Should the state of Georgia win the
l( ., ond and final phase of the ault pend
ing in the supreme court of the United
states against the Tennessee Copper
Company and the Ducktown mines It
will probably result In the Federal au
thorities forcing $60,000,000 worth of
copp‘*r mines In and about Butte,
Mont., to close down or adopt some
plan to prevent the destruction of veg
etation by the fumes from the smelt-
Thts case iof the state against the
Tennessee Copper Company Is unique
in that It is the first time in the his
tory of the United States that a state
lias been given the right to sue an in
dividual. and in the decision handed
down Monday an important precedent
was set when that tribunal held that
(Jeorgia had a right In its sovereignty
to enter the supreme court to secure
the suppression of the fumes of smelt
ers located at Ducktown, Tenn.
'Hie final hearing of the case Is set
f.»r February 25 next. The state asked
for a temporary', restraining order,
.-Peking to have the smelters close down
until the final hearing was completed.
This restraining order was denied. It
is believed that the court assumed that
little would he gained by allowing such

A Famous Suit.
This suit Wi£s filed against the Ten-
nwsce Copper Company ubout a year
ago by Attorney General John C. Hart,
who has been depending wholly upon
l.lg«n Johnson, of Atlahta, In charge of
the litigation. Mr. Johnson has been
marm1.v congratulated upon’ the suc-
<<•-* «*f his efforts In securing this Im
portant decision,, .which will meqn a
great deal to the. copper miping inter
ests «*r America. •
The property at Ducktown Is esti
mated to be worth only about $5,000,-
000, while that In and near Butte.
Mont., Is said to be {worth at least
$60,000,000. The government sent Its
experts to.Ducktown soon after the
suit was brought and an Investigation
was made of the effects of the fumes
on plant life. A full report was made
to the bureau of statistics at Wash
ington and will be used In probable
future cases.
These same experts have gone to
Butte, Mont., to make a similar investi
gation in thdt territory. For miles
around the Butte copper rnneltecs there
is not a blade of grass or a green leaf
of any sort so thorough has the pois
onous fumes done their work. Should
any action be taken by tho Federal au
thorities the stock market will be af
fected through Amalgamated Copper,
one of the most Important stocks quot
ed on the New York Exchange, and
other mining Interests now on the
boards.
The status of the case at present Is
wholly In favor of the state winning
out In the final decision. It only re
mains for Attorney Johnson to prove
Injury. The result of the Investigation
of the Federal experts and the data
collected by them will be of much Im
portance as evidence in , the second
and last phase of the case. The effect
of the decision will be far-reaching
and the ; result* will be watched with
interest.
LITTLE “SPLITTING”
DONE BY VOTERS
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 6.—Tho weather,
coupled with the keen Interest in the
mayoralty race in the contest over the
Codd-Hutchins,, ordinance, served to
bring,’ out a big early, vote.
The ( J«<Meathpmilrp thiol todays ' elec
tion will result Itf one/pf Abe ’heaviest
votes given In Detroit, possibly exceed
ing that cast at the presidential elec
tion two years ago.
The first returns from the Republi
can districts shoifr the votes coming
in at .the rate.of one a minute,'.which
indicates that there is very little split
ting being done.

Hmullest State Witnesses
Greatest Election in
Its History.
Provident*, n. I. Nov. 6.—With the
weather clear and cold, election day in
Rhode Island Is the greatest and most
enthusiastic ever known In the state.
Mayor Janies H. Higgins, .of Paw
tucket, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, said today after he had cast his
ballot:
“I am confident of victory. I have
never doubted it since the beginning,
and now I feel more confident than
ever. The great vote that will be poll
ed for the Democratic ticket will bo
a mighty rebuke to the ring rulers who
have held the state house’in their dead
ly grip for years/’
Judge Robert Fitzsimmons, chairman
of the Democratic state committee, was
tlie first to cast his vote in his home
town of .Lincoln. He said:
"Mayor Higgins is going to be elect
ed governor by a splendid majority,
and he will cany the whole ticket with
ldm. There is no doubt of that; even
our friends, the Republicans, admit it
novy. The Democratic party will also
send a majority to the legislature, cap
turing the grand commltteo and the
junior senator from Rhode Island will
be H. I. Goddard, Democratic.”
The polls opened at 7 o'clock in the
cities, and will remain open until 7:30
p.m., so that It will be well Into the
night before tho returns begin to come
In.

