Atlanta. Ga.. Auk. 30 —The exclusive
circles of Peachtree street society have
been considerably exercised by the work
cf some enterprising newspaper fakir,
who has been sending out tin report that
Internal Revenue Collector Rucker, the
ncuro appoint*® of McKinley, was about
to rent a mansion on that exclusive thor
oughfar* and take up his resid nee in
tb* ir mid -t.
Accordnv to these stori* : Rucker was to
lease the house owned by \Y. H. Smythe,
right hard man to Col. Buck, and an ap
plicant for the postmastership. This
house is located right in the midst of
the Peachtree street creme, so to speak,
and if there was any truth in the report
the colored collect.>r would most certainly
have plenty of trouble in <. eupyiug it.
Rucker, however, declares that there nev
er was any foundation fur the storks, as
he is satisfied to live in the house which
he has occupied for several years past
in the Fourth w ird.
One of i‘w- stories was that MaJ. Smythe
had been an applicant for the office of
collector, and tb.it intlmnt. il Peachtree
street people indorsed Rucker and thus
defeated him. For this alleged snub by
Ills neighbors the story went that he was
to rent his house to the negro collector to
revenge himself upon them.

Atlanta, Gu., Aug. 30. —Gov. Atkinson
n fumed lo the enpitol to-day after an out
ing ix nt with rel atives in Virginia. When
he reached town he found himself con
fronted with a mass of newspaper advice
in r*fcrence to the course he ought to
adopt in the reformation of the misd<-
m- iiior oonvivt >ysterr\ which lias been
a< umulating during his absence.
The lo l pr* s has boon busy in working
lip (h* question, taking tb* recent report
of <\ipt. l’bil. Byrd as a t*xt. The palpable
purpose of this journalistic < xpose by lo
cal papers has been to lay the responsi
bility for any further continuation of the
*vii of the system upon the governor and
this morning he was editorially called
upon to issue executive orders that would
at once compel the counties which have
allowed their misdemeanor convicts to be
leased to private parties to Immediately
resume control of th* m. This, it was point
ed out to him was the sworn duty of the
governor as the executive head of the sta e
and he was called upon to act without de
lay.
In consequence of the manner in which
the case has be* n worked up and the call
for action that has been made, the gover
nor was besciged with newspaper report
ers this morning within a short time af
ter his arrival at the capitol. They were
there to see what In was going to do
about it. Kxpe ting that the “Press
ure” would result in the issuance
of a proclamation that would be an
emancipation proclamation to the poor
devils, who, according to the report of
Special Commissioner Bryd, arc being hor
ribly mistreated in the illegal private
camps of the misdemeanor lesse.
When he consented to express himself
upon the subject, however, the governor
gave the newspaper reporters very little
to build upon. “All 1 have to say iti refer
ence to the matter,’’ said Gov. Atkinson,
“is that l have undertaken to correct the
evils of th*- present system, and 3 hope to
see tin* work accomplished before I retire
from office. 1 will follow the usages of the
law and keep within the hounds of the
authority vested in me as th chief execu
tive of the state; but what my plans are
I do not now • an* to announce.”
Further than this the governor would
not commit himself. One of the local pa
pers suggested to him that the situation
was so grave that it might be excusable
if he should stretch bis authority in order
to demolish the brutalizing and illegal
practice of selling the misdemeanor con
victs to private task-masters, but the gov
ernor evidently regarded this as “hat
talk." Whatever he does will be strictly
within the bounds of bis authority, which
h* considers ample to enable him to deal
both with the county authorities and the
private lessees.
While Judge Turner, the principal keep
er of the penitentiary department, has not
said so for publi ation. It is known that
In* holds that it is th*- duty of the judges
of the courts to remedy the evils
w 1 ich were exposed by the
Hvrd report and It is sail that the gov
ernor's views are along the same line.
The law very plainly prescribes the pun
ishment that shall be meted out to persons
convicted of misdemeanor offenses. This
punishment extends from a fine of one to
a thousand dollars and Imprisonment of
not more limn six months in the county
jailor twelve months on the county chain
tt:mt. The law also explicitly declares that
il shall he Illegal for the county to let
Hindi oonvlets out to private parties. The
position of the principal keeper, therefore,
i ilmt t Is the duty of the judges of the
courts to see that such sentence* as aie
passed are put Into effect. If the sheriff
allows prisoners that are eominltleU to
the county chain-gang or Jail to go to pri
vate lessees because, forsooth, the county
has no cliair.-gung of Its own. then he Is
at h ast guilty of contempt of court.
