Special to The Oeorginn.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 80.—Ben L. Jonea,
on* of Macon’s most strenuous and
most successful cltlxens, has again won
out. with the city council eleven to one
against him.
As a result of his victory, the city
treasury will receive In taxes from
$5,000 to $8,000 additional every year
from one concern.
Announcement was made today that
Me. Jones’ suit to compel the city to
collect from Major J. F. Hanson's Bibb
Manufacturing Company back taxes
fbr many years and the same amount of
taxes that Is paid the state and county,
had been settled, nnd It was settled
with Mr. Jones dictating the term*.
This means that the old contract be
tween the city and Major Hanson,
whereby the Bibb Manufacturing Com
pany was exempted from paying taxes
on Its mlllion-dollar cotton mills, It
acknowledged to be what city attor
neys for years past have declared null
and void.
Dates Many Years Back.
For years this contract has been
Rnnquo's ghost In Macon politics. Each
year efforts have been made to have
council compel Major Hanson to pay
taxes on the assessment placed upon
his mills by the assessors, but nttnr
nays have alw-ays sprung the old con
tract and council has refused to repu-
dlate It. While aldermen have admit
ted that It wasn’t worth the paper It
was written on, they believed Macon
was morally bound to recognise It, for
It Was always claimed It was made In
good faith.
The council has always taken the
position that It was not up to council to
repudiate a contract made by * former
council thirty years ago, but that If the
contract was Illegal, a citizen could
begin mandamus proceedings against
the city compelling the collection of
taxes, and In this way the city would
be relieved of the responsibility.
That citizen, however, never ap
peared who was willing to go to court
nnd pay expenses out of his own pock
et. until Mr. Jdnes decided that the
company had escaped paying taxes long
enough.
Filed Mandamus Suit.
Then he got busy. His attorneys
Died a mandamus suit against the city.
City Attorney Mlnter Wimberly, who
had told council several times that the
contract was not binding, was placed
In the position of defending a suit
against the city that he' and other city
attorneys said would make the city col.
lect taxes.
But the case never came to trial.
When that time approached It was
made known to Mr. Jones that the ofn.
clals of the Bibb Manufacturing Com
pany desired that the case be settled.
Mr. Jones was told to name the terms
and he did.
Ever since the contract has been In
force the Bibb Manufacturing Compa
ny has paid taxes on amounts ranging
from $1,000 to $300,000. For many years
the mills were assessed at about $60.-
000, when they are said to bo worth a
million. Then this year Major Han
son agreed to have the assessment In
creased to $300,000. •
All the time that taxes on a small
assessment were being paid the city
the etate and county aeeessment was
considerably larger. While the city as-
sessment was 360,000 the company was
paying the etate and county taxes on
about $700,000.
In the settlement Mr. Jones Insisted
that the city assessment be the same
as that of the state and county. This
year the company paid taxes to the
state and county on $710,000, and that
la what the city will receive taxes on,
or an Increase of -$5,000 a year. This
much will help to make up for the
$80,000 a year loet by the barroomc
going out of buslnese.
Didn’t Claim Everything.
While Mr. Jonea' eult was for the
collection of the back taxes, which It
was claimed Major Hanson's company
had not paid for many years, and which
were declared to amount to fortune,
Mr. Jones dl^l not Insist on this In the
settlement.
“Council fought this suit eleven to
one,” said Mr. Jones, "and ahowed'no
disposition to co-operate with me for
the city's benefit. When this disposi
tion was shown I did not Insist on the
paymtnt of back taxes. But I have
Shown that the contract with the city,
about which so much has been said, la
not worth the paner It is written on.
and I have caused the city to receive
taxes on the same amount aaaessed by
the state and county.”
This Is not the first time Mr. Jones
has gone into the courts for the city's
benefit. Once when he was an aider-
man council voted him down eleven to
one, and he got a decision from the
supreme court In his favor.

fice, knowing that the midnight train
for Washington would be along with
in a few minutes. At the ofllce, Ed
monson quickly notified Luther Beat-
tie, the agent. Beattie hurriedly seized
Ms signal light and ran down the track
as fast as he could, his heart In a Sut
ter In the realization that a train load
of human freight wa* rapidly bearing
down on the open switch.
It I* some distance from the little
Doravllle depot to the end of the elding,
and, although Beattie ran himself al
most out of breath, he could not com
pete with the swiftly flying fist mall,
nnd lost the race. While still some dis
tance from the open switch, the frantic
agent heard the ahrlek of the engine
whistle of No. $6 and saw the big
electric headlight on the ponderous lo
comotive suddenly come Into view.
With cold drop* of perspiration ooxlng
from hi* bared forehead, the agent
ildly waved his red light to and fro
•roes the track, but to no avail. He
was too late.
Crashed Into 8idlng.
The next Instant the rumbling train
took the aiding and a terrlSc crash fol
lowed. as the big engine tore Ita way
Into the empty freight car* and con
verted them Into, kindling wood.
The train hod Just passed Chamblee,
about * mile this side of Doravllle, and
Engineer Askew bad It under good con.
trol. The approach to the siding is a
long atretch of straight track, and. In
the brilliant Illumination of the electric
headlight, the engineer could see ahead
of him the open switch. At the same
moment he discerned the swaying Ball
of red some distance beyond, signaling
to him the danger. Askew reverted hi*
engine’s* quickly as possible, but not
in time to prevent the wreck. As the
awakened by the shock and knew noth-
ing of the accident at all, sleeping
soundly during all of the time of the
delay. The Pullman* were able to
proceed on the Journey to Washing
ton. and It is probable some of the pas
sengers did not leurn of the wreck until
Wednesday or possibly will not know of
It until they read the account in the
newspapers.
It was at first thought several peo
ple had been killed and the Atlanta of
ficial* of the rood were promptly notl-
Hed. The wreck train was Immediately
hurried to the scene, carrying Dr.
Thomas H. Hancock and Dr, J. D. Man-
get. Southern railway surgeons. They
gave Immediate attention to Engineer
Askew and he was brought hock to At.
lanta by the physicians at 4:30 o'clock
Wednesday morning and sent to his
home three miles from the city, on the
Hapevllle road.
A relief engine wee also sent to the
scene. The two Pullmans were pulled
back to Chamblee and were then taken
on to Washington. As the wreck wa*
on the siding tho main line was blocked
only a short time. The wreckage was
all cleared nwny Wednesday morning.
