Most of the Railroads Manifest an
Intention to Pay.
ATLANTA, Ga, May 24.-Controller
General Wright is in receipt of informa-
ton from the tax collectors showing that
most of the railroads in the state are pay
ing their city and county taxes levied under
the Glenn law. The Richmond and Dan
vile and Savannah and Western have
already paid and thu East Tennessee
will pay tomorrow. So far the
only roads which have given notice
that they will not pay the tax ara ths Co.
luInbus Southern. which has appealed to the
United States supreme court, and the Geor-
gia Southern and Florida, which Is in the
hands Of a receiver. The Central road,
with its branches, has declined to answer
the notices of the tax collector either one
way or the other. This is probably due,
however, to the recent upheaval in the Cen
trails affairs, and the tax will, in all proba-
bility, be forthcoming without trouble.
The Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
has also failed to make known Its Intentions
in regard to the tax.

The peach crop promises to be an abund-

There is split in the ranks Of the Repub-

posed entirely Of colored people. A con.
vention has been called TO meet at The court
house on Saturday, June 4, for the purpose
OF reorganization, and it is the avowed in
tention of those calling the convention to
depose the present chairman. The repub-
hcans will probably have a candidate for
congress in the field. They have majority
in this district, and will
take advantage Of the split
In the ranks of the white voters. SO far, no
action has been taken on this line, as the
white bosses in Atlanta have not i'sarnt
word" who shall be the candidate, but it is
said that white republican, who lives in
thomson, will be the runner in the race.

COLUMBIA'S DEMOCRATS.
Delegates Elected TO the Various
Florida Conventions.

Delegates Elected TO the Various
Florida Conventions
LAKE CITY. FLA, May 24.-Columbia
county held her county convention Satur-
day and elected delegates to the state and
congressional conventions. 1t was largely
attended. Eight delegates from the county
were duly elected, each being voted for sep
arately. When the names Of Hon. B. II.
Palmer and j. ID. Galloway from the Lake
City district were read some member sug-
Rested that they be voted for separately. At
this juncture Julius Potsdamer, a prom
inent citizen Of Lake City, appeared IN the
door of the convention hall and asked
the convention to give him the privilege as
a voter of District No. 10 TO express his
views. This the convention granted by an
almost unanimous vote of the House with
the exception Of Lake City, District No. 10.
This action Of No. 10 was a surprise, and
at once made the impression that they
feared Potsdamer might expose the machine
methods by which No. 10 was represented
In the convention, for he Is a bold and fear
less democrat
But Mr.. Potsdamer spared them, and
simply gave his reasons why he thought the
convention should vote on the names Of J.
d. Galloway and B. H. Palmer separately,
saying that as the democracy of one of
Ouolu ullBub D6 CTOOheus duO ne Qlu not
deem it far for one to go in as delegate
on the back Of the other.
These remarks brought Mr.. Galloway TO
his feet, and he declared that any one who
said he was not a good democrat told lie.
After the little ripple the two were voted
for together and elected.
Hon. l. j. Brown was elected without
opposition delegate at large to Tampa.
The following delegates to congressional
convention at Gainesville were elected as
follows: D. E. Cox, J. E. Wise, J. E.
Bates, I. E. Ellis. j. W. Chiles, E. G.

SENATORS AND THE TARIFF.
An Intention to Keep the House Bills
in the Background.

An Intention to Keep the House Bills
in the Background.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-There was de-
sultory discussion upon the general subject
of tariff legislation by the Senate finance
committee to-day. but no effort was made
to secure action upon any of the House
tariff bills that are now on the calendar of
the committee. 1t appears that there is no
probability Of an early report by the COM
mittee upon these measures. The feeling of
the republican majority is that an agitation
OF the subject of tariff revision
at this time would be harm
full to the business interests
and would be unwarranted, as it is alleged
that the republican majority of the Senate
Is already fully committed in opposition to
any OF the House tariff bills. Some discussion
Of the subject in the Senate cannot of course,
be avoided, as Senator Vests resolution dis
charging the committee from further con-
sideration OF the free wool bill now lies on
the table, from which it will doubtless be
taken to serve as the basis for speeches.

RATES ON LUMBER.
An Important Appeal to the State
Railroad Commission.

railroad commission.
ATLANTA, GA. May pat the meet
ing of the railroad commission to-day two
very important questions to the lumber In
terests of the state came up for discussion.
Representatives of all the lines penetrating
the lumber districts were present at the
meeting to sustain the railroad side Of the
cases.
An application was made by
the railroads TO have the seal
of estimated weights on lumber
revised Other estimated weights were
also included. The railroads claim that the
present seals discriminate heavily in favor
of the shipper and ask modification that
will equalize according to their basis of
calculation. Shippers of sawed crossties
applied to the commission to have the rate
on sawed ties the same as that on hewn ties.
1t is the general policy of the railroads to
make a special rate on hewn ties in order to
encourage their marketing. The mill men,
however, are Obliged to pay lumber rates
on sawed ties which they claim is a dis
elimination. The commissioner will not
decide the question for several days.
