OLD-TIME SCENES CF TURMOIL
INDICATIONS THAT POLITICIANS
ARE IN \ COMBINATION.

I.cklnlii tti re a I.ivrly One—\s|*i
r nil is Deft Out In the Cold Vow
Veiigennre on the Traders—Hof
fetllllet Has the Best of tin- Bare
for Clerk—Salient Fentureo of the'
Governor’s Message.
A'tanta, 6a., Oct. 23.—The last day be
fore the opening of the legislative ses
sion presented the old time scenes of tur
moil. The Kimball House lobby resem
bled the witches cauldron, “double, dou
ble toi! and trouble; fire burn and cauld
ron bubble."
ft is the lost time such scenes will be
witnessed until the people of Georgia con
pint to vote book the system. Hereafter
judges and solicitors will be elected by
the people.
The indications to-night are that the noli
tlcians have made the best use of their
final opportunity and have organized the
most ironclad combination on record.
Judges and congressmen mingled with the
crowd and vied with each other in pulling
votes from members of the legislature.
Those who did not get In Ihe combination
are vowing that they will make the trad
ing politicians roost lower when they get
before the people.
The contest is close to-day between
Boifeuillet and Callaway for clerk, with
chances in favor of Hoifeuillet.
W. A. Dodson will get 38 to 40 votes for
president of the Senate, but as yet Wil
liam Clifton has not eome down. Render
Terrell will probably be president pro
tein. and C. S. Northen will lie secretary.
John D. Little has no opposition for
pjieaker of the House and A. O. Blalock of
Kayeite will probably be made speaker
pro. tern.
Much interest Is manifested in the con
test over fhe postofflee of Ihe House, li
is given to women, and the speaker ap
points. There are twenty-iwo applicants,
among them Ihe widow of the late W. C.
Glenn, who has powerful backing.
Speaker Little remained awake all fast
night trying to solve this difficult prob
lem. Both candidates for the bench of
the Atlantic circuit are here. It is bard
to stale with certainly what will result.
Scabrook appears td be ahead. The elec
tion is several days off. Two tax reform
bills are In sight. Si>oaker Little, as al
ready nnouneed, will be accompanied by
one from T. M. Swift of Elbert.
Senalor Steve Clay leaves North Geor
gia to-night for the Eleventh district,
where he will spend a week campaigning
for Congressman Brantley. He says
Brantley will carry every county, not ex
cepting Lowndes, which is Wilkinson's
home.
The Senate will have twenty-two law
yers. three doctors and thref bankers, be
sides business men and farmers. Com
missioner Nesbitt and William Little of
Jefferson county are the leading formers
in the upper chamber. The legislature
will probably caucus over the election of
Judges and solicitors. There are only ten
men to caucus against, but the sentiment
seems to be for tightening up party lines
while the contests are on.
Gov. Atkinson's last message, to be de
livered to-morrow, was purtly given to
the press to-day. These advance sheets
contain what he considers the most im
portant parts of the document. They treat
of ballot reform, law to make party prima
ries fair and legislation to put all unre
turned property on the tax digest.
The consensus of opinion is that the
Australian ballot will be adopted, and that
a siratghtout assessment luw will be
passed by this legislature.
It is likely that a bill for the monthly
payment of teachers, and another for the
acceptance of the Confederate Veterans'
Home will pass.
Following are the salient features of the
'annual message of Gov. Atkinson, which
will be read to the general assembly this
morning;
“For thirty years past the welfare and
destiny of this state have been in the
hands of one party, and the recent elec
tion has but furnished a fresh demonstra
tion that this condition is to continue in
definitely, or at least so long as the pres
ent party alignments remain. The Dem
ocratic primary not only virtually, but
actually, determines who shall till every
important office in the slate, and in near
ly every county, and what shall Ik- the
policy of the state government so far
as these officers may determine it. The
constitutional amendments of two years
ago and this year, making the Supreme
and Superior Court Judges elective by the
people, vastly increase the responsibility
of ihe dominant party by adding the bur
den of choosing a pure judiciary.
“The most vital part. then, of our poli
tics is the primary, and any reform that
docs not include this Inceptive function
in its scope will fall to strike nt the root
of the real evils of which the people are
complaining.
“Recognized as ihe most progressive of
the Southern states, there is every con
sideration why Georgia should lead in tills
as well as In olher improvements in the
South. The practice of general primaries
upon a stated day, under fixed rules,
which has been found so satisfactory in re
cent years, should lie made the statu
tory law, which eannol be changed at the
whim of a committee, or the will of a can
didate who may control a majority of its
members, and should be binding tiixm all
parties.
“So satisfactory has been Ihe practice of
holding state primaries on one day that
I would by all means incorporate this in
the law; and 1 would also advise that the
date of the primary lie made a fixed nay,
at such season as may be most conven
ient to the masses of the voters. If nec
essary, separate succeeding days might
be named for each party, or all could be
held on one day.
