Floyd County’s proposed Baby Bonds Cause a Sensation OLNEY’S “TWO” OPINIONS He “Went too far" with the First and Carlisle rushed Overand asked for “an other" and got it— Right now. The following from the Cincin nati Commercial Gazette is worth eading: Washington, Oct. 28.—The pro posed issue of bonds by Floyd County, Georgia, is creating more commotion in the Administration than anything that has happeued in some time. A story has now leaked out about the way in which Secretary Carlisle smothered an opinion by the Attorney Geueral because it did not suit him. As stated in the Commercial Gazette, Attorney General Olney was re quested about a week ago to for mu ate an opinion on the Georgia inquiry concerning the legality of issuing county bonds and using them for a circulating medium. This was received by Secretary Carlisle on Saturday night, and was so comprehensive and complete that it created commotion. It cov ered nearly ail the points included by Solicitor Reeves, in his recent opinion, and practically substan tiated all that Reeves held, except that it qualified the declaration regarding such bonds not being liable to the State bank tax. The Attorney General held that if such bonds bore interest they would uot be subject to that tax, but non-interest bearing bonds would have to pay the same tax as that imposed on the State bank issue*. CARLISLE GETS EXCITED. When Senator Carlisle read the opinion he siezed his uat and rush ed across the street to the Attorney General’s office. Rushing into the room he exclaimed: “You hav 0 gone too far in thia matter You r opinion was not asked as to wheth er such bonds would be subject to the State bank tax. i want you to draw up another opinion covering only the inquiries upon which I requested an opinion in my for mal letter.” The Attorney General explained that the comprehensive character of his opinion was due to his hav ing supposed his judgement was desired on the accuracy of Solicitor Reeves’ opinion. Secretary Carlisle stated that he desired nothing of that nature. The opinion was at once with drawn and the short decision yes terday given in these dispatches substituted. It is probable that the question of taxation will soon he raised ; then the opinion as first prepared but afterward suppressed, will be made public. • ACCIDENTS BY RAIL Bne Wan Killed and Twa Trains Came Together. Valdosta, Ga., October 24. —A breakman named Williams on the Georgia Southern and Florida rail road was crushed to death on a side trach here this morning while coupling cars. The cars came so close together that he was smashed up badly, and as soon as a slack was made he fell and was dragged along by the break beam, killing him instantly. Williams was regarded as one of the best men on the road and was popular. On the same road a collision oc curred in which two engines were wrecked. The passenger engine which pulled the train from Ma con was running in a side-track when a wild engine came up the track like lightning. They collided within a hundred yards of the de pot, but hurting no one. WAS IT A JOKE i If so the Time to Laugh has Ex pired. RAILROADERS RUN IN. !' Alfred Kenedy and J. M. Ward '' Bound Overon a Charge of Larceny From the Person, in Recor der's Court. Police court This morning shook’ off its accustomed quietude, and ■ displayed a slight return of its old' ' time activity and excitement, and the occasion therefor, was the trial of two stalwart young railroad 1 men, Alfred Kennedy and J. M. Ward, on the charge of “larceny from the person.” It appeared from the evidence that a crow d of railroad employees went down to the C. R. & C. depot to view the mangled body of Mr. Thompson, the man injured by tl e train yesterday, and while in the jam, one of them, Mr. Joel Collins had his pocket relieved of a hand some gold watch. Suspicion pointed towards Ken nedy and Ward, and they were ar rested, and after a preliminary in vestigation before Recorder Spul lock they were each placed under a bond of $125 to answer any in dictment found by the Superior Court grand jury. The bonds will doubtless be made today and the defendants permitted to return to their work. The explanation given by a number of friends of the young men is that they, including young Collins, were celebrating pay day and had gotten a genteel young jaglet on and that in a spirit of humorous indulgence, “just for fuu|” “a joke” the watch was ab stractedfrom young Collins pocket but subsequently its whereabouts were made known when policemen Wimpee and Logau arrested the ac cused, Thu may have been intended for a joke, but the judgment of the jokers was in grevious fault when they selected Joel Coilins as their subject. His facial expression should have warned them that he was not a “joker.” It is serious un o sadness. WOMEN WITH PISTOLS. A Sensational Shooting Match in a Mississippi Town. Meridian Miss. Oct. 25. — Quite a sensational shooting scrape oc curred at the union depot in this city last night. The parties to the affair were both white women.
