CHARGES DENIED.
Convict Camp Superintendent,
Hcßee, Comes Back at County
Solicitor Edmundson.
In an interview with Mr. Mcßee, one
of the superintendents of the Lowndes
county, Go., ehaingang, referring to
the charge of Mr. J. W. Edmondson,
the attorney of Quitman, against the
Lowndes county ehaingang, an account
of which has just appeared in the pa
pers, he said, among other things:
“The charges are but a boomerang
and the motive of Mr. Edmondson is
concealed. The truth is, Mr. Edmond
son is a brother-in-law of Mr. M. Brice,
owner and proprietor of the Brooks
county ehaingang. Mr. Brice has a
contract with some counties for the
misdemeanor convicts and recently in
one county we made a contract with
some misdemeanor convicts, agreeing
to pay their fines and let them go to
Kinderton and cook with us, rather
than be confined at Brice’s camp under
the sentence.
“Mr Brice learned of this and Mr.
Edmondson, his attorney, came to our
place and stated that he had been em
ployed by Mr. Brice, his brother-in
law and proprietor of the Brooks coun
ty ehaingang, to investigate the mat
ter and get these men away from out
place because, he said, we had inter
fered with him when we paid
the fines, as he wanted the
convicts at his works in Brooks
county. He was short of laborers.
We explained our contract with them
and w hat we had done. He was given
access to them and we find that ho did
his utmost to induce them to leave our
place, and they refused to do so.
“He also claimed that he was repre
senting some relatives of parties he
insisted were illegally restrained of
their liberty, not in the Lowndes
county ehaingang, nor by nny of its
superintendents, but by Mr. W. S.
McKee, who does not work any con
victs but works free labor and con
ducts a farm adjoining ours, and when
assured that they were not legally re
strained he said that if allowed to see
the laborers on the Mcßee place, and
they were illegally restrained, he would
not, be making charges and bringing
habeas corpus proceedings to test these
questions. He accordingly was allow
ed to go alone among the employees of
W. S. Mcßee, aud we are assured by
the negroes that be sought to induce
them to leave by offering a better posi
tion to them, and if they would meet
him nt Corbett’s bar in Valdosta he
would give them money to go and get
the position he referred to—Brice’s.
“He succeeded then in getting only
six out of the crowd aud three of this
number, failing to meet him in Val
dosta, returned to work at McKee’s
place. Unsatisfied, Mr. Edmondson,
in order to got these servants away and
get them where be could offer
them sufficient inducement to leave
their employment, filed habeas corpus
proceedings for a purnber of women
and children and they were carried at
once before the city court of Valdosta,
where the case was tried, Mr. Edmond
son appearing and representing his
case.
“Before the trial was over Mr. Ed
mondson stated to the court the weak
ness of hiR contention and judgment
was rendered against his client for the
cost, and declaring them not legally
restrained, but Edmondson succeeded
then in decoying away tlieso servants,
and he and a party with him carried
them to Brooks county. Everything
at the county gang, or at our place,
has always been open to inspection by
the prison commission, county com
missioners and grand juries, and is
now.”
NOT ALLOWED TO LAND.
Chinese Crew of Vessel at Savannah
Forced to Remain On Board.
The steamship Ettriekdale arrivod
at Savaunak with twenty-nine China
men in the crew. Health Officer
Brunner demanded that they bo made
to sleep ashore in accordance with the

Captain Stewart declined to give the
Ckinameu into the care of the city,
stating that he could not land them
under the exclusion act.
The treasury department advised
the collector of the port that the China
men must not be allowed to leave the
vessel, aud guards were stationed
aboard it to soe that they do not get
on shore.
GALVESTON STOR?PrEPORT

GEORGIA NEWS ITEMS
Brief Summary of Interesting
Happenings Culled at Random.
Talk of a New liailroarf.
j Rumors are rife in regard to the
building of anew railroad from Eaton
ton to Siloarn, Green county, by way
of the site of the old Long Shoals fac
i tory, on the Oconee river. Who is at
j the back of this move, when it will be
built and other details connected with
it, is not known. It is said, though,
that in the near future work on the
road will begin.

