Mr. Walter Taylor, Atlanta, Ga.:
My Dear Sir—l notice with much
pleasure your efforts In behalf of pro
tectlng our people from polluted meat,
lln this connection I want to relate a
circumstance coming under my Imme
diate observation.
While visiting In the state of Iowa
four years ago) a friend carried me ten
miles In the country to see some 2-
year-old steers be was fattening for
market. These steers averaged .1,100
pounds, were uniform In color, and
from all outward appearances I could
see nothing but perfection In every par
ticular. The owner drove them Into
the shipping point the same week, and
to keep them up to their full stand
ard, only required them driven about
two miles an hour.
I was present when they were driven
In the pen for shipment to an Eastern
market, and noticed that seven of them
were singled out and driven Into a sep
arate pen. and I very naturally In
quired why they were left out, receiv
ing a very frank reply, that they would
not pass inspection In an Eastern mar
ket, but would pass ,alt right for the
Southern market, and would go to Kan
sas City for slaughter, while the others
would go to Chicago, thence to the
East.
These seven head, to my eye, looked
quite as perfect as the remainder, and
on Inquiry I learned they had a disease
called lump jaw and would be con
demned In Chicago. I Immediately no
tified one of our leading dally pnpers,
making them to take the matter up, and
ventilate the fraud upon our people,
but nothing was ever printed or said
•bout It. Yours very truly,

Mr. Walter A. Taylor, Chairman Meat
Inspection Committee, Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear Sir—I regret to learn that there
has been some opposition to the pass
age of the ordinance drafted by your

deeply Interested In this matter myself,
and am surprised that any cltlsen who

would protect the city from unclean
or unwholesome meat, and am glad to

Reign of Terror Near.
Every sign points to a period
bloodshed In Russia such as has not
been seen since the days of the reign
of terror In France. It Is significant
that women, many of them young glrla,
are selected as the executioners of
these officials condemned to death
Thousands of educated young women
are crying for vengeance for the In
sults and cruelties heaped upon their
sisters and are at the call of the ter
rorists.
Oeneral Min, next to General Tre-
poff, has been one of the most hated
men In Russia. He and his regiment
on more than one occasion have been
sent to suppress disorders, and he has
performed hts task with such bitter
severity that It Is alleged hts own sol
diers have threatened to shoot him on
the first opportunity.
Widow Seizes Slayer.
The general was reluming from the
capital to his summer residence at Pe-

had Just been greeted by his wife and
daughter at the Peterhof station, when
the girl approached from behind and
fired two shots Into his back. He sank
to the platform and the girl, leaning
over him, llred three more shots Into
his body.
Further shots were prevented by

JE WS CAST OUT OF CHURCH
EDITOR WHO SLANDERED
Dy Prlrnto I,n»iwl Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 27,—Declared a rene
gade, a dtflgracf to hta race* and faith,
and a treducer, Joel Llebltrtg, editor
of the Jewish Dally Preen, wan excom
municated and pronounced an outcaat
by delegates representing every ortho
dox Jew synagogue and temple In
Chicago yesterday.
In the renolutlona which declared the
editor an outcast. It was voted that
the name anathema should descend on
whoever might befriend him. Further,
It wan decreed that copies of the reso-
luttonn should be sent to every Jewish
community In the world. Following
the adoption of the resolutions the
question of putting Ltebllng outside the
pale of the church was taken up. Rab-
bla Kpsteln, Brndy and Hamburger
consulted the law and the prophets to
decide whether the offense with which
he was charged would warrant such a
course.
It wan decided that the excommunt- 1
cation would be proper, and after the
regular forma In the ritual of Jewish
worship had been performed; It was
announced by Rabbi Epateln that "In
the name of God and by the authority
of the assembly of Jewish congrega
tions," one Joel Ltebllng was read out
of the synagogue and the fellowship
of all orthodox Jews. The excommu
nication does not affect his wife and
son, as they Are declared to be Inno
cent parties.
Llebllng, aa the editor of the Jewish
paiwr, was accused of slandering re
spectable uml even noted persons of the
Jewish race, as u remainder that it
would be well either to advertise In
or subscribe for his Journal. A tew
months ago he was said to have been
horsewhipped by Miss T. Welnsakcr
for alleged libelous and scandalous
statements. Finally, It was charged,
he called a rabbi, for 15 years one of
the most respected In the city, a de
generate and a drunkard. This last
charge was the cause of the most In
tense resentment.

