seminary. The Impres
sion made upon the minds of candid men
who were present and heard tbe whole
case was that no Injustice was done.
But you say "the theory ot evolution has
not had a fsir trial before tbe Georgia
Synod. Tbs wrong side has been forced
to furnish the evidence, and tbe jury that
tried the case was not competent.” This
la not new. The synod had these
very points pressed upon them with
persistent energy. Their decision was
retched alter their iteration and reitera
tion day by day. Indeed, It was a msin
point ot Dr. Woodrow's argument that the
synod was not only Incompetent, bat also
was going out of ita legitimate province ln
dealing with the matter at all. Synod,
however, tbooght differently, and acted on
its own judgment as to that and other
matters.
You urge that Dr. Woodrow has been Sidney newspaper: "Missionary very good
injustly dealt with, in that he was not put fellow. Miisionary he come along an" he
n trial for heresy. This was also* per- see Ksntka boy with banana leal round
him. Missionary he say: 'White msr.
God no like banana leaf; white man God
like cilico.' ‘Oh, and whosold the calico?'
Oh, missionary, he sell calico.' ”
lx Dublin they have changed tho
name of Carlisle bridge to O Conneil
bridge, and now the finest street In Eu
rope, Sackville street, in that city, Is, by
order of the corporation, to be named
O'Connell street. The national monument
to the “Liberator” stands at the northern
end of the bridge, In Sackville street, at
tbe intersection of Eden Quay and fische-
for heresy. This was also a per
siatent claim of his, so that the synod could
not plead ignorance of snch a manner of
dealing with him But the tynod knew well
that It ha. no right or authority to arraign
anil try him on that charge or on any
other. Hi. personal responsibility for
anything affecting character or orthodoxy
Is to his presbytery, and the synod cannot
even claim to Instruct bis presbytery on
sucbmat'.eis; nor could tbe syuodtake any
such proceedings as regards his conduct
or opl.ions as professor in tbe seminary.
For this he is amenable to the board of
directors. They must take cognisance of
such things and deal with him, making re
port of their action to tbe synods appoint
ing them. It was tbe report of this board
for the put year which brought the ques*
tion before tbe synod. Tbe board had ascer
tained the Professor's views on evolution
and sustained him and his teaching by a
vote of eight to three. It became, there
fore, tbe duty of the synod to review this
action and pronounce upon it either in ap
proval or otherwise, as ft wu undoubtedly
their right to do.
Whether in doing this they have either
acted unfairly or dealt unjustly, the facts
le. The opening speech was
Dr. Woodrow u a courtesy,
and the following addresses were
given, turn and turn about, for

filled thirteen aud a half hours of the time
consumed Id debate, while their opponents
bad but six and a balf hours; and the
synod strenuously resisted and voted down
every attempt to limit either time or
speech until Saturday evening, when it
was almost unanimously admitted that
tbe debate stood closed. The same meas
ure was observed In apportioning tbe time
for concluding the diecussion, two hours
to Drs. Woodrow and Cliabv, and one to
Dr. Strickner. That Dr. Woodrow only
made uso of n few minutes of his hour to
brand his critics as alanderera and demand
a trial was no fault of the synod, the mat
ter had to close somewhere and somehow,
as even organic dustevolved into flesh and
blood—If men are snch—has Its limitations.
As to the injustice to Dr. Woodrow, and
his complaint that no charges had been
brought against him.it has been shown
that Tbe synod could not do it.'' But, If be
is so anxious about this, there Is no man
in tho Presbyterian church who knows
better how to bring it about than be does
Tbe probability le that even this will be
somehow accomplished, for such pro
cesses are sometimes alow, anil all the
formallliea ot tho church constitution have
not yet been exhausted in this case. The
TxuroKArn and Messenger may yet hare
better ground for offering sympathy than
has already been presented.
It is a church matter, and not a scien
tific question, which is at present
before the church. Not as to tbe
truth or falsity of evolution, bnt
whether tho Presbyterian church ia
prepared to accept and teach a theory
which appears at least to contradict the
plain assertion of the word of God on a
subject which Is much more than "the
whittling ot Adam out of a pin* stick
with a jsck-knifo" or .evolving him
from a brute beast, and which even
Its own advocates ere not sure about, the
best scientists themselves regard as "not
proven," end which ita own professor says
Is only probably true. •
There I* not, nor can there be any con.
filet between true science and revelation,
for both ere God's. But all that Is put
forth ae edence is not necessarily such be
cause it la ao ticketed by its advocates, nor
la the Presbyterian church afraid of sci
ence, as Its put history fully proves;
neither would it place any obitacle in the
way of ita ministers or studenti in their
earnest pursuit of its investigation. But
as a conservator of truth It proposes to ex
ercise its Judgment on such things, and to
control the agencies it employs so that its
authority may be given alone to the teach
ing ot what experience and Bound reason
show to be wtu and good. And in this
the church is only seeking to carry out
tbe scripture injunction, "Receive not
every spirit, but try the spirits whether
they be ot God.”
As the theory of evolution is public prop
erty, according to the TiLEaearn akd
MEesExani. tbe Synod of Georgia rad other
similar bodies, u part of tbe public, claim
he right to deal with It, especially when It
Intrudes itself within their domain and
seeks to Interfere with what doe* not con
cern it, till it can better claim maturity
than preeent facta Justify. In Its undevel
oped end uncertain condition, evolution
will hav* to submit to being “assailed,”
whether wantonly or not; it moat discover
it* "uitsaing links” and present itself ln Its
completeness before It can claim tbe dig
nity and deference of a full-orbed science.
On behalf ot the Synod of Ororgiawe
most respectfully but positively declare
that It bu not “closed the discussion.” It
does not, and would belle all Its peat record
Uttdid,'keep men from thinking.” And
■ofares in its deliberate judgment the
question Invotved concerned Itself end tbe
leered Interests in Its keeping, it bes done
anything but “dodge the true issue.”

