DUNBAR ELECTED
Election Passed Off Quietly,
and Only a Few Fights
Were Pulled Off.
By Private Leased Wire.
Augusta. Oa., July 1*.—JThe city elec
tion yesterday resulted In the election
of Captain William M. Dunbar, to the
office of mayor, for the term beginning
the first of January, 1*47. The oppon
ent to Judge Dunbar was Captain W. B.
Young, who waa defeated by a majority
of BO*.
Both of the candidates had put up a
hard light, and even Judge Dunbar did
not expect to get the majority that he
received. Hla supporters were looking
for about 244 majority, and when the
landslide went hla way, his friends were
overcome.
The election resulted as follows In
the different wards:
First ward, Dunbar 1*1, Young 25*.
Second ward, Dunbar 141, Young 412.
Third ward, Dunbar 141. Young 22*.
Fourth ward, Dunbar 475. Young 144.
Fifth ward, Dunbar 414. Young 458.
The total majority for. Dunbar wa*
504, which to the biggest majority that
haa been received by any candidate for
mayor In years.
There were many minor fights dur
ing the day, but none «f them resulted
In much damage to the participants.
W. A. Mattlson, .one of Captain
Young's supporters In the Fifth want,
was arrested soon In the morning for
alleged vote-buying, but he gnve bond
and continued with hto work.
The only ward that had opposition
for council was the Second, and E. I.

It to generally supposed that Preel-

the middle of April. On March 21, 1*04,
the original muck-rake speech waa
made by Mr. Jerome before a small
company composed of hto college fra

mented upon by the Eastern papers.
Assents to *n Interview.
It was for an Idea of that speech
that a Georgian reporter asked Mr. Je<
rome Wednesday afternoon, and be
vary gladly assented to an Interview on
the lines followed by him In the ad
dress which caused no much comment
In the East, lie said:
"Today all through our country we
find a case of absolute hysteria, yet no
nntlon waa ever built on a warp und

From the excited state of public opin
ion you would think our country was

and Its present use ha* corns from our
reckless use of superlatives. The sen

are a few men who bought their office,

our body politic I* guilty of treason?
To say the senate Is treasonable one
either lies or misconstrues the meaning
of the English language. The majority
of the men In the senate would not be

Phillips would.

Boykiu aud Anderson Sub
stitutes Are Both

Many Interruptions Delay
Speeches of the Father's
of the Bills.
Messrs. Alexander, of DeKalb, and
Anderson, of Chatham, held the legls-
tolatlve boerde Thursday morning, pro
and con, on the Boykin and Anderson
substitute* for the Boykin antl-buckst
shop bill.
Both- were considerably Interrupted.
Mr. Anderson spoko more at length
than Mr. Alexander, and held the floor
till, the hour of adjournment.
Close attention was given to each
of the advocates, and unless there Is
an oversupply of bottled-up oratory not
In eight, the chance* are that a vote on
the bill will be had at the afternoon
session.
The indications are that the Boykin
substitute will pass.
It prevents all dealings In futures,
the Anderson substitute excepting le
gitimate houses.
. Ths Discussion 8tarts.
The first discussion of the measure
wae provoked by the motion of Mr.
Anderson, of Chatham, that the house
resolve Itaelf In the committee of the
whole,
Mr. Mitchell, of Thomas, moved to
commit with Instructions to the com
mittee of the whole to report the bill
In 5 minutes, and atated that he made
this motion that they might discuss the
proposal of Mr. Anderson, a plain mo-
i Ion to commit not being debatable.
Mr. Hale thought resolving Into the
committee of the whole was a useless
waste of time, and meant an trftermln-
abte debate; that the measure was one
of great Importance, and ought to be
considered.
Mr. Mitchell thought this would be
a useless conaumatlon of time, and
was Inclined to regard the motion tut
an effort to delay or defeat the bill.
Mr. Anderson said that the gentle
man from Thomas was emphatically
mlstaksn-upon that score, and later he
assured Mr. Hill that hto motion waa
not made to delay, and he, too, had a
substitute to offer to the bill, aa did
Mr. Boykin.
Mr. Felder thought every member
was Interested In the bill, and a final
discussion should be had on both sides
of It.
Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, said the
measure affected very Important Inter
ests of the state, and the fullest dis
cussion should be had.
Mr. Wright said with the bill In the
commits* of the whole there was no
telling when a vote could be had It In
this committee, as the previous ques
tion could not be railed. The house
thins out on Friday, and the bill would
be Jeopardised If not passed upon to
day. A colloquy between Messrs. An
derson and Wright followed, as to the
advisability of going Into the commit
tee of the whole. The house turned
down Mr. Anderson’s motion by the
vote of 45 to 81.
The Two Substitutes.
Mr. Boykin offered a substitute to
hto own bill, and Mr. Anderson Also of
fared a substitute to the bill and sev
eral amendment* were llkowlse offered.
The real teat was between the Boykin
substitute and the Anderson substitute.
The only tnaterlal change In the ori
ginal bill provided by the Boykin sub
stitute la the elimination of section 4,
which provided that any person with
in this state who shall become a party
to any such contract nufde In another
state, or who shall aid while In this
state In furthering such a contract In
another state, shall be guilty of a mil
demeanor.
Mr. Anderson's substitute aimed to
put the "bucket shop” out, but not to
do awny with tho so-called legitimate
exchange.
Mr. Alexander, of DeKalb, said that
the supreme court had long ago de
clared theso transactions gambling,
and non-enforcable In the courts. This
legislation proposes to prohibit by
criminal statute these gambling trans
actions. Both substitutes had that end
In view. Certain Important Interests
behind the Bpyktn substitute think the
transaction* are undermining the In
tegrity of the state. Certain other Im
portent Interests behind the Anderson
substitute think that there should not
be a total prohibition of these transac
tions, but that certain dealings should
be permitted.

