GEORGIA NEWS ITEMS Brief Summary of interesting Happenings Culled at Random. Many Negroes Aro Defaulters. Between eight and ten thousand tax defaulters are in the county of Fulton. Tax Collector Stews) t has been busy for the past mouth sending out notices of default, and he is still engaged along this line. In speaking of the defaulters'Mr. Stewart says: “The majority of the tax defaulters in this county are negroes, and I think the whole trouble is caused by the be lief which many negroes have that they do not have t.o pay poll tax if they do not vote. This, however, does not have anything to do with it since Chinamen pay the poll tax and are not allowed to vote. There are in all be tween 8,000 and 10,000 defaulters now." * * * School Election to He Contested. The recent election for school com missioner of Dodge county will be contested.

A Washington dispatch says: Sen ator Bacon, of Georgia, who led the fight in the senate against the admin istration’s Philippine policy, has this to say regarding the capture of Again uldo: “The capture of Agninaldo will most probably hare a strong influence toward the general pacification of the islands. How complete or how per manent this may be it is difficult to conclude at this time in the absence of more definite knowledge of condi tions there. The question of the dis position of Aguinaldo may be a more difficult one than was the fact of his capture. The probability is that he will be sent to Guam, which hss be come the American St. Helena.” Senator Bacon contemplates a trip to the Philippines this spring to make a personal investigation of the condi tions there. ... **<uiKiiiK Postponed; Lyrisliiiig Threat ened. ike five negroes—Andrew Davis, Arnold Augustus, William Hudson, Samuel Balden and ltichard Sanders— about whom so much excitement has been created in Sylvania, Screven couuty, were not banged last Friday, * respite haviug been granted at the last moment by Governor Candler, to await the decision of the supreme court on the motion for anew trial, f’he prisoners were returned t j Savan nah Saturday morning and lodged in Chatham county jail. They left Sa vannah with a legal halter about their necks that gave excellent promise of being tightened at Sylvauia. Process of law, however, loosened the legal noose and there was immenent danger of its being replaced with one haviug no connection with the law and order. ery narrowly the five men escaped execution at the hands of the sheriff of Screven county, and they had little more margin of immunity from the nauds of the incensed citizens of the county who had sworn to wreak ven- geance upon them for the murder ol Constable Mears and Special Constable Herrington, whom they shot down down from ambush last August. It is known that arrangements had been made by a tnob to storm the jail in Sylvania and secure the prisoners. They were then to be promptly swung up. Action of the authorities disarm ed the prospective lynchers, how ever. A special train was provided by the Sylvania railroad early Saturday morning. Sentinels were thrown out to guard against a surprise, and a strong detachment of the guards enter ed the jail, secured the prisoners, hur ried them to the train, put them aboard, and in charge of Major Gray son, Sheriff W. B. Thompson and forty members of the Screven Guards, the train sped away for Rockford, where it made connection with the Central railroad passenger train for Savannah. Sheriff Thompson recommitted the prisoners to the custody of the Savau nah jailer until their disposition may be determined by the supreme court. • • * Savannah’s Naval Stores Reeeipts. The naval stores season of 190 Q-1901 ended at Savannah last Saturday.

The year has not been a good one because of high prices of labor and timber lands. * * * Koad Pays Damages. The celebrated case of Henry M. Bryant vs. the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railway company for dam ages was terminated in Marietta the past week by the payment of $1,621 to the plaintiff, Bryant. This case has been bitterly contested through sev eral courts, having gone to the su preme court twice before final termi nation. * * No Hompsiead For Hankrupt. In the United States court at Macon the past week Judge Speer rendered a decision of importance. Joel W. Lock wood, bankrupt, having asked that a homestead exemption be set apart to him by the trustees, the Exchange bank of Fort Valley filed objections on the ground that it held homestead waiver notes of Lockwood and that if the homestead was set apart to him it would lose its security. Judge Speer held that the objection to the setting apart of the homestead was well taken and the bankrupt was denied the homestead. * * * Bonds May Bring: 110.

