“I submit some facts herewith, and
the advocates of municipal ownership,
so far as my observation and reading
have gone, have always been willing to
face facts—Indeed, have wielded them
as their most effective weapon.
'But this question Is not solely a
cold business proposition. This coun

such magnitude as that under discus

‘business' should be considered. It Is
on this conjectural ground that the op

themselves, crying that municipal own

city politics the influence of private In

whether any given action of theirs will
Injure and offend the Influential gentle

"In the second nnd more Important

In politics, and develop the suffrage.
The great mass of the people are not
dishonest. The thdusands of readers of
your paper know this—they will not
sell their vote. But the people arc
apathetic, and Indifferently allow them
selves to be fooled by those who are
Interested. The only way to make a
boy a man Is to throw responsibility
upon him and make him think and act
for himself. The only way to develop
democracy Is to educate the suffrage

The negro sank Into a stupor Sunday
night and during Monday morning his
mind was wandering. In his delirium
he expressed the thought that he was
still In Macon.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
wounded negro appears to be gradually
sinking to death, he has not received
medical attention. His gaping wounds
have not been dressed, even with so
much as a piece of ordinary court plas
ter.
When Jailer Chastain was asked
Monday morning If he had sent for the
county physician or as to whether the
physician would come to the Tower to
look after the negro, he replied:
”1 don’t know."
People In the Jail, who had seen the
negro, agreed his condition was desper
ate, but no one seemed to know wheth
er :,n effort would be made to save his
life.
The negro has one ugly stab wound
In the top of the head, two In the back,

"This was done in Atlanta when
the owners of the gas and electric com

exchange of stock.
"It seems that Atlanta now haa an
opportunity to treat advantageously
with the gas company: and there Is a
new lighting and heating company

Is of little value. Are we going to sit

"In ten cities of this country operat

ing. there was a reduction In the cost
of lights per arc yearly ranging from
140 to 1295. Aurora, Illinois, one of the
cities In this list, reduced the cost per
arc from 3326 per year under private
ownership to 161 per year under com
plete public ownership. Already In
Great Britain 156 cities own and oper
ate their own electric plants, and there
arc about 200 other cities entering upon
the construction of municipal plants.
‘•The foregoing figures art taken from
a book on Municipal Ownership, writ
ten by Justice Seabury, of New York.
"There are several general consider
ations which Indicate that municipal
ownership would reduce the cost of
operating public utilities. For Instance,
under public ownership there would be
undisputed monopoly and a consequent
cessation of the costly war forever
raging between public Interests and
private monopoly, and between con
flicting and partial monopolies. Again,
a saving Is possible under, municipal
ownership and operation, where all the
public utilities are owned by co-ordi
nating them; frequently waterworks,
gas and electric lighting plants can be

Further Postponement of
Plea Granted at Request
of Attorney Cooper.
LABOR SEEKS DEFEAT
Petitions for commutation of sen
tence of Jesse and Milton Rawlins will
not be heard by the prison commission
on next Saturday.
After requesting the commission to
set the hearing for Saturday, Attorney
John Cooper now asks a further post
ponement, as he has other evidence
which will not be ready for presenta
tion at that time.
The postponement has been agreed
to by the commission, but as yet no
date has been fixed for the hearing.
Unless some new phase of the cases
arise to further postpone ttje hang*
Ings, set for November 2, a special date
will have to be arranged for hearing
tbe appeals for clemency.
Chairman J. 8. Turner and General
Clement Evans are In the city ready
for the meeting of the commission,
which will begin formally Tuesday
morning. Colonel Tom Eason Is ex
pected Monday afternoon.
The commission has tweq capital
cases to consider this time. One Is
that of O. W. Bundrlck, a* white man,
under sentence of death In Dooly coun
ty for murder. The other is that of
Mims Devereaux, of Baldwin, also
sentenced to be hanged soon. The
usual minor petitions will be consid
ered.
The commissioners are feeling more
hopeful now of receiving a good price
for the 500 bales of cotton raised on
the prison farm, and which has been
held for better prices. Chairman Tur
ner thinks that they will certainly get
11 cents for It, and maybe 12 cents.

