TO OPPOSE T. M. POOLE
GET PAYING HABIT
Railroads to Discontinue
Passes When Rate Law
Takes Effect.
Urged by Friends, Mr. Mad
dox Announces for
County Board.
"Not only the letter but the spirit
of the railroad rate bill will be ad
hered to Mrlctly," »nld chairman Jo
seph Richardson, of the Southeastern
Paaeenirer Association, who returned
i Friday morning from New York, where
he attended a meeting of the leading
railroad officials and nttorneya during
the pant week. “The bill Involves al
most endless complications, but when
these have been Interpreted the rail
roads will comply with the spirit. There
was no effort at the meeting to And
loopholes through which to escape any
of the provisions of the measure,’'
Mr. Richardson would say nothing
regarding any given parts of the bill.
“The lawyer# will have to frame up
their Interpretation first," he said.
Everybody who has the habit of
riding on a pass Is interested In the
provision of the bill prohibiting their
Issuance to uny but employees of rail
roads and their families and certain
other classes. The opinions of various
railroad officials os to when the giving
of free transportation will have to
atop vary. Some railroads have Issued
circulars warning their representatives
not to give any paaaes with a time
limit extending beyond January 1, the
date specified In the Hepburn measuro
for everybody to pay for their rail
road tickets others think that no
passes should be issued after the law
goea Into effect as a whole. This Is
sixty days after Its approval by the
president, or next Tuesday, August 28.
They have therefore ordered their
representatives to decline with regrets
after that date. i
••It surely would be violating the
spirit of the bill to Issue passes to any
one after August 26,’’ aald one railroad
man. ‘The whole Intent of the bill
la to avoid discrimination. There Is
no disputing that this will be eliminat
ed, so far aa the regulation of freight
rates Is concerned, T nn next Tuesday,
but If a merchant, for Instance, hnd

a pass he could afford to undersell his
competitor Just the amount of his
ticket when they went to buy their
goods. It would be the same as con
tinuing to give rebates until the first
Robert F. Maddox, the well known
banker, ha* authorized the announce
ment of his candidacy for the position
of county commissioner to All the VB'
cancy created through declination of
the nomination by Hubert L. Culber
son, nominated Wednesday for coum
ty treasurer.
Mr. Maddox Is not In the city, but In
response to messages from many of his
friends asking permission to announce
his candidacy, he consented. So far
only one other candidate has an
nounced.
As president of the Chamber of Com'
merce and chairman of the exposition
| committee of twenty-Ave, Mr. Madd<
has demonstrated splendid executive
capacity. Aa a Anancler and public-
spirited citizen, no man stands higher
In the community.
T. M. Poole has also announced hi*
candidacy for the place.
Kontz Will Not Run.
The following letter has been
celved from Ernest C. Konts:
To the Editor of The Georgian:
My name has bfen mentioned at a
probable candidate for the place soon
lo be vacated by Mr. Hubert Culberson
on the county hoard. As Is well known
to a number of my friends, I have had
a desire lo serve the county In that
capacity, and If selected to this most
responsible position, I would esteem It
a very high honor, but circumstances
over which I have no control forbid
my entering at this time a contest—
possibly of the same kind through
which the community has Just gone,
and for which I do not desire In any
manner to be responsible. Whatever
my own ambition may be, the people
have the right to have a rest; and,
besides, such a race would demand
time and expense both of myself and
of my friends, which I do not feel at
liberty to Incur.
I wish, therefore, through you very
promptly to advise my friends and to
thank those who have so generously
promised me their support. I trust that
none will be offended at my decision.
In the premises.
Very respectfully.

"And. wliat’s more,” continued this
student of the situation, "I don’t see
how railroad# can settle claims against
them with transportation, either In
whole or In part, by the giving of free
tickets. Nor do 1 believe the ISw In
tended for railroads to give transpor
tation In exchange for anything ex
cept money. The paying for advertis
ing In the newspapers with passes
would, I believe, be n violation of what
the lawmakers Intended."
It Is said that the railroads will con
tinue to honor /innunl# Issued for the
year 1908, but that none will he Ir-
sued to any but railroad people after
thnt cl Ate. Some will Issue trip passes
until January, but others will not. The
new tariffs for the transportation of
theutrlcal companies provide that the
advance agent shall no longer ride
gratis, as he has done heretofore. This
goes Into effect on Southern railroads
August 28.

