VETERANS AND CIVILIANS GATHER IN GREAT NUMBERS TO DO HON
OR TO THE MAGNANIMOUS WARRIOR WHO LOVED PEACE.
EULOGIZED BZ PRESIDENT M’KINLEY-1 WREATH FROM GEN. GORDON.
Sons of Confederate Veterans In Line and Were the Recipients of Hearty Cheers.
Most Elaborate Pageant on Land and Sea the Country Has Ever Witnessed.
Brief Description of the Imposing Mausoleum.
The seventy-fith anniversary of the
■yi-th curred.Iast of Ulysses Tuesday,the S. Grant, 27th,was which made oo
memorable by the dedication of the
magnificent mausoleum erected to his
memory on Riverside drive, New
York.
An elaborate program bad been ar¬
ranged. The high officials of the states
and the nations participated. On land
there was a big procession of both mar¬
tial and civic bodies. On the water
there was a naval demonstration which
was even more interesting and spec¬
tacular. The men most prominent in
the affairs of today as well as those
survivors of the silent leader who were
in the forefront when he was winning
fame and honor were present to pay
him spoken tribute.
It was an occasion more of triumph¬
ant eulogy and national pride than of
funeral rite, for in these twelve years
since the nation mourned for Grant
the keenness of grief has worn away,
and in its place there lives in the
hearts of men that hero-worship which
found such tumultuous vent in the
day’s observances. dedication
The ceremonies began at
sunrise when from the tall flagpole
near the tomb was flung an immense
American flag, furnished by the
Daughters of the Devolution. At the
same time the marines on the warships
were taken from their quarters and
landed on the shores of the island to
be placed at the head of the land
column.
The President Arrives.
Loud shouts aunounced the arrival
of the president at 9:20. He rode in a
carriage with General Porter and
Mayor Strong. His reception was
flattering in the extreme and he bowed
repeatedly. Vice President Hobart
joined the president and General Por
ter and the mayor, and the open ba
rouciie in which they were seated drew
up in the center of the plaza, where it
took its place at the head of the line.
. Next came the diplomats, the Grant
family, the cabinet officers and others.
The Grants left the hotel 15 minutes
after the president’s party. Mrs. Grant
leaned on the arm of her son,
Fred D. Grant, and others of tho
family followed. Altogether they oc
cupied eight carriages.
By 9:30 o’clock the procession was
on the move
Mrs. Grant and her family to the
third generation were objects of es
pedal attention aud the widow of the
general was visibly affected by the
demonstration.
The unbroken line of humanity six
miles long was an inspiring sight,
The arrival of the official portion of
the procession at the tomb was
signal for a most stupendous outburst
of patriotic cheering from the
people in the grand stands and on the
lawns around the monument and on;
Claremont heights, The president
and other guests alighted from their
carriages at the monument stand and
took the places assigned for them in
readiness for tho oratorical and mn
sical ceremonies.

Sons of Confederate Veterans—youths
whose sires “took their horses home
with them” at the mandate of the
great general iu whose honor the
march w as made.
But the enthusiasm reached its cli¬
max when the division led by Major
General O. O. Howard marched into
view. The old veterans were given
the greatest honor of all the marchers.
A committee of Confederate veter¬
ans, who wero to arrive at the tomb at
9 o’clock and place a wreath on the
sarcophagus, were an hour late. They
were headed by James R. Branch, com¬
mander-in-chief of the Confederate vet
erans.

Tokens were reverently laid on the
sarcophagus by General John B. Gor¬
do i, of Georgia, while his comrades

It was precisely 10:39 o’clock when

vice president, the members of Grant’s
family and other representatives filed
into the grand stand.
On the Speaker’s Stand.
At 11:04 o’clock President McKinley
entered tho speaker’s stand and was
followed by the others who were to
participate in the ceremonies. The
president was loudly cheered as was

Three Highwaymen Make Unsuccessful
Attcmp at “Hold Up.”
At Hardaway, about eight miles
south of Albany, Ga., Tuesday night
at 9 o’clock, three negroes attempted
to hold up four white men and a negro
in the store of F. F. Putney & Co.
A number of shots were exchanged
and the negro porter, Bill Brass, was
killed. The robbers escaped unhurt,
but without booty of any sort.

