2 ARMORIES AND TAXATION. TUB ATTORNEY GEM.It VL IS ASKED FOR AN OPINION. Savannah anti Augusta Commands Have Hail Drninnils Made l ion Them for Taxes— They Claimed Armories Are Public Property anti Are Exempt—The Controller Gen eral Says They Are Subject to Tax ation. Atlanta. Ga.. Aug. 16.—Attorney General Terrell has been asked to give an opinion as to whether the armories occupied by the state militaty companies are subject to taxation by the state. The question has be* n raised by the tax receivers of Chatham and Richmond coun ties. These officials have made a de mand that the armories be returned for taxation, and the military organizations of these cities have refused to do so. The contention of the companies is that the state constitution exempts all public property from taxation, and the question now arises as to whether armories are considered public property. The compa nies say that they are. Controller General Wright has held that the armories are subject to taxation, but an appeal has been made to the Attorney General for an opinion on the subject. He has the matter under consideration and will hand down an opinion in the next few days. The Augusta companies have not yet built an armory, but have purchased the land for one. They claim that the land on which the armory is to be erected is not subject to taxation on account of be ing public property. The Savannah Volunteer Guards own a large building in Savannah, and the tax receiver of Chatham county has demand ed that returns be made. IS A HAIiD PROBLEM. Difficult to Say How the Atlanta Depot Matter Will End. Atlanta. Aug. 16.-A torney General Ter rell says the Atlanta depot question is one of the hardest he has yet had be fore him. He said this morning that it would hardly be to the state’s interest to force the railroads out of the present station for not paying rent it would depreciate the value of state property. If the roads, though, show no willing tiese to build anew station, he beiieves they should be made to pay for the use of the union station. It is believed by some that if the state attempts to force the Central, the Geor gia and the Atlanta and West Point to pay rent or stop using the present depot each road will establish a seperate depot, which would make getting to the various trains inconvenient for Atlantians and other travelers. Speaking of tne matter, Mr. Terrell said: “The special commission has a hard quts tk>n to deal with, and just now has not decided on any plan of action. We will wait until we hear from ilie railroads on 6ept. 17. I believe that they will reach some agreement among themselves which will be satisfactory to the commission. They will if they are acting in good faith. If they fail to agree, however, the ques tion v/ill be harder for us. “I do not know whether they will be oustel or not; som • members of the com mission se m to thick that they shou’d be. We will have to await developments before we reach a decision.’* REFUSED HER \ PARDON. Relieved Mrs. Morgan Would Return to Her Old W ayn, Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 16.—Gov. Candler has refused to pardon Mrs. Martha Mor gan of Wayne county, w'ho was sen tenced to the chain-gang for twelve months last year for selling whisky with out a license. Mrs. Morgan was convicted in the Coun ty Court. She is the widow' of a Confed erate soldier and is 60 years old. From the record which was submitted to the pardoning board, it that she is un able to work, being paralyzed in one arm end suffering considerably with rheu matism. The petition for her pardon was signed by a number of prominent citi zens of Wayne county. Judge Littlefield of the County Court of Wayne, wrote to the commission, however, that the evi dence in the case fully warranted the verdict and that he gave her the full limit of the law because he believed she deserved it. He also stated that if the Pardon Bcaui recommend her release that she would go back to selling whisky again. RIDDLED WITH HI LLETS. route Shot a Negro Down When He Resisted Arrest. Liberty City, Gn., Aug. 16.—Yesterday O. W. Ta'ly. sawyer the mill of W. W. Aimar, four miles from her . wp.s at tacked from behind by C. Small, a negro, end had his arm broken. Tall>bswore out a warrant for the negro and placed it in tne hands of Willie Murray to serve, but the negro refused to b- arrested. Murray and to-day a posse, in Charge of County Pad’.iff Farmer, went again to urre.-t Small. As soon as Far mer made known his business, the negro made a vicious lick at him with a club, but the blow was fortunately parried by Donald Fraser, who threw his gun up. At the same time the posse tired at Small and riddled him with bullets. Small was a danegrous character, and said he would kill any one that attempted to arrest him. His fate was deserved, as he would have brained Bailiff Farmer had rot Fraser partially i>arried the blow. As it is. Farmer ha a severe gash on his head, and is suffering greatly from its effect? This affair hrul nothing to do an 1 was In no wise connected with the killing at this place yesterday. WANT TliK (.ARM. Atlanta Mali Carriers \\ oulil L!kf to Wear Jililrt Waist*. Atlanta, Aug. 11.—Atlanta mail carriers may become shirt-waist men. They look with favor on the idea, and more than 300 business men have signed a petition to Postmaster Smythe, requesting him to give them the privilege. The petition will be circulated further and presented to the posimnster when he returns to the * ity next week. Mail carriers have bren wearing a gray woolen uniform during the recent hot weather. Under orders of Pc'mast<r Smythe the coat has been buttoned Tuesday Assistant Postmaster E. F. Blodgett. on a petition from the carriers, allowed rhe men to unbutton their coats on duty till further orders. This conces sion brought u great relief to the i car riers. but did not wholly provide against the excessive heat they encounter in their daily pilgrimages to stores and residences. They look forward to the shirt waist fer this relief.

