He is a son of Mr. W. Christian, formerly of Vir- -iiA, but who is now Assist mt General Passenger Agent of the Seaboard Air Line, with head garters at Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Chris tia married Miss J alia Jackson, the nlycbild of the immortal Stonewall Jickson, that matchless soldier -I the Confederacy who was "the idol of the South" and whose I'tnorv is revered everywhere as a Chnitlan and a soldier. In appoiutinz the grandson of the great Confederate chieftain to a odeubip at West Point, President Booievelt has shown a spirit of pnt magnanimity and everywhere tliibaghoat the Soath his act in this mptct will be profoundly appre ciated. In appointing him he makes u exception to precedent and we do not believe that anywhere in the ir a discordant note will be , nid against the appointment of a Southern Tonng man so eminently lorthy of it and with such an 111ns- tri'Qi antecedent.

Shrler Victim of Slick Forcerv Which Csme to Llgbl Yesterday. The Forger Disappeared. Mr. L Shrler, the well known cloth ler atiinortheast corner of Front and Princess streets, was the victim of a clever' confidence game last month that came to light only yesterday. On the evening of November 4th, a negro came Into the store with an order fof a suit of clothee written on the back of one of Mr. Martin O'Brien's shipping cards and ostensibly signed by Mr. O'Brien. The order said "let Frank Jones have a suit of clothes costing about $10 and send to me to-morrow." The order was a forgery and In writ ing it out the negro bad evidently omitted the word 'blir In the clause '.end Co mo-to-morrow." Mr. O. J. Roberts, a clerk In the s tor e, sited on the negro, taking -the order in good faith and sending the clothes to Mr. O'Brien's stare the next day; filing the order and charging the suit selected to Mr. O'Brien, the amount being $13.50. When the package came Mr. O'Brien thought It bad been seht to his store by mistake and his suspicion was soon confirmed when the negro calledat the store and told him Mr. Bhtier bad sent him there for a suit of clothes that had been taken out by mistake. Mr. O'Brien told the negro he would have to get an order from Mr. Bhrler before he could get the clothes. - The negro la rather an adept with the pen and straightway went out and forged an order on Mr. Shrler, even golug so far as to sign the name "per M.," as if Mr. Marshall Shrler had written the order In tbe absence of his father. Mr. O'Brien took tb e cecond forged order In rood faito and delivered the clothes, afier which the negro disappeared. Both Mr. tthrier and Mr. O'Brien thought the transaction was all right until Mr. 8hrier sent a bill to Mr. O'Brien on the first of the month for the olothes. Then the two got together to correct what Mr. O'Brien knew was a mistake and found that each had been the vic tim of a forgery. Neither has a clue to i he ideality of the negro. SEVERAL BEFORE THE MAYOR. Maximum Fine oa Yeusg White Msa far DraskcDoeis Other Mailers. Only a limited number of offenders greeted Mayor Pro Tem. Yopp in the police court jesterday. John Haw kins, the young negro who beat bis mother and drew a pistol on hla father when the latter remonstrated with him, escaped the higher court because his parents, after the heat of passion had died away, were loth to prosecute' him. The only evidence adduced was that young Hawkins committed a simple assault and he was let off with $5 and costs. He was represented by George L. Peschau, Esq. Kittle Leslie and Mabel Williams, white women, were fined $10 and costs each for disorderly conduct Friday night In the vicinity of Seventh and Dawson streets. Jordan Mclver, charged with being drunk and down for the s'leenth time, was fined $20 and costs, from which judgment he took an appeal to the Su perior court. Appeal bond was fixed at $50. To Succeed Dr. Itraste. Rev. Robert Baunders Coupland, rector of Atcension Protestant Epis copal cburcb, La Fayette Square, Baltimore, has been called to Bt. Paul's parish," Richmond, Va., to suc ceed the Rt. Rev. Robert Strange, Bishon coadjutor of this Diocese. Rev. Mr. Coupland is 34 years old and has been in the ministry nine yean, hav ing graduated from the Theological Seminary at Alexandria, tie is con sidered one of the most successful and promising of the younger ministers of the Episcopal church. He has recently declined calls to Ohlcsgo and Omaha and his acceptance of the Richmond call Is uncertain. VOTE OP THE STATE. Glenn's Plorsllly 49,257RepobIlcsa Qsins 11,000; Demacrstic Lois Osly 700.

