VOL. IV.
IT IS GOV. JERRELL
BY MAJORITY OF 22
Joseph M. Terrell 80 Counties 198 Votes
John H. Estill 35 Counties.. 86 Votes
Dupont Guerry 22 Counties 66 Votes
Total of votes in convention 350. Necessary to
elect 176.
From the most reliable sources and from official returns received by The
Journal from the various counties to date, the nomination of Hon. J. M. Ter
rell for governor is a certainty. He is absolutely certain of at least 198 votes in
th* convention. ' . .
The race was a remarkable one in every respect and many were the surprises
Hundreds of people were of the opinion that Guerry would double the Estill
vote whereas Estill has beaten Guerry. the Macon man running third in the race.
Guerry carried Bibb county by several hundred majority, after a count lasting
from • o'clock at night until noon next day. It looked for a time as if the Macon
man would lose out In his home county.- ...
Col. EsttH polled a tremendous scattering vote throughout the state, as did
Guerry. but neither of the two men got enough votes to carry the necessary
number of counties. _ . _
In many counties the result was exceedingly close. In Thomas county Guer
ry won out by a majority of two votes while in several counties Estill won
by nine votes and Terrell did the same thing. Hundreds of people were sur
prised at the close vote In many of the counties.
Several of the counties have not yet made official returns, but private tele
grams to the various headquarters give their vote. The Guerry and Estill men
are claiming a deadlock and say that Terrell cannot be nominated.
Thoma* Eason won In the race by a big majority. All the votes are not in
as yet on this race and as a result his exact majority cannot be determined. It
is the general view, however, that he has secured 188 votes so far against the
gg williams. Eason never doubted his election and was confident throughout
,h *G *R was defeated for state school commissioner by W. B. Merritt.
All the returns received by The Journal indicate the election of Merritt, though
Johnston and Glenn are claiming a dead lock. From the looks of things, now,
however, it looks like Merritt will be nominated on the first ballot /
O. B. Stevens, commissioner of agriculture, defeated JI. T. Nisbet badly. Ste
vens carried 134 counties of the 137. . .
Byron Bower, Jr„ was defeated by John D. Harrell for in Decatur
eOU ߻land Kilis was defeated for the house in Bibb, and therefore will not figure
in the race for speaker ot the house.
Asmon Murphey, a well known pho hibitionlst was beaten In Pike county for
the legislature by E. M. Owen.
The congressional race in the Tenth district has resulted in the election of
Hon T W. Hardwick over Congressman Fleming.
Charles L Branan was badly defeated in the Fifth district by Congressman
Wright. Secretary of State Cook. State Treasurer Park.
A wools »e« Justice Lumpkm and Cobb of the supreme court were re-elected with
out opposition. Congressmen Lester. Howard, Adamson; Griggs. Brantley. Mad
dox. Bartlett were also re-elected without opposition, as was benator A. 8. Clay.
Results of the primary on Thursday are
pracUcaWy unchanged today. There will
be no deadlock* in the convention. a« all
the winning candidate* will have enough
votes to elect them on the first ballot.
Merritt s majority is even larger today
than it was thought yesterday, while the
Terrell rote is cut down two. O. B. Ste
vens carried every county in the state,
with the exception of Bibb. Early and
Chattahoochee.
The result «f the primary, showing the
■*, number of votes for<each candidate, now
stands as follows:
For Governor—
Joseph M. Terrell 1*
J. H. Estill 8S
Dupont Guerry **
For School Commissioner—
Merritt ... • 214
■ Glonn-... .... .... .... .... •••• •• **
Johnston M
For CgaMßissloner of Agriculture-
—J
Nesbitt »
For Prison Commissioner—
Eason .' SO
WHI lams 4-. «
The state convention will meet here in
July for the purpose of making the for
mal nominations. Owing to the large ma
jorities which the winning candidates
have, the nominations will no doubt be
made unanimous in every particular.
The general election will occur on the
fl rat Wednesday tn October, at which time
the nominees will be voted for.
Congressman Fleming, of the tenth dis
trict. has conceded that T. William Hard
wick. of Washington, defeated him for
congress. The election of Hardwi’k was
a big surprise to the people of Georgia,
as for a while things looked decidedly blue
for him .
go far there have been no charges of
fraud at any of the election places in the
counties, though the Augusta Herald says
that money was freely scattered in Au
gust*.

