FIXING Up THE SLATE.
KNIGHTS OFLABOR AND Liquor
DEALERS AT WORK.

Deep Laid Plans for the Mass Meeting
The Liquor Men Hanging or to see
What The Democracy win p'-The
knights to Stand by their Candidates
An Effort to Coalssce with the Liquor
Interest.
The present week will doubtless settle
an important problem in the politics OF
Chatham county. 1t will determine who
has the strongest support for the state
Legislature. The Democratic nomlna-
lions will be made on Friday night. There
has been considerable anxiety TO know
what the Knights Of Labor intend TO do,
and large part of political gossip for the
past week has been devoted to that or
ganization and to the liquor dealers.
SILENT TRAIL.
The Democratic party leaders have had
very little to say. There has been a good
deal OF talk about union between the
knights and the liquor men. but the two
organizations do not seem to pull well
together. From the present outlook there
Twill be two tickets presented. The dis
iaffected knights Will support Judge Rus
sell, l.. Z. Ashby and George A. Hudson,
and will try to induce The liquor dealers
10 come over to them.
Another element In the Labor party is
In favor of nominating the old ticket, and
will in any event support the Democratic
nominees.
NOT ALL HARMONIOUS.
There is plain cropping out of fac
tiOnal feeling among the Knights. The
liquor dealers are in quandary who
they will support, aud have about de-
cided to walt the result of Friday nights
mass meeting. The next three days Will
Itell the story. The pipe laying, Skin
finishing and filibustering of wire-pullers
is nearly If not quite over. and the leaders
have set down to serious work.
The Executive Committee OF the Liquor
Dealers Association will meet to-day to
axe some definite action.
WAITING TO SEE.
There is some gossip to the effect that il
the party nominations do not suit the
liQuo dealers they will run an independ-
ent ticket. There Is understood to be con-
siderable opposition to move OF this sort
on the part of some members OF the asso-
citation who are aspirants for county or
sity offices, and who believe that to sup
port such move would be fatal to their
candidacy for the January elections.
Conversation with the leading members
of the Knights of Labor party last night
made potent the fact that there is lack
Of harmony among them.
OUT OF THEIR PLACE.
prominent Knight said that the
anoment a mass meeting of Knights like
that at Fords Opera House last night in-
dOrses or dominates a ticket of Its own
the order steps beyond itself and goes into
politics, which it has no right to do. The
Headers in the knights have their pro-
igramme for Friday night about made up.
| Mr.. O'Neil. who figured prominently at
1.-THE July mass meeting, will present their
resolutions unless some change in the
programme is made between now and the
night OF the meeting.

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
Items Gathered Along the Track
and Crossties.


Capt. j. w. Craig, OF the Charleston
and Savannah railway was in the city
yesterday.
The Louisville Southern, of Kentucky,
has obtained the absolute right OF way
through Anderson county, and in addition
has received subscriptions amounting to
$4,000 from the people there. BOYLE
county also gives the right of way and
$4,000. The directors Of the road will,
on next Wednesday, let the contract for
building the line.
Comptroller General Wright received
on Monday the State taxes OF the follow
Ing railroads: Elberton Air Line, sos %;
Hartwell railroad, $l42 81; Northeastern
railroad, $2,006 II; Roswell railroad,
$l22 O6; Augusta and Savannah railroad,
$I2O 10; Charleston and Savannah rail-
road, S5O6 Oh; East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad, $l4,772 rs.
AS to the reduction OF passenger rates
on the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad, assented to by the trunk
lines, Passenger Commissioners Pierson
says there seems to be a misunderstand-
ing on the part of the public. The roads
reducing their rates are not members of
Inc trunk line pool but have worked In
harmony with it. The reduction was
necessary to meet the cutting OF the Balti-
NNAC NhN OhAOs ~ 10 OHiN kiCdb
for that purpose, and In no case exceeds 81.
A Vicksburg special to the st. LOUIS
Republican says: "Partles are here to-
dav to inaugurate work on the extension
OF the Georgia Pacific road from Green
vile, Miss, east to Columbus, no miles,
and from Days Gap to Birmingham, Ala,
90 miles. This will open a direct route
from Arkansas. Texas and other Western
States to Atlanta, Ga. The road has been
completed from Birmingham to Atlanta,
and from Greenville to JOnnsonyille, AS
miles. 1t Is assured that New York CAPT.
talists controlling the Georgia Pacific sys-
tenn will push the road to an early and
successful completion"
The Perry Home Journal says: ave
have been told lately that it is row the
purpose of the Atlanta and Hawkinsville
Railroad Company TO build that road to
Fort Valley, and thence, if extended
further, to Vienna and probably to Flor
ida. Our informant also told us that the
company desired to build to Perry, but
that our citizens did not subscribe lib
orally enough. In this connection we
clip the following from the Fort Valley
Mirror of last Saturday: Mr.. ii. G. Har-
ris has been very active the past ten days
In working up the Houston subscription
to our new road, and has nearly raised
the required amount. About $1,000 re-
mains to be taken, and 1t is important
that it be done at Once.'"

