IN THE LEGISLATURE T nr, HOISK HAS A BUSY WEEK BEKonrc it. THE SENATE’S WORK EASIER. TO LIMIT TA.Y KATE TO BE COSSIOEUED. J 1 pa'll re linn Pned the Honse nmt Kill Probably Be Favorably Cou ■lilrrrd !>} tlio Senate—Convict Question to Come Up Akiilii-MnJ. IlniiKiin to Speak on Child Labor. I.rgislaiorn Have an Eye on Anto niiibilcn— Sunday Legislative Note* 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. Hanson on Child l.nlior. Another measure in which there is increased interest, from both points of vi*uv. is the child labor bill. To-morrow night at 8 o’clock, Maj. J. F. Hanson of Macon will address the members of the Legislature and others In the h til of the House in opposition t" this measure. Maj. Hanson will speak L\ lav • ition of the Legislature, on re 'iu's, . • 1,. ; .irgla Industrial Asso rt ’’ 'o h i discussed the question : - recent meeting at tgs. After that meeting ‘"1. ’ in address in opposition to 1 ; legislation on this line was issuid i.y it’s president to the people of Georgia. Maj. Hanson is a student ot *ocial economic questions of this ’lass, and will unquestionably deliver an address of much interest. It is probable there will be ad dresses made in the hall of the House on the other side of the question be fore the child labor bill is taken up for action. Hon. <'. C. Houston of Ful ton and otln i advocates of the bill have given notice to this effect, and the discussion on both sides will un doubtiUly be full and free. Till* 41l toitlli liiii* Hill. It is interesting to notice how prog ress in invention brings out legislation along new lines, and yet not new In this case, except as applicable to the Invention in question—the automobile. ’! he increased number of these ma ' nines in the State lias attracted the at tention of legislators, and now they “■e talking of limiting their speed.

Later in the season, afternoon and then night sessions will, no doubt be in order. on a bTJTIdTng boom. 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. One of Wesley’* First Members. Athens, Ga„ June 28.—Apropos of the celebrations of the anniversary of the birthday of John Wesley through out the country, it is ot interest to note the fact that there is living in Athens now a granddaughter of one of the members of one of the first Methodist societies organized in Eng land by John and Charles Wesley. Mrs. 'Maria E. Nickerson, wife of Capt. Reuben Nickerson, one of Ath ens' most prominent citizens, is the granddaughter of Mary Millington of Gosfield Hall, England who was a member of one of the first Methodist Mrs Nickerson has in her possession a hymn book that belonged to her grandmother. This old hymn book was published in 1783 by Roland Hill, a M„ .and in it is the inscription: “Presented to Mary Millington bj Charles Wesley, December, 1.83, she being 6 a. member of his society/’ This book was handed to Mar> Milling ton by Charles Wesley himself.

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.

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 Great Preparation* Are Reiner Mnle nt Denver.

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 duties it owes to humanity and jus tice.” LIGHTNING WAS BUSY.

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.

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.
