Special to The Georgiau.
Gadsden, Ala., Nov. 5.—The Evening
Journal of tills city, probably the only
dally paper In the Southern states
which Is owned and edlted by Northern
men, one being from Ohio and the oth
er-from Indiana, comes out In Its Issue
Saturday In a strong double-column
editorial urging the Democrats to go
to the polls and vote Tuesday and says
In part:
“We believe that thle Is a, white
man's country, that in It he must be
supreme, and that his welfare and do
mestic tranquillity can only be secur
ed by eliminating, once and forever,
the -negro aa completely from our po
litical life, as he has always been from
opt domestic life—that In no other way
can the supremacy of the white man
and his laws be peacefully maintained
and the permanency of our free fnsti
tutlone insured. These are the prlncl
pies that Democracy stands for. These
are the things that constitute the rea
sons for the faith that Is In us—the
reasons why ws are Democrats. To us
they seem reasons sufficient for the
election next Tuesday of a full Demo
cratic ticket, and we believe that thle
will he done by an overwhelming ma
jority.”
Its position is all the more significant
when It Is known that this county la
about the only one In the state which
has a full ticket in the Held by the Re
publicans for all the county and stBte
offices and a Republican candidate for
congress In tho Seventh district oppos
Ing the Democratic nominee.
The respect and retard felt for J. M.
High, for many years a conspicuous'
figure In the commercial life of At
lanta, was well attested Sunday when
many relatives, friends and former em
ployees gathered at the residence of the
late merchant, 528 Peachtree street, to
pay their final' tribute to the memory of
a friend and employer.
The funeral was one of the largest
ever held In the city. In addition to
being attended by many of the promi
nent citizens, 250 employees of the J,
M. High Company dry goods firm, after
marching from the headquarters of the
firm on Whitehall street to the High
residence, formed an honorary .escort
to the body of Mr. High as It was car
ried to the grave.
The funeral ceremonies at the resi
dence were conducted liy Rev. R. O.
Filnn, pastor of the North Avenue
Presbyterian church, and a personal
friend of Mr. High. Rev. Mr. Fiinn
Is the first pastor of this church, of
which Mr. High was one of the original
founders and supporters. -

Bose and W. T.- Gentry.
Mr. Gray, chairman of the two com
mittees, said the committee on selection
will invite proposals from persons own
ing land suitable for the erection of
the new building. The lot should con
tain at least 40.000 square feet and be
within a half mile of the center of the
city. All satisfactory oilers of eligible
sites will be reported to the general
committee, with recommendations to
any particular lot that In the opinion
of the sub-committee Zliould be pur
chased.

MAIER & BERKELE
Special to The Georgian. ■
Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 5.—A small
sensation was sprung In the Inquiry
which was held In the office of the
county court clerk as to the alleged
;>rivllege license delinquency of eleven
foreign and local concerns doing busi
ness In this city, when It was claimed
that the Armour Packing Company had
receipts for licenses xvhlch had baen
paid to Oscar T. Peeples, former attor
ney for the state revenue agent, and no
record could be found that the money
had been turped Into the county court
clerk's office before W. P. Hays took
charge.
State Revenue Agent A. S. Birdsong
held that these concerns were delin
quent. at least some of them, four or
five years. A hearing was set and the
cases were being heard when this was
sprung. The revenue law provides a
lax of 8250 pet- annum tor such con
cerns. All of the concerns excepting
Swift & Co. agreed to pay the tax, but
it ls understood that Swift & Co. will
fight the mutter through the courts.
Before the hearing 8. II. Chambliss, at
torney for the state revenue agent, no
tified Mr. Peeples, who now resides In
Cartersvllle. Ga.. to be present, but he
did not appear.

of operatives will be out of work until
the situation Is relieved.
