Georgia Building Site Seleoted.
Chairman W. N. Mitchell, of the
Jamestown commission, who has just
returned from a trip east, during
which he visited the site of the com
ing exposition, said that he had
selected while there the site for the
proposed Georgia building. It faces
Hampton Roads, just opposite Fort
ress Mc-m-oc, and Is said to bo one
of the finest building sites on the
grounds. The Georgia building will
not be built from the $30,000 fund
eppropriated by the legislature, but a
special fund will have to be raised
for the purpose, as was done in the
case of the St.. Louis exposition.
River Waters to Be Analyzed.
The growing importance of the In
vestigation made by the hydrographic
branch of the United States geological
survey in the south states has made
It necessary to equip a branch labora
tory that will be devoted exclusively
to the work in Georgia, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, North
and South Carolina and Florida. The
desirability of a central location re
sulted in the selection of the seat
of the University of Georgia—Athens.
That institution proffered the use of
one of its laboratories and the geologi
cal survey has installed Its equipment
therein.

Decision on School Tax Act.
According to an opinion rendered
Comptroller General Wlright by Attor
ney General Hart, the provisions of
the revised McMlchael school tax act
are not operative until next year, in
so far as the school districts are
concerned.
He holds, hew ever, that under tha
old act the taxeß In flic counties are
collectable this year. The recent
amendment paused expressly states
that the provisions are not effective
until January, 1907. Judge Hart holds
that this will probably prevent the
collection of special school levies in
districts, but where the entire county
has passed upon it that the tax can
be collected.

To Reward Heroic Service.
At the meeting of the prison com
mission on October 9 the commission
will, it is stated, pass an order recog
nizing the heroic services of three
negro life convicts now at the peni
tentiary camp at Mllltown, In Berrien
couney, who recently rescued their
guard from certain death beneath the
overturned tender of a tramway log
train, secured Ills pistol and watch and
turned them over to the engineer and
then carried the wourded guard hack
to the camp hospital.
The commission cannot, of course,
pardon these convicts, hut It can re
duce their Imprisonment from life to
a term of years, and this. It is stated,
will be done.

Respite Refused Rawlings.
Governor Terrell has refused to
grant another respite to J. G. Rawlings
and Ills two sons, Jesse and Milton,
who were recently re-sentenced to he
hanged on Friday, October 6, for the
murder of the Carter children in
Lowndes county Attorney Cooper,
who Is representing Rawlings and his
sons, asked the governor to grant
this respite on the ground that, an
appeal had again been taken to the
supreme court of the United State,
from the action of the state suprem •
court In refuting to grant anew trial
upon in *triwrilnry motion,'
Thf io is no doubt about the fact
that this second appeal to the Wash
ington court was taken merely for the
purpose of securing delay, and the
governor has declined to Interfere fur
ther. The only course left is to se
cure a writ of supersedeas from the
supreme court of Georgia, from which
the appeal was taken, or an order
from the United States supreme court,
holding up the execution until Its de
cision shall have been rendered.

Damage Being Done.
Incalculable harm Is being done veg
etation anil forestry of Gilmer and Fan
nin counties by the poisonous gases
that are dally, hourly discharged by
tho Ducktown copper furnaces, locat
ed just across the state line la Ten
nessee, and unless the United States
supreme court enjoins the operation of
the copper smelters from further oper
ation along prepent, lines the citizens
of these counties will be ruined and
the land devastated.
The special committee, beaded by
Commissioner of Agriculture Thomas
G. Hudson, to which was referred the
matter of investigating the damage,
spent A day the past week In Gilmer
and Fannin coutieg.
The committeemen have been Cot)-
vinced by their investigation that the
vegetation and forestry of the coun
ties mentioned is being Injured to an
til arming extent, and they will so state
In their report which will be submit
ted to the attorney general for his
use in the hearing of the case now
pending In the United States supreme
court.

Trustees Named by Governor.
Governor Terrell has-completed the
appointment of 145 trustees for the
new state Industrial and agricultural
schools or colleges which will be es
tablished in each congressional dis
trict in the state under an act passed
at the last session of the general as
sembly.
It has boe'n a tremendous task to
select, all of these trustees. The law
required the appointment of one trus
tee from each county, the board In
each district to ho composed of as
many trustees as there are counties
in the district.
Tlie next step in the establishment
of these agricultural colleges will be
tho advertisement for bids for location.
Already fifty or more bids have
been received, in some districts six or
eight counties having made tlietr of
fers. Under the terms of the act the
county securing the college must give
not less than 200 acres of land and
the necessary college buildings, so
that the state will ho required to
make appropriations only for mainte
nance.

