NOrtherners Marketing COttOn-New
COIonists Arriving and Expected.


Fitzgerald, Ga. Sept. 1.-The cotton
warehouse is now completed, and is a
great convenience TO the business men of
the city, many of whom deal in cotton. A
number of the colonists from the north
are marketing cotton for the first time in
their lives, and some very funny incidents
have occurred. One northern man offered
for sale a bale of cotton neatly covered
with canvas, not a suspicion of cotton be-
ing visible, and when the dealer made
several cuts in the canvass to determine
the quality of the cotton, the owner be-
came very indignant and very explosive,
much to the delight of the crowd.
The colony company begins making
deeds to-day for improved allotments and
have a great many ahead of them, and
more keep coming continually. Fall immi-
grants have begun to come in and report
that a number are on the way overland
and many more will come on excursions
during the fall and winter months. More
building is being done than during the
early part of last month.
A negro camp meeting, which has been
In progress here, closed last night. Satur-
day and Sunday a large crowd of negroes
were attracted here from other towns
near.

FULTON's TAX RATE.
County Commissioners Have n Warm
Controversy Over the Matter

County Commissioners Have n Warm
Controversy over the Matter
Atlanta, Ga. Sept. AFTER a warm
controversy between the county commits
sioners, who wanted to increase the tax
rate to get money for a new court house
and the people. Fulton county's tax rate
FOR 1897 was fixed at 5.94 on the $1,000 by
the county commissioners.
The rate was not increased in Difference
TO the public protest, but the court house
fund is provided for nevertheless. a
schedule for the levy was introduced by
Chairman Adair at the mornings session,
which was vigorously attacked by Com
missioner Palmer as illegal Upon con-
sulting the county attorney it was decided
TO make a number of changes in the
schedule, and the new levy will be pre-
sented to the board at the next meeting.
The rate, which will be adopted, will
provide an income of 1892 900 for the coun-
ty. OF this amount 100000 will be set
aside for the new court house fund, which
will leave $4,000 to be divided among the
various departments,

POWERS OF THE COMMISSION.
Discrimination in the Selection of
One Road Over Another Not Illegal.

Discrimination in the Selection of
One Road Over Another Not Illegal.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. Attorney General
Terrell received the official papers from
Judge John c. Hart in the case of the
state VS.. the Wrightsville and Tennnle
railroad, Judge Hart sustaining the de-
murrer of the defendant.
The case was for the recovery of the
penalty prescribed by law for violation
by railroads of the rules and regulations
of the railroad commission. The rule vi
olated by the railroad was the one to pre-
vent discrimination against one connect
ing road in favor of another.
The commission sought to enforce this
rule by compelling the railroad to issue
through bills of lading over the Augusta
Southern, but they refused to do this and
issued the bills of lading over the Cen
trail The case was carried before Judge
Hart, and his decision i'm favor of the
defendant is to the effect that the COM
mission has not the authority to prevent
this kind of discrimination. An appeal
will be made TO the supreme court by the
railroad commission, for the point involved
is a vital one.

Augusta, Ca. Sept. 1.-Maurice Maho-
ney, a clerk employed by Charles d. Carr
& Co., wholesale grocers, was shot this af-
ternoon by MIR. Pierre Carr a younger
brother of the senior member of the firm.
The shooting grew out of a report made
by young Mahoney to Charles d. Carr
about his brother Pierre. The senior Carr
had a box of cigars in his desk drawer,
from which he missed considerable num-
Der, and asked Mahoney who had taken
them. The clerk replied: Il don't know.
You had better ask Pierre Carr about
them"
Young Carr took this as a charge against
him. He denied the charge and an angry
dispute followed, ending in the dismissal
of Pierre Carr by his brother, who said
he had such frequent quarrels with those
in the store he had better go someWh here
else
Young Carr has been drinking since los
ing his place, and this afternoon he armed
himself with a SS-calibre pistol and went
to the store. He sat silent in the office
awhile, but seeing Mahoney at work in the
store, he leaned through the window of
the office and said:
Il suppose you are satisfied now, that
you have made me lose my job; but I'm
going to kill you for it,"
At the same time he began to fire on
him. One bullet passed through the leg
of Mahohey's trousers and another en-
tered his arm between the wrist and the
elbow, running up the arm and coming
out near the elbow. The wound is not Sc
rious.
By this time other employees rushed in
and seized Carr and disarmed him. The
police did not hear of the shooting until
tonight, and Pierre Carr had gone out
