THE TWICE-A-WEEK TEEEGRAPBA.
WYNNE MEETS
TRAGIC DEATH
HE WAS STANDING ON RUNNING
BOARD WHEN TENDER LEFT
RAILS OF NEWLY LAID
TRACK
C. E Wynee, foreman of the work
ing gang of the HRlI-Parl:er Con-
tr;- ting Company, met a tragic death
last night at 10:30 o'clock, a hen the
tender attached to an engine, upon
whose running hoard he r.as -landing,
suddenly left the rails of a newly lair
track, throwing hint In Its path and
crushing him almost beyond reeognl
tlon.
There were no eye witnesses to th*-
accident, but It is stated by workmen
present that Wynne had taken h>
pioee upon the running board of tin
tender for the purpose of riding down
the trac kto give instructions to' some
workmen. The track was very rough
not being sufficiently timbered, and l>
Is thought that this was the cause of
the tender lealvng the track. The en
gine was running at a very slow rate
of speed ar.d the shout uttered from
the lips of the dying man'caused the
engineer to bring the engine to a quick
halt.
As soon as possible the body wot
extricated from beneath the tender,
an dfrom the horrible condition lr
which It was discovered. It is evident
that Wynne’s life was crushed out in
stantly.
The body was brought to the Ba>
street crossing later, where it was
taken in charge by Undertaker Jesse
n. Hart and borne to his establish
ment on Mulberry street.
Wynne was 16 years old. and was
for many years s conductor In the
service of the Central, his servicer
having been loaned the flall-Parker
company only recently. He lived at
the corner of Arch and First streets
where he leaves a wife.
The funeral arrangements will lie
announced later.

HARLAN SAYS HATE
HAS NO SANCTITY
UNLESS II IS JUSI
WASHINGTON. July 11.—In an opinio;
hanJcd down today for the Interstat<
Commerce Commission by Commission?
Harlan, the rule Is laid down that while
» rate fixed by State statutes f>r a State
tnmmlesinn "Is naturally and properly en
titled to respectful consideration. It haf
no greater sanctity, rr applied to inte*
state traffic than a rate established hv :
railroad company, and this commission
would not hesitate, upon proper evidencf
that a rate so established would be un
just. either to a carrier op to a shipper,
to refuse to accept It as a basis for Ax
ing an Insterstate rate."
The opinion In which tile foregniny
announcement was made, was In the cas.
of the Hope Cotton Oil Company against
the Texas and Pacific Railway Company
and the SI. I/Ouis. Iron Mountain am’
Southern Railway Company. The com
plaint alleged that a joint through ratr
of 67 cents per hundred pounds on cotton
seed In earlolads, charged by defendant?
from points north of Sherveporl via Tex
arkana to Hope. Ark., was unreasonable
and discriminatory, and that 17 5-K
cents per hundred pounds would be a fnit
rate. After the complaint was filed th<
defendants put into effect a Joint throng!
rate of 30 cents per hundred pounds.
The commission holds that the SO-cent
rnte is unreasonable, nnd that it should
net exceed 17 R-10 cents, which is the sum
of the local rates. Tile carriers are or
dered to put the reduced rate In force
on or before August 6.
"For six years I suffered untold
nlsery from stomach trouble.” says
Mrs. H. P. Flanagan of Canton, South
)\kota. "although I was treated by
our physicians. No two agreed as to
he nature or cause of my disease. One
aid 1 had ulcers of the storrtach. an
ther that it was chronic stomach
rouble and incurable, another called
.t neuralgia.
"The r«ln was dull, not sharp, and
. hen I walked or rode I noticed it was
great deal more severe. It was re
eved when I rested or would lie
lown. I had no appetite and did not
•are to eat at all. I tried to eat to
keep up my strength, but the pain
was there whether I ate or not. I
cas run down in strength and weight.
"My husband read of Dr. Williams’
’ink Pills and persuaded me to try
hem. When I began to take the pills
had no faith in them whatever but
had found no relief in anything else,
-o I tried them. I took about three
oxes and am so well now that I eat
everything I want to. I have no
rouble with my stomach and have no
ioubt that tny cure is complete. My
funeral health is. good and I have
ruined in weight. I can and do recom
mend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to any
me suffering with stomach trouble.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills do not sim-
.|y deaden pain; they cure the troub-
'e that causes the pain. They are
guaranteed to contain no narcotic,
stimulant or opiate. They have cor
rected serious disorders of the stom-

ATLANTA, July 9.—Senator A. O.