Cole Is one of the new members of the cabinet, and is just closing his first year as presiding elder of the Rockingham district. He sub mitted an encouraging report and re ferred to the good work of his prede cessor on the district. In closing his remarks he referred feelingly to the loss of his son whose death occurred during the year. He spoke of the deep waters of affliction through which he bad passed and of the triumphant and peaceful death oi nis son." At Unsdllls, Ga., City Marshal Bur ton was shot and probably fatally wounded by fcaldler Branen, who escaped. There were no witnesses of the occurrence, but In a sworn state ment soon afterward Burton said it was on account of previous ill feeling on Branen s part. 1904. MOST MAINTAIN WHITE SUPREMACY. Senator Bacon Gives Warning That Effort is Being Made to Republicans South. THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. Its Repeal Weald Destroy the SectionsI Bsrrler Wonid Accept Redaction f Representation Rsther Thsa Hsve blez ro Rule la loath. Br Telegraph to tbe Hornlax Btat. . M A coir. Ga., Dec. 3. Congressman T. W. Hardwlck, of the Tenth Gaor. gia district, a few days- ago wrote a letter to Senator A. C. Bacon, asking his views on the present political situ ation. Senator Bacon replies at length: The Senator says there is an effort to republlcanize the South. He declares that white supremacy must be maintained in the South and every where; that the prosperity of the South Is due to while supremacy. He advo cates the repeal of the Fifteenth amend ment and insists that unless that shall be done the people of the South shall be forced to maintain their proposi tion oi wmte supremacy. Following Is a paragraph : "If there were nothing else of which to boast; if this were the soje achieve ment of the Democratic party In the South, the great work which It accom plished In rescuing the South from a fate worse than anarchy would earn for It and entitle it to the undying grat itude and appreciation of all those in tbe world who value and prize clvill- Ektion and all ita attendant blessings. And there are none who should be more grateful to the Democratic party for this tbaa the Republican party of tbe North, b-caute tbe Democrats In thus savin? tbe civilization of the 8outb, at the aame time also saved the Republican party from the deep dam nation' which would nave been ad judged against them through all the ages If they bad succeeded In the effort which they made to convert this whole southland into the desolation of an other Haiti." The aenator charges that the two most important offices In Georgia un der the executive depsrtment the col lector at oavannah, and the collector in Atlanta are held by negroes; that the most Important office in the ex ecuttve department in Washington, held by any one appointed from Georgia, Is that of Register of the Treasury, and held by a negro. He asserts that In tbe three cities of Bavannab, Atlanta and New Orleans there are respectively, 43, 94 and 108 negro Federal officeholders. He holds that it Is the policy of tbe Republican party to put tbe negro in positions of authority to Southern States. Near the conclusion ot the letter he sum marizes his whole proposition with thequesilon: "Shall we above ill other things stand for white supre-nscyf' and then be emphasizes his vler by citing the fact that in 1865 the negroes in the United 8tates numbered 4,000,000; In 1905 they will number more than 10,000,000; that there are child ren now born who will in their day see more tnan su,uuu,uuu oi tnem here." Rather than have negro rule, Sena tor Bacon Is willing to accept a re duction of Southern representation in the Congress of the United States.

A dispatch from Jonesboro on Friday says: A black negro by the name of Julius Mills went to the home of a white woman named Brown, about three miles west of here, between 9 and 10 o'clock last night and forced his way into the house, where there was no one ex cept the woman and her two-year old child. The woman lives alone and she begged the negro not to come into the house, but to go away. This he refused to do, but told her be was going to stay as long as he pleased and do what he pleased. The negro was drinking and had a jug of wine with him at the time. He tried to get the woman to drink with him, and after her repeatedly refusing he forced . the little child to drink and it soon fell asleep leav ing the two alone together, xne negro did not leave the house until between three and four o'clock this morning, neither would he let the woman leave. As soon as he left, however, she went to the house of a neighbor, where she still remains. She could not be seen this morning ing but was reported to be in bed,' herjeondition not dangerous though. Mrs. Brown, while not well thought of in the community, is a hard working woman and was never known to associate with or have anything to do with negroes and for the above reason the law will of course take its course if be should be found. Mills Is a worthless negro and does very little work.