Special Cable—Copyright.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 24.—The Im
perial authorities are greatly worried
at the reports of famine .conditions
from many points throughout the em
pire. The political crisis and the fail
ure to sow considerable wheat growing
areas, together with heavy rainfalls
throughout the provinces, will make
the crop at least 20 per cent below the
average. The relief committee at Mos
cow, which has In hand the assistance
of sufferers In the famine dletricts, re
ports that crops throughout that sec
tion and food for the peasants' cattfc
lacking In the provinces of NIJnl,;
Novgorod and Kazan.
The council of ministers has ap
pointed a special commission to draw
up a bill providing for a primary
school system which ehall be opened
to all claasss of the people. The bill
Is to be submitted to the new doumo,
which will meet In November after the
elections.
A dispatch from Odessa says that
the manager of the Odessa branch of
the New York Life Insurance Company
has received'a letter demanding a con
tribution of $10,000 to the revolution
ary cause, and threatening him with
death If he refused.
The announcement Is made on good
authority that within a few days an
Imperial edict will be Issued directing
the agrarian commission to begin the
distribution of 19,600,000 acres of crown
lands and appanages. Only the forests
and lands belonging to the state will
be preserved, their valuation being
considered necessary for the future ag
ricultural prosperity of the country.
The transaction will be Ananced
through the peasants’ bank. In re
turn for the land the owners, Including
the exar himself, will receive market
able land scrip, eventually redeemable
by the peasant purchasers In Instal
ment notes designed to meet the Inter
est and amortisation. ■» „

ANOTHER STRIKE
NOW THREATENED
Special to The Georgian.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 24.—There Is likely
be more trouble In the street car
situation here. It seems that the com
pany has about sixty more men than
are necessary on Its rolls since the set
tlement of the strike, and the taking
back of,the strikers. The union men
Insist on the discharging of the non
union n\en and the company declines
discharge the men who stuck by It
the time of trouble.
Two of the non-union men, who
stuck to the company and remained
on tho cars until ordered In by tho
company, have been made Inspectors
I the place of two union Inspectors
ho Joined the strikers. This Is also
cause of friction. The company
claims that these two men were made
Inspectors because the other two had
left their posts of duty. Nothing has
been done as vet. The arbitrators of
tne former trouble are working on the
situation.

Will Clark Howell, who has been the
committeeman from this state for many
years, be deposed and another man

These are questions many are ask

Hoke Smith’s overwhelming victory
of Wednesday makes It an absolute
certainty that he will dominate the
affairs of Georgia for at least four
years, and that he can and will dictate

affairs.
It Is safe to say then that Mr. How

national committeeman In 1908.

opinion, will naauredly be the next

Lanford Didn't Catch Nsgro.
Thursday morning at 11 o’clock Ser
geant Detective Lanford left the police
headquarters In'the quietest manner
possible. The detective had secured
four of th best dogs from the officials
at the Federal prison, and accompanied
by W. C. Lawrence, the father of Mabel
Lawrence and the brother of Miss
Ethel, and a city detective, they made
their way to Ingleslde, two miles below
Decatur, where a negro who fitted tho
description of the negro wanted was
said to be.
The bloodhounds picked up the scent
without any hesitation, but as they ran
the trail became dryer and dryer and
the weather hotter. Then parties of
men who were searching for the sus-
pect crossed the negro's path time
and again, so that before night the dogs
lost the trail.
"I am as positive that we were after
the right negro as t know my own
name. Those who saw him described
him as wearing a reddish colored belt,
with red spots on It and this Is the
belt described by Mabel Lawrence,”
said Sergeant.Lanford Friday morn-
Ing;.
More than 600 citizens have been
waiting at Copenhtll Friday for the
captured negro to be brought there for
Identification. It Is said that Sheriff
Reagan Is bringing a negro to Atlanta
In order to lodge him in the Fulton
county Jail, but that a mob Is taking
care of the sheriff In order that he
carry the man to the Lawrence home.
There were rumors to tho effect that
the negro -was being brought Jo this
city In a covered wagon, that the ne
gro was already lodged In the’ Fulton
county Jail, and that the sheriff and
several trusty men were hiding In the
woods until tha excitement ceases.
DID PRESIDENT TALK
WITH BELL ABOUT WAR?
By Private l-cnocd wire.
Washington, Aug. 24.—It Is believed
here that one of the reasons General
Bell, chief of staff, made his trip to
Oyster Bay yesterday was to confer
with the president regarding possible
military operations In Cuba, should af
fairs become so serious that the United
States would hove to Intervene. Ad
ministration officials are united In the
belief that this government has the
right to Intervene now, considering the
proportions which the revolution has
attained. However, the disposition le
to let the present Cuban government
work out Its own salvation, unless
American Interests In the Island should
become unpleasantly Involved.
Intervention without a request from
President Palma would be regarded In
some quarters as a stsp toward an
nexation, nnd the administration here
Is particularly desirous that no such
Impression be created abroad. It Is
likely, therefore, that the present
hands-off policy will continue, pending
more serious developments.

ARE HURRYING HOMEWARD

New York. Aug. 24.—By the hun
dreds of Cubans who are rushing to
New York from Saratoga and mountain
reaorti on the way back to their na
tive country, the present situation in
the IRtle republic Is viewed with pro
found alarm. While expressing pub
licly the belief that the Insurrection
will be short lived and that quick pun
ishment will be administered to the
leaden of the rebellion, they admit,
when speaking privately, that the out
break la far more serious thsn appears
on the surface, and that It has the
sympathy and co-operation of many
persons prominent In business nnd pub
lic life, aa well as the lower classes.
Sobarado, of the province of Plnar

Adirondack resort, where he haa been
staying for a month, which caused him
to pack up Immediately and start for

prominent Cubans, some of whom have

whom are Identified with the Cuban
