THE LINES ILLEGAL
The Supreme Court Reverses the
Decision
IN THE RIDGE VALLEY CASES
Judge’Janes* Dectelon is Reversed On the
Ground That Lines Were Not
Lawfu ly Defined.
The celebrated Ridge Valley “fence
law” caejs have been settled.
As stated in yesterday’s Tribune,
the decision of Judge C. G. Janes has
been reversed.
The case has been one of general
interest all over the state, and Hon.
Seaborn Wright and Judge George
Harris have contested every inch of
ground.
Judge Harris applied to Judge
Janes in Polk county for an injunc
tion in the case, which was granted.
Afterwards, at a hearing of the
case, Judge Janes sustained the plea
and made the injunction permanent.
Mr. Wright carried the case to the
supreme court, and this decision set
tles it in favor of Mr. Wright and his
clients.
A sensational feature of the case is
the opinion that this renders invalid
every act of the board in the chang
ing of district lines, and that the
fence law is of no effect in Floyd
county except in Ridge Valley and
Van’s Valley, where elections were
held.
But here is the decision:
Howell et al. vs. Kinney et al. Before
Judge Janes. Floyd superior court.
Lumpkin, J.—l. While the determin
ation by an ordinary, or board of county
commissioners, in proceedings to change
militia district lines, cannot be directly
reviewed by certiorari or otherwise, it is
within the power of the superior court,
or of this-eourt, if such proceedings, or
the final action thereon, be for any rea
son void, to so declare, when the ques
tion of their validity is properly pre
sented tor adjudication,
2. A petition for a change in the line
between two militia districts should dis
tinctly specify the location, of the new
line desired, and the commissioners ap
pointed under 484 of the code should, if
they deem such change necessary and ex
pedient, “lay out and define” the new
line, and, in their report, so describe the
same that its location may be readily
ascertained.
3. The law does uot contemplate
that in proceedings to change aline
between two militia • districts, an
isolated portion of the territory of
one of them, not contiguous to the
other, should be tiansferred to the
latter: nor that, as a result of a given
change in z lines, two portions of a
district should be left entirely segre
gated from each other.
4. Inasmuch as none of the alleged
changes in the lines of the militia dis
tricts involved in this case were legally
made, and the petitioners’ right to an in
junction necessarily depended upon the
validity of such changes, it was error to
grant the injunction.
Au igement reversed.
Seaborn Wright, for plaintiffs in error.

THE FLOATING VOTE.
Something Needed to Prevent Such Pro
c€edi< gs a* These.
There is no doubt that hundreds of
Georgia and Alabama negroes yotid
in Chattanooga yesterday.
The plan was to vote them on regis
tration certificates that bad been
“doctored” and on fraudulent certifi
cates. Many are said to have regis
tered under false addresses during the
last registration. They had been
purchased and are here to deliver the
goods. A part of the plan was to vote
them on certificates of negroes who it
was known would vote for Bryan,
Taylor and Moon, as many did. Per
haps a majority of these certificates
had been since the last election in the
custody of the republican committee.
A number of messages arrived Mon
day from Alabama and Georgia,warn
ing the democrats that negroes were
beaded that way in large numbers.
Here is one of them to a prominent
democrat:
A Warning Telegram.
Summerville, Ga., Nov. 2, 1896.
Hundreds of negroes went from this
portion of the state last week. I un
derstand they registered in Chatta
nooga; will vote here and go there and
go there and vote. Keep yourself
posted on all reads running from Ala
bama and Georgia.

TO ALL EUROPEAN PORTS.
Savannah Will Have a Direct Line of
steamers—Arrangements Perfected.
Savannah, Nov. 3. Arrangements
have been perfected between President
H. M. Comer cf the Central of Georgia
Railway company, and William John
son & Co., of Liverpool, Englaud, one
of the largest firms of ship owners and
ship charterers, by which Savannah
will have a direct line of steamers to
European ports. Johnson & Co. are to
open an office in this city Nov. 15 for
the purpose of arranging all preliminary
details for the business.
v The company, which is to have charge
of this shipping, will be incorporated as
the Georgia Export and Import com
pany, with a capital of $50,000 to start
with aud the privilege of increasing it
to $1,000,000, the object being ulti
mately that the company shall own
ships as well as to charter and operate
them. The direct reason for this move
fnent is the disadvantage to .which Sa
vannah has been put by reason of high
ocean freight rates, as compared with
rates from other ports, the result of
which has been that Savannah has re
ceived less than her proportion of the
cotton this season, from which the rail
roads in this section, as well as the port,'
have been sufferers, and this movement
is contemplated to be for the benefit of
all.
The ships will work directly with all
the lines centering here andon the same
conditions, and it is arranged that, if
necessary, there will be enough of them
to handle all the cargoes that are offer
ing for any foreign ports Another ob
ject in view, now that this plan hat
been accomplished, is the direct expor
tation of western grain through Savan
nah, this port having had heretofore all,
the other advantages for such ship
ments except the proper ocean rates.
FRENCH RIVERS BOOMING.
An Alarming Rise In the Seine and Rhone.
Great Damage to Property.
Paris, Nov. 3. —Telegrams received
from the departments bring news of
floods and of an alarming rise in the
rivers. Enormous damage to property
has been dene, bat no fatality has as
yet been reported. The river Seine is
still rising, and is at the fl jod stage.
The authorities have dispatched to
Comps and to Villabregues the artillery
wagons from Nimes in order to assist in
the work of relief. The river Rhone
has burst its banks at Lausou, which is
now isolated. The only communication
through considerable districts is by boat.
Troops have left Avignon to assist the
rescuers on the banks of the Rhone.
The Seine has fallen slightly but a
further nise in the river is feared. The
news received from Lyons Is most dis
quieting. Many houses are flooded at
Feuvillesur-Saone, and the river is cov
ered with furniture. The barracks at
St. Lambert is surrounded by soldiers.
Half of the tewn is inundated, and nu
merous factories in Lyons and vicinity
are dosed.
INDIA IMPORTING WHEAT.
Thirty Thousand Tons Purchased For Dis
tricts Affected by the Famine.
Calcutta, Not. 3.—The -arrival of
thousands of tons of California wheat
at this port has had the effect of caus
ing a reduction in prices iu some parts
of the districts affected by the famine.
It is believed that a total of 30,000 tons
of wheat have been purchased for im
portation into India.
The government is doing everything
possible to alleviate the distress. It has
employed 53,800 persons on works which
have been started iu order to furnish
work for those who. without it, would
probably starve to death. The effects of
the failure of the crops are not felt as
seriously now as they will be later. The
worst distress will be felt in the middle
of December.
