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.” SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

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.

Then use 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.
