COL. ESTILL TALKS
OF TERRELL'S
PLATFORM
SAYS THAT HE ENDORSES MUCH
OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT
* OF THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL.
Another of the gubernatorial candidates
has some remarks to make upon the an
nouncement of Joseph M. Terrell.
South Georgia’s candidate. Colonel J.
H. Estill.was in Atlanta Wednesday after
noon. and while here took occasion to
briefly review the expressed opinions of
his opponent. He and Mr. Guerry both
declare that Mr. Terrell’s platform is
largely their own. and there is a kind of
intimation from each that he was in some
way the anther of the more conservative
expressions, or. a least, had assisted Mr.
Terrell In coming to his conclusions.
Colonel Estill characterizes Mr. Guem's
proposed joint debates as nonsense, and
says he hopes there’ll be no more of them
in Georgia.
•T think that is a good political docu
ment." Colonel Estill said, speaking of
Mr. Terrell’s card. “Mr. Terrell has en
larged on what 1 said some months ago,
and in the main I agree with him. There
la one exception, however. I notice that
bo says none but ’deserving’ Confederate
veterans should receive pensions from the
state. I am in favor of restricting pen
sions entirely to indigent soldiers and
y their widows. Confederate veterans may
be deserving, but still able to earn their
living, and such should not receive the
state's bounty.
“Mr. Terrell says the people of the
state should have prohibition if they
want it- Nobody disputes that proposi
tion. but I am opposed to state prohibi
tion. I think it would mean more whis
ky, "Worse whisky and blind tigers from
one end of the sta’e to the other. State
prohibition has not succeeded in any
state where it has been tried. The result
has been a lot of hypocrites and law
breakers. In the state of Kansas, with
nearly 7.000 less people than Georgia, the
United States government has Issued 3,001
liquor licenses, while in Georgia there are
only a few over LX® This shoves clearly
to my mind that local option is better
than prohibition.
"I agree with Mr. Terrell on the school
question. I believe the state ought to
have a better school system. The pres
ent system is a disgrace. Outside of the
cities, some towns and a few counties. I
might say we have practically no school
tvstem at all.
Speaking of lobbying, on which Mr.
Guerry took Mr. Terrell to task. Colonel
Estill said If the right kind men are
sent to the legislature the lobbyist can
have noipifluence.

ft DEPUTY SHERIFF
TWO BULLETS PUT THROUGH HIS
. COAT BY A MAN BELIEVED TO
BE JEFF VAN HORN.
BIRMINGHAM. AU.. Jan. 25.—Deputy
Sheriff J. A. Gaddis, of this city, believes
that he “flushed’’ Jeff Van Horn, one of
the Jefferson county prison escapes, near
Alabama city and he has two holes in his
coat which were made by a bullet fired at
him by the party. The man supposed to be
Van Horn was seated on the railroad
track beyond Alabama City, when the
deputy approached him about 9 o’clock at
night. When the deputy was within about
•0 feet of him he jumped up and ran. at
the same time firing. The fire was return
ed and the man fell, but quickly regained
his feet and ran Into a creek nearby and
disappeared. The creek was lined on either
side with trees and as it was veiy dark
it was impossible to tell which way’he had
gone, and «tie made good his escape. The
people in the neighborhood do not believe
that the man was Van Horn but think it
was Shug Huffman, the slayer of Deputy
Marshal J. N. Holsenback.
Harry Adama a young man who was in
jail here with Van Horn. Frank Duncan.
George Bullard and J. A. Dye. has been
arrested in Mobile. He was released about
the time the men escaped and went to
Mobile. There he told so much about the
escape that it was concluded by the po
lice that he must have had a hand in it.
He says that he knew all about it and
it is supposed that ail the other prisoners
in the white ward were equally as well
informed.
> Duncan has eluded every effort to cap
ture him and there are those who believe
he is in hiding in this city, waiting for a
favorable opportunity to get away.

