By keeping his head and not losing Ihls nerve Thursday morning, Will Bur- Iden, a negro coachman employed by ■ Morris Brandon, saved at least one Iporson from death or serious injury land prevented a pair of frantic horses ■ from dashing wildly through crowded I Peachtree street While driving along Peachtree street Inear Auburn avenue, one of the horses ■attached to the carriage slipped on the Trolley rail and In the struggle that hollowed, part of the harness was ■roken. Mrs. M. J. Daniel was riding In the arrlag* at the time, and as soon as fli" horses began plunging wildly, she inade preparations tp jump Burden ■told h*r to remain In the carriage, but [aa the horses gained speed and with lone of them completely out of the I traces, Mrs. Daniel Jumped from the I rapidly moving carriage. I She escaped injury, save from a I apralned wrist, and the horses contln- I v.M their wild run up toward the PU-d- I tnont. Instead of jumping, the negro lismalned at his post, although the I breaking of the harness placed him at Is disadvantage. I Just before the Piedmont was 1 leached, the carriage collided with a I wagon standing at the curb and came I to a stop. The herses became entan- | gled In the harness and wheels of the I carriage and threatened every minute I to brain the negro as he tried to dls- I entangle them. By removing one I wheel of the carriage and several I braces, the horses were released. I Several persons of the big crowd that I witnessed the negro’s nerve did not I hesitate to praise him for ills cool work. Mrs. Daniel declined medical attention for her sprained wrist and went the Brandon residence In a car. John Mitchell, colored, will hanged In the Cobb county Jail at Marietta Friday, the prison commis sion declining to Interfere with the sentence. Mitchell was to have been hung June 14, but on the appeal of tho con demned man's father. Governor Ter rell respited him for one week In order that --he case might be placed before the pardon board. The commission, however, found nothing that would warrant Interference with the sentence of the court. Mitchell killed a negro named Nash Johns at a dance In Ma rietta.

Gordon, a member of Company K, of the Seventeenth Infantry, sta tioned at Fort McPherson, encoun tered a piece of hard luck In attempt ing to get away with a burglary which he Is alleged to have committed In Oakland City Wednesday night. Gordon, It Is alleged, went to the home of a negro woman named Ruth Johnson, In Oakland City, Wednesday night, and carried away an entire water set, composed of a pitcher, bow4, soap dish and other articles which usually go with a water set. A short while later he went to the home of another negro and tried to sell the ar ticles. That was where Gordon's hard luck came In. The home was that of the mother of the woman from whom the goods had been taken, and Gordon was nailed on the spot, two or three negro women and a negro man doing the nailing. The prisoner was turned over Marshal Ryan, who In turn delivered him to Officer Odum of the county police Thursday morning. Gordon declares that he found the water set and denlos that he etole them.

Phillips & Crew Company, General Distributors Victor and Edison Machines, 37-39 PEACHTREE STREET. Athens, Os., June 20.—"American Citizenship" was the eubject of the ad. dress delivered to the graduating class of the Georgia University yesterday by Alfred P. Thom, general counsel of tho Southern Railway Company. Referring to his own perplexities, aa he looked upon this sea, . Mr. Thom said: “Before me stretched a sea that was not all storm, but on which tile sun light rested more frequently than the clouds, 4nd there were. If I only knew, many seaworthy boats In which might embark. I was forced to real Ixo that I had to And a ship—perhaps to' build It; no ship would seek me or come after me. I was obliged to real ize that my knowledge of the sea of life, notwithstanding my college train ing, was limited, and that I must be content to serve a bard apprentice ship to nt me for the duties of com mand. I found that the world was not busying Itself to help me to embark, and that, practically unaided, I must And a way to create a usefulness and establish an Importance. In the midst of these surroundings, 1 did not realize the greatness and the glory of the opportunity which comes to youth, and to youth alone; but now, In looking backward, I have come to know that, notwithstanding seeming neglect and InsIgnlAcnnce, the destinies or man kind are dependent upon the recurring generations of Its youth—their larger knowledge at the corresponding age, their better training, their advancing Ideals and aspirations. Will Mast Discouragement "Similar dlAlcuttles and discourage rooms to those I have mentioned wllj doubtless come to you In the early ex periencea of your lives. But, for your encouragement, you have the experi ences add the achievements of nil the generations which have gone before you, which, notwithstanding these q|f- Acultles and discouragements, have made the history and created the op portunities of mankind. You have all the errors and mistakes of others In the past by which to proAt. You start from the highest point of civilisation, upon the highest plane of human op portunity yet opened to any genera tion." Taking up his subject—American Cltlsenshlp; Its Opportunities and Its Responsibilities—Mr. Thom spoke the foundation of the American repub lic-dedicated to liberty and conse crated to the happiness of mankind— Its foundation stone being equality of Individual opportunity and the sanc tity of Individual liberty, and Its three great fundamentals, the security of life, the security of liberty, and the security of property. He suggested that It might be both Interesting and useful to Inquire to which of these three fundamentals there was likely. In our American republic, to come the greatest and the quickest danger. What Is Liberty? "But