DIVIO B. HILL
IS BMHDED
1 TRAITOR
THE NEW YORK LIBERAL DEMO
CRATS SEND HOT SHOT AF
TER DAVID B. HILL AND HIS
RECORD.
NEW YORK. June 7.—A state conven
tion of the Liberal Democratic party
which endorses the Chicago and Kansas
City platforms was held here today to
nominate a state ticket. The nominations
will secure place on the official ballot by
petition, as the party had no ticket in
the field at the last election. Rev. Dr.
Llvinston, of Gouverneur, N. Y.. men
tioned the name <of the late John P. Alt
geld in his prayer, and the name was ap
plauded. The permanent chairman, Judge
Samuel Seabury, said the Republican par
ty had been the chief actor In encourag
ing monopply and that the Democratic
party should be the chief factor in pro
viding a remedy.
Jay W. Forrest, of Albany, devoted
much of his speech to David B. Hill.
Among other things he said:
"It is time for real Democrats to raise
their voices when we can read In all the
newspapers from one end of the state to
the other that the reorganisation.of the
Democratic forces In the state has been
placed in the hands of men who in 1896
had not a word to sav for the greatest
banner bearer the Democratic party has
had for forty years. Democracy never
needed reorganisation until David B. Hill
came Into It.”
The platform re-affirms the Kansas
City platform and condemns David B.
Hill as a traitor.
Edgar L. Ryder, a Westchester county
attorney, was nominated for governor.
That the convention’ was anti-H!.l and
pro-Bryan could not be mistaken, fer the
walls of the assembly room were deco
rated with the pictures of Bryan, kdth in
scriptions as follows:
“I am a Democrat, Is not so good as
actual battling for Democratic principles.”
Another placard bore the words:
“Down with Hill.”
The convention consisted of members
of the old populist party in the state,
Chicago Democrats and Bryan men. A
platform declaring for the 1898 principles’
direct nomination by voters and the’gov
ernment ownership of transportation com
panies was adopted.
Delegates delare their party has repre
sentatives In every, district in this state
as well as Ip other states. The following
ticket was placed in nomination:
Governor—Edgar L. Ryder, Ossining.
Lieutenant Governor—J. 8. Corbin.
Secretary of State—J. B. Howarth,
Buffalo.
Comptroller—D. M. S. Flero. Glens Falls.
Treasurer—D. D. Easley, Mount Vernon.
Attorney BpeHwey, 'nVUHtTfr —

reported, covering various points. Com
mandant Fouche brought into Cradock,
Cape Colony his commando, consisting of

111.
Commandant Conroy's men, on hearing
that peace had been concluded threw
their hats in the air, cheered for King
Edward and sang "God Save the King.”
These incidents! dissipate the fear ex
pressed that the Cape Colony commandoes
would refuse to accede to the peace
terms. ,
General Christian Dewet Is personally
superintending the surrender df the Boers
in the Vredefort, Orange River colony dis
trict.
General Schalk-Burger, former acting
president of the Transvaal, who is the
guest of the governor of Natal, Col. Sir
Henry Edward McCallum, at Pietrema
rftzburg. in an address to the burghers in
the concentration camp, asked them to
make the best of the situation and to
forget and forgive the past. He pointed
out the hopelessness of continuing the
struggle; urged the Boers to accept and
act In accordance with the terms of sur
render which he intended to uphold, and
desired them to work for the good of*
South Africa.

