2 THE REAPPORTIONMENT PLAN. ONLY KIN£ COUNTIES CHANGED OUT OF 137. Kab-Coinmitlef >lnke* an luaniniouv Report—Some Opposition, How ever—Emanuel to Be Token From tlie First DUtrirt mill Nothin* Ad ded to It —From Hein* tlie Most Populous District the Eleventh I* Decreased to Next to the Smolleiit, While the Fourth Become® the Moat Populoui. Atlanta. Nov. 22.—The plan of con gressional reapportionment, as pro posed by the sub-committee by unan imous vote, involves the changing of only nine counties out of the 137. These are the counties of Dodge, Emaunel, Laurens, Johnson. Lincoln. Berrien, Stewart, Webster and Douglas. Judging from the discussion heard among members of the House yester day the plan, while satisfactory to some members, will meet with oppo sition from certain quarters. Notwithstanding this, members of the sub-committee assert, with a strik ing positiveness, that the plan which they have adopted unanimously, will go through without material opposi tion. The plan brings the population of the districts closer together, but still leaves a striking disparity in some cases. It increases the. population of the Fourth, as will be seen from the figures, from the next to the smallest to the largest district in the state, while it relegates the Eleventh from its pres ent position as the most populous district in the state to the next to the smallest district. Following are the changes in the dis tricts as they are proposed by the sub committee, with present population, and the population which the change will give: First —Emanuel is taken out and nothing- added. Present population, 217,817: population of proposed district, 196,538. Second—Berrien Is taken out and nothing added. Present population, 226,980: population of proposed district, 207,540. Third—Stewart and Webster are taken out and Laurens and Dodge add ed. Present population, 186,346: popu lation of proposed district, 203,755. Fourth—Stewart and Webster are added and nothing taken out. Present population, 185,986; population of pro posed district. 208,460. Fifth—Douglas is taken out and nothing added. Present population, 211.257; population of proposed district, 202,512. Sixth —No change is made. Popula tion. 193,852. Seventh —Douglas Is added and noth ing taken out. Present population. 197,- 612: population of proposed district, 206,357. Eighth—Lincoln is added and nothing taken out. President population, 191,- 026; population of proposed district, 198,182. Ninth—No change is made. Popula tion, 196,435. Tenth—Lincoln is taken out and Johnson and Emanuel are added. Pres ent population, 181,395: population of proposed district, 206,927. Eleventh —Johnson. Dodge and Lau rens are taken out and Berrien is add ed. Present population, 227,169; popu lation of proposed district, 195.207. The Senate and House members of the sub-committee will submit the foregoing rearrangement of the dis tricts to their committees separately as provided in the resolution, after which a meeting of the Joint committee will be held, probably on Monday night. If the Joint committee can agree at that time, the reapportionment bill will no doubt be introduced in the House on Tuesday.

Nov. 22.—From a time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, it has been a custom among the freshman at the university to treat the famous “Lucy Cobb” goats to a coat of paint whenever uni versity athletes won a victory on the gridiron or diamond. However, the goats have, of late, been badly in need of a smearing, and the class of 1!H)5 have been waiting in vain for Geor gia to defeat her opponents on the gridiron So yesterday a band of five, armed with paint and brushes, paid a visit to the institute—not at mid night as they have always done—but, In broad daylight—at midday. The police were summoned by telephone and succeeded In catching the culprits, who were fined $lO each and made to apologize to the principal at the Insti tute. The young men all belong to prominent families in the state, and the affair has occasioned much com ment here. A serious shake up in university ath letics has resulted from the expulsion of several of the members of the foot ball team. The charge against them !s "breaking training." The students uphold the coach of the team In his action, though they know that the loss of the four players will be sorely felt in the contest with Auburn on Thanks giving Day, for the men were a tower of strength to the team. The Thalians, the Dramatic Club of the university, will shortly present their farce, “Shylock,” for the benefit of the Athletic Association. Promi nent in the cast, are Mr. Neyle Col quitt and Mr. Paul Jette. both of Sa vannah, who interpret the lines of Shylock and Tubal, respectively. The Thalian performance is always one of Interest, and Is the occasion for the gathering of many alumni. The alumni catalogue of the uni versity is out. It presents & neat ap pearance, the colors of the university being represented on its binding. Three thousand have been sent out by Sec retary Hull to the friends and alumni of the Institution throughout the state. STRIP