Supreme Court of Tenne-ssee Renders Decisions at Knoxville. KNoXvILLE. Nov. 16.-The supreme court yesterday decided two of the most important cases to come before it this term. It upheld the uniform textbook law passed last spring and denied the American Tobacco company's effort to enforce the sale of cigarettes in Ten nessee. The book law provides for a uniform system of books to be used in city and county schools, the contracts for fur nishing these books to be let by the state to the lowest and best bidders. These contracts were let in the summer and soon thereafter the American Book company, through a negro school teacher, begun a legal fight on the law. The court holds it is constitutional. The cigarette case was brought on ac count of a revenue tax provision having been made by the same legislature, li censing the sale of cigarettes. At the same time there existed the 1897 law against cigarette selling. J. Blaufield, a local dealer, paid the license and sold cigarettes. He was fined, then a test case was made by the American To bacco company to test whether the anti cigarette law was affected by the reve nue act. The court holds the revenue assess ment cannot forego the criminal statute. EWART WILL NOT RETIRE. North Carolina Juige Denies Reports to That Effect. GREENSBORO, N. C., Nov. 18.-Judge Ewart denies that he entered into an agreement with Senator Pritchard to resign his federal judgeship in Decem ber. He states that on March 3 last every Republican senator except four, and a large number of prominent Democratic senators, joined in a written request to the president not only to reappoint him, but again send his name to the senate, as they had not had an opportunity to vote on his nomination, owing to Sena ator Butler's dilatory tactics to prevent a vote. With a firm friend in Senator Pritch ard and the support of nearly the entire bar of the western district m this state, Judge Ewart thinks he would be a "monumental idiot" to retire. BRAINS HIS GRANDPARENTS. Negro Uses at Ax on Aged People Who R-proved Him. MIDviLLR, Ga., Nov. 10.-Jim John son, a negro about 20 years old, killed his grandfather and grandmother, Frank and Sukey Backers, here yester day.

He then attacked the grandmother, chopping her viciously over the head with the ax, fracturing her skull in several places. He then fled and has not been cap tured. The woman, who was later found by neighbors, regained conscious ness long enough to give the details of the crime. She then died. HEAD OF A COLLEGE JAILED.

Tur ner delived a sensational address this morning to the Georgia conference of the African Methodist church. He uirged every possible opposition by Georgia negroes to the Hardwick bill to limit the suffrage now before the legislature. He said he Iroposed to take the stump himself and implored every minister present to do likewise. He said the law wor ld reduce every negro to the ignoble status of a free slave and their condition would be worse than before the war. It would outlaw every black man and woman. le said the author was merely seeking notoriety and was backed by the "poor Swhite trash" element. Not one negro in 30 ever thinks of voting. They do not sell their votes. Three white votes are sold for every negro ballot pur chased. The bishop denounced the supreme court of the United States for taking away the negro's civil rights, but ex cepted Justice Harlan, who was the no gro's friend. He said the negroes had no army, but that the God of nations was on their side. He urged that every minister assist in getting sigdatures to the petnion to con gress for an appropriation of $100,000, 000 to be used in sending the race to Africa, as there would be no end of race conflicts in this country. He said the legislature *ould have to fight the negro on his knees, as he "prayed night and day to God to blight and curse the promoters of this un righteous measure." SHOOTS FATHER AND SON. farmer Kills Men Who Were Driving Away With ills Wife. GREENviLLE, S. C., Nov. 17. -Dr. Thomas E. James, a prominent physi cian of this place, and his son, Wade Hampton James, were killed near Six Mile church, just before midnight, by Sam Lanier, a prosperous farmer of Pickens county. The alleged cause of the doable kill ing was that Dr. James and his son were driving away, so Lanier thought, with the latter's wife. Dr. James and his son left Greenville efew days ago to visit the vicinity of Six Mile mouitain. On their way they stopped at the house of Sam Lanier and there, it is said, by some means, procured Mrs. Lanier and the three started toward their destination, which is unknown. They had not gone very far, however, when Sam Lanier inter cepted them. He had learned, it is rep resented, that they had driven away with his wife. The irate husband, armed with a shot gun, started in pursuit. As soon as Mrs. Lanier saw her husband approach ing, she, it is said, leaped from the buggy and disappeared in the darkness. Just as she leaped Sam Lanier emptied the contents of his shotgun into the bodies of the men he thought were car rying his wife away. Lanier then went to Pickens and sur rendered to the sheriff. A HUNDRED BRITISH TAKEN. Another Armored Train Merts With Disaster Neur Estcourt. LONDON, Nov. 17.-The war oilce has received the following dispatch from General Buller: "The officer commanding the troops at Estcourt reports that an armored train left Estcourt Thursday morning with a company of the Dublin fusiliers and a company of the Durban volun teers. North of Fre-ere they encour. tered a party of Beers and began to withdraw. While retiring some of the trcks were derailed. The Dublin turned out and advanced towards the enemy while the rest of the train ap pears to have retarned without them to Estcourt. The officer commanding the troops reports that he was sending mounted troops in order to cover their withdrawal, but about 100 are missing." The above noted serious and unex peted disaster to the Estcourt armored train on the eve of the forward move ment for Ladysmith has apparently convinced the British that the advance will be contested step by step. The Bers are seemingly swarming south of Colenso. While a large force has come from the neighborhood of Ladysmith, a much larger force has arrived from else where and will probably turn out to be General Schalksburger's corps. WOULD THROW OUT VOTE.
