REUNION OF VETERANS
AT STATESBORO
Camp j. S. Cone, U. C. V., Holds Enjoyable Meet
ing—Addresses by Gen. Gordon and Col. Lester.
Statesboro, Ga. t July 2.—The second
reunion of Camp, J. S. Cone, U. C. V.,
took place here to-day under very
favorable circumstances. The reunion
was as nearly a duplicate of the one
held last year as could be imagined,
with a few exceptions. It was largely
a barbecue last year, but on this oc
casion the dinner was a basket picnic,
Statesboro furnishing immense quan
tities of bread, hams, beef, mutton,
etc. Everybody got plenty to eat and
enjoyed the day very much.
Gen. W. W. Gordon and Hon. Ru
fus E. Lester, both of Savannah, were
the orators of the day. Though neither
cante expecting to be called upon, bolh
responded with excellent speeches that
were cheered roundly by the great
throng. The veterans met in the Court
House at 11 o’clock and registered and
received badges. Maj. Cone then form
ed them in column Of platoons and
marched them to the grounds, about 200
strong, where seats were reserved for
them. Middleton’s Band from Savan
nah led the van, playing national airs
and marches, while the old yets Waved
their hats and gave vociferous "rebel”
yells.
Col. J. A. Brannen introduced Gen.
Gordon, and as the fatter arose the old
soldiers gave him a round of three
hearty cheers. He said he found that
the most interesting reunions were
those in which no reference is made
to the bloody battles, etc., but jokes
on Yankees and fellow' comrades were
indulged in freely. After telling sev
eral stories that his audience appreci
ated highly, he said the main good
done by reunions was to let the young
er generations know for what their
fathers fought. One thing W'as es
pecially interesting, the information
that some Englishmen tried, in 1812,
to get the Northern states to secede
from the Union, and but for the break
ing out of the war with Eng
land that year this would
probably have been done. If the South
did not act within the rights of the
states, why were changes along those
very lines made in the constitution im
mediately after the war and the states
required to ratify them? The genera
tion after the war was inclined to
judge the war by its effcts. That was
not right.
Gen. Gordon then paid a high tribute
to the women of the South. He said
theirs was the harder task. At the
front men had excitement, hardships
and glory to divert them, but at home
it was constant toil, poverty, privation
and awful suspense With the brave
women who were ever expecting news
of the death of loved ones. He then
read the pathetic poem by a Savannah
woman, ‘‘Somebody’s Darling Boy.”
MISSIONARY MOVEMENT
linn a Young People'* CoiTntlon at
Chattanonna.
Chattanooga, Tenth, July 2.—The sec
ond day's session of the first annual
conference of the Young People’s Mis
sionary Movement was held this morn
ing at 9 o'clock, with Dr. W. S. Lam
bufh of Nashville, missionary secre
tary of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, presiding. Charles V.
Vickery of New York, secretary of the
Young People’s Missionary Movement,
spoke on the organization and duties
of the Missionary Committee.
There are 150 delegates reporting
from the denominations. The confer
ence will continue until July 8.
S. Earl Taylor of New' York, secre
tary of the Young People's Missionary
movement in the Methodist Episcopal
Church, occupied part of the afternoon

ary study classes, organized in the
Epworth Leagues and Christian En
deavor societies.
In the evening denominational group
meetings were held.
TARIFF TP AGAIN.
Roseberry Diaenuea It In the House
of Lords.
London, July 2.—Lord Roseberry, in
the House of Lords to-day, renewed
the debate on the preferential tariff
propositions, making a further request
for information regarding the cabinet
plans. In the course of a long speech
he ridiculed Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain’s programme and said he did
not believe the government intended to
prosecute any Inquiry into the matter.
The allegations that such an inquiry
was being made were, said Lord Rose
berry, merely a cloak to screen the ir
reconcilable differences between the
colonial secretary and the other mem
bers of the cabinet.
The Duke of Devonshire, president of
the council, said it was impossible now
to give the exact scope of the inquiry.
The government had determined that
the inquiry should be full and satis
factory. He could say tha,’ the position
of the government at present was
somewhat different from that of Mr.
Chamberlain; but they did not con
flict.
RECEIVER IN CHARGE.

