SOUTHERN IMMJORATtON SEEMS TO
/IE ENDORSEH «»• EVERY LIXE.
A Legitimate and Sound Plait for Bringing
1 llmw<'ker» Southward— A Bureau
of Informat{<>■■ in Atlanta.
Ex-Gov?rnor W. J. Northen is already
comfortably settled tn his now offices, 4**3
and W7 Equitable bui.dinz.. and is now one
< f the busiest of business men.
Governor Northen holds the peculiar posi
tion of having stepped out of the executive
t»rfl«-e. but not out of the service of the good
old state of Georgia, and lie is now in a
field of labor that will, perchance, offer
quite as many direct opjior{.unities of ren
der.ng benefits to the state as were open to
him while he was the chief executive.
Nothing today is more important in the
great upiMlilding of Georgia than the bring
ing of capital and population to the state.
An.l that is the mission ex-Governor Nor
then holds now.
Governor N--rtn*n many months ago con
ceived the idea that Georgia. as a state,
needed an immigration bureau, or some
thing that would bring into successful oper
ation a mov< rnent to induce people to come
to this stale to find homes and to join in
the great work of building up the industrial
interests of the state. It may be justly said
In this connection that Governor Northen
was the first man to ever hit upon anything
like a pra- tica! and promising plan. He has
shaped his ideas into plans that have met
the approval of every eye and mind.
Tlie railroads are with him and will be the
great force behind the movement. This was
necessary. The railroads are the first to be
consult* <i in any plan for immigration, for
to them the people of a section must look
for the of su« h undertakings. The
railroads ot‘ the south are in thorough sym
pathy with Govern, r North n in the move
ment he has undertaken for the good of
Georgia an.l the people of the state are
with him. too.
in the sch» me that has been thus put into
~tuoa for I t; • stab- of Geor-
gia it is parti siarly gratifying to notice
one spe* .al tend, ncy of the limes that has
for a long time been a consummation de
voutlv t. , wished, it is the coming to
g lher of the p* pie and the railroads.
It has for n any day* been a matter be
yond di pule that the interests of the peo
ple and the interests of the railroads lie
directly in the same path and close to
gether.
But. for som<- unaccountable reason there
has been a sort of antagonism on the part
of the people of the south towards Qie rail
roads. The cons*-qu«*nce was the clashing
climax that throw all of the greatest roads
of the section into the dangerous ditches
of bankruptcy a year or two ago. Then the
p>.ople began to realize that it were not well
to frown so wtherii.gly upon the enterprises
upon which they w -re really more d< pend
ent than upon any others. There is now ap
parent evidences of a reaction in this re
spect and the people of the south realize
that the railr -ads are the backbones of the
country's prosperity and that their interests
and those of the roads lie much in the same
line.
Tlie movement Governor Northen has
started is doing much toward* bringing the
people and the railroads together in more
friendly intercourse of business. The rail
roads are tn be credited for the readiness
they have shown to grant witling conces
sions to help in the work of developing the
state of Georgia end the south. The people
of the state are showing the same willing
ness to meet on the hal’ way ground and
with all of the local I rces thus moving
• • - to see that the
bureau which Governor Northen as a pri
vate citizen and plain business man has es
t.i-di h«d will be a great success and a
power in the material upbuilding if the ter
rf’ory around.
ii»«« tin- Plan Is Working Already.

dustriously to work just as soon as 1 can

"Oa yes, the mads are undertaking great
things for the state. They a«e not only in
full sympathy, but in active co-operation,
with my work, and they will afford me
every possible advantage to develop the
state. Indeed, their action, takvn in con

“Is there anything else you propose to
do in the way of advertisement?”
“Oh yes; 1 am going to spend a good