Under the Constitution of the United

verse report of the committee on his
bill providing for the rotation of judges
of the superior courts. He spoke in
favor of the bill while Messrs. Hall of
Bibb and Adams of Chatham spoke
against it on the ground of inexpedi
ency and impracticability. At the con
clusion of the discussion the Howe
adopted the adverse report, thus killing
the bill.
Protests against the State prohibition
bill from the Savannah Chamber of
Commerce, the Savannah mass meet
ing of citizen- and business men and
the Georgia-Carolina Fair Association

in the defense of Mrs. Mary Bowie and | offices in the citv received new* last
her son. Henry Bowie, of Pisgah, Charles i night of the splitting of a switch at Neal.
County, who are accused of shooting and near Griffin, and the resultant death of
killing Hubert Posey on the road leading
from Indian Head to Pisgah. on the night
of January 18, for his refusal to marry
Friscilla Bowie, the daughter and sister
of the defendants. It was alleged that
Posey had ruined the girl. The trial
opened here today in the Charles County
court before Judges J. P. Priscoe, Geo.
C. Merrick and J. Parran Crane. Con
gressman Sydney E. Mudd and Adrian
Posev are the counsel for the prisoners

A jury was secured and the opening

Congressman Mudd contended that the
shooting was justified by the "unwritten
law.”
The prosecution put seven witnesses on
the stand to show the facts of the kill

in chief. It developed that, although
several persons witnessed the act for
which Mrs. Bowte and her son are on
trial, or knew that a tragedy was practi
cally certain to occur, yet none of them
offered the victim any assistance.

Colley.,. a fonr-story brick building, in
North Athens. Tenn.. owned hv T\ S.
Grant University of Athens, wn.« struck
bv lightning tonight and totally de
stroyed by fire which followed. The
building was built some ten years ago at
a cost of $60,000 and was used for some
time as an industrial department of the
university. Of recent years, it has been
used ns an apartment house. The univer
sity carried only IIO.OOh insurance and
the loss will be a serious one.
First Bill Signed.
ATLANTA, July 9.—Probably the
first bill to be signed by Governor
Hoke Smith will be the measure relat
ing to Atlanta’s waterworks system.
There was applause In the House
this morning when Representative
Madison Bell moved that the bill au
thorizing the Atlanta bond issue for
waterworks improvements be read a
second time. The request was granted
by unanimous consent, and the bill was
read.
It has already been favorably re
ported by the general judiciary com
mittee, and will be taken up tomorrow
md put on tis passage. It will then
be sent at once to the Senate and read
there the first time tomorrow. Its sec
ond reading will follow on Thursday
and probably its passage on Friday,
there is a chance of its reaching
the Governor for his signature this
eek.
In this case, however, there is no op
position to railroading the hill through
because the members of the General
Assembly are tired of running up
igainst the muddy water proposition
and they are willing to do anything in
their power to relieve it. This bill
simply authorizes the bond issue
which was voted by the people for the
improvement of the waterworks sys
tem.
The House and Senate do not pro
pose to drink Atlanta’s muddy water.
The House passed the following reso
lution:
"Resolved by the House that the
Secretary of State be directed to furn
ish for the use of the House pure
drinking water.”
In accordance with this resolution
Secretary of State Phil Cook has en
tered into a contract with the Bowden
Felder’s Resolution Acted On.
ATLANTA. July 9.—On chief inter
est in the Senate today was the dis
cussion of Senator T. S. Felder’s res
olution providing for the appointment
of a joint committee from the House
and Senate to investigate the Georgia
convict system and reporting to the
General Assembly whether or not
there is some means of employing the
State’s convicts on the public roads.
The discussion at times waxed
warm. Senators Felder, Williford,
AVilkes and Camp spoke for the reso
lution. and Senators Brock. Hayes,
Knight and Stephens spoke against it.
JThe opponents of the resolution ob
jected principally to the preamble,
which recited the fact that it was
against the public policy of the. State
to let out its convicts for hire; that U
was inhumane and all that sort of
thing. Attention was also called to
the fact that if the lease system was
abandoned, the publie schools of the
State would lose about $300,000 a year.
The resolution was finally amended
so as to provide for a eorpmittee of
four from the Senate and five from
the House, after which It was passed
by a vote of 25 to 11. The joint com
mittee 'will be announced within the
next few days.
Senator Boyd offered a resolution
providing for a joint committee to In
vestigate conditions in the counties of
North Georgia as a result of the de
struction from the fumes from the
copper smelting furnaces just across
the line in Tennessee. This subject has
recently been in litigation in the
United States Supreme Court, Georgia
winning her contention. The resolu
tion was referred to the general ju
diciary committee.
Senator Camp introduced a bill to
require all railroads to furnish cars
for the transportation of freight with
in twenty-four hours of the time the
demand was made, and to require that
all freight shall be transported at the
minimum rate of twenty miles a day.
SEN. SCOTT’S ADDRESS
TO STATE
Gov. Smith’s Appointments.
ATLANTA. July 9.—Governor Smith
sent his. first appointments to the Sen
ate today. The particularly noticeable
feature was that the communication
was an open one, and not sealed as
has heretofore been the custom. Gov
ernor Smith has adopted the rule of
having ali his communications to the
Senate open, then if there are any ob
jections to any of his appointments,
they may be made.
The appointments sent to the Sen
ate today, and which will be confirmed
tomorrow, are as follows:
Howell Cobb, reappointed judge of
the City Court of Athens for the full
term of two years.
E. W. Jordan appointed judge of the
City Court of Sandersvillo for the un
expired term ending October 31, 1907.
and for the full term of two years front
that date. J. E. Hyman, who re
signed as judge, was appointed solici
tor of the same court, both for the un
expired term and the full term of two
years following.
James Davidson was appointed so
licitor of the City Court of Greensboro
for the full term of two years.
Doctors Could Not H#lp Her.
"I had kidney trouble for years."
■writes Mrs. Raymond Conner, of Shel
ton. Wash., "and the doctors could not
help me. I tried Foley's Kidney Cure,
and the very first dose gave me relief
nnd 1 am now cured. I vannot say too
much for Foley’s Kidney Cure.” It
makes the diseases kidneys sound so
that they will eliminate the poisons
from the blood. Unless they do this,
good health is impossible. H. J.

