????as_ A L?TTLE HEEOIM?, Who Bo?aved to Sing tho Song March ing Through Georgia, '-- ,; >'''' GIVEN A ROUSING WELCOME In Augusta, Georgia, by tho Old Confederate Veterans, Whoso Honored Guest rho Itlt . tleJLady.WuB. The Confederate Veterans at'Au-' N gusta last week went wild over Miss Laura Talbott Galt,, of Louisville,' Ky., the little girl who refused to Bing i "Marching Through. Georgia" when orderea to do so by her teacher last year. She has been invited to Augusta : by tue "Veterans and arrived tn the city on Monday afternoon of last week. The Augusta Chronicle says long be fore. the hour for the arrival of tho train hundreds of men, women and children began to gather at the Union . depot, anxious to be the first to catch a glimpse of the little heroine and welcome her to the city. Shortly before the scheduled hour for the arrival of the train Camp 435 met at the monument on Broad street, In full uniform, and marched to the depot In a body, headed by tho Robin son Carnival band. A carriage drawn by four white horses, and driven by Capt. Newt Heggie in person, was on hand to drive the young lady to the Albion. When the news reached the depot that the train was pulling through the yard into the station, the old Veterans fell In line, the band s truck up "My Old Kentucky Home," and when the great engine of the train pushed under tho shed a mighty shout, and a rebel shout at that, went up, the crowd surging wildly to the train. For a moment confusion ' reigned supreme. A committee, composed of Captain William Dunbar and Samuel Wilson, had gone up the road and boarded the train before it reached the city. When they appeared at the door of the Full man, leading a beautiful young child, dressed in gray and wearing a jaunty gray cap, a mighty shout rent the air and the band struck up "Dixie." Again there was pandemonium. Miss Galt was visibly affected by the demonstration. Hundreds of hands were stretched forward to grasp hers, and lt was with the utmost difficulty that she could make her way down the steps of the car. Slowly the party had to work its way through, the massed people, few able to catch a glimpse of the little heroine, owining to the crush. SALUTED THIS VETERANS. When Miss Gait stepped in front of the line of old soldiers and gracefully doffed her little Confederate cap, a third mighty shout went up and de spite the cries of the officers the men broke ranks and rushed about Miss Galt, wild with enthusiasm, all anxi ous to be tho first to shake her by the hand. By this time the little lady had gained her compo&urc, and amid renewed enthusiasm smiled her greeting to the right and left as she walked to the head of the column. From the lined up Confederate sol diers to thc grand entrance of the depot Miss Galt received ovatir- :ter ; ovation, tho people, old. and v-, ig, were drawn up inline to see her.' % xr ;.;shebadJ-akgn her seat in tl -*?irV ge l?dleVa?d^geath?m^ir'B?rge: -t, anxious to shake her band ! 1 c?me her to the city. A procession was Immediate^ ?tm ed, led by the Carnival band, Camp 435 following, and Miss Gait's carriage .bringing up the rear. The line of march was out Campbell street to Broad and down Broad to the main entrance of the Albion. All along the line the little lady was accorded an ovation. A large crowd of people were massed in front of the hotel entrance, pushing and craning their necks to catch a glimpse of her as she passed into the hotel lobby. About the carriage Camp 435 and other visit ing camps were drawn up in line. As Miss Galt arose to leave the carriage she turned and gallantly doffed her cap to the heroes of the sixities. A mighty shout went up and the band ?>N_feej?an_to play "Dixie." Miss Galt is a mere c?ilctrfi??^fi^years of age, but she holds a place dear il~ the hearts . of the Veterans of Augustas,a.nd the South. She is exceedingly pretty.^ On the trip to Augusta Miss GiilU is accompanied by her mother, who isT also an attractive woman. Mrs. Galt wore a happy smile, and no wonder, as her little daughter so graciously received the ovations that were being extended at almost every step. It is safe to say that no young child from another state ever received a warmer welcome, or with a more enthusiastic demonstration, by the people of Augusta. It is an incident of life of which any one might feel justly proud. Miss Galt will remember her trip to Augusta in the year.3 to come, and in the Providence of God, loug after the last of the heroes of the Confederacy have-stepped from the scene of action and reunions are no more. IS ONLY A SAMPLE. But yesterday's demonstration is but a sample of the honors that have been accorded to Miss Galt since, her memorable act In refusing to sing of hear sung "Marching