I>ec. 11.—Nineteen •“insurgent " republican congressmen met tonight tn the room of Representative Hubbard oz lox?, in the house oflice budding end for three hours discussed wajs and means of forwarding the tight eegun at tl.a extra session against the bouse rules. It is surmised that other topics besides this were debated, but after the meeting broke up. the partici pants refused to admit that any other proposition than the one to amend the “Cannon rules” were considered. Representative Hayes, of California, acted as chairman of the meeting and Representative Neim»n. of V\ isconsin. was secretary. The net result of the meeting was the appointment of two committees of five members each. One committee was to map out a plan of action regarding further procedure and presumably to sound out the Democratic minority on a joint program, and the Other was to take care of the subject of publicity. LAWYER - DESERTS COOK: THINKS HEJS ABROAD NEW* YORK. Dec. 10;—Although he will not confirm or deny it. Henry W. Wack. Dr. Cook's pei sonal counsel, has severed relations with his client. This occurred on November 30. when Mr. Wack wrote the explorer he must find another law yer. “I haven't the remotest idea," says Mr. Wack, "where Dr. Cook is keeping him self. or why he persists in seclusion when bls presence is vital to his own interests and his friends. Personally, I incline to the belief he is abroad. •"One thing, however, is certain—there f* agreement for the first time among those who have always believed that Dr. Cook discovered the north pole, those who have never believed and those who have waited to be informed on disinterested authority Partisans and skeptics alike now concede certain cardinal facts which admit of no argument, namely: Dr. Cook has oent his records to the University of Copenhagen for the inspection of a com mission Two men. -» broker, who aays he acted as go-between, and one a skilled navigator, have sworn that they supplied the doctor with a complete set of fabricated observations, covering his trtp northward -step by step to the pole, tn agreement with his narrative as uni versally published. The sworn statements carry within themselves their own proof or disproof. x "That is to say. if the papers now in the hands of the University of Copenhagen contain any considerable portion of the boreal obersvations which Capt. August Loose says he worked out 'by the reverse route.' no further north than the Grama tan inn in Bronxville. New York, the de duction is that Dr. Cook felt no confi dence tn the adequacy of his own proofs. “IL on the contrary, the Copenhagen /records shbw that Dr. Cook made no evi dent use of the calculations Captain Loose says he supplied, it would be fair to as sume that he accepted them only as checks on his own data. The inquiry will then revert to its first status: “Are the original observations of .Dr. Cook suffi cient?’ Asked flatly If he had or had not withdrawn from Dr. Cook’s affairs, Mr. Wack said: •This is not the time for an announce ment. It might be thought I had deserted Dr Cook in bls need. He may be deli rious in a sanitarium or <rn the ocean un able to defend himself.” THE TEXAS WONDER Cures all Kidney.

TORJH ICMI Bluefields Alarmed by Realiza tion of Affairs-Rebel Lead er Hoodwinked. BLUEFIELDS. Nicaragua, Dec. 11-This city, the headquarters of the provisional government, has been thrown into alarm by a sudden realization of the strength of the government army against which Gen eral Estrada, the leader of the insur gents, had been supposed to be making irresistible headway. Estrada apparent ly has been hoodwinked by Zelaya, and no one would be surprised if the latter's troops should appear in the city at any hour. Estrada is hoping for timely aid from the United States. A staff correspondent of the Associat ed Press. who recently arrived here, has canvassed the situation and finds it less hopeful for the insurgents than had been believed. General Estrada is great ly disturbed, and has appealed to Unit ed! States Consul Moffatt for marines from the cruiser Des Moines to protect Americans. It is known, however, that what he really wishes is intervention by the United States to save the insurgent cause. ZELAYA STOLE MARCH. While General Vasques, at the head of a handful of loyal troops, was parleying with Estrada's envoys before Rama, it is said the main army of Zelaya waj marching on Blueflelds. A disquieting report comes from Grey town. which is said to contain a govern ment forte sufficient to rout the besieg ing troops under General Chamorro whenever the word is given. It is possible that the provisionals are unduly alarmed, just as they appear to have been overconfident; but the situa tion is set forth as it is viewed from the insurgent standpoint. It turns out that the conference, which was sought by General Vasquez, of the government troops near Rama, and which the insurgents