Anti-Atkinson Feeling; traps Out.
AGanta. Qa.. Oet. 26. —The Geofgia leg
islature began Its annual flfty-.lay session
to-<lay under most Huspicious eircum
staneis. Not in a tone tune has the or
ganization of the two houses been accom
plished with as little frielton, and not hi
fix years past has there lteen so mueh ap
parent unanimity among the solons Ufion
a party basis. The Populist and Independ
ent vote is so insignificant its to cause no
friction at ali.
rerhaps but for the fact that Gov. At
kinson took advanced ground some weeks
ago. in tireing the abandonment of the
caucuses in order io facilitate the com
plete reconciliation between the two ele
ments. there would have been no drawing
of the party lines at all. But this action
of the Governor’s undoubtedly caused the
anti-Atkinson element, which has been
growing up In the Democratic party ever
eince the revolution In state politics that
landed him In the executive choir, to con
centrate in opposition to the abandonment
of the party caucus for any reason. The
anti-Atkinson element is now in the saddle
und the suggestion of no caucus coming
from him only served to make the caucus
double sure. From this, however, It must
not be understood that there was no good
arguments used In favor of the caucus
which started off the day's proceedings.
On the contrary some of the most loyal
members of the party advocated the cau
cus, believing it to he indispenslble as long
as there is a single non-Democratic vote
in 'the assembly. What is meant to be
Illustrated Is that if the suggestion for no
caucus had come from the other side, it
would probably have been adopted.
To the student of stale politics, this
caucus incident was the most interesting
feature of the opening of the day's events.
It decidedly emphasizes the factional side
of state politics, and bodes no good, some
of the conservatives think, for the future j
harmony of the Democratic state house
hold.
In the contests for places in the assem
bly there was but one clash that promised
anything in the nature of excitement.
This was for clerk of the House, and at
its close the anti-Atkinson feeling was
conspicuously manifested again.
Although the Governor has, in fact, tak
en little or no part in the contest for
the clerkship, he has nevertheless been
accredited with the candidacy of his pri
vate secretary, AlaJ. F. E. Calloway, and
the ignominious defeat of the latter by
John T. Boifeuillet of Bibb county, was
taken as another solar plexus blow to
the retiring chief magistrate.
Maj. Calloway had associated with him
self in his race Hon. Mark Hardin, for
years clerk of the House. Col. H. J. Ham,
the noted “Snollygoster," and E. W. Frye
of Cobb county. The latter was a deputy
clerk in the last House, and, altogether,
it seemed that Calloway had enough tim
ber to thrash out almost any other single
man In the state. But when it came to
voting in the caucus, Boifeuillet simply
ran away from the combination at the
rate of four to one. When Boifeuillet had
received a majority of the House, eighiv
eight votes, Calloway had only received
1- His friends saw that he had been com
pletely wiped out of the situation, making
the nomination of the Macon candidate
unanimous.
Maj. Calloway being regarded as the
nomination of Gov. Aikinson, on account
of his connection with the outgoing ad
ministration, the anti-Atkinson and Cand
ler elements naturally drifted to Boifeul
lette, piling up votes in favor of him in re
membrance of old scores against the Gov
ernor and his followers.
There was no contest over either the
presidency of the Senate or the speaker
ship. The former went to Hon. W. A.
Dodson of the Thirteenth district and the
latter to Hon. John D. Little of Muscogee.
Mr. Little is probably the ’youngest
man, both In point of years and of public
service, who has ever held the speakership
in He made his debut into
state affairs two years ago as a member
of the House from Muscogee county, but
during his first term was made chairman
of the finance committee and succeeded
In rendering such good service and in win
ning good opinions from his colleagues,
that he was given the speakership this
year without the show of opposition.
Senator Dodson is also a young man in
years, though he has eerved several
terms in the legislature, and has justly
been regarded as one of the safest and
most energetic legislators who has had a
seat 4n the general assembly of recent
years.
Just as the presiding officers of the two
houses were selected without friction, Sec
retary Charles Northen was installed in
office in the Senate. Two years ago he
was elected assistant secretary along with
Secretary William Clifton and when Col.
Cliflon decided to come to the Senate this
year as a senator instead of secretary, Mr.
Northen stepped into his place as quietly
and naturally as if he had been the late
lamented “Uncle Bill Harris" himself.
Along with Secretary Northen, Col.
Charles Hansell of Thomasville, was In
ducted Into office as assistant secretary.
The vice presidency of the Senate went to
Render Terrell, a brother of Attorney Gen
eral Terrell, and the place of speaker pro
tempore of the House was conferred upon
Hon. A. O. Blalock of Fayette county by
acclamation.