MAY LOSE FORTUNE BY
THE DEATH OF ALBON
NEW YORK. Jan. 24.-After two years
of labor under the hot sun under the
miasmic streams of Panama seeking for
gold, then obtaining a valuable conces
sion for pearl fishing in the bay of Pana
ma. Count Serge de Morlny. a young no
b.eman of France, \has returned on the
steamship Alliance from Coign and learn
ed the news of the death of General Car
los Alban, on whose living the conces
sion perhaps depc _ oed.
Unarmed, but nevertheless a soldier of
fortune, the young count has cast his
lot with those Inured to hardship and
pioneer work, and during the two year's
spent in Colombia he has developed two
gold mining companies. He considered his
.pearl fishing concession the coup of his
life.
On Tuesday of last week, he received
the final papers in the transaction from
General Alban and the only thing that
remained was the acknowledgment by the
government of Bogota which was a mat
ter of form, and Governor General Alban
assured Count de Moriny that he might
proceed at once to the United States and
the result would be cabled to him.
“Now.” said the count, “where I stand
I do not know. The concession which is
in operation for fifteen years. Is worth
not less than SIBO,OOO a year and the death
Oi Alban, who was the bacKoone of the
government tn the department of Pana
ma. may result in an overthrow of the
ruling powers in Bogota. I know that
the matter has been forwarded to Bogota,
but you can imagine I shall be fearful of
the result until I hear of favorably ac
tion. especially wnen the country is in
a state of revolution.”

THAT GOVERNMENT CASH IS
SAID TO BE FOUND
J. H. Alexander, a colored messenger in
the office of Major P. C. Stevens, paymas
ter of the United States army, was ar
rested Friday for the second time
by Captain R. F. Wright, secret service
agent, on the charge of 'stealing the gov
ernment funds amounting to 14.769 which
disappeared from the satchel
of Major Stevens November 8 last as he
was leaving the city for Pensacola, Fla.,
to pay off troops.
The arrest was made at the office of
Major Stevens on the ninth floor of the
Empire building about 9 o'clock Friday
morning, soon after the negro arrived to
open the office for the day. He was taken
from the office of the paymaster to Cap
tain Wright's office on the top floor of the
custom house, where he was questioned
for more than two hours. His presence
during that time was unnoticed, as Cap
tain Wright’s office was locked during the
entire time and no one knew that he had
been there. The negro, as he had pre
viously done when arrested at the time
of the disappearance of the money, stout
ly protested his Innocence.
A statement which Alexander made on
the 11th of this month to Colonel James
S. Scully and Lieutenant Colonel J. H.
Calef in regard to the discovery of $2,755
of the missing mono’ hid away in his
room in the paymaster’s department on
the morning of the same date led to the
arrest Friday morning. The statement was
dictated to the above officers by the ne
gro himself and written down by Colonel
Calef.
The statement is to the effect that Al
exander had been instructed by Captain
Wright, of the United States secret ser
vice. to keep a close watch on the rooms
in the paymaster’s' department and see
that no one came there and returned the
money in whole or in part, as whoever
had taken tne money would very probab
ly place it in his room in an attempt to
throw the guilt on him. He says that in
pursuance to these Instructions he kept
a close watch on the rooms and that on
the morning of the 11th of this month
found $2,755 in currency hidden away in
a packing chest underneath some blank
paper. The money was put where he said
he found it.
The seret service men, it is understood,
believ? that Alexander has fallen Into the
trap that they set for him and they think
they have a strong clew to work upon. By
representing to Alexander that the finding
of the court did not necessarily clear him
of the guilt and by leading the way for
him to make a return of the money if he
had taken it. it was believed that he
would fall into the trap if he had the
money and represent it to have been re
turned.

following here.

MISSISSfpP? SCANDALS
OCCUPY LAW MAKERS
JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 25.—1 t seems that
the Mississippi legislature is going to
spend a greater portion of its time in in
vestigating scandals and charges of mis
management. The penitentiary investi
gation committee is now meeting every
night, taking testimony and trying to get
to the bottom of the penitentiary muddle,
so that those who are guilty of the mis
management of the state affairs in this
regard can be found out and punished and
those who are nnnocent exonerated. A
committee is investigating the charge of
immorality among the Greek letter fra
ternities at the University of Mississippi
and today a resolution was introduced in
the house creating a committee to investi
gate the causes of the resignation of State
Treasurer J. R. Stowers and learn the
names of the persons who, if any, were
guilty of misusing the state’s funds. If
this committee gets to work some inter
esting developments might be expected.

