PROHIBITION FIGHT
Was Started In Earnest In the
Georgia Legislature.
THE GREATEST INTEREST MANIFESTED
•legislative Harts Jammed With People
From All Sections of the State
to Hear the Arguments.
The fight over the Willingham pro
hibition bill began in earnest in the
Georgia house of representatives Tues
day. The debate waxed warm before
it had progressed very far.
One of the sensational features of
day’s session was the attack by the
author of the bill on the character of
Atlanta's mayor. Mr. Willingham was
taken to task, however, by Mr. Slaton,
of Fulton, who followed him and char
acterized his speech as a striking ex
ample of intemperance.
The debate, participated in by fif
teen of the leading representatives of
the people, demonstrated alike to the
distinguished visitois on the floor and
io the surging crowd in the gallery
that in point of ability the present
house is far above the ordinary, and
that its members are prepared to cope
in a statesmanlike manner with meas
ures of grave importance such as the
one that was then before them.
Long before the house was called to
order by Speaker Little the gallery
was filled with an excited crowd, keen
ly alive to the importance of the issue
set for consideration and swayed by
sonviction and interest to one side of
the question or the other. Among
the early comers were the ministers
of the Atlanta Evangelical Associa
tion, mayors of different towns in the
state, the women of Atlanta who have
worked tirelessly and indefatigably
lor prohibition, and the boys of the
aity high school interested in the con
duct and outcome of the debate.
When Speaker Little rapped for or
der there was not standing room in the
gallery, while the lobby and adjoining
rooms to the hall were crowded with
visitors seeking entrance to the floor.
Not since the last election for United
States senator has there been such a
gathering in the hall of representa
tives, for it has met in the open an
issue that so nearly touches the peo
ple of the state at every point in life.
Upon the call of the roll all but
twenty-seven members were credited
with being in their seats, an unusually
large attendance in the house for
Tuesday. Dr. Walker Lewis, of the
First Methodist church, in opening
the session witn prayer, invoked the
guidance of God in conducting the
action of members on the vital issue
at stake and that His strong arm
sight be raised in the deliberations
for right and truth.
The house was not long in getting
down to the issue which had so often
been pushed into the background, and
in a resolution introduced by Mr.
Bell, of Forsyth, provision was made
for the extension of the day’s session
into the afternoon and adjourning at 5
o’clock.
SHOT UNARMED FILIPINO.
Serious Chare® Against Colonel Metcalfe
Which Ift Promptly Denied.
Lieutenant Hall, of Lawrence, for
merly of the Twentieth Kansas regi
ment, in a letter to the Topeka Jour
»»1, makes the charge that Colonel
Metcalfe, recently breveted brigadier
general for gallantry in the Philip
pines, shot an unarmed and supplicat
ing Filipino prisoner and in support
®f it, furnishes affidavits of Private
Fisky of the Twentieth Kansas, and
First Lieutenant Ferguson of the
Thirty-sixth infantry.
The Associated Press correspondent
informed Col. Metcalfe of the nature
as the accusation. He said he did not
know what Lieut. Hall referred to and
that he could not comprehend how he
same to make any such a statement
aides s it was due to the fact that the
jplieutenant was not recommended for
c romotion. He declared that the
harge was absolutely false.
“I don’t understand what Hall
means by his story,” declared the col
®nel. “You may say for me that I
eater a general denial.”