Mr. Blalock was the head of the famous
Blalock investigating committee that made
things so warm last year, and there wee
some talk of him as a candidate for speak
er this year, but he preferred his place ns
a leader on the floor lo lhe work behind
the desk.
J. H. Williford of Fayette county was
elected doorkeoi>er of the House ove r T. N.
Lewis of McDuffie.
F. M. Durham of Bartow was elected
messenger after two ballots had been taken
to decide the contest between himself, J.
W. McCurdy of DeKalb and Chester
Pearce of Houston.
In the Senate. Maj. It E. Wilson was
elected doorkeeper over W. J. Green of
Habersham county, while Flynn Hargett
of Habersham was elected messenger over
Danlcf Paulk of Irwin by one vote.
The nominations for these positions were
all made 111 caucus, the general caucus of
the Senate and House being called to or
der by Hon. F. G. du Rig non In the hall
of the House at 9:30 o'clock. Mr. dußig
r.on called the caucus together by vtr.ue
of his position as chairman of tiv state
i committee. There was a lively discussion
Las to whether a caucus should be held,
Imi'' members expressing the opinion that

en until to-morrow, so that when the Gov
ernor's secretary appeared with his mes
s.igc, there was no session to receive It,
and th.- message will not he read until to
morrow.
The only business transacted, aside from
the organization of the two house*, was
the passage of a joint resolution, provid
ing for the consolidation of the vote for
Governor and state house officers to-mor
row at 11 o’clock. This will occupy the
day.
On Saturday the inauguration of Gov.
Candler will lake place. Col. Candler was
about the capitol to-day, but did not do
much mixing with the solons on account
of the press of business uion his own
hands.
Neither President Dodson nor Speaker
Little undertook to make much of a set
speech in accepting the honors conferred
upon them, Mr. Dodson contented him
self with felicitating his brother senators
upon the bright prospects of the state’s
future and pledging his best efforts to in
sure harmony and progress in the parly
rind state.
Speaker Little. In his acceptance, took
occasion to discuss briefly some of the
problems (hat are exported to come up
during the session for solution.
The par imount objects to Ire accom
plished be declared lo be, first, a reduc
tion of the taxation, which must be ac
complished by increase of the tax digests,
and next. Ihe enactment of ballot reforms,
which should insure a perfectly free and
fair expression of opinion by the people
upon all questions. Mr. Little declared
tliat the tax digests showed that the
property in this slate subject to taxation
was only $411,000,000. As u matter of fact,
the property subject was worth more than
twice that amount. Half the property es
capes its just burdens in maintaining the
state, and the remedy for this evil he be
lieved to be a paramount importance to
the people.
There were a great many familiar faces
among the crowds that gathered at the
capitol for the opening sessions of the
legislature to-day. Some of these were
merely spectators and workers for friends
who had interests at stake, while others
come to resume seats In either house oc
cupied by them heretofore. Altogether,
however, the percentage of old mcmlers
in l>oih houses is small. It seems to be a
new deal in statesmanship.
Of the national statesmen who took part
in the scene, there were Senator Clay
and Congressmen Bartlett, Tate and
Adamson.
Col. Robert L. Berner of the Third Geor
gia Regiment was also a spectator, though
he said he came to town on business strict
ly. Col. Berner ha3 served for years as
a member of either branch of the as
sembly, and the picture would not have
been complete without him.
THE THOMASVILLE FAIR.
The Second Day Rather Wintry.

Thomasville, Ga., Oct. 26.—The second
day of the fair has passed and to-night
Thomasville is a wide-open town. The
horse-racing elements are predominant.
Pool-selling is the order of the day, and
night as well.
Miss Annie Oakley gave another exhi
bition of her marvelous marksmanship.
The hay exhibit is very fine, five differ
ent varieties of home-grown hay being
shown and any one of them being su
perior to ordinary Western hay.
The sweet potato show Is quite a
feature, while the fine arts display would
do credit to a much more pretentious ex
position. The negro department and the
children’s department are also extensive
and varied.
The temperance people are on hand, dis
pensing ice water and literature.
The day was clear, but wintry, and the
spectators sought the sunny parts of the
grand stand while witnessing the racing.
In the 2:40 pace, Harvard S. won, with
Dick Onward second. Best time, 2:27.
In the running race, three-quarters of a
mile dash, Bloodhound won, with Hands

THE MOKNING NEWS: THEKSDAY, OCTOBER 27. 189a
DIED WHILE SERVING TIME.
TWO MENA WAY BOYS TAKE SICK
IN A CONVICT CAMI*.