New York. July 2.—Ex-Senator
James Smith, Jr„ receiver of the
Doited States Shipbuilding Company,
took formal possession of Its affairs
to-day.
“My movements to-day,” said the re
ceiver, "were made with a view to car

found it necessary to take immediate

Ha* Formed Large Financial
Connection* In the East.
New Orleans, July 2.—S. F. B. Morse,
distant passenger traffic manager of
Southern Pacific Railway, with
♦L f quarters at Houston. Tex., has
, r * and hi" resignation, to become ef
h . - ln August. He is understood to
made large financial connections
"the East. Mr. Morse left the Big
hirU r , at Buf Talo in 1894 to associate
“imseif with the Huntington lines.
Gen. Gordon was followed by Col. R.
E. Lester, who said that though he
fought through the war, this was the
first time he was ever conscripted. He
had come as a guest and not a speaker,
hut most people thought lawyers and
public men had always at command an
abundant supply of hot air. He had
noticed that as the circle of veterans
become smaller the tie of affection
grew stronger. There were no better
soldiers than those from Bulloch coun
ty, and that was' saying a good deal.
Someone had derisively remarked that
the reunions seemed to show that the
veterans increased instead of dimin
ished, and asked why Lee surrendered
if so many thousand of his soldiers
still remained. Lee would never have
surrendered had he been able to use all
of them, but more than half of them
were then disabled, as the record of
three out of five veterans bearing
wounds to-day, will prove.
The South had a right to
secede. She was a strict
constructionist, and acted within her
rights. But since she submitted her
cause to the arbitrament of arms—the
highest tribunal on earth—and lost, she
would now abide by the decision, and
now no state had a right to secede be
cause that matter was settled by a
resort to arms. He did not know what
might Come up in the future, but he
was sure the sons and daughters of
the Confederate veterans would be
able to cope with all circumstances.
Col. Lester is very popular in Bul
loch and the people are still his faith
ful friends.
The crowd was estimated last year
to be 10,000, and the one to-day was
still larger. The stores closed from 11
a. m. to 4 p. m., and many of them
were beautifully and profusely decor
ated with red, white and blue bunt
ing. Some of the more enthusiastic on
the speakers' stand were seated besides
Gen. Gordon and Col. Lester, Mayor G.
S. Johnston, Col. D. R. GrOover, Col.
J. A. Brannen, Rev. Whitley Langston
and Messrs. R. Simmons and B. T.
Outland.
Citizens decorated their homes, also
a large crowd came from the adjoining
counties to attend the celebration. Ful
ly 2,000 people came ip on the Central
and Savannah and Statesboro rail
wavs.
At 3 o'clock a large number of old
veterans and others assembled In the
Court House and listened to jokes and
stories of the war told by Gen. Gordon
and Col. Lester.
The following committees had charge
of affairs for the day:
Committee on Grounds—J. W. Wil
son. S. J. Williams, S. F. Olliff.

RICHEST OF PRINCESSES.
Wealth of Monte Citrlo Fall* In
Marie Bonaparte'* Lap.
Paris, July 2.—Persons who "keep
tab” on royalties may be interested
in the fact that Princess Marie Bona
parte, great-grandniece of Napoleon
Bonaparte and considered the richest
imperial heiress in Europe, reached
her majority to-day, having been born
July 2, 1882. Princess Marie’s mother
was the only daughter of M. Blanc,
the (founder of the famous Casino
at Monte Carlo, from, whom she in
herits a fourth share in the vast in
come derived from the gaming ta
bles.
Princess Marie’s mother died at her
birth, and her father. Prince Ro
land Bonaparte, who was descended
from Prince Lueien, the ErrfperOr’s
youngest brother, has never married
again. He is a great savant, and his
daughter shares her father’s taste, pre
siding with great charm over her fath
er's salon, where all the savants of
•the world visiting Paris are made
welcome. So far as hea- intimate frien4 a f
arfi aware Princess Marie is still heart
whole and fancy free, though it has
been rumored that a grand match is
designed for her.

