Bays Mrs. Myrlck In the Amerlcus
Times- Reorder: “ Evelyn Nesblt has
now terrified New York by declaring
that she Intends to lay bare everything.
Well, we hope they wilt keep the
camera men out, anyway.’
The friends of Hoke Smith have
made a thorough canvass of Upson
county and could only find 443 voters
In their favor, with 730 against him.
Yet this Is on© of the counties they
claim as most solid for him.
The Athens Banner offers this hope,
whieh Is probably well grounded:
“Chairman Watson, of the State Dem¬
ocratic convention of Georgia.
Wouldn’t that sound fine to Demo¬
crats of this Btate ? Well.lt will not
happen, for McDuffie county Is no»
going for Hoke.”
A Charlestonian, In Colletoa county,
South Carolina, who is planting truck
on lands formerly devoted to rice oul
ture, has netted a profit of*14,000 on 36
acres of land planted In potatoes. The
average production per acre was a few
barrels more than 100. They sold for
$6 per barrel, or a total of $17,000. They
cost fl a barrel to put on the market
or $3,600.
There fs a sneaking Idea with many
people that the injunction “this side
up” on an express package la so much
resented by the carriers that they love
to place that side down if possible and
bump the package as much as they
can. Buch people will be glad to learn
that the injunction has been held In a
New York court to be clearly within
ghe rights of the shipper, and further¬
more that It must be obeyed. A party
who thus enjoined caution with
package In which were some electric
batteries had his property ruined by
the crates being turned bottom side up.
He has recovered judgment for their
value.
A PAIR OF GEORGIA REF0BMERS.
There has been a great deal of talk
Id thU campaign about the watered
stock of the* railroads, and Editor
Pendleton, of the Macon Telegraph,
In his latest card “To Whom It May
Concern,” calls attention to the fact
that there are others. He says:
“But speaking of ‘water’ in stock:
A candidate for governor has charged
on a hundred stumps In Georgia that
Watson’s Atlanta mouthpiece has
been doing a few high financiering
stunts in the watering business, to-
wit: That the Atlanta Journal has
capitalized itself at $750,000 and re¬
turns itself to the tn v assdSsors at
$75,000! There, good voter, honest
taxpayer, you get a whiff of the ‘dew’
that ‘coversGeorgia.’ After all it Is
water—common water.
“And Mr. Watson, when the
grand jury of McDuffie county direct¬
ed the tax assessor to raise his returns
a few beans, and the faithful official
obeyed orders—an old and highly re¬
spectable gentleman nearly 80 years
old—Watson insulted him on the
streets of Thomson and threatened to
kick him off the sidewalk!
“There you are—a pair of Georgia
reformers, brass-mounted and copper-
lined.”
A CANDIDATE FOR RAILROAD 00M-
M SSI0NIB
Hon. Thomas C. Crenshaw, of Can¬
ton, who was appointed as a member
of the railroad commission by Gov¬
ernor W. Y. Atkinson in 1895 and
who served in that capacity lor six
years, will be a candidate lor the
same office to succeed Commissioner'
Joseph E. Brown, whose term ex¬
pires October 15,1905.
During his term of service as a rail-
road commissioner under Governor
Atkinson, Mr. Crenshaw served tor
a number of years as chairman of
the commission and is thus thor
oughly conversant with the duties in¬
cumbent upon a member of that
body.
The art making the railroad com-
mhslsoners elective by the people
will go into effect as soon as the sen¬
ate concurs with the action of the
lower house. There is little doubt
toe measure being passed, since both
houses of the general assembly
gone on record as favoring toe
■\_
of putting the election of the railroad
commissioners In the band* of the
people. time
Mr. \r»* Crenshaw i was at one a
resident of Griffin and his friends
here will sympathiM 1 In his present
aspirations.
TOE COURT OF APPEALS-
Judge W. R. Hammond, Judge
Howard Vau Eppe and Ben Hill,
prominent Atlanta attorneys, are out
jor place on the court of appeals, cre¬
ated a few'days ago by the legislature,
but which must be ratified by the
voters of Georgia as a constitutional
amendment before It is created.
These three, in the opinion of Atlan¬
ta, which couldn’t be satisfied with¬
out two candidates for governor)
could fill the bench nicely without
the rest of the Btate disturbing itself
about the matter.
But Thomas J. Chappell, of Colum
bus, and O. H. P. Bloodworth, of
Forsyth, are also in the race.
Judge Hammond was at one time
Judge of the Fulton superior court.
Judge Van Epps is author of several
legal works and Vann Epp’s Digest.
Ben Hill Is a son of the late United
States Senator Hill, and a brother of
Solicitor General Charlie Hill of Ful¬
ton county superior court. Mr.
Bloodworth Is at present solicitor gen¬
eral of the Flint superior court dr
cult. Mr. Chappell Is a prominent
lawyer in Columbus.
State Senator Reid is urged by his
friends to become a candidate and
there will doubtless be plenty of oth
ers.\ The court Is to be composed of
threfc judges, who are to draw' an an¬
nual salary of $4,000 each.
There has been some talk of' the
Btate convention already called nomi¬
nating the candidates, but the objec¬
tion is raised to that that the
defeated aspirants would use their
Influence to defeat the amendment
before the people.