in such sections as will furnish us desir
able citizens. At such times 1 shall speak
to the people about the conditions at the
south, and in Georgia particularly; and I
then propose to distribute such literature
as may be furnished me by the counties,
and. possibly, by the state.
“As I have said to you before, I shall
have local representatives in each county
in the state. In addition to other duties,
I shall expect these agents to solicit sub
scriptions from public-spirited citizens of
their several counties to furnish me with
such printed matter as they may desire
to give out, to be compiled nnd bound,
several counties being grouped together for
reduction of cost and convenience for
distribution. 1 shall certainly expec* the
1 state to furnish a handbook of its re
’ sources. Tire l»ook published during Col-
I onel Henderson’s administration of the
I agricultural department has been entirely
I exhausted and tlie work should be re
viewed and brought up to our present im
proved conditions. After the railroads have
come so generously to help forward the
development of the state, the people them
selves cannot decline to co-operate with
them. The truth is, the state should lead
in «he matter; but we have been so very
greatly disappointed in efforts of this
kind before the legislature that we can
hardly hope for more than tlie publication
of the handbook, and possibly the passage
of the bill along the line of my recent
message introduced by Mr. Hall, of New
nan, for the advertisement ot our re
sources and advantages by exhibits at the
I Cotton States and International exposition.
This bill ought to pass by all means.”
”You are very hopeful of results, then?”
“Yes; but I recognize many diilh-uities
in the way. I have not undertaken an easy
I job. There is not only great necessity for
I such work, but, projierly managed, 1 must
think that there is now a fine opportunity’
for the enterprise. It will not be an easy
n<att.r to turn t lie liu<- this Way, Whan
we understand the forces impelling it in
another direction. I realize that 1 have
undertaken an enterprise hedged about by
difficulties; but the great support given
me by the railroads, together with the
| encouragement and co-op*ratlon promised
| me generally by the jieople and the aid that
1 cannot but iielieve will Im- given by the
, state, will, 1 feel sure, secure good results
I for the general development of Georgia
| and the prosperity of the people.”

LEI'IEHS FROM HIE PEOPLE.
Right io the Feint.
Editor Constitution—l have read with
much interest your editorials asking in be
half of ihe people the enactment of a gen
eral election law which will preserve and
secure for generations to come the purity
of tlie ballot. Assuming that the cry which
comes from all parties anti sections for a
“free ballot and a fair count” is sincere,
let us have a law that will recure it with
approximate, if not absolute <-eriianty. Lx?t
it be known far and wide throughout the
union that there is one state where fraudu
lent elections are unknown. Please allow
me to suggest the outlines of a law which
will secure a fair election, hoping that some
legislator will prepare a bill embodying the
, provisions and ]x*rfecting the details. The
Australian system gives too much privacy
and power to election managers. A gen
eral registration law for the state would
be better than the present regulations, but
would not secure what we need—approxi
mate certainty. The history of registra
tion laws in the counties in
our state shows that registra
tion, with officers, certain hours,
certain dates and uncertain names and
faces and uncertain numbers of streets is
cumbersome, tedious and unsatisfactory.
We «rant to be rid of the lists of de*
faulttorJ .transcribed and hawked about
from one ward and precinct to another and
politicians and bosses rushing to registra
tion offices the day before the time is
out to enter the names of such voters.
We want the defaulters' lists abolished
and let them take care of themselves it
they wish to vote.
The more you consider the following
plan the more favorably you will lie im
pressed with its justice and effii’lency.
First, require the tax collector in each
county thirty days liefore an election—or
i during tlie month of January would be
much better—to furnish to the ordinary of
each county in permanent form a list of
the qualified voters. Provide that a citizen
removing from another county or state
may have his name entered, through the
tax collector, by presenting his tax re
ceipt of the previous year, or if lost, a cer
tificate from the tax collector that it is
paid. I.et the lists be kept in the ordi
nary’s office, but open for inspection. Pro
tide for the entering of names omitted
through oversight of the tax collector and
suitable penalties for intentional fraud.
Pay h*ni for his extra labor what it is
worth.
Second, require every voter to vote in
his own ward or precinct.
Third, r«*quire the ordinary to appoint,
or allow at least, one representative from
each political party.
Fourth, b-t one manager appointed from
each ward or precinct constitute a con
solidating board and in the presence of the
! ordinary as chairman, consolidate the re
' turns.
Fifth, if the “heeler* and bosses” around
the polls arc not suflieieutly suppressed by
foregoing provisions, provide by special
! enactment for their suppression.
Objections, if sought, can be found to
; any plan on earth, but if “a free ballot and
| a fair count” is really desired embody
| the above in statutory law and you’ve

