at Intercut.
Atlanta, June 2S.—The House has a
busy week before it while the Senate
fill have a comparatively easy time
/or the next seven days or more. The
,-easoii for this is that the House cal
endar is full, not only with unfinished
business of the previous session, but
with a flood of new business that has
just fallen upon it, while the calendar
of the Senate is practically clear.
The •Senate can clear up all the busi
ness before it within two hours, one of
the senators stated to-day. The few
matters pending are being held up by
special request for further investiga
tion by committees, and the Senate is
now practically in a state of waiting on
the action of the House. The indica
tions are that it will not have to wait
long, however, for there are many bills
on the House calendar brought over
from last session that are ready for
third reading and passage.
Already one of those, and one of
the most Important pieces of legisla
tion yet given attention, has passed the
House and will go to the' Senate to
morrow, namely, the bill providing for
an amendment to the constitution lim
iting the state tax rate to five mills.
Few voices have been raised against
this measure, and the practical una
nimity with which it went through the
House, was somewhat surprising.
That the Senate will pass the meas
ure with few, if any, dissenting votes,
there is little doubt. A prominent
member of that body said the Senate
was sure to pass the bill as speedily
as it could be put through, and the in
dications are that it will be the first
measure to reach the Governor from
the present session. It will then be
submitted to the people for ratification
in the election of 1904.
This limitation of five mills on the
tax rate includes taxation for all pur
poses. Under the present system three
tax levies are made, one for school
purposes, one for the general fund, and
one for the sinking fund of SIOO,OOO an
nually. The passage and ratification
of this constitutional amendment will
mean that those three levies combined,
must not exceed five mills or one-half
of one per cent.
Tlie Convict iljll.
Generally considered as among the
most important matters before the
present Legislature, is the convict
question, over which there is likely to
he a pretty warm debate in the House.
The Senate has already legislated
on the subject of the state’s convicts,
having passed at the last session the
bill by Senator Clements of the Fif
teenth district, providing for practi
cally a renewal of the present system,
or a lease of the convict labor, for an
other period of five years. This is the
bill favored by the Prison Commis
sion. The members of the commission
are satisfied they cAn get a much
higher price for the labor of the con
victs this year, probably 75, if not 100
per cent, more than the state is now
receiving. This will give the state an
income of $350,000 to $400,000 from this
source, without Increased expenses.
Strong efforts are going to be made
in the House to enact totally different
legislation from that passed by the
Senate. Hon. T. S. Felder of Bibb has
a measure which proposes to put the
state convicts to work on the public
roads. It is said that several of the
members will join him in urging this
disposition of the matter. Another
proposition which the House commit
tee has for consideration involves a
renewal of the present system for a
five-year period, one-half the proceeds
from convict hire to be set apart in
the treasury for the purpose of pro
viding other employment for the con
victs when that period has expired.
These are two plans which have sev
eral adherents in the .House, and an
interesting discussion will be the re
sult.
Since the present contracts with les
sees of the convict labor expire April
1 next, it is necessary that action be
taken at this session, and the matter
"'ill doubtless be disposed of at an
early date.

increased interest, from both points of

Important Enterprices About to Be
E*tn ll is bell nt Ainerlen*.
Americus, Ga., June 28.—Three new
enterprises, representing perhaps SIOO,-
000 capital invested, are to be estab
lished at once upon the Central Rail
way front here, and at the head of
Cotton avenue. These are the Ansley
Company’s plant; that of the Glover
Grocery Company and, quite likely, ex
tensive marble works.
The Ansley Company broke dirt yes
terday for a large ice factory and
cold storage plant, the factory having
a capacity of thirty tons daily and
with steam power sufficient to dou
ble that amount. The cold storage de
partment will have sufficient capacity
to store twenty carloads of perishable
stuff, and in addition the company will
operate a syrup plant for the reboiling
and bottling of cane syrup. A fruit
canning plant will be added later, and
will do an extensive business.
E. D. Ansley will be local manager
of this extensive enterprise. The com
pany will be manufacturing ice with
in thirty days, as the brick walls of
the big building are rising rapidly.
Next the Ansley Company's plant
the Glover Grocery Company will a.t
once erect a mammoth warehouse and
office building. This company has just
been chartered, with ample capital,
and within ninety days, perhaps, will
occupy new and commodious quar
ters.
The third enterprise alongside these,
and which will fill up all the vacant
space between the Central depot and
city, is practically assured—large mar
ble works. All of these industries, to
gether with the Americus Grocery
Company near by, will have ample
private trackage, and wdll front one
of the main business streets as well.
A great amount of building is now
going forward here, and Americus will
put at least a quarter of a million
dollars in brick, mortar and lumber
this year in her rapid march of pro
gress.
MAYOR OF MOULTRIE
WAS EXONERATED.
Moultrie, Ga„ June 28.—At a special
meeting of the City Council Mayor B.
P. Crenshaw was completely exonerat
ed of the charges brought against him
by Policemen Campbell and Woodward.
The charges were very damaging in
their nature, and were made by the
policemen on the occasion of their of
fering their resignations a week ago.
They charged among other things that
they were unable to perform their duty
because the Mayor was interested in
certain blind tigers and refused to give
them proper support. The Mayor
promptly demanded an investigation of
the charges, and the investigation was
set for last night. The investigation
was conducted in the Court House. The
Mayor and policemen also were ably
represented by counsel, who examined
and cross examined the witnesses. A
large crowd was present and the inter
est was intense.
When the Council made the report
exonerating the Mayor, there was loud
cheering, showing that the finding met
with general approval.