“A great deal of comment lias been
made recently about ihe high rate of tax
ation in Georgia. That the tax rate is
higher than the people who pay the taxes
can well afford is an indisputable propo.
eitlon; but I fall to see how the amount
of appropriations made can be materially
reduced without receding from the posi
tion which the state has taken respecting
its treatment of ihe old soldiers and the
education of its children, and against this
policy of retrogression all are mutually
pledged.
“I am as much in favor of economy
in slate affairs as any one can he, as I
think the record of my administration will
show; but the proper and only way to
reduce the taxes that everybody pays, is
to make everybody pay his taxes. If there
were a just and equitable system of lax
assessment in the state. Instead of leav
ing each taxpayer to swaar to the amount
that he is willing to pay taxes upon, ac
cording to investigations Unit have been
recently made in different localities and
according to the painstaking rejort of
Controller General Wright, to wTih-li y # >ur
careful attention is called, ihe valuation
of property would be so increased—so
much additional property would bo placed
upon the tax liooks—that the rate of tax
i alien would bo decreased one-third, and
I*;'ill afford the same amount of revenue
HWt we are receiving to-day.
®' |/Jn 1*92 tax values were fixed, not by

assessors. Asa result, tax values increas
ed from J 144.000.000 in 1891 to 1463,000,000 In
1892. This act was repealed in the fall
of 1892. The next year there was a de
crease of Jt1.00u.600 in the returns of tax
able property, and now, after a constant
decline, it is $34,000,000 less than in 1892,
when valued by lax a.-sessors. If so much
goid was accomplished in one year, with
the experience of this effort tax values ere
now yvould have been equalize!} and large
ly increased, and vast amounts of prop
erty, real and |Tsonal, which now escapes
t ixatlon. would 1x- bearing their shore of
the common burden.
“This law was not a failure, as was
claimed by Its opponents, some of whom
suffered by its operations, and made other
people believe that they also suffered, so
that there was a general clamor for Its
repeal, to which n succeeding legislature
succumbed. It had its Imperfections, ns
any law which you may enact will have,
but these defects should have been reme
died by &irther legislation. I have re
peatedly called upon Ihe legislature to en
act some measure that would bring about
reform in this matter of taxation.’’

Tt Vote*.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 25.—Secretary of State
William Clifton yesterday decided the con
test over the county seat of Wilcox coun
ty, declaring that a majority of 71 votes
was cast for Rochelle. The case now goes
to the legislature for confirmation of the
change voted by the people from Abbe
ville to Rochelle.
In this case the Secretary of State was
enjoined from hearing and deciding the
contest. The point was made that it was
a Judicial function, which an executive
officer could not perform, The Supreme
Court held that this was not true, and
Mr. Clifton went on and decided Ihe case.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 26. 1898.
REV. LEE HUMBLY RECANTS.
HE HAD BEEN MISINFORMED ABOIT
SAVANNAH'S MAYOR.
Hus Since Heard That N'eillier He Nor
Angustn’s Mayor Was at the .Ma
con Carnival, and Consequently
Not Guilty—The Preacher to Wear
a Muzzle in Future and Not Enter
Into Personalities—Nothing Sen
sational in I.nst Night's Sermon.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 25.—Rev. Lee will wear
a muzzle during the rest of his stay In
Macon. He has grown too warm for the
managers of the prohibition campaign.
They assured some of the outraged citi
zens this afternoon that they were not
going to let their exhorter indulge in any
more personalities and abuse of Macon in
stitutions.
The reverend gentleman had outlined a
campaign fraught with a great deal more
excitement than anything he has yet pro
duced.
Jie announced lust night: “I am an
Irish-American. It is a great mixture for
fighting and I’ve got plenty of the blood
in me. I gave you the prelude Sunday
night; I give you the interlude to-night,
and next Sunday night I’ll give you the
conclude, and you can bet it will be the
hottest thing your people ever had thrown
at them.’’
He then said the Mayors of Augusta,
Savannah and other cities had come up
here to make a “hot time in the old town”
during the carnival, but he would show
how the carnival has been a disgrace to
the community, etc.
Mr. Lee also gave the Telegraph a rip
or two for not publishing something about
him. He said the paper had promised to
print something that had been sent in,
and then didn't do it. He applied his fav
orite epithet “lie,” and to-day Manager
Hanson called on the prohibiten campaign
committee to know if it was responsible
for Lee’s utterances, and they made the
promise that there should be an end to
this kind of thing.
To-nigiit Mr. Lee used different tack.
He said in reference to his abuse of the
Mayor of 9avannah and Augusta: “I
was misinformed about them. 1 have
learned that they were not here, and I
humbly apologize for what I said about
them. It gives me more pleasure to make
amends when I find myself wrong than
it does to attack a man. I will mall both
Mayor Walsh and Mayor Meldrtm a copy
of my public apology in the morning.”
There was nothing sensational in to
night's sermon, and it is not likely that
anybody will make any row about what
has already been said, if the campaign
committee can succeed in holding the
preacher down in future.
'Mayor Meldrim's attention was called
yesterday to Rev. Mr. Lee's reference to
him and his visit to Macon. “I was not
in Macon; did not see the carnival, but
was at home attending to my business,”
said the Mayor, “and Mr. Lee is mistaken
in any reference he made to me.”