STORY OF TWO BROTHERS.
Affair Looked Roar for Reuben, But Lucien
• Beat Him Out.
Reuben and Lucien Bradley were
born and reared on a Michigan farm.
This farm had been cut from the
woods by the father, and endless toil
had been expended In bringing It to a
state of fair productiveness. But even
when the boys became of age ft pro
duced only a scant living for Jhe fam
ily.
The problem of a livelihood and a
vocation forced itself upon Reuben and
Lucien. They were strong, steady and
industrious, and had been graduated
from the village school. The father
was not able to set them up in busi
ness. They knew it and did not com
plain. He had done the best he could.
Reuben was tired of the country. He
went to town and apprenticed himself
to a harness maker. Against the ad
vice of his young friends Lucien
bought sixty acres of land and ran in
debt for it.
In a year Reuben was earning $1 a
day. After the day's work he wore a
white shirt because other people did.
pot because they were more comforta
ble. He had no debts. Lucien bad fair
crops, but they yielded little more than
enough to pay Interest on the mort
gage. He wore a ragged shirt and
patched breeches and cowhide boots.
People said that Reuben was making
a gentleman of himself and learning a
trade in the bargain.
In two years Reuben bad completed
his appenticeship. He was now earn
ing $lO a week. He boarded in a house
that had a fancy veranda nnd green
blinds. His clothes improved. Lucien
was still ragged, but he paid his inter
est and S3OO on his principal. People
said that Reuben was bound to come to
the front.
Reuben became foreman of the shop
at SSO a month. He bought a house
and lot on the Installment plan and
paid for it within five years. The
country people called upon him and
ate dinner when they went to town.
Lucien paid off the mortgage and own
ed the farm. People said that Reuben
and Lucien were good citizens.
In ten years more Reuben was still
foreman of the shop. He received the
same wages. He lived in the same
house. He wore the same cut of shirt
and the same kind of pointed shoes.
He smoked Havana cigars. Lucien
built a new house and barn. He had
a good carriage and a driving horse.
He smoked a pipe. The neighbors saw
that every year he made some Improve
ment on the farm. The barn was full
of tools. He wore a white shirt when
he went to town and he had a pair of
button shoes. People said that Lucien
was becoming a prominent man; and
his word was good at the bank.
Reuben began to complain that har
ness making was too confining. His
health was breaking down. The pro
prietor of the shop was selfish and
would not die and leave the business
to him. Harness making was not
what it used to be. He went fishing
when he wanted to. Reuben came out
now and then to spend a Sunday. The
birds seemed to sing more sweetly than
ever before, and the grass was green
er. Lucien indorsed Reuben's note.
Lucien has pigs and cows and sheep
and chickens and turkeys and horses.
He raises potatoes and beans and corn
and wheat and garden stuff and
fruits. He buys his groceries, tobacco
and clothes. Reuben buys everything;
At the close of the year Lucien puts
SIOO to S3OO in the bank or he takes a
trip to Boston. Reuben does well if
he comes out even. Lucien does not
fret. Reuben grumbles.—Professor L.
H. Bailey of Cornell University, in the
Review of Reviews.
A Remarkable Story.
Jan Vandeenoor, a wealthy Dutch
coffee grower and an ardent sympa
thizer with the Boers, has just return
ed to Paris after the failure of a re
markable attempt to wage private war
against England.
Some time ago Vandeenoor, when
British troops were beginning to be
sent to Africa, fitted a swift vessel to
ram unattended troopships. Numer
ous acldents to her machinery and the
mutinous dissatisfaction of the crew
compelled him to put back to Antwerp
after twelve days at .sea, during which
time not a single transport was sight
ed.—Paris correspondence in New
York World.
Utilitarian Point of View.
“Can you tell me, my friend,” said
the gentleman to the keeper of a
camel, “what the hump on that cam
el’s back is for?”
“What's it for?”
“Yes; of what value is it?”
“Well, it’s lots of value. The camel
wouldn’t be no good without it.”
“Why not?”
“Why not? Yer don’t suppose peo
ple 'ud pay to see a camel without a
hump, do yer?”—London Telegraph.

BUCKINGHAM'S DYE XM,
Walting for the Coin.
On one occasion, whilst examining
the mechanism of the monster revolv
ing lamp belonging to a light house, a
visitor wishing to see.how many sec
onds would elapse before It completed
a revolution, took a half crown piece
from bls pocket and placed it on the
revolving frame work. Watch In hand,
he patiently waited for the coin to
come round again to where he was
standing, but no half-crown appeared.
The seconds lengthened into minutes,
still no half crown.
“Strange!” he exclaimed. “What can
be the reason of It?”
In order to ascertain he walked round
to the other side of the lamp, and in
doing so encountered one of the light
house men, who touched his cap, and
said, in an undertone, “thank you,
sir.”
The man, seeing the coin coming to
ward him, had procured it, thinking it
was meant for a tip.
Green Turbans Are Fashionable.
A turban generally consists of from
eight to ten yards of cloth and is, as
a rule, only worn by Emaums or Mos
lem priests, those who made the
Hadji or Pilgrimage to Mecca, among
theological students and by a few
Asiatic tribes. Turbans are also made
of silk and the colored turbans of the
British India soldiers together with
their red uniforms, all contribute to
army a most pleasing and
warlike appearance. Among Moslems,
those who are attired in green tur
bans claim to be descendants of the
Prophet, but since the color of the
Islamic banner is also green, green
turbans have become fashionable
among the orthodox. Indeed a green
turban is merely an external signifi
cation of the devotee being a Mahome
dan, such as the affix “Muhammed,”
to a proper name of a person (univer
sally) and also to a proper name of a
place In Turkey, as well as most of
the Syed affixes in India.

matter of their gardens and green
houses.—London Mail.

“battle of the nations”—when between
200,000 and 300,000 ’ Prussians, Rus
slahs, Austrians and Swedes under
Schwarzenberg defeated 180,000
French troops under Napoleon, a
"Volkerschlacht monument" will be
Inaugurated October 18, 1900. A space
of more than 40,000 square yards has
been given by the city of Leipsic for
the purpose, and the mound which will
be surmounted by the monument—lt
will be an Immense 250
feet square at the base—will be thrown
up In the course of the coming year.
The monument will be about 250 feet
high, ad the figure of the archangel
Michael, which will stand on the east
front, .surrounded by war furies and
genii of peace, will be about twenty
live feet high. It is expected that the
monument will be finished In time for
the centennial clebro.tion in 1913. For
