VETERANS AND rHn GOV ERNon.
UnfriendIy Feeling shown Toward
Him at Meeting Mt Atlanta.


Atlanta Ga, July 20.-lt looks as if the
war We're not over yet. at least so far as
the local veterans were concerned. They
are toerably willing TO forget the sur
render Of Gen. Lee al Appomatox, but
not the defeat OF Gen Evans ia the late
gubernatoriaI fight with Gov. Atkinson.
Last night there was 70 large and entnus-
lastic meeting ~ tae od soldiers and the
governor aame in foI mis- full share of at
teuton. The committee on entertainments
reported that it had abandoned the idea
Of giving a picnic in June because an I'M
favorable sentiment has been noted
against any entertainment the veterans
proposed. 1t had been decided to pro
pose none in the future, no popular en-
couragement being given.
Judge r. l.. Rodgers, in an imprisoned
speech, charged the politicians with Gre
ating an unkind and unfrieudly feeling
towards the veterans amongst the people
There has grown up here, he said, in
the last few years a feeling of contempt
for the veterans, on account
Of certain political influences
getting control Of the people. 1t was
such an unfriendly feeling that defeated
the soldiers home. Il was the same pow
er that defeated Gen. Evans for governor
II is the same power that says the vete-
rams are back numbers, fossils, and must
be reegated to the rear. The politicians
have caused it to be talked on our streets
that we have lost our influence and moral
courage, and that is the reason why we
receive no announcement in our projects
II is time for the veterans to arouse, as
in time of war, and drive away this inim-
ical power"
DR.. Durham, the next speaker, said that
Judge Rodgers alluded to Gov. Atkinson
and his crowd. They are responsible"
he continued, for some of 1t, and if Atlln-
son were to run for constables pace,
! would not vote for him"
The remainder of DR.. Durham's speech
was lost in the yells. and the cheering con
tinued some time after he had taken his
seat.

Atlanta, Ga. July 2O.-The returns of
railroad property, according to the con-
troller generals calculation, win be
greater this year than ever before in spite
Of the Blalock committees parallel column

Is expected to be small but substantial.

TELEGRAPH COMPANY TAX.
Collectors in Three Counties in 4
Tilt with the COMPANIES.

Collectors in Three Counties in n
Tilt With the Companies.
Atlanta, Ca. July 2O.-A little war is on
between the tax collectors of Chatham,
Bibb and Lowndes counties and the tele-
graph companies.
The tax authorities have made demand
on the companies for a return of their
property located within those counties.
The telegraph companies have set up
the claim that they are exempt from
property taxation under the law since
they pay 2l5 per cent. on their gross
receipts.
The authorities, on their side, contend
that the act eXempting telegraph com
panies on that score is not constitutional
as all taxes are to be levied ad valorem
The controller general has been applied
to. In Chatham and Bibb the Postal
company is concerned: in Lowndes the
Western Union.
If both sides insist upon their point,
the matter will have to go to the courts.
The present attorney general being absent
the controller at present has for his
guidance in the matter only the opinion
delivered by ex-Attorney General Clifford
Anderson, who held that the tax of 2lk
per cent. in such cases on gross receipts
was to be considered fun payment in lieu
Of all other taxation

BIG SLAUGHTER SALE OF BICYCLE


BIG SLAUGHTER SALE OF BICYCLES.
The present stock of Barnes White
Flyers, the 19-lb. Keatings, the Eagle, the
Ides and the Remingtons.
They must all go, and if you want to
buy cheap for cash come right up at once
and you will soon ride a wheel and still
have some cash left in your pockets.
Not single one of our bicycle factories
have cut the list prices of their wheels,
and they positively will not for 1897.
Every one of them write and telegraph
that they will hold the catalogue prices
firm for 1897 to all the retail trade and
we must not deviate in any instance.
All advertisements of cut prices in BIZ
cycles are where the dealer is overstock-
ed and wants to unload, but the dealer is
the loser and the customer the gamer. Re
member this.
Don't put Off buying your wheel, as
pretty soon we will have no special bar
gains to offer and your chance to get a
real big bargain will have passed. Re
member this and buy at once. Don't nut

HAS CREATED CONSERVATION.
Result of TiHman's Determination
TO Nntt. For the Thrift


Columbia, S c.. July 20-The declara-
ton of Senator Tillman that he viii vote
for the tariff bill if his vote is needed to
pass it has caused something akin to con-
sternation in official circles. The deIega-
ton from this state in the House is solid
~ opposed to his position and strenuous
efforts have been made to change him
from this determination, but without sue
cess.
Great apprehension is expressed that
Ti.lman's vote in this instace may be
disastrous to the reform party in South
Carolina. Senator Tillman argues that
the passage of the tariff bill will result in
the disruption of the republican party and
a democratic victory next year but few
Others hold this view.
His declaration to vote with the republi-
cans also gives his opponents an oppor-
tunity to charge that a deal has been
MADE the passage of the dispensary bill
being the price the republicans are to pay.
rms IS given coloring by the fact that
Representative Stone of Pennsylvania who
has repeatedly declared his antagonism to
the Latlmer bill, said that at the urgent So
1cltation of Senator Quay he had with
drawn his opposition to the bill. Repub-
mean state Chairman Webster has also
been lobbying for this measure. urging as
his reason that the perpetuation of the
dlspensary would keep the democratic fac
tons apart and give the republicans more
chance in the state