Legislators Disapprove of Method Used In Aguinaido’s Capture. In the Texas house of reuresenta tives Tuesday morning o re elution was introduced extending sympathy to Aguiualdo and condemning “the method of deception and fraud” by which he was captured by Gener al Funston, who is characterized in the resolution as “the Kan sas fakir and swashbuckler.” An amendment was offered praising Fun ston ior his action, which was ruled out of order, and the original reso tion was referred to the committee on federal regulations.

FILIPINO CHIEFTAIN SWEARS ALLEGIANCE Aguinaldo “Sworn In ’ As An American Citizen. TAKES OATH IN 000D GRACE Promise of Fealty to Uncle sam, However, Does Not Mean a Release From Captivity. The war department Tuesday re ceived information from General Mac- Arthur that Aguiualdo has taken the oath of allegiance to the United States under the terms of amnesty offered by General MacArthur, by direction of the president. The news came to the department in the following cable gram: “Manila—Adjutant General, Wash ington—Since arrival at Manila Aguin aldo has been at Malacauan investi gating conditions in archipelugo. He has relied almost entirely upon the instructive advice of Chief Justice Areliano and swore to the declaration on page 11 of my annual report. MacAbthub. The oath referred to is as follows: “ hereby renounce all allegiance to any and all so-called rev olutionary governments in the Philip pine islands, and recognize and accept the supreme authority of the United States of America therein; I do sol emnly swear that I will bear true faith and allegiance to that government; that I will at all times conduct myself as a faithful and law-abiding citizen of the said islauds and will not, either directly or indirectly, hold corre spondence with or give intelligence to an enemy of the United States, nor will I abet, harbor or protect such enemy ;that I impose upon myself voluntary obligations without any mental reservations or purpose of eva sion, so help me God.” General MacArthur’s dispatch con tained much more than was given to the public. The portion withheld re lated to the future disposition of Agui ualdo and made suggestions as to what the late chief of the insurrection might accomplish. No official state ment could be obtained as to what finally would be done with the pris oner, but it was emphatically stated that he would be held for the present, but that be would be granted all pos sible immunity consistent with exist ing conditions. General MacArthur has hoDed that a great deal may be accomplished through Aguinaldo. Dur ing the time he has been prisoner he has made quite a favorable impression upeu General MacArthur. It has been suggested that, under the terms of the notice of amnesty,the prisoner should bo set at liberty at once but there is a provision in tbe amnesty proclamation which says that those who have violated the laws of war are excepted from its terms. Whether or not General Mae Arthur has satisfied himself that Aguinaldo has not violated the laws of war can not be Rtated, as the prisoner would be permitted to take the oath pending the investigation of his past conduct. Having been head of the insurrec tion, Aguinaldo undoubtedly cau be held until further investigation is made, or until the circumstances which surround the situation in tbe Philippines make it advisable to re lease him outright or otherwise dis pose of him. These conditions and the general situation and Aguinaldo’s relation to them were the subject of General McArthur’s dispatch and are being considered by the authorities who will have the final disposition of the matter. WAS WELCOME NEWS. The news of Aguinaldo’s action was received with evident satisfaction by the war department, and the opinion was expressed that good results would follow among those who have been still holding out against the United States. “Aguinaldo’s taking the oath of al legiance,” said one member of the cab inet Tuesday, “emphasizes the im portance of his capture. It makes more clear that the insurrection has about reached its end and foreshadows the early complete general acceptance of United States sovereignty and au thority. RUSSIA’S DEMANDS. Contents of Proposed Treaty Which China Refuses to Sign. A Washington special says: The proposed private treaty between China and Russia, known as the Manchurian agreement, is designed by Russia to get full control finally of Manchuria. It is provided in brief that Russia is to occupy all the forts and fortifica tions now standing and is to have command of all the Chinese troops in them; that no more troops or ammuni tion are to be imported into the prov ince; that China shall exercise a police control of the province, and if she fails in this then Russia is to assume com plete jurisdiction.