TREMENDOUS VOTE
POLLEDJI CHICAGO
Independence League Makes
Great Effort To
Win Out.
Chicago, Nov. 6.—A tremendous
vote Is being polled in Chicago today,
where state, county and' judicial can
didates are to be elected. Indications
are thgt^out. of a total registration of
344,246 in the city ajul. suburbs over
300,000 votes will be cast.
The entry of the Independence
League into the fight Is responsible for
the exceptional Interest in the .election
and the strength being shown by tho
ticket at tho polls today is easily the
feature. A lesser feature which tended
to greater Interest Is the fact that
in addition to sheriff and the usual
county officers to be chosen nt today’s
election, there are twenty-eight judi
cial justices who constitute the new
court which will supplant the ol$ jus
tice courts system and all justices.
The Independence League, with ;wo
detective agencies and an army of
watchers, has acted as a big check on
fraud; The present Indications are. that
If the Independence League does not
win it will at least make a strong show

Chamberlin-Johnson DuBose Ce.
In the election held through
out the state Tuesday there was
but little interest and a very light
vote cast. Besides the election of
eleven congressmen and three
judges of the court of appeals, the
only other names voted for were
for local offices, and in most
places the candidates were with
out opposition, as were the con
gressional and judicial candidates.
It was because of the lack of op
position to the Democratic nomi
nees that there was so little in
terest taken by the voter, as a
nomination practically means an
election.
The candidates for congress
have done but little campaigning,
owing to the lack of opposition. :
Flection day in Georgia does no^
carry much significance or especial in
terest.
. Tuesday, while great struggles are
going on*In New York, Illinois and
over the Union, Georgia Is simply go
ing through the formality of electing
eleven congressmen and three appellate
judges.
Due to lack of contest anywhere,
the vote Is likely to be very light.
Georgia does not differ front other
states In that voters will not go to the
polls unless there Is jn contest among
candidates. Down Jn the First dis
trict Charles Edwards. the Democratic
nominee, Is opposed by a Republican,
but there isn’t the slightest apprehen
sion as to the result. Georgia's dele
gation will remain solidly Democratic.
Here in the Fifth Congressman Liv
ingston is without any kind of oppo
sition, and ho will sit back comfortably
while the voters do the rest. Congress
man Livingston is now dean of the
Georgia delegation. The eleven con
gressmen to be elected are as follows,
in order of districts:
Georgia Delegation.
Charles Edwards, of Savannah; J. M.
Griggs, of Dawson; E. B. Lewis, of
Montezuma; W. C. Adamson, of Car
rollton; L. F.' Livingston, of Newton
county; Charles S. Bartlett, of Macon;
Gordon Lee, of C'hlckamnuga; \V. M.
Howard, of Lexington p T. M. Bell, of
Gainesville: T. \V. Hardjvlck, of San-
deravflte, rind W. G. Brantley, of Bruns
wick.
Besides the congressmen three
judges of the court of appeals will lie
elected. The three nominated on Octo
ber 3. are: Judge B. B. Bussell, Hon.
Benjamin H. Hill and Arthur G. Pow
ell.
Interest In this will come after their
formal election in the naming of tho
presiding judge, and the formation of
the court’s work. Judge Bussell and '
Mr. Hill are both possibilities In con- I
nectlon with the presiding judgeship's
place.
It Is probable that Georgia will not |
cast over 50,000 votes Tuesday.

TO STICK IS NOT TO STAB;
NEW DECISION OF COURT
PLURALITY OK 1 .Yu,non
CLAIMED FOR HBARST
Continued from Pago One.
Grand Jury First Reader, lesson one:
To stick with a hat pin l\to assault
and batter, and not to stab.
An indictment on which Rosa White,
a black woman, was tried before Judge
Andy Calhoun Tuesday, charged with
stabbing, and she was turned loose. -
“The bill • should have charged as
sault and buttery,” said the court. ’’I
don’t think her offense constitutes
stabbing.”
Here’s what she did: On the after
noon of October 8 she was throwing
chewed-up sugar cane cm the floor of
an East Point cur, when Conductor II.
O. Hart told her to stop. The woman’s
arrest followed her refusul, and then
.she came at the conductor with a case
knife. The knife was taken from her,
but she kept on fighting, and finally
drew her hat pin and stabbed—or
“stuck” or "assaulted and battered”—
the conductor in the side, tearing out
the pin and inflicting a painful wound.
Hho was forced to stv/ on the car and
was turned over to County Policeman
Wright at Fast Point...

by from 25 f ooo to 75,000. Republican
managers are loath to give out figures,
but it is known they count upon a
plurality of 35,000 for Thompson for
secretary of state. The Democrats,
who now .have but one congressman
from tni* state, expect to make a gain
of six or seven. Republicans concede
four.
Democrats are counting on the feel

the people at the Dayton convention to
help swell the Democratic vote.
