Washington.—The census bureau
announced the population, of Memphis,
showing that this city, which was sec
ond among Southern cities in 1900,
has been supplanted in second place
by Atlanta, and has dropped to the
fourth place.
Southern cities, in regard to pop
ulation, now occupy the relative posi
tion shown in the foregoing table.
It has been jiredicted that the pop
ulation of Atlanta would exceed the
population of Memphis, but the fact
that Birmingham slipped into third
place and Memphis dropped to fourth
Is a surprise.
The census figures caused a great
disappointment in Memphis. A few
weeks ago a committee from the Mem
phis Business club went to Washing
ton and asked that the census of Mem
phis be taken over again. Three
wards were investigated, and it was
found that the first enumeration was
correct. The recount was denied.
One reason for Memphis' failure to
continue the great gorwth shown In
1900 is said to be the fact that there
Is no more outlying territory left for
it to include within its limits.

100 KILLED IN RIOT.
Bloody Battle in Mexico Between Po
lice and Anti-Re-Electionist6.
Mexico City.—One hundred persons.
Including the chief of police, were
killed and numbers injured in riots
at Puebla, according to the statement
of passengers arriving here from that
city.
The stories told by passeniers are
to the effect that the trouble began
when a number of policemen, headed
by the chief, attempted to break up a
meeting of anti-re-electionists which
was being held in a large hall. As
Chief of Police Miguel Cabrera and
his men advanced toward the building,
a door was opened by a woman, who
shot and killed the chief. A fight
then ensued between the police and
the occupants. Bo far as known there
were no Americans killed.
El Paso, Texas.—Attacks on Amer
icans in Mexico and rumors of a Mex
ican invasion of Texas to avenge the
lynching of Rodriguez, were but masks
for a revolutionary plot honeycomb
ing several of the states of Mexico,
which was planned to culminate in a
general uprising against the Diaz gov
ernment.
The developments of the past few
days indicate that the anti-American
demonstration was a mask to cloak
the real situation, although danger has
existed and still exists
Chicago Strike Ricts.
Chicago. Renewed rioting, in
which one policeman was shot, took
the place of the comparative peace
which has marked the garment work
ers' strike. More than a score of the
strikers, most of them women and
girls, were arrested and a number of
policemen were injured. Thomas
Floyers, a prlvitc detective, was shot
while aiding tho police disperse a
crowd of strikers. The strikers were
said to be on their way to break into
a plant where non-union help is em
ployed.
Mrs. Schenck Indicted.
Wheeling, W. Va.—Mrs. Laura
Farnsworth Schenck, charged with ad
ministering poison to her millionaire
kusbaad, Johu O. Schenck, was in
dieted by tha grand jury of Ohio
county. While no definite informa
t*on is given out through the prose
cutipg attorney's office, it is iearnec
that only nurses who have been em
ploysd by the Schenck family and Dr
Frank L. Hupp, upon whose findings
Mrs. Schenck was first arrested, were
present to testify before the grant
jury.
FOOD PRICES DROP.
Prices of Fresh Meats Have Fallen
and Flour and Sugar Are
Cheaper.
Chicago.—A bumper corn crop and
unusually heavy receipts of cattle and
pork at the stock yards was given by
Chicago dealers as the cause of the
decline of prices in foodstuffs over
the country. A decline in prices at
the stock yards was followed by a
reduction of fresh meats and staples.
Commission men predicted lower
prices still on everything except eggs,
which, they say, are going higher.
The following shows some of the
reductions here in the last week:

on October 8 to 7.82%.
J. Ogden Armour, head of Armour
& Co., said the whole tendency in
live stock prices was lower. He also
declared the descent lyould be grad
ual, and warned the public from ac
cepting too hastily the belief that a
drop from the hghest to the lowest
prices was due.
There was also a sharp decline in ce
reals and fruits.
It remains a problem whether the
reduction in prices will reach as far
as the consumer.
SUFFRAGETTES FIGHT POLICE
English Women Try to Reach Parlia
ment Leaders.
London, England.—The militanl
suffragettes reopened hostilities agair
against the government and marching,
16,000 strong, on the parliament build
ing, gave the police a lively fight. Tho
women, many of whom were placed
under arrest, were led by Mrs. Em
ineline Pankhurst.
The suffragettes had determined, il
possible, to dodge the police cordon
about the house of commons, and,
reaching Premier Asquith, to insist
upon the adoption of a woman suf
frage hill. The police, however, were
too strongly entrenched, aud the wom
en, who tried every means in their
power to force tho line, were thrown
back.
Repeatedly they reitred breathlessly
and disheveled, only to have thqir
places on the fighting line taken by
reserve*.
A large contingent of American blue
jackets from the visiting fleet were
amused spectators to the strugjj.j. *
PRO HIBI CA W RULING.
Dry Law Is Held to Be
Valid by Court.