ASSASSINS SHOT TO DEATH.
Two Negroes Lynched for the Mur
der of Mrs. Atkinson.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 25.—After a coroner’s
Inquest, during which Jim Mackie and
Luther Sullivan Implicated each other In
the murder of Mrs. J. O. Atkinson, at Re
publican Church, Edgefield county, about
fourteen miles across the river from here
in South Carolina, both men were shot to
death to-night by the enraged people of
the neighborhood in which the murdered
woman lived. The assassin fired at her.
from the roadside late at night while she
and her husband were returning home
from Augusta. The crime was committed
just one week ago. It seems that there
was a conspiracy against the life of Mr.
Atkinson, who is the only white man in
a wide radius that is inhabited by ne
groes.
FIGHT WILL CAUSE DISCORD.
Macon's Connell Asks the Prolitbi
tlnnlxt* to Call Olf Flection.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 25.—At the Council
meeting to-night a resolution was passed
with only one negative vote asking the
leaders to withdraw their petition for a
prohibition election in December. The res
olution sets forth that Macon is the best
governed and most orderly city of its size
in America, and that as a high license is
gradually reducing the number of bar
rooms, there is no need for throwing peo
ple into a state of turmoil and discord by
slander and vituperation Incident to the
prohibition campaign. It is stated that
such a campaign will necessarily destroy
the good feeling produced by results of
diamond jubilee Just ended.
COFFEE ELECTION CONTEST.
Judge Sweat Renders n Decision In
Favor of Petitioners.
Waycross, Ga., Oct. 25.—Judge J. L.
Sweat rendered a decision yesterday at
chambers in the suit of Elijah Hanner
and W. M. Tanner vs. T. S. Been et al.,
superintendents, etc., a petition for man
damus in Coffee Superior Court, which is
in favor of the petitioners. It is the
celebrated Coffee election contest. Judge
Sweat holds in his decision that If the
returns from McDonald’s Mill precinct
were consolidated with the other vote of
the county would have eleted Elijah Tan
ner representative by a majority of 55
votes and W. M. Tanner sheriff by a ma
jority of 42 votes.
Accidentally Killed.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 25.—Perry Davis killed
Will Munich while fooling with a pistol
In East Macon to-night. Both are young
white men. The shooting was evidently
an accident, ns the ball passed through
Davis’ hand and struck Munich In the
heart. Death was immediate.

BRUNSWICK BUDGET.
Sale of Livery Stock—Political and
General Notes.
Brunswick, Ga., Oct. 25.—The livery sta
ble stock tielonging to the estate of J. R.
Minehan was sold at auction yesterday
in front of the court house and bought in
by H. S. McCrary. The business former
ly conducted by Mr. Minehan will be dis
continued.
Brunswick Is working to get up a Ly
ceum for the coming season. There Is no
place of amusement in the city and the
need of some sort of entertainment is bad
ly felt. If the arrangements are not made
the old stand-bys of church fairs and oys
ter suppers will have to supply the long
felt want.
Mrs. J. T. Crouch has entered suit
against the Southern Railroad for the
death of her husband, who was killed by
the cars some time ago.
Representative Emanuel of Glynn and a
delegation of his supporters are In At
lanta to put the new member through the
ropes. Some of Mr. Emanuel’s supporters
have been under the Impression that the
administration faction of this county
would carry their fight on him to the
House and try and prevent his being al
lowed a vote In the Democratic caucuses.
This Idea was based on the grounds that
the chief opposition to Mr. Emanuel was
because of his having been a member of
a McKinley club and a strong supporter
of McKinley In the last election. There
does not seem, however, to be any desire
on the part of Mr. Emanuel's political op
ponents here to carry the fight up. He
was elected and has expressed himself as
desirous of serving Ihe whole people. As
long as this continues there will not be
any effort to defeat or retard his work.
DEATH OF HON. DANIEL H'RAB,
He YY'a* a Prominent and Much Es
teemed Citizen of Telfair.
Mcßae, Ga., Oct. 25.—Hon. Daniel M.
Mcßae, one of the founders of this town,
was stricken with apoplexy and died sud
denly at noon yesterday. He was 74 years
of age and was highly esteemed through
out this section of country. At the time
the Macon and Brunswick Railroad (now
the Southern) was built, about 1870, he
was living on his farm here and owned
all the land where Mcßae and Helena
now stand. A station was made near his
dwelling and named Mcßae in honor of
the family of that name in the county and
of Gen. William Mcßae, formerly of North
Carolina, who was superintendent of the
railroad at that time. A year later the
county seat was moved from Jackson
ville to Mcßae, and the town was incor
porated.
Daniel M. Mcßae has held a number of
positons of honor and trust and was one of
the most popular men in Telfair county.
He was dlected to the legislature during
the war between the states while serving
in the Confederate army. Since then he
has held various positions of trust and
was chairman of the county board of
education at the time of his death. Re
cently he became a member of the Pres
byterian Church and only last Saturday
was canvassing the town for subscrip
tions to build a Presbyterian Church in
Mcßae.