Athens, Ga„ June 28.—Apropos of
the celebrations of the anniversary of
the birthday of John Wesley through

RAINS HELPED CROPS.
That Is the Report That Comes from
Americas.
Americus, Ga., June 28.—Fine rains
have fallen throughout this section
during the past week, greatly benefiting
corn and cotton.
The cotton crop is unusually small,
end at least three weeks later than at
this date last season. On some farms
the first “chopping” has not yet been
finished, though this is the exception,
rather than the rule. On all farms,
however, the plant is small for the
season, and there will be no general
movement of cotton before Sept. 15 to
20. Last season Americus received
more than 3,000 bales in August, while
by Sept. 15 the warehouse receipts
were probably 7,000 to 8,000 bales.
CHANGES AT THE TECH.
Prof. G. 11. Boggs Will Succeed Prof.
C. K. Francis.
Atlanta, June 28.—Prof. G. H. Boggs
of the University of Maine, son of for
mer Chancellor W. E. Boggs of the
State University, has been elected as
sistant professor of chemistry at the
Tech, to succeed Prof, C. K. Francis,
who resigned to go to Converse Col
lege, Spartanburg, S. C. Prof. Boggs
Is a graduate of the State University
and of the University of Pennsylvania.
Prof. William Randall has returned
to the position of director of the tex
tile school to succeed Prof. Bailey, who
has gone to the Fall River Textile
•School.
P. H. McKenney, a graduate of the
department of textiles, has been made
an instructor in dyeing.
E. W. Camp, another graduate, has
been made an instructor in the spin
ning department.
MAY AVERT STRIKE.
Machinists nt Piltshnrg Make a
Concession.
Pittsburg, June 28.—The threatened
strike of the machinists in this vicin
ity on July 1 was probably averted
to-day by the men agreeing to com
promise, cutting their demand tor an
increase in wages from 15 to 10 per
tent, and withdrawing bodily their
original proposition to make entirely
union all shops where union men in
any number are employed.
A, committee will wait on the man
ufacturers to-morrow to present the
modified scale. If this conference fails
to agree, nearly 4,000 union machinists
will be ordered on strike Tuesday. As
the union manning of the shops has
been stumbling blocks, it is believed
the manufacturers will agree to the
10 per cent, advance In wages.
The molders will in all probability
strike on July 1. This craft, after
several conferences with the employ
ers, has failed to agree on anew
scale. Arbitration has also failed.
FOR CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS

ROOSEVELT’S INTERVENTION

Vienna.
Vienna, June 28.—The action of the
American government concerning the
petition to the Czar regarding the
Kishineff massacre is watched with
the closest attention here on account
of its effect on Eastern affairs. The
Neue Freie Presse says:
“President Roosevelt’s use of Ameri
can influence with powerful Russia will
redound to his undying fame. The Rus
sian autocracy cannot remain unmov
ed by the fact that the President as
an advocate of humanity reminds it
in the face of the whole world of the