TATTNALL COMES UP
WITH TWO CONTESTS
C. II. t'urnlne, of Tattnall county,.will
contest the election of J. W. Hughes
from the Second senatorial district, now-
represented by J, L. Foster.
. Formal notlre was served on Gov
ernor by A. 8. Kennedy, of Tattnall
morning. He stated that the contest
would be based on the face of the re
turns for the election Just held. This
contest will be heard by the next senate
when It convenes In the summer of
1907.
Notice was also served on the gov
ernnr by A. S. Kennedy, of Tatnall
county, that he would contest the elec
tion of Rufus J. Rogers as clerk of the
superior court of Tattnall. This rontest
will be heard by the Judge of the supe
rior court of that circuit.
The finance committee of the city
council spent three hours and a half of
fruitless labor Monday morning trying
to reach an agreement with Mayor
Woodward about the settlement of the
outstanding Indebtedness 1 of $40,000 for
the Washington street viaduct, the
South Pryor street school and the
south Boulevard underpass.
The mayor finally agreed to let the
payment for the latter two improve
ments go over until next year If the
committee could clip enough money
from other departments to pay the bal
ance on the viaduct, 319,750. of this
amount the committee found where It
could rake together $14,000, but will
have to think until Saturday afternoon
before the other money can be found.
The mayor called all the report
ers together last week and told them
that he was going out of office with
out a dollar of Indebtedness contract
ed during his administration. This
140,000 would he required to pay out,
and he Is so situated that he can tie
up all the city's money unless the
necessary funds are dug up some
where. He told the commltte that he
considered that he had made a great
concession In cutting the 140,000 In
half.
Woodward Holds Power.
The committee Is unanimous In
thinking that the mayor's position Is
Inconsistent, but they are just ks uni
form Jnt heir acknowledgement that
he has them In a position where they
can not .help themselves.
"He Just hates to give In after he
has once said he would retire from pf-
flee with a clean balance sheet,” said
one of the committeemen.
Although the deliberations were
fruitless they were not lacking In life.
From the first, heated arguments were
the order of the meeting.
Alderman Qullllan was saying that
even If the town should go dry Its
financial condition, .would not be af
fected so. much as the mayor seemed
to think when the mayor took part In
the dlsqpsslnn for the first time.
, “You cad close >tn all up if yog. want
to," said hbi honor. . “One of the pa
pers has said that this temperance agi
tation has piqued me, but It hasn't at
«'l." '
It seemed to be the opinion of all the
committeemen and the mayor, too, thnt
one of two things has got to happen
pretty soon—Increase the city tax rate
or Increase the assessment.
It was also the sense of the commit
tee tltat the state rate should be de
creased, as Atlanta was already paying
at least one-ninth of the taxes of IV
state. . •
Mr. Woodward said that he had
called up Chief Joyner, but that the
next mayor was In Dallas. Texas, at
tending a convention, and that he had
not had an expression from hltn about
carrying over some of the debts of
the present administration. It looked
to him, he said, like they Just tried
to see how much they could pile up on
him when he took the mayor’s chair.
When the committee took up the
apportionment sheet as agreed on It
found where It could clip down the va
rious departments like this:
How to Cut Exptnsss.

shal. $500; cut down Increase In police

Washington, Oct. 8.—Questions
which vitally affect nearly every sec

deepest Interest centers, are on the
docket .of the supreme court of the

In March last, after an appeal had been
granted by the supreme court.
Tern. Harwell moved that the contrac
tors on- the viaduct, school house and
underpass be paid for what they hnd
doqe to date and that the rest of the
contract he annulled. He said that
this would be better than to cripple
every department.
"As the contract wan made on what
the next council Is expected to do, It
was void anywsj*," said he.
This feeler brought on more talk,
with which the rest of the meeting w as
taken up.
In reply to the committee’s request
for a suggestion for raising the money,
the mayor Insisted that It was there
to get and that they had to get part of
It anyway.
"I am willing to reconcile, but I’m
not going to reconcile all one way,"
he said.
The liveliest passage at arms In iKfe
whole meeting was one between the
mayor and Committeeman Key. Mr.
Key was telling his honor where he
thought hla position was wrong, when
Mr. Woodward Informed the council
man that he wasn't “going to be bull
dozed.” .
“Well, you can't bull-doze me,” ra-
plled Ml.' Key.
“I'm not going to be bull-dozed by
you or .anybody else," said the mayors
"I won't stand for any" bult-dozlA