Subjects of Interest to Educators
Discussed in Convention,
Asheville, N. C.\ July 2.—The South
ern Educational Association began its
second day's work with a discussion of
"Requirements in Study of English for
Admission to College,” by Prof. T. O.
Harrison of Davidson College, North
Carolina. Dr. Charles Thaoh, president
of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
read a paper on "Teaching English
Literature in Common Schools.”
Dr. Thomas Hume of the University
of North Carolina spoke of the ethical
value of literature, and emphasized the
need of its being taught in common
schools, giving as a reason therefor the
fact that only 20 per cent, of thos£
who attended common schools ever go
to college and hence receive little, if
any, instruction in English literature.
In the convention to-night the fol
lowing officers were elected for the en
suing year: President. Francis P. Ven
able of Chapel Hill, N. C.: vice presi
dent, J. W. Nicholson of Baton Rouge,
La.; treasurer, S. H. Edmunds of
Sumter, S. C.; secretary, R. J. Tighe of
Asheville. N. C.
This afternoon’s session was devoted
to a discussion of children’s libraries
in the public schools by Supt. W. W.
Barnett of Houston, Tex., and of the
social environment of the child by Miss
Minnie MeFeat of Winthrop College.
Rock Hill, S. C.
At the night session the committee
on the good of the association reported
the following resolutions:
“Resolved, That the executive com
mittee select the place for the next
meeting that will be most convenient
and most desirable; second. That a
state manager for each Southern state
be appointed by the president; third.
That these managers confer with the
authorities of the several states and
suggest to the executive committee a
time that would not conflict with other
conventions.”
These resolutions were adopted.
Prof. J. M. Staley of the Boston
School of Expression, entertained the
night session of the convention with
a rendition of Rip Van Winkle, which
was greatly enjoyed by assembled edu
cators. He rendered the most artistic
representation of Rip Van Winkle that
has ever been given in Asheville, and
after a short business session the edu
cators adjourned until to-morrow
morning.
SANITY' OF KNAPP.
That Is the Point Upon Which the
Trial Will Hinge.
Hamilton, 0., July 2.—When the
Knapp trial was resumed to-day
Charles Wenzel was called. He was a
relative of Knapp and explained that
Knapp was insane because of his ab
surd statements and peculiar conduct.
On cross-examination he said he did
not know whether or not Knapp had
a moral sense.
The witnesses who testified at the
afternoon session were from Cincin
nati, who knew Knapp about 1886, and
though each recited different details
of Knapp’s peculiar traits, their testi
mony was practically the same. All
were of the opinion that Knapp was
abnormally fond of "showing off” and
that he was insane. He associated with
young boys and was frequently doing
things to impress them. He Occasion
ally appeared in the streets in cold
weather without coat or shoes.
Knapp himself feels confident that he
will not be convicted.

TALKS OF LYNCHINGS
Lessons That Are Deduced by the Negro Leader
from Mob Law.
Louisville, Ky„ July 2.—Before an
immense audience Booker T. Washing
ton to-night delivered an address. He
said that recent regrettable events in
connection with the race question went
to show that lynch law is not confined
to any one section of the country.
These events, he said, tend to simplify
the race problem by making it nation
al. He appealed to the negro to be
calm and exercise self-control.
Among the other speakers was W.
H. Lewis, assistant district attorney of
Massachusetts, who was appointed sev
eral months ago by President Roose
velt.
Washington said in part:
“In the present season of anxiety and
almost of despair, which possesses an
element of the race, there are two
things I wish to say as strongly as I
may:
"First, let no man of the race be
come discouraged or hopeless. There
are in this country, North and South,
men who mean to see that justice is
meted out to the race. Such a man is
Judge Jones of Alabama, to whom
more credit should be given for blot
ting out the infamous system of peon
age than to anv other man.
“Second, let us keep before us the
fait that almost without exception
every race or nation that has ever got
upon its feet has done so through
struggle and trial and persecution.
“No one should seek to close his
eyes to the fact that the race is pass
ing through a very serious and trying
period of its development, a period that
calls for the use of our ripest thought
and Sober judgment.
‘Let nothing lead us into extremes
of utterance or action. It is, in the
long run, the race or the individual
that exercises the most patience, for
bearance and self-control in the midst
of trying conditions that wins its cause.
Let nothing induce use to descend to
the level of the mob.
“In advocating this policy 1 am not
asking that the negro ;lct the coward;
we are not cowards. The part we have
played in defending the flag of our
country i3 sufficient evidence of our
courage.
“The outbreaks of the mob empha
size two lessons, one for our race and
one for the other citizens of our
country, South and North, for it is to
be noted that the work of the lyncher
is not confined to one section of the
country. The lesson for us is that we
should see to it that, so far as influ
ence of parent, school or pdlpit is con
cerned, no effort be spared to impress
on our own people that idleness and
crime should cease. We should let
the World know on all proper occasions
that we consider no legal punishment
too severe for the wretch of any Pace
who attempts to outrage a woman.
“The lesson for the other portion of
the nation to learn is that both in the
making and in the execution, the same
law' should be made to apply to the ne
gro as to the white man.
“There should be meted out equal
justice to the black man and the

