meeting to be in the interest of
silver and gold, and for the pur
pose of organizing for an aggressive
fight for the white metal.
Mr. J. A. Gammon, one of the

unanimously adopted:
“Wheats, Silver and gold were
declared primary and final re
demption money by the federal
constitutionliiid used as such un
til silver was demonetized in 1873,
and
Whereas, The demonetization of
silver has reduced the money of
final redemption more than half,
thereby reducing the purchasing
power of gold to the detriment of
the producing and laboring classes,
many of whom are unemployed,
and

mors of War.
The above head was written and
put in type but the “special” nev
er came. However, the following
clipped from this morning Consti
tution will prove interesting read
ing matter:
“The encampment of the volun
teer soldiery of the state begins
today at Griffin, and there will be
a gay and jolly crowj of soldier
boys on hand when the drum-tap
sounds and calls them into camp.
A special train will leave at 10
o’clock this morning over the
Georgia Central to take the com
panies that center in Atlanta from
1 all parts of Georgia to the grounds
at Griffin. The special will consist
of many carloads of soldiers wi'h
their accoutermen’s and baggage,
and Passenger Agent Sain Webb,
with headquarters, here will ac
company the soldiers to Griffin.
The appropriation this year by
the state legislature was only $16,-
(00, and with this small allowance
the encampment cannot lie on quite
so extensive a scale as it might be
for the good of the military inter
ests of the state. But the officers
who have in charge the manage
ment of the encampment are none
the less enthusiastic to make it one
of the most successful and inter
esting encampments of the milita
l y forces of Georgia ever held at
Camp Northen.
According to the plan adopted
by the military advisory board,
only half of the companies that
constitute the soldiery of the state
will be encamped this year at
Qriffin, it being thought more ex
pedient to accommodate half of
them on the funds allowed, and
give them a full course of drills
and field practice than to have all
of the forces encamped and give
them only half a lesson.
'Fliecompanies that will go in
to camp at Griffin today and stay
a week will be:
Third regiment, Colonel Thoma
son commanding, embracing the
Hill City Cadets, of Rome; Rome
Li.'ht Guards; Elberrou Light In
fantry, Conyers Volunteers, Madi
son Home Guards, Greene Rifles
and the Clarke Rifles, of Athens.
Sixth regiment, embracing the
Burke Light Infantry, of Waynes

Clarke Light Infantry, of Augus

Washington Rifles, of Sandersville.

On the 18th instant these com

A Terriole Fi?ht Between a Hawk
and Blacksnake.
Greenup, Ky., June 11.—John
Simpson and Carl Redmond, while
fishing yesterday, witnessed a most
extraordinary scene. They wore
sitting on the bank of Tygart’s
Creek when a huge hawk suddenly
swooped down and arose with A
large black snake in its talon’.
The a akj was writhing terribly,
but the hawk mountsd slowly up
ward until it had reached an al
titude of probably 100 yards when
tic snake succeeded in coiling its
e.r about its adversary.
As the serpent tightened its coils
the hawk began to gyrate dowi -
ward, and after several unsuccess
ful attempts to shake i's toimentor
loose both fell to the ground a short
distance from the spot where the
fishermen were sitting. When the
boys approached the snake glided
off in’o the brush, while the hawk;
which was too badly injured to'
?is«i Was csptureu.
