WAGING THE FREIGHT WAR.
SOUTHERN STATE FREIGHT AssO-
CITATION MEETS THE CUT.

Question of Reducing Georgia local
Rates Held In Allegiance Until Az
ter the Meeting of the stnte Rail-
Railroads Notified to Appear BE-
fore the Commissioners.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. S.-Rates sheets
have been issued by the Southern States
Freight Association reducing rates from
the east. First class rates from New York
are cut from 81 IA per hundred pounds to
Go cents a hundred. First class rates
from Boston and Providence will be 81
cents, and from Philadelphia 6S cents.
These rates go into effect on Saturday.
Macon and Columbus will probably be
charged ten cents above the Atlanta
rate.
AS the Georgia railroad commission is
to take up on Thursday the question of
reducing local rates to correspond with
the cut through rates, the lines will not
announce reductions to Georgia points
other than Atlanta, Athens and Elberton,
until after the commission acts.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. S.-The state rail-
road commission will take up the rate war
between the Seaboard Air Line and the
Southern railway at a meeting to be held
on next Thursday. 1t Is the purpose of the
commission, as expressed in the formal
notice to the railroad at the time of the
Inauguration of the rate war, to compel
them to give local points the same corre-
spending reductions of the rate as are en-
joyed by competitive points.
Chairman Trammell, who took cogni-
zance of the situation, holds that for the
railroads to make rates by which foreign
manufacturers or dealers, say from Bal.
timore or New York. can ship goods
cheaper to points in Georgia than Georgia
merchants or manufacturers can ship tc
the same places within the state, would
be ruination to the interests of home in
terest. To prevent this injurious dis
elimination the railroads have been cited
to appear before the commission next
Thursday, to show cause why they should
not be compelled to make reductions or
their local tariff sheets to conform t
through rates.
The railroads have already expressed the
opinion that the state commission has nc
authority to enforce such a reduction and
there will be a stubborn and interesting
fight when the case comes up.
The rate commission of the Southern
States Freight Association adjourned to
day. Rates to meet the Seaboards Gu
were agreed upon, but the rate clerks VII
have to figure on them to see II tine cut Il
practicable. Atlanta already has rat'
from Baltimore and Virginia points of 3
per cent. below the old rate. The purpos
of the commission was to fix rate, usinl
Atlanta as a distributing point, to al
other points reached by the associates
lines, giving Atlanta rate of SS per cent
cut. 1t was necessary to see what rat
would have to be added after the ship
ments destined to other points reache
| Atlanta. The other rates would De les
than local, but how much less it Is i'm
possible to find out. All the associate
| lines have met the Seaboard's rate to At
lanta, but how to get rates fixed to othe
| points is what is troubling them.

EVANS DEFEAT ASSURED.
"THE BEGINNING OF THE END,1
ACCORDING TO SENATOR TILEMAN

EarIe's Majority VIII he I'm the
NeighbOrhoOd of 3,OOO-TiIIman
Hit as Wen as Evans--More Spicy
Dispensnry Disclosures Probable.
The Vote In Charleston Heavy.
Columbia, S. c., Sept. Sat o'clock
this morning sufficient returns are in to
show that Gov, Evans has been beaten by
Gen. Earle for the Senate
Allowing Evans two-thirds of the un-
reported vote, and placing 1T at over sO,-
600, he cannot reduce Earle's majority be-
low 5000 at the lowest estimate.
AT o'clock this morning a vote Of 5s,-
SS7 is accounted for. The total vote in
the first primary was 1921. OF the vote
already reported Evans has 22.Sl7, against
Earle's Si,07O Earle's majority being l1,753.
The vote reported is pretty full.
The people Of the state took the keenest
interest in the election and the result is
no surprise in consequence OF the devel-
opments Of the last few days Gov. Ev-
ans unquestionably injured his chances
by his revelations in the dispensary scam
dal and now 1t may be confidently expect
ed that more interesting revelations than
ever will come forth. This much has bean
indicated by those in possession of many
facts Of far more interesting character
than those already made
Senator Tillman interfered in the race
after declaring he was hands off. and the
people seemed to resent his interference.
II is thought that the people resented his
attempt to dictate to them how they should
vote
The result shows the very essential fact
that Tillman has been hit as well as
Evans. He urged the people to support
Evans, saying that the success of the re-
form movement depended upon Evans
election. Gov. Evans has not been seen
this evening, but 1t is understood that he
Is very much disappointed man.
Up to the time of the first primary II
was conceded that he would be elected by
about 10000 majority. At the opening OF
the campaign It looked as If he was going
to have complete walkover But Dun-
can entered the field, and Earle came in
at the last moment, and the charges about
the bond swindle were made. Evidently
the people came to the conclusion that
Evans did not explain these matters sat-
isfactory. A hard fight has been made by
Gov Evans friends, but II seems to have
been without avail.
Charleston, S. c.. Sept. S.-The second
| primary election for a United States SEM
ator passed off quietly here to-day. Earle
receives IN the city limits 2539 votes
Evans, 5Ss The last time the race stood
| Earle and Duncan, 2,2i9; Evans, 500; a gain
of 629 votes against Evans. The box still
| to be heard from In the county will in-
crease Earle's majority to over 1900.