peared with ex-Secretary Tracy.
The exercises commenced with the
singing of “America.” A solemn sil¬
ence then fell on the dense crowd as
the venerable Bishop John P. New¬
man invoked the blessing of heaven on
the ceremonies.
Another mighty cheer arose as Pres¬
ident McKinley, after the singing of
the hymn, moved to the railing of the
speakers’ stand to deliver his address.
He was introduced by Mayor Strong,
and spoke in part as follow:
The President** Address.
“A great life never dies. Great deeds are
imperishable; great names immortal. Gen¬
eral Grant’s services and character will
continue undiminished in influence and ad¬
vance ia the estimation of mankind so long
as liberty remains the cornerstone of free
government and integrity of life tho guar¬
antee of good citizenship.
“Faithful and fearless as a volunteer sol¬
dier, intrepid and invincible as commander
in-chief of the armies of the Union, cairn
and confident as president of a reunited and
strengthened nation which his genius had
been instrumental in achieving, be has our
homage and that of the world; but brilliant
as was his public character, we love him all
tho more for his home-life and homely vir¬
tues. His individuality, his bearing and
speech, his simple ways, had a savor of
rare and unique distinction; his American¬
ism was so true and uncompromising that
his name will stand for all time as the em¬
bodiment of liberty, loyalty and national
"Victorious in tho work which by tho di¬

clothed with almost limitless power, he was
yet one of the peoplo. Patient, patriotic
and just. Success did not disturb the even
balance of his mind, wllilo fame was power¬
less to swerve him from the path of duty.
Great as he was in war, he loved peace, aud
told the world that honorahio arbitration of
differences was the best hope of civilization.

has an exalted place in history, and the

STATESBORO, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1897.
BANKRUPTCY MADE EASY.
The Nelson BUI Which Tawed the Senate
a Simple Measure.
The bankruptcy bill passed by the
senate Thursday was framed by Sena¬
tor Nelson, of Minnesota, and is very
brief and simple, compared with the
bill reported from the judiciary com
mitte, known as the Torrey bill.
The Nelson bill provides corporation that owing any
debtor other than a
8200 or more, who is unable to pay
his debts, may file his petition in tho
district court of the United States for
the district or division thereof in
which ho resides, asking for a dis¬
charge from his debts, aud offering to
surrendor all his property for the pay¬
ment of his debts, except such as is
exempt by the law of his domicile from
execution and liability for debts.
The provision as to involuntary
bankruptcy is as follows:
“That if any debtor being a banker,
broker, merchant, trader or manu¬
facturer who owes $500 or over and
who is unable to pay his debts shall at
any time within four months of the
time of the filing of the petition here¬
inafter mentioned, assign, transfer or
defraud any of his creditors, he shall
be deemed a bankrupt, and may be
poceeded against in a court of bank¬
ruptcy as hereinafter provided. A
credito# or creditors having debts
against such a bankrupt to the amount
of 8500 or more, may, within four
months after the act of bankruptcy
has been committed, file in the court
of bankruptcy in the district in which
the bankrupt resides, petition, under
oath, setting forth, among other
things, the acts of bankruptcy afore¬
said, and praying for an adjudication
of bankruptcy against the bankrupt
and the distribution of his estate
among his creditors. ”
Sympathy for Greece.
The first reference in congress to
the Turko-Greeian war came soon af¬
ter the senate opened Thursday, when
Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, introduced
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the established policy of
the United States of avoiding entangling
alliance with the European powers is in no
respect violated by our sympathizing with
the Christian people of Greeoe in their
present heroic struggle against the advance¬
ment of the Ottoman empire; and that, in
the judgment of the senate, it would bo a
recognition of the wishes of ail, for the
executive to express to the government of
Greece the sympathy of the American peo¬
ple.”
Mr. Allen supported the resolution
by citing precedents in which the
United States had expressed sympathy
for those struggling against oppres¬
sion. He also read from manuscript
a detailed statement of the affairs of
Crete from early times.
At the request of Chairman Davis,
of the foreign relations committee, the
Allen resolution was referred to the
foreign relations committee, Mr. Davis
promising speedy action.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, made
a sensational speech against the disor¬
ganized condition of, the senate and
house committees, and declared that
the speaker of the house, who was
called “The Great White Czar, ” should
be known hereafter as the “Great
White Filibuster.”
CONGRESSMAN HOLMAN DEAD.
For Many Years a Member of the House of
Representatives,
Representative Holman, of Indiana,
who has been ill at his home in Wash¬
ington with spinal meningetis, died
Thursday afternoon.
Hon. W. 8. Holman was born in
Dearborn county, Indiana, September
6, 1822. He -was judge of the court of
common pleas from 1852 till 1850, was
then elected to congress as a democrat
and has been nominated successively
since, suffering only three defeats, in
1874, 1876 and 1878, aud serving with
those exceptions from 1859 to the
present time.
He has been an uncompromising en¬
emy of trickery and won tho name of
the “Great Objector” from his fear¬
lessness in opposing doubtful meas¬
ures and the schemes of lobbyists.
Perhaps no man in either branch of
the national congress wx i better versed
iu statutes.
GEORGIA EPWORTH LEAGUERS

