In this connection, the following
newspaper account. describing the
scene in Milledgeville attending the
passage of the ordinance of secession,
may be read with interest, especially
In view of the celebration which is
to be held In the old capltol next week:
"There was an exultant shout, and
men breathed freer and looked nobler,
and felt more like freemen who had
burst the shackles that had enslaved
them for years. From the hall of the
House of Representatives the momen
tous event soon reached the vast and
excited multitude outside, who had
cede. The people shouted, the bells
were rung, the cannon roared, the city
was Illuminated, and great was the
rejoicing.”
The ordinance of secession was
passed after a prolonged contest, by
the vote of 208 yeas to 89 nays. Among
those who voted against the ordinance
were Aleck and Linton Stephens.

ticket. John R. Baggett being defeated
by 156 votes for Mayor, out of a total vote
polled of 499.
The hottest municipal campaign In the
history of Dublin came to a close with
the election today. Last night both fac
tions held rallies. The Phllllos support
ers used the Chautauqua Auditorium and
the Citizens’ League the court auditori
um. Both sides were addressed by speak
ers until a late hour. For the first time
in the history of Dublin, politloal organi
sations figured in a municipal campaign,
and for the first time public speaking
was indulged in. Some weeks ago the
Citizens’ League was organized. The fol
lowing platform was promulgated by that
organization:
Election of Board of Education by the
people: election of tax assessors by the
peoDle: a commission to handle the light
and fra ter plant: a publication monthly of
the receipts and expenditures of the city;
against ring rule in politics.
On this platform the following ticket
was named: For Mayor. John R. Bag
gett; Councilmen. First Ward. J. J. Wea
ver: Second Ward. J. H. Lord; Third
Ward. W. O. Ogham; Fourth Ward, B. M.
Grier.
Previously, there had been placed in the
field the following ticket, which had the
banking ‘of the administration:
For Mayor. W. S. Phillips: Councilmen,
First Ward Will B. Outler: Second Ward,
Charles S. Rowe; Third Ward. G. H. Wil
liams; Fourth Ward, J. R. Broadhurst.
The administration, or Phillips, ticket
placed in the field the following candi
dates for city executive committeemen:
First Ward, 0. G. Sparks; Second Ward,
J. M. Finn; Third Ward. W. L. Mason:
Fourth Ward. L. Q. Stubbs.
The Citizens’ League endorsed the can-
didac” of Messrs. Finn and Stubbs and
placed Mr. W. R. Hudson in the race for
city executive committeeman from the
First Ward, and Mr. J. W. Carter in the
Fourth Ward.
The Phillies ticket announced its oppo
sition to the planks in the Citizens’
Len ue platform, pledged itself to good
government, and the fight was on
The candidates elected today will serve
for two years. Next year the terms of
office of the three Aldermen from the
city at large will expire, and then three
men will be elected to serve for two
years. By this manner of electing the
Mayor and Aldermen, the city is alwovs
sure of having experienced men in office.

Gen Meade was actively engaged
with Gen. Grant In Grant’s advance j
upon Richmond, and In the military
movements before Petersburg. On ac- |
count of these services Meade was
promoted to the rank of major-general
on the recommendation of Gen. Grant.
Gen. Grant wroto ns follows: “Gen.
Meade was appointed at my solicita
tion, after a campaign tho most pro
tracted, and covering more severely
contested battles than any of which wo
have nnv account tn history. I have
been with Gen. Meade during the
whole campaign, and not only made

