There Wont be Another Dull Moment Between This and Monday Night HACK LOADS Os Voters Are Being Legislat ed bv Certain Corpora- . tions, So It is Said. SOUTHERN RAILWAY Preparing to Take a Hand in Next Monday’s Fight, the Same as Two Years Ago. For several weeks past the Legislative race has been dragging along in away, notwithstanding the large number of can didates in the field, that gavelittle promise or interest or enthusiasm. The war ex citement and the gubernatorial contest -st-m -.l to have usurped the public's at tention. But at last the 'Legislative can didates are warming u>p to it, and it is now certain that there will be all sorts of fun before the votes are in Monday night. it might be unfair to the various can dadati s to make any predictions at this stage of the game, though it is only stating what everyone knows when it is said there have been some marked changes in the standing of the «andidates since the race opened. Some who were considered favor ites at the start have fallen back, and now tile prediction is freely made that some of the latest entries are most to >be feared. Be that as it may, all -of the candidates are at work, ami it is safe to say none of .them will let any grass grow under their feet between now and (Monday. And nearly all of them have energetic friends at work, loo; though, be it said to their credit, very little money is so far being used by them. True, some of the candidates are not fail ing to see that those whom they count are rcgisU-itd, but this is about as far as it goes. There is another feature to the race, however, that has attracted much atten tion and called forth much comment during the past few days. Throughout yesterday, for instance, hacks were going back and forth from the court house loaded with voters as on election day. But these were only -being prepared for the fight that is to, come on Monday. (And the report is that certain influences are at work to sjeq that they are registered. To ibo quite plain, it is understood that certain factory owners have not forgotten a certain gen tleman’s services in introducing a child labor hill in the last Legislature. It is even intimated that they fear the gent'le imnn may try it again if he is returned to the House. So as many factory operatives as possible are being registered for the occasion. And in this connection there is some more interesting talk about a certain portion of this factory vote. Much of it. of course, is iDemocratic to the core, but the records show that a considerable num b, r of the very people who are being registered in droves, as it wehe, for par ticipation in Monday’s primary, voted the Republican ticket in the last national ejection. Many of them openly avowed their support of McKinley and boldly voted against the Democratic nominees. Whether or not the point will be made on them next •Monday remains to be seen, but a great many active Democrats assert most posi tively that same of these votes will be challenged, and unless the voter can show a clean 'Democratic record, or. at least, good intentions for the future, he will be turned down. .But there is a far more interesting re port current with reference to corporation influence in the Legislative primary. And there need be no surprise if quite as much or more indignation is caused by it this time than before. It is stated on the best of authority that the Southern Railway is showing its fine Italian hand once more in Bibb county politics. The Southern, it will be recalled, has the credit for defeat ing a certain prominent candidate in the last Legislative race, and it is generally understood by those who are doing active political work this year that the Southern is after the same gentleman’s scalp again. This has naturally aroused his friends, as well as a great many more who were not 'before his avowed supporters. The people now see just what The News has been trying to show them for the past year or two—that the Southern Railway does at tempt to influence the politics of the com munities through which it runs. This was ek arly demonstrated in .Macon two years ago. when the Southern’s heelers issued a circular on the day of the primary calling upon railroad employes, as they valued their jobs, to vote against a certain candi date. No circulars have been issued this year, so far as The News can learn, but it is said a thorough understanding exists, and a good deal of quiet work is being done by the Southern's tools, large and small. "Whether or not this work will defeat the gentleman whom the Southern has marked for the slaughter remains to be seen. Some say the Southern’s influence in Bibb county politics is too strong to be overcome. Others say the Southern’s fight on the candidate in question will prove a boomerang, as It almost did before, for there are a great many people who do not like the idea of a giant railroad monopoly dictating who shall and who shall not be sent to the Legislature. Thinking people naturally ask, "Why Should a railroad want to pack the Legislature?" And the answer is sometimes seen in the character of legislation that emanates from that body wherever and whenever railroad in terests are put in the balance alongside of the public's interests. It is not, understood that anyone is run ning as an anti-railroad candidate, but. somehow, the Southern seems to be sus picious of one of the entries, and it is be lieved has directed all of Its forces against him. It is, of course, not fighting openly, for that would surely elect him. but enough is known to show that the South ern ts getting in a good deal of quiet work. This knowledge has. It is understood, sent several prominent and active workers over to the side of the candidate In ques 'mn. and at least three or four of them have declared openly that they will fight ' igorously for the object of the Southern’s wrath, whereas before they had intended to remain somewhat passive. Os all the interesting fights that the Legislative race now promises the one between the South ern and its intended victim, therefore, promises the most interest—and the most hair. And so the race goes. What heretofore promised to be a dull affair now gives evi dence of impending fun. And what lends an additional element of Interest to the race as they come down the home stretch is the fact that the city ring is all split up this time —for the first time, it may be believed, in quite a while. Not that there is any ill-feeling in that quarter—thej’ never get mad with each other, you know —but merely a sort of general understand ing that every member of the “old guard" is free to vote and do as he pleases this time, tas a consequence, some who look upon the City Hall as the Mecca of their political hopes and rewards are now work ing for one candidate, while some are for another and so on. This state of affairs also makes the race the more uncertain. Heretofore whenever the tiger became aroused from six to eight hundred votes went pretty nearly straight for the chosen candidal s. But Tammany stfems to have suspended the rules for this particular election ami its numbers will be allowed to have a temporary political outing, dur ing which they can think and vote for themselves—just for the novelty of the thing, as it were. So that no three candidates can count with any certainty on the solid vote of the “old guard." A squad or two will vote for this candidate ami some for that—unless, of course, the call to arms is suddenly sounded, which is not likely at this stage of the game. There' are a good many other political rumors on tap, some of which will be given in this column tomorrow afternoon. Look out for them. And, in the meantime,, don’t forget to register before tomorrow night. The Ex-Politician. A Texas Wonder. HALL'S GREAT DISCOVERY.