Montgomery, Ala.—The Alabama su
preme court neld valid the state stat
ute for the suppression of the evils j
of intemperance, in the case brought j
up in the city court of Montgomery by
William J. Toole a year ago.
The court overruled Toole in his
contention that the Alabama law was
not operative because the beer com
prised interstate shipments by for
eign corporations to divers persons in
this state and that the liquor was in
transit, Toole holding it for the pur
chasers.
Took* was also overruled in his
plea that the law is In violation of I
section 45 of the constitution, which j
says that each law shall contain but j
one subject clearly expressed in its
title.
IMMIGRANTS FOR THE SOUTH
Planned to Divert Settlers From the j

states to attend a conference in St.
Louis to take steps to obtain national
legislation which will send desirable
immigrants from the congested East- |
era ciUes to the undeveloped country
in thd middle West will be sent out
soon by Governor Hadley.
The fact that President Taft recent
ly declared he would favor any plan
which would result in diverting immi
grants from the crowded cities to the
Western agricultural country is evi

TERRELL IS NAKED
SENATOR FOR GEORGIA
EX-GOVERNOR SUCCEEDS LATE A.
S. CLAY IN UNITED STATES
SENATE.
APPOINTMENT ANTICIPATED
Action of Governor Brown Was No
Surprise—New Senator Serves
Until Next June.
Atlanta.—Joseph Meriwether Ter
rell is the new United States senator
from Georgia.
The proclamation naming former
Governor Terrell to succeed the late
Senator Clay was made out by Gov
ernor Brown, and read at a surprise
dinner party given at the mansion in
honor of Georgia’s junior senator.
The naming of Governor Terrell
will probably cause no surprise at all
throughout the state. He was the one
man most conspicuously mentioned for
the post, and the one who was uni
versally expected to win the coveted
honor.
Throughout the two heated cam
paigns of Governor Brown, he was the
power behind the throne; he organ
ized the state, and his hand was on
every detail of the organization that
won victory two years ago, and that
mustered 100,000 men to the polls this
year.
A former governor of Georgia and
former attorney general of the state,
Senator Terrell has been conspicuous
for his interest in education for the
boys and girls of the state. The es
tablishment of the eleven district ag
ricultural schools which have since
come into being, was made an issue
in his campaign of 1902, when he first
rati for governor, and authorized dur
ing his incumbency in that office.
Senator Terrell served In the lower
house in the sessions of 1884 and 1880
ar.d in the senate which convened in
1890. He was elected attorney general
in 1892 and served until 1902, when he
resigned to make the race for gov
ernor. lu that campaign he made over
120 speeches and defeated two able
opponents, Hon. DuPont Guerry of
Bibb and J. H. Estill of Chatham.
He served in the office of governor
for four years and eight months, be
ing given an extra length of time, ow
ing to the action of the legislature iu
changing the time of meeting of tho
legislature from October to Jure. He
retired from the govrnor’s chair on
July 1, 190i>, and has since been en-
the practice of law in At
lanta.
The new junior senator from Geor
gia is in the meridian of his mental
and physical faculties, being just 49
years of age. He was born in Green
ville, Meriwether county, on June 6,
IS6I, the son of Joel E. G. and Sarah
R. (Anthony) Terrell. The county of
his birth was for Gen. David
Meriwether, an uncle of his grandfa
ther, and the one for whom the grand
father was named. He was educated
in the common schools of the state
and studied law, being admitted to
the bar in 1882. Four years later, on
October 19, 1886, he married Jessie
Lee Spivey of Greenville.
In manner the new senator is calm,
courteous and dignified. He is a man
of simple habits, frugal manner of liv
ing, and absolutely without affecta
tion. He knows and is known to tens
of thousands of Georgians.
The term for which Senator Ter
rell is named began at his appoint
ment, and will terminate on the sec
ond Tuesday after the legislature
meets next June; or whenever his suc
cessor is elected and qualifies. Mr.
Terrell will be a candidate before the
legislature or before the people if a
primary is called by the state com
mittee, for the remainder of Sena
tor Clay's term, expiring March 3,
1915.
AMENDMENT JLLEGAL.
Judges’ Salaries May Not Be Raised
After All.
Augusta.—The county board of com
missioners declined to pay the in
creased salary of tne judge of the
superior court, basing its action upon
the opinion of Salem Dutcher and W.
K. Miller to the effect that the con
stitutional amendment recently adopt
ed was void and illegal. The matter
will be taken into the courts and in
the meantime the county treasurer is
ordered to pay out no money under
the amendment.
Both attorneys agree, arriving at
their conclusions in different terms,
that not only was the recently voted
amendment unconstitutional in so far
as it increased the salary of the su
perior court judge, but also in that
section whereby the judges who had
received the additional $3,000 in years
past were freed from the obligation of
having to refund this money. Both at
torneys agree that the amendment can
not be retroactive in this regard.