There Is but one ray of light In .the*
■gloomy horizon for the pass user. The
Interstate law takes no cognizance of
a trip within the boundaries of a state
and the roads are free to use their
own discretion In such matters. Wheth

the act by Issuing passes to the etate
line and from state lln* to other points

le still In doubt. But It Is certain that
the railroads, never prone to grant a
pass where thla could be avoided, will
strain no points to give a free ride tu
any but those high In authority.
The law against passes will If closely
Interpreted force the railroads to pay
transportation for their own traveling
agents, when they travel over other
roads unless such agents can be con
sidered "officials" of the companies. It
deprives the fnmllles of all employees
of their accustomed free tripe during
the eummer. It prevents the granting
of passes to promoters of excursion
parties In return for their servlet
great army of deadheads must
to pay or stay at home, and the army
has been growing. It Is a proverb with
railroads as with theaters that one
who has once secured a pass will never
be content to pay hie way again. But
some of them must learn.
Reduced Rates Stopped.
Not- only free passes but reduced
rate tickets under certain conditions
are cut off. The railroads posted an
order Monday that no more half-rate
tickets in cases of distress would be
Issued unless the request were accom
panied by the certificate ot a reputable
physician. Clergymen, who have been
accustomed to traveling at half price,
must pay full fare. The blow falls
alike upon the just and the uhjust.
But the all-wise congress In Its de

one exception. It permits the officials
of the Standard Oil Company to re-

ALTERNATE 8ENATOR8HIP
RACE CREATE8 INTEREST.
Special to The Georgian.
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 27.—In the
general primary election being held In
Alabama today the contest for what Is
known as "alternate senator" hae at
tracted as much attention as the ruber-
natorlal race. In fact, this race, which
Is for an entirely new and unheard of
honor, has caused considerable com
ment In Georgia and other states of the
South. The place was created by the
stale Democratic* executive committee
at its meeting In Montgomery In Jan
uary, when It adopted plant to govern
the primary. The place, which was
created because of the fact that the
legislature meets only once every four
years In this state, and because the leg
islature which will be elected Monday
will bercaUed on \4 elect the successors
to Senators John T. Morgan and Ed
mund W. Pettus, was dubbed as th*
office of "senator In waiting" when first
created. Senator Morgan's term ex
pires In the United 8tates senate March
1907, while that of Senator Pettus
ends March 4, 1909. By what has the
appearance of the common consent of
the people of Alabama, Senators Mor
gan and Pettus* have lifetime posi
tions.
Have No Opposition.
In Alabama It seems to be a political
mistake to dare mention opposition to
either of these venerable men. They
are without opposition In the coming
primary, and If they live until January
1907, when the new legislature meets,
they will be re-elected by a unanimous
vote. But In the meantime the scram
ble Is for the place of one or the other
or both In the event there Is one or two
vacancies. The two "alternate” sena
tors will simply have v *pty honor* un
til they have the privilege of stepping
Into the shoes willed them by either
Morgan or Pettus. Under the rule of
the primary the candidate getting th*
largest vote will get the first vacancy.
The next highest vote will land the sec
ond candidate. This means that If one
of the venerable men should die the
legislature would be morally obligated
to elect the "alternate" aenator nomi
nated Monday, and In the event th*
legislature Is not In session the govern
or will be under obligations to name
the "senator In waiting.”
The law .provides for passes for offi
cial a of “common carrier*,’’ and In an
other paragraph the Standard Oil Com
pany 1* made a "common carrier." The
suffering public may console Itself that
when John D. and hla family take a
pleasure trip It will not neceaearlly add
cent to the price of oil
