SMITH’S ELECTION WAS UNANIMOUS Consolidation Is Slow Be cause of Returns Being Late From the Rural Precincts.

Peeples will be chosen. ' it Is conceded by all that Judge R. B Itussell and A. O. Powell have been elected by large majorities. Consolidation 8low. The work of consolidating the vote is very slow, owing to the fact that the returns are not In from many of the rural precincts, and as the vote Is close for some of the candidates, these returns are required to determine the results of the election.

Hoke Smith governor was practically without op position. • The largest vote was polled In coun ties where there were local contests. Amendments Carry.

Mr. Bridewell’s resignation was writ ten before his leaving nnd was sub mitted to the church through a friend last Sunday.

Mr. Bridewell took a. vacation of sev eral weeks during the past sumnfer and spent the time In Boston, It is said.

The morning session was conducted along the line held to throughout the week. The applicants were called up, asked ns to the character of their saloons, whether or not there were back doors and whether a negro or a white bar was preferred. Sam D Jones Protests. A number of protests were register ed against the saloons in sections of the city. Among the written petitions was one from Sam D. Jones. A num ber of protests were entered by the Odd Fellows. The Piedmont Lodge asked that no licenses be grunted be low Foundry street. There was a pe- titlon signed by 165 etttsens asking the same and a number of personal ap peals that this street be made the boundary, and that no beer or other saloons be licensed beyond It. The fourteen saloon licenses recom mitted by council will be considered on Saturday next at 2 o’clock. The saloons considered Thursday morning were as follows: Murray Watson, 191 Decatur, colored.

With the abolition of the office of General Superintendent McManus, Washington, a short time ago, the At lanta division of the Southern railway has been divided into two parts—the Atlnnta and Macon divisions—and the superintendents thereof made more of autocrats than they were before. In the shuffle F. J. Eagan, formerly ie superintendent of the Atlanta di vision, with headquarters in this city, has been sent to Macon to take charge of that division, und A. H. Westfall, formerly general superintendent of the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern road, run ning out of Chicago, has been brought to Atlanta. Mr. Westfall Is a man of 22 years’ experience In the operating department of railroad service and comes to the South with the reputation of being one of the most efficient superintendents connected with the roads running into Chicago. \ Eagan Is one of the youngest division sujferlntendenta in the South, but has 'made a name for himself In railroad circles. He succeeded W. N. Foreacre as superintendent of the At lanta division. Mr. Foreacre Is now located at Birmingham. C. Phillips, 352 Decatur, white. W. M. Alston, 356 Decatur, colored. W. T.

Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 4.—With sim ple, yet dignified ami Impressive c monies, the new $5,000,000 capItol of the state of Pennsylvania was dedi cated today, with the president of the United States as the orator of the day. While It was officially dedication day, was also Roosevelt day, for the president was himself more prominent In the thoughts of the vast audience than the capItol or the state of Penn sylvania. The morning wns rainy, cold nnd uncomfortable, hut notwithstanding It as announced thnt there would not be any material change In the program. Hours before the president's train w due to arrive thousands of visitors poured Into the city. • The speeches were delivered from a large grandstand, accommodating 3,000 persons, on the Third street side of the capItol. Here are some of the points In Presi dent Roosevelt's address: “The extraordinary industrial changes of the lnat half century have produced a totally new set of condi tions, under which new evils flourish, nnd for these new evils new remedies must he devised. “Many of these evils are of such a nature thnt no private effort can avail agnlnst them. These evils, therefore, must be grappled with by government al action. In some cases this govern mental action inuqt be experienced by the several states Individually. In yet others It has become Increasingly evi dent that no efficient state action Is possible, nnd that we need, through Ju dicial Interpretation nnd construction of law, to Increase the power of the Federal government. I freely admit that as regards many matters of first rate importance we must rely purely upon the states for the betterment of present conditions. “It Is our clear duty to see. In the Interest of the people, that there Is ad equate supervision and control over the business use of the swollen fortunes of today, and also wisely to determine the conditions upon which these fortunes are to be transmitted and the percent age that they shall pay to the govern ment whose protecting arm alone en ables them to exist.” O000000000000O04J0O0000000O O 0 0 PROFITS OF 8ALOON 0 O WIDOW’S LIVELIHOOD. 0 O 0 0 A rather unique stnte of afTalrs 0 O wns revealed at the meeting of the 0 0 license committee Thursday morn- O O Ing when the saloon at 520 Deca- 0 0 tur came up for discussion.

Havana, Oct. 4.—The first trouble over the disarmament of the Cuban belligerents occurred among the vol unteers at their headquarters on Fl- gueras street. They refused to give up their arms and things looked threaten ing for a time. Then Captain Pena, of the sixth police station, hurried to the scene with all the police under his command and was followed by the re serves, which gave him a total force of 40 men, armed with rifles. The vol unteers, over-awed, gave up their weapons. The substitution at the eleventh hour of Charles E. Magoon for Governor Wlnthrop, of Porto Rico, as the pro visional governor of Cuba at the sug gestion of Secretary of State Root, and in opposition to the wish of Secre tary Taft, has aroused considerable feeling. Plan to Loot Havana. General Agramonte, the chief of po lice, said last night that an extensive conspiracy among the militia in Ha vana has been discovered. They had * plotted to ring all the fire alarms at once and then loot houses. Won’t Lay Down Arms. Reports from Guantanamo are that the militia are unwilling to lay down their arms. General Perlqulto Perez telegraphed Inst Might that the militia at Guan tanamo mutinied and threatened to burn the town to ashes If It were true the Americans had Intervened. In order to save the town, he posted 1,000 .men near Guantanamo ana with 600 more encamped at one of hla es tates, close to the town. So delicate Is the situation created by the overruling of Governor Taft’s suggestion for the appointment of Gov ernor Wlnthrop as provisional governor of the Island that all American troops have been removed outside Havana, so as to prevent flaunting their pres ence in the eyes of Cubans until the disarmament of both rebels and vol unteers haa been fully completed.
