lEIIIST PNK
STATE WANTS TO USE PUBLIC
‘PROPERTY FUND, THIS
TIME AS INTER-
• EST.
Mandamus proceedings were filed Mon
day by Attorney General Terrell tn
the name of Allen D. Candler as governor
against R. E. Park, as treasurer, to com
pel the treasurer to apply $35.000 of the
public property fund of SH4.WO to the pay
ment of the interest on the public debt,
which falls due during the year 1902 and
which will amount to 8325.U00.
The suit is altogether a friendly one.
Treasurer Park said this morning that he
was anxious to use the money, but as the
court had held several months ago that
the public property fund could be used
for no other purpose than the payment of
. the public debt be felt that he was
obliged to make the contest. Besides,
the legislature had directed that the con
test be made. The state is tn pretty bad
condition financially and unless the mon
ey can be used there will be a big deficit
In the treasury. The idea is to use some
of the public property fund to pay the
Interest on the public debt and to use the
money which has been raised for taxation
for the payment of the interest to pay
the appropriations and other general ex
penses.
Treasurer Park, ft is said, will be al-
• lowed 1900 by Governor Candler from the
contingent fund for the purpose of pay
ing his lawyers, as it is the state’s suit.
In the last mandamus suit Treasurer
Park's attorneys served without pay.
The main argument to be used by the
state in the suit will be that the Interest
on the public debt is a part of the public
debt and that the use of the public prop
erty fund for the payment of the interest
is not in violation of the provisions of the
. constitution.
HOWELL RESOLUTION
HAS BEEN SUSTAINED
Judge John S. Candler, of the Stone
Mountain circuit. decided Tuesday
that the Howell resolution, appropriating
$325,350 of the public property fund for the
payment of the interest on the bonded
debt of the state, was entirely constitu
tional, and granted the mandamus abso
lute asked for by Governor Candler,
which mandamus orders State Treasurer
Robert E. Park to transfer the sum men
tioned from the public property fund to
the Interest fund.
The bearing of the case occurred in the
office of Attorney General TerrelL Only
the judge and the attorneys for both
sides were present. Only about 30 minutes
were occupied in the hearing of the case.
Both sides agreed on a statement of facts
and the attorneys outlined briefly their
contentions. Former Chief Justice Logan
E. Bleckley and Orville A. Park repre
sented Treasurer Park and Attorney Gen
eral Terrell represented Governor Candler.
The case will be appealed to the supreme
court at once, as it is the desire of both
sides to have the highest tribunal in the
state to pass on the question.

AMERICA TO ENGLAND
DOTS AND DASHES DO
SIGNALS READ BETWEEN NEW-
FOUNDLAND AND CORNWALL,
1300 MILES APART.
NCW YORK. Dec. 17.—M. I. Pupln. pro
fessor of electrical mechanics at Columbia
university, in an Interview, says he fully
believes Marconi succeeded in signalling
between the coasts of New Foundland and
Cornwall. England, by his system of wire
less telegraphy. Continuing the profes
sor said:
■'The signals were very faint, as I read
the report, but that has little to do with
it. The distance, which is about 1.800
miles between these two points, was over
come. and further development of the
sending instruments is all that is re
quired.”
Professor Paupln said that members of
the Society of Electrical Engineers had
discussed the subject two years ago. and
many were at that time of the opinion
that the day was not far distant when
wireless messages would be seat one thou
sand miles or more. Again continuing he
said:
"One point which is of great value and
Interest to the scientific wolrd is that Mar
coni has proved conclusively that the cur
vature of the earth is no obstacle to the
svstem of wireless telegraphy. Some were
inclined to think, and there were many
heated discussions upon it, that the cur
vature limited the system. All Marconi's
efforts of late have been directed toward
perfecting and making his sending appa
ratus more powerful and giving a great
er height to the sending end. It still re
mains to be proved, however, that heavy
banks of fog. low hanging clouds and
heavy showers along and in the path of
the transmitted electric wave will not en
tirely obstruct its progress. The pre
sumption generally Is that they will, as
experiments, thus far have proved. At
mospheric conditions also have much to
do with and strongly affect the electric
wave.’*

SHIPSTALK TO EACH OTHER
OVER HUNDRED MILES APART
NEW YORK. Dec. 16.—The Cunarder
Etruria, which has just arrived here, was
in communication for more than five
hours in middle ocean with her sister
ship, the Umbria.
Long before either ship sighted the oth
er their commanders were conversing by
the Marconi wireless system.-
The position of each ship was known on
the other hours before their main trucks
showed above the horizon. The Etruria
left Liverpool on December 7, the same
day the Umbria steamed out of New
York. They were 1.630 miles east north
east of Sandy Hook when they passed
each other last Wednesday, or in latitude
45.17 and longitude 51.07.
Five hours before that, or when they
were fully 100 miles apart, the receiver on
the Etruria began to click warningly.
The operator replied and then the word
"Umbria” was slowly spelled out on the
Etruria’s instrument. Then followed the
Umbria's location.
The Etruria replied, giving her loca
tion. which showed her to be fully 100
miles away from >he other vessel.
The Umbria sent her number of passen
gers. the fact .that all was well and the
latest news from New York. The Etruria
sent word of the burning of the great
Liverpool exchange quadrangle, which
occurred December 7, while the Etruria
was lying in the Mersey.

