Although about half of the votes registered had been cast at 3 o'clock, end probably two-thirds of those who will vote, the result In nearly all of the enuncllmanlc and aldermanic races, where there Is opposition. Is extremely doubtful. The candidates were at It early In the morning, end their friends joined In the festivities as soon as the polls opened at 7 o’clock In the morning. There was considerable buttonholing and, despite the fact that the races are very close, but little betting Is reported. The most doubtful race In the whole city probably Is that for* council In the Seventh where George H. Wade and F. J. Spratllng are the candidates. In the fourth, there Is a three-cornered race, the only one, the leading candi dates being B. Lee Smith and Warren D. White. The interest all over the city centers principally over the race for alderman In the Third ware. C. L. Chosewood, who Is now a councilman, Is opposed by Frank A. Pittman, until recently building Inspector. No line cam be secured on the vote on the question of popular elections and on majority rule at primaries. The latter will probably be voted favorably, but on the former proposition there is much doubt. The figures don’t tell much, but they are more eloquent than words can be In this Instance. FIRST WARD.

Mrs. Ray was proprietress of a fash lonable boarding place, known as "Sue cess Inn." Murdock, who boarded there, was a green grocer and con ducted stalls In the city market. He had been paying attentions to the widow and lately had been drinking, Is said, very heavily. Jealousy and whisky are said to have furnished the combination that fired the brain of the man Into committing the tragedy. Murdock called Mrs. Ray to his room and the shooting followed. There were many guests In the house at the time of the shooting and much excitement prevailed for a time. Murdock was a former policeman of Asheville.

Twenty bodies havo beon removed from the wreckage, but the debris Is only half cleared away. Sickening scenes of mutilation at tended the work of recovering the dead and injured. The head of one little girl was found fifty yardB from the wreck, apparently severed t>y gloss from the body. The features were scarcely marred.

SUBSTITUTES ARE ALL DEFEATED It Provides Against Use of Passes By Office-Holders and Candidates. After fighting for more than 25 years to secure legislation against tho free pass evil in the state of Georgia, Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, scored a decisive victory in the house of representatives Wed nesday morning, when his anti- pass measure was passed by a vote of 164 to 0. Thn victory of tha gentleman from Bibb came only after a struggle In the house which lasted from Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock until II o’clock on Wednesday, and only after two other bill, which were framed for a similar purpose, and which he opposed, were defeated as Inadequate by large ma jorities. According to tho terms of the bill passed by tho house, only state, county, municipal and national office holders In this state, parties who are candl dates for such offices and delegates to political conventions are prohibited from accepting free pauses from rail road companies or any other courte sies from any other company or cor poration exercising any public fran chise In this state. Railroad Attorney!. It was amended by the house so that attorneys who ore office holders In this state and at the same time legal rep resentatlves for any such corporations shall not ueo their passes while holding office, except when going to and from points In this state In the discharge of some duty for tho company they rep resent. The bill was also amended eo that it becomes effective January 1, 1908. Tha bill provldos that any corpora tion violating Its provisions shall be subjected to a flno of 31,000, and tho Judge of any court In this state in which tha corporation Is convicted Is empowerod to enter judgment against 111.- corporation for Hint iunmint It Is further provided that should any of the class of persons prohibited from accepting free passes or other courtesies from railroads or other cor porations be found guilty of vlolatlnr the provisions of the bill, they shall bo punlBhed os provided In section 1039 of the code. Substitute* Defeated. The bill of Mr. Hall passed tho house after a substitute offered by Mr. Perry, of Hall, and Mr. Jackson, of Jones, which prohibited any person except bona fide employees of railroads from accepting posies, hod been voted down, and after the substitute recommended by the minority, and which made about forty exceptions, had been defeated by vote of 103 to 67. After the defeat of tho minority sub stitute opposition to tho Hall hill fell fiat and when the question of Its pass age was put to the house not a dis senting voice was raised. Mr. Hall’s fight for the passage of his bill has been picturesque In the extreme. Throughout the struggle his strong personality has cast a menacing shadow over those who were contend ing for other anti-pass bills than his own, and Ills ability to overwhelm his opponents and wrest victory from de feat lias boen clearly shown. Early In the session Mr. Hall Is sued his defi to those who opposed his bill and openly declared that It was his anti-pass bill or none. Thera was Btrong opposition to his bill and many leaders In the houso arrayed themselves against him In the effort to pass a more stringent anti- pass measure, but declaring that the people of Georgia demanded nothing more than a law that will preclude the' possibility of Influencing office hold ers by glfta from corporations, the gentleman from Bibb waged his fight and won what ho terms ’’the most glorious victory In his career." Opening of House. Following the call of the roll the bouae resumed consideration of the anti-pass bills, the first business In order being the perfecting of the sub stitute recommended for passage by the minority. An amendment offered by Mr. Hines, ' Clayton, to allow newspapers to ac cept transportation In exchange for ad vertising, was voted down. The amendment of Mr. Bell, of Ful ton, to allow firemen and policemen to ride free on street and electric cars In cities, was adopted by a vote of 23 82.

