Although he chased Mrs. Daisy Crab
tree with a knife, wrecked her home,
and created a general "rough house,”
G. H. Williams, of 25 Fowler street,

passes the legislature and its signed by
the governor the principal railroads in
Georgia must put into effect a flat two
cent per mile passenger rate.

was introduced in the senate today, will
not pass and would be unconstitutional
if it did, as it is discriminatory, naming
certain roads and omitting others.
Senator Shaw, who also has been
trying to put a mileage book bill
through the legislature, would have the
two-cent rate go into effect on the fol
lowing roads:
Southern, Seaboard, Central. West
Point, Georgia Southern and Florida,
Louisville and Nashville, Western and
Atlantic, Atlantic Coast Line and the

WILSON K NOT
(EMBOSSES
Undecided Whether He Will
Pass This Point or Not in
Speech of Acceptance.
SEAGIRT, N. J., July 23.—Governor
Wilson has left Seagirt, and today is in
seclusion, writing his speech of accept
ance of the Democratic presidential nomi
nation. He will be away three days, and
possibly a week. When the governor left
here he was undecided as to whether
to attack the bosses in his speech or
to pass that issue over in favor of others
like the tariff and the high cost of living.
One element among the governor’s inti
mate advisers favors a conciliatory course
toward bosses. They have suggested that
whereas the Democratic platform con
tains no plank on the boss question, it
is not incumbent upon him to speak of
it, and that the effect of any harsh words
would be a disturbance of the present har
monious condition of the Democratic
party.
Another element, representing more
particularly admirers of William J. Bryan,
wants Governor Wilson to attack the
bosses.

ordered all suits dismissed. The Tass
leaders brought the suit, the object of
which was to have the names of Roose
velt electors taken from the primary
ballot.

plane has the exchange of courtesies
