To GET LIBERAL TERMS.
England Is Trying to Find a Way to Tern
Boers Loose.
The British government has let
it be known that it is ready to
grant liberal terms to the Boers.
This has not been done officially
yet, but there does not seem to be
any doubt that it has been done,
..and there has not come a single
protest from any source. That is
taken as an indication that the
British people are heartily tired
of the war and are willing that
peace shall be made on terms
much more liberal to the Boers
than they would have consented
to a year and a half ago.
There is expectation that there
fce a statement made some
time goon of the terms Great Brit
ain is willing to grant the Boers.
It is expected that it will be made
by Mr. Chamberlain. It is known
that the King ip extremely anx
ious that there diall be peace in
all parts of tb 1 empire during the
year of his coronation. It is ap
parent the-nforc that the efforts
in the direction of peace will have
to be raoher urgent if anything is
accomplished this year.

GLENN’S WARM LETTER
Which Has Led to That Suit for Defamation
of Character.
The libel suit of County School
Commissioner J. N. Rodgers of
Washington county, against State
School Commissioner G. R. Glenn
filed recently in Atlanta, for $25,*
000 for defamation of character,
is exciting considerable comment
throughout the state. Commis
sioner Glenn’s letter, a copy of
which is attached to the plaintiff’s
petition, and which seems to be
, e main basis of the charge, ia a
warm ocument^as is shown by
the following extract:
t/ otgus, » an ersvi e,
r Ga. Dear Sir: Ihe letters
have recently written to Dr.
ry have been sent to me. Dr.
ry has of course dismissed you
with the contempt that you de¬
serve. Your infamous conduct
emblazoned on every dirtv line of
your letter will provoke the right
indignation of every honora
ble man. These letters convict
you at once of heirig both a fool
a knave. A fool because y„„
seem not to know that Dr. Curry
can have any day that he calls for
them vouchers for every dollar
that he has placed in my hands;
a knave because your wicked heart
hoped to poison him against me
and thereby secure false support
for the infamous conspiracy of
which you are a part. Of course
I am not blind to the damnable
plot that you and your confeder¬
ates have concocted to compass
my defeat in the next election.
Other letters that you have writ
ten hare been placed ir 17
SHOES—I have the most up-to-date fine of shoes in town.
Don’t buy until you see mine. Men’s $1.25 everyday shoos
$1.00. Men’s $1.25 Sunday shoes only $1.00.
When the proper time comes I
& lve y olir treacherous and
hypocritical conduct the atten
it deserves. There is
n °t oue single statement in
Y <)ur letters that is wholly true,
Y our statement “that you have
exhausted the chances of collect
ing for Rider and his wife what is
due them from me” is absolutely,
and maliciously false. You have
never mentioned the matter but
twice, so far as your letters on
bio hi this office show—once last
year and once in the early part of
this year.
One word more, and 1 dismiss
you to the ignominy that your
wretched treachery has invoked.
You can notify the chairman of
the board of education of Wasli
ington county that I can have
further relations with you, offi
cialiy or otherwise. Despising
your crime as I do, God knows 1
pity you. Like J udas, you can go
out in the darkness of the
and take further counsel of your
fellow conspirators. 1 shall mail
copy of this letter with a
merit of facts in the case to
member of the board of education
of your couuty.

Nothing is gained in waiting until

NEW RELIGIOUS SECT.
u v j n j in Boats •uul Are Anchored in the
Port at St. Louis.
The navigation of the Missis
sippi until the milleniuni and the
study of astronomy are the prin
cipal occupation of a new r<*lig
jous sect, the members of which
term themselves the Association
0 f Christian Brethren. They now
number about ninety-six, and are
a t present anchored in the port at
Louis, living on their boat,
which is built not according to
the methods of Noah’s ark, but i»
a typical Mississippi steamer.
The expected milleniuni, they say,
will not come for forty years.
The name of the boat is the
,, Megiddo,” taken from the an¬
cient Hebrew, and meaning, the
members of the sect say, “The
Lord of Hosts.”
14 We believe that the milleni
uni will come in the year 1911,”
said one of this peculiar sect.
. i We believe that at the end of
the 0,000 years of man’s earthly
which will come in
1941, the earth will become a par¬
adise, and man with his earthly
body restored but with new pow¬
ers and properties, will be able to
soar to the most remote planets
until all of God’s creation has
been traversed
. ‘ 1 he sun, Neptune (2,850,000,
miles srorn the sun), Jupiter,
Saturn, the fixed stars, all will
visited by man in those days,
Therefore, our members nmka as
their principal study
i m) xb to the more single teaching*}
of the gospel,
“In the milleniuni the Rockies
will sink fco the level of the Kan-
8 * s plains, the Alps will
to the level of the lands which
they separate, the fulfillment of
B^hle ^phecy.
“We are not Christian Scient
ists or Spiritualists, We have a
physician on board. W* teach
our children all that they would
i * evm ‘ u the public^chouls.”
Bryan Has Recovered.
A dispatch from Lincoln, Neb.
says:
“W. J. Bryan says he has fifflv
recovered from the attacks of
“presidental fever” which he has
suffered from at various times.
An agent of a life insurance
company asked him to take out a
policy, and alter long persuasion,
the Colonel signed an application
for $10,000. Opposite the ques¬
tion as to whether he had ever suf¬
fered from fevers, the colonel
writes: 1 have suffered twice
from presidential fever, follower
by very severe chills, but 1 b;r.
fully recovered.”