Ho If the Judge of any court knows that
the sentence ns passed Is not going to
I carried Into execution, and tn counties
where there are n> chain-gang*. they must
know of the violations. Then he Is dere
lect in the performance of Ills duties and
is liable to Impeachment, and right here
i where the climax Is KOina to come In
■ lit ■ omi t question. Those who know
'ometliimt of the plans that have !*ceti de

\\ AiMK.KI) DROWNING.
ilrrinswic 1% fr'iirntslicM a Sensational
storj of a Man's Disappearance.
Hi enswu k. Ga., Aug. 30. —The gunboat
Wi.'m.ngton rruised off Brunswick’s bar
y* t* r lay and last night searching for fll
ibusu rs. rilie sailed this morning for Sa
vannah.
The alleged drowning of Charles Bailey,
one of Way* ross’ prominent and wealthy
citizens, develops to-night sensational
features <Jonne ted with the alleged
drowning are three unknown white wo
rn* n, suppos* and to be members of Bruns
ivi'k's UAVt-r hail’ world. Frank Bailey and
N* wt Jootj of Waycross. Around the t*n
-1 .re affair how rs a mystery which a party
of well known Waycross citizens, headed
by J. A. Lott. Bailey’s brother-in-law, are
trying to fathom.
Loti and his party repeat a strange
stor>. which N* wt Jones tells. It has
fail*! of corroboration so far. Jones
claims that Charles Bailey, the missing
mm, Frank Bailey, himself and dogs were
on Brunswick's docks yesterday afternoon,
Bai * y proposed to get some women and
go boatriding. Jones and Frank Bailey
acquies. <l. Three women and two boats
wi re secured, Charles Bailey, one woman
and tii** big mastiff went in one boat,
Jones, Frank Bailey and two women took
another boat. When out in Turtle river
the boats som<* fifty feet apart, Charles
Bailey is alleged to have fallen overl>oard
and drowned. The woman and the flog
Ime alongside the other boat, Jones and
Frank Bailey, the three women and dog
came hack to town. The women disap
pear* and. Jones. Frank Bailey and the dog
went to Waycross, after telegraphing
through the railroad office that Charles
Bailey was drowned.
Jones tells .1 remarkable tale. He de
clares the three women were unknown.
!f* does not account for their residence
fiom whence they were secured or their
destination after returning to Brunswick.
To-night it is learned from Waycross That
Jones Is drinking. He is claiming several
different points around Brunswick at
which Baib y was drowned. Jones names
the upper coast of St. Simons, main
stream of Turtle river and a raft of tim
ber, three separate and distinct points
from which Bailey disappeared. No one in
Brunswick has heard of the drowning ex
cept through Jones. The most diligent
search fails to locate any male or female
who know if Bailey’s was a tragic end.
Bailey reached Brunswick Wednesday
night and stopped at the Acme hotel. He
went to St. Simons, but returned Friday.
Baiby is a brother to J. S. Bailey, the
wealthy saw r mid man. He is alleged to
have heavy life insurance by some. Lott of
W*ycross claims it is small. It is not
known whether he carried a large sum of
money on his alleged boat ride. He has a
wife and two children in Waycross.
Later.— Investigation of the Bailey
drowning mystery develops that at 11
o’clock last night, Jones and Frank Bai
ley drove up in front of the Acme house.
One had lost his hat. Proprietor Smith
questioned both an to their late where
abouts. they gave no satisfactory answer,
but inquired for Charles Bailey. On being
told he was not there, they w’ent to their
room. The negro hackman drove off.
To-day Ed. Robinson. alleged
to be the same hackman, told
of his late night passengers. To-night
Robinson denies having hauled Jones and
Bailey about.
The Waycross searchers, assisted by lo
cal authorities, will begin searching this
territory to-morrow. If Bailey was drown
ed his body will drift with the tide and
may he recovered. It is intimated to-night
that unless Jones throws a more satisfac
tory light on the affair he will be arrected.
To-night a search of the room Jones and
Frank Bailey occupied at the Acme
brought forth Charles Bailey’s coat. It
was covered wlih mud and dirt, evidenc
ing rough usage.
