Ga., Dec. ll-War- ren Bailey, young aon of W. G. Bailey, shot lind killed Rev. G. Forrest Tut tle this morning at 7 o'clock.

WASHINGTON, Ga., Dec. 11.—A dispute over a negro laborer who had deserted him resulted In the 'death of Rev. Mr. G. F. Tuttle this morning at 7 o'clock, five miles east of Wash ington. He was shot through, the heart by a young man named Bailey, with whom tho negro had begun to work, after leaving Tuttle's plantation.

Young Bailey was unconscious for several hours after tho shooting and It was thought he -would dlo, but is reported to. bo better this afternoon. No arrest has been made.

MUNI SAYS E Has Had No Change of Heart Toward Corporate Prop erty. ATLANTA. Ga., Dee. 11.—Governor Hoke Smith denies that the resolution he reported as chairman of the com mittee on resolutions to the Southern Commercial Congress In Washington Tuesday. In which agitation against corporate property waa deprecated and condemned, mteans any change of heart on his part or any change of policy during tho unexplrcd portion of his administration. On his return from Washington to day ho gave out a statement praising tho work of the congress. He stated that In the committee of which he was chairman there- was a sentiment In favor of reporting a resolution spe cifically condemning the attitude of the legislature* of several southern states, Georgia among them, towards railroad Interests. On behalf of this state he opposed the proposition, on the ground JthAt all the legislation In Georgia had been wise, conservative and constructive, tending toward the protection of capital as well as for the safeguarding of the public. The Governor’s Statement The governor's statement is as fol lows; "I see some special reference has been made to that part of the presen tation which bears upon the railroads and other corporations. My position before the committee was and Is now. that the legislation which has been passed In Georgia during the present administration has been conservative and constructive, and no one familiar with the facts can successfully tend to the contrary." Tho resolution reported to the com mercial congress by Governor Smith and the fact that he roported it has been the leading.subject of discussion among politicians hero this week. Many took It to mean a dlrert whlft of policy on the chief executive* part: The resolution was as follows: The Resolution. "RAllroad construction In the south has been extensive, but the rapid com mercial growth of that section requires an enormous increase In the railroad facilities to transport to market its many •hi.! vail..i i>i.u.-t*. The construction of such adequate facilities can be ac complished only by assuring tho holde/s of capital that such 'enterprises will bo safe-guarded hy conservative and con structive legislation, and we urge upon our southern legislators tho wisdom of such a policy and condemn any agitation leading to the. contrary. We favor r spirit of eo-operatlon between the peo ple and the railroads and other corpo rate interests, to the end that the . re quired confidence of Investors may bo established In ths securities of the — pomtlons of the south." This expression Is almost exactly like the plank dealing with tho same ques tion in tho recently adopted state demo cratic platform. . Pension Checks Mailed. ATLANTA.
