In view of the evidence and the verdict of the Jury, I. feel that six years at hard labor Is the highest sentence I can give you.” Shurley was convicted of man slaughter, the Jury rendering a verdict after nearly three hours' deliberation.

Augusta, Ga., June 16.—Columbus gets the next president of the league of Georgia Municipalities and Athens the next annual meeting. This was decided yesterday afternoon at the closing session, which was held In the pavilion at the Locks.

A very high honor was paid Mayor Allen, of Augusta, by the members of the league, making him a life member without dues. This waa done by the unanimous consent of the members of the body, There was a gsnsral discussion on the matter of extending the league Into a tti-atate league, but 11 waa decided that this would be unwise, and the res olution that was presented by Mayor Chappell, of Columbus, waa laid on the table. Mayor James Woodward, Atlanta, led the flght against the ex tension, but he claimed that It would not hurt Atlanta nor some of the other large cities In the state, but that the little follows would suffer from It. May or Woodward waa sustained In his ar gument by Dr. J. B. Morgan, of Augus ta, and a number of the mayors from the smaller cities, they claiming that If the league was expanded they would not be able to stay In It. Dr. J. B. Morgan, of Augusta, pre sented a resolution asking that the league go on record as favoring the Introduction of Immigrants Into the state.

Not until October I will there be any more effort made to aecure the 8160,000 which remains to be raised to secure the half million dollar guarantee fund. It waa ao decided at the meeting of tbe committee of fifty held In the Chamber of Commerce Thursday afternoon. Thla Important step was taken after careful consideration of all points Involved and It waa the consensus that to continue the work during the dull aummer days when half of Atlanta waa out of the city, when business wll) be at Its low tide and enthusiasm on the wane, would be an Irreparable mistake, the autumn the work will be taken up with new life and puahed to speedy success^. The meeting Thursday was well at tended. After a short address. Chair man R. F. Maddox requeued Secre tary Walter G. Cooper to read two communications, one from himself 8. M. Inman, asking for an opinion on putting off furthar exposition work un til the fall and the other Mr. Inman' reply. Hugh .T. Inman, W. L. Peel, James W. English, Sr., Governor Terrell and Asa G. Candler made short addresses on the subject and all were of tVie opinion that the matter should be laid over. President J. WIHe Pope explained that he had not been In attendance at many of the meetings because of bus iness, but that In the fall he would be able to give to the exposition much of his time. Mr. Inman’s Letter. It waa then unanimously resolved that the canvass be suspended until a meeting of the committee to be held October 3, In accordance with Mr. In man's communication, which reads: "Atlanta, Ga., June 11,. 1906.—Hon. Robert F. Maddox, chairman. My Dear Mr. Maddox: In response to your very kind letter of June I, I beg to say that I am sincerely of tbe opinion that your committee should suspend the canvass for subscriptions to the exposition fund until next autumn. The season of dull- 1 ness. In many lines of business, will come with the mid-summer heat. Many of the oltlsena, and no doubt many of the members of your committee, will be away on aummer vacations. "When we consider the work your committee has done In the short time since the canvass was begun, how near ly 2240,600 private subscriptions, have been secured, and the addition of some 2210,000 promised by the city and soma of our public utilities, without asking any of the steam railways and some of the public utilities to assist, I consider It the most successful work ever ac compllshed In Atlanta. In so short i time. It speaks volumes for the devo tion, energy and efficiency of your com mittee and the progressive spirit of Atlanta. I do not believe aa much could have been done In any other Southern city. Your success Is a prophecy of what you can accomplish next autumn, when the busy season Is on and Atlanta takes up the line of march again, with her usual vigor and determination. I am In favor of the exposition In 1610. If It were next year, I would op pose It; for your people have all they can do, and-their houses are full. The Immense sums paid out by the rail roads around Atlanta, together with abnormally good times, hava produced a condition of feverish activity; but five years may find a different condi tion. "A presidential election year often makes a change. It Is almost a set tled fact that Mr. Bryan may be the nominee of the Democratic party. The tariff and other Issues will come to the front. History may repeat Itself., To prepare for dull times In times of pros- irity Is as wise aa to prepare for war tlmea of peace. With the money secured for this great movement, 1 think Atlanta will have a source of hope and encouragement that will help tide over any depression. "But, suppose the depression does not come; one leading objection to the movement Is, that there Is not enough labor for the present active demands. In reply It can be said that scarcely a nail need be driven until the summer of 1908—two years hence. By that time the labor supply will Increase— and even at the worst. It will not be a serious mistake to furnish plenty of work and good wages to the mechanics snd laborers of Georgia. “Some objectors have expressed the fear of mlamanagement, debt and dis grace; but I have confidence enough In the wisdom and judgment of your com mittee, and thoae who are to handle the enterprise, to predict success Instead of failure. "The South Is raffidly coming Into Its own. The enormous Increase of over two thousand millions In hsr re sources In the past fifteen years proves this. And the city giving nn exposi tion. Illustrating thla great develop ment, which may be said to have Just begun, will bring honor and profit to herself, and a blessing to our whole oountry. "1 agree, then, with the suggestion that the matter of the remainder of the Subscriptions rest In abeyance till next fall; then, with a short and vlgoroua canvass, let the people of Atlanta de termine whether this splendid enter prise be carried to success, or whether Atlanta, for the first time, will peas by great opportunlty.^ Truly^rs^ Wills Pope Mads Msmbsr. One of the features of the meeting waa the making of J. Wills Pope member of the committee. Mr. Pope accepted the nomination for the presi dency of the exposition conditionally several months ago, but has not been a member of the committee. The condi tions were that It be left to the stock holders, thoae who subscribe to the ex position, whether he shall be the per manent president after the subscrip tions art all In. Mr. Pope made a strong speech, declaring he was high ly In favor of and believed In the suc cess of the groat enterprise. There are still three members to be elected before the committee Is com plete. Theee will be elected probably in the fell. The attendance at the. meeting Thursday was noteworthy. There were forty-six members of the committee, out of which ten were ah- TO COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO 00 TO WASHINGTON. Fifteen of the Leading Financiers of the State Are Selected.