IT IS BELIEVEp THAT RECIP

P-
Copyright 1902 by N. Y. Herald.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June T. —It is be
lieved that Cuban reciprocity will event
ually win although the outlook la not very
encouraging Just at thia stage.
The Republican Relators who have the
matter in charge seurned to be convinced
that they wHI be finely able to command
enough votes to carry out the program of
passing a bill providing for a 20 per cent
reduction, to be in effect for five years, and
they expect to secure ithe necessary Repub
lican votes. The sajpe confidence Is ex
pressed by the leader* In the House.
The assertion Is mqjde by the beet sugar
men that no measuse for the relief of
Cuba can pass the swnate without the as
sistance of the Demodrats.They are stand
ing out for the rebatfr proposition.
In many quarters ft Is believed that the
beet sugar men are rwtkfng and have made .
greater claims than tney can substantiate.
They have Senator Pxlchard.of North Car
olina on their list, Mit he declares he Is
with the administration. It Is said that
there are others on' the beet sugar list
who are with the administration.
The beet sugar men assert that 15 Re
publicans will stand together against recl-
I*ocity, but the Republican senatorial cau
cus, which will be held before the bill is
reported, Is qplte certain to have a har
monising effect and to weaken materially
the beet sugar defection
When all Is said add done no Immediate
settlement Is in sight! The administration
is earnest In its efferts to give relief to
Cuba and it believes that better results In
harmonizing matters tan be attained if it
moves slowly. On th| other hand the beet
sugar men are marang and have made
They have Senator Prichard of North Car
olina on their list, but he declares he Is
ever, that the administration will event

111 LION'S DEN
BATTLE IS
FOUGHT
THREE TRAINERS ARE HORRI
BLY MUTILATED BY INFURI
ATED BEASTS IN CAPTIVITY
AT CLEVELAND SATURDAY.
CLEVELAND, June 7.—Three trainers
attached animal show had a thrilling
experience here today with their savage
pets, and as a result one man, the Hon
trainer, Joseph McPhee, is fatally injured
with great holes in his abdomen by the
teeth of a Hon.
The others irijured are Herman Wedder,
whose right leg was badly crushed by a
bear, and Mme. Morelli, whose side was
lacerated by a leopard.
The animals had traveled from this city
and were surly and ugly. Wedder enter
ed the cage of a big bear which received
him with a swipe of his Immense paw,
knocking him to the floor with her paw
and pouncing upon him, fastened the
teeth into his right leg, tearing off so
large a chunk as to make necessary, sur
geons say, amptita’tlon of the injured limb.
A leopard leaped upon Mme. Morelli's
shoulder and lacerated her right arm se
verely. Mme. Morelli was lying on the
floor when the attendants came to her
assistance and with pikes drove the ani
mal off.
The Hon tamer, McPhee, was watching
the transfer of the Hons from the car to
their cage and because they refused to
move promptly, he entered the cage. He
had hardly entered before a great beast
leaped upon him, pinioning him to the
floqr. The Hon placed his great paws upon
the fallen man's breast and tore his right
leg In a fearful manner, the tendons be
ing pulled from the bone.
The efforts of the attendants to drive
the Hon off with pikes had no ‘effect and
seemed only to infuriate him the more,
for he quickly pushed bls big Jaws and
sharp teeth Into McPhee's abdomen, and
when he released his hold the trainer’s
abdomen was torn so greatly that his en
trals were in sight. The Hon was Anally
driven off and McPhee removed from the
cage.

LIPTON WILL MAKE
ANOTHER TRY FOR CUP
LONDON, June 6—The Exchange Tele
graph Co. yesterday gave out a yachting
announcement previously made by the As
sociated Press, which says that Sir Thom
as Lipton, the Irish sportsman, has defi
nitely decided to challenge for the Ameri
ca’s cub In 1903, with a yacht built by the
celebrated ship building firm of Denny.
It has long been thought that Sir Thom
as would challenge again, but he has not
made an authoritative statement to this
effect, but those close to him are positive
that the Irish yachtsman will never cease
until he has returned to England the cup
which the America won from the English
fleet off Covres, just fifty years ago last
August.

JUDGE MADDOX SAYS
ANARCHISM MUST DIE
WASHINGTON. June 6.—Representative
Maddox, of Georgia. Thursday spoke
against the feature of the anti-anarchy
bill which is under discussion in the house
of representatives. He said he wanted a
bill to protect the president, but did not
think foreign ambassadors should be pro
tected by special legislation as proposed in
the bill. The main part of his argument
was a plea for legislation for the suppres
sion of anarchists before they had a
chance to kill the president.
Everybody who taught disloyalty to the
nation, he declared, should be run out of
the country as well as those who were
opposed to law and order. He will vote
for the bill if it is amended in these par
ticulars. He expressed the sentiments of
the Georgia delegation in his speech.