MAKING. It Is in Full Sway In Thomns and Fair Prices Are Realised. Thomasville, Ga., Nov. 22. —Sylup- making throughout this section is in full swing, and fair prices are being realized for the product. Among the most successful producers of this ar ticle, which is so rapidly coming into general favor, is C. H. Eubanks, who has a farm near this city. Mr. Eu banks makes a very superior quality of syrup, in fact, about as fine as can be made, both in color, consistency and flavor. He not only “makes up" his own crop, but also gfiinds for many of his neighbors. A number of people living In the city and raising patches of cane on their lots, have had him make It up for them, paying toll after the fashion of the old corn mills, and thus getting their domestic supply of syrup of the finest grade. Mr. Eubanks Is pecu liarly fortunate in having a very thor ough going and thrifty wife who takes a prominent and intelligent part In all bis farming. trucking and dairying operations, for he is interested in all these, she doing most of the sell ing and financiering. Mrs.Eubanks said to the Morning News correspondent to day: “I can sell every gallon of the syrup we are making at 50 cents a gal lon. lam getting orders faster than we can fill them; In fact, I am selling it as fast as we make tt. We are bot tling most of it. but the buyers furnish the bottles. Mr. Ball, the grocer, has .hint given me an order for 500 bottles. This pays better than cotton and, al though we have always planted some coton. another year we shall drop cot ton and go more into cane than ever. I could get 80 cents and possibly $1 a gallon for my syrup next summer, but we have considerable expense and must have ready cash, so I am selling it now at 50 cents. Lots of people, though, are selling at 28 cents, which is about the ruling price. We believe In taking more pains, producing the highest quality and getting the best prices, as the difference in cost of making is much more than offset by the difference in price. Besides, Instead Of having to hunt for buyers, the buy ers hunt for me. and there is some compensation in that.” COURT IN SCREVEN. Two Murder Cote* Tried and Four More to Follow. Sylvania, Ga., Nov. 22.—A number of criminal cases are being tried In the Superior Court here this week. It Is not likely that the docket will be finished this week, and it Is probable that court will be continued over Into next week.

Sam Campfleld, colored, was convict ed of murder and recommended to mercy, and will be sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Ernest Outland. colored, was convict ed of murder, without recommenda tion. and will be sentenced to hang. Charles Carter, colored, was convict ed of burglary. , There are four other murder cases to be tried, besides a large number of minor cases. NEARLY BEATEN TO DUATH.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23,1901; SAD CASE AT COLUMBIA. Cliurlehton Woman Driven In Shop lifting for Sake of Her Children. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 22. —One of the saddest cases that the police here have had to handle in some time has been worrying the officers for several days. It seems that there was no doubt that a neatly-dressed woman, apparently about 34 years of age, who came from Charleston, had been guilty of shop lifting at several dry goods houses here. On Thursday the police depart ment decided to send Special Officers Thackham and Strickland to Charles ton to arrest the woman and bring her here. These officers did arrest the wo man at her home in Charleston and yesterday they brought her here, hav ing found articles in her house, show ing that it was she who was wanted. She gave her name as Mrs. Julia E. Riggs. She was neatly dressed and showed in her manner that she was not what conditions indicated. Soon after her arrest she told the officers a sad story. Mrs. Riggs' husband is confined in the state hos pital here. She has young children at home, two being almost invalids. She had been supporting herself and the children by taking In sewing. Finally work failed and starvation seemed to be staring her in the face. In her des peration she came here with a lady friend, and while her friend was shop ping she was seized with the idea that she might help her children by taking some articles from the stores visited. When the facts became known to the merchants yesterday they agreed not to prosecute the unfortunate mother, provided she could return the articles or their equivalent. The police inter ested themselves in her behalf and communicated with those in Charles ton who knew her and before evening all the losers had been satisfied. A HOT TIME WITH GAMBLERS. A Georgia Southern Camp Cor Raid ed ly Deputy Sheriff. Valdosta, Ga., Nov. 22.