had to tear down the JAIN in order TO do
so. he decided that the sentence Of death

l suppose it's all right. have taken one
life for the devil, and will now give my
own life for Jesus sake. Lord, am

fell and he was jerked upward. His neck

murders ever perpetrated In Nova Scotia.

Kempton between II and ] o'clock at
night after she had made desperate at

Business at "A standstiII, and Ships

Madrid, Sept s.--A special dispatch from
Hong Kong to the Imparcial says that
the commander of the British gunboat
Red Pole has telegraphed from Manita
that the gravity of the situation at the
capital OF the Philippine Islands is such
as to oblige him to remain there with his
ship. This message indicates that the
position at Manila is very serious, though
no details are obtainable, owing to the
rigor OF the censorship.
Business telegrams have been received
at Hong Kong from mercantile corre-
spondents at Manila, advising against tho
shipment OF further consignments of goods
to the Philippines, and stating that busi-
ness there is at a complete standstill.

EXPLAINING FOR WATSON.
Chairman Butler Does Not Relieve
He said Certain Things.

He said Certain Things.
Washington. Sept. S.-senator Butler,
chairman of the populist national com
mittee, believes that Candidate Tom Wat
son is the victim Of Misrepresentation
by the press report of his speech yester-
day.
"I am not ready to believe" said the
senator this morning. that Mr.. Watson
was correctly quoted in saying that Bry-
an would be defeated If Sewall was not
taken down from the ticket. Certainly he
meant to make no such threat as this
newspaper report would seem to imply"
(The Southern Associated Press, which
is taken by the Morning News, thus re-
ported Mr. Watson: Mr.. Watson de-
clared that he was in this fight TO a fin
ish, and that he will not retire from the
race for Vice President in Mr.. SewalPs
favor. That If Bryan is defeated, Sewall
will be TO blame, and that II Bryan wins
it must be because Watson wins also"
The Chicago Associated Press thus quotes
him on the same matter: Every man
ought to know that II Mr.. Bryan is 20 be
elected he will be elected by the votes
which the peoples party give him. IL
he carries Nebraska, where he lives, II
will be the Tom Watson popuIists who
will carry 1t for him. - Bryan cannot
throw away 1900 votes. He will accept
me as his running mate. If he does not,
the ticket will never be elected II will
be seen that the complaint of Senator
Butler Is not against the report Of the
Southern Associated Press.)

Killed at Arpin.

Mr.. Tom Sokolosky, laborer who
has been employed at Arpin for some
time past, met with an accident Sunday
which caused his death. Mr. Sokoloskv
was at work on rollway near the mill
decking logs. At about eleven O'Clock
a. m. he stepped backward on what he
probably figured to be a long log, as
deckers SO frequently do, to avoid the
log that was being rolled up. He
stepped off. however, and fell back
wards to the ground. distance of
about twelve feet, striking the hard,
icy surface on the back of his head.
Conclusion of the brain resulted and
he lived only an hour. DR.. Harvie was
summoned and with II. H. Voss started
for Arpin but they reached that place
too late to be of any service.