had interpreted as a sign of yielding on the part of Zelaya’s troops, was a blind intended to secure a delay of the expected battle until the loyal army had obtained a decided ad vantage of position. It is also learned that while Zelaya had kept a scattered force before Rama, his real army of 3,000 men was hurrying by forced marches toward Bluefields.' The report that a descent upon the city from Rama was possible only by river is now known to be untrue. SAID ALL WAS CALM. General Estrada endeavored to cover his alarm by informing the correspondents at the front that all was tranquil, with the prospect that General Vasquez and Major Eva would surrender. Ten minutes after he had talked with the reporters, the in surgent leader had his chief diplomatic aide, Adolfe Diaz, on the telephone and was telling him what he believed to be the true situation. To his aide General Estrada declared that the Americans should send more ma rines ashore, as Vasquez had apparently outfianked him. Estrada also expressed the opinion that a request should be made of the United States government for pro tection to the ISO Americans in Bluefields. Diaz rushed to United States Consul Moffatt, with the new intelligence and the consul assured him that Commander Shipley's marines from the United States cruiser Des Moines, with their six rapid fire guns, would be able to control the situation here in the event that the loyal army should suddenly surprise the city. It was recalled today that Major Eva. one of the government envoys at yester day's conference, was the man who sur veyed. the telegraph line across the coun try. and that none knows better the hid den places through the forests, swamps and hills. The American officials here have been assured that the marines from the Des Moines are sufficient to cope with any situation, even with the 3.000 well-armed government soldiers, but the provisionals, who are unfamiliar with military disci pline, wish more American marines here. Apparently General Estrada has reach ed a stage where he feels that the situa tion is critical unless ,lie Americans are prepared to assume active and supreme control. At present, Commander Shipley awaits further orders from Admiral Kim ball. An idea of the enemy stacking forti fied Rama baa been abandoned. The truce, which covered the conference of the government envoy* and which was said to have been arranged to further conceal the march of Zelaya’s men through the hills toward Bluefields, is at an end. At the conference Zelaya’s representatives used every pretext to delay coming to the point, and when the conference finally came to an end it was with a demand that the insurgents in the vicinity of Rama surrender. Further evidence of the alarm of th* insurgents is shown in connection with movements of the Bluefields Steamship company’* steamer Di Giorgio. This com pany, whicli derived a big revenue through a concession from President Ze laya, has always been believed to be in sympathy with the source of the com pany’s revenue. The company’s boats are in the practice of ascendijig the river from Rluefields to Rama to load with fruit. However, on Monday, General Es trada, fearing a plot through which the government troops, who were believed to have made a detour to Rama, would make a pretended seizure of the vessel, ordered the up-river trip abandoned. He rushed 300 troops toward Rama and Thursday, convinced that these could con trol the situation, gave permission for the steamer to proceed to Rama. The same night information was received that a large force of the government troops was stationed between Rama and Blue fields. General Estrada at once ordered the steamer to stop at Cama. Estrada feared that if the trip was continued, the steamer would be seized between Cama and Rama by the enemy . ZELAYA’S MEN IN TRIM. Another cause for alarm among the in surgent* is a report brought by the crui ser Des Moines that Zelaya’s men at I Grey town are far from being In the des perate condition which has been reported here. They are said to number over 3.000 well-fed and well-paid soldiers and are opposed only by General Chamorra, with 400 insurgents. The excellent condition of the army in Greytown is said to be the main reason why it does not leave its quarters and attack Chamorra. The soldiers are not enthusiastic over Zelaya and his cause and prefer being fed to fighting. THE ATLANTA SEML WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 14. 1905 FOR BATHTUB MURDER MISS WARDLAW IS HELD Evidence Submitted in Pre liminary Trial Warranted Holding for Grand Jury. | NEW YORK. Dec. 11.