More Money Wanted.
Editor Constitution—Your noble fight in
i behalf of free silver naturally attracts to
your advocacy every financial reform
! which will bring relief to the people. It 1
■ is conceded that there is an absolute neces-
■ sity for a 11- xlble currency with an elasti
city whlco will respond to tlie demands of ;
I trade and commercial enterprise. It is
i conceded that ihe present system is de
! fective, in that it does not offer this essen
tial characteristic of a good currency. It
appears that the moneyed interest of the
country is violently opposed to any change
("thinking,” as they call it) with the pres
i ent system. What we need is a local cur
rency that will be forced into circulation
at home and not seek the great commercial
centers where congestion takes )>lace. Look
at the situation of the metropolitan banks I
now With deposits Os >550,000.iW0. The in- !
terest rate down to 2 cent or under,
ana then look at the condition of the ,
cities in outlying states where money can- '
not lie had at less than ti to 10 per cent I
per annum. What is the cause of this? I
\» hal influences deplete tlie country and
congests its mom y in the commercial
cities. Tlie K50,000.U00 of deposits in tlie '
banks of New York, strange to say. be
long in a great measure to country .banks,
at those Very points where more currency
,is needed in order to stimulate flagging
enterprises and keep the industrial wheels
in motion. Why is this money, so much
needed at home, accumulated in New York
and other centers? It is because of the
policy adopted by the republican party in
the administration of the national banking
system. It is a policy fostered by the
gr->at national banks of the reserve cities
of the nation and continued under demo
cratic rules. The national banking law
requires all national banks outside of cer
tain reserve cities, such as New York.
Boston, Chicago, etc., to keep a reserve of
15 per cent of all deposit!* in order to
meet the demands which may be
made upon the bank by deposi
tors. Under the rulings of the
department this reserve may consist
of legal tender money in the vaults of the
bonks or deposits in national banks in re
serve cities, which the comptroller has
designated as a reserve bank for the depos
iting bank. The great national banks of
reserve cities, in order to Induce the
country banks (by country banks i mean
the banks outside of reserve cities) to keep
large depusli-*, have been in the habit
of paying interest on the reserve deposit
left with them al the rate of 2 per cent,
or even at per cent. Under this stim
ulus there has ween withdrawn from local
circulation and placed on deposit in the
metropolitan banks alone the greater part
of the WW.IJUO.iV), aside from tile immense
amounts on deposit in other cities.
There can be no question about it.
That if this vast sum t>i money was
driven buck to its home circulation it
would stimulate every enterprise and re
vive every industry.
Wliiie it is true that tlie reserve fund can
not be loaned out, banks having their re
serves in New York are compelled to ki ep
a considerable sum of money, almost, if
not equal to the reserve, for their current
needs and thus this is really a double re
serve, in all cases where the reserve or
the bulk of it, is kept in the reserve cities
on interest. Any policy which would com
pel tlie banks to keep their reserves in
their vaults would at once release and put
in circulation all the money which lias
born kept for current purposes. Au exam
ination of the reports of national banks to
Comptroller Wright show what vast
amounts are thus licked up from cir
culation. So it can be seen at once that
anj policy which will drive the reserve
funds from the central cities and force
it, or the greater part of it. into circulation
at home points will afford great relief to
the people. Besides this, it is a fact th it
during the panic of ivß money in New
York banks, which under the comptroller’s
ruling was counted as reserve, was not
in fact available, as tiie banks there shel
tered themselves under the clearing house
issues and would not let the country banks
have their currency. The New Work banks
made great claims for saving the country
and relieving the pacnic. It should be re
membered tiiat whatever they may have
done in that line was effected in a great
measure by the money of the country
banks on deposit with them. The easiest
way to accomplish the result desired is to
forbid national banks in reserve cities from
paying interest on deposits, and r< during
the amount, which shall be counted as i>art
of tlie reserve, of deposits in reserve banks
—say only one-third of the reserve shall
consist in deposits tn reserve banks.
When there is a cry on the part of the
people for more currency, tlie answer is in
sarcastic tones: "What you need . is, not
more currency, but more collateral.” There
is not a dollar in the banks of Atlanta for
loan which will remain unioaned any rea
sonable time, if the rate of interest is
reduced, so that a profit can be made on it.
And I warrant you that the collateral upon
which the banks here loaned in the past
and will continue to loan in the fture will
be considered safe. What we need, as
much or mor<? than anything else, »s more
money, so that the late of interest will
come down and mote profit can be made
of it b} borrowers. If the millions of dol
lars belonging to the banks of the state of
Georgia, on deposit in the great cities ot
the north, was forceu back to its home
and put In circulation it would bring ,l>!e
and vigor, hum the idle wheels and feed
the discontented working element all oyer
the state. ONE OE THE PEOI'LE.

