BALLOT REFORM
Governor of Georgia Will Take
a Strong Position.
FEATURES OF HIS .MESSAGE
Chief Executive Will Also Advise
Equalizing and Reduction of
Burden of Taxation.
In his forthcoming message to the
Georgia legislature Governor Candler
will recommend such an amendment
to the constitution as will restrict the
ballot to the virtue and intelligence of
the state. Tho governor will point
out the evils that have grown up as
the result of traffic in the ballot, and
will lay it down as a self-evident
proposition that the man who would
sell his ballot is not entitled to it.
The corrupting influence upon the
body politio of the purchase and sale
of votes and the evils growing out of
such a system are pointed out in
strong langauge in the draft of his
message.
The steps taken by sister states to
wards restriction of the ballot are re
ferred to, and while there is no sug
gestion of any particular plan for se
curing the desired end, the governo; 'a
idea that the mass of the ignorant ne
gro vote should be eliminated is made
clear.
He is decidedly specific, however, in
his declaration that, the distinction
should not be of race color, and that
it should not be based on a property
qualification that would eliminate a
man for lack of this world’s goods.
Virtue and intelligence—good citizen
ship—that should be the test. It is
understood that several bills looking
to such an amendment to tho consti
tution have been prepared by members
of the legislature, and this franchise
matter promises to become one of the
most interesting before the general as
sembly.
Tax Commission Upheld.
Governor Candler naturally devotes
considerable space in his message to
the necessity for lightening the bur
dens of taxation wherever it is possi
ble, and for economy in the expendi
ture of the people’s money. That was
one of the chief planks on which he
made his campaign, and his whole re
cord has borne out his professions in
this regard. He will tell of the
work, of the tax commission, whose
report will be presented during the
early days of the legislature’s session,
and will commend the whole subject
to the careful consideration of the
state’s lawmakers.
With regard to the publio schools of
the state, Governor Candler will urge
that they should, be more closely re
stricted to the elementary branches,
as is contemplated by the constitution
and in the acts establishing the publio
school system. He thinks there has
been too much of a tendency toward
higher branches; and this, he thinks,
is a perversion of the intent of the
public school system, and one that
does grave injustice to the people who
are really meant to be benefited by the
public schools. will be
Crime and mob violence
dwelt on at some length. The gov
ernor points out the expense of the
administration of the criminal laws in
the state, showing that the cost is
more than half a million dollars for
meting out justice to the negroes
alone. He points out the injustice of
charging the acts of the criminal class
against the race, and tells of the many
leading negroes who are as law-abiding
as the whites, and who join them in
condemnation not only of mob vio
lence, but of the terrible crimes that
have incited such violence.
At the suggestion of very many me
chanics and artisans throughout the
state, Governor Candler will recom
mend the establishment of a bureau
of labor statistics as a part of the ag
ricultural department. Most of the
states of the union have such depart
ments, and the statistics they gather
have proven of great value in many
ways.
MACON COMMITTEE SUCCESSFUL.
Admiral Dewey Fromlsen to Visit Central
City at JEarJy Date.
A Washington dispatch says: Ad
miral Dewey received a call Thursday
from a delegation from Macon, Ga.,
headed by Representative Bartlett and
President Smith, of the Macon cham
ber of commerce, who presented an
invitation to him to visit Macon. Ad
miral Dewey expressed his thanks and
said that while he regretted that
he could not make the visit at the
time of his trip to Atlanta, yet
he expected to go south during the
winter or early spring, and at that
time he would visit Macon and Savan
nah.