—Emotionless and i rtlcent as ever. Miss Virginia Wardlaw, ; aunt of Mrs. Ocey W. M. Snead, victim of ■ the East Orange bath tub tragedy, was I sent back to jail today after a hearing | in the recorder's court in East Orange, I to await the action of the grand jury on 1 the charge that ahe had murdered her j niece. I Recorder Nott held Miss Wardlaw for trial after witnesses had testified that Ocey Snead’s dead body had lain from 18 hours to three or four days in the bar ren East Orange house, where Miss Wardlaw was her companion before the authorities were notified of her death, and a handwriting expert had sworn that a different pen from that which wrote the suicide note of Ocey Snead had been used to write the signature to the pathet ic little document. Otherwise the hear ing in the singular case was productive of little positive testimony that bore upon the manner of the death of the young southern woman, or would tend to fix re sponsibility for it. Miss Wardlaw, heavily veiled. sat in court beside her counsel. Franklin W. Fort, a son of Governor Fort, of New Jersey. She seemed to resent the scru tiny of the crowd which packed the court room and shielded her face at times with a newspaper, although her features were undistingulshable through the thick veil. An Investigation showed that the death had been unreported at least 24 hours.and search of the house indicated that Miss Wardlaw. its only other occupant, han inhabited it during the time her niece lay dead in the bath room. Life insurance policies aggregating $30,000 on Ocey Snead's 4, life and all drawn in favor of Virginia Wardlaw. lay jumbled in a mass of old newspapers. Miss Wardlaw told the police she had come to East Orange for her niece'-* health, but the house was poorly lighted and closely shut in. furnished only with broken chairs and old boxes. The girl's body was pitifully emaciated. Physicians and nurses who had visited the Snead-Wardlaw family in New York I and Brooklyn brought tales of what ap-- i neared to them systematic neglect. ! Fletcher Snead, the husband, also heav ! ily insured, is missing, though it is not thought he is dead. Mrs. Caroline Ward law Martin, Ocey gnead'a mother, is miss ing. and did not appear at her daughter's I funeral. ' ) The family, though in the pinches of • sharp poverty, proved well connected In i the south, and well befriended In the • north. Franklin Fort, Jr., a son of gov ernor of the state, has been retained 'as counsel with ample funds, and the lease is sure to be fought with reaolu Ition. Sneadsa nd Wardlaws Are Natives of Georgia I MACON, Ga.. Dec. 10—The Wardlaw and J Snead families, now so prominently be- I fore the public eye because of the re i cent alleged murder in New York of Mrs. Ocey Wardlaw Martin Snead, are south erners, born and reared in Georgia. Os aristocratic- bir.th, with a long line of illustrious ancestors, they chnfed against the quiet, commonplace life that fell to their lot as the wife and daugh- • ters of a plain Methodist minister. His appointments did not meet the re quirements and aspirations of at least the eldest daughter, Caroline, now Mrs. Mar tin. so at the age of 16 she left the pa rental roof for the home of an uncle in Brooklyn, where she prepared herself to teach in the public schools of that city. . Failing to stand the required examina tion, and determined that she would not return to the hum-drum existence of her home, she sought a place as maid in a wealthy family of Brooklyn. SHE DISAPPEARS. Her refined manners soon disclosed to the family that she was no hrdinary serv ant, and on being approached as to her reason for this disguise, she mysteriously disappeared. Returning to her uncle's home, she con tinued her studies, and finally obtained a teacher’s position in a fashionable school .in New York. Here she spent several ' years, but the slowness with which she accumulated money was a constant irri tation to her restless nature. "For daily cakes, not daily bread, she prayed" was once said of her, and this has been verified in her many plans. i In some way she once obtained an invi- I tation to a large reception given be one of the Vanderbilts. Beautifully gowned she swept through the rooms, her charm of manner and voice attracting attention, until on every hand was heard the ques tion, "Who is she?” Her attractions, however, did not bring to her feet the sons of her hostess, though she later met and married Robert Martin, a man of some prominence in the business world. Mrs. Martin s influence over her family has ever been strange, unaccountable. They bend to her every wish as though they were under some hypnotic Her youngest sister, now married and living in Virginia, was adopted when a mere baby by a wealthy northern family. To this, Mr. and Mrs. Wardlaw gave a reluctant consent, but the stronger will of Mrs. Martin, who knew that money and luxury would follow in the wake of the adoption.