DIMES COTTON ACREAGE.
An Effort to BE Made to Have tue
Farmers Hold 1t Down.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 25.-Col. w. A..
Broughton. president of the Georgia di-
vision of the American Cotton Growers
Protective Association. and Hon. Hector
Lane of Alabama, president of the parent
association, will hold an important con-
ference here next week. They will dis
cuss plans TO be brought to bear
on the farmers to secure a reduction of
the cotton acreage next season.
Col. Broughton has received a commu-
nication from President Lane suggesting
that instead of holding a general southern
convention to forward the work of reduc-
ton conventions be held in all of the sew
eral states. 1t has been shown by expert
ence that the convention has had its best
effects locally and for this reason it is
believed that If a convention can be held
In each of the cotton growing states the
aggregate effect will be much greater than
could otherwise be accomplished. These
state conventions will probably be held
the middle of February. According to
present indications, judging by the amount
of fertilizer being sold and the number of
mules being bought by the farmers. Col.
Broughton is of the opinion that largely
increased acreage is being prepared for,
and that unless something is done to cut
it down cotton will go to centes again
next season. Commissioner Lane is also
of the same opinion, and the result of the
conference, to be held here next week will
be most important.

RED HOT RENDEZVOUS.
An Atlanta Man Tells His Wife Hen
Meet Her in Hades.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 25.-James H. Smith,
a butcher for some time past employed by
T. R. Sawtell, who runs retail store on
Whitehall street. and also packing house
on small scale, is missing from his home
under very unusual circumstances.
Smith left his wife and little eight
months old baby last Saturday night. and
has not been heard of since. His fight
was to all appearances premeditated,
though so far there has developed no
cause sufficient to account for his con-
duct. His wife. who applied TO the police
20 have him located, says that they have
always lived together happily, and the
mans employers are not able to throw
any light upon the cause.
After being paid off Saturday night
Smith went home as usual and got his
supper. His home is in the southwestern
part OF the city. in the suburbs. He ap-
peared as cheerful as usual and when
after supper he told his wife to take the
baby and so over TO the home of her
mother, while he returned to the city to
buy provisions, she thought nothing of
st. as he frequently did this. Mrs. Smith
waited at the home of her mother for some
time, and then thinking that her husband
had gotten back she went to her house
again.
As she entered the door she found lying
upon the floor, where 1t had been pushed
under the door after the man left, small
scrap of paper upon which note ad-
dressed to her was written. 1t ran thus:
Dear Wife-When you see me again il
viii be late day in hell"
Mrs. Smith was much surprised and
frightened. She did not know what TO
shink of the matter. Upon looking about
The house she found that her husband
before taking his departure had packed in
his valise all the necessary articles Of
clothing for "A long trip. He had also
taken sheets and towels with him ana a
number of other little household articles.
This increased the mystery about his de-
parture and puzzled the wife stll more.
She at once sought her mothers house
again. They were unable to explain
matters and the police We're resorted to.
Chief Connolly has had his men on the
lookout all day, but the missing Smith
who expects to meet his wife "at a late
day IN hell" has not yet been heard from.

4 NEGRO THIEF MAKES A DEsPER-
ATE RESISTANCE.

Caught in the Act of Stealing n Hum
lie OverpOwers Two Negroes Who
Seize Him and Grabs n Pistol FROM
WOman's Hands-Then He Turns
the Weapon on His Pursuers, But
Fails to Kill Any of Them-A PO-
IiceInan Finally Captures Him.
Atlanta. Ga, Jan. 25.-John Terrell, a
desperate negro with pair of pistols. ere
atcd a panic in the neghborhood of the
ALTERNATE hotel on Ivy street this morn
ing. He did his best to kill negro cook
and a negro waiter. and later knocked the
proprietress of the house down and fired
several shots at her PROSTATE form. When
policeman tried to arerst him he drew a
pair Of pistols and emptied them at the
officer at short range. The negro'S bad
craftsmanship is all that saved the po-
liceman and the hotel people. Officer Tom
Ivey was. however, better marksman, and
after firing several times at him brought
him down with a ball in the side of the
head and Terrell is now behind prison bars
with the charge of assault with intent to
murder standing opposite his name on the
register.
The affray began when Terrell entered
the back yard of the MOTEL Albermarle
aud, opening the safe on the back porch,
took a ham and ran off with it. One of
the cooks saw the theft and raised the
alarm Her husband William Thomas
son, a waiter ran after Terrell, and with
the assistance of another negro man sue
ceeded in stopping him. He made a des-
perate effort to escape and at this juno
ture Mrs wilkinson, the proprietress of
the house, ran out with a revolver in her
hand intending to intimidate the negro
until the police could arrive.
The sight of the weapon, however, only
further Infatuated the man. He broke
away knocked Mrs. Wilkinson down and
wrenching her pistol away from her be-
gan shooting He fired ball in the face of
the negro Thomasson making a slight flesh
wound. and followed this up with a coupe
of shots at Mrs. Wilkinson. Thomas son
had also drawn a pistol. but the desperate
negro disarmed him and made his escape
with both weapons
When Policeman Ivey appeared at the
house where the negro had taken refuge,
ne was received with volley of bullets,
which Terrell fired as he took to his heels.
The officer was mounted and followed,
drawing his own pistol. For a few mo-
ments bullets flew thick and fast, the
negro emptying two pistols at the officer
and the latter shooting every ball in his
own pistol before the desperate was
brought down. The wonder is that a half
dozen lives were not lost in the shooting
as 1t took place in thickly populated part
of the city and the shots attracted a large
number of people to the streets.
Mrs. Wilkinson. who was attacked by
the negro is in a Frustrated condition.