SHIP GOES DOWN;
( 300 PEOPLE DROWN
Admitting That it Waa His
Fault* Captain Suicides.
OROWOKO WITH EMIGRANTS
Italian*, With Knivee In Their Hand*
and Without Regard to Women or
Children, Fought for l»oa#***ion of
the Lifeboat*.
Cartagena, Spain, Aug. A. terrible
diaaater occurred Saturday af¬
ternoon off the Cape Palos.
Th* Italian steamship Slrlo, from
Genoa for Barcelona, Cadis, Monteve-
dao and Bueno* Ayrea, with about 800
parsons on board, was wracked off
Hormlgaa island.
Three hundred emigrant*, most of
them Italian* and Spaniards, were
drowned.
The captain of the steamer commit¬
ted suicide.
The bishop of San Pedro, Brasil,
was also lost, and It is reported that
another bishop Is among the missing.
The remainder of the passengers
and the officers and crew got away tn
th* ahip’a boat# or were rescued by
means of boat# sent to them from the
shore.
A number of fishermen, who made
attempts at rescue, were Jrowned.
Those rescued from the vessel are
now at Cape Palos In a pitiable con¬
dition, being without food or raiment.
The Slrlo struck a reeky reef known
.as Bajos Hormlgaa and sank soon
after, stern first. Hormlgaa island
lies about 2% miles to the eastward
of Cape Palos.
The Slrlo was owned by the Navi-
gaoizne Italians of Genoa.
Before he committed suicide, the
captain declared the steamer had B45
passenger* on board and that her crew
cumbered 127 men. The Slrlo had
670 passengers when leaving Genoa
but additional Spanish passengers
were taken on board at Barcelona,
where the vessel touched a few hours
before the disaster.
The disaster occurred at 6 o’clock'
In the afternoon. The steamer was
threading a difficult passage through
the Hormlgas group, where the Bajos
Hormlgas reef as a continual menace
to navlgatfon.
Th# vessel began to settle rapidly
Immediately after she had struck, and
a terrible scene of confusion and pan¬
ic enaued on board. The fishermen
along the coast sought to render every
assistance In their power and sent out
boats, which brought many survivors
ashore. Most of the officers and crew
of the Slrlo are among the saved.
The survivors have gone Into a
camp ou the main square of the town
at Cape Palos. Here harrowing
Beenes are enacted as the stricken
families anxiously seek beloved mem¬
bers among the rescued.
A mother, who lost her three chil¬
dren, went Insane. The doctor of
the Slrlo gave up his wife and chfld
as lost, but they were finally brought
in by one of the rescuing boats, and
the scene as this family was reunited
was most affecting.
One of the boats sent out by the
fishermen brought In 24 passengers.
The condition of the survivors Is
most deplorable. They have lost
everything and are without money,
food or clothing. The maritime au
thorltle* of Cartagena have dispatched
a tug to the scene carrying relife sup¬
plies. The buildings of a circus and
the poorhouse are being used as tem¬
porary quarters for the survivors.
The latest reports from the cape say
that three boats have just brought In
a number of rescued. An additional
sadness is added to the catastrophe
owing to the fact that a number of
fishermen, who were conducting res¬
cuing operations/ were drowned in
consequence of the overturning of
boat.
The captain of the Slrlo, just before
he killed himself, attributed the dis¬
aster to his own imprudence.
The Slrlo left Genoa on Aug. 2.

Jacks a Record.
One of our ex-Popullsto,
who te now a member in
good standing of the good
old Democratic party, met
ye scribe on the streets the
other day and said, “Hurrah
for Hoke Smith and Tom
Watson.” We said, “but
what about the State of
Georgia?” and his answer
waa: “D—d Georgia.” We
think toil friend of ours
might be called a Democrat
protein. We are not censur-
ino our ueighbor for his atti¬
tude, but how an old-time
Democrat, who has always
been a Democrat, can in¬
dorse this combination, with
the pert remark that “ail of
them want all of the votes
they can get,” is one of the
wonders of the world.
FORM LAUNDRY TRUST
Thirty-five Celestials, It Is Understood
Will Raise Price* for “Washes"
Atlanta, Aug. 6.—For the first time
tn the history of Atlanta a Celestial
trust has been formed In the city.
Maddened with the ever-present
craze for money. It Is stated that 35
Chinamen, owner* of as many laun¬
dries, have formed a combine with a
view to raising price*, the new sched¬
ule.. becoming effective during the
present week. While »everal rea¬
sons for the combination are announc¬
ed, such as the hire of negro help and
the like, presumably th# main object
Is to get rich quicker.
Every Chinaman look forward to
the time when, by stinting and starv¬
ing, he will have saved enough to re¬
turn to th# Flowery Kingdom for
gome little olive-eyed maiden waiting
there for him. Under the present
system of laundry prices It requires
long years of waiting. Why not has¬
ten the time by conforming to one of
the ’Melican man’s most common ous-
toms and organize a trust?
Thug It Is that a new scale of price#
will. jSjj into effect during this week.
Instead of 1V4 cents apiece, collars are
now 2 ceftts, cuffs 3 cents a pair, and
so on through the list of “washee.”
The result of the Chinamen’s ac¬
tion cannot be foretold. There may
be an onrush upon the larger laundry
establishments. ^ Yet the Increase as
announced by the former is slight and
It is possible that there will he no
falling off in their trade.
One thing is certain. If many Chi¬
namen find it Impossible to satisfac¬
torily explain the oncrease in prices
to their negro suctomers, the number
-'of “police” calls will be greatly in¬
creased.
Proceedings Temporarily Stopped.
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 8.—The su¬
preme court of Alabama will proba¬
bly determine whether or not Judge
Samuel L. Weaver, of Jefferson coun¬
ty has jurisdiction over the body of
John Williams, the man tried and con¬

ster, last Sunday night, died of hem-
morrhages, caused by the bullet woufid