SAMIONESIAVDRS
FLOYO DISPENSARY
WRITES A SCORCHING LETTER TO
THE ROME TIMES, GIVING HIS
VIEWS ON THE ISSUE.
ROME. Ga„ Jan. 25.—Rev. Sam Jones
in a letter to the Times, published yes
terday, says in part:
“With all my hatred for whiskey, if I
was a citizen of Floyd. I would light for
the dispensary. work for it, suf
fer for it. vote for it. When you
break up that old barroom, whiskey
soaked political ring in Floyd county, you
have done a deed that will bless your
county for years.
“If I wanted to tell a whopping lie I
would say right out in meeting that I
knew something good about them. It
has been unoer the old barroom rule long
enough and the good people ought to de
sire a change.
“I choose the dispensary for Floyd as
deliberately and hohestly as I would
choose measles in preference to smallpox.
I would rather have neither, but between
the two give me measles every pop. I
am in favor of anything rather than sa
loons.
“So don't listen to the gang quoting me.
I had rather a buzzard would spit on me
than that gang refer to me as their friend
or advocate.”
Mr. Jones has been quoted by saloon
men as against the dispensary and his let
ter is refutation of. their claims. The
Tribune says this morning that R. A.
Denny. H. P. Meikleham and Major
Fouche will make speeches over the coun
ty against the dispensary.
MANUFACTURERS’ FAI fT
WILL BE EXTENSIVE
Interest in the exhibit ofStlanta made
goods has grown rapidly and the display
promises to reach very large proportions.
It was at first thought the exhibit could
be gotten into a building of ordinary size,
but it appears now that one of the larg
est buildings in the city will be required
to hold it.
If some of the manufacturers are ac
corded all of the space they want it is
doubtful whether one building will hold
the exhibit.
An interesting feature will be an ex
hibit of machine tools and other articles
made by students of the Georgia Institute
of Technology. Captain Lyman Hall, the
president of that institute, says it has a
case of fine tools made by boys which
can be placed on exhibition. Those who
have seen it say the display will surprise
the public. .Among other things which
may be exhibited by the Technological
school is a razor made by on? of the stu
dents, Mr. Klein. It is said to be an ex
cellent razor, having been tested by actual
use.
IN TROUBLE FORSELLING
CIGARETTES TO MINORS
GREENSBORO. N. C., Jan. 25.-There
is a law in North Carolina prohibiting,
undef the penalty of a heavy fine, the
sale of cigarettes to minors, but in the
town of High Point, fifteen miles west
of here, it appears to Jiave been regarded
as a dead letter for some time. Con
sternation was created among the mer
chants who handle such goods a few days
ago when a deputy sheriff went through
the town and arrested several business
men who were charged with selling cig
arettes to boys under twenty-one years
old. Now the law is being obeyed
strictly.

W. E. Small & Co.'z Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-“• There was some heavy
buying in cotton again this morning and the
price advanced higher than yesterday. But the
Houston receipts for Monday were larger than
had been expected and this broke prices later
in the morning. May sold from 8.18 back to
8.15 with early buyers selling. The tone of the
market seemed flrm owing to a predicted fall
ing off in the movement and port receipts to
day less than last year for the first time In
seme weeks. A block of several thousand bales
of cotton was bought during the morning. All
this had a good influefice on .sentiment and
buyers wete more in evidence than sellers.
There was no disposition to shoit cotton. In
ease receipts fall oft an advance is looked for.

It must be remembered that the weekly,
monthly and season’s comparisons in Secretary

against 146 days this year.

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—Despite a sharp' upturn
at Liverpool, light domestic receipts and gen
erally favorable weather conditions the tone
of the wheat market was weak today. May
opened 8s higher at 798i®%c on srtittcied buy
ing. but the demand was soon withdrawn and
the price began to sag, May selling as low as
7984 c.
Chicago receipts, 30 cars, two of which
graded contract.
Receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth were 411
cars, compared with 245 for the corresponding
day last year. Liverpool closed *•* to %c higher.
An unexpected advance at Liverpool and small
receipts strengthened corn. May opened 84 to
84c higher at 6385©84c, touched 6384 c. At that
point, however, considerable selling developed
owing to the decline in wheat and May de
clined to 62%®%. Receipts were only 94 cars.
There was little doing in oats and after a
rather steady oixsnlng the market declined in
sympathy with the other grains. May opened
8»c higher, at 458441840 and declined to 44%c.
The market ruled dull until near the end of
the session, when a slump in the price of
corn brought out a large number of selling
orders under which May sold off to 78<§'7884c.
At the bottom a good demand developed, but
not enough to offset the selling movement and
the market closed weak l*4®l%c lower for
May. at 7884 c. • ~
An avalanche of selling orders caused the
downfall of corn during the latter part of
the session. The execution of stop-loss orders
accelerated the decline and May closed l%c
lower for the day, at 6184®61%c.
Provisions ruled steady. Buying by packers
and light hog receipts were the strengthening
Influences. May pork opened 78»c higher at
$16.50, declined to $16.45 and nose again to
$16.5284- May lard opened 283 to 5c higher at
$9.55 and advanced to 59.6 Q. May ribs ruled
unchanged at 8.57%, $8.6'1.

