SESSION’S GREAT STRUGGLE.
FIGHT ON' IN' THE HOI'SE OVEH
THIS SCHOOL APPROPRIATION.
C cl.test of the City Attalml the
Con ill ry Member*—Mind* of Mem
ber* Pretty Well Made |i—Tlie
Debate Over n Difference off 400.-
OOO—Blalock of Fayette bends the
Fiaht for a Million, and F.lli* of
llilih Want* It Cut to *OOO,OOO.
Atlanta. Ga.. Dec. 6.-The great fight of
the session, that over the common school j
appropriation, was begun in the House
this morning, and after being waged in
red-hot fashion through two sessions,
morning and afternoon, it is still on, with
the end hard y in sight.
A conservative estimate after the day s
battle is that there will be a compromise
between the advocates of the mil.ion-dol
lar appropriation and the tax reformers,
who urge the necessity of reducing the
common schools to the same basis that
they occupied up to the year 1898. that is
a direct appropriation of $600,000. This
spirit of compromise was repeatedly man
ifested to-day by amendments proposing
SBOO,OOO as the amount of the appropria
tion. The fight in its present stage is,
however, between $600,000 and $1,000,000.
The leaders on both sides of the extreme
propositions appear to be confident of suc
cess to-night, and as long as they hold
to this feeling there will be no compromise
offered by the leaders on either side. Tlut
it is among the silent members that the
conciliatory spirit is most manifested, and
when the time comes for action, it is be
lieved that they will prevail.
Xo issue that has been before the leg
islature this session has so stirred up the
feelings of the members. A fight over the
liquor question could not develop more
Intensity of purpose, and until it is set
tled there Is little chance for any other
business. Nearly a score of speeches
were made to-day, and there is no telling
how many more are slated for to-morrow.
Every member seems to be impressed
with the idea that it is necessary for him
fo make a speech upon this issue to clear
bis conscience and square himself with
his constituents.
After all the side talk upon the question
since the opening day of the session, it is
doubtful if any one hopes to change a
Vote. The members have pretty well made
up their minds what they are going to
do, and the speeches are merely the blow
ing off of the steam that has been devel
oped in the long firing up.
Mr. Blalock of Fayette and Mr. Ellis of
Bibb made the two most effective speeches
of the day on the issue, the former as the
champion of the million dollar gift to the
school children, and the latter as the rep
resentative of the overburdened taxpay
ers.
The speech of Mr. Ellis, viewed in point
of logic and eloquence, was without doubt
the most finished that has been heard this
session and stamps this brainy young
Georgian as one of the coming men of
the stale. Durfhg its delivery he was list- i
• ened to with an attention that might be I
described. Every man in the Hall and
gallery, whether ally or opponent, gave
bis keenest faculties of ear and eye. to the
youthful representative from Macon, and
when he yielded the floor, the House
silently voted him to be the most eloquent
■Bar. in their midst.
Mr, Blalock's speech wps the antithesis
of that with which the Mr. Ellis charmed
h hearers. He struck out with sledge
hammer blows, as If he intended to smash
the House into smithereens, if it did not
take his medicine. He made a plea for
the children in his bluff, convincing way,
and aroused an outburst of applause!
which the speaker vainly attempted to
quell, when he declared that it was the }
city members against the country mem
bers.
Be boldly put the issue, town against
country, and it was this shaft called forth
t|.e applause that is seldom given in leg
islative halls. Mr. Blalock declar'd that
every man who had raised his voice
against the $1,000,000 was a city man, while
It was a significant fact that ail who stood
up there fighting for it were the homey
handed sons of toil from the farms. It
was, he said, an issue of an educated peo
ple in the towns, and an ignorant people
In the country. The cities and towns
wanted to cut off the appropriation because
they all have local system, and they would
lie little affected by the reduction.
Mr. Blalock's speech was the keynote of
the opposition to the retrenchment recom
mended by Gov. Candler, and advocated
by many of the leading men of the state.
By his arraignment of the country ngalnst
the towns, he made an appeal to the rep
resentatives of all those 117 counties that
draw more out of the state treasury in
pensions and school money, to fall in line
behind the $1,000,000 school fund, and If
retrenchment is voted down, it will be by
reason of this appeal.
Against this attempt to Incite prejudice,
the men who have been working with all
their energies to secure a reduction of our
taxes have only the argument that the
people are groaning under their burdens,
that their property is being confiscated by
the tax gatherer.
In the midst of this appeal to the pre
judices of the rural members, however, it
is a noteworthy fact that many of the
representatives who hail frbm these coun
ties that cannot bear their pan of the
state expenses, are outspoken in favor of
the reform. They say that it is not right
to compel twenty counties to bear all the
burden of the state government simply be
cause the country counties have it in their
power to do so. Among the leaders of this
class is McLaughlin of Meriwether. His
county stands as the banner county in the
list of those that get an excess out of the
public funds, drawing in pensions and for
schools $17,000 more than she pays into the
state treasury in taxes. Mr. McLaughlin
is one of the most ardent and consistent
advocates of the reduction of the school
fund.