W AS A DELIBER ATE PLAN. Negroes Had Arranged to Kill tlic Arresting Officer*. Liberty City, Ga., Aug. 16.—From all that can be learned the killing of R. A. Curtis and wounding of J. T. Gill were concocted by the negroes whose names are published In to-day's Morning News. It seems that Frank Hines was present when the warrant was being drawn and informed Johnson, who organized his friends with a view of killing whoever should attempt to arrest him. The result would have been the same, no matter who had made the arrest. The wonder ful part of ihe whole affair is that Gill was not killed in the terrific fire to which he was subjected. Frank Hines and Allen Cooley were taken to the jail et Hinesville last night and are now' there awaiting a hearing, which will be given them In a few days. Sheriff Lynch of Jesup telegraphed late last night that he had arrested a negro who he thought answered the descrip tion of one connected with the affair here, but he proved to be the wrong man and was turned loose. Ed. Shuman, one of the negroes con nected with the affair, won arrested but it is said he has escaped. Nothing has been heard of the other negroes. Sheriff Brewer is doing all he can to apprehend the murderers, and at the same time is using every means at his com mand to carry out the spirit and inten tion of the law. It is certain, though, (hut should they be captured, by any of the large party that is engaged in scour ing the country there will be bloodshed. <OLI Mills STRIKE IS OFF. Snd New* Renelie* n Bride Before Her Honeymoon Pinned. Columbus. Ga., Aug. 16—The Carpen ters’ and Joiners’ Union to-day declared the strike off. The following was handed to the local press for publication: “We hereby announce and declare that men aiv at liberty to seek work when ever they can procure it.” The notice is signed by the president and secretary of ihe Carpenters' and Join er.-’ Union, independent of the Central Federation, leaders of which are under stood to ha\;<e been in favor'of holding out longer. TV.e men had been out five weeks, but the backbone of the strike was broken Monday, when a large number of the; men went back to work. All planing mills have tesumed operations. Mr. Frank Pussey married in Tennessee u few days ago anti brought his bride here for their hcne>moon. To-day the bride re ceived a telegram from Cumberland Gap. sitting that her father, Mr. Tillman Rose, had been killed. She has been unable to secure any particulars and is prostrated with grief. Three rather unusual suits were filed in the United States Court to-day. They are brought by parties in Troup county for the recovery of mules and wagons seized by revenue men In capturing illicit distilleries The officers believe the gov ernment will win the cases. WARRING CAROLINIANS. tunin Tillninn lln* to Keep Rival Candidates Apart. Columbia. S. C.. Aug. 16.—For the sec ond time during the slate campaign Sen ator Tillman had to separate candidates. At Edgefield to-day Controller General Derham, trembling w’ith emotion, read a circular by tys opponent, N. W. Brook er, printed under the Masonic emblem, in which was declared Derham’s father was an office holder under a carpetbagger and was kicked out by Hampton in 1876. Derham, who has been a lifelong Dem ocrat, and has held office, county and store, for twelve years, cried out that the circular was a lie and turned to meet Brooker. who started towards him and was seized by Senator Tillman. Later Brooker denounced as a lie a recent card by Derham. and said if the controller general needed satisfaction he could ge4 it any time be wished. Derham wept with emotion. Both men left the stand soon after. It is not known whether anything more ser ious will result, but an encounter Is antic ipated. COM DAN \ REFI'MKD TO DAY. Levy for Taxes Wn* Made on It* I*ro|ert> b> the Sheriff. Athens. Ga., Aug. 16.—This morning Sheriff Wier levied on the building and furniture of the Stouthern Mutual Insur ance Company, to satisfy tax executions in his hands for $311,238, the amount in cluding the double tax penalty claimed by the state and county authorities for hack taxes due under the recent decision of the Supreme Court. The Southern Mutual contends that the decision does not apply In ite case and that it does not owe any back taxes. H. C. Tuck, H. H. Carlton. Laimpkin and Burnett represent the state and county, and Erwin nnd Erwin and Howard Van Epps represent the Southern. The levy will be resisted by the company and \ decision of the Supreme Court will be necessary to nettle the matter. The case will be tried in i few weeks, and a lively legal tight is ahead. HAD A NARROW ESC APE. Slnlr flunk Examiner Turner Wiim in Danner of Ills l.lfe. Atlanta. Aug 16.