what of-liberty In. the larger sense—of that liberty which means freedom of thought, freedom of action, equality of opportunity, and equality of light and privilege?” asked Mr. Thom. "Civilisation, with all Its prog ress, Its development and Its achieve ments, has never been able to settle the problems In respect to, or to make se cure, this larger liberty. No people realise more fully than we of the South that freedom of thought and freedom of political action are not yet secure to us." Mr. Thom,sketched brleAy the strug pelllng the , Southern people to stand together, without reference to national questions. In order to preserve their domestic peace and their Anglo-Saxon civilization. Now, however, because of wise measures of disfranchisement, he felt Hint he could see the dawn of their political emancipation and restoration to their old position of honor and In- Auence In the republic. In concluding his address, Mr. Thom said: Eulogizes Spencer. “Contrast for a moment the charac ter nnd career of the demagogue to which I have alluded with the brilliant achievements of one of your own dis tinguished alumni, whose name my heart bids me to mention In honor here today. Born of your people and In your midst, he began at 16, In For rest's command, to Aght the battles of his country. When the cause for which he fought went down In ruin, he was left omy with hts tattered Confederate uniform, his brave heart and his high purpose to confront the future. Here at this university and at the University of Virginia he received the academic and professional training which', with his splendid character, was nil Jhe cap ital on which he started life. He was essentially a product of the South. He came from that generation of warrior youths which adorned the annals of courage and chivalry and made Immor tal the history of our people. He began his professional life In the lowest ranks of civil engineering. In the position of rodman he drove his Arst stake at a railroad builder Just across your bor ders, at Opelika, in Alabama. Hla course was from the Arst constantly upward, until hla fame became more than national, and his constructive genius created the great railroad aya tem which, after all of ua have been called to our fathera, will go on carry ing the commerce, serving the conven ience, aiding the growth, nnd making the prosperity of generations yet un born. The monument of Samuel Bpen- cfer Is his great constructive work, which will continue through countless -a lo bring blessings to mankind. In life and In hla work he Illustrated the moral and Intellectual possibilities of American cltlsenshlp. 1 ask the privilege of Joining In the Just tribute president of the University of Virginia: recently paid to him by Dr. Alderman. " ‘Gentle and purposeful, calm and masterful, gracious anil sympathetic, Samuel Spencer grew Into a sort of pe of the best that modern Southern 'e could produce, retaining the lova bleness and charm of the old, blended with the vigor and freedom of the new. Worldly and clear-eyed and modern, he yet contrived to hold fast, through the conservatism In hts blood, to Just conreptf of public probity and scorn of dishonor. I sometimes think that no section and no Institution and no nation ■hat has not known the discipline of war and defeat and suffering could produce Just this Ane blend of strength and simplicity, of power and honor.' Names That Will Livt. "But, as signal as were hla achieve ments, he Is only one of the Illustrious names which this university has con tributed to the Immortal pages American history. Time does not per mit to recount their deeds, but. In the presence of this generation of generous and aspiring youth. It Is an Inspiration and a privilege to call even a partial roll of the great names which this uni verslty has furnished to the pantheon American citizenship. Robert Toombs, Howell Cobb, Thomas R. Cobb. Benjamin H. Hill. Henry W. Grady, Walter B. Hill, and Samuel Spencer will always bo a glory and an Inspiration to mankind, and will strengthen the purpoae and elevate the standards of the young men of Georgia and her slater states as long as cour age, high character and noble achieve- ments are valued among men. "I am a Arm believer In the Anal tri umph of the character and sense of Justice of the people. I have faith In this American republic. As I stand before this generation of American youth and contemplate the opportunity and possibilities of the real man In American life, 1 can not escape a feel ing of pride that I, too, am an Ameri can cltlsen. I see before me a conti nent which 416 years ago arose for the Arst time out of the mlsta and wilder ness of the ocean to reward the search of a civilised discoverer, and on which 200 years ago was made the Arst per manent settlement of the white man. I see before me a republic which 122 S ears ago had Ita baptism of Are and Its Irth .of ‘ ' ‘ Justice and fair dealing among men, I see It dotted with great cities, covered with farms In cultivation, sheltered by great forests, and watered by great rivers. I see possessing this land a great nation, practicing the arts and sciences of civilisation from ocean to ocean, and from the lakes to the gulf. 1 hear on every hand the hum of In dustry; 1 see the mines giving up their treasures, the valleys teeming with fruit trees and harvests, and the hill sides covered with Aocks and herds. I see men happy and prosperous In their labors, tilling the lands In the fear of God, and going down to the sea In ships and doing business on the great waters. I see on every hand a good and contented people, serving their Maker, loving and honoring their homes and cherishing their fellow-men. I see that In this American republic Is the bulwark of liberty. Justice and right eousness among the nations of the earth. And I say to you. young men about to enter Into life; "Here Is your hope. This Is your heritage." BANKRUPT SALE.