Progre** of Hlrf'Trial for the Mur
der of Walsh.
Pittsburg, July 2.—The court room
was crowded again to-day when the
trial of Dr. Walter P. Kountz, charged
with the murder of Contractor Walsh,
was resumed. Clarence Burleigh, at
torney for Dr. Kountz, in his address
to the jury, said the defense would
endeavor to show that Walsh threat
ened to kill the plaintiff and that he
acted first.
The defendant was the first witness.
He told how he had met his wife at Hot
Springs and married her there in 1902.
In January of 1903 they came to Pitts
burg, and in February his wife made
an arrangement for them to live In
a portion of the Walsh home. On
March 21 he went home, accompanied
by his brother and found Walsh in his
wife’s bedroom. He accused her of
infidelity.
• My wife,” said the witness, "replied;
‘AH I married you for was to work you,
and if you don’t get away I will kill
you.’ She always carried a revolver."
Continuing, the witness said:
"The following day I went back to
her to go to a hospital, as she was sick.
She said Walsh was taking better care
of her than she would get at the hos
pital. Next day my wife was
ln bed. Walsh came in and
asked what I was doing
there. He said, Margaret is my wife,
and if you don’t get out of here I will
kill you.’ He grabbed me, and I broke
away. When I got down stairs he fol
lowed me and said, "If X ever see you
around here I will kill you.’ ”
The witness described the shooting,
saying he thought Walsh was going to
fire and that he had no intention of
shooting his wife.

There were four militiamen on each

The line to Seven Pines was also

NEGROES IN A ROW.
Honker's Picture Was a Blow to the
Opposition.
Louisville, July 2. —The “Afro-Amer
ican Council" to-day elected the fol
lowing officers: President, T. T. For
tune of New York; vice presidents, W.
A. Pledger of Georgia, William H.
Steward of Kentucky, J. Q. Adams of
Minnesota, J. H. Guy of Kansas, G.
Hunt of New York, James Lewis of
Louisiana, W. H. Lewis of Massachu
setts; secretary, Cyrus F. Adams of
Chicago: corresponding secretary, Fan
nie Williams of Illinois; chaplain, L.
G. Jordan of Kentucky; treasurer, J.
W. Thompson of New York.
The election was not accomplished
until after a stormy debate of more
than an hour. There was lively objec
tion also to placing the picture of Book
er T. Washington on the stage,-but the
delegates were pacified by the bringing
out of a large painting of J. C. Price, a
Southern negro educator now dead,
and placing it beside the Booker Wash
ington canvas.
The differences arose over a factional
fight between the industrial, the higher
education and the political divisions in
the gathering, but the industrial ele
ment won.
The first sign of dissension came
when Fannie Williams of Chicago read
the report of the literary bureau, in
Which fche treated principally of Booker
Washington and his work, omitting,
however, arrv reference to a charge
that Washington is creating sentiment
against the higher education of the ne
gro.
Just as she finished reading and
Washington himself was seen to enter
the hall, a man stepped from the
wings and placed a large oil painting
Of Booker Washington on the stage.
This aroused the New England dele
gates, W. H. Farris of Boston asking
permission to Speak. President Fortune
declared, however, that the hour for
adjournment had arrived.
At the afternoon session Delegate
Ferris wanted to know why the picture
of Washington was on the platform
with a picture of Tuskegee Institute,
while there were no pictures of col
leges established by other educators
and champions of political “rights.”
He objected in a fiery speech.
President Fortune said the presence
of the picture was merely an inci
dent, it having been painted by a ne
gro woman of Louisville, and he char
acterized the discussion a* unseemly
and unfortunate. In a few minutes
one of J. C. Price, the founder of Liv
ingston College, North Carolina, was
brought out and placed Out beside the
painting of Washington.
FOR JUDAISM CREED
Motion Wa* Offered Among RnHltls
lit Dr, Margolis.
Detroit, Mich., July 2.—The feature
of to-day’s session of the Central Con
ference of American Rabbis was the
paper on the "Theological Aspect of
Modern Judaism,” by Dr. M. L. Mar
golis, professor of Semitic languages
at the University of California. At the
close of his paper, Dr. Margolis sub
mitted outlines of reformed Jewish
creed, and said:
"If, as reformed Jews, we want to
have a creed, we must and shall have
a proper ecclesiastical organization.
Let us have the synod as the keystone
of our church."
Dr. Margolis then offered a motion
that a committee he appointed to draw
up a reformed Judaism creed, and
submit it at the next conference, with
the idea of submitting it in 1905 to
some body of the Jewish church, to
be organized by that time with legis
lative bower. The motion was laid
over.