A little boy up In Ringgold—he's only years old—knows all about that hair-raising chase, and he sends a quarter of his own money.

An Indictment was returned from the Perry county grand Jury today agulnst tho Southern railroad for doing busi ness without a license, and Solicitor Fritz Thompson states that he will en force the law and that a bill of Indict ment will be returned against the road for every day that business Is trans acted without the authority of tho state. It Is reported on tho streets of Murl’iil that the stiitl-m ligent nnd the crew of a local freight train are to bo arrested and the /80 miles of track tied up. Tills, it is suid. Will re.t in terfere with Interstate commerce in any way but It will work great harm to ninny towns along too line. Hamburg, Marlon, Hcotts, Newborn*-, Greensboro and Sawyersvllle would bo affected. Business men and the public are much itterested. While Solicitor Thompson hes little to say, ha declares that he will do his whole duty to seo that the law on the state's statute books Is enforced. Among the attorneys at Marlon Is IV. Jeffries, line of the lending state repre sentatives of the Southern railway. Although Governor Comer and Vice President E. L. Russell, of the Mobile and Ohio, representing the Southern railway, met again In conference to day. It is a possibility tlmt It will be come necessary to call out tho military. Serious trouble Is bound to arise If the mutter Is not settled soon. If tho Southern road, whoso license to do business in Alabama, was • revoked, should stop running trains, the angry peoplo would make tho calling out of the troops necessary to preserve or der There are also rumors today of etrlke of railway employees.

Beyond this President Finley de clined to commit himself. MAY CANCEL CHARTER OF ROCK I8LAND ROAD. Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 7.—Notwith standing the fact that acting Governor Flndall said that the state of Arkan- s would take no action looking to forfeiture of the Rock Island rail road's right to do business In the state until after the hearing set for October 3,-on the temporerv restraining -,rd-i Issued by l.’ntted States Circuit Judge Willis Vandevantor, at St. Paul, the qtdrm of protect which reached the capital after the news of the Injunction spread over the state has caused' a radical change In the situation. - At torney General Kirby, who lias just returned to the city after an absence of a week, waa called Into a conference state officials to discuss the sltua- Comptroller-General Out lines Condition of tlic, State’s Finances. - Governor Hoke Smith sent to tha general assembly Wednesday afternoon j a -message outlining his views upon raising revenues for the state, and which was read In the houso at the afternoon session. Governor Smith’advocates the pro posed Increase in tax on fertilizers, as the most feasible method at tills time. , He asks that he be given power to use , funds In the treasury, not otherwise ap- , proprlated, for the benefit of the public j schools. A letter from Comptroller . General Wright, showing condition of J the state's finances* Is appended. ' Tha 1 message and letter follow: The governor's message follows: To the General Assembly of the State , of Georgia: Permit me to bring to your atten- , tlon certain facts connected with the | raising of revenue for the state. 1 1. Tho constitution permits a tax levy of C mlfls. Tho tax act for 1907 I provides for 1 mill and 70-100 to be j levied for school purposes, 3 mills and i 8-100 to bo levied for general purposes i and so much In addition thereto as 1 may be necessary to meet the 3100,000 j which we nr« required to pay by Janu- I ary 1, 1909, upon the public debt. Th# I total of these sums will not exhaust J tho 0 mills permitted by the constltu- ] tlon. The full levy of 5 mills will rats# nearly $50,000 In addition to the J amount covered by the tax act of 1907. ] Jn view of the condition of the treasury J I suggest that the tax uct for 1907 be J so amended as to permit a levy of the | full sum of 5 mills. I suggest also that an occupation or license tax be placed upon the trans portation companies and street car companies of Georgia to an amount not less than l per cent of their gross earn- j lngs. The gross earnings of the rail- i road companies of Georgia for the year \ ending June 30, 1907, were over 137,- 000,000. * Their net earnings were over $10,000,000. These are the figures as | shown by their reports to the Georgia railroad commission. I urge this tax | as especially proper In view of the fact that for years past the railroad com- ! panics and street car companies have j not paid an ad valorum tax In any way | In proportion to their true market . value. 1 see no prospect to obtnln from J them tax** based on true market value of their property for the present year. J Merchants, lawyers, doctors and even i those conducting penny shows pay an | occupation or license tax In this state. ; My Information Is that on occupation or license tax Is levied in many states upon transportation and street caf i companies. I believe that tnx Is just and should raise nearly $400,000 during the next year. I suggest that It be lev- Contlnued on Pag# Seven. Uon yesterday. After Investigating th* ; matter Kirby said that fighting tho . injunction petition In the federal court by the Rock Island was ground for j cancelling the road's right to do busi ness in the state and that forfeiture proceedings should bo taken at once and the penalty of $1,000 a day be as sessed. Secretary of State Ludwig is out of the city but Acting Secretary 1 McHaney says that upon rendition of the written opinion from the attorney general he will Issue a proclamation cancelling the company’s right to do business in the state.