It was Mr. Adams of Putnam who of
fered the first amendment to the commit
tee report to-day. He proposed that $600,-
000 should be raised to $8>)0.000. Following
this Mr. Everett of Polk amended with a
million, and then Mr. Morris of Cobb led
off with the debate, advocating the $600,-
060. He came from the country and de
clared that it was the country people who
were clamoring for the re suction of taxes.
Mr, Rose of Camden and Mr. Sioan of
Hall championed the million dollars, and
Mr. Hall of Bibb concluded the morning
session in an able speech in support of
the recommendation of the appropriations
commit tee.
At the afternoon session he concluded,
and was followed by Mr. Everett of Stew
art, who read in the last Democratic state
platform in support of the declaration

that the party was against the reduction
of the school fund.
Mr. Denny of Floyd, chairman of the
committee cn education, spokq forcibly of
the needs of the people and the inability
of the tax payers to continue such a large
appropriation to the common schools. Af
ter Mr. Denny of Floyd, Mr. Ellis and Mr,
Blalock made their notable speeches.
Others who spoke on the question were:
Chapeli of Muscogee, chairman of the
appropriations committee, who ably em
phasized the necessity of retrenchment,
unless there is to be an increase of the
tax rate; Mr. Easterlin of Macon, also in
favor of the reduction, and Beil of
Forsythe on the same line.
Mr. Lane of Bibb proposed a compro
mise on SBOO,OOO. He was once a teacher
himself and loved the common schools,
but took the position that the state is not
able to make the million dollar appropria
tion with cotton at 4 cents. Mr. Tatum of
Dade opposed any reduction, and denied
the truth of the proposition that the tax
rate of Georgia is higher than that of
most all other Southern states. Mr.
Bryan of Floyd closed the fight of the day
by a speech In which he took the position
that it was the working men and the pro
ducers who in the end had to bear the
brunt of any increased taxation, and for
their relief he opposed the million dollar
school fund because it was a burden to
them.
At GIST A HAS A REVIEW.
Thousand* Witness the Parade of
the Second Army Corps.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 6.—There was a gen
eral migration of the city population to
the Sand Hills to-day to witness the first
parade and review of the First Division of
the Second Army Corps.
All the facilities of the electric line, all
available vehicles, saddle horses and bicy
cles were called into service, and the au
dience was worthy of the military display,
which was a very unusual sight in this
section.
When the people saw an entire army di
vision inarch past the reviewing stand this
afternoon they saw more soldiers under
arms than a majority of them had ever
seen at one time before, in their lives.
&.aj. Gen. M, C. Butler, who was In Au
gusta to-day, expected to assist Gen.
Young in reviewing the troops, but found
that he would have to leave the city before
the hour of the review, in order to reach
his home in Edgefield and get to Savan
nah in time to take the transport for Cuba
to-morrow afternoon.
Gen. Butler is heartily in favor of Amer
ica taking all the territory that she can
lay her hands upon. He says Anglo-Saxon
countries are not in the habit of giving
up what they win, and he thinks nothing
but good can come from the United States
keeping Cuba and the Philippines.
He says that there is no doubt that we
have a rich prize in Cuba, and that the
talk of any serious trouble with the insur
gents la all made up, and that the Ameri
cans are gladly welcomed.
AUGUSTA MILL STRIKE.
1 Diets Hand* Go to Work, Other
Mill* Will Shat Down.
Augusta, Dec. 6.—The trouble here In
the Isaetta, Sibley and King mills takes
on a serious aspect to-day, so far as the
hands in the mills where there is no trou
ble, is concerned. There will be a lock
out in the other mills, if the hands in
the three mentioned do not return to work
soon.
The following was read to operatives
to-day: "These mills will be closed on
Dec. 24, unless by that time the other
mills now closed in Augusta and vicinity,
can lie reopened with a full complement
of hands at the reduced scale of wages.”
This was read in the "Augusta," En
terprise and Aiken Manufacturing Com
pany. It is believed this will have the
effect of compelling the hands in the Sib
ley, King and Isaetta mills to resume
work.
DICKER WANTS IT INVESTIGATED.
A Statement of the Ca*e Forwarded
to Washington.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 6.—Henry A. Rucker,
internal revenue collector of Atlanta, wno
has been charged by Mrs. Barbour with
being responsible for her husband's sui
cide, because of alleged persecution, to
day wired the authorities at Washington
a statement of the declaration made by
Mrs. Baroour.
Rucker asked that an investigation lie
made-at once, and wishes to be relieved
as custodian of the custom house so that
his official duties could have no bearing
on the Investigation.
Barbour, who was a white man, had
acted as Janitor of tne custom house for
some time and was appointed from Wash
ington, it is said, in opposition to Rucker's
wishes. Barbour's brother was at one
time speaker of the Connecticut House of
Representatives. Rucker at a negro.

Equalization Hill Getting in
Shape.
Atlanta, Dec. 6.—The Savannah tax as
sessors, as they are flow constituted, will
cease to exist after April 1 next.
