MIR. LOyIess of the Macon Evening
News Attacks III. c. Hanson.


Macon. Ga, Nov. 5.-There was consid-
cradle excitement this afternoon in front
of the Daily Telegraph office, caused by a
difficulty between Tom Loyless, editor of
the Evening News, and H. c. Hanson
general manager Of the Telegraph. in
Thursdays News was an editorial attack
on the Telegraph's exposure of an alleged
waste of the states money in the payment
of oil Inspectors fees.
The editorial was severe in tone and
contained statements which the Telegraph
in to-day's issue denounced as malicious
lies. This put MIR. Loyless on his mettle
and this afternoon he started 20 go TO
the Telegraph's Office, but found the OBJ
iect of his wrath, Fl. G. Hanson, talking
to some gentlemen in front of the Tele-
graph building
The editor of the News asked Mr.. Han
son If he was responsible for the often
slve editorial in the Telegraph this morn
ing.
Mr.. Hanson replied that he was respon-
sible for every line of it, whereupon Mr..
LOyless struck at or struck Mr.. Hanson
and instantly stepped back. AS he did 50
Mr.. Hanson drew pistol, but as his OPP
ponent failed to show a weapon, Mr. Han
son did not fire upon him.
r. w. Jemison seized Mr.. Hanson's
wrist and also the pistol, while others
gathered about the belligerents and ended
further trouble.
The matter is deeply deplored by friends
of both journals. AS well known the pa
pers have been rather unfriendly, owing
to their different attitudes on the silver
question, the Telegraph advocating the
gold standard. The Morning News cor
respondent saw Mr.. Loyless after to-day's
difficulty and he expressed himself as sat
isfed, and that so far as he was concern
ed it was al an end Mr. Hanson had
nothing TO say about it,

The House Committee Takes Up the
Fight From Jefferson.
Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 5.-A lively Issue was
sprung at the meeting of the committee
on contested elections this afternoon in
the case from jefferson county which has
been hanging fire a year. The sitting
members are Messrs. Salter and Wren,
populists, and the contestants, Messrs.
Palhill and Stapleton, democrats. The
populists were seated on the face of the
returns, which gave them very small ma
jorities.
1t was impossible to settle the case last
session, ana the work was resumed to-
day the issue that stirred up the commit
tee being a determination to go behind the
registration lists made under the new reg
istration law and allow the challenging of
votes cast by persons who it could be
shown were not entitled TO vote because
their taxes had not all been paid. The
populists kicked hard at this. but the
challenging was begun, and the democrats
believe enough illegal votes will be cast 10

DREW a RAZOR on THE LANDLORD

A Real Estate Agents Experience
With a Delinquent Tenant.
A real estate agent called on one of his
tenants near CASTOR and West Broad
streets yesterday to collect his rent. AT
the door he met a negro woman, one of
the occupants of the house.
The agent stated his business, but the
woman replied that she did not have the
money to pay the rent. The agent had
heard the same story before, and grew
somewhat importunate and insisted that
he would either collect the money or have
possession of the house.
At this juncture a negro walked from
behind door, drew razor and ordered
the collector to be gone. He went at once.
Later he appeared before Justice Wick
ham, and the matter was placed In the
hands of an officer.

ORIGINAL PACKAGES o. X. NOW.

How Savannah Shippers Keep Their
Carolina Agents Supplied.
Savannah merchants, who are shipping
original packages to South Carolina, have
successfully completed all arrangements
by which their agents are kept supplied.
The inconvenience to the shippers,
which existed some time ago, was brought
about by the refusal of some of the rail-
roads in Georgia and South Carolina. to
haul the packages. The reason which the
roads gave for their refusal was that the
packages, when separately stored in cars,
were exposed and therefore more liable to
damage.
New methods of packing have been re-
sorted to. and the shippers report that all
their agencies are being supplied More
original package goods are probably shipp-
ed to South Carolina from Savannah, than
from any other point.

ADULTERATION OF FOODS.
Some of the Articles That Are Most
AduItetated.

Some of the Articles That Are Most
AduItetated.
Much attention has been drawn of late
to the impurities which are said to exist
in different articles of food, and inyesh-
cations are being made by private parties
in many instances.
In speaking of the authorizations Of
foods, a we'll known expert in such mat
tiers said that harmful ingredients are con-
tanned in many of the articles of food
which are now being sold in the city. Bak-
ing powder, vinegar and milk are amonS
the chief things which are being adulter-
ated. Whisky, he said, is also adulterated
and sold in many parts of the city, and at
times it contains the most harmful ingre-
dents.
1t is not an improbable matter that the
city will take the investigation up and
ascertain if the authorizations, which are
said to be made do in fact exists.