—Deputy Sher iff Barfield and a posse of five depu ties had a hot time raiding negro gam blers at an early hour this morning. They went to a camp car on the Geor gia Southern road, where a gang of negroes were engaged in a game. The deputies ordered the negroes to sur render, but Instead of doing so, they pulled their guns and a lively war en sued for a few minutes. About a dozen shots were fired in the dark, and, strange to say, no one was hurt, un less It was one of the negroes. Deputy Barfield had a bullet pass through his coat, but no injury was done to him. Three of the ,negroes were arrested, brought to the city and lodged in jail. Three others escaped and it was thought that one of them was badly hurt, but is being cared for by friends. It was understood this afternoon that the sheriff has a clue to the balance of the negroes, and they will be arrested later. Deputy Barfield and the posse had been to Mineola to raid a gang of ne gro gamblers there and one of these told the deputies about the game that was in progress in the camp car. The negroes arrested at Mineola were Rob ert Moore, William Smith and Jack Williams. All of them were lodged In jail and will be tried at this term of the court. In the Superior Court this morning the case against Bunk Lloyd, charged with assault with intent to mut dor, was tried, and Lloyd was found not guilty. He has been in jail for some time, having been arrested In Florida, where he had moved with nis family. Lloyd is a white man, and the case against him was based upon a beating which he gave another white man named Sad Adkins. Adkins was beat en almost to death, the trouble between them being the result of a family row. After the case became fully known to the people Lloyd had a good deal of swmpathy and the acquittal to-day was rather expected. FRANK BELL A GEORGIAN. Man Who Wai Robbed In New Yorlf Has Been Around the Globe. Gainesville, Ga., Nov. 22.—Frank M. Bell, who was robbed In New York yesterday by confidence men of $1,190, is well known here, and is a brother of the several Bell boys of this city, all of whom are prominent citizens of Gainesville. He left here about six years ago. and for some time his whereabouts were unknown. Finally his relatives received a letter from him from Philippine Islands, where he had gone as a reghlar in the United States Army. After his term of enlistment was out he went with a railway con struction company to Ecuador and has since resided there. He wrote his mother here about two weeks ago that he was coming home for Christmas via New York, and the Associated Press dispatch from New York about his being robbed was the first intima tion his people had that he was in this country. He is expected here to-mor row. THE CAROLINA AND NORTHERN. The Meubonrd'a Supposed Outlet to Georgetown. Marlon, S. C..

Atlanta. Nov. 22.—The House was not in a working humor to-day. and spent most of the session discussing a resolution by Mr. Miller of Muscogee, limiting individual speeches on all questions to come before the House to ter. minutes. This rule was looked upon as a very harsh one by the depot filibusters who came to the conclusion that It was aimed at them, and they violently op posed its adoption. Fully an hour was spent in discussing this resolution, and the rest of the report of the Commit tee on Rules. The resolution was finally adopted, and hereafter to the end of the session, nothing but ten minute speeches will be allowed in the House. The House showed that it was averse to fixing any more special orders, and resolutions reported fav orably by the Committee on Ruies. fix ing the Soldiers’ Home bill, the Bla lock resolution to pay interest from the public property fund, the child labor bill and others as special orders were promptly voted down. The action of the House on these resolutions was followed by a large number of requests for unanimous con sent to introduce bills or to have local bills passed. All of them were refused and motions to adjourn, made on an average of every five minutes, were voted down. The bill by Senator Hardaway, pro viding emasculation as a punishment for attempted criminal assault, which was passed by the Senate, was killed by the House. The following new bills were intro duced in the House: By Mr. Miller of Muscogee—To re quire fire Insurance companies doing business in the state of Georgia to write Insurance through licensed agents. By Mr. Miller of Muscogee—To cut down appropriation for indigent wid ows. By Mr. Miller of Muscogee—To ap propriate $62,000 additional to pension fund.

By Mr. Ousley of Lowndes —A bill to abolish the County Court of Lowndes. By Mr. Burnett of Clarke—A bill to create a dispensary for Athens. Atlanta’s Charter BUI. The Senate this morning, after an explanation from Senator Howell of the Thirty-fifth, passed a substitute fop the Atlanta charter bill, omitting all the provisions relating to taxation of franchises. These provisions, It is stated, have simply been held up for the present, and a bill providing some additional method of taxing corporate franchises will be passed as soon as some compromise On this line can be agreed on. The Senate to-day passed many local bills. The House resolution providing for an investigation of the affairs of the Soldiers' Home was concurred in. It was decided not to have a session on Thanksgiving Day and that it be declared as a dies non. Farmer Robbed by Negro.