A Suggestloti to the Cotton Growers’
<’<iii vent ion.
Editor Constitution—Your editorial of a
few days ago offers the true solution of
the cotton problem, namely, that all out
cotton crop be manufactured here instead of
permitting England to do it. ami exporting
only manufactured cotton goods. By treaties
that ought to have liven aooiished long ago
Japan has been forced by Engl;.ml and oth
er European powers to admit foreign goods
at an exceedingly low rate of duties, and
the I nited States would lie treated in the
same way if it was a weak nation. Now,
tlie best way to bring almut tlie proposed
reform is the simplest way—so simple tiiat
the people can easily understand it. Dur
ing the late war every flirmer and pu nter
was required to give one-tenth <■( his ciop
to sustain the government of the confeder
ate states. Supp. se the farmers of Georgia
formed a company on that basis, taking
stock, payable fn new cotton to the extent '
of one-tenth of In’s cotton crop, the cotton .
to be held until it reached, say S cents a
pounti, or any agreed price, then to be
sold and th.- proceeds loaned to the stock
holders in any community who would sub
set be in cash one-half ihe amount needed 1
to build a cotton factory commensurate

Chipley, Ga., October 30.—(Special.)—Them
is great excitement here over the killing
of Mrs. W. T. Magruder by her husband,
about 12 o'clock today, by cutting'her throat
with a pocket knife.
The cause of tiie killing is supposed to
have been jealousy.
Mr. W. T. Alagruder is justice of the
peace of White Sulphur Springs district, of
Meriwether county, and stands well in his
community as an upright citizen.
He is something over forty-five years of
age. His wile was about twenty. She was
a beautiful blonde. The sad affair is much
regretted by the friends ot’ both.
A Jealous Husband’s Berd.
Greenville. Ga., October 31.—The terrible
Magruder tragedy, the details of which ap
peared in The Constitution of this morn
ing. grows in interest.
The funeral of the victim was largely at
tended, while the uxoricide is distracted
with remorse.
11 was on Tuesday afternoon, about 1
o’clock, at White Sulphur Sphings, that was
enacted this siuluest and most lamentable
tragedy.
Never was a crime committ°d in old
Meriwether that created more surprise. The
news of its commission was like a. thunder
clap from a dear sk. - . The perpetrator was
regarded as an affable, mild-mannered gen
tleman and loving husband. While the vic
tim was known to her neighbors as an
affectionate wife.
An I iilnwful Love.
The crime is the finale of an unlawful
love. Just after dinner yesterday, Mr. W.
L. Magruder cut his wife’s throat, killing
her ins tantly, on account of her supposed
intimacy with Mr. .1. 11. Maddox, a promi
nent business man of West Point.
Several years ago Magruder was married
to Miss Lula May Johnson, a beautiful
young lady of eighteen summers, whose
father resides at Waverly, Ala. Maddox
was also a suitor for the hand of Miss
Johnson. After the marriage of Miss John
son to Magruder Maddox b came a married
man. For the past six months, it is claim
ed that Maddox has been a frequent visitor
at Magruder's home during the latter’s ab
sence.
The Truth Dlmvlosuml.
Ten days ago the unfortunate husband
learned of his wife’s unfaithiessness, since
which time, by brooding over his trouble.
It is supposed that he became temporarily
insane. The climax was reached Tuesday,
when the wife’s infidelity was made ap
parent to the husband by a letter addressed
to her paramour, Maddox, agreeing to meet
him at TaiGrange.
This letter was intercepted by the al
ready outrage ! and infuriated husband.
Tlie Murder Committed.
This was more than be could stand.
Reason topple*’ from its throne, and it is
believed that while und r the influence of
temporary dementia he committed the hor
rit le deed. Air. Magruder made no effort
to escape the consequences of his act. but
immediately gave himself up to the officers
of the law, waived trial and was com
mitted to jail to await the action of the
grand jury.
Will Magruder, as the defendant is com
monly culled, is justice ot’ the peace of
While Sulphur Springs district, a prtsper
ous farmer and universally este 'med by
his acquaintances. The unfortunate kill
ing is deeply deplored. J. 11. Maddox,

counsel, E. V. Lindabury, of Elizabeth.
Mrs. Drayton makes denial specifically
of all of her husband’s charges, saying
that she was never guilty of adultery with
Hallet Alsop Borrowe, or with any other
persqn or persons whatsoever, either in
New York, London, Bernardsville or any
other place. She says the charges are “a
most unfounded and cruel imputation.” On
the contrary, she avers the truth to be
that she has always, since her marriage
with her husband, faithfully regarded her
marriage vows, and been true and faithful
to his bed and her obligations as his wife.

