When passion and prejudics threat

On an occasion wnen the character

Chas. Carroll From the Fort Tells
Chairman Dale Not to Vote For
Him.
The Old Fort is up In arms, and has
begun to demand blood, all of which is
responsible for a rather amusing scene
that was enacted yesterday morning in
the office of the county commissioners.
About $3.50 o'clock, the hour that usual
ly finds Chairman ]. J. Dale at the court
house, Charles Carroll, well-known
smember of the Old Fort contingent, call
ed and announced that he wanted to sec
Mr.. Dale Mr.. Dale started to walk into
the back room with him, but Carroll said
he could tell him what he wanted right
there. He then began a little address,
the substance of which is as follows.
Il have been appointed a committee of
one by a meeting of about sixty of the
foremost workers of the Liberal Club
held last night, at Liberty and East Broad
streets, to- see you and the other county
commissioners, and notify you not to vote
for w. F. Chaplin for superintendent of
roads or any other office. These were
the people to whom your election was
due, and they. insist that you shall not
vote for one who has been their bitter
enemy. The fight was for a well-known
principle, and we should have our rights.
l am going to see the other commits
sioners, and tell them just what l nave
told you.'
This is not just the language the
speaker used, but according to those who
We're present it is just about what he
said.
II am making no promises whatever
was Mr. Dales brief reply. Il am going
to vote for the best interest of the
county, and that is all l have to say
Mr.. Carroll went off, presumably to see
some of the other new commissioners
and If he did. it is likely he got just about
the same amount of satisfaction out of
them. He made the statement, IL is said
that opposition to Mr.. Chaplin was COM
ing from the Yamacraw side IN the same
way, but so far it has not materialized
Several of the Liberal Club workers. wno
were talking about the matter, laughed
at the idea of there being meeting of
sixty of the workers of the club for this
or any other purpose, and their not Khow-
ing anything about it. They dld not ap-
pear to take much stock in MIR. Carroll's
demand.
OF course, it cannot be foretold what
the county commissioners will do, but it
is well known that there is a disposition
ON the part of some of them to put Mr..
Chaplin in charge of the road work and
county convicts, because. they say he
has shown such exceptional ability in
the road building in the county of which
he has had charge. There are several
candidates against him, Messrs. Joseph
Clay, Robert b. Habersham, Alfred CHS
holm and Martin Cooley
1t is said DR.. t. b. Chisholm, the coun-
ty physician is the only one of the other
county officers who will have opposition

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 26.-The Southern

muddle and the absence from the scene
OF action Of ". c. Hale. former president
OF that concern. has caused a multiplicity
of litigation affecting all the various com
panies with which he was connected. Yes
terday there were applications for re-
ceiver for the Hale Investment Company
and several others in which he was
factor. To-day a receiver was appointed
for tho Union Loan and Trust Company,
which was another OF Hale's combina-
tons, and on account of the same muddle
a receiver has been asked for the Manu-
facturer's Mutual Insurance Company,
though the other managers of this COM
pany declare that the receiver will be de-
MED when a showing is made.
The bill upon which the Union Loan and
Trust Company was placed in a receivers $
hands to-day was filed by the Manufac-
turer's Mutual Insurance Company ask
ing 10 be made a party plaintiff to the
bill filed by n. J. Ripley receiver, against
the Union Loan and Trust Company. The
bill alleges that the insurance company
had an agreement with the Union Loan
and Trust Company to pay to them per
a
in consideration of that agreement, the
Union Loan and Trust Company guaran-
teed the payment of the losses of the in
surance company. 1t is alleged that losses
have occurred which the Union Loan and
Trust Company has failed and refuses to
pay. 1t is alleged that the Union Loan
and Trust Company has no assets, except
Office furniture, some real estate mort
cages, in process of collection, and eight
or ten shares of stock of the Indian
Springs and Florida railroad.
As a result of this litigation, Frank
Crapp, receiver of the George Holiday
Lumber Company, filed bill for a re-
ceiver for both the Manufacturers Mu-
tual Insurance Company and the Union
Loan and Trust Company, alleging that
the latter company is moving its assets
beyond the jurisdiction OF the court. The
bill alleges that the ips arance company
assumed a risk on the plant of the lumber
company, and that loss has occurred by
fire. which loss the insurance company
fails and refuses TO pay. He charges that
the Union Loan and Trust Company guar
anteed all losses that might occur to the
insurance company, and that the Union
Loan and Trust Company is moving its
assets beyond the jurisdiction of the
court. j. c. Dayton. former cashier of
the State Savings Bank, is president of

tary, and f. II. Carhart is treasurer; Mo-

posed to be at its head deny it.