Will Have to Borrow.
ATLANTA. Julp 9.—State Treas
urer R. E. Park stated today the in
dications are the Governor will have
to borrow $200 000. the full limit per
mitted under the constitution, in order
to supply casual deficiencies and tide
the State over until the taxes begin
to come In next fall. He thinks the
income of the State between now and
tax-paying time will fall fully that
much short of the necessary expend
itures.
ATLANTA, July 10.—Adjutant Gen
eral Andrew J. Scott, recently appoint'
ed by Governor Hoke Smith, has Is
sued the following Interesting and im
portant address to the Georgia militia:
State of Georgia,
Adjutant General’s Office,
Atlanta, Ga., July 3, 1907.
Having been commissioned Adjutant
General by his excellency, Hoke Smith,
Governor and commander-in-chief Na
tional Guard of Georgia, it is with
sense of profound gratitude that the
undersigned avails himself of the op
portunity to extend his sincere thanks
and appreciation to the officers and
men of the National Guard and naval
militia of Georgia for the assured sup
port and co-operation that they have
so cheerfully given. With a continua
tion of the sympathetic co-operation of
the officers and men and with the
means available the undersigned will
do everything in his power to provide
the organized militia of this State with
every character of supplies and equip
ment essential to the proper mainten
ance of the military forces, and as long
as he is in office he will exert his every
effort to bring the entire service to
the highest state of efficiency. To this
end the Adjutant General expects and
should have the hearty co-operation of
all officers and men. Prompt atten
tion will be given to all matters re
ferred to him and like promptness will
be expected from officers and men.
Discipline is fhe key-note to military
excellence. In a higher sense, disci
pline is the habit of unhesitating obe
dience. The individual acquires the
habit of' subordinating his own will
and inclinations to those of his supe
rior in rank: In this there is no yield
ing of self-respect, dignity or personal
rights. Subordination, In a military
sense, must be understood to mean
ready, willing and graceful obedience
rendered on all points of duty by in
feriors in rank to superiors. As mem
bers of the National Guard and naval
militia of Georgia, we owe twofold
duties to the State, as citizens and sol
diers. Of these duties, neither one
conflicts with the other, and eonscien
tious performance of these duties a:
soldiers makes the more valuable citi
zen to the State. The military and
naval forces of this State should be
fostered by all patriotic persons, and
we should all strive to bring about
such a state of efficiency in both es
tablishments as will merit the favora
ble opinions and respect and good will
of all the people of this commonwealth.
A. J. SCOTT.