- prevailed. Over her sister’s, Mrs. Snead's, sons her influence was also that of a hypnotist. That the insurance on the life of Fletch er, the eldest, should not pass out of the family, she arranged a marriage between him and her daughter Ocey. Two of the Snead brothers met untime ly deaths—one a suicide, and the other burned to death, whether by accident is pot known. Virginia Wardlaw. accused of the mur <l<zr of her niece, has taught in schools in ' Murfreesboro and Nashville, Tenn. I There emanates from her, as from the ; other members of the family, an air of | secrecy, and one Is kept wondering what there is back of it all. Mystery shrouds the family—brilliant, cultured, well-fitted to shine in the most exclusive circles, they have drawn with in themselves, almost apart from the world, until this sad tragedy has awak ened horrors and speculations as to the perpetrator of the crime. MURDEROUS MANIAC SURROUNDED IN WOODS SHREVE. Ohio, Dec. 10.—After spend ing the night at the home of Mrs. Charles Carr,, whom he forced from her home, Oscar E. Boley, the escaped maniac who yesterday killed Sheriff Jacob ’Bell and burned the bloody mattress upon which the sheriff's body lay, then struck out for the country and was traced to a small woods near Big Prairie, where he is sur rounded. Boley is heavily armed, it is said, and the members of the pursuing posse say they will not hesitate to shoot to kill, if necessary. The insane man caused a reign of ter ror in the country near here last night. Farmers barricaded their homes and slept little. Boley ordered Mrs. Qarr to pre pare him a supper. She did, and then was ordered away. Boley went to bed. Mis. Carr notified the officials and a guard was, stationed outside the house. These men Boley eluded. PROVE WHAT SWAMP-ROOT WILL DO FOR YOU.

In its decision, the commission holds: “Former rates have been in effect, sub stantially unchanged for over 20 years, and there was no evidence that they were not compensatory, and neither by compar ison with other rates nor by any facts appearing are the advanced rates shown to be reasonable.” The commission, therefore, holds that the through rates from New Orleans via Mobile and Pensacole to Montgomery. Selma and Prattville, Ala., on certain classes of freight, are unreasonable and excessive and reduces the rates to the sum of the local rates. The decision was made in tlie cases ot the New Orleans board of trade against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company. In the order of the commis sion the defendant railroad company is directed not to charge, during the two years beginning with February 1. 1910, for the transportation of traffic from New O:leans. La., to Mobile, Ala. ARMY CHAFES UNDER ROOSEVELT TESTS WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 —How determ ined army officers are to procure modifi cation's of the Roosevelt physical tesEs was shown today in the annual report of Gen. J. Franklin Bell, chief of staff. "Riding tests and physical training should not be abolished.” says he, "but conditions 'connected therewith can un doubtedly be improved." He announces that modifications of the system "suggested by experience” short ly will be made to the secretary of war. While General Bell does not outline wliai these modifications will be, it is -be fiex.ed. they will provide .that officers serving in the tropics and officers about, to retire on account of age shall be ex cused from taking the tests. No increase in the strength of the army is recommended at this time. General Bell, however, asks for extra pfficers to take the place of the 709 now on detail duty and absent from their commands. A most important subject for the genera! welfare of the country, General Bell says, is the passage of a comprehensive measure for the organization of a volun teer army to be raised only after con gress has made a declaration of war. Potash for Sale to All Farmers who farm on business princi ples and fertilize their soils as a manu facturer puts money into <• plant—for in vestment —have never needed much argu ment to be convinced that "Potash Pays,” as the German Kali Works puts it. The trouble for the farmer has been not only the price, but the difficulty of getting Potash at ary price. The manufacturer: have heretofore absorbed it all. All this has been changed, and thou sands of farmers who rai m for profit rather than for mere wages- and a liv ing, will now be able to buy an the Pot ash Saits they need, in any quantity they want it, of local dealers everywhere And not only this—but they can get it at lower rates than have ever before been charged. This means that farmers can now in vest in plant foods that they- themselves can buy and mix—fertilizers without fill ers and mixing charges into so , much more actual crop-making fertilizer. The great German potash mines are now producing enough potash to enable the Amewican selling agency to guaran tee delivery of all that is required both by fertilizer manufacturers and by local dealers and farmers. Ask your dealer to carry these Invaluable salts In stock. Tell him to write to the German Kalt Works Continental Building. Baltimore, for particulars and prices. And we rec ommend you to write to them also, for their “Farmers Note Bonk" and their valuable literature on fertilizing and cul tivation. Mention what crops you are most interested in. It will pay you to do it. And see your dealer the next time you are in town. AFTER HEROIC BATTLE BOAT REACHES SHORE DETROIT. Dec. 11.