McCullough Bros. - Fruit and Product
Letter.
ATLANTA, Ga . Jan. 25.—Trade has been
very sluggish, with few exceptions, during the
last seven days This, however, usually oc
curs at this season of the year. Conditions
will, undoubtedly, be very much improved after
the first of the month, and Indications -war
rant the statement that the spring trade will
be the heaviest in the history of the market.
But few decent apples are now here, and
good results can be obtained for good stock
and good varieties from now on.
Florida oranges continue scarcer and prices
will advance as the season progresses until the
remainder of the crop has been marketed.
85 per cent of which has already been dis
posed of. „ ,
Mexican and California oranges prevail in
abundance with price* weak and a tendency
for a further decline.
Lemons are also off In price at all points
of importation, but as yet has not materially
affected the local market conditions.
Banana receipts are sufflcient to meet all
trade requirements, with such prices as au
thorize a general coonsumption.
The market is almost bare on cranberries.
Fancy celery and nearly all varieties of
Florida vegetables are meeting ready sales in
limited quantities at fancy prices.
Tlie trade on seed Irish potatoes and onion
sets will be heavy during the next fifteen
days, with the stock that has arrived thus
tar of unusually fine quality and giving en
tire satisfaction. Eating Irish potatoes are
scarce with the market strong, and indications
of higher prices.
Cabbage is in light supply with the market
continually advancing.
The market on sweet potatoes Is better, the
glut that has existed flor more than two weeks
being well cleaned up.
Both white and colored peas are off in prices,
with the market well stocked, and indications
of heavier receipts.
Dressed poultry has been dull throughout the
week, especially turkeys, while a good demand
exists for spring broilers and fries.
All receipts of live stock are being readily
taken at satisfactory prices to the shipper.
Fresh eggs are more plentiful with prices
weaker, which has necessarily effected the
market, and prices on cold storage stock very
greatly.
Tennessee smoked meats are going well at
fancy prices; also game of every description.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s Review.
•R. G. Dun & Co’s Review says:
"Conditions of the preceding week were ac
cenuated as a rale, active manufacturing
plants becoming still more busily engaged,
while the downward tendency of prices was
not chocked. Retail trade is of immense vol
ume, and jobbers have immense spring orders
to All. Western cities send the most satisfac
tory returns, but nearly all sections are en
joying wholesome activity. even the south
showing evidence of improvement.
•'Conditions in the iron and steel industry
are shown by record breaking production at
many plants and rapid increase of facilities
at others. When orders for rails cannot be
taken because delivery is desired before the
last quarter of the year, it would seem that
new figures of output were assured for 1902.
Structural mills are equally well occupied.
Plates and sheets are available more promptly
owing to enlarged capacity of mills. Despite
the pressure for nearly all steel products and
pig iron, there is no tendency rt> force quota
tions, but rather a stubborn resistance to ev
ery upward movement. This feature of the
market is watched most intently, as the ab
normal activity would lose its chief value as
an indication of prosperity if business were
stimulated by excessive prices. Incidentally,
foreign competition would also be invited and
mills abroad are in position to take full ad
vantage of any such opportunity.
Textile markets are quiet, although reports
of the Jobbing trade are most favorable, except
at some southern points. Cotton mills are busy
as a rule, but uncertainty as to the future
of the raw material tends to unsettle prices.
Specialties have been put on the market with
a fair degree of success. Heavy goods for
China are in better inquiry. although the
views of sellers are still above prices offered
Home buying of fine yarn goods increase*.
Print cloths are nominally 3 cents, and scarce
for near delivery. ■
Woolen mill* are working over time, and
have much business in sight. More linens
opened at slightly lower figure* than a year
ago. which was natural in view of the dif
ference in the cost of Raw
wool is strengthened by the higher prices se
cured at the lx>ndon sale.
Footwear holds firmly to the advance re
ported last week with only a moderate vol
ume of business. Sole leather is flrai with
stocks low, but some other varieties are
slightly easier. Belting butt* and harness
have declined fully a cent. Upper leather is
fairly steady. concessions being chiefly to
move large lot*. ExporU wiles of hemiock
to England are liberal. Hide* are *tlll de
clining. especially for Imported good*.
Hesitation is general in the market* for
staple products. There is no longer the reck
less buoyancy conspicuous a short time ago.
Disaster to one prominent operator had a
calming influence, and in the case of corn the
insignificant exports cannot well be entirely ig
nored. From Atlantic port* for the week the
movement was but 352,450 bushels, against
3,472.614 a year ago. Foreign buying of wheat,
flour included. 1* much more liberal, all ports
of the United States sending out 4,320,005 bush
els during the past week, compared with 4,-
038,381 bushels a year ago.
Meats have weakened, especially lard, and
dairy product* are also less inflated.
Raw sugar stiffened owing to restricted ar
rivals. which are natural since Cuban holders
await favorable tariff arrangements, and
bounty discussion affects conditions in Eu
r<Cotton is not receiving the support antici
pated. reports of exhausted stocks on planta
tions being refuted by undiminished receipt*.
Failures for the -week numbered 301 in the
United States, against 306 last year, and in Can
ada 23, against 46 last week.