Through Geor gia." All over the South Veterans' camps have heaped honors on Miss Galt, and her visits to reunions have been In the nature of ovations. Prom inent among those doing her honor is Camp 435 of Augusta. She has been elected an honorary members of thc camp, presented with a gold badge of the Confederate Survivors' association, and memoralizcd in rcsoutions, and the last honor conferred was the invi tation extended to visit the Georgia reunion in this city as the guest of the camp. While in the city she will be accorded every honor possible for the old soldiers to confer. Through out yesterday afternoon and last night Miss Galt and Mrs. Galt were kept busy receiving ladies and gentlemen who called at the hotel to welcome them. Among the visitors were hun dreds of veterans from all over the state. For all Miss Galt had a smile and a loving word. Already she is es tablished as a favorite. AHOUT T??E INCIDEKT. A word in reference to the incident that made Miss Galt famous will not be amiss. From Louisville corres pondence the following information is secured in reference to her refusal to Join In or even hear the singing of the "Yankee" song when ordered by her teacher In the Louisville public school three years ago, which she was at tending: "Laura Talbott Galt, a thirteen year-old school girl, has created a sen sation in Louisville and set the town to talking by her refusal not only to Bing "Marching Through Georgia,' but to refuse to hear it sung by her classmates. As a result of her breech Of discipline her passage to thc high school ?B endangered. Tho mattier ha3 been taken up-yy ??ionas," ana^wij?y bo aired at the next.. meeting of tho bo?rdvof . BChobV trust?es. :\ Confeder ate Veterans; ahd5the:'Daughters of the.Oorir^eraby .h?ve been aroused, and already, the agitation has resulted In the possibility of reopening the light against -the teaching ot Civil War history in the publie "Eoho?ls, because of tho alleged unfairness of the so called popular hlatori?s.v?^^^^^^? " 'The little rebel,'Miss Laura Tal bott Galt, is the grand-daughter ot Mrs. Laura.Talbott Itoss, a member of the Daughters of . the American Rev o< v'on, and an ardent, and unrecon * i. ?ted member of the Albert Sydney Johnson chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy:" Of the inciden*. Miss Galt Is quoted as follows by thc Above correpondent: "I am too loyal to my* parents and my ancestors to permit the.South or the cause tor whioh her- sons fought to be slandered or misrepresented, and I will not sing, nor will I listen to the singing of such songs as 'March ing Through Georgia,' which I hold aro unfair to the South, and are re sented by all true Southerners. As to my defense ot Admiral Sommes, I had a perfect right to do so, and was backed by other histories every blt as good as Barnes*. He was a good ad miral, a loyal Confederate, and ls en titled tn all that can bc said in his behalf. I hope I will be promoted to the high sohool. My record hos been good in all my studies and surely all my good marks cannot be taken away just because I refused to hear a song which is un insult to my ears." NOT sroir-KD A JilT. Another detailed account of the in cident is tho following, clipped from the Lost Cause, a Confederate maga zine published at Louisville: . "The father and the grandfather ol little Laura, Galt were Confederate soldiers. Both . of them are dead. Her grandfather, Dr. Galt, was the first surgeon of the First Kentucky calvary, which regiment was com manded by the late Ben Hardin Helm. There are those who remember Dr, Galt when he wore a Confederate uni form and defended the cause of the South. There aro others who remem ber Dr. Galt when he was an hooored citizen of Davies county, Kentuoky, and both as citizen and soldier we all respect his memory. "His grand-daughter, little Laura Galt, who declined to sing 'Marching Through Georgia,' is a pupil in thc public- school of the city of Louisville; where she lives. She is obedient and respectful to all those who are set ir. authority over her. But when hei teacher requested .her to sing thal song she declined to do so, because ifc sentiments are a reflection on thi honor and integrity of her dead an cestors." "Little Miss Galt is a gracious litt li maiden who seems not to have beei spoiled by .all the attention and noto riety given her. THOUGHT IT A SHAME. A reporter asked her a few ques tious and her responses, put together make the following explanation of he school girl conduct : "I have received many letters fron old soldiers from all over the country When I think of what those dear ol< Confederates suffered for the caus< they loved so dearly, I feel how unde served is all the praise they give m