Lewis anil Henderson Run Away
From Their Homes in Durham
nnd I.mill In n Chain-Gang for a
Minor Offense—Taken Suddenly 111
nnd One Dies Before Reaching;
Aletlienl Attention, and (he Other
Shortly Afterward.
Waycross, Ga.. Oct. 26.—Two young
while men, who were ill of some form
of malarial fever at C. W. Deen & Co.’s
convict camp, In Appling county, four
miles north of Beach, were put in a wagon
yesterday morning and sent to Waycross
for medical treatment.
One of them, named Lewis, died on the
railroad platform at Beach, while waiting
for the air line train. The other, Tom
Henderson, was brought to Waycross and
put under the care of Dr J. H I.attlmer,
but lived only till 8 o'clock this morning.
Both were peculiarly sad deaths. They
had served fifteen days in the efiain-gang,
having only fifteen more days to serve.
It seems that they ran away from their
homes at Durham, N. C., beating their
way to Blackshear on a freight train.
They were arrested several weeks ago
at Blackshear for stealing passage on the
train. Their trials occurred in the Coun
ty Court, and thirty-day sentences were
imposed by the judge. They had violated
a town ordinance, prohibiting stealing
passage on a train within the Incorporate
limits.
The authorities turned them over to C.
W Deen & Cos., turpentine operators,
charging the usual price for such serv
ice. Lewis and Henderson were about 18
or 20 years of age, and of delicate phys
ique. They were put to work gathering
’’scrape’’ from the turpentine trees, and
lasl Friday both of them complained of
being ill and were not required to work
any more. It was thought best to send
them to Waycross, so they could get prop
er medical attention. The man in charge
of the camp did not know of their serious
illness. When Lewis died, a report was
circulated that he was whipped while sick.
C. W. Deen of Waycross went to the
camp to-day to investigate the report. He
■said he found that neither one of the boys
had been whipped. He said they were re
quired to do light work while they were
well and were allowed to wear their own
ciothes and sleep in the same house with
the overseer. He said he did not know
whether a physician had attended them at
the ramp or not. Someone at Beach
wanted an inquest held over Lewis, and
the body was allowed to remain on the
platform since yesterday morning, pend
ing the arrival of the coroner. A tele
phone message was sent to Coroner
Grimes, and his residence being outside
of Waycross, he did not get it till this
morning, after the departure of the Air
Line train. It is not known whether the
inquest has been held or not.
C. W. Deen & Cos. had a coffin made and
sent it to Beach for the purpose of burv
ing Lewis. They learned that the coun
ty would hold an inquest and did not
interfere.
Henderson was a son of Dr. L. B. Hen
derson, a prominent dentist of Durham,
N. C. His father ordered the body shipl
ped home this afternoon by express.
The circumstances surrounding the
death of the young man are being investi
gated by C. W. Deen & Cos., and by to
morrow ail the particulars will he gath
ered. They say they want all the facts
made public, because they are satisfied
the young men were humanely treated and
well cared for while at the camp.
Dr. Parker examined Lewis' body to
day and said no signs of whipping were
visible.
REV. LEE TOO MUCH FOR MACON.
Same Prohibitionist* Think He Has
Hurt the Cause,
Macon, Ga., Oct. 26.—The prohibitionists
are receiving all sorts of compromise prop
ositions, and there seems to be a strong
desire among business men to put an end
to the war that has opened between the
two sides. The subject is absorbing public
Interest.
Rev. Lee’s abusive speeches have shock
ed some of the men who induced him to
come here, and these are now saying they
did not know what they were getting
when they imported him, and they ad
mit that his work has hurt the cause.
Sam Jones is expected soon, and pro
hibitionists are looking forward with
much pleasure to his coming, hut they
seem inclined to want to treat Mr. Jjee
as a thing of the past.

Augusta, Ga., Oct. 26.—A special to the
Chronicle from Edgefield to-night says
that David Mackie, one of the three ne
groes fired on by the mob in Edgefield
county Tuesday night, made good his es
cape, and has not since been apprehended.
The coroner's Jury to-day held an in
quest over the bodies of the two who were
killed, and returned a verdict of death at
the hands of unknown parties.
Cancer.
Mrs. S. M. Idol, Winston, N. 0.,
writes: “Cancer is hereditary in
our family, my father, sister, and
aunt having died from this dreadful
disease. I was thoroughly alarmed,
therefore, when a malignant Can
cer appeared on my side, and at
once sought the treatment of the
best physicians. They were unable
to do any good, however, as the
Cancer continued to grow worse
anti spread. I then tried S. S. S.,
which forced the disease out, and
cured me permanently.”