Lytle, Ga., June 2. —Investigation dis closed a startling plot here yesterday. Four privates of the Third Wisonsin be came suddenly ill immediately after eat ing pie given them by visitors. The stom ach pump was used to save their lives. Strychnine was found. The authorities are investigating. The adjoining regi ments, mobbed the ipie venders on hearing the reports, and they fled for their lives. Frank Boley, a private of the Fifteenth Illinois 'lnfantry, died of pneumonia early Monday morning. His body was sent to his home at Pekin, 111. This makes the third death in the regiment with in ten days. The Twelfth New York infantry was startled Saturday over a reported attempt to poison the regiment. Five men are se riously ill from eating canned corn beef. USED A KNIFE. Preacher Inflicted Wound From Which His Victim Died. Louisville, Ky., June 2. —Rev. H. L. Glasgow and James Terry, while visiting at the home of Tom -Alcor.n, at Mount Washington in Bullitt county, yesterday became involved in a dispute. Terry raised a chair, when the latter plunged a knife into Terry's body, inflicting a wound from which he died at 4 o’clock this morning. Glasgow was a travelinfl minister'of some ability and was well esteemed. He alle ges self-defense. Terry was married and leaves a wife and five children. No one knows how the trouble started. MORTUARY REPORT Shows a Gain of One in the Population of Macon. The -mortuary report for the month of May in Macon shows forty-four deaths. There were fory-five births in the city during this same month. Consequently, under this report, there was a gain of one ■in the population. The details of the report shows that there were eight white males and ten white females, eleven colored malese and fifteen colored females. The report shows up remarkably well for the first month of the summer. Macon’s health has been improving steadily for some time. REGISTRATION BOOKS , Close Tomorrow Night and Many Names Not There- The county registration books will close tomorrow night. The registration has 'been fairlj good, but there are still many peo ple in the county who have not registered. The candidates are. however, working hard, and the registrar will have all he can do to accommodate the voters between now and closing time. Only seventeen names had been register ed up to last night. It is probable that this number will be increased by some thing like five hundred by tomorrow night. Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made and that, too. by a lady in this country. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years he withstood its se verest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and her death seemed immi nent. For three months she coughed in cessantly and could not sleep. She finally discovered away to recovery by purchas ing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis covery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking the first dose that she slept all night and with two bottles has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus writes Mr. W. C. Hatnmick & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at H. J. Lamar & Sons' drug store. Regular size 50c and sl. Every bottle guaranteed. I was seriously afflicted with a cough for several years and last fall had a more severe cough than ever before. I have used many remedies without receiving much relief, and being recommended to try a bottle Os Oahmberlain’s Cough Rem edy by a friend., who. knowing me to be a poor widow, gave it to me. I tried it with the most gratifying results. The first bot tle relieve*! me very much and the second bottle has absolutely cured me. I have not had as good health for twenty years. Re spectfully.

WATERMELONS COMI NG IN NOW • A Few From Have Been Shipped but the Georgia Melon is Due. IK Uini OMIIliliS He Will be Here, and is Eagerly Looked for by People All Over the State. The waterinelon is the next thing on the docket. It is a race between the watermelon and the peach, with a little of the betting in favor of the peach, but the melon is com ing this way. (By the carload first, and then by the train load, it will leave the sandy fields of South Georgia, where it has drawn the sweetness from the soil and the sun for the cities of the North and West. 'Cincinnati, Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, in all of these and a score of other smaller towns, the Georgia water melon will ’be in demand. High in price at the beginning, it will be but a compar atively few days, before the vast supply will have brought it down within the reach of the poorest. A few melons have already ripened and been consumed in the melon belt. It, will not be until next week, though, that the picking of hem for shipment will begin. The section between Albany and Thomas ville is generally the first to get melons to market, but from the keen rivalry between the planters in the various districts, the honor is likely to be taken from it any season. It will be a fortnight before the movement of the crop is thoroughly under way, and then for several weeks South Georgia will be the scene of much activ ity. The war will have no effect on the picking and moving of the melons. As usual special arrangements will be made for the handling of the crop and every advantage will 'be offered the grow ers. No detailed statement o’s the acreage and probable size of the crop has as yet <beea made up. It is only known in a general way that, under favorable conditions of weather, the crop will be one of the larg est on record. But the drought is having a bad effect on the plants. Rain is needed badly, and unless it comes soon, and liber ally, the crop may 'be cut off considerably. Rain has seldom been needed as badly as now in the melon belt The fruit belt is showing the effect of the absence of mois ture, but a good downpour or two will remedy all this and make the crop equal to the finest of the past, both as to qual ity and quantity. The Florida 'crop has been moving for about a week now. It cannot 'be said that the early Florida melons are very tempting in apearance. Their retail price also serves to discourage the prospective buyer, unless a person of means.
