TEACHER’S MONEY.
Governor Atkinson, It Is Thought, Has Made
Arrangements for It.
Atlanta. July 14 —Governor W. Y. Atkin
son is expected back from New York this
afternoon. He will not bring the $200,000
which he desired to borrow to pay off the
school teachers Nothing definite has been
learned about the result of his trip, but
it is presumed that he has arranged for
the money.
Professor Glenn, state school commis
sioner, has a plan which if it is put into
effect, will make it unnecessary hereafter
to borrow money for school purposes. His
idea is to open the school next November
and teach for three months. The taxes
coming in will enable the state to pay
off the $200,000 which the governor has
borrowed and to pay the teachers for three
months’ work.
The summer schools are unimportant
and Professor Glenn would not open them
again until the following fall, when he
would run them for six months. There
after tlie schools could be kept open for
six months in the fall and winter and the
state would have her own money to pay
off the teachers promptly.

DIFFICULTIES MUCH GREATER
; Than Were Experienced in Moving
Shafter’s Troops from Tampa
to Coast of Cuba.
Washington, July 14.—At 2 p. m. the fol
lowing statement by one who saw the pres
ident, gives the situation:
Arrangements are being made foi com
missioners to arrange the surrender of
Santiago. There is much misunderstand
ing as to the effect of the Spanish proposi
tion, ‘the administration at first believing
it a Spanish trick to work delay as before,
but it is now construed as looking to an
immediate surrender, and the arrange
ments for that are now in progress.
Shafter lias been wired authoritatively
to appoint the commissioners, but only for
immediate and unconditional surrender,
and has been informed if for any other pur
pose the commissioners are not to be ap
pointed.
Our authorities as voiced in the dis
patches to Shafter by Alger, will attend to
the details of transporting the Spanish sol
diers back to Spain.
News fioir the front was awaited with
the greatest anxiety all the morning, over
shadowing even the interest felt in the
ccnJ tian of the (ever patents was 'he sui
ren Jer.
The dispatchs from Shafter and Mil~s
received last evening made it evident, in
the opinion of these officers that the end
was near.
It was not, however, until 11 o’clock
that word came from .the front - that the
Spaniards had proposed a commission to
adjust the terms of surrender.
This is said to be on novelty in warfare
and especially in such cases as this where
complex eondtions are involved.
The proposition to move the Spanish
army into Santiago, divided as it is be
tween the several remote from one
another, secures the removal of dangerous
obstructions in the ports and the details of
the transportation of this army involves so
many factors, that a considerable time
might very properly be expended in ad
justing ‘them.
In some quarters it is declared the Span
ish proposition is simply another scheme
on the part of Toral to gain time, he being
fully aware of the uncomfortable and dan
gerous position of the American troops.
From this point of view, however, if that
is his purpose, he is not likely to succeed.
Alger declared most emphatically that no
further time would be granted for decis
ion upon the main proposition of surrender,
and if by noon today the Spanish general
has not declared his willingness to do this,
the attack will be resumed.
It is presumed th-at if Toral accepts the
main principal of surrender with the ex
pectation of being transported to Spain
with the army, there will be no objection
to the appointment of commissioners to ad
just the details of surreder.
An enormous number pf transports will
he required to carry out our part of the
obligation.
Some idea of the size of the fleet may be
gathered from the mere mention of the
difficulties Shafter experienced ip landing
in Cuba his first detachment of 15,000 men,
though he had at Tampa all the conven
iences of a well equipped American port.
It is roughly estimated that there are in
Santiago province, and it is presumed that
■the terms of surrender will include the
whole province, no less than 30,000 Spanish
soldiers, and to transport these men will
require no less than forty-five large steam
ers.

have no opposition when the lime for the

CAMP PRICE
IS SOAKED.
Everything is Wet But the
Drills Still Continue.
Yesterday was a disagreeable day at
Camp Price. Everything was wet, every
body was wet, and it seemed as if every
body was in a bad humor.
The majors had their battalions out in
spite of the rajn gpd the drill wgs good.
Dress parades will be held next week and
each company commander is endeavoring
to get his company in shape within that
time. There is a great deal of rivalry be
tween the companies as to which is the
best drilled and this of course makes the
men take more interest in the drills.
The guard house continues to grow ap
parently more popular as it is always full.
More than thirty men were confined th:-re
yesterday and it is likely that many mu re
will be put in today,
The flag, whicji was presented to the
regiment, is kept at the colonel's head-,
quarters and it will not be taken out until
the regiment goes on dress parade. The
men prize the flag highly and they are all
determined that it shall be well taken care
of.
The privates seem not to care for the
rain*. They sit out in the company street
with their pouchal’s on in all sorts of
weather. A News reporter asked one of
them yesterday why it was that they did
not mind the rain. He said that they did
not like it much but that they were sit
ting in It to get tough.
More men have been placed on guard as
it was found that the men were slipping
in past the guards at night and it was
found necessary to increase the strength
of the guard.
The men are anxious to move. They say
that they are tired of staying here and
they wish to go to the front.
The colonel will begin taking the men
on practice marches soon. He will take
the East Macon road and go out about ten
miles and return. This will harden the
men and get them accustomed to taking
long marches.
No one was reported sick yesterday.
This goes to shew that the camp is in very
good condition.

J That He Tried io Kill Himself
I
But Has Nothing to Say
About His Wife.