Atlanta. Ga Feb. 26.-The supreme
court to-day refused to grant a new triai
TO Jim Campbell, the Jasper county man,
sent to the penitentary for life for tho
murder of his brother, and unless he is
some day pardoned he will spend the bal
ance of his days in chains.
. The case is one OF the most remarkable
in the records of the state. Campbell and
his brother had a quarrel about woman.
and the evidence upon which he was con-
Victed was purely circumstautial 1t was
proven that a deadly hatred existed, and
that Jim had openly threatened the life of
his brother.
The strongest bit Of evidence produced
was a broken cork. When the murderer
fired the fatal shot nc was standing in
blind ditch This was proven by the
tracks and the imprint of the gun barrel
on the side of the ditch, where the muir
derer rested his gun to he sure of ac-
curate aim Near this spot was found a
broken piece of cork. Behind Jim Camp
bells barn, nearly two miles away,
whisky flask was discovered with a frag-
ment of cork in its neck. The pieces fitted
exactly. Jim Campbell had purchased the
bottle Of whisky several days before in
Monticello. Creeping along the blind ditch,
the murderer's nerve failed and he boost
ed il up with liquor. In pulling the cork
from the flask he broke it, and after
wards told the story of the crime. Camp
bells attorneys brought the case TO the
supreme court. arguing that the evidence
did not justify the verdict.

VALDOsTA GLEANINGs.
A quiet Wedding-Other Matters of
General Interest.

Valdosta, Ga, Feb 26-There was an
unexpected quiet but happy marriage in
this city yesterday evening, the contract
ing parties being Miss Mollie Finch of Vir-
ginia and MIR. Thomas r. Sweat, a prom
inent young business man of Starke, Fla.
Miss Finch had been living in this city
for several years with her aunt, Mrs N.
e. Malone. The marriage was TO have
occurred at the home of her mother in
Virginia, but owing to the death of a rel
ative here, the event was postponed for
several weeks Rev. Carl Minor was in
vted to the residence of Mrs. Malone
and the ceremony was performed in the
presence of only two or three friends and
relatives The happy couple left on the
evening train for their future home at
Starke, Fla.
The Valdosta Telephone Company have
decided to carry their line on to Balm
bridge west of here, and in a few days
force of workmen will begin erecting poles
and stretching wires The company has
now about 250 miles of wire in operation,
and when the lines to Savannah and Balm
bridge are completed, this whole section
will be brought in talking distance.
Jim Sharpe a negro carpenter here, re-
ceived a telegram last night from Cor
dele. stating that his son. Sim Sharpe,
had been shot to death near there, and
asking him TO come for the remains. The
news was not much of a surprise to
those who remembered Sim, for he was
well known to the police here, who still
hold a warrant for his arrest. He was
an ''up-to-date" negro criminal, and that
he has not been killed before is a Won
der.
The prohibition campaign is beginning

hibtionists had a grand rally at the court
house tonight while the ants are doing

CENTRAL.s ATTSNTA TERMINAL
Objections to the Alabama street
Bridge and Wants Union Depot.

Objections TO the Alabama street
Bridge and Wants "a Union Depot.
Vice President John M. Egan and GEN
eral Freight Agent w. A. Winburn of the
Central returned yesterday from a trip 10
Atlanta.
Mr. Egan's trip up the road was by the
day train on Wednesday. He wanted to
see the roadway by day, so as TO judge
of its condition after the heavy rains that
have been falling in the upper portion of
the state. He was well satisfied with
his observations.
While in Atlanta Mr.. Egan was in con-
sultation with the finance committee of
the city council on the question of the AL
ALBANIA street bridge over the Central's
track. The city wants to build the bridge
on the Alabama street extension but The
Central is opposed to it, as the erection
of the bridge is regarded as hurtful 10
the roads property interests in the imme-
diate neighborhood. The road owns a
good deal of the contiguous land, and It
purposes the erection of certain buildings
in time in just such positions as the con-
struction of the bridge would prevent
Mr. Egau explained these objections to the
committee. What its report will be is
not known, but the Central believes It's
objections to the building of the bridge
cannot be lost sight of.
A committee of the Atlanta council, Mr..
Egan says intends asking the roads run
ming into Atlanta to make
formal statement of their posi-
ton regarding new union depot
This committee wants to discover
what roads are ready TO go into COM
pact to erect aud use "A new depot, and
the answers are requested by the eXpira-
ton of sixty days.
The Central is ready TO enter on agree
ment. The southern IS likewise anxious
TO give up the inconvenient and confined
depot that is used at present. That road
has gone ahead and bought property at
the intersection of Mitchell and Elliott
streets for the erection of a new depot.
Work on this building will commence in
October. but it Is the wish of the people
Of Atlanta, and indeed, Of some of the
roads, TO have all OF the lines come in aud
make Il a union depot.
Just what roads viii he most ready
TO accept the plan Is not known. The
Western and Atlantic. IL seems likely. will
not he one Being a state road there are
obstacles in tho way of its making "A
change. The present depot is the prop
erty of the state and It's removal 10 an
other terminal point would call for special
legislation.