PETTIGREW CHARGES FRAUD.
Files a Salty Minority Report on Terri no
Land Grant Case.
Senator Pettigrew has filed a minor¬
ity report on the result of the investi
gytion of the Perrine land grant in
Florida, conducted during the last
session.
He takes issue with the majority
and contends that it Is the duty of
congress to declare the grant forfeited
and of the executive department to
cancel the patents and punish the of¬
fenders.
The report all expresses the opinion
that “there is both fraud and mistake
of fact of the officers of the govern¬
ment in issuing the patents.”
BIG TRUST QUITS BUSINESS.

Twenty-four members of the Na¬
tional Manufacturing company, com¬
monly known as the sash, door and
blind trust,held a meeting in Oshkosh,

ities have restricted the operations of
the organization to such an extent
that it was decided to discontinue op¬

MORE LEVEES BREAK AND DROWN
INGS RESULT.
FLOOD SITUATION IS VERY GRAVE.
Farmer* Camping On the Hills—Death
and Destitution Being Caused by the
Raging Waters.
A St. Louis special of Tuesday states
that the flood situation throughout the
neighboring Mississippi and Missouri
river territory is one of gravest dan¬
ger. At several points the swollen
streams have overlapped their banks
and burst through the levees. Already
several lives have been lost and many
people are imperiled by tho rapidly
rising waters.
Thousands of acres of farm lands on
both the Illinois aud Missouri sides of
the Mississippi river have been inun¬
dated, or will be soon. Stock has been
drowned and crops destroyed. Accord¬
ing to the weather bureau, both rivers
will continue to rise.
While Joseph Johnson, William
Dalton, Minnie Frazier, Mrs. Ida
Bugg and her two small children were
attempting to ford a swollen stream in
a wagon at Jackson, Mo., the vehicle
was overturned and the women and
children were drowned.
The Hunt levee, which protected
the Hunt drainage district on the
Illinois side below Warsaw, broke
during the day, sending the Mississ¬
ippi river over one of the most fertile
regions in the valley. The wildest
excitement prevails, for fully 80,000
acres of land and hundreds of homes
will be under water as a result. The
lowest part of the district is just below
the bluff, seven miles back of the
levee, and the water is making
straight for the hills.
A territory thirteen miles long by
seven miles wide will be coverod with
water. Couriers were sent on horse¬
back to the houses back in the district
and a scene of disorder and fright ev¬
erywhere prevailed. Home were un¬
able to save anything and barely feared es¬
caped with their lives. It is
that some have been caught and sur¬
rounded by the flood.
The levee was covered all day Tues¬
day by the farmers and their wives,
hurrying their children and their live
stock to places of safety. Many are
now camped out on the hills with ab¬
solutely nothing left.
SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
New Industries Established in the South
During: the Past Week.
Southern correspondents report in¬
creased activity in industrial gnd mer¬
cantile circles, except in the flooded
districts, where business is still some¬
what unsettled.
As to iron and steel, no material
change is visible. The iron output in
the east is being increased, but pieces
are not any better aud the demand
does not yet equal the supply. In
southern iron prices are still irregular,
but the movement is fairly active and
there is a noticeable increase ia the
number of inquiries received, The
demand for export is moderately good.
The lumber trade shows consider¬
able imprflvement and southern mill
men report more activity than for sev¬
eral months. Prices are still low,how¬
ever. The export situation is good
and prices are being steadily main¬
tained.
The following are among the most
important new industries established
the past week: The Leatherwood
Coal and Lumber Co., capital $100,
000, Clendennin, W. Va.; cotton com¬
press to cost 8100,000 at Little Rock,
Ark.; the Elba Improvement Co., cap¬
ital 8172,000, Elba, Ala.; the Edison
Electric Illuminating Co., capital
$100,000, Savannah, Ga.; a 75-barrel
flouring mill at Sanger, Tex.; a 100,
000-busliel grain elevator at New