Arbitrators Chanffw Value.
The arbitrators appointed to assess
the true value of the Plant system’s
property in Georgia have returned
their report to Comptroller General
W. A. Wright. Under this assess
ment, which is final and binding on
! both the road and the state, the vnlua- ;
i tion placed on the property iu ques
tion by the comptroller general is
! slightly reduced in each case, while
the figures originally offered by the
! Plant system are materially increased.
The fact of general interest about
the arbitrators’ report, however, is_
that they have, without authority, al
though probably unintentionally, gone
ahead and raised and lowered as they \
! saw fit valuations on certain Plant
i system properties that were not in
} controversy.
In one instance the board has lower
ed to less than half the value placed
on them by the road all the side tracks j
of the Savannah, Florida and Western,
the Wayeross division, the Brunswick j
aud Western branch and the Charles- |
ton and Western branch. All side
j tracking on the lines are valued uni
formly by the arbitrators at §2,000 per
mile, whereas they have always in the
; past been returned, some of them, at
twice and three times that valuation.
The Gainesville branch, the Monti
‘ cello branch, the Albany branch and
j the Junction branch, all of the Plant
j system, in regard to which no contro
versy whatever had arisen, have all
[ been changed in value by the arbitra
! tors, some being appraised at a higher
; and some at a lower figure than here
tofore.
The question now arises, will the
changes in the valuations suggested by
; the arbitrators iu the case of property
where the state and the Plant system
rwere thoroughly agreed, be allowed to
stand? Comptroller General Wright
is satisfied that the changes were made
under a misunderstanding, and on this
belief, he refused to express an opin-
I ion as to wether or not the changes
; would be allowed to staud.

Department Shows Large Revenue.
The annual report of Commissioner
of Agriculture 0.8. Stevens for the fis
' cal year ending October Ist will show
that the net income of the state from
the agricultural department is upward
j of §37,000.
i The income of the department of
agriculture is derived from two sources,
the inspection of fertilizers and the
inspection of illuminating oils. From
the former §25,'492.48 has been real
ized during the year now closing, which
j is the largest revenue, by several thou
sand dollars, ever obtained through
| the inspection of fertilizers. The net
income from this source last year
amounted to only $15,833, or practi
cally SIO,OOO less than is shown for
the present year.
The decided gain to the state from
the inspection of fertilizers is due, of
course, to the fact that more of the
manufactured product has been in
spected than ever before, but also it is
accounted for in the fact that Commis
sioner Stevens obtained his fertilizer
tags at a remarkably low figure and
has given constant attention to this
department of his work.
“The law provides,” said Commis
sioner Stevens, “that the net revenue
I from the inspection of fertilizers shall
go with the revenue from oil inspec
i tions to the common school fund of the
state. I think, however, that it should
! go to the education of the farming
classes, to the people who use fertili
ers from which the income is derived.”
j “So far as my department is con
cerned the year has been a successful
one for the state, as is shown by the
net revenue from its two sources of
income, aud I am thoroughly satisfied
with the showing that has bean made. ”
...
A.k Only Half Tuy.
The members of the general court
martial which recently tried several
cases at Savannah met Saturday night
| and decided to accept from the state
! only half the pay allowed by law for
their services. Instead of $5 a day
which they are allowed they will re
ceive only $2.50. This action was
due to some criticism on account of
j the great expense attached to the
courtmartial and to a desire to help
the military cause in the state. This
does not apply to the judge advocate,
Lieutenant D. C. Barrow, Jr., nor the
: court stenographer, but to the follow
! iug five members of the court: Lieu
i tenant Colonel T. S. Wylly, Major
Thomas Screven, Captain P. F. Glea
j son, Captain C. H. Richardson aud
; Lieutenant George Richter.

Reward Offered For Tuggle.
A reward is offered by the executive
’ department for the arrest, with proof
j to convict, of Ike Tuggle, of Walton
I county, okarged with the murder of
William Spellman in that county on
1 January 16th. Th* amount of reward
was fixed by Governor Candler at $l5O,
and it is believed that Tuggle, who is
said to be now in the neighborhood of
i his crime, will soon be captured.
One man, who was charged with be
i iug accessory to the murder of Spell
man, has already been tried and sen
tenced therefor to the penitentiary for
life.

Macon's Street Fair a Success.
The street fair at Macon the past
week was an unqualified success.
Nearly every one seems to have been
satisfied with the show and it is un
doubtedly conceded the greatest suc

along this line. The visitors were loud
in their praises of the Maconites for
their hospitality and seemed satisfied
that they had been given more than
money’s worth.
GERMAN SATIRE
Is Aimed at President McKinley
For Refusal to Agree With
Kaiser Bill.
Advices from Berlin state that the
Chinese situation, particularly Ger
many’s proposal and the United States’
answer, monopolized public attention
the past week. The press, both semi
official and independent, continues to
severely blame President McKinley
for his refusal to agree with the prop
osition of Germany.
The Cologne Gazette, which since
the outbreak of the China troubles, has
been the favorite mouthpiece daily of
the foreign office, combatted the view
that Germany had been trying to em
bark the other powers on dangerous
seas or attempting to obtain the lead in
the Chinese negotiations.
The Lokal Anzeiger argues that the
United States knows, through Minis
ter Conger, that the Chinese govern
ment has been ths real culprit. Hence,
it adds, it is ridiculous to expect this
same government ta punish itself—“as
the United States pretends to believe
in its reply to Germany.”
The report that Prince Tuan has.
been appointed to a post where his
influence for evil is even greater than
it formerly was, is regarded by gov
ernment aud press in the kaiser’s do
mains as unmistakable evidence that
the Chinese government does not want
peace. The argument, besides,is that
Germany’s demand that China give up
the ringleaders before peace negotia
tions are begun must be complied with
by China in order to show that she is
really acting in good faith.
The papers express the hope that
Field Marshal Cftunt Yon NYaldorsee
will issue a decree offering a large re
! ward for Prince Tuan, dead or alive,
; as a means of impressing upon the
l Chinese mind the fact that the powers
I are in earnest.
The strong evidence that Kussia has
seized the opportunity to formally an
nex part of Manchuria and the state
ment pf a correspondent of The Ber
lin Tageblatt in Trga, Mongolia, that
Russia already treats with Mongolia
as her own, are treated at Berlin with
marked indfference.