ENGLAND GIVES
KITCHENER 50,000 LBS.
LONDON, June 6.—ln accordance with
King Edward’s message to the house of
commons Wednesday, government lead
er (Mr. A. J. Balfour), in the house yes
terday asked for a vote of £50,000 to
Lord Kitchener. As a remarkable coin
cidence, parliament June 0, three years
ago, voted its thanks and £30,000 to the
same general for his services in Egypt.
Mr. Balfour, In supporting the motion,
referred to Lord Kitchener’s rapid pro
motion! He said it had been given to few
public servants to compass so much work
for their country In so short a time as.
Lord Kitchener, who besides being com
mander in chief in South Africa, was
commander in chief reslgnate of India.
,He found the army in South Africa in a
state es disorganisation or dislocation con
sequent on the ill-success which attended
the British arms at the early state of the
campaign and he executed his duty with
admirable energy and skill. But It was
not until Lord Roberts left that the claims
of Lord Kitchener to the gratitude of his
countrymen reached their present magni
tude. Lord Kltcrtener had to meet with
unique difficulties. He had erected no
fewer than 4.000 miles of blockhouses, and
In the conduct of the campaign had shown
the fertile range of his resources, bound
less courage,' energy and resolution and
to these qualities Great Britain owed the
termination of the war. Few English gen
erals had contended with greater difficul
ties and few had emerged from them In
a more triumphant and brilliant way.
Mr. Balfour, concluded with formally
moving the vote of £50,000.
The liberal leader. Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, who seconded the motion,
paid a warm tribute to Lord Kitchener,
as a soldier and statesman.
John Dillon, Irish Nationalist, said he
and his friends absolutely objected to the
vote because they were opposed to the
policy of war in South Africa and conduct
of the campaign.
William Redmond, Irish 1 Natonatist,
caused a scene of greht disorder by re
marking that Lord Kitchener would go
down in history as a general who had
“made war on women and children.”
This remark called forth loud cries of
“withdraw" and appeals to the chair to
call Mr. Redmond to order. The chairman
said the expression used was not disor
derly but a majority of the house re
fused to listen any further to Mr. Red
mond and Interrupted him with all kinds
of shouts.
The closure was then moved and adopt
ed by JT3 to 138 votes and the grant of
50,000 to Lord Kitchener was carried by
38u to 44 votes.

Depew Urges Congress to
Purchase Two Million
Acres of Forest
Land in South
WASHINGTON, June 7.—At the conclu
sion of routine business In the senate to
day Mr. Depew, of New York, addressed
the senate in advocacy of the bill appro
priating $10,000,000 for the purchase of two
million acres of land for a national forest
preserve in Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabuma aqd
Tennessee.
It is estimated by the committee repre
senting the measure that it may fairly be
urged that the establishment of this for
est preserve in the region of the southern
Appalachian mountains is a matter of
great national Importance and that a pe
culiar condition existing In this region,
the establishment of this reserve need
not necessarily be accepted for the estab
lishment of similar reserves elsewhere in
the east.
Mr. pepew said the project was favored
by President Roosevelt and by the secre
tary’ of agriculture and federal action was
justified by public necessity. He said the
most favorable results might have exist
ed from the establishment of the preserve.
He said that within ten years the great
hardwood forests In the proposed preserve
would be destroyed entirely. Such a re
sult would be disastrous to the states af
fected, and to the entire country.
At the conclusion of Mr. Depew’s re
marks, Mr. Hale said that the senate could
not fall to be impressed by the great im
portance of the subject. He had not been
aware of the extent of the land to be pur
chased. and thought that some action
ought to be taken upon the matter at this
session.
London Dock Charges.
The senate then begun the consideration
of the measure comonly known as the
London dock charges bill. Mr. Nelson, of
Minnesota, in support of the bill, said
charges made at the London docks against
American flour, principally, were a dis
crimination against the United States. In
response to an inquiry from Mr. McCum
ber as to what guaranty the shippers of
this country would have In the event of
the limitation of the London dock charges
that the Atlantic freight rates would be
increased, Mr. Nelson replied that there
was no guaranty and could be none. The
shippers would have to take their chances
on that. The steamship trust, organised
by J. Pierpont Morgan, he said, might
raise the freight charges. That was not
to be prevented by the pending bill.
“God deliver us from trusts,” declared
Mr. Nelson. "That is a matter which we
will have to take care of later on.”