H. A, JENKINS
PASSES AWAY
HE WAS EX-SPEAKER OF GEORGIA
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WAS ILL FOR SEVERAL
WEEKS.
EATONTON, Ga„ Dec. 17.—Hon. H. A.
Jenkins, ex-speaker of the Georgia house,
died at 1 o'clock today. after several
weeks' Illness. He had improved in the
last week and his death was unexpected.
Hon. H. A. Jenkins was one of the
state's leading men.
He was speaker of the house to
the election of Hon. John D. Little, and
served with distinction.
Before Mr. Jenkins* election as speaker
he served with signal ability in the legis
lature one term as chairman of the gen
eral judiciary committee.
At Mr. Jenkins’ home he was greatly
beloved. Shortly after his term as speaker
expired Mr. Jenkins was a prominent can
didate for governor, but later decided not
to make the race.
Mr. Jenkins was a man of pleasing but
striking personality. His rotund face and
figure were accentuated by a large,
broad-brimmed felt hat which he always
wore. He was not only an able man, but
a pleasant companion and numbered his
friends by the score.

• ■ ■
PITTSBURG, Dec. 16.—The crest of the
flood and me lowest point reached this
winter by the mercury were both regis
tered at the same time, 8 o’clock a. m.,
when the Smithfield street bridge marks
showed 25 feet 8 inches of water in the
Monongahela river end the government
thermometer indicated 5 degrees above,
zero.
The rivers are now falling here and at
the headwaters and the temperature is
steadily rising.
A flood and cold wave at the same
time is almost unprecedented and only a
sudden drop In the temperature averted
one of me greatest floods in the history
of Pittsburg.
As it was the lower parts of the Point
Distant and Duquesne and lowlands along
the Monongahela river south side were
submerged.
In Allegheny, the river front was en
tirely under water, including Pittsburg
and Western railroad, Lacrock, Robinson,
Hope, Balkan, Walnut, Cherry, Madison
and River avenues.
The cellars in many Jiovees were flooded
and people were compelled to move. For
the river men and dwellers along the
river banks of Pittsburg and Allegheny it
was the most fearful eight l experienced in
many years. Similar conciticns have been
practically unknown to this generation.
Hundreds of men toiled all night with
the gigantic coal tows, tied up to the*
landings on both sides df all three rivers,
in the face of a bitter cold wind.
Drenched at times with the splashes of
foam, their clothes frozen on them imme
diately, their suffering was awful.

SOUTH DAKOTA SUIT
MAY CAUSE OTHERS
AMOUNT OF REPUDIATED BONDS
WILL REACH ONE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS. -
CHARLOTTE, N. C„ Dec. 16.—The suit
brought by South Dakota against the
state of North Carolina in the United
States supreme court to force the pay
ment of certain bonds issued in aid of t'he
Western North Carolina railroad is at
tracting considerable attention. These
bonds were compromised at 25 cents on the
dollar. *
Governor Aycock has employed Hon.
James E. Shepherd, former chief justice
of the supreme court of this state; ex-
Superior Court Judge James H. Merrl
mon, and Mr. George Rountree to repre
sent the state in the defence of this suit.
After citing a number of precedents. J.
C. L. Harris, of Raleigh, in writing of the
case in today's Observer says:
"It would seem, therefore, that the ju
risdiction of the supreme court in the
suit of South Dakota against the state
of North Carolina cannot be successfully
attacked. If this position Is well taken,
then, and In that event, this suit will be
come at once of great national import
ance.
"The states besides South Dakota have
passed acts authorizing the prosecution
of su-ts similar,to that brought by South
Dakota against the state of North Car
olina. The states of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida. Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and
Arkansas, perhaps other states, have
bonds outstanding, to the amount of one
hundred millions of dollars—principal and
interest—which are legal and just, but
which have been repudiated and which
the states, for one reason and another,
refuse to pay either principal or Interest.
The amount of the 'special tax fund’ of
the state of North Carolina which is
now outstanding is ten millions of dol
lars, with Interest at 6 per cent for thirty
two years, which would make the debt
of this state alone at Uhls time thirty
millions of dollars, principal and inter
est. The principal and interest of the
debts of the other states will probably
raise the total to one hundred millions of
dollars. These bonds are now being col
lected by a trust company of the city of
New York, and the South Dakota suit
against the state of North Carolina Is
doubtless the first step in the effort to
compel the payment of the various repu
diated bonds of the states hereinbefore
mentioned. If the South Dakota suit is
upheld, tnen donations of bonds will be
made to the state and the other states
which have passed acts authorizing suits
to be prosecuted where bonds have been
acquired by donation, purchase or other
wise. and the state is the real party in
interest, anu other suits will be brought in
the supreme court of the states which
own the bonds and against the states is
suing the bonds.”