FEW WOULD !E IWH
So When He Saw His Race Was Run
He Used Same Weapon With
Which He Killed His Wife.
Abner Taylor, the young farmer of the
Warrior district, who stabbed his wife to
death and nearly succeeded in killing her
father, was captured near Lizella at day
break this morning.
Before he was captured and when he saw
that escape was hopeless, Taylor attempted
to commit suicide, stabbing himself three
times over the heart.
A large possee of neighboring farmers
has been rm the lookout for Taylor since
Sunday night. They have scoured the
.country over, and were finally rewarded
this morning by capturing him.
Taylor has been hiding in swamps, woods
and houses since he committed his horrible
crime.
He was captured in the orchard of Mr.
Ben Williamson at Lizella by a posse made
up of W. S. Holley, W. T. Bartlett, J. F.
Hamlin, M. M. Newby, W. A. Hamlin,
Frank Herrington, Frank Jones, G. W.
Bennett and Deputy Sheriffs Burkett and
Riley.
Late yesterday afternoon the searching
party took a new trail and followed it up.
It led them to the house of Mr. Ben Wil
liamson, near Lizella. The party surroun
ded Taylor's house and cut off ali comuni
cation between Williamson and Taylor's
brother Last night about 11 o’clock the
party heard some one go into Williamson’s
bouse, and they moved closer in to pre
vent that person from coming out.
The party watched the house until this
morning at daybreak when Williamson
came out and they asked him who entered
his house last night. He replied that no
body had. One of the party said that some
one did enter the house and that it was Eli
Taylor, and that Taylor had told him that
he had entered.
Wiiiiamson got terribly mad at this and
said that he would go in the house and
make Eli Taylor tell everyone of the party
that he had nor. been in the house before
that morning, hut the crowd would not let
I him enter the house.
i About this time 'Mr. W. S. Holley, who
had been searching around Williamson'B
‘ house, saw Taylor lying under a peach trre
ijt the rear of Williamson's house. lie
i started towards him and ss he did so Tay-
I kr, whose chest was bar. d, stabbed him
! self twice. Holley yelled ■to him to stoi>
I and ran to him, taking the knife from him
j amJ calling the others to come to his as
sistance. Taylor had been stabbed three
times, lie saw Holley before the latter
saw him and had Stabbed himself once.
They uound Taylor securely and made
; towards i izella. They asked Taylor where
j he was tiyhsg to go to and he said he was
' trying to get to William's barn, where he
j had been hiding, but that he had seen the
j crowd coming and tried to hide under the
: tree.
I T’n<‘ party carried him to Dr. Redding
>at Lizella. who partially dressed his
■ wounds, and he was brought into town
■ and placed in jail by Messrs W. S. Hol
i ley, W. T. Bartlett and J. F. Hamlin.
■Taylor begged the crowd to protect him,
I saying that the people were going to mob
I him and said that as he was dying anyway
j to take him home. ’He begged piteously,
j but the men who had him in charge deem
j ed it best to bring him to jail at once, as
I a mob might gather at any moment and
: take him from them and lynch him.
The party assured Taylor that they would
protect him and that no one would bother
him. He then became calm and said tha r
he was very sorry that he had cut liimseli
and that he would not have done had
he known that he woqld not have been
lynched.
He was brought into .town about '1 o’clock
and a large crowd was at the jail when a
News reporter arrived there, but only a
I few were allowed to enter.
Sheriff Westcott, a News reporter and
! several others went to Taylor’s cell. He
1 was sitting down on a stool in the cell
i and looked very tired. He was eoverd with
mud from head to foot, and his clothes
; were bloody where the blood from his
I wounds had stained them.
A News reported asked him how he felt.
’ He said:
; H I feel lik. lam dying. Pleesc ’<l my
I brother E|i to ecape up here. I wa:.- to s e
him. Te.j ht.n t» come this af' rnnoo and
if I am living I want to talk to him.”
He was asked who told him that a mob
was going to lynch him. He replied, ‘ Ben
Williamson tcld me that a mob would
j lynch m. if they caught me.”
j He was asked how long h'e had been
. with Williamson. He replied:
"I have been at Ben Williamson’s since
‘Monday, and he has been giving me mv
meals.”
Tayior was too weak to talk an* more
a.J he narty left him. Dr. V’orsh?-.- was
■telephoned for and came down to dress
‘ his wounds. Taylor has three ugly stabs
■ oyer his heart, but they are not Lknlv to
prov fatal. He was rnffering very m.-.rh
this morning.
Mr. Holley has the knife with which Tay
i lo- killed his wife and attempted to kill
himself. It is a common bone-handle
knife with two blades, but in the hands of
a mad man would be a dangerous w. ar n.
Taylor has a brother and a cousin who 1
1 have killed people and one of them it will
be remembered committed suicide in the
the swamp before he would be captured. ,
Taylor at’«mpted th? same thing but was I
■ unsuccessful.
While at the jail this morning the sheriff
received a telegram from Augusta asking
how much reward was offered for Taylor.
The people have all quieted down around
Lizella and there will be no attempt to ;
lynch Taylor.

Continues With
Brisk movement..
The alliance between Eads and Neel
will be formally established on August 1.
In the meantime you may secure unpre
cedented values at either store. The main
object of merchandising now is to reduce
the bulk of stock. Os course we don’t ex
pect to even realize cost. We are ardently
trying to deplete every department.
That’s why prices are so phenomenally
low. The goods are worthy in every res
pect, and would bring quick buyers at
regular rates in any market. Nothing but
the consolidation of the two firms would
justify present sacrifices.