TIIS MEETING OF LAWYERS
In New York city on Friday and upon
whose application the Supreme Court
(which is somewhat similar to the Superior
Court of our Stafe) has granted a rule re
quiring the bureau of elections to permit
an Inspection of the ejection return;,seems
to be a spontaneous nud non-partisan
movement. There were present Demo
crats, Republican* and Independents, the
most prominent of the latter beiepf benja
min H. Bristow. D’ARUes^cau raid of
awyer* that “they are placed for the pub
lic good between the throne of justice and
the tumult of human passions.* 1 That tu
mult Is now at its height; and iftheoffl-
clal count should exhibit so close a vote as
to intensify the excitement, it would be
fortunate If a dklnteresteJ body of eml.
nent lawyers, with cool heads and honest
purpose., should be on hand, not ln the
interest, of party, but of justice. The bar

It* Influence has always been conserva

CONFEHBATIOX OV INNOCENT CONVICTS.
This curioua subject has recently receiv
ed some attention in England and in Mas
sachusetts. If a railroad company kills a
man, his family may recover damages
equal ln amount to the value of his life to
them. But it (as has sometimes happen-
ed) the.State hangs a man for a crime of
which he ia innocent, and hie innocence is
subsequently proven, what redrew baa his
family ? None, for no one can sue the
State. Or, if a man it condemned to Im
prisonment for au offense of which he is
innocent, what remedy hu he, if he la able
afterwaid to prove that he wu wrongfully
punished? His health, bla property, his
prospects in life may be irretrievably ruin
ed ; but there is no redress against tho
State. In both the places mentioned,
an effort is making to provide a general
law which shall give justice in these occa
sional cases. There is an old precedent
for it. Parliament voted i5,000 to each ol
the nine member, imprisoned illegally in
1629 by the King. 6
REA PINO THE WHIRLWIND.
The Legislature that passed the usury
law sowed the wind. They made it impos
sible for a farmer to get Georgia money;
and compelled him either to starve with
out it or accept tbe terms of the foreign
money-lending agencies. The latter nomi
nally lend for eight per cent, and eight per
cent Is all that the lender really receives,
but adding to thia what the farmer most
pay for commission for negotiaUng tbe
loan, it Is about sixteen per cent. It the
taw allowed, he could borrow it for ten or
twelve percent, from homo capitalist*—
from some wri-Ito-do neighbor wbo would
not in a veer of half crop sell a man and
his family out from under their root. But,
ot course, the foreign lenders look at the
matter u "strictly business.” They have
no bowels of compassion. As soon as de
fault of payment ia made, the United
Slate* marshal appears at the debtor'*
door. In a year or *o: when moat of these
loans mature, we shall see wholesale evic
tion!. which in their accompanying dia-
tress will remind us of Ireland. Many of
tha caaea brought by theae agencies in tbe
United States courts might be remanded
to the State tribunals, but tbis would hard
ly change the final result.
“colonel."
One of the wholesome signs of tbe times
the formation of the “Society
for the Homicide of Colonels." Each
member ia pledged* to carry a dead
ly weapon, and shoot in his tracks
evenr man that calls him “Colonel.” As
the lawyers are tbe greatest sufferers from
tbia absurd fashion, they are joining the
society in large numbers. The highest
tribute paid to the late Benjamin H. Hill
was the fact thst he was simply called Mr.
Hill. There was a sort of unconscious
perception that it would belittle him to
itvle him Colonel, "by courtesy,” to-called.
Of couse, It is a rare thing for a lawyer lo
possess that degree of greatness which of
Itself prevents people from attempting to
make him ridiculous by coloncline him,
and hence it has been found absolutely
necessary to form a homicidal league in
order to win back the honorable title of
Mister.

3. The worma found in chestnuts have
burrowed deeper than usual, and cran

The Supreme Court ot MueacbuseUthss
just pasted upon an interesting question
relating to wills made by women. It ts [a
settled rule of the common law that tbe
marriage of a woman revokes a will made
by ber when single, In Massachusetts,**
In man; other States, thla rule has been
adopted by etatute, bnt since the enact
ment of the atatate testamentary capacity
has been conferred upon married women
by tbe Legislature. In tbe case. In that
State it waa contended that the legal ef
fect of enabling a married woman to mako
a will must be to confirm a will executed
by her before marriage. The Supreme
Court, however, did not accept this theory.
It held that marriage revokes the will not
withstanding the testamentary capacity of
a marrieil woman. This view of the law
has also been taken by the highest court I
of thla Ftato, whose statutes on thla sub
ject aro similar to those of Massachusette.