Washington, July 2.—lt is said here

presence necessary for the protection

MOSQUITOES AS PILOTS.
From the Philadelphia Pres*.
Capt. K. Rubelii, commouoie skipper
of the Standard Oil Company’s ieet,
and at present master of the huge
American tanker Col. E. L. Drake,
which was built recently at Cramps'
and Is now engaged exclusively in the
oil trade between Port Arthur, Tex.,
and this city, has discovered mosqui
toes to be the greatest safeguard to
mariners navigating the Gulf of Mexi
ca.
This well-known shipmaster, who
has no peer on the American coast, is
a serious man and seldom talks unless
It Is necessary and he has something
of value to tftiy.
Several days ago, upon his arrival
in the port of Port Arthur, from Phil
adelphia, he was approached by -ome
gentlemen interested in the prosperity
of this important oil shipping center
of Texas with a petition which he
was requested to sign. The petition
was addressed to the United States
Lighthouse Board and requested that
a light be placed on Sabine Pass Banks,
so that vessels making this character
less coast would have something to be
guided by.
After some hesitation the skipper
signified his willingness to sign the pe
tition, but at the same time said he
did not feel it was of much use. When
questioned he claimed that he had
found by long experience and observa
tion that the mosquitoes which infest
the locality always meet him on what
is known to mariners as the six-fathom
curve. When the weather is thick he
always, upon meeting the mosquitoes,
lets go his anchor and awaits a better
view of the surroundings. Capt. Ru
belii was in the city yesterday and
confirmed this report by adding that
a man guided in this manner could
not possibly get his ship ashore enter
ing Sabine Pass en route to Port Ar
thur.
Shipmasters who have navigated the
globe are all as a unit In the belief
that the mosquito epidemic at Port
Arthur is the worst they ever ex
perienced. They come down upon the
city in swarms, and it is absolutely im
possible to live on board vessels in
that harbor. Every shipmaster trad
ing there forsakes his vessel and lives
In a hotel. Even the cattle grazing
have to be covered with netting. Every
experiment to rid the place of the
plague has failed. The lands about
them have been sprinkled with petro
leum, yet they thrive.
Capt. Rubelli’s odd way of telling
when his vessel is within dangerous
proximity of the approaches to Port
Arthur has for several days been the
topic of discussion among nautical men
at this port. Coming as it has front
a man of his experience, other nautical
men trading there will hereafter, no
doubt, be guided in the handling of
their vessels by the same conditions.
Capt. Rubelli says that the mosquito
here may be of no use other than a
plague, but at Sabine and Port Ar
thur they are the safest guides to
anxious mariners.

bought for about $1 a quart. Sterilized
juice sells for 3 to cents a quart.
