Boon for Economy's Sake—Mesaafre
Not Head nt Veterdaj' Session.
Flnil Hill Introduced.
Atlanta, Qa„ Ocl. 27. -To-day was spent
by the legislature in reviewing th. last
annual message of Gov. W. Y. Atkinson,
and in canvassing the vole for Governor
and state house officers cast in the re
cent election. These w< re the main is
sues of the session.
While they were being carried monoto
nously along there was a lively side issue
enacted by the candidates for judge and
solicitor, who thronged Ihe lobbies, sur
rounded by iheir friends, working lik#
beavers. According to the programme
outlined, the Democratic caucus for the
naming of the new judges and solicitors
—the last that the legislature of Georgia
wiil be permitted to select uniil the con
stitution shall be changed again—was set
for to-night, and the rival candidates
fairly ran over one another in their eag
erness to make the most of the closing
hours of opportunist .
In the Senate there was an incident that
was magnified into quite a little sensa
tion for a while. It occurred when the
Governor's message was presented to that
body. After it had been read a motion
•was made that 500 copies be printed. It is
the custom to print the Governor's an
nual message, so that it may be read over
carefully and digested by the salons, and
there has never been any opposition to
this custom heretofore. Strange enough,
however, when the motion was put to a
vote this morning only thirleen of tite for
ty-four senators voted in favor ol' it. Thus
the proposition to print the nu ssage of
the retiring Governor was Ignomlniously
killed. It looked like a deliberately plan
ned snub to Gov. Atkinson, and when the
action became known in I capital there
was some warm comment by the Gov
ernor's friends.
Senator West took in the situation quick
ly, and by a few well-timed words secured
a reconsideration of the lost motion, at
the same time substituting .ate providing
for the printing of 200 copies, which was
accepted. This smoothed matters out
somewhat, but did not entirely remove
the Impression that the Senate had been
guilty of snubbing tlie Governor.
It cannot be said, of course, with cer
tainty that there was any preconcerted de
sign to affront Gov. Atkinson, but in vie.v
of the other things that have happened
recently it looked very much as if the
Senate did not cure whether it pleased
the Governor or not. It is also true that
some of the politicians who are conspicu
ously arrayed againsi anything that Gov.
Atkinson favors, chuckled mightily over
the incident. The explanation offered by
some of the senators is that the motion
was voted down for economy’s sake. It
would probably have cost $3 more to print
500 copies than 200. So for the sake of
this paltry sum the Senate put itself In
the light of snubbing the chief executive
of the state.
The Governor's message was not read
in the House to-day, as the time from
the opening of the session until the con
vening of the joint session for the can
vassing of the returns of the election was
taken up in drawing formats.
The committee appointed yesterday by
Speaker Little to look Into the returns
from Macon <’Ounty reported that J. J.
Easterlln was the duly elected representa
tive. The returns from that county sent
up by the committee failed to name the
representative, by a clerical oversight. Mr.
Easterlln, as a matter of fact, had re
ceived practically the unanimous vote of
his county, and was given his seal upon
teport of the committee.
Speaker Little to-day named his com
mittee on rules, Mr. Cnlvin, the veteran
legislator from Richmond county, being
chairman. The other members of the com
mittee are Mr. Freeman of Coweta, Mr.
Bell of Forsyth, Mr. Chappell of Mus
cogee, Mr. Denny of Floyd, Mr. Blalock
of Fayette, Mr. Brandon of Fulton, Mr.
Ellis of Bibb and Mr. Allen of Baldwin.
The first bill of the session made its
appearance in the Senate this morning.
It was Introduced by Senator McLester
of the Twenty-fourth district. It was one
to revise the old law for a board to equal
ize the value of taxable property. In
brief, the btl! provides for the appoint
ment of three citizens from each county
to constitute a board of equalizers. These
gentlemen shall receive $2 a day while
they are in the discharge of their duties.
It shall be the duty of the hoard to as
sess any property at fts real value, when
it has been returned at too small a figure
by the owrter. It also provides that no
tax returns shall be accepted until they
have been passed on by the board of
equalizers. It was referred to the finance
committee.