—A special to the Free Press from Sandusky. Ohio, says: After a terrific battle with ice. the steamer Huron City arrived at Huron to night bearing the crew of the barge Charles Spademan, of Marine City, which went down In 30 feet of water near South Bars Island, last night. The rescued crew numbered four, one of whom was a woman, Mis* Gertrude Struebling. stewardess, of Marine City. With the Spademan in tow, the Huron City left Huron harbor Friday afternoon. Near Put-in-Bay. lee stove a foot of wa ter in the hold. The Huron City put- about in the storm and dropped lines, up which Miss Struebling and the three men clam bered to safety. The Spademan went down ten minutes after the crew left here. FRIEND SAYS DR. COOK IS NOW IN EUROPE NEW YORK. Dec. 11.—“ While I am not authorized to give a statement regarding tiie whereabouts of Dr. Cook. I can say without violating any confidence that I am satisfied he is in Europe, and that he will appear next week before the com mittee of the University of Copenhagen which is examining his polar data.” , This statement was made last night by an Intimate frldnd of Dr. Cook, who in sisted that he had every reason to be lieve that within the next 48 hours the explorer will come out of seclusion and issue a statement covering every phase of the polar controversy. » 4 CITY RECEIVES 55.D01 EROM 111. P. INMAN ESTATE Mr. Inman Left This Amount to Atlanta for Hospital Purposes. The $5,000 bequest left by the late Wal ker P. Inman to the city of Atlanta for hospital purposes will be paid over to the city next week by the receivers for the Inman estate, Mrs. James R. Gray and Mrs. Harriet F. Brandon. Mr. Inman’s will provides that $2,000 shall be used for the benefit of the mater nity ward and $3,000 for general hospital purposes. The expenditure of the money is left to the executors of the Inman es tate—James R. Gray and Mrs. Harriet Brandon—and the city authorities. Mayor Maddox was officially notified of the legacy Saturday morning in a com munication from the attorneys for the re ceivers. This letter was as follows: "Hon. Robert F. Maddox. Atlanta. Ga.: “Dear Sir: The will of the late Walker P. Inman provides as follows: "ARTICLE VIII. “‘I give, bequest and devise to the city of Atlanta the sum of five thousand ($5,000) dollars for hospital purposes, to be paid by my executors to the proper city authorities as soon as same can be done conveniently after my death, which sum I direct shall be used in the follow ing manner: Two thousand ($2,000) dollars for the benefit of a maternity ward, or for the erection of a maternity hospital; the remaining three thousand ($3,000) dol lars to be used for general hospital pur poses in such manner as may be agreed upon by my executors and the city au thorities; but said sum shall not be used for any other purpose.’ "The receivers have obtained an order of court to pay over the sum of $5,000 to the city of Atlanta in accordance with article VIII, and they are ready to turn over to you the money. We inclose here with a receipt which we have drawn to cover the transaction. On your letting us know whether or not the receipt is in proper form we will have the receivers or one of them turn the money over to you in accordance with the court's order. It has been suggested that the $2,000 be used to repair and better equip the pres ent maternity ward of the Grady hospi tal, which was erected and donated to the city by the Old-Fashioned Women, who raised the funds which paid for it by various entertainments. The $3,000, it is said, could be expended to advantage in the erection of an out-door clinic for the Grady hospital, an addition long desired. Such a clinic would obviate the necessity of allowing clinical patients to traverse the corridors of the hospital before diag nosis‘or treatment and. would remove the danger of infection by contagious diseases suffered by the clinic's patients. -EDWARD AND THE QUEEN TO PAY VISIT TO LISBON i MADRID. Dec. 11.—It is reported in cir- I cles which are usually well-informed that | King Edward and Queen Alexandra of i England will nay a visit next spnng to Lisbon, traveling on board his majesty’s yacht, upon which they will resid? dur ing their stay in the Portuguese capita'. It is also stated that their majesties may pay an official visit to Spain and another to Faris. Should, however, the visit to St ain be postponed, that to France would also be pv.t off. It is Understood that King Alfonso will pay aM official visit to King Manual at Lisbon during next year. 'BLOODHOUNDS TRAIL TWO BURGLARS HOME Tracked by County Policeman B. K.