this afternoon to hear the testimony In
the case of Harding vs. Harding. Mrs.
Minnie V. Harting accused her husband,
George M. Harding, of gross misconduct
and asked for a divorce on the statutory
grounds. Mrs. Harding was a Charleston
belle when she married Harting there on
November 27, 1892.
In her complaint she accused Harding
of intimacy with Madeline Liebert, known
as Baronie Liebert and Lady Liebert.
Harding put in no defense and in court It
was stated that ho is still living with the
woman.
D. W. Patterson swore that he served the
papers on the husband.
"All right,” said Harting to Patterson.
"Wait and I’ll get a pen and ink for you
and give you the names of a number of
persons who will help my wife’s case. I’m
living with a good woman, and I’m satisfied
to let my wife go ahead.”
Judge Glegerlch granted the divorce.

SINCLAIR’S WIDOWS.
He Claimed to Be Divorced from Ills
First Wife.
Baltimore, Md., October 28.—1 t caused
something of a start in Baltimore’s highest
business and social circles yesterday when
the news came that a legal action had
been begun in Brooklyn, N. Y., which recog
nized two women as claiming to be widows
of the late Sin lair, of Catonsville.
The Sinclairs have been moving in the
(highest society in Baltimore, <an<j tbe
statement that another woman besides
Mrs. Phoebe Sinclair, of Catonsville, claimed
to be Mr. Sinclair’s widow caused much
wonder.
Mr. Sinclair came to Baltimore from
Brooklyn in 1871. He had been in the hemp
and wooden ware business in New York.
Shortly after his arrival here he succeeded
General O’Donnell as president of tlie Con
solidated Gas Company. About fifteen years
ago, it is said, Mr. Sinclair was divorced
from his first wife and a few years later
married Mrs. Phoebe S. Tay?>r, the
daughter of Colonel Coleman, the owner
of the Carrollton hotel, of this city. While
separated from his first wife, but before
applying for a divorce, Mr. Sinclair pur
chased a property in Florida and gave it
to her. It is stated that the first Mrs.
Sinclair died there three years ago. Mr.
Sinclair died last July, leaving an estate
valued at $1.7U0,!M.m. He left no will and
half of that amount will go to his widow.
Mrs. Phoebe Sinclair, the second wife
and widow, who lives at Catonsville.
The estate has been in the hands of the
administrators for over two months. Mr.
Sinclair left a number of relatives in
Brooklyn who are heirs to half the estate.
A special from Jacksonville tonight says:
"William Sinclair married Rosalie Perpall
about eighteen years ago. The Perpall fam
ily is one of the oldest and nest known fam
ilies in Florida. Mrs. Sinclair was a devoted
Catholic, and it is said*lh:it that was the
bon*' of contention that caused a separation
in ISSO.” e , z .
Once I.iveil in !’’«•-
Mrs. Rosalia Sinofi..- Octooer 29,-Govei
Aastine for seopinion
believed that she was very wealthy. In 1888
she went to Atlanta. Ga., and her friends
hero lost track of h» r until three years
ago. She was then taken to a hospital in
St. Augustine, where she died after a few
weeks’ illness.
Just before death Mrs. Sinclair wrote a
will, bequeathing property, which she val
ued at to Catholic institutions, but
only about sL>,u<iO worth has been found.
The physician who attended Mrs. Sinclair
in her 1 ist illness and .also witnesse-t the
a ill, says the lady’ was undoubtedly of
unsound mind. F. E. Perpall, of St. Augus
tine, was made executor of the will and
represents the other seven heirs in tills
state. The attorneys claim that no divorce
was obtained by Mr. Sinclair, at hast no
record of it has been found in New York,
Maryland or Florida, ami that their clients
will be able to secure one-half of the
property of the deceased millionaire.