an is preparing to go (o Savannah if the

THE HOT* WERE NOT WHIPPED.
Blue Stripes on Lewis MeEoy's lloily
Satisfactorily Aeenniited for.
Wayeross, Ga.. Oct. 27.—Coroner Jack
son Grimes li ft W'aycross to-day at noon
for Beach, to hold an inquest over the
remains of Lewis McFoy, the youth who
died Tuesday, while lying on the depot
platform wailing for the train. The dead
body of tbe boy lay on the platform from
Tuesday morning till Wednesday evening,
when it was removed to lee cemetery, two
miles away, and buried. The burial was
conducted by C. W. Deen & Co.’s mana
ger, Mr. Williamson.
Dr. Parker examined Ihe body and
found no signs of the whip. Herbert Rig
gins and R. M. Lewis of Beach examined
the body Tuesday morning, and, seeing
blue stripes on the back, concluded that
McFoy had been whipped; in fad. such
a rumor came to their ears, resulting in
an examination of the corpse. They ex*
pressed a desire lo have tin inquest held,
and telephoned from Sissoms station to
Way cross for tile coroner. Tuesday after
noon Dr. Parker of Nic'nolls passed
through Beach on Ihe train, and was en
gaged by George W. Deen to make an ex
amination of ibo body, with the result
stated. The coroner did not learn of the
message till about noon to-day, and tie
hurried off to hold the inquest. It seems
that Riggins and Lewis were satisfied with
Dr. Parker's examination, and told Mr.
Det n they did not rare any more about
an inqu st. Mr. Deen went over to Reach
this morning, carrying burial clothes for
tile dead body, with Ihe intention of hav
ing the burial attended to decently. He
found that the burial occurred yesterday
evening. He went to C. W. Deen <ftr Co.’s
convict camp and saw Williamson, the
man in charge, and Mcßlmmon. the whip
ping master, and ascertained from them
that neither McFoy nor Henderson hid
been whipped at all, anti that the boys
were only required to pack “scrape” tur
pi mine in barrels with I heir feet, and
ditl not wear chains or stripes. Mcßim
mon slept in the same house with tbe
boys, and said he treated them kindly.
Williamson said he sent the boys to Way
cross for medical attention at iheir own
request, and told them to return when
well and complete their sentences. He
paid their railroad fares. He said he of
fered to send for I)r. Dege at Sessoms,
and the lioys preferred to come to Way
cross.
Henderson's body left last night by ex
press for Durham, N. C*. The coroner ex
amined the body, and intended to hold an
inquest, but decided that it was unnec
essary. Mr. Deen says that Dr. Parker
said the blue stripes on McFoy's back
were caused by wrinkles in clothes as he
lay on his back.
CONTEST IN TELFAIR.
Allasooil Against Stewart, for Shrr-
HT—Political Notes.
Mcßae. Ga., Oct. 27.—1n the contested
election case of F. M. Allagood, present
sheriff, against J. D. Stewart, who had a
majority of about 40 votes, according to
the returns, at the recent election, the evi
dence was taken before Judge J. F. Mcßae.
Jr., and will go to the Superior Court
judge for final decision. The main points
in the contest are the failure of the man
agers at Helena precinct to make proper
returns to the consolidators and to get
them to the court house by the time re
quired by law, although the precinct is
only one mile from the court house and
Ihe returns from Mount Onrmal precinct
were sent in by mail, which is not in ac
cordance with the law governing elections.
Mr. Allagood is seeking to have the votes
of those precincts thrown out on these
grounds, which would elect him, as Stew
art had majorities at these places. Mr.
Allagood has been sheriff for the past six
years and has made an efficient officer.
Mr. Stewart is a good man, and is fight
ing the contest vigorously. Both are Dem
ocrats.
Col. Wilkinson, Republican fusion can
didate for Congress against Mr. Brantley,
and Mr. Hanson of Macon, are advertised
to speak here on Nov. 2. They will find
Republican votes very scarce in this coun
ty. There are no white Republicans and
few Populists. The Populists barely got
a foothold in Telfair, even when the pariy
was at its best. In 1891, when they de
veloped their greatest strength, Judge
Hines, for Governor, got 219 votes. In
1896 Mr. Wright got about 100 and at the
recent election the vote had dwindled down
to 43 for Mr. Hogan. But many of those
who supported Mr. Hogan will not vote
for the Republican fusion candidate for
Congress.
liAIBENS COURT POSTPONED.
Oconee and Western Rond Reported
Sold to TYritclitsvllle nud Teiinille.
Dublin, Ga., Oct. 27.—The adjourned
term of Laurens Superior Court, which
was to lie held next week, has been post
pone! one week, and will begin on Nov.
7. Judge Hart has sent an order to the
clerk to this effect.
There was some doubt expressed by
leading lawyers here as to the legality of
adjourning the court during vjyatlon.
which was done last July. Had the court
been held as adjourned, in many cases
appeals would have been carried to higher
courts on this ground. To prevent this.
Judge Hart has vacated that order, and
called a special term for the first Monday
in November, when the same jury will
serve.
It is reported here that the Oconee and
Western Railroad has been sold to the
Wrightsville and Tennille. General Man
ager England, of the former road, is now
in New York, it is said, to close the
trade.
The Oconee and Western Is forty miles
long, running from this place to Hawkins
ville, crossing the Southern at Empire.
The Augusta Southern tried to buy it last
year, and alone time it was thought had
•lone so, but the negotiations fell through.
The Wrlghtsviile and Tennille is a valua
ble feeder to theCenttal. and if it secures
the Oconee and Western, w.ll prnve still
more so.

CITY BREVITIES.
The ladies of Trinity Church will give
their first social for the season this even
ing from 8 to 11 o'clock, in the church
parlors, at President and Jefferson streets.
Thunderbolt shell road Is rapidly getting
into a shape that will make it a very un
desirable drive. In fact, this has already
been done, and the formerly hard and
smooth thoroughfare has been 60 cut up
by the heavy army wagons that are con
stantly passing over it in streams as to
make it a soft bed of sand and shell. In
places the damage to the road is much
greater than in others. There are spots
where the crust of the shells has been cut
down for apparently a foot. Repairs lo
the road after the troops leave will cost
a great deal.
Arrested for Assault.
Bob Thomas, aged 27 years, was arrest
ed by Policeman Deignan yesterday for
