Honorable Gentlemen: As a citizen of Atlanta, I take the liberty of ad dressing you gentlemen to know If I can enlist your aid In compelling the Georgia Railway and Electric Company of our city, a corporation that has no competition, and one that Is enjoying undue prosperity, to sell six car tick ets for 26 cents. This Is the rate at which street railway companies In nearly every other large city in the United States assist those who are de pendent upon street cars as the only method of going to and from their dally work and I see no reason why the citizens of Atlanta should not en joy the same privilege.

London, Aug. 8.—America Is to fur nish another vicereine to India If cur rent talk means anything. The report seems to have good authority that the duke of Marlborough Is to succeed Lord Mlnto as viceroy. His grace, before his marriage to Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, of New York, was no different from scores of other* of young aristocrats whose main object in life seemed to be to kill time. His American wife was not satisfied to have her husband merely a duke, and after a while Imbued him with some share of her own ambition. He began his public career well down and has shown much of the Churchill genius for state affairs. Ho was seriously considered for lord lieutenant ,f Ire land by the late government, but wns considered hardly up to the .mark for that Important position at the time. He has grown since then, and It Is not at all Improbable that he will get the Indian appointment when Earl Mlnto’s time expires. He certainly will, If the efforts of his duchess, who " no mean politician, avail. MAN STRANGEL Y VANISHES AS HE LEA VES HOME TO JOIN WIFE ON A' VISIT l asking the railway company to meet such demand Is perfectly reasonable, and what they should do, and I think In the end they would be benefited; the people would always buy six tick ets at a time, thereby making It con venient for the business man, the working man, the lady shopper and all turtles concerned. Other cities have this arrangement. Why not Atlanta? I trust your honorable body tuny see lit to take up this matter nj your ear liest convenience, as It Is one In which the public Is vitally Interested. Yours truly, JAMES U. HORNE. John Bennett, of 115 Cooper street, formerly a street car conductor, ha* strangely disappeared and the police have been asked to find him. Bennett left Atlanta on July 11 with the avowed Intention of joining his wife, who several days previous had gons to Hogantvllle on a visit. When he left he had In his possession a suit case, containing clothing and other artlclea. Although he wrote to his wife a few days prior to his departure that he was coming to Hogansvllle and also told friends of this purpose, he his neyer arrived there and his wife has heard nothing further from him. What has become of the missing man le a mystery. No one haft been found who can give any Information concern ing his present whereabouts. Friends of Bennett believe hlB mind suddenly became deranged nnd that he wnndored away In this condition. After a thorough search hnd failed to disclose his whereabouts, It was de cided to appeal to the police, and this was done Friday morning. Chief Jen nings was notified of the disappearance and of the circumstances nnd he at once detailed Officer Rowan on the case. So far, however, no clew has been obtained. The case Is one of the most puzzling with which the local police havo had to deal In some time. Beseeched By the Women, Voters Vindicate Sheriff Shipp By Private Leased Wire. Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 1.—As an Indorsement of the lynching of Ed Johnson, a negro, a few months'ago, Sheriff J. F. Shipp, who had the man In custody, has been elected by a majority of from 1,700 to 1,000 votes. Shipp is under orders to appear before the United States . supreme court for contempt, as a result of the lynching. The Republicans, In their campaign against him, tried to avoid the race Issue, but It would not down, and the reeult shows that practically the only votes against Shipp were cast by negroes. One of the features of the election was the part that the white wom en of the county took in It Almost without exception, they worked for Shipp, beseeching the m.en of the county to re-elect him as a vindication of the stand he took In the Johnson case against negro criminals of the Johnson type.

Speculation a Curse. So far as speculation In cotton fu tures Is concerned, we do not believe that It makes any difference whether It Is through bucket shops or so-called legitimate exchanges, feeling as we do that It Is one of the greatest curses placed In the path of the Southern cot ton growers and any allied Southern interest. It was these allied Interests which organlxed the Southern Cotton Association: It Is they that must main tain It for their future prosperity. There Is no prohibition against any nffleer or offfeers or members of the Southern Cotton Association trading for themselves or others In cotton fu tures, but we, your committee, believe a* our states have to establish rules of jaw because of public policy, It Is the soundest public policy that this asso ciation condemn In the strongest lan guage possible dealing In futures for themselves or others on the part of an" officer or officers or employee* of tht association, or being In any way by the owning of stock or otherwise Interested In any concern dealing In cotton fu tures, buying or selling same. 8trong Condemnation. • Mr. Cheatham, the secretary, having admitted to your committee such deal ing In the name of and for Michael O’Orady and P. A. Lee, comes within this rule, and such action on his part, while an officer of this association, meets our strongest disapproval and condemnation. Your committee further find no reasonable excuse for or reason for the use of, by him, of the word "secretary" after hi* name, signed to checks' In the traneactlona, but be lieve It to have been misleading and a wrong agatnit the association, whose secretary he was, and this meet* the same disapproval andf condemnation is above; applying this same rule to Mr. A.

They Insist that even In the event ot the troops having regained control of the fortifications, no claim has been made by the government that the Vis- trail, Puakur, Rabotschl, Ingenler and Mars craws have either been subdued or surrendered. It Is pointed out that In the event of the Asia reaching the Islands near Hel singfors serious trouble for the gov ernment must begin. In St. Petersburg the situation Is tense.

Three great fires now raging In the city add to the general excitement. One of the fires Is on Vastlll Ostrova and two others In the direction of the Narva gate. Each Is thought to be th* work of revolutionaries. A message from Moscow says that an attempt was mad* yesterday to blow up the Island headquarters of the po lice, but that It was not successful.

Th* war ship Is In the roadstead at Reval, and the members of the mutinous crew are In Irons. A courtmartlal has been or dered, and they will be tried at once and executed. Loyal men on the Pawyat regained control of the ship at sea after th* captain and four officers had been killed. When the ship reached Reval a detachment of troops was called for, three mutinous officers wire put In Irons and the hostile crew disarmed. To Call Llnevltch. Notwithstanding the capture of the mutineers on the Pamyat, very disqui eting reports from Reval, to tho effect that there la a serious uprising In the town, are current. One report today says that General Llnevltch, who had command of th* Russian forces In Manchuria, will be put In charge of the army at home, with the hope of restoring something like proper discipline In the ranks.

When she had seated herself she said: "My husband Is a murderer. I want you to put It In the paper. He has driven me away from home, and I want the people to know that he murdered a convict In South Carolina aeven years ago." She spoke without a trace of emo tion.
