Has Special to The Oeorginn. Macon, Ga., Nov. 80.—Ben L. Jonea, on* of Macon’s most strenuous and most successful cltlxens, has again won out. with the city council eleven to one against him. As a result of his victory, the city treasury will receive In taxes from $5,000 to $8,000 additional every year from one concern. Announcement was made today that Me. Jones’ suit to compel the city to collect from Major J. F. Hanson's Bibb Manufacturing Company back taxes fbr many years and the same amount of taxes that Is paid the state and county, had been settled, nnd It was settled with Mr. Jones dictating the term*. This means that the old contract be tween the city and Major Hanson, whereby the Bibb Manufacturing Com pany was exempted from paying taxes on Its mlllion-dollar cotton mills, It acknowledged to be what city attor neys for years past have declared null and void. Dates Many Years Back. For years this contract has been Rnnquo's ghost In Macon politics. Each year efforts have been made to have council compel Major Hanson to pay taxes on the assessment placed upon his mills by the assessors, but nttnr nays have alw-ays sprung the old con tract and council has refused to repu- dlate It. While aldermen have admit ted that It wasn’t worth the paper It was written on, they believed Macon was morally bound to recognise It, for It Was always claimed It was made In good faith. The council has always taken the position that It was not up to council to repudiate a contract made by * former council thirty years ago, but that If the contract was Illegal, a citizen could begin mandamus proceedings against the city compelling the collection of taxes, and In this way the city would be relieved of the responsibility. That citizen, however, never ap peared who was willing to go to court nnd pay expenses out of his own pock et. until Mr. Jdnes decided that the company had escaped paying taxes long enough. Filed Mandamus Suit. Then he got busy. His attorneys Died a mandamus suit against the city. City Attorney Mlnter Wimberly, who had told council several times that the contract was not binding, was placed In the position of defending a suit against the city that he' and other city attorneys said would make the city col. lect taxes. But the case never came to trial. When that time approached It was made known to Mr. Jones that the ofn. clals of the Bibb Manufacturing Com pany desired that the case be settled. Mr. Jones was told to name the terms and he did. Ever since the contract has been In force the Bibb Manufacturing Compa ny has paid taxes on amounts ranging from $1,000 to $300,000. For many years the mills were assessed at about $60.- 000, when they are said to bo worth a million. Then this year Major Han son agreed to have the assessment In creased to $300,000. • All the time that taxes on a small assessment were being paid the city the etate and county aeeessment was considerably larger. While the city as- sessment was 360,000 the company was paying the etate and county taxes on about $700,000. In the settlement Mr. Jones Insisted that the city assessment be the same as that of the state and county. This year the company paid taxes to the state and county on $710,000, and that la what the city will receive taxes on, or an Increase of -$5,000 a year. This much will help to make up for the $80,000 a year loet by the barroomc going out of buslnese. Didn’t Claim Everything. While Mr. Jonea' eult was for the collection of the back taxes, which It was claimed Major Hanson's company had not paid for many years, and which were declared to amount to fortune, Mr. Jones dl^l not Insist on this In the settlement. “Council fought this suit eleven to one,” said Mr. Jones, "and ahowed'no disposition to co-operate with me for the city's benefit. When this disposi tion was shown I did not Insist on the paymtnt of back taxes. But I have Shown that the contract with the city, about which so much has been said, la not worth the paner It is written on. and I have caused the city to receive taxes on the same amount aaaessed by the state and county.” This Is not the first time Mr. Jones has gone into the courts for the city's benefit. Once when he was an aider- man council voted him down eleven to one, and he got a decision from the supreme court In his favor. 4= If) EX-GO!, TERRELL VICE-PRESIDENT OF Former Governor Is Honor ed by Baptists in Convention.

A search Is now being made for the missing lamps. In the hope that tltey may develop a clew, hut sti far no trace of them has been found. The breakage wni discovered by a mun named Edmonson, who wee walk ing along the railroad track toward Do. reville. As soon as Edmonson found the lock broken and the switch turned, he started on a run to the Doravllle of fice, knowing that the midnight train for Washington would be along with in a few minutes. At the ofllce, Ed monson quickly notified Luther Beat- tie, the agent. Beattie hurriedly seized Ms signal light and ran down the track as fast as he could, his heart In a Sut ter In the realization that a train load of human freight wa* rapidly bearing down on the open switch. It I* some distance from the little Doravllle depot to the end of the elding, and, although Beattie ran himself al most out of breath, he could not com pete with the swiftly flying fist mall, nnd lost the race. While still some dis tance from the open switch, the frantic agent heard the ahrlek of the engine whistle of No. $6 and saw the big electric headlight on the ponderous lo comotive suddenly come Into view. With cold drop* of perspiration ooxlng from hi* bared forehead, the agent ildly waved his red light to and fro •roes the track, but to no avail. He was too late. Crashed Into 8idlng. The next Instant the rumbling train took the aiding and a terrlSc crash fol lowed. as the big engine tore Ita way Into the empty freight car* and con verted them Into, kindling wood. The train hod Just passed Chamblee, about * mile this side of Doravllle, and Engineer Askew bad It under good con. trol. The approach to the siding is a long atretch of straight track, and. In the brilliant Illumination of the electric headlight, the engineer could see ahead of him the open switch. At the same moment he discerned the swaying Ball of red some distance beyond, signaling to him the danger. Askew reverted hi* engine’s* quickly as possible, but not in time to prevent the wreck. As the awakened by the shock and knew noth- ing of the accident at all, sleeping soundly during all of the time of the delay. The Pullman* were able to proceed on the Journey to Washing ton. and It is probable some of the pas sengers did not leurn of the wreck until Wednesday or possibly will not know of It until they read the account in the newspapers. It was at first thought several peo ple had been killed and the Atlanta of ficial* of the rood were promptly notl- Hed. The wreck train was Immediately hurried to the scene, carrying Dr. Thomas H. Hancock and Dr, J. D. Man- get. Southern railway surgeons. They gave Immediate attention to Engineer Askew and he was brought hock to At. lanta by the physicians at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday morning and sent to his home three miles from the city, on the Hapevllle road. A relief engine wee also sent to the scene. The two Pullmans were pulled back to Chamblee and were then taken on to Washington. As the wreck wa* on the siding tho main line was blocked only a short time. The wreckage was all cleared nwny Wednesday morning.