GORE EXAMINES LOOSE-DUNKLE NOTES NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—J. H. Gore, emer itus professor of mathematics at George Washington university, and chairman of ' the board of experts of the National Geographic society, came here from Washington today to examine the doc uments submitted by Capt. August W. Loose and George H. Dunkle, in sub i stanilation of their affidavits that they had been employed by Dr. Frederick A. Cook to fabricate observations for ills use In compiling the data he has submit ted to the University of Copenhagen as proof that he reached the north pole. Professor Gore also examined Captain Loose and Mr. Dunkle personally for a period of four hours. In advance of his report to the so ciety, Professor Gore would make no ' statement for publication. He will return !to Washington tomorrow. The documents I examined by him today will be sent to | the University of Copenhagen next week. D. A. R. LOSES THOUSANDS BY THE THEFT OF WOMAN WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Defalcations amounting to several thousand dollars from the Daughters of the American Revolution by a clerk employed in the i rational headquarters of the society here, weie made known today. The officers of the society have decided not to prosecutt the woman who confessed to the pecula tions. -which cover a period us at least three years. She, however, was dis missed. Postoffice Inspectors, by keeping on the society headquarters office from a building across the street, detected thf woman throwing away an envQjepe, ac cused her of taking money .mere from, and brought her to < her fault. The suspicions of officersi the-society was aroused by comp^ pt s received, al thougn they said 1* as evident that many complaints had been intercepted and destroyed by the woman. What has become of the money is a matter which is puzzling the society’s of ficers. The woman who conressed the embezzlement was possessed of an in come sufficient to make her independent it is said, aside from an ample salary she drew from the office. She lived quietly and without any outward display iof even .such luxury as she could afford I with her salary and income. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of EX-GDV. SMITH SPEAKS ON DODD EOVEHNMENT Stressed Importance of Legis lation and Administration for People’s Interest. An address on the subject of "Good Government,” by Ex-Governor Hoke Smith, was the feature of the annual meeting and luncheon of the Association of City Salesmen, held at noon Saturday in the New Kimball house. There is no man in Georgia better qual ified to speak on stale governmental af fairs than Mr. Smith, and his words were full of profound interest and im portance to an audienc* of business men. He dwelt upon the importance of re quiring legislation and administration in all lines, whether municipal, state or na tional, to be in the interest of the great body of the people. He insisted that those out of office wefe entitled to have service from those in office free from graft and selfishness; that this should apply not only to the honest use of public moneys, but also to the collection of taxes without favorit ism, and to the management of all mat ters of an official character in the in terests of all the people and not for the benefit of a favored few. PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER. He said that the people had the power to force a government of this character, but that government would rarely rise above the character of the voters. Every white man should be permitted to vote, but the greatest care should be I taken to prevent the votes of honest and patriotic electors from being killed by tire votes of hirelings or by fraud. No patriotic citizen should object to be ing put to some trouble to register for an election if the system of registration • under which he registered would con i tribute to prevent illegal votes and ele- I vate the position of an elector. i He commended the new registration ' law and stated that under it any man i entitled to vote could register. If he I neglected during the six months given I him for registration to use the opportun | ity, he alone was to blame, but under this j law it would be very difficult to use money to debauch elections, and} men from Chattanooga, Birmingham and other ppints outside the state would have little chance to kill the votes of real Georgians. SHOULD STUDY POLITICS. He asked if it was worth while for a citizen to take an interest in politics, to study the questions connected with his local and state affairs, and to go to some trouble to fit himself by registra tion for voting. He urged that it was worth while. That not c.nly the moral tone of the state but the financial interests of every citi zen required that he should give some time and, if necessary, take some trouble to participate as a voter, and he stated that