Harrington 1* Held. Charged With
the Crime.
St. Louis, June 28. —A, warrant was
sworn out to-dway by Mrs. James P.
McCann, charging F. Seymour Barring
ton with the murder of her husband.
As the alleged crime was committed
in St. Louis county, the city authorities
to-day gave Barrington over into the
custody of Sheriff Hankon, and the
prisoner was taken to Clayton and
placed in jail.
The body of a man supposed to be
McCann, which was buried soon after
being drowned a few days ago at Bon
fils, was exhumed to-day, and an in
quest held. The body was terribly de
composed. Nevertheless, Mrs. McCann
identified the body as that of her hus
band, partially basing the identification
on a gold tooth. Others also identified
the body.
Coroner Koch returned a verdict that
two bullet holes were found In the dead
man’s head and bullets were extracted
corresponding in calibre to that of the
revolver found in Barrington's trunk
last night. The coroner also found a
deep gash in the throat and a cut in
the palm of the right hand, leading to
the assumption that the man had been
attacked first with a knife and, in de
fending himself, had seized the blade;
that finally his throat had been cut,
and he was ultimately shot twice in the
head.
Barrington asserts his innocence.
WILL TRY TO REACH TERMS.
Effort to Settle Differences Will Be
Made lij Miners.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 28.—The
miners, through their superintendents,
and firemen throughout the Wyoming
Valley coal fields, will this week make
an effort to clean up the petty dis
putes and grievances which exist, eo
as not to burden the conciliation
board with such matters. The award
of the coal strike commission says
that the coal miners and superintend
ents should make an attempt to end
the disputes between themselves by
conferences and this will now be done.
Only grievances which cannot be set
tled in this way will be brought to the
attention of the conciliation board.

TREATY WITH CHINA
Will Soon Have It* llntlflratlon* i
Exchanged.
London, June 29,—The Times corre
spondent at Pekin says it is announced
that the ratification of the commercial
treaty between China and Great Brit
ain, which was signed by Sir James L.
Mackay and the Chinese commission
ers at Shanghai last September, is on
its way to Pekin, and ratifications will
presumably be exchanged after Us ar- i
rival, although China has not vouch
safed a reply to the queries of the Brit
ish government regarding her Inten
tions as to the carrying Into effect of
some of the more loosely worded clauses
of the treaty.
Article 8 of the treaty provides for
the abolition of the Likin barrier,
while the native custom houses enu
merated in the government records are
retained, the functions of the Likin
in barriers and the customs house are
largely interchangeable.
The treaty also provides that Great
Britain must be furnished with a list
of customs houses,concerning the myn
ber of which there is great diversity
of opinion. The treaty commissioners
estimated their number at from eigh
teen to twenty-five only, while experts
in the inland trade say the customs
stations number at present a thousand.
If Article 8 becomes operative the
British Olficials in China will be re
quired to redouble their vigilance, but
it probably will not operate because
Great Britain will obtain the advan
tage in the American treaty under the
most favored nation clause.
DESPERATeTbY LOVE.
Lnmnnt Used Hi* Gun With Possibly
Fatal Effort.
Lowell, Mass., June 28.—Joseph La
mont, a clerk in the office of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail
road, at Boston, to-night shot and dan
gerously wounded Georgianna Goddu,
aged 22, of Winchester, and Dr. Ade
larde Payette, aged 35 years, of this
city.
The shooting was the outcome of
Lament’s infatuation for Miss Alexine
Goddu, aged 19, a sister of Georgianna,
and occurred in front of the residence
of Dr. Payette, whom the Goddu sisters
were visiting.

London, June 28.—According to the
Tokio correspondent of the Times,
the excitement in Japan over the
Manchurian problem is Increasing, and
the nation is resolved to support the
government in any measures which
are deemed essential to assert the
rights and safeguard the interests of
the country. Marquis Ito and Count
Yamagata, who hitherto have advised
a waiting policy, now, it is under
stood, advocate resolute action by the
Japanese government.

St. Paul, June 28.—A crowd from St.

point in Wisconsin, near Osceola, where
two prize fights were pulled oft. The
first match was between Eddie Gard
ner of Minneapolis and Jack Kelly of
Chicago, and ended by Kelly being
knocked out in the tenth round.
The second was between Hugh Mc-
Mahon of St. Paul and Larue, a color
ed fighter from Minneapolis, and was
for a purse and the middleweight cham
pionship of the Northwest. Larue put
up a plucky fight, but McMahon had
the better of the contest throughout,
and Larue’s second threw up the sponge

employe In New York's labor war seem
to be still far apart. Through neglect