phia, who was found unconscious on

Ing testimony. They wanted to wring
the truth out of the accused. He did
not think the Anderson substitute could
stop these transactions. Forbidding
one class of these dealers and allow
ing another, would make the law fu
tile. he thought The taxing of these
dealers was Indefensible In morale. We
have put our hands In their pockets
and shared In these Viholy gains.
Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, followed
In defense of hla substitute, declaring
that the whole cotton trade of the state
thought It was Imperiled by this bill.
He advised conservatism In legislation
of this kind. He proposed to submit
cold, solid facts. There is need of leg
islation to abolish bucket shops, but
there to no need to pass -a law that
would hamper and Interfere with legltl
mat* businesses In this state. In re
ply to Mr. Hall, he affirmed that this
waa the first time the law had de-
flndd what a bucket shop' was. Re
plying to Mr. Wright, of Floyd, If the
gentleman from Chatham knew of a
bucket shop In Georgia, "The gentle
man knows of several,” he replied,
"there to one now In the Kimball
Hoqae, and also one In the Piedmont
Hotel, both In full blast.”
A "Legitimate Exchange."
Mr. Covington wanted him to define
a legitimate exchange, which he did,
explaining the difference between the
bona flde transactions of the exchange
and the Illegitimate transactions of the

The bill, replied Mr. Alexander,

wa* at first proposed to eliminate those
ho engaged In -hedging," but It was
the purpose to prohibit such transac
tions altogether.
Mr. Nolan Inqlred If the bill would
prevent a party from dealing with, for

Mr. Alexander said It would not.
Mr. Hall Inquired If It would prevent

Mr. Alexander explained that It pre
vented these exchanges from operating
here In the state either by some mem
bership thereof, en agent or corres
pondent.
Mr. Hall thought that parties who
bought farmers' cotton crops early In
the season, and could not go on thess
exchanges and "hedge." could not in
the future buy these crops of the farm*
ers as heretofore. The opening up of
an office was only prlma facto evidence
as provided In section 4, and only puts

go, there are thousand made through
the bucket shops. He read from Dr.
Broughton a very tierce denunciation
of the bucket shop. Mr. Anderson said
that In these bucket shops you had
about as much chance for your money
as If you flipped up on the turn of a
coin.
Replying to a question of Mr. Hall, If
Savannah was not now the third cot
ton market In the world, and what ef
fect the passage of the Boykin substi
tute would have on that city as a cot
ton port, he asserted that now they ex
port a million and three-quarter bales
of cotton, and there was not an ex
porter there but that would be ham
pered and hurt If this Boykin substitute
passed.
Mr. Longley asked how they would
be hampered, which he promised to ex-
S lain later In th* course of hla remarks.
efutlng the argument that the state
waa being ruined by these transactions,
he cited the 847,040,000 Increase In th*
tax returns last year, and the probable
additional Increase from forty to fifty
millions this year. Under this bill as
It now stands everybody Is' prevented

