of them were torn from the trucks,
however, and badly smashed up.
No one was seriously hurt in the
wreck, but Mail Agent Hutchens had
a narrow escape. He was thrown
across a bar of iron that Is used to

was badly wrenched. He fainted from

Mr. N. S. Harris, of Macon, was on

the injuries of any of the men will
amount to a great deal, however.
This is the second passenger trajn
on the Wrightsvilie and Tennllle road
that has been wrecked in a week. The
road has heretofore been free from

VALDOSTA’S Lfi
TRAFFIC TAHD
VALDOSTA, Ga.. Alarch C.—Today has
been the most exciting day or the prohi
bition campaign in this city, and it ended
after night in another victory for the
antis. The matter was to come before
Council this afternon for action, and after
the regular business was attended to. the
prohibition question, or rather, an ordi
nance revoking the saloon license came
up. Lawyers were on hand for both sides,
but with that exception the meeting was
not open to the public. Quite a good deal
of time was devoted to discussing the
matter, and finally a motion to adjourn
was made before the vote was taken.
Tho vote resulted in a tie. which was
broken by Alayor Roberts. During the
meeting, it is said, that Mayor Roberts
made a speech in which he was severe
in his criticism of the actions of some
of the “pro'nis.”
Two weeks ago one of the ministers
called an unoffelal meeting of the Council
and undertook to tic up the Council by a
pledge. It is believed that Mayor Rob
erts felt stung by being ignored at that
time, and he did not fail to express him-
j self this afternoon.
A unique feature of the contest is that
yesterday after Judge Speer’s refusal to
issue a temporary restraining order, Judge
Robert Mitchell, of the Superior Court,
signed such an order at the instance of
Attorney Nottingham. When the news
reached the city. Revs. Christie and For
rester jumned on a midnight train and
hurried to Thomaaville waking the Judge
up and getting a reversal of the order
from him. However, the action of the
Council this afternoon in refusing to act
upon this matter, made both orders un
necessary.
It looks more and more like an election
will be required to settle the question
here, as there is a large element on both
sides who do not care to have the law I
forced upon them without an expression j
of tho people. i

Chief Justice of the State Supreme
Court died at Ills home here at. 6:45
o’clock this morning after a long Ill
ness from Bright’s disease. His wife
and children were at his bedside when
tho end cume.
Judge Bleckley was seriously ill
several weeks ago and it was thought
then he would not survive, but he
apparently recovered and seemed for
a time almost well. Another attack
came and though he rallied some
what, this finally proved fatal.
Ex-Chief Justice Logan E. Bleck
ley was, perhaps, the most Interest
ing figure in Georgia’s judicial his
tory. His service on the Supremo
Court bench was remarkable in many
respects, and his decisions have been
frequently quoted and commented
upon.
Judge Bleckley is survived by his
present wife, who was Miss Clorio
Herrin, of New York, and four chil
dren by her. Edwin, Barnell. Herrin
and Sidney. By his first wife who was
AIIss Carolina Haralson, of Newton

Judge Bleckley was born in Rabun

of age he went to work In his fath
er’s office. His father was' at that
time clerk of three courts, Superior,
Inferior and Court of Ordinary. At
17 years of age he began the study of
law by borrowing a copy of Bliu-lc-
stono and was admitted to practice
when 19. He then moved to Atlanta
and accepted a position as bookkeeper
for the State road where he remained
for four years. After four years in
the railroad service he accepted a po
sition as ’ one of the Governor’s sec
retaries and went to Milleidgeville,
which was then the State capital. In
1852 he returned to Atlanta and re
sumed the practice of law. being ap
pointed the following year Solicitor-

In 1857 that he married Miss Cnro-
lino Haralson. His second mar
riage took place some 15 years ago.
Judge Bleckley served as a private in
the Confederate army, but owing to
poor health, was obliged to ask for
his discharge before the close of the
war. In 1864 he was appointed re
porter of the Suprehie Court, but after
a couple of years left that work and
resumed his law practice. In 1875
Judge Bleckley was appointed to the
Supreme Court bench, but retired in
1880, as he expressed it. “worn down
and tired out." In 1887 upon the
death of Justice Jackson Judge
Bleckley was appointed Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, being
subsequently elected by the Legisla
ture, a position which he held for 10
years, tendering his resignation for
the purpose of leading a retired life.
Since his retirement from the Su
preme Court bench Judge Bleckley has
lived a • retired life In the mountains
of northeast Georgia, where he owned
considerable properly. including
Screamer Mountain, in Rabun County,
upon which ho lived for some 'years
until his home there was burned, when
he moved to Clarksville in Haber
sham.
Not many years ago Judge Bleckley,
then past “Pier 70,”' matriculated as
a student at the State University
where he went particulatry for the
purpose of studying mathematics, ire
was then at work upon a book on A’al-
ues. He has written a number of
poems and works if interest and has
also won reputation as a lecturer. It
was as a Supreme Court justice that
he was best known and many of his
decisions have an interest and a sig
nificance aside from their mere l'gai
value.
The body of Judge Bleckley was
brought to Atlanta tonight at 9 o’clock