The bill repealing the act creating the
present commission, with an amendment
postponing its operation until April 1 next,
passed the Senate this morning, after hav
ing been held up since last Friday, at the
instance of several Savannahians.
Mr. McDonough, who went home Sat
urday and had a conference with the city
officials, returned this morning, and short
ly after his arrival had a conference with
Senator Grovenstein, which resulted in an
amendment to the bill as stated, and its
passage through the Senate shortly there
after at the request of Senator Groven
stein. With the amendment, the bill is
fully acceptable to the Mayor and aider
men.
Most of the day's session in the Senate
was spent in work upon Senator McLes
ter's bill providing for boards of tax equal
izers. Many amendments were offered and
discussed, and the bill was unfinished
when the hour for adjournment arrived.
It ia a much more complete measure
than that under which the boards of
equalizers were appointed several years
ago. and if it becomes a law, which seems
altogether likely, the festive tax dodger
w-11l have to hustle to conceal his holdings.
Mr. Duncan of Houston introduced a bill
in the House this afternoon, repealing the
Venable insurance brokers’ law, and an
other bill reducing the deposit required
by the state from foreign fire insurance
companies doing business in Georgia from
$25,000 to $5,000.
Mr. Tatum of Dade introduced a bill
providing for the appointment of a state
veterinary by the commissioner of agri
culture, to be paid $5 a day for actual
time worked.
The determination of the House to cut
the pay of the railroad commissioners crop
ped out again to-day in the consideration
of the general appropriation bill. When
the clause appropriating money to pay
the railroad commissioners came up, Mr.
Lane of Sumter, the author of the bill
to cut them down, offered an amendment
appropriating only $2,000 apiece for the
three commissioners, and after a hot de
bate the amendment was adopted, though
several members argued that it was ille
gal to cut, in that way, a salary that was
fixed by law.
The $1,200 a year allowed the State
Treasurer as bank examiner was also cut
out of the appropriation bill upon the
theory that he ougjit to do the work of
that position without extra compensation
by the state, as he draws $1,200 extra for
it from the banks.
An ineffectual effort was made to se
cure an increase of the committee's rec
ommendation for the State Normal School
at Athens, but the House refused to go
above the $12,500 for that institution.
GOVERNOR APPOINTS PARK.
Fight Over Da*aon City Court
Judgeship Ended.
Atlanta, Dec. 6.—Gov. Candler to-day
ended the fight over the judgeship of the
City court of Dawson by the appointment
of J. G. Park, whose nomination yester
day was held up in the Senate by his re
quest.
Mr. M. C. Edwards, who was Judge of
the County Court that was abolished, and
who was an applicant for the new judge
ship, declares that his defeat was brought
about by the opposition of Commissioner
of Agriculture Stevens, because he had en
tered suit for a client against Mr. Stevens.
Mr. Stevens, however, denies that there
is any truth in this statement, and says
that while it is true that Mr. Edwards has
filed suit against him for money that he
does not owe, nevertheless he did not op
pose his appointment to the Judgeship on
any personal grounds.
GUYTON TOWN COUNCIL.
Election of Officers Again Post
poned.
Guyton, Ga., Dec. 6.—Council held the
regular monthly meeting last night. . Al
derman-elect C. A. J. Sweat took the oath
of office. The meeting was a harmonious
one until the head of miscellaneous busi
ness was reached. There was a full meet
ing of the board with the exception of
Alderman B. B. Cubbedge. The election
of officers for the next year had been post
poned for two months on account of the
vacancy caused by the removal of Dr. H.
R. Tarver, and some of the members of
the board insisted that this election should
be held without further delay, while others
thought that this should be held over un
til there was a full attendance of the
board. The discussions over this matter
were animated. The only solution of ihe
question was to adjourn the meeting until
the presence of Alderman Cubbedge could
be secured. Mayor Baynard called on Mr.
Cubbedge to-day and has his promise to
be in Guyton one night this week.

Dll. HUTSON:S DISADVANTAGE.
Hl* Pistol Would Not Revolve, Hence
He Suffered.
Beaufort, S. C., Dee. 6.—A shooting af
lair took place In this place yesterday.
Two prominent young physicians—Dr. B.
M. Elliott and Dr. T. O. Hutson—had a
disagreement over some business matters.
Dr. Elliott, hearing that Dr. Hutson had
been talking about him, went to the lat
ter’s office to have an explanation. The
next thing the outside world knew was
the sound of pistol shooting, and Dr. Hut
son was found wounded in the right breast
near the right shoulder. The ball had
entered there and had not been removed
up to this hour. He also had a wound
on the side of the face, presumably from
another ball of the same pistol. Dr. El
liott was not touched. In fact, it is
claimed that Dr, Hutson's pistol refused
to revolve, and he could not use it effectu
ally. It is claimed that Dr. Hutson first
drew on his opponent. In the absence of
direct information, it is impossible to give
an accurate account of the shooting and
what Jed up to it. Dr. Hutson's wound,
while not considered fatal, precludes an
interview with him on the subject. The
young men are both highly connected and
esteemed