GOV.ROOSEVELT
WAS INSULTED
Hired Ruffians at Victor,
Colorado, Attack Him.
SAVED BY ROEGS! RIDERS
Object of Hoodlums Was to Break Up
Meeting, But Roosevelt Finished His
Speech Before Trouble Began.
Governor Roosevelt had a most ex
citing experience Wednesday at Vic
tor, Colorado, a few miles from Crip
ple Creek, among the mines, where a
demonstrative crowd had assembled.
The governor had a narrow escape
from serious personal violence. The
incident was the only one of the kind
that has occurred during the progress
of the trip, and it is said the trouble
was occasioned by a body of roughs
who had been organized and paid for
the purpose of breaking up the meeting.
The men engaged were between 1,000
and 1,500 in number and were violent
in their attack.
Governor Roosevelt spoke at Armory
hall, which was filled. He had hardly
begun speaking when he was inter
rupted by noisy demonstrations. He
said:
“In my state the men who were put
on the committee on platform to draw
up an anti-trust platform at the Kan
sas City convention had at that time
their pockets stuffed with ice trust
stock. The Democratic leader in New
York, Richard Croker, upon whom
you base your only hope, and it is a
mighty slim hope, too, was another
great stockholder, and if, in fact, you
were to read through the list of stock
holders in that trust it would sound
like reading the roll of the members of
Tammany Hall.”
A voice cried: “What about the rot
ten beef?”
The governor replied: “I ate it aud
you will never get near enough to be
hit with a bullet, or within five miles
of it.”
Governor Boosevelt succeeded in
finishing his remarks, though there
was an evident intention among those
present that he should not do so. When
the governor left the hall with hi3
party to go toward the train he was
surrounded by a company of rough
riders, commanded by one of his own
soldiers in the Spanish war.
He was also accompanied by Gener
al Curtis Guild, Jr., of- Boston; John
Proctor Clarke of New York; General
Irving Hale of Colorado; United States
Senator Wolcott; Frank L. Goudy,
candidate for governor of Colorado;
Percy C Ryder, candidate for lieuten
ant governor; A. M. Stevenson, Lieu
tenant Tice and several others.
Governor Roosevelt and his party
were on foot. A crowd of boys and
men began throwing stones and shout
ing for Bryan. The rongh riders,
mounted and unmounted, closed in
around the governor to protoct him
from assault by the mob. One made
a personal attack upon the governor
with a stick. The assailant was im
mediately knocked down by the post
master of Cripple Creek.
A rush was then made by the mob
to drag the mounted men in kbaki uni
forms from their horses. The men on
foot, also in khaki, closed in around
the governor, making a wedge tvhich
pushed through the crowd, and they
finally succeeded in gaining the train,
which was surrounded by the mob.
By this time there were probably a
thousand or fifteen hundred excited
people in the vicinity, and fisticuffs
were exchanged on all sides. Many of
the mob were armed with sticks and
clubs, some with rotten potatoes, stale
egg* aud lemons. The entire party
regained the train, however, without
serious injury and it pulled out of the
place with the rough riders ou the rear
platform.
Governor Boosevelt, while regretting
the occurrence, was not disturbed by
the incident and was ready to proceed
with his speeches in Cripple Creek.
CELESTIALS WILL BE SENT HOME

United States Marshal Horr will ac
company the Chinamen to San Fran
cisco. Upon arriving at New Orleans
the prisoners will be taken into the
custody of the railroad agents, who are

port such prisoners across the country.
MOB OF YOUNG BOYS
Attempt to Interrupt Roosevelt In a
Speech at Canon City.
At Canon City, Colorado, another
organized attempt was made by a small
minority to interrupt Governor Roose
velt in his speech. The mob was com
posed mostly of hoys, with a few men
who shouted for Bryan and cheered so
as to interrupt the speakers. One of
the youngsters, being a*ked why he
was acting so disorderly, stated that
he was hired to do sp.
