Dublin, Ga, July pa gentleman resid-
ing IN Laurens county, near the line of
Twiggs, and a short distance from the
scene of the recent horrible Mobiles trag-
edy, told a group of reporters yesterday
that the people of Twiggs county would not

have daily communication from neighbors
in the vicinity of the murder, and a great
many citizens of the county. They are all
astonished at the Atlanta women getting
up a petition for the pardon of
Mrs. Mobiles The idea Is absurd to say
the woman is mentally deranged. They
believe she is shamming to obtain execu-
tive clemency. The people of Twiggs coun-
ty do not think for a moment that Gov At
kinson will grant her a pardon. If he
does 1 am sorry TO say the Twiggs people
viii be indignant. The crime was horrible
and the woman was the main conspiratOr
in the plot BY her own words the woman
stands convicted. The killing of Mr.. No
bles, who was said by his neighbors to have
been kind and indulgcnt husband, was
fiendish. l hope the governor will study
the matter carefully"

WOUNDED on THE TRACK.
A Policeman Has Lively Race
with a Negro.

Valdosta, Ga, July PA freight train
on the Plant system coming
to this city picked up ne
gro man who had been desperately
wounded, about a mile and a half east of
here. The negro was brought to this city
and medical attention given him. An ex-
animation showed a big bruise across his
forehead. but no other marks of violence
on his person. The doctor says that the
bruise might have been made by a mans
fist or a sandbag, and it is matter for
speculation as to how tho negro came to
his precarious condition.
The chief of police here had a lively
race with a negro this morning. one
night this week entrance was effected into
a boarding house here. and a good deal
of clothing stolen from a room occupied
by two young men. This morning Mount
cd Officer Dampier ran upon the negro on
the outskirts of the city with the cloth
ing. y chase followed, and the negro ran
all over that part of the town. The officer
attempted TO run him toward the city, but
his horse stepped through rotten bridge
and fell allowing the negro to reach
Dukes bay. He went into the water up
to his neck and lodged about through
briars and bushes until the officer cover
ed him and ordered him out. He was lodg-
ed in Jail and will be tried on the charge of
robbery, in the city court.

TAX RATE MAY BE INCREASED.
H THE RETURNS CONTINUE TO
SLUMP 1T WILL GO Up.

No Action 10 He Taken Before the
Legislature Meets and IL Is Learn
ed just How the Returns Pan Out.
The Rate when Made BASED Upon
the Return of 1852. 100000 of Tax
able Property Last Year.
Atlanta, Ga, July 26.-There is a strong
probability that the legislature will be
called upon TO raise the tax rate for this
year. The maximum rate named in the
tax act passed at the last session was
40 mills for education and general pur-
poses. with .25 added for the sinking fund.
which makes a total of 4.55 mills to be
levied by the state this year and next.
This maximum was, however. predicted
upon a total taxable property in the state
of Si52. 10000. which was the return last
year.
Controller General Wright, in an inter
view, estimates that there would be
slump in the returns this year Of $780,
10000. 1T depends" said the controller,
upon the amount we can collect from
the railroads that have been delinquent
on account of receivers. This week we
got from the Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery $1,000. and there is a good
deal due the state from other roads. If
we can get this we may be able to squeeze
along on the present tax rate"
AS soon, as the digests are all in the
controller general will report to the gov
ernor the total returns. if the present tax
rate is not sufficient TO raise the revenue
necessary to run the state, the governor
will not order a levy until after the legis-
lature meets, so that body may amend the
tax act by increasing the rate according
to the demands.
Another matter Of finance that the leg
islature viii have to dispose of will be the
INDECENT soldiers pensions. Under the re-
cent constitutional amendment $4,000 was
Appropriated for their pensions, but it
will take twice that much TO go around.
Although many applications have been
approved, none of the pensioners can
draw any money until the legislature adds
to its appropriation enough to pay all.

TENTH DISTRICT ELECTION.
Gov. Atkinson TO Fix the Date For 1t
on His Return TO Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ca. July 26-One of the first
things Gov. Atkinson will do when he
returns to the capitol from Warm Springs,
where he is now comfortably installed as
the guest of Col w. A. Little, for week
or ten days, will be TO set the date for
holding the special congressional election
in the Tenth district. 1t is not known
whether the governor has any particular
date in mind or not, but in view of his
desire to keep the election from interfer-
ing with farming and business in the dis
trict, il is more than likely that he will
not leave much margin on the sixty days
within which the law says such elections
shall be held after the order fixing the
date is issued. The fixing of the date of
the election will open up the fight in the
Tenth district in earnest. The election
will give the new registration law its first
test. which will invest the contest with an
additional feature of interest throughout
the state.