for the little act of duty of mine, always keep these letters among nv treasures. I had rea.d other historie of the war and knew tho truth' abou the battle between the Kears?rge am the Alabama. For this reason would not say, as my teacher tried fe force the class to Bay, that it was ; breach of honor in Admiral Somme to escape on the Deerhound Instead o giving his sword to Captain Winslov when the Kearsag? had fired broad side after broadside into the Coufed erate cruiser after the white flag v/a raised. As for putting my finger in my ears, I did that because would not listen to a song that de clares such a tyrant and coward a Sherman and his disgraceful and hor rible march through Georgia and th Carolinas to be glorious. I did no think at the time that my teache would think it very bad. I felt thu forcing the Southern girls who wer in the room to sing or listen to such song was an insult that I could no stand." _ Cun't Stop Boll Weevil. More than 500 delegates and abou 2,000 lay visitors were present at tb opening session of the National B?. Weevil and Cotton copy??tfoh a Dalia!?., Texas, on Thursday. Th most copspicutuis figure was Jame Wilson, tho f??cretary of agricultur in PresldentMluosevelt's cabinet. Mi Wilson delivered thc principal addres of the day. He said that he had com to Texas more t(han a week ago t look Into the cotton situation.

Washington Bpoke at the, conference o? negro leaders on tho face problem;. Despite tho faot that the special problems of.the city negro and rapo and lynching were before tho conference for discussion, he carefully avoided them, devoting his time to general advice to the conference. "1 feel," he said, "if I had.listened more and talked less than I have. done, I should have accomplished moro in the work I have tried to do." He; referred to the need for harmony among organ izations and repeated that the Nation al Siocologlcal socle ty Ji ad a work to do which no other organization could perform. Continuing, he said: "I am glad we are getting to the point where we can come together without regard to de nomination, even to party, to discuss these problems. There are two things that I want to say to you. I hope you will bear in mind that the great body of your people live in the south. There are 8,000,000 in the south and they will be there for years. If you will help us you will keep In touch with us who are striving to better the conditions there. There are those of us who expect to remain right in the south and if our people suffer to suffer with them. In the discussions of this conference condemnations of wrong should have a large part, but a very large part should be given to bringing out something constructive. There are wrongs to be sure. Some of us live in sections where we hear them and eat them for breakfast, dinner and supper. But along with condem nation there is a demand for some thing constructive. What can you aotually project or what relief can you bring?" Before leaving the floor Prof. Wash ington was asked by the Rev. Henry Johnson of Baltimore if he saw any tendency toward thc adoption of his own constructive theories, to which the leader replied: "My own feeling ls that we must do our duty In the light of human progress and if wc And immediate results or not we should trust to God to help us out." J. W. Lyons, the negro leader and register of the treasury, also spoke, advising the conference td ferret out the crimes which had brought about the numerous lynehings In order to show the wrong "done the race. A committee was appointed to show by the records the truth of the state ment made by the Rey. Dr. Caruthers of Washington that the white men of Chicago bad been guilty of the social crime more than the entire negro race in the same length of time. A MURDEROUS MINER Shoots Into Crowd o?

Neighborly and Otherwise. In a country near Atlanta when the stock law was adpoted two adjoining farmers fought against each other in the - election. The stock law crowd won and shortly after the no-law farmer's cattle got Into the pro-law fellow's crop. They were seized until the owner came for them and asked the damages. "Well," said the stock law farmer, "I am a law-abiding citizen and as there were 14 head of your stock In my crop the bill is 37." The bill was paid, but shortly after about 20 head of the pro-law man's cattle got into the other man's field. Tro-law went over to recover his cat tle and took his wallet along. "What are thc damages?" he asked. "Nothing at all," said the no-law man. "Because I'm neighbor and-not a law-abiding citizen." Tlio Prise-Winning: Crank. Tho opening of congress brought with lt the usual number of cranks that Infest the capitol, but the prize winner was Hon. George A.

