BOARD IS SILENT;
RUMOR IS ACTIVE
AT THEJTY HALL
Water Commissioners Will
Not Talk About In
vestigation.
Municipal circles have been awaken'
ed to treat Interest b>> the Inveatlga
tlon of the water work* books by I
special committee appointed at the reg-
ular meeting of the water board Wed
nesday afternoon.
The special committee, composed of
J. B. Harwell, D. N. McCullough and J.
D. Turner. It Is believed will go over
the books In person or have an expert
accountant to do the work.
This, however, Is only a surmise, as
those composing the committee refuse
to say what their plans are. The ut
most of secrecy Is being maintained.
Alderman Harwell stated Friday that
Hr. Turner was chairman of the spe
cial committee, although It was previ
ously understood that Mr. Harwell was
chairman of the Investigating commit
tee. and that Mr. Turner was chairman
of a special committee that reported at
the last session of the commissioners.
This committee among other things re
voked the rule alowlng employees to
purchase coal at the pumping stations,
reported that a bookkeper was not
needed at the pumping station and re
voked the rule allowing the officials
of the water works free water when
stationary gauges are kept In their
homes. This latter Is a long-time
standing rule and revoking It created
some surprise. The report was ac
cepted.
Mr. Turner stated Friday that he
would not make public any of his plans,
that his committee had already made
an Investigation, and that the report
would be presented, but he would not
state when. It Is probable that he was
speaking of the special committee
above mentioned.
Because of the secrecy which Is be
ing maintained, city hill Is agog with
rumors that something is wrong In the
department.

Moultrie, Oa., July 20.—The em

mill. near Moultrie, who went out on
strike yesterday, have returned to work
and no further trouble ls < anticipated.
Trouble grew out of the superintendent
allowing a squad of armed negroes to
force him to turn over a time check to
a negro laborer, In violation of the
rules of the company.
The white laborers resented the fail
ure of the superintendent to resist the
negroes unto death and they struck
as a result. The white men finally re-,
turned under agreement that all ne
groes should be put off the works. Sub
sequently the leaders of the mob of ne
groes were placed In Jail and the oth
ers were permitted to rteum to work
with the white men.
Three of the negroes are in Jail,
charged with Inciting a riot.

of portions of the counties of Wilcox
and Irwin, |je withdrawn from the
committee on constitutional amend
ments and be recommitted to the com
mittee on new countie*, with Instruc

lutlon by Mr. Hall, providing for the

tee, which made It Imperative for all
bills for new counties tn be sent to
this committee. Mr. Hall objected to
this bill being sent to his committee,
explaining that the new county com
mittee had at the last session heard all
the facts relative to this new county,
and had, by a vote of i to 2, voted ad
versely upon the proposition, and thle
vote was adverse to the proposition It
self, and not In comparison with any
of the new counties created.
The resolution creating this commit
tee only provided tor the creating of
eight new counties, and having per
formed their functions in that respect,
their duties were now ended. Speaking
for himself, he would be embarrassed
by this hill going back there.
Mr. Felder insisted on hi* motion,
contending thnt It was the proper com
mittee, as It had all the facts relating
tn the question. HI* motion prevailed.
