real and personal property, as made to
the county tax receivers, is more than
$2,000,009 larger than the increase ia
I9a0 over the returns of 1899.
In 1900 tite increase in tax returns
over those of the year before was $15,
227,330, or $1,259,857 less than the in
crease shown this year.
The total value of the property iu
Georgia, exclusive of railroads, tele
graph, telephone and express companies,
is now more than $400,000,000. Tue to
tal returns for 1300 were $388,154,413,
while this year they run up to $405,-
641,606.

White 31 an Throttles His
3iulatto Paramour.
Atlanta, Aug. 14.—With only the
j clutch of liis steel-like fingers for a
; weapon, a white man choked a negro
woman to death last night at 13 Horton
street.
The remarkable crime is believed to
have been committed by Henry Lyle, a
white man, who is said to be connected
with one of the most respectable fam
ilies of Athens, and his victim was
Maggie Rogers, aged 20, and the daugh
ter of Lulu Rogers, a mulatto woman,
well known in the city.
The only eye witness to the crime so
far found by the police is the woman’s
mother, and she states positively that
Henry Lyie is the slayer.
Lula Rogers stated to the police that
three nights ago Lyle told Maggie he
would kill her if she did not go away
with him. Last night, states the wit
ness, ne came to the house and calied
her into the yard and there he felled her
to the earth ana with his fingers closed
tightly about her throat he slowly
choked her to death. The grip about
the throat prevented the woman from
making any outcry.
No one saw Maggie Rogers go into
the yard, ana no one saw the man when
he came to the house. Lulu Rogers
heard a noise in the backyard, and she
says site reached the yard iu time to see
the man choking her daughter to
death. The mother screamed, and the
mau arose suddenly and fled iu the
darkness. He left a corpse behind him.
The police were quickly notified, and
a diiigent search was made for the wo
man’s slayer, but he was not round.

Southern Associations 3!ay Hold Next
Convention in That City.
Savannah, Aug. 14.—The bankers of '
Georgia, South Carolina, North Caro
lina and Virginia will probably meet in
Savannah next summer. The Savan
nah Clearing association has, by nuani- j
mons action, requested the executive
committee of the Georgia Bankers’ as- j
sociatiou to call the meeting of that ,
body for next summer in this city. H. j
A Crane, vice president of the South- i
ern bank, is chairmau of the executive l
committee, a meeting of which will be j
held in Savannah soon for the consid- ;
eration of the invitation from the Clear- j
ing association. Each of the associa- j
tions of the other states has advised that '
it would be glad to combine with the
others for a general meeting at Savan- ;
nail.
President Mills B. Lane of the Citi- ■
zens’ bank says that a consolidated j
meeting of the four associations would
mean a gathering of nearly 1,000 bank
ers at Savannah. Mr. Lane thinks there
is no doubt that the executive commit
tee of the Georgia association will act
favorably upon the ^invitation from Sa-.
vannaii and that this place will be se
lected for the meeting.
Everyone has the greatest possible ad
miration for the mau who dares. There
are thousands of people in the world to
day who are bending their best thought
to the matter of inventing some new
means for death-begging exnibitious.
The question is not as to who will
risk their lives; there are thousands
awaiting an opportunity. The only
question involved is one of method; for
the public demands more than a mere
exnibitiou of brutal recklessness; there
must be grace as well.
So the mau, or woman, who perfects
some act of great daring, combined with
ease, or, mor9 properly speaking, appa
rent ease of performance, is the indi
vidual whom every one applauds. The
act must entail risk of life and limb, bur
this risk must bo assumed with appa
rent carelessness. The actor must defy
all natural laws, aucl laugh at fate; for
the public demands a smiling face.
There is probably no one man in the
United States who has devised so many
daring enterprises as Charles G. Kiipat
rick. He was first heard of by reason
of his successful attempt to ride down
the steps of the capitol at Washington,
on a bicycle. This marvelous feat Kil
patrick accomplished successfully, and,
by reason of the same, became famous.
Since that time Mr. Kilpatrick has in
vented and performed dozens of marvel
ous feats.
None so daring, however, ns his fa
mous automobile ride down an inclined
plane. This marvelous feat was per
formed for two mouths at Madison
Square Garden ana excited the wonder
and admiration of ail New York. The ;
press and public were unanimous i:i !
saying that it was the most marvelou:
and astonishing feat ever performed by
a human being.
Mr. Kilpatrick will perform his great
automobile act at the Southern Inter
State Fair, to be held in Atlanta rhi
fall, and the Southern public will have
an opportunity of witnessing the mo
sensational act ever performed in the
United Stares, or Europe.
For Some
They Have Been Operalin
1 ime'at Eatonton.
Eatonton, Ga.. Aug. 19.—For some
time the merchants of this place have
been missing articles of merchandise,
for the disappearance of which they
could not satisfactorily account.
On Friday strong suspicion pointed to
certain parties, ail negroes, and a gang
of five was arrested and locked up.
Their names are Aaron Jefferson, John
Jefferson. Will Jefferson, Mike Jeffer
son and Jake Chaney. Warrants were
sworn cut by J. P. Wilson, a merchant
of this place. Others are under sus
picion and being watched, but their
names are suppressed.
A search by the officers brought to
light quantities of goods, such as cloth
ing, nats, shoes, suspenders, cigars,
knives and other stuff, the most of
which has been identified by local mer
chants. However, some of it is still un
claimed, indicating, possibly, other
fields of operation. Aaron operated a
smali negro restaurant where some of
the goods was found and where, very
likely, most ol their plans were laid.

Mobile, Aug. 19.—The Louisville and

of business between this city and New
Orleans, was put in condition yesterday,
the first train from New Orleans arriv
ing in Mobile during the day.
Several linemen who have been work
ing below came into Mobile last night
They say that the water in the Tensas
swamp, through which the Louisville
and Nashville runs, completely demoral
ized the wild animals which have their
haunts in that wild waste. Many deer
came upon the railroad rrack to escape
the flood and the linemen caught one
which was so exhausted by swimming
that it was unable to get away. A big
black bear also came out of the swamp,
but was not captured.

of Brantley’s brother.
More trouble is looked for, as Fusseil