LAID NUDE ON BIG/ ICE CAKE. A Relative ortho Slain Youth Tolls of tho Treatment tlio Victim Kecolvod and dalis lt Fohl Murder. Martin Loew, twenty-seven years old, a dental student at the University of Maryland Medical College., who died on Sunday from the effects of brutal hazing by folio wstudcnts at a Greek letter society initiation, was a New.Yorker. He bad been a Btudent at the Maryland College for three years, and was to have graduated in June, 1904. / The New York American Bays Dr. Leopold Hirschmann, of No. OL East Eighty-sixth street, New York, .a cousin of young Loew, was bitter in his denunciations of the treatment his relative received. 1 "A fellow "student of Martin came all the way from Baltimore and gave me full details of the case," said Dr. Hirschmann. "He said that a week ago last Saturday Martin received notice that he was admitted into7 Fbi Psi Chi fraternity and was wanted immediate ly at Mechanics' Hall, No. 100 North Faca street. He hurried to the hall and was met by twenty-five members of the "frat." DROrrED TWENTY-FIVE FEET. "He was told to undress, and after doing so was blindfolded and taken into, a room, where he was laid upon a cake of ice. "He was then carried upstairs to the balcony and thrown over the rall, a drop of twenty-five feet, On the floor beneath stood a num ber of students holding a sheet. * "When Martin fell into this he was j tossed up and down until he was un conscious. After being revleved he was beaten until his body was a mass of bruises. "That night he was in such a wretched condition that his room mate stayed up all night with bim. Whiskey and quinine were given to him during the night, and in the morning Martin said that he felt re lieved. AFTER SECOND DEGREE-DEATH. "The following Saturday Martin took the 'Second Degree,' while his chum, Eph Stone, took the 'First Degree.' Before starting for the hall he said that" he was afraid. Little is known of what happened at this meeting. "The following morning my cousin was found dead and his chum was in a serious condition.' ! 'The latter has given out contradic tory statements and the true facts-of the case may ever remain a mystery. "I was a medical student and knew all about hazing, but this case is ac tual murder. He was a strong; athle tic young man, of the best habits, and neither drank nor smoked. The guilty ones should be sent to tba gallows. They are murderers." FOE A BAZORLESS SHAVE. A.. Ilo*-ralf^?j^ti3ctiar " > lt. Bettor Than a . .y Dr. Wolfram ?, Dreyfus, chief chemist of the New* York Department of public Charities, has compounded a little mixture which, if rubbed over the face, will shave you as quickly and as well as the finest She?eld razor. This Is the wonder-working com pound: Barri! sulphldl, 25 parts. Saponis pulvis, 5 parts. Talc! farinae, 35 parts. Tritici farinae, 35 parts. Benzaldehdi, quarter solution. - It appears in the new hospital formulary which Dr. Dreyfus Issued recently. This formulary contains 387 formulas and is the most extcn tenslve ever used by a hospital. Dr. Dreyfus has been working for.a-lGBg time on this "pul"5? ??pilatorius," 0.r_ shaving powder, and after many experiments h'?says that he has found something that ls satisfactory and harmless. The several ingredients mentioned above when mixed together make a power. For the new scientltic ra zorless shave you take one teaspoon ful of the powder and mix it with three teaspoonfuls of water, making a paste which you apply to the face In a moderately thick and even layer with a brush from your otherwise discarded shaving outfit. After four or live minutes moisten the lather with a sponge, and in five minutes more you can wash the mixture off, leaving a breadless, gashless face. As Dr. Dreyfus explained it, this new shaving mixture didn't seem so wonderful after all. The essential ingredient ls barium sulphide, which ls contained In all depilatory mix tures and ls also used extensively in tanning. A solution in which the barium sulphide is the chief lngre dent ls rubbed over the hide and the bair can easily be scraped off immedi ately after. Barium sulphide, how ever, is very powerful, and the trouble with all depilatory powders, even those which are used as an adjunct to surgical operations, Is that they are injurious to the sklu. Dr. Dreyfus therefore looked around for something that would render the powerful sul phide harmless. The Ingredients which he found would have that effect, and which are set down in the formula given above, have strange and impressive names, but they aro really our every day friends. Saponis pulvis is plain powdered soap which makes a lather Talc! venetl pulvis ls talcum powder, and Tritici farinae is wheat Hour, both of which arc cosmetic in their effects. Benzaldehyde is practically an artificial almond oil, tho pleasant ordor of which neutralizes that of the barium sulphide, which is not so pleasant. . A dash of this over the face, a ten minute wait, a wash, and there you arc, looking as clean and feeling much better than if you had submitted to one of thc old-fashioned razor opera tions with "Witch hazel or bay rum Slr?" accompaniments. The new hair grows much more slowly, but otherwise the effect is tho same as that of a razor shave, except the cast of the new process which ls hardly worth considering.