a negro man living on Pearl street, says
he did the shooting. He says he came
out of his house, saw a man in his front
yard and blazed away at him. The facts
do not seem to bear out this story. A post
by which Arnold was found was full of
shot, although it was clear across the
street from where the negro lived. 1t is
thought that Arnold was leaning against
the post when he was shot. The negro
will be held for assault with intent to MUIR

RATES on STATE RAILROADS.
Counter Petitions Now in CircuIa-
ton Among the Farmers.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 25.-The state railroad
commissioner will meet in regular session
tomorrow, and it is expected that the petit
ton circulated by the employees of the
Central railroad protesting against the re-
duction in fertilizers, which threatens to
cause a general reduction in wages among
the railroad employees, will come up. The
commissioners refuse to discuss the move
ment of the railroad employees for pSibh-
cation, but 1t is hardly believed that they
will agree TO a modification of the ferti-
lizer order. which they say was adopted
only after mature elaboration.
Another important phase of the rate re-
duction is the application now before the
commission for a general reduction of the
cotton rates. While the action of the rail-
road employees may not affect the fcrti-
lizer cut, il will probably have the effect
of preventing a similar reduction of tine
cotton rates, which has been asked for in
the name of the farmers.
The railroad commission has been put
on notice that the farmers of the state will
present a counter petition on the ferti-
aizer rates. This petition is now being
circulated among the farmers and 1t is re-
ported being largely signed. 1t is in
the form of a protest against any change
in the fertilizer rate act as it now stands
under the 20 per cent. cut, and is intended
to counterfeit the petitions against the re-
duction started among the Central rail-
ways employees at Macon. The farmers
petition, copies of which have already been
sent to the railroad commission. it is I'M
derstood, was started by the fertilizer men,
who assume that the railroad managers are
behind that of the railroad employees.
Macon, Ga. Jan. 25.-The Chamber of
Commerce met the railroad employees this
morning to discuss restoring rates on fer
tlizers. A committee of railway men is
trying TO get the chamber to join in petit
tioning the state railroad commission to
revoke its recent order, reducing rates 20
per cent The Chamber of Commerce re-
ferred the matter TO the transportation
committee. to act tomorrow. A majority
of the chamber, as individuals favored
the petition of the railway men, but the
BODY are in doubt as to the expediency of
taking a position in the matter

Atlanta, Ca. Jan. pa special TO the
Constitution from West Point, Ca, says:
REV. II. ]. Bruce. a Presbyterian minis
ter. was fished out of an old vat in an
abandoned lanyard in a field half a mile
from here yesterday morning. DR.. Bruce
disappeared last Thursday under rather
peculiar circumstances, and the indications
are that he fell into the vat that evening
and was drowned.
AT one time he preached here and then
at LAGRANGE. but more recently he has
been located in Iufaula, Ala, where he
had charge of a large and successful
church. DIR. Bruce came here from Eu-
faula Thursday. He was met in town by a
friend who lives a half-mile away. with
whom he went home, but for some reason
he declined to remain and started back to
town, telling his friend that he would re-
turn later. He came to West Point and
went TO the Chattahoochee house, where
he ate supper
1T is supposed that Dr. Bruce. in at
tempting to reach his friends home
Thursday night. lost his way and in pass
ing through the old field fell into the vat.
He leaves a wife and one child.
