DECLARES DEMOCRATS ARE SOLIDLY FOR HIM Patterson Was Aided Greatly by Irregularities in Pickens. Witness Asserts. Judge Newt Morris took the stand ' In his own defense. wide" oath, before ♦ I-,.- state Democratic committee this | morning immediately after the commit- I - v.as called to order by Chairman H . Is. to resume the hearing in the Biu.' Ridge judgeship contest. Tne judge spoke in deliberate and ; tones, denying in full all the '■h,.:ges heaped upon him by the pros ecution. Itidg.

Says Republicans Cause All the Trouble. Morris said .ht trouble in G : 11 . ' ' ill-y is that the Republicans in Gil .ii'". - try to run the politics of the Den.- or ats, and when they are not allowed to do it. they get mad and charge fraud. The judge claimed that 90 per cent n f the Democrats in Gilmer were for Morris, and that such was a notorious fact in advance of the primary. Judge Morris undertook then to show by figures that had Patterson received every uncast vote on the entire regis tration list in Gilmer, regardless of the fact that many of them would have gon.- to Morris. Morris still would have ■ ■eon a victor over Patterson by not • ss than 65 votes. The judge then departed somewhat from the main issue and charged that Pickens county, in which not more than a few hundred Democrats lived in any e’. <-nt, went for Patterson by 600, or o.e than enough un-Democratic vot< In Pickens alone to offset all un-Deni o atic votes Morris might have re ceived in Gilmer. The judge said he thought surely that li would be unfair to throw out Gilmer ” ith respect to Morris, and not throw it out with respect to Pottle and Price In the court of appeals and commis sioner of agriculture races. Declares Democrats of Gilmer Are For Him. Judge Morris ended his statement by declaring that, the fight on him in Gil mer was an old one and was fathered entirely by Republicans. He explained that the lines between Democrats and tepublicans always were tightly drawn in Gilmer, and that each side generally voted solidly, and that the solid Dem ocratic strength there now is for Mor ris. Upon cross-examination. Judge Mor ris said he did not contest alleged frauds and Irregularities in Pickens be- • ittse he considered his nomination safe without the vote of Pickens, and that it was too late, after the Gilmer county contest had been begun. I Judge Morris’ Injection of Pickens ■ county into the hearing brought forth i considerable discussion as to the rel- I evancy of the Pickens matter in the | present hearing.

Sept. 5. —Ty Cobb, the famous outfielder of the Detroit Tigers, has jumped into the national political arena. At Democratic national head quarters today a letter written by <’obb was given out in which the "Georgia Peach" says ihat, while he admires President Taft very much. "Wilson looks like a sure winner.” The lette- in full follows: "While I am a baseball player and can talk basebail, I am not fooling my self Into thinking that I know anything about tne political game. J have met all three presidential candidates and there is no finer man than Mi. Taft. It looks to me, though, that neither lie nor Mr. Roosevelt lias any chance. Every where I go the people are talking M ilson. and he looks to me like a sure winner. 1 am just sizing things up from the blcaciiei.- and I do not con tend that my judgment is worth a cent, but around Detroit and in Washington and Chicago it looks to me like Wilson is away in the lead. It looks as if be was sure to carry Michigan. "He is a fine man and he talks straight, too. and he looks to me as if he will make a great president.” : Aiken S-C is Afraid to Prosecute Beach For Assault, Says Prober "If the Beach case is propped it will be because the city authorities of Aiken. S. who have been ’milking the millionaires’ so long, have yielded jto the influence of the fashionable I tourists who bring in the money,” de clared M. S. Baughn. of Atlanta, today' in discussing the report that the i charges against Frederick Q. Beach .would be dropped. Baughn. as a special agent, worked up the case against Millionaire Beach > for the Aiken tutho ities following the ! affair of last February, when Mrs. I Beach was mysteriously stabbed. It i was Bauglm’s work which led to the charge that Beach was his wife's as- I sailant. ■ "There is no doubt in my mind that Brach is guilty." said Baughn. "I got .evidence enough to prove that and am I ready to present it." i The Bca.ii scandal has renewed the old gossip which followed the sudden death of Charles Havcmeyer. the first husband of Mrs. Beach. His death was never satifactorily explained, it was aid. It is also recalled that Beach was an intimate of the Havemeyers then and was attentive to Mrs. Havc meyer. whom he married after her hus band's death.

Takes Offices in New York. TO PUNISH MEN WHO MADE HIM SCAPEGOAT Healthy and Full of Fight. He Is Now Floating New Coast Steamship Company. , NEW YORK, Sept. 5. —Charles W. Morse, the former ice king, has come back. A few short months of liberty have wrought a wonderful transformation in the man who as a convict in the Federal prison at Atlanta was pic tured to President Taft as a dying man. Now he lias re-entered Wall street, apparently as healthy and as full of fignt as he was lhe day before all his pet schemes were smashed in the 1907 panic, and from a suite of offices on the nineteenth floor of the Wall-Ex change building, at No. 48 Exchange I place, he will tty to rehabilitate the i fortune which was swept away five ' years ago. But that is not the only reason that Morse has re-entered the fight. He is ' anxious to "get even” with the men who, he claims, made him a scapegoat and sent him to jail. Can he do It? That Is the question which is puzzling the street, and also causing no little uneasiness among the powers that be. To Operate Coast Steamship Line. Morse takes possession of his new ♦ offices today, but it will probably be a ■ week or two before he begins active , operations. i It is understood that be purposes to fit the offices for a new steamship company to be known as the Morse Transportation Company. This com pany will operate along the whole At lantic coast. A preliminary movement in this direction will be the establish ment of a line between Boston and New York, for which four fine new steamboats will be constructed. Cer tificates of the new company, it was i said, arc already in the hands of the engravers. He has already secured his terminals, and it is believed that some stock has been floated. RACES RESULTS.
