MAKE MY FIGHT W THE RANKS, ’’—HEA RST New York, Nov. 7.—Mr. Hearst made the following atatemeot this morning on the election: „ ’in view of the result, I have only to repeat what I have said itf my .Mpeeches^ enllgte ^ Jn the control of government by the trusts and corrupt corporations, and I will light It out to the end. -But I will serve In the lead or the ranks. Just exactly as the people desire, and as earnestly and loyally In one place as In the other, ••The people have decided to retain the Republican party in power. 1 win make my light In the ranks, therefore, and. as a private cttlxen. do my best to promote the Interests of my fellowfCltlxens." TRIUMPH FOR HEARST\ DECLARES MR. BRYAN I lncutn Neb., Nov. 7.—William J. Bryan was not In a mood this morn ing for li discussion until the returns from the various states were com- nlete Concerning the result In New York he said: , 1 “The reduction of the Republican majority to 40,000, as the returns now Indicate, is a triumph for Mr. Hearst as much as If he had been elected. ‘AMOUNTS TO INSULT,’ COMMISSIONERS REPLY TO G RA N D J U RY ROAST \ ! of them are my best friends, but they i Anri A ronn were not tender with ue and I see no UOl.

The county commissioners are Indig nant at the presentment of the last grand Jury, which criticised the com mission severely. They say that the rrltlclsm amounted to Insult and at their meeting Wednesday replied In no uncertain terms. The commissioners agreed with a statement made by Colonel Clifford L. Anderson, of the commission, that the language of the presentments of the last grand Jury as affecting the acts of the commission were not oniy harsh In their criticism, but amounted to In suit. The commissioner* at their meeting Wednesday morning even refused to pay the stenographer the lit he asked for putting the presentments In type. Here Is In substance what Colonel Anderson said at the meeting: "Heretofore I have been willing to accept the criticism of the various grand Juries In good spirit, even though I did not agree with what tliey said In tftsfr presentments, but these last pre sentments are of such a character Jkat I cannot let them go without refining some of the assertions which they made, possibly In Ignorance. Amounts to Insult. In their report the last gram, jury made statements which amounted not only to criticism, but atlually to Insult. I am the more astonished at their Troup County Meeting May Be Forerunner of Movement. Boni Declared to Have Faked Up Some Evidence. "I shall doubtless retire from my present position In the Southern Cot ton Association next January."—Har. viq Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association, In The Cotton Journal. This statement appears over the slg nature of Mr. Jordan In the November 1 Issue of his Journal, it Is embodied In an article headed "A Plea for Har mony," which, Incongruously enough, Is a scathing attack on Charles S. Bar. rett, president of the National Farm- era’ Union, and R. F. Duckworth, pres. Ident of the Georgia division of the same organisation. This announcement may be taken to mean that Mr. Jordan's connection with the cotton association will be ered at the Annual election In January. And this brings to the fore the ques tlon of his successor. Tuesday’s Geor gian printed an exclusive story of the action of prominent Troup county mer chants and farmers In Indorsing Thom as E. Watson for the head of the cotton association. The action of the meeting at La- Grange has attracted widespread Inter est throughout the stale. The Idea Is taking root everywhere, and It I* the consensus of opinion that Mr. Watson Is the on* man to re-establish the as sociation In the confidence of everyone. A prominent'public man In comment ing on this, said: Tom Watson as President. "If Tom Watson esn be persuaded to accept the presidency of the South ern Cotton Association It would mean more to the organisation than any oth er one thing. However we may differ with Mr. Watson In some of his po litical views, no man who knows aught of him questions his honesty, his squareness, his big brains and hla loy alty at all times to the farming classes. With him at the head of the organ isation It would regain prestige and power. Farmers, merchants, business men, bankers, every class, would have faith In Its purposes] alms and move ments. Whatever of discredit attaches to the association because of dlsclos ure* In the speculations of Its present officials would be removed. Tom Wat son would countenance nothing of that sort It he headed the organisation, hope he wlH consent to accept the pres idency.” This feeling Is general among those who want the cotton association to continue a potent factor to the farm er In the South. Nothing ha* been heard front Mr. Watson relative to how he feels concerning this movement. The difficulty would probably lie In per suading nlm to accept the place. CONSiLTlLED AND REAL ESTATE MAN IS FATALLY WOUNDED were talking about. It they had made even a slight investigation they would huve found that the track to East Point lies entirely within the limits of the city of Atlanta and the towns of Oakland City, East ’ Point and College Park, with the,exception of nbout half a mile. The county, so they could have learned had they tried, refused to take any In itiative In granting a double-track privilege until all these towns had done so, and it would not