citizens would feel less hesitation in performing this duty when assured fraudulent or purchased votes could not be used to kill votes cast at the dictate of honest conviction. He said time would not permit him to point out many illustrations of the Importance to the citizens of taking part as a voter in elections. He would call attention to three in municipal and state affairs. Pl BLIC SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION. Tne public schools of the state de pended upon legislation and administra tion. The training of our children comes largely from the public schools, it is more important than money left to them. Take Atlanta, for instance. How, ne cessary that every member *>f the board of education snould be a man entirely free from selfish purpose |n his service on the board, and that every teacher should be elected on ac count of fitness for the work and not on account of influential friends or po litical pull. If the voters put into the council men moved by high purpose of public service, the benefits to the individual voter would be lar reaching. CONVICT SYSTEM CHANGE He called attention to one piece of legislation recently passed in Georgia, the repeal oi the convict system. He pointed out how this legislation was forced in spite or the selfiish ef forts of those who were growing rich from hiring convicts. The convicts have been taken from men iitferested solely in making money out of them. They are now controlled by men occu pying official positions and the work of the convicts contributes to t|ie pub lic generally by building good roads. 1 Good government required that this should be done. And yet it came only after a most desperate struggle and as the result of efforts of men who In of fice recognized their obligations to the voters who put tnem in office and who i preferred to serve the public qt large rather than those few who wished to increase their wealth through the use of convict hire. Governor Smith gave this as an illus tration of one of those conditions con stantly arising where it paid the busi ness man, the professional man and the farmer to take an interest in politics and to put in office men free from control of selfish interests. W. & A. RENTALS. He said he would illustrate by another proposition. He called attention to the j Western and Atlantic railroad with its | terminals in Chattanooga valuable for business purposes and with its Pryor street front, its Whitehall street front and Its Broad street front in Atlanta. He stated that it was to the interest of the public that all these valuable terminals should be used to bring to the public the highest revenue possible, and that steps should be begun at once looking towards such a result, that the rental of terminals no longer needed for railroad purposes could today be made to bring to the state rentals more than the present entire in cowie of the state road. It is a business proposition to so handle these properties that they would produce the largest rev- 1 er.ue possible. REVENUE BENEFITS PEOPLE. The income of the state is disbursed principally for education, for the state sanitarium, for the deaf and dumb asy lum. for the blind asylum, for the tuber culosis sanitarium, for the state medical• board, for pensions, and in other ways! directly beneflcial to the masses of tne‘ people. The larger the revenue of the state the grater the benefit to the people if prop- j erly administered. He said that he had only sought to illus trate his view by calling attention to these few instances, municipal and state, which were within the control of our own Georgia people and which furnish ed opportunities for public service that affected the welfare of the individual out of office in Georgia more than sufficient to justify attention to public affairs, care and some trouble, if necesary. to register and prepare to vote, and he closed by in sisting that participation as electors in elections was worth while to the indi vidual citizen.

W. Gould Brokaw, for a I separation and alimony. The trial, so far, ras been replete with sensations. counsel for Mrs. Brokaw bringing out through protracted question ing of hie client and introduction of nu merous telegraphic messages, testimony to support her charges that she had been spied upon, ill-treated and her life made miserable through her husband's jeal ousy and ill temper. That the evidence to come will not be less sensational was indicated by the in timation today from Mr. Brokaw’s coun sel that when the trial was resumed Mon day Mrs. Brokaw would be questioned on cross-examination in an effort to obtain from her admissions that her husband was not entirely unjustified in his jeal ousy. A tentative attempt on Mr. Bro kaw’s part at a reconciliation failed yes terday, and the indications today wer* that the trial would continue on its bit terly contested way. y South Carolina News NEWBERRY, S.