The Augusta Chronicle says, at a dinner the other night in that city the conversation naturally drifted to the coming reunion, and things rela tive to the Confederacy. For once, the older members of the party monopolized the conversation. For onco the younger ones were content to be mere listeners. "Une thing ls certain," said the judge, as he put down his sherry glass, "if I had anything to do with the? state school commission I would RP.O to lt, that In every school throughout I the state there was a copy of The Rise | and Fall of the Confederaoyr It's a wonderful book, slr," he said address ing himself to the Major," "a wonder ful book.

At Gainesville, Ga., last week an In dignation meeting, attended by 200 of the best citizens of the city, was held in the city hall for the purp, se of adopting plans to suppress the sale of whiskey and the operation of objec tionable resort in . the city. A Law and Order league was formed before the meeting adjourned and 100 prom inent citizens volunteered to serve | on a committee to walt upon the per sons operating the blind tigers and other places and informing them that | they would be given only three days in which to get out of the city and the county.

DIVE KEEPER, 13ccauso They Kofuaed to Allow Kim .V/A'{to Shoot Thom Whon Thoyv Raided His Blind Tl?or Den In Charleston. Not content with tbs indictment of the five dispensary constables in" the court of common pleas a few-days ago on the charge of assaulting him in his place of business in tho city pf Charleston last August, R. D. Wie tors, who ran a blind tiger in Charles ton, carried his case Into the United States court Saturday, securing Van order from Judge Simonton for the arrest of State Constables Bateman, Hay, Gidean, Grady and May. Two of the constables were arrested by the United States Marshal, and In de fault of $6,000 bond each were sent to jail. It is probable that three others will be arrested on a similar proceed ing, and the action of the prosecutors has created quite a sensation. CAUSE OF TOE TROUBLE. The Columbia State says "all the trouble arises from a difficulty which the constables bad with law-breakers by the name of Wieters, men who claim that they are not naturalized citizens, and have brought suit for damages in the federal court and have also instituted criminal proceedings in the same court. Action of a crimi nal nature has been brought in the state courts and the grand jury hos returned a true bill on each of the several counts. "Governor Hey ward was annoyed last week because in the case of Mr. William Lykes against Ohlcco's driver; the indictment was thrown out by thc grand jury, while on the other hand true bills under several counts were brought in against the constables, who had the fight with the Wieters people. The iirst action brought by Wieters was a civil suit for 910,000 damages against the constables, and in addition they have been arrested by the United States marshal and are now in jail in Charleston in default ol' $5,000 bond each. WAS AN OUTRAGE. "The case of Mr. Dykes was con sidered an outrage. He was run down by one of Chicco's drivers and received injuries which came near costing him his life. Mr. Lykes is a farmer lo Richland county, and is known as a most honorable man. HG would not use his pistol in attempting to stop Chicco's driver, and for this was com mended by the governor. Orders have been issued by tbe governor and by Mr. Hammett that they would toler ate no fighting on the part of the con stables, and the Wieters affray is tho first violation of that order. How ever, Gov. Heyward must think the provocation great, for be has not yet discharged the men who are in trouble. "Mr. Hammet was in Charleston Saturday and hurried back to Colum bia to consult with the governor and the attorney general, thinking that of more importance than to try to get bond for the arrested men. Mr. Ham mett's report of the facts in the case gave the governor quite a surprise, fur ttia.bcj?b mcnJnrl boan eel?pted ?Ot*' this work and they, had been insoifuot cd to bo cautious and prudent. This Is the first serious unpleasantness since the governor came into office." GOV. HEYWARD TALKS OUT. In speaking of the matter Satur day night Gov. Heyward said: "I found the law upon the books and un der my oath of ofllce itis my duty to enforce it. Charleston is treated like any other part of tho state. The only way to endeavor to enforce the law In Charleston is to order the chief to raid suspected places, for the juries refuse to find true bills. At the pres ent term of court the grand jury threw out the bill against a negro driver in Culcco's employ, who was charged with ossult in driving over one of the constables acting in the discharge of his duties. Mr. Lykes was seriously injured, and lt was feared at one time that he would die. WILL ENFORCE TOE LAW. ''It is exasperating that the plain tiff in this case-a man whose place of business, I understand, has been raid ed frequently-should consider him self Immune from the laws of this ; State, and when called upon to ob serve the laws, Institutes In the fed eral courts civil proceedings against the officers of the law. Wieter.