\
Macon has slipped into third place
among Georgia cities with no little
celebration. When the figures on the
census of Augusta's population drop
ped out of Washington, it looked in
the Central City like pulling up a
notch would set every business man
wild with joy. If the figures on Au
gusta are correct, given at 37,826, Ma
con is ahead by a good margin. It
is now Atlanta, Savannah, Macon, Au
gusta and then the others. The jump
“is a matter which has caused a great
deal of pride in Macon.
MANY NEW SCHOOLS.
Professor Stewart Finds Certain Sec
tions of State Making Fine
Progress Educationally.
Athens. —Prof. Joseph S. Stewart
has just returned from a trip of in
spection of the high schools along the
road from Elberton to Toccoa. He re
ports that no fifty miles of territory in
the state has possibly made as great
progress educationally In the last two
or three years as this. Elberton has
recently completed a $38,000 senool
building, equipped with single adjus
tible desks, a $1,200 laboratory for
physics, telephones and electric
clocks and signals in every room, and
four teachers in the high school de
partment. They are planning for a
four years’ course next year, also for
domestic science.
Bowman has opened this fall a new
graded school building costing about
SB,OOO and Mercer-Gibson institute has
remodeled the academic building and
erected a large brick dormitory for
the boarding students. The academy
has a four-year course of study.
Canon has a beautiful little brick
school house, which cost about SB,OOO.
It presents an attractive appearance
from the railroad. Some improve
ment is shown in the school.
Royston has a large two-story brick
building, which has recently been very
much improved, while the curriculum
has been likewise improved.
Bowersville opened this fall a beau
tiful two-story building, costing slw
600. A high school department uas
been added to the grades.
Hartwell has a beautiful brick house
costing $22,000. The board is now
planning several improvements to the
curriculum and equipment. Up to
three years ago this town had only
a private school. Now nearly 350
students are enrolled.
Hart county is also feeling the ef
fect of the public school revival in
Hartwell, and a majority of the school
districts have voted a school tax. The
whole county will probably be under
a local tax by 1812.
Lavonia voted a local tax three
years ago and issued bonds to pur
chase and enlarge the old private
school building. The attendance has
mere than doubled and the school is
being rapidly improved. They have
just been given a Carnegie library.
Martin has built a one-story brick
school house costing about $5,000.
Toccoa has had a good brick build
ing for some time. now over
crowded. The people vew d litaU. month
bonds to erect a high school builiiVuig.
TMw are offering fWir years’ courk*e
aid have authorized the purchase of
SBOO worth of apparatus to be in by
the new year.
Every one of these towns is oper
ating a local tax school and in each
the school bouse is the best building
ing the town with possibly the excep
tion of the court house in Toccoa. The
people are proud of their schools and
school houses and are backing the
boards and teachers in making them
better.
This fifty-mile trip along the Savan
nah is alive to the value of education.
The people are prosperous and the in
creased training will make them more
prosperous, for the economic develop
ment is proportional to the length and
efficiency of the school life of a peo
ple.
A JOB FOR HOWARD.
Athens Banner Suggests State-at-Large
x Congressman.
Athens.—The Athens Banner print
ed the following story:
William M. Howard for congress
man from the state of Georgia at
large!
This is the suggestion which Is be
ing made by a number of loyal friends
and admirers of the congressman from
the Eight district of Georgia.
There are conditions, provisos and
contingencies, however.
But at the same time the suggestion
which is being energetically and en
enthusiasticaliy made shows what in
esteem the congressman from this dis
trict is being held and what his worth
to the state, the party and the South
is when Ms services are reckoned.
This is census year. The figures of
the population of Georgia have not
been announced. The increase is
known, however, to be considerable.
That it will be enough to entitle Geor
gia to another congressman is believ
ed to be the case.
Provided that congress by enact
ment at its next session makes the
apportionment on the bases of the
present congress, it is possible that
even if the proportionate figures are
increased, as many believe that con
gress will determine, Georgia would
still be entitled to a twelfth represen
tive. _ *
It happened in Georgia in 1882, when
the census of 1880 gave Georgia its
tenth congressman and the state was
not redistricted immediately, and Hon.
Thomas Hardeman of Macon was
elected in a general state election as
the tenth representative from Geor
gia—a congressman from the state
at-large.
Close friends to Mr. Howard state
that he is loth to enter a race again.
The United States commissioner ol
education publishes the State Normal
school at Athens among the best fif
teen normal schools in the 197 such
schools in the United States. Five
hundred and one students have been
registered this fall in the State Nor
mal school at Athens, with 130 in the
‘Muscogee Elementary school, making
a total enrollment of 631. There is
room in the dormitories for only 360
students, therefore more than eighty
students are boarding in the homes of
the immediate neighborhood.