BIRMINGHAM. Ala., Dec. 16.—1 n a test
case just decided by Judge Samuel E.

arrested at the instance of the board of
health on the charts of practicing medi
cine without, a license, he not having
passed the examination required by the

the practice of any healing art is pro

first passed and a certificate obtained.
Much interest Is felt In the case.

HALLS AT UNIVERSITY
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, Athens.
Ga., Dec. 17.—Both Candler hall and Den
mark hall have been completed and turn
ed over to the University of Georgia and
will be ready for occupancy on the re
opening of college after the
holiday s, on January 3, 1902.
The cry given so long by this university
for more dormitories and mess halls was
at last heard by the Georgia legislature
during the session of 1000 and answered
very generously by appropriating $35,000 to
make possible these handsome buildings.
This has long been the need of this great
institution—dormitories and mess halls on
the large campus to centralize the stu
dents—and great things are predicted for
university life at old Georgia, since so
many students are unable to live within
her spacious grounds in sight of her
classic walls.
MAN ISMANGLED~
BY CAR WHEELS
MACON, Dec. 16.—A white man about 40
years old and supposed to be Jim Foley, a
plumber, was found literally torn to
pieces yesterday morning soon after the
4 o’clock train went toward Atlanta from
Macon.
The theories suggested are that the
man either lay down on the track with
suicidal Intent or else overtaken and
crushed while he was trying to cross the
trestle, or he might have been riding on
the rods of the passenger train and lost
his hold.
Father and Child Mangled by Train.

WILL RESIGN
JANUARY IB
ATTORNEY GENERAL TERRELL
TO RETIRE WHEN PENDING
BUSINESS IS DISPOSED
OF BY HIM.
Attorney General J. M. Terrell will prob
ably resign his office on January 10th and
at the same time make his formal an
nouncement as a candidate for governor.
This announcement was made Monday
morning by one of Mr. Terrell’s friends,
and is regarded as authoritative. Mr. Ter
rell still declines to talk. Mr. Terrell
would probabfy resign earlier than Janu
ary 10th if it were not for the case ot the
Georgia Railroad vs. Comptroller Gen
eral Wright, which case will come up
In the United States court about January
Bth.
He will represent the state in the man
damus suit wwnich Is to be filed tomor
row against State Treasurer Park, re
garding the public property fund, and
when he comp.etes that he will turn his
attention to the Georgia railroad suit.
An effort is being made to have that
case heard on January 2 and
if this can be done, Mr. Terrell’s res
ignation will probably come sooner than
is now intenue—
It is understood that his political head
quarters will be in the Kimball house, and
that as soon as he resigns he will begin
work on his campaign. The fact that he
will resign in such a short time will no
doubt be a surprise to the public as it
was stated some time ago that he would
not tender his resignation until after the
meeting of the state Democratic executive
committee. This committee will meet
some time in March to make the neces
sary arrangements for the primary. It
is said that Mr. Terrell will make a num
ber of speeches during the campaign, and
it is probable that he will go Into nearly
every county »n the state.
With the announcement that his resig
nation is so soon to occur comes the
question of his successor. Governor Can
dler, who has the appointing power, has
not and will not intimate who he Is going
to appoint. In fact, the governor says
there have been no resignations just yet
and the matter is not now before him.
The names of Judge N. L. Hutchins, of
Lawrenceville, and Hon. Ed T. Brown,
special attorney of the Western and At
lantic railway, hfive been frequently
mentioned as probable successors to Mr.
Terrell. George M. Napier, of Monroe,
has also been suggested as a possible
man. All three are strong men, and
should they offer for the place which is
to be made vacant by Mr. Terrell, Gov
ernor Candler will have a hard time in
making his selection.
There are already three candidates in
the race for the position. These candi
dates will have to be nominated at the
coming primary, and the election will oc
cur next fall. Judge ’John C. Hart, of
Union Point, Is an avowed candidate and
has been for some time. Former Sena
tor R. T. Fouche, of Rome, is said to be
In the race, as is Representative W. M.
Toomer, of Ware county.
For $1.40 we will send The Semi-

greatest offer ever made and you
should advantage of it without

TURKEY AND BULGARIA
TO PUT DOWN BRIGANDAGE
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Advices which
have been received here in an official
quarter from Vienna indicate that the
Austro-Hungarian government is making
strong representation to both Turkey and
Bulgaria, with the object of Inducing
those countries to take suitable and ef
fective steps to put down the state of out
lawry and brigandage on their borders,
says the Tribune’s London correspondent.
It Is believed this action of the Austro-
Hungarian government Is the result of
frequent conferences which the American
minister In Vienna has recently had with
Count Golouchowsky In reference to the
case of Miss Stone.

They met at a cross road and each party
mistook the other for the burglars and

thought the wounds of any of them will
prove fatal.