—State Bank Exjminer Turner had a mrrow escape from drowning in the nata'o. rlum on Capitol avenue yesterday even ing Together with n party of friends, he went to the uatatorium to take a swim. Mr. Turner was very warm ai the time and plunged into the cold water as scon as possible. He was immediately seized with cramp. He tried to teach the wall of the pod without assistance, but the water In some place* Is very deep, and not succeeding, he finally cured out to his frh nds fo: help. Hr* wns sinking when two jumped in and tc.v,.in to him. By the sid of n long pole and a rope he was brought to the steps. It took him several hours to recover from the effects of the plunge THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1900. MAY Bt ILD LINE TO Dl BLIN. Dahlia People After Extension of .Seaboard From Lyom. Dublin. Ga., Aug. 16.—There seems to be but little doubt that in a few months the Seaboard Air Line will build a branch road from Lyons to Dublin. Recently a prominent citizen of Dublin visited Savan nah, and w.is Informed by a Savannah official that everything pointed favorably to an early completion of the extension to Dublin. From Lyons to Dublin is only about forty miles, w'hich will put Dublin within 120 miles of Savannah, against 170 as at present. At Dublin the S* abord would connect with the Macon and I>ublln road, and thus give Macon another line to Sa- j vannali. To convince the Dublinite that what he said was true, the Seaboard official showed him the figures and estimates of the prob able amount of business the road would do. and it was figured that the Dublin business alone, to say nothing of the lo cal business end the amount of freight and passenger traffic tnat would be received from Macon, would pay n handsome in terest upon the money invested. The people of Dublin desire very much a shorter line to the sea, and recently President J. S. Simons. Jr., of the Young Men’s Business League, took the matter up with the Dublin merchants and se cured a large petition to send <o the offi cials of the Brewton and Pineora ask ing that that line be extended from Brew ton eight miles into Dublin, but it was discovered from remarks make by Pres ident Egan to the newspapers that he was opposed to extending the road to Dublin. President Simons therefore pig eonholed the petition and did not head n big delegation of business men to Savan nah as was first intended. It is the in tention of the business men <o make no further effort to bring the Brewton and Pineora to Dublin, but to give all the encouragement possible to the Seaboard Air Line. It is believed that President Egan is opposed to coming to Dublin with the Brewrton and Pineorn on account of the Wrightsville and Tennille, which road is largely owned by the Central. HE WILL HE IN THE RACE. Little Doubt That Hon. Pope Brown Will Run fur Governor. Dublin, Ga., Aug 16.—1 t was genera ly understood by th se who attended the an nual conv n ion of she B*ate Agricultural Society in Dublin last week that Hon. J. Pope Brown would be a candidate for Goverror two yea s hen e. True he would not affirm the report, but his close friends gave to understand who were in clined to inquire about the matter that he would certainly be in the raoe t# suc ceed Governor Candler. They prophesied tco, han .minat on an l subsequent elec tion. It is expected that Hon. Clark Howell and Attorney General Jo* Terrell will be in the race also. This, his friends say, will hflp Mr. Brown as the northern section of the state will this be divided between tw’o candidates, w’hile Georgia is expected to go so’idly for the railroad commission er. There is no question bu-t that Mr. Brown is very strong w’ith the farmers of Geor gia. At Quitman last year he a c =s?r ed most positively that he would not under any circumstances accept the presidency cf the Ft ate Agricultural Soc'etv longer than ore more year and yet ai the Dub lin me ling he corsmted to run again and was unanimously re-elcctcd. Th‘s latter occurrence is looked upon as having a good deal of political significance. It can be accepted as a fact that Brown will he in the. race for Governor in lfo2 and will give somebody a warm race. PREPARING HIS REPORT. Commissioner Stevens AVIII Show the Cuudhlon of Crop*.