NORFOLK HANK FAILURE.
The Assets Overbalance the Liabilities
and the Bail It Will l’ay Out.
Business circles at Norfolk, A a.,
were startled Tuesday by the news of
the assignment of N. Burruss, Son &
Co., one of the most prominent and
widely known banking firms in the
south.
A deed was filed transferring to
Judge Theodore S. Garnett, assignee,
all properties held by Captain Burrus
individually or as a firm to secure
creditors.
The liabilities amount to between
$340,000 and $350,000, and the assets
act* stated by the firm to be $400,000
available, with nominal assets much
more. a
ONLY A FORMAL BALLOT.

The book commission, recently ap¬
pointed by Governor Atkinson by au¬
thority of an act passed at tho last

with much interest, as a commission
has in charge a work that will affect
the entire public school system of
Georgia.
Tlie third annual convention of tho
Georgia division of the Travelers’
Protective Association of America met
in Atlanta, elected its officers, ad¬
journed, banqueted and the delegates
left for their homes Sunday morning.
Mr. E. E. Smith, ex-chairman of the
state railroad committee and chairman

The Epworth League convention ad¬
journed at Atlanta last Sunday night,
after a highly successful and. enter¬
taining meeting. The following offi¬
cers were elected for the ensuing year:
Pres dent, Mr. Loon Smith, of La
Grange; first vice president, J. E. Mc¬

The great council of Georgia Im¬
proved Order of Red Men will assem¬
ble in Atlanta May 11th and hold their
pow-wows. The business of the coun¬
cil will he rushed and the Red Men
will leave Atlanta on the night of the
11th and go to Nashville to see the big
exposition and to participate in the
celebration of St. Tamina’s day by the
Red Men of Tennessee. Preparations
are being made by the Atlanta Red
Men to receive and entertain the dele¬
gates and visitors to the great council
and the men of the whoop and scalp
will he royally eared for during their
Atlanta war dances.
It is very probable that the general
assembly will be asked to enact a law
changing the present system of justice
court procedure, at least so far as it
applies to Fulton county. There is
at present a strong movement working
in opposition to the old custom and it
looks as if a war to the death is to be
waged on the old system. It is charged
Unit the practices of someof the courts
iu the county are irregular, question¬
able and at variance with a good sys¬
tem of government. It is claimed that
there has grown up a belief that the
courts are being used for wrongful and
improper purposes and that they are
fast becoming sources of evil instead
of temples of justice.
The Northeastern railroad will soon
be placed upon the market to be sold
to the highest bidder. Governor At¬
kinson will be the autioneer and the
property w ill be sold under the special
act of the legislature which was pass¬
ed last fall. Wli&n the legislature
took action in the matter the governor
was authorized to make the sale within
six months from that time, the limit
expiring on June 24th. The minimum
price named in the bill was $287,000,
which is at the rate of about $7,000
per mile, the road being a little more
than forty miles in length. Upon the
Bale of the Northeastern hinges a num¬
ber of very important things which
have been contemplated for quite
awhile. Tho road, when sold, will
probably be bought in for the purpose
of extending it and developing the
country through which the proposed
line has been surveyed.
Secretary of State, Allen I). Candler,
has received a letter w hich brings to
light a gigantic land fraud perpertrated
100 years ago. There was a forged
grant of 60,000 acres in Laurens
county and heirs of claimants to some
of this land under the forged title are
trying to sell it in New York. John
Davis, a lawyer of New York, writes
the secretary of state that persons
there are trying to sell a client of his
5,000 acres in Laurens county on a
title derived from a grant to George
Nayier on January 5th, 1795. The
grant purports to have been made to
George Nayier by the governor of
Georgia, and the endorsement states
that it is recorded in book I, page 625.
Secretary Candler turned to book I,
page 625 and found a grant of 250
acres by George the Third, through
James Habersham, president of the
council, to Isaac Ford. The date is
not 1795 but 1774, 20 years before,
when Georgia had no governor. The
alleged grant to Nayier is therefore a
palpable forgery.