Capt. Hobson: I see from the Knoxville
papers that you are going to run for con
gressman down in good, old Alabama. If
I wus you I would not do that. It is al-,
ways best to stand by the flag, and as
you’ve stood by the flag and made a good
name. I would keep it up-. I often see men.
who are my friends and who have been
big fellers once get awful common after
they got out of office. ’ I would hate to
see you beat for office and would rather
see you by the flag and a big man in th®
navy than worrying about offices for your
self and other people. This leaves mother
well and she says give Missus Salite, your
mother, her love, when you go back to
the old home. Respectfully,
“CHAS. PEARSON.

JUDGE W?T. NEWMAN MAKES
-DECISION IN HOGUE CASE
An Important decision was handed down
yesterday by .udge William T. New
man in the United States court in the case
of Mrs. Martha S. Hogue against the 1
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company, in which he finds for the plain
tiff.
Mrs. Hogue sued the company on a pol
icy of SIO,OOO which was issued on the lit®
of her husband, David Scott Hogue, on
January 15, 1867. The contract stipulated
that the insured should pay ten annual
premiums only, when the insurance should
be paid up for life. These premiums were,
by the terms of the policy, to be paid part- ,
ly in cash and partly in notes, the notes,’
however, to be collectable only out of the
proceeds of the policy when It became
payable or if sooner paid by the applica
tion of dividends thereon. The notes wer® t
to draw interest from their date at 7 per
cent per annum. It was further provided
that should the insured fail to pay any
annual premiums in accordance with th®
terms of the agreement the policy would
not thereby become void, but the insured
should be entitled to receive at his death
as many tenth parts of the amount named
in the policy, to-wit, SIO,OOO, as he had paid
complete annual payments. The policy, it
is stated, said nothing about dividends,
but the notes provided dividends should
be applied to the payment and the charter
of the company provided all policyholder® •
were entitled to share in the dividends. *
Mr. Hogue, it appears, paid eight an
nual payments and then failed to pay any
more, the last payment being made on
January 15, 1874. He died June 22, 1899.
The company claimed that having failed
to pay all ten of the payments provided r
in the policy the policy in a sense lapsed ,
and the company was only liable to pay,
eight-tenths, to-wlt. SB,OOO, without any
dividends at all after 1874, claiming that ■
this default deprived him of the right to i
share in the dividends, but they claimed
the right to set off against the SB,OOO the ;
full amount of the premium notes, with .
interest for about 30 years, which, if al
lowed, would nearly have consumed th%
38 000. Mrs. Hogue claimed her husband
was entitled* to share in the dividends ■
during the whole time up to his death and
such dividends were subject to cancel the
notes. Under the findings of the cqurt
she will receive SB,OOO.