Promiscuously on the
Streets —Mob Ruled
Four Hours —Mili-
- jb. tary Called Out.
A race riot occurred in Atlanta Sat
urday night and it was one of tho
most torrlble since the days of recon
struction. Tho causes that led up to
It were the recent criminal assaults
made by negroes on defenseless white
women.
For months past tnere lias been on
an average of on woman assaulted a
wcok. The climax came Saturday af
ternoon when it was reported that
there were four white women who had
been attacked at their homes by ne
groes. The news given in extras by
the afternoon papers inflamed the peo
ple beyond endurance.
Tko rioting started at 9 o’clock at
the corner of Pryor and Decatur
streets.
Thousands of white mon, with their
passions inflamed, gathered in tho
business center of the city, and for
four hours mobs chased negroes,
stoned and shot them to death, and
boarded trolley cars, snatching off ne
groes and beat them to death with
clubs and sticks.
The fire department was called out
In the midst of the torrlble excite
ment by order of the mayor, and by
streams of water tried to disperse the
mobs. This had a good effect only
for a few minutes, for the mobß quick
ly reorganized, and on other streets
began to shoot and stone negroes.
Rushes were made upon tho hard
ware stores for pistols, but these were
closed, and the supply of ammunition
was not Increased. The saloons were
closed, and In fact every place of
business had closed doors long be
fore the usual hour.
At, one time a number of trolley
ears had to bo rushed out of the
city with dead and dying negroes and
policemen upon them.
All the while the air was filled
with cries of "Kill them!” "Shoot
them!” Lynch theml” "Down with
the negroes who attack and assault
our womeji! ”
A number of mon paraded tho
streets holding aloft extra editions of
the afternoon papers whereon were
large type lines displaying assaults
negroes had made on white women.
In some streets the air was filled
with the reports of. pistols, and the
shouts of enraged men who seemed
inure like wild beasts than humun
beings.
Tho scenes on the incoming trol
ley cars were the most fearful of all.
’No sooner would a trolley car reach
the center of the city than it would
he eagerly scanned for negroes, and
If one was seen on the car It was
Immediately bearded and a rush made
for the blacks.
Property was destroyed by the mob
In the demolishing "Ia Greek’s stand
and tho smashing of a large number
of plate glass windows on soveral of
the business streets. The saloon of
Campbell & Poole, on Broad stroet,
and the store of the Pearson Hard
ware Company, at, Walksr and Peters
streets, were broken open and tho
stocks demolished.
All the state troops available In
the city were called out and the olty
placed partially under martial law un
til order was restored.
The entire police force was placed
on duty and all tho winchesters of the
MARINES LANDED in HAVANA.

tclal of 3i> cars waiting to transport

ncss to resist an attack on the city,
and to be ready to protect American

department were in use. Many pollco
men paraded the streets armed with
rifles.
Every negro, no matter what his em
ployment, quickly sought cover and
got out of sight. Even the cabs were
deserted on the streets. Finding no
more victims In sight the mobs quiet
ed down.
Although there have been several
reports as to the dead, the only au
thentic ncwS that could be obtained
was a list of slrf dead negroes, four
of which were taken to tho undertak
ing establishment of L. L. Lee, 38
South Broad street, Sundajf morning.
It was stated on reliable Information
that some bodies had been slipped out
of the city for burial.
There were several cases of firing
into street curs late In the night, sup
posedly by negroes who were hidden
from view 1 . Window glasses were
broken by shots, but no one was hit
Over forty mon and boys were ar
rested and held at police barracks for
Inciting to riot.
In Control of State Troops.
Sunday the city was In practical
control of the state troops, though
not under martial law.
The nine Atlanta companies, seven
of the Fifth regiment, the Govern
or’s Horse Guard and the Governor's
Light Artillery, who were out all day,
were supplemented in the afternoon
by tho arrival of four ontsido com
panies and still four more reachod
the city Sunday night.
With these seventeen companies
there were 600 state troops patrolling
the streets and outskirts of Atlanta.
These troops were scattered all
over the city Sunday night under or
ders from Governor Terrell, and ev
ery street was patrolled, particularly
about the outskirts of the city.
All day long crowds of people
thronged the streets, watching with cu
riosity the movement of tho soldiers
unil eager to learn unytliing new
that might havo occurred. Only a
few stray negroes were to be seen on
(be streets, and these were such as
had not caught onto the situation or
wanted to show their bravado. On
lho trolley cars not a negro was to be
HPen all day. They did not seem to
think that the trolley cars were
healthy places for them, and If they
went out, they preferred to walk.
Saturday night wfiat seemed au
thentic reports placed the number of
negroes killed In the city at sixteen.
Sunday the list oT dead was only six.
This discrepancy couhl not be account
ed for until tho police were notified
that bodies of dead negroes had been
taken from the city.
Cause of the Outbreak. j
There were four separate attempto
at assault In Atlanta and vicinity
Saturday. The first happened about 2
o’clock In the afternoon at the homo
of Mrs. W. H. Chaffin near tho Sol

caster, on his step daughter. Miss
Alma Allen, 182 Davis street, about
9:30 o’clock. The fourth was an at