There Was a Time When Banking in Ar¬
kansas Was Exciting.
Banking in the southern part of Ar¬
kansas was a hazardous business in the
early days, and in some of the towns,
where there are no railway connections,
it is so still.
“When wu borrowed money for our
bank,” said a banker to a representa¬
tive of the F’ree Press with whom he
was talking’over old times, “I used to
go to the neighboring town and get the
gold Then I had to carry I by stage
over the mountains to our place. Of
course, I took mighty good care that
nobody should know, if I could help it
just when I was to make these trips,
I also kept It as secret as possible what
my reasons were for going to tho other
town, talking about mortgages, invest
ments, business matters and everything
except transporting gold.
“At first 1 would take the bag of gold,
Just as It was given to me at the bank,
put It on the seat of the stage, place
a rug over it and use it for a pillow,
endeavoring to snatch a sleep during
that long night ride. One day some¬
how I got nervous. I gue38 it was that
mysterious sixth sense some peoplo
talk about that worried me. Anyhow,
I was just trembling all over when I
thought of the journey and the gold.
I never felt the least bit apprehensive
before. So I went to the grocer’s and
bought a hag of flour, poured out a
portion of tho contents and put the bag
of gold welt into the center of the bag
of flour.
“The stage rattled off and I used my
bag of flour for a pillow. I dozed off
a bit, I guess, and was rudely awakened
by the horses being jerked up. The
next moment »ve—there were two other
passengers—-heard that dreaded:
” -Hands up.’ j
“We rtklrt't hesitate and up went our
arm3. They went through us all and :
got several dollars and a couple of
watches. Then they examined the
grips and looked at the bag. I trem¬
bled as they opened it and the flour
poured out. To my joy they did not
ex*rninn my hag further. Finally they
departed, anil I tied up my bag with
feelings of profound gratitude, for had
they taken the gold I would have been
financially ruined.
“ ‘You’ve lost some of your flour,
mister,’ said one of the passengers.
“ ‘Yes,’ I said, out they loft tho most
valuable flour in the bag.’
“And truly they left $15,009 in coin.
That was the nearest I came to going j
under in tho old banking days. But ’
for iny unaccountable nervousness,; |
caused by premonition, or whatever you
may call it, which led to the little de
vice of the flour bag, the robbers would
have reaped an unexpected harvest.
How to Sleep.
Better sleep can be obtained with a j
lovt than with a high pillow. To less¬
en the work of the arteries that propel
the blood to every portion of the rt*
ganism should be the aim of every one.
so that the posture that most nearly
places the body in a horizontal position
is the mo3t to be desired. Bolstering
up the head is always to be condemned,
whether in sickness or in health, un¬
less bodily injuries render the perfectly
recumbent position impossible. It is
not well to lie always on the back; by
this practice the spine and the nerves
that there congregate arc kept too hot
and a feverish sleep is apt to be the
result. The right side is the best to
recline on, for then relived the heart from and undue the- j j
larger arteries are |
pressure. Occasionally one rests well
lying on the stomach. As a general
rule, eight hours is ample for a person
in hoalih; more produces a dull, heavy
feeling on arising; less, an unsatisfied
craving for more. And there is also
no room for doubt that the two hours |
preceding midnight arc the most favor-;
able for enjoying the “beauty sleep” of | |
the night.

The Origin of Hail Columbia
Perhaps few people know that our
national air, “Hall, Columbia,” was ar¬
iginally called "Washington’s March”
and was played for the first time on
Trenton bridge as Washington rode
over it on his way to be Inaugurated
at New York, and during Ills adminis¬
tration It was always played on state
occasions, or whenever Washington
appeared in the box at the theater.
It was composed by Pfylea, the leader
of the few violins and drums that
passed for the orchestra, The air
had a sort of martial ring that caught
the ear of the multitude and soon be¬
came very popular. When Adams
was president, in a moment of great
party excitement, Judge Hopklnson
wroto and adapted to the music the
famous lines “Hail, Columbia.”
■Thenceforth It ceased to he known as
"Washington’s March,” ami under its
present name became the most stir
ring of naXlonaJ airs.