* claim ed damages on the ground that he is nota citizen of the United States, but owes his allegiance to a foreign pow er and by virtue of such action has the officers thrown into jail to await release by giving bond for $5,000 each. Such action shall not deter me In the effort to enforce the dispensary law In the enforcement of this law, Charleston must be treated like any other part of the State." The matter has been referred to the office of thc attorney general to take steps to secure the release of the con stables. Mr. Gunter and the governor discussed the matter at length last night. Killed Ills Brother. , A Boecial to The State says just outside of the corporate limits of Greenville a sad accident took place on Tuesday, Nov. 10, resulting in the death of a young negro, the son of Dink Walker, a rrsptctable man who lives on Geo. B. Thurston's palee. A negro came to Walker's with a shot gun and sat it down against a stump in the field, where two of .Walker's sons were at w?rk. One of ...them picked up the gun and.?ralsed -lt to his shoulder, aiming as if to shoot, when his brother passed in front of the gun just as it was accidentally fired. The load entered his head and blew off one side of it. The boy that was killed is 18 years old and the one who fired the gun is 14 years old. The white ..friends of the family ex press much regret at the unfortunate occurrence. Warned by a Bend Alan. The Salisbury, N. C., Sun relates the following: Mr. J. S. Marable, who died on Monday night related several days before his death a re markable experience. Ho was covers ing with his physician, Dr. W. W. McKenzie, to whom he stated that he had been warned of his death. "Some weeks ago," said Mr. Marable, "when I was walking home I became so weak that I was compelled to sit upon a rock to rest. While resting Tom Sparnoll (Mr. Sparnell has been dead for several months) came to me and said, "Well old fellow, your time ls, about up and you had better get ready to die. I knew Tom Sparnoll was dead, but I could seo and hear him distinctly." Geo A Wagener, Pres. Geo Y Coleman, VlcePrcs. ^ I G Ball, Sec'y & Treas Coleman-Wagener Hardware Company^ Successor to O. P.

Tho Republicans Messing With the Race Problem in Congress. The Washington correspondent of' The State says widespread comment was aroused at the capitol Friday by the action of Representative Dick of Ohio introducing a resolution provid ing for a congressional inquiry into| the alleged disfranchisement of vot ers in the south and for the reduction of congressional representations of those States wherein such conditions are found to exist. Representative Dick ls an intimate j friend of Senator Hanna, a strong man in the house, and one of the big men in the Republican party. For this reason there is rightly attached j a faricaching significance, to his reso lution that others of the same charac ter Introduced by less prominent Re publicans entirely laoked. The r?solu-1 tion, after reciting the law regarding j the suffrage, says: "Whereas, it is a matter of com mon information and belief tbat the! right of some male citizens being 21 years of age to vote at elections named in said amendment to the constitu tion named aforesaid, except for par ticipation in the rebellion or other crime, ls denied and abridged in cer tain States, therefore, "Resolved, That the matter be re ferred to the committee on election of the president, vice-president and rep resentatives in congress, whose duty it shall be and who shall have full and ample power to investigate and Inquire into the validity of the elec tion laws of the several States and the manner of their enforcement, and whether the right to vote at any elec tion f/>r the choice of electors for president and vice-president of tho United States, representatives in con gress or the members of the legisla ture of any State is denied to the male Inhabitants of any of the States, he ir you aro not w< und want to know tho truth about, your trouble, sena tor ray freo booklets ?nd soil examination blanks.