A birmingham (Ala.) special says:
"rhe A. ard A. railroad company has
made proposition to the Columbus and
Western road to sell TO them, and the
trade will probably be cOnsummated this
week. The A. and A. is to be made a
broad gauge and extended to MOntgOm-
cry. via Rockford. The Louisville and
Nashville is backing the movement, and
will own a system fearfully antagonistIc
to the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad. A recent New York
paper intimated as much, and that j.
Gould was the gobbler of the whole
AFFAIR."

EQUINOCTIAL WEATHER.
Nothing Heard from the Hurricane
Supposed to Have Broken up.

Nothing Heard from the Hurricane
Supposed to Have Broken up.
The threatening weather OF the past
day or TWO has given rise to some fears
that the West Indian hurricane, which
was reported off Key West last week, is
approaching. If it is the Signal Bureau
has no information OF it. The storm In
dications are purely local, and the signal
officers say that at this season the usual
equinOctial disturbances are likely to
occur.
Nothing has been heard from the hurri-
cane since it was reported off Key West
last week, Thursday. In the natural Or
der of things it should have reached here
not later than Sunday. The signal men
are at loss to account for 1t, but they
advance the theory that 1t broke up at sea
and did not enter the gulf at all. lit had
it would most likely have been felt here
before now. There were no indications of
storm last night and the outlook is for
fine weather.

ANOTHER EARTH WAVE.
IL Makes Early Riscrs of Half OF
the City's Population.

IL Makes Early Risers of Half OF
the City's Population.
A few iGinutes before O'Clock yester-
der csoining the city was again shocked
~ an earthquake. The shock was
not as severe, however, as that OF
Sept. 3. There have been vari-
Gus estimates OF the length of the Aug. 81
shock. Some said it lasted 80 seconds,
some 40 seconds, and other estimates
were made all the way up to two minutes.
Tue actual duration of the shock recorded
by ships chronometer. was 100 seconds.
The shock yesterday morning was SEEM
ingly of longer duration than that, though
OF course 1t was much less violent.
People were awakened from their sleep,
and many rushed from their houses into
the streets, fearing repetition of the last
night OF August. The sensations were
the same as those experienced during
previous shocks. The first indication
OF the approach OF the earth wave
was the low rumbllng sound; then
came the quick vibrations, followed by a
wavy motion az the last OF the wave
passed. There was slight tremOr for
several minutes. Buildings were shaken,
windows ratified, and for a few minutes
there was considerable alarm.
No damage WAS done, and as
soon as 1t was over people gave
the matter very little concern. The shock
was felt in the country, perhaps, more
than it was In the city. At
Ihunderbolt, Isle OF Hope, Montgomery
and at the suburban settlements it was
very perceptible. At Woodyille, about