WASHINGTON. July 11—By direc
tion of the President, Lieut. Col. Chas.
G. Ayers, Fourteenth Cavalry, has
been ordered before a retiring Doapd at
the army building in New York city
July 17 next. The board will make a
thorough examination of Col. Ayres
physically and mentally with a view to
ascertaining whether he Is eligible for
retirement.

thorities at West Point.
NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, July 11.—The cotton mar
ket was fairly active during today’s trad
ing with fluctuations nervous ana irreg
ular. The close was steady at an ad
vance of 1 point to a decline of 10 points,
most of the active months being within
a point or two of last night’s closing fig
ures. Sales for the day were estimated
at 400,000 bales. /
The market opened steady at a decline
of 2a6 points on rather lower cables, and
continued good weather in the South. At
first there was some irregularity and
during the early session prices worked
up to a net gain of about 6a7 points
on the active months owing to reports of
very heavy rains In Texas, one point
reporting S inches. But it seemed that
this precipitation was localized and the
list eased off sharply during the middle
of the day under continued selling by the
leading interests who are' said to have
turned from the bull to the bear side,
and scattered liquidation. Around 11.70
for October or about 7al0 points net lower
and some 65 points off from the best
prices of the season, the market was
steadied by covering and recovered most
of the loss in the late trading on sup
port attributed to New Orleans houses
and bullish messages from there regard
ing crop prospects. July closed with the
bid price showing the maximum decline
of 10 points, but this was largely nomi
nal and 10 points under the lowest sale
reported during the day.

NEW ORLEANS.
NEW ORLEANS. July 11.—Spot cotton
closed quiet and unchanged: middling
13c. Sales were 1.075 bales on the spot
with none to arrive.
Further reports of beneficial rains
throughout the belt caused the future
market tordjjen from 1 to 2 points below
yesterday's close. There was consider
able selling on the strength of these re
ports and as the liquidation increased in
volume the market became more de
pressed, the noon hour finding prices 5 to
6 points lower than at yesterday’s close.
Later advices from Texas expressed fear
of the rains being too excesive and likely
to result in increasing the numbers and
activity of the boll weevil. This intelli
gence. together with a renewal of buying,
brought about a general advance in
prices. The close, like the opening, was
steady, with the active months ranging
from 4 to 5 points above yesterday’s
olose .

MONTGOMERY. Ala., July 11.—
Former Congressman John Hollis

to fill the unexpired term of Senator
Morgan, by the Democratic caucus of
the Alabama Legislature tonight. No
other name Was presented to the cau
cus. Senator Bankhead received 112
of the possible 138 votes in the caucus.
Only one vote was cast against him—
that of Representative Long, of But

ernor’s forces in the Legislature.
Senator Bankhead, who will be
formally elected next Tuesday, was
escorted to the caucus room, where he

TALK OF WAR WORSE THAN
FOOLISH. SAY JAP MINISTER
MEXICO CITY, July 11.—"Talk of a
war between the United States and Ja-
pon is worse than foolish,” declared Jap
anese Minister Minozi Arakawa today. He
further says that the Japanese would be
the last people in the world to go to war
with the United States.
The minister says that nothing like
the San Francisco trouble could possibly
promote a conflict between the two coun
tries.
An Apple and Peanut Lunoh.
Former Senator Francis M. Cock
rell of Missouri, now a member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, has
regained his health sufficiently to par
take of his usual noonday lunch—two
apples and a sack of peaunts, which
during his thirty yeara official resi
dence in Washington, most of the time
as United States Senator, were his
only diet for the noonday meal.
Senator Cockrell says he believes
there is more nutriment in a sock of
peanuts than in a pound of beeksteak.
and that they are easier to get. Last
winter when he was stricken with ill
ness his physicians ordered him to
drop apples aqd peanuts for a while.
It was a hard task.
Recently when he was advised that
he could resume his favorite bill of
fare he was happier than a boy with
his first pair of red-top boots.—Wash-