only have been follsh, but would have prevented the public from getting the benefit of the double-track service had the county held out. Brookwood Bridge. "Now, It was the recommendations about the Brookwood bridge that bor dered on Insult. In venturing the In formation that I £ the bridge had been the property of a private corporation ,we would have forced repairs long ago, the grand Jury Inferred that this board was under the control of the Southern railroad. That, of course. Is enough to give us cause for anger. "That.bridge Is In as good condition as It has been for the past fifteen years. Instead of being lenient with the rail roads we have made It Incumbent on them as a condition of a concession dealing with the waterworks road, though that had nothin* to do with the Brookwood bridge on the Peach tree road, to build a flrat-clas* con crete bridge In place of the present wooden structure. There has, I admit, been a good deal of unnecessary delay, hut the railroad Ima had a good excuse most of the time. The last.one was harshness When 1 look at the names of shut the cut over which the bridge the men who composed the Ipxly. Some passes would have lo be widened and that Rln’t »o. Special to The Georgian. Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 7.—As a re sult of an election altercation, Robert Hamilton, a constable of North' Birm ingham, la dead'and William Thomp son, a real estate man. Is fatally wounded end George Tost, an ex-po liceman of North Birmingham, la under arrest charged with the deed. The shooting occurred at noon today, only one ball being tired. Immediately after what will doubtless prove to be a double killing, Yost called up the slier- tlt's office and said he was ready to surrender. the delay in signing certain contracts for the purchase of the necessary land had made It Impossible for them to proceed. "If the grand Jurors had made the slightest Investigation they would not have touched on this road question. Within the last seven yeah this body has built 200 mites of flrst-closs ma cadam road In Fulton county. "1 say all this Just to let off a little steam which I think has been pent up In all of us since that grand Jury report.’’ Chairman Hubert L. Culbertson and Commissioners hi V. Carter and Judge Rneaer expressed their approval of the statement. .^j)- Mr. Carter'seSlI *H grand Jury re port rroilndcd him of the truth of Josh Billings’ proverb that ,lt Is "better not to know so much than to know so notch Paris, Nov. 7.—Revelations fully as sensational as those brought out a week ago at the opehlng session! of the Cas- tellane divorce autt marked the re sumption today of the hearing of the case which .has developed one of the greatest scandals In France In recent years. It was brought out by M. Cruppl. representing the Countess Castsllane, formerly Anna Gould, of New York, that Count Boniface. In his defense, aa outlined In the documents tiled by him. makes astounding Insinuations against his wife. Forgery Chargsd to Count. Some Intensely Interesting corre spondence that passed between the count and countess after their separa tion, when Boniface was begging for forgiveness, was also referred to. one of her letters the countess referred to Bont as “stinking." Another sensational charge made against Bont, In addition to the allega tions made before that lie Is u wlfe- beater, spendthrift and too gallant, wns that one of the documents. presented by him Is a forgery. The charge ated a great sensation. Astounding Inilnu'tions. M. Cruppl announced that since the last sitting of the court Bonl’s docu mentary evidence In his defense ha* been submitted to him. The papers show that RonI In April wrote to Countess Anna saying he, too, intended to apply for a divorce. Insinuations of a most astounding nature were made ngalnst the little American woman. In threatening to Institute divorce proceedings, Bonl de clared he was acting In the Interest of their children In order to "regularise" their position and havs them reared ac cording to principles which the count ess Ignored. Bombarded With Letters. M. Cruppl read some of the corre spondence which passed between Bonl and the countess. He said the count had besieged his wife at the Hotel Bristol and followed her to Blarrlt* seeking n reconciliation. Falling to gain access to her presence, he bom barded her with letters In which lie protested his love, expressed his re- pentence nnd prayed fur dcuth If she would not be reeonclled to lilm. He re ferred In touching words to their last kl»s In January. . He continued to send letter# until’ Countess Anna imperatively command ed him to stop. In one letter she wrote literally: "I think you are stinking.’’ Lawyer Denounces Boni. M. Cruppl debited himself largely to analysing Bonl’s defense as shown In S Is papers. Thsse points are made by onl: First, he denies In toto the al legations . made against him and says the statements of servants relating to 1 hts actions are false. He Invokes hla right# os a father and also pleads the necessity of his maintaining his posi tion. M. Cruppl declared that. tills third point reveals Bonl’s whole motive put ting his case on n financial basis only. He denounced Bonl In scathing terms for his apparent determination to Insist upon a public trial of the case, which will make public all details of his nu merous alleged llasons and the nnmes of the women Involved.
