OF GIVING REBATES 1 A Valuable Lot That Can Be Had
THEY INSIST ON GOVERN-
MENT RATE OF 2 CENTS
SUte Allowed One Cent Rate.
On Decision Rests Question of
Number of Regiments.
Georgia pays one cent per mile to
railroads for handling her troops within
the stale; Uncle Ram pays 'two cents,
and upon that point largely hinges the
Issue as to whether two or thk-ee regi
ments go to the encampment at Chick-
amauga In August from this state.
Colonel A. J. Rcott, assistant adjutant
general, has been wrestling with the
roads for some week* to get the one-
rent rate allowed Ihe state. The rail
roads lo dale have failed to see It that
way. As Ihe encampment la to be held
under the auspices of Uncls Ham, then
Uncle Rum ought to pay the freight.
And since Unrle Ham la taxed Just one
cent more per traveled mile than the
state, the railroads see a tldy/llttle sum
In hanging to the government figures.
Colonel Rcott has held one conference
with Ihe passenger officials, but got
little satisfaction. The matter was de
ferred to the 20th of June, when the
Southeastern Passenger Association
will meet here to decide the Issue final
ly. Since the business of handling
Georgia’s troops would be strictly In
terstate, Colonel Rcott very righteous
ly thinks the state rate of one cent per
mile should obtain. The* railroad folk
want to make an Intra-state Issue of
It—on Just what grounds does not ap
pear.
The Flflh regiment has decided to go
to the enrampment, whether the state
pays or not. If neressnry, the regi
ment will defray Its own transporlatla
expenses. If only two regiments are
allowed the First and Second will go.
Georgia troop* will be given only nno
week In ramp—from August 5 to 12.
Kverytlilng now depends upon the
railroads—If they Insist on the govern
ment rate of two rents then one regl
ment will have to be left out. The
meeting of the passenger association
on June 2<i will finally determine It.
In addition to the national guard of
BURLINGTON MAY HAVE TO

Jury’s Verdict Based on Four
Counts—Sentence Deferred

By Private Leased Wire.
Kansas City, June 14.—Late yester

At ths Casino.
Tho capacity of the Casino at Ponce
DeLeon was again tested last night by
Ihe friends and admirers of the Wells
Dunne-Harlan Company, showing their
loyalty to the favorites In a tnoat sub
stantial manner. While "Glorlana"
may not be the best vehicle In which
this splendid organisation has aopeared
In Atlanta, the entertainment Is never
theless'* delightful one, and all who
have patronised the aummer theater
this week are receiving full value for
their money. The new recruits to the
company In principals and chorus are
made out of the propgy material, and
before the preeent engagement will
have been brought to a close their
names will be mentioned with the most
popular members of the organisation.
The musical numbers which are In
troduced at frequent Intervals ar# sll
of the tuneful sort and demand a whis
tling long after the lights have gone
out In the ruay aummer play house.
The management ha* very wisely de
cided to play the company here an
other week. The bill for next week will
be "The Night of the Fourth." by far
the best thing the company ever |iut
on. Little Chip will have one of those
comedy roles In which he has always
scored heavily. Mary Marble will also
have a congenial imrt, and Ifie chorus
will be much In evidence.
The reserved seat sale for the coming
week will be put on Friday morning,
and the rush for seats for the opening
night will certainly resemble a bargain
<l*y rush In one of the big down town
dry goods stores.
A matinee will be given Thursday
afternoon and the uaual matinee also
on Saturday.

of Wllllamaton. 8. C„ and Miss Lilian
Brown, who lived here until a short
time ago, are now In Charlotte spend
ing'the first two days of their honey
moon.
The romantic trip began In Concord
Sunday. After falling to procure a
license they left early Monday morning
for Lexington, N. C., but here they
were confronted with the same diffi
culty.
Disappointed at Lexington, the two
made thrlr third attempt at having the
knot tied by returning, and going on
to Blacksburg, S. C., where u kindly
disposed Methodist minister, after
hcurlng the troubles of th* young cou
ple, consented to marry them. Mr.

will leave today for Virginia to com-
eto the honeymoon. The young lady
is hinny friends In Charlotte. The
groom Is a well-known business man
of Wtlltnmstnn.
Their trouble all grew out of the
fact that they were not aware that pa
rental consent and a marriage license
were necessary In this state, while In
South Carolina neither are needed.

Greenuiuh, t’onn., June 14.—Undor
the auaplcea of the Daughters of the
American Revolution and In the prea
ence of a large gathering of notablea
the Israel Putnam cottage at Horse-
neck was formally dedicated today ns
a colonial museum. Governor Roberts,
tinder escort of the falhous Putnam

other state officials, army officers and
representatives of patriotic and his
torical societies of New York, Boston,
tortcul societies of New York, Boston,
Hartford, Bprlngfleld and other point*.
The cottage wns for a time the head
quarters of General Israel Putnam In
1779, and was occupied by him on the
fatuous day when he escaped from the
British by riding his horse down a
flight of stone steps cut In what is now
known ns “Put's Hill.” The house Is
thought to be 200 years old and records
show that It was standing In 1729, and
It was not v)ew then. In Its early days
It was used as an Inn, and there seems
to be no doubt that General Putnam
wns an Inmate of It on the morning of
February 26, 1779, when he made his
famous escape from a party of Tyron’s
soldiers.