SALISBURG, N. C., May 23.—-A
bright picture of the opportunities of
the negro race was drawn today by
Booker T. Washington, principal of
Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Insti
tute, who addressed an audience of
3.000 people, 400 of whom were whites,
at the Livingston College commence
ment exercises.
“I believe.” said "yvashington, "that
while the world may pity a crying,
whining ‘race it seldom respects it.
Let conservative progress be the dom
inant note among us in every section
of America. Let us not make the mis
take of keeping the dark and disap
pointing side of life before the youth of
our race. Just now what the race
wants is not a vision of' despair, but a
vision of triumph; not a picture of op
pression. but an inspiration to over
come difficulties. The race is not los
ing friends in America, nor will it do
so, as long as we continue to prove
ourselves worthy. We must frankly
face the fact that the great body of
people are to dwell in the South'and
any policy that does not seek to har
monize the two races and cement them
is unwise and dangerous. The negro,
the Irishman, the Jew. the German, the
Italian, residing in the North and
West, put forth every effort to culti
vate and raise the friendship of their
neighbors, and the. negro in the South
should pursue the same policy.
“The indiscriminate condemnation of
all white people on the part of any
member of our race is a suicidal and
dangerous policy. We must learn to
discriminate. We have strong friends,
both in the South and the North, and
we should emphasize and magnify the
efforts of our friends more than that
of those who wish us evil.
“We are making tremendous pro
gress materially, educationally, moral
ly and religiously. We own today,
mainly in the South, an acregae that
is equal to the combined acreage of
the kingdoms of Belgium and Holland.
Dc-rit be afraid to face difficulties. For
myself I would not care to live In an
age where there was no weak portion
of the human race to be helped and
lifted up. I would not care to live in
an age where there was no serious,
hard and perplexing problems to be
met and solved.”
WASHINGTON. May 23.—The Pres

MURPHY AND SUMMERS'
HARD FOUGHT BATTLE.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 23.—
Tommy Murphy, of New York, and
John Summers, of England, fought one
of the hardest six round battles ever
witnessed in this city at the National
Athletic Club tonight. It was Sum
mers’ first appearance in the ring In
th s country and he made an excellent
impression. In the first round he drop
ped Murphy with a right to the jaw
and in the second round the Harlem
fighter was floored twice, and only the
over-anxiety of Summer to stop Mur
phy saved the latter from taking the
count. Murphy grew stronger as the
fight progressed and more than held
his own in the third, fourth and fifth
rounds, while the sixth was about
even.
Murphy’s stomach punches had the
Englishman tired at the end of the
battle.
A fire of mysterious origin almost
destroyed two buildings on Fourth
street yesterday and attacked a third.
It was about 2:2G p. m. that Leo
McLendon reading in tho rear of liis
store. 1304 Fourth street, heard an ex
plosion, something like a pistol shot In
the store, and on looking around saw
flames eating into the partition that
divides his store from that of J. T. &
C. P. Long, corner Fourth and Hazel
streets.
His first thought was to telephone
the alarm Into headquarters, and ho
went to the telephone for the purpose,
but the store was then so full of smoke
that ho had to leave. He ran into
Long’s storo and sent in the alarm.
Before the department could reach
the scene, the fire had gone through
the partition and was getting on the
roof of Long's store, a two-story build
ing, and had begun on a house below
the storo on Hazel street.
The department could only stop the
spread of the flames, the fire having
gotten too great a headway before the
alarm could be turned in.
The Messrs. Long saved some of
their goods, including several barrels
of whisky. They have not yet figured
up their loss, which is covered by in
surance. They owned the building oc
cupied by them as well as that occu
pied by Mr. McLendon.
Mr. McLendon could save but llttle.i
He was in his shirt sleeves when tha'
fire occurred and could not save even"
his coat. His loss is considerable, but
covered by insurance.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
There was no fire of any kind in the
store, and the only theory is that pos
sibly it was caused by rats and
matches.
COURT CHECKED ROW
A Narrow Escape.
G. W. Cloyd, a merchant, of Plunk,
Mo., had a narrow escape four years
ago, when he ran a jirr.son bur Into
his thumb. He says: "The doctor
wanted to amputate it, but I would not
consent. I bought a box of Bucklen’s
Arnica Salve and that cured the dan-
erous wound." 25c at all druggists.
BOISE. Idaho, May 23.—The net re
sults of this, the tenth day of the Hay
wood trial, were the partial weeding
out of the talesmen of the second spe
cial venire entitled to statutory exemp
tion and the partial qualification of one
juror. The examination of tile venire
has not proceeded very far, but it
shows that tho interest in tho Steun-
enbery murder is. by natural process,
disqualifying many citizens for jury
■service in ”.te case and indicates that
the publicity given to exe.mination of
talesmen has widely increased popu
lar knowledge of the means of artisti
cally avoiding Jury service.
Early in ti-.e examination Ciarence
Darrow, for the defense, asserted that
Jas. H. Hawley, of the State, was
seeking to lead talesmen to unqualifi-
catlon by Improper questioning. Judge
Wood overruled his objection, but ho
continued to address the court. Mr.
Hawley bristled and for a few mo
ments there was a promi't of a scrim
mage, but the court checked the in
cipient TOW.
