Should the state of Georgia win the
ucond and Anal phase of the suit pend
ing In the supreme court of the United
State* against the Tennessee Copper
Company and the Ducktown mines It
sill probably result In the Federal au
thorities forcing 180,000,000 worth of
copper 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
ers.
This case of 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
has 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
(Pointa 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.
The itnal hearing of the case Is set
for February 25 next. The state asked
for a' temporary restraining order,
seeking to have the smelters closs down
until the final hearing was completed.
This restraining order was denied. It
Is believed that the court assumed that
little would be gained by allowlng sucb
an order, as new vegetation usually
does not show untir about the middle
of Marctv'and little remains to be killed
at this season.
A Famous Suit. .
This suit was-filed against the Ten
nessee Copper Company about a year
ago by'Attorney General John C. Hart,
u ho ims been depending wholly upon
J.lgon Johnson, of Attanta' ln charge of
the litigation. Mr. Johnson has been
warmly congratulated upon the suc
res, of his efforts In securing this im
portant decision, which will mean a
great deal to • the copper mining Inter-
v«t' 1 of America.
The property at. Ducktown Is esti
mated to 'be worth only about 55,000,-
000, white that In and near Butte,
Mont..'la said to be worth at‘least
860,000,000. The government sent Its
experts to Ducktown soon after the
suit was brought and an Investigation
was made of tho effects of the fumes
on plant life. A full report was mads
to the bureau of statistics at Wash
ington and will he used In probable
future cases.
These same expects have gone to
Butte, Mont., to make a similar Investi
gation In that territory. Fcr miles
around the Butte copper smelters 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 the 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 Anal 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 wilt be far-reaching
and the result will be watched with
interest.
LITTLE “SPLITTING”

Smallest State Witnesses
Greatest Election in
Its History.
‘SOME MID-WEEK SPECIALS
Look ’Em Over. You Can’t Match ’Em.
HI
Providence, R. I., Nov. 8.—With the
weather dear and cold, election day In
Rhode Island Is the greatest and most
enthusiastic ever known In the state.
Mayor James 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 be
a mighty rebuke to the ring rulera who
have held the state house In their dead
ly grip for years."
Judge Robert Fitzsimmons, chairman
of the Democratic state committee, was
the 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 carry the whole ticket with
him. There Is no doubt of that; even
our friends, the Republicans, admit It
now. The Democratic party will also
send a majority to the legislature, cap
turing the grand committee and the
junior senator front 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.tn., so that It will be well Into the
night before the returns begin to come
In. .
TREMENDOUS VOTE
POLLEDIN CHICAGO
Independence League Makes
Great Effort To
Win Out.
Chicago,. Nov. '.8.—A tremendous
vdte Is being polled in Chicago today,
where state, county and judicial can
didates are- to be elected. Indications
are that out of * total .registration of
344,246 In the city.and suburbs over
300,000 votes will be cast.
The entry of the Independence
League into the tight Is responsible for
the exceptional interest In the election
and the strength being shown by the
ticket at the polls today Is easily the
feature. A lesser feature which tended
to greater Interest Is the fact that
In addition to sheriff and the usuat
county officers to be chosen at today's
election, there are twenty-eight judl
eta! Justices who, constitute the new
court which will supplant the old Jus
tice courts system and all justices.
The Independence League, with, two
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
ing throughout.
BIG VOTE IS SURE

In the election held through
out the utato 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 tho voter, as a
nomination practically means an
election.
The candidates for congress
have done but little campaigning,
owing to the lack of opposition.
Election day In Georgia doei not
carry much significance or especial In
terest.
Tuesday, whlls great struggles an
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 anfwhere,
the vote Is likely to bo very light
Georgia does not differ from other
states fn that voters will not go to the
polls unless there is a contest among
candidates. Down In 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 he will sit back comfortably
while the voters do the refit. Congress
man Livingston Is now dean of the
Georgia delegation. The eleven con
gressmen to be elected are as follows.
In order of districts:
Gsorgla Dslsgation.
Charles Edwards, of Savannah: J. M.
Griggs, of Dawson; E. B. Lewis, of
Montesuma; W. C. Adamson, of Car
rollton: L. F. Livingston, of Newton
county; Charles S. Bartlett, of Macon:
Gordon Lee, of Chlckamauga; W. M.
Howard, of Lexington; T. M. Bell, of
GalnesvIUe: T. W. Hardwick, of San-
dersvllle, and W. G. Brantley, of Bruns
wick.
Besides the congressmen three
Judges of the court of appeals will be
elected. The three nominated on Octo
ber 3 are: Judge R. B. Russell, Hon.
Benjamin H. Hill and Arthur O. Pow
ell.
Interest In this will come after their
formal election In the naming of the
presiding judge, and the formation of
the court's work. Judge Russell and
Mr. Hill are both possibilities In con
nection 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
Grand Jury First Reader, lesson one:
To stick with a hat pin Is 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 wae turned loose..
The bill should have charged as
sault and battery,” said the court. "I
don’t think her offense constitutes
stabbing.”
Here's ivhnt she did:.On the after
noon of October 8 she was throning
chewed-up sugar cane on the floor of
an East Point car, when Conductor H.
O. Hart told her to stop. The woman's
arrest followed her refusal, and then
she come at the conductor with a case
knife. The knife was taken from her.
but she kept on fighting, and Anally
drew her hat pin and stabbed—or
"etuck” or “assaulted and battered"—
the conductor In the side, tearing out
i he pin and Inflicting a painful wound.
Ihe was forced to stay on the ear and
was turned over to County Policeman
Wright at East Point.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 8.—The

question being as to the else of the
Republican plurality. Republicans
bank on 40,000, but would not be star

but It Is unlikely that Indiana's rep
resentation In congress will be changed

although tho Democrats may elect a

of six or seven. Republicans concede