FLANNAfiAN MAKES BREAK.
riuIti-Murderer Attempts to Es
cape From the Jail at Deca
tur, Georgia.
An Atlanta dispatch says: The a'
most forgotten Edward C. Flannagnn,
the donblo murderer aud the mau
around whom has clustered Bensatiou
after Rensation, created a thrilling
scene in the DoKalb county jail at De
catur, Ga., Saturday morning by at
tempting to escape with the jailer’s lit
tle child in his arms.
Since the murderer’s last trial,when
tho judge remo lded him to prinon in
definitely upon the testimony of phy
sioiaus that he was a mental wreck,
Flanagan has remained quietly in jail,
one of the most abject specimens of
physical decay, and of late he has been
almost entirely forgotten.
In his little cell at the DeKalb
county prison he has lived for months,
an imbecile, and it has been a conjec
ture kovr long it would be before he
would die iu prison.
He has been quiet and inoffensive
and the jailers have ceased to regard
him as dangerous. His attempt Sat
urday to escape was wholly unlooked
for, and was a surprise to those whose
duty it has been to guard him.
Early iu the morning Sheriff' Talley
sent Pillard, a negro guard, to Flana
gan’s cell with the prisoner’s break
fast. The sheriff's little child accom
eompanied the negro guard.
Pillard opened the door of Flana
gan’s cell and handed him the plate
containing the brenkfast. The pris
oner seemed to be in his usual apa
thetic condition, although he eyed the
little child closely. Mechanically Flan
agan picked up the knife lying in the
plate, and started to eat his breakfast.
With a sudden bound tbe murderer
sprang forward, seized the child in his
arms, and still holding the knife he
had taken from his plate, he leaped
through the cell door and darted down
the stairway leading to the sheriff’s
office.
The door opening from the prison
to the jail yard was locked, and the
only way for Flanagan to get out was
through tho private apartments of the
sheriff, where the latter resides with
his family.
Tho sheriff and his wife heard the
noise ss Flanagan ran down the stair
way and they were ready to intercept
him when lie made his appearance in
the jail office.
Sheriff Talley grappled with the
murderer and threw him to the floor.
Mrs. Talley caught np her child and
took the little one from the arms of
the prisoner. The child was unhurt.
The negro guard had quickly follow
ed Flaaagan clown the stairway and
was just in time to assist the sheriff
iu holding the prisoner to the floor
while the knife was wrenched from
his band. Flanagan was then ordered
back t* his cell at the point of a
pistol.
There was much method in Flana
gan’s madness. Ho evidently took
tho child np in his arms when he at
tempted to escape in .order to keep the
sheriff from shooting at him, well
knowing that the sheriff would rather
see him get away than run the risk of
killing his own child. The knife was
also probably tak^n from the plate for
the purpose of intimidating any one
who should try to intercept him in his
flight.
FUNSTON RETURNS TO MANILA.
Is Given s Brigadier’s Command in the
Philippines.
General Frederick Fnnston, who is

partment offering him a brigadier’s

out. General Funston accepted the
offer.
General Funston will return to Kan
sas with the Kansas volunteers, who
will be mustered out October 28th.
Ha then will report at Washington for

PERISHED IN BLIZZARD.
Sheep Eat Away a Head Han’i Beard,
Boot* and Clothing In Montana.
Advices from Great Falls, Mont.,
state that nine men perished in the
recent blizzard. Five bodies have
been recovered and it is probable that
this is not half the list. The last body
found was that of H. Harold, a sheep
border. Tbe sheep had eaten off his
beard, clothing and part of hia boots.
IOWA TROOPS ARRIVE.

m er> m m
Dawoy’s Southern Trip la Sud
denly Canceled.
NERVOUS PROSTRATION THE CAUSE.
Atlmlrnl'fl PhyMiclnii* Forbid Acceptttnee
of Invitation* of Various
Cities.
A Washington special says: ‘‘Acting
on the advice of his physicians, Admiral
Dewey finds that it will be necessary
to cancel the engagements he has
entered into to visit certain cities and
to decline all invitations for the pres
ent. He finds that the mental strain
incident to such visits is seriously af
fecting his health.”
This is the substance of an author
ized statement given to the press by
Lieutenant Caldwell, private secretary
to the admiral. Lieutenant Caldwell
added that the admiral has keen in a
nervous state for several days past,
and his friends were very anxious
about him. Under tho circumstances,
his engagements to go to Atlanta, Chi
cago,Philadelphia and other cities are
all declared off.
Early Saturday morning Admiral
Dewey authorized a telegram to this
effect to be sent to Atlanta, at the
same time expressing his sincere re
gret that his physical condition forces
him to be absent from the Brumby
celebration. The dispatch aLo con
tained the assurance that Lieutenant
Brumby would proceed to Atlanta
alone, according to the original pro
gramme.
An effort was made to induce Rear
Admiral Schley to take the place of
Dewey in the eomiug festivities at At
lanta, but the hero of Santiago was
obliged to decline, as ho is now sub
ject to orders from the secretary of
the navy.
Mr. Brown, general agent of the
Southern railway, was also notified of
the admiral’s change of plans, and the
result was lively telegraphing between
Washington and Atlanta during the
remainder of the day.
It would be difficult to express in
cold type the full extent of the disap
pointment felt in Atlanta when it was
announced that Dewey had cancelled
his engagement to visit that city.
WRIT WAS DISMISSED.
Judge LaCi.mIi. Turns Down Application
of Carter’s Attorney.

which upholds the findings of the

penitentiary, but will await the out

ter will be to the court of appeals and