Men's Association had drawn the Boy
kin substitute. This brought Mr. Boy
kin to hto feet In a Jiffy, with the state
ment that every principle In this sub
stitute was In the original bill; that Mr.
Harvle Jordan of the Southern Cotton
Association, Mr. Richard Cheatham of
the Credit Men's Association, himself
nnd several friends of the measure had
conferred and agreed on this substitute
measure.
Buoket Shops and Exchanges.
"There to a wide fundamental differ
ence," continued Mr. Anderson,
tween bucket shop* and bucket shop
ping on the one hand and the legiti
mate exchanges on the other. The
latter have had to bear the brunt of
the attacks bn th* others. He read a
letter from Mr. Kincaid of the Griffin
mills to Mr. Malcolm Maclean, of
Savannah, that he had for three months
bean supporting the Anderson bucket
shop bill, to show that the gentlemen
now urging the Boykin substitute did
not know what they wanted. Even the
S entleman from DeKalb, Mr. Alcxan-
er, admitted he did not know what
‘hedging" meant.
The aim and purpose of the legiti
mate houses are that their contracts
shall be executed: the aim and purpose
of the bucket shop 1* that they shall
never be executed. He read the rule
of the New Orleans exchange prohibit
ing any of Its members from dealing
with bucket shops, except for actual
delivery of cotton, and said that ths
same rule prevailed In the New York
exchange.
Mr. Worthen, of Wilkes, wanted to
know If money wqa ever lost on the
exchange.
"Why, certainly," said Mr. Anderson,
'Just as any man would lose money if
he bought a thing too high and went
to sell It. Men hare lost money In
horses,” he said.
Legitimate Commissions.
A bucket shop concern run under
the name of Woodall had offered a man
the entire commission on the margins
to represent them In a small town, and
they would do this If they depended on
legitimate commlsalone atone. The exk
change* at Chicago, New York, Liver
pool and Bremen would continue to op
erate and their price* be accepted by
the business world Irrespective of what
ws did or thought about It. The men
who accept margins are not th* agents
of the exchanges, but your agent. Buy
ing on margin waa like buying on ao-
counl. He related an Instance where
he put a thousand margin In buying
some stock and the broker put up the
balance for him on Interest, and a few
weeks later he drew the dividend upon
that particular stock. With these le
gitimate exchangee It la always an ac
tual transaction.
He told of a farmer who had 1,744
balsa of cotton In February, 1*44, when
cotton was selling at 17 cents. He ex
ercised good buxines* foresight and
sold hto crop for that year for If cento.
.When the fall delivery came cotton we*

Senator Williams said he had put the
clause to raise the salary Into the bill
by request, but had had It stricken at
the request of the commissioner of
agriculture and the agricultural com
mlttee.

Prison Walls Were Opened
and Thirty-Five Men
Walked Out.
By Private Leased Wire.
Asheville, N. C„ July IS.—What
would have proved one of the largest
Jail deliveries ever made In North Caro.
Ilna wa* frustrated Tuesday night by
ths prompt action of Sheriff Reed.
There were thirty-five prisoners in
the Buncombe county Jail at the time,
and elaborate preparations which had
been made for a wholesale escape were
discovered during ths day by the Jailer
The attempt was made shortly after
» o'clock. Just a few minutes alter ths
sheriff had placed his deputies on guard
around the outside pf the Jail. Th#
crowd of escaping prisoners were
headed by Will Trammel, charged with
horse stealing and burglary, end
"Dock" Fowler, who was convicted
of assault with a deadly weapon. The
prisoners were met with a fusllade of
shots from the guards, and at once re
treated to their cells through the brok-
en wall of the Jail. When the sheriff
later entered the jall all the men were
lying on their cots apparently asleep
aa if nothing out of the ordinary had
happened, although there was a large
hole rut In the wall of the large cell
occupied by the white prisoners. An
other hole cut in the floor of the cell
and communicating with the cell di
rectly underneath occupied by the col-
ored prisoners. The corridor door wss
wrenched from Its hinges, and a large
hole Cut through the rear brick wall of
the Jail, at a height of about 8 feet
from the ground.
