Branchville. 5. C.. July 1.-THE cam
paign meeting at Aiken to-day was at
tended by 800 or 400 voters. about one
ninth of the voting population Of the
county, the audience being much smaller
than usual az such meetings
Ex-Gov. Evans who spoke first, said that
Senator 8lcLaurin was working as a
democrat In republican livery and that
he should join the republican party. He
said that Senator McLaurin voted for 800
per cent. duty on wool in committee.
Ex-senator Irby stated that Ex-Gov. Ev-
ans was his political child, and that when
Senator Tiliman favored the election OF
Mr. Ellerbee as governor he told Mr.. Ev-
ans he would see him elected and made
governor. Mr.. Tillman came to the as

of colored labor ia cotton mills, and held
that cO,ored labor was satisfied with and
best adapted to field work.
Senator McLaurin said he never rented
farm lands to negroes. although he could
get large rents from them. II 2 said ne
voted for a high tariff on wool in com
mittee because his vote made absolutely
no difference. He was standing by his
friend. Congressman Bailey, and the issue
was as to free raw material and not the
tax on wool. He claimed that himself and
Senator Tiuman simply wanted to equal
ize.tne Dingley bill and are In no way re-
spousible for it, as the republicans would
pass such n bill regardless of what he
thought or wanted. Senator Hayne Of
South Carolina years ago voted for duty
on indigo on the same ground.
State Senator Mayfeld opposed Senator
McTaurin's tariff views. He also opposed

Colley. who was injured so terribly in the
railroad accident yesterday, died about 8
clock. The Georgia railroad sent up
Drs. Ford and Doughty on a special
train. but they arrived too late. The road
is much censured for allowing iron pipes
to be carried on top of a car. This was
done In Atlanta. Then, too, the freight
car was next the passenger, when, accord
ing TO all railroad rules, the baggage car
should have come between. The accident
occurred in a CUT the pipe rolled off the
car, struck the embankment and crashed
through the car with the force of a can

one else was injured. Her father came

TWO BULLETS IN HIS BODY.
An Unknown Negro Found Dead en-
the Outskirts of Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga, July 14-The dead body Of
an unknown negro with two bullet holes
in his body, was found in a swamp near
the Soldiers home this morning. and it is
believed by some that he is one of the men.
who assailed Patrolman r. l.. Albert on
Broad street yesterday morning.
Ii Is more likely, however, that the bull
let which ended the negro's life were fred
by Luther Anthony. a negro farmer. An
thony shot at the negro yesterday after
noon, and II Is likely that he hit him, as
the body was found three-quarters Of a
mile from Anthony's home
This afternoon Thomas Osburn, an old
man who for some years has been in charge
of the home. called at the police station to
give notice OF the dead body being found
The dead negro was found In the edge Of
a swamp near the Soldiers Home spring
The discovery was made by two little ne
go boys.
Anthony identified the man as one he had
fired at yesterday after attempting TO ar
rest him, but said he had fired at him from
the front, while the wound was in the back.
This lends force TO the theory that the
dead man was the one the patrolmen shot
at while running after Officer Albert was
wounded.

NO POOL ON COTTON BUSINESS

1T CAN GET.

Disagreement Not Probable Unless
Some of the Roads Are Discovered
to BE Scooping in More Than Their
Proper Territorial Business Would
EntitIe Them to-The Petitions Tor
Lower Freight Rates on Cotton 40
BE Fought Most Vigorously.
Atlanta. Ga, July 1.-THE Southeastern
Tariff Association has wound up matters
for the present so far as the ques-
ton Of cotton rates is concerned
but viii hold another meeting tomorrow
to consider other matters
The Savannah and Griffin petitions VIII
be vigorously fought. To-day q policy Of
defense was outlined and committee ap-
pointed to draw up details. This commit
tee viii report on Aug 9. one day before
the petitions are heard by the railroad
commission, when the conference VIII re-
assemble 70 hear the committee report.
The defense will be that the rates on
cotton are lower iu the state of Georgia
than in any other cotton state; that the
railroads cannot stand the proposed re-
duction Of - Pc cent, and that the rates
on cotton here as compared with those
charged on grain in the northwest are not
excessive considering the bulk and value
of the crops
Messrs Purse of Savannah ana 81 Wer
OF Griffin were here to-day, but denied
that they were here on this business. The
roads have agreed that no apportionnent
OF cotton hauling business should be
made this year. 1t viii not be pooled as
heretofore Each line viii stand on rs
own bottom ana no fight will be made by
one line against another unless II is dis
covered that a line is scooplng more than
its proper territorial business, in which
event there might be q disagreement on
the question OF differental rates. No eX-
Illicit agreement was reached.
The Charleston and Savannah the Cen
tral and Plant systems and roads leading
into Charleston want the old six cents diff
ferential as between themselves and
Portsmouth if they can't get more They
urge in favor of their argument that the
ships charge higher rates than are charg-
ed for water transportation from Ports
mouth How much difference exists be-
tween the water rates is a question on
which supposed authorities fail to agree.
The matter viii come up again for further
consideration tomorrow.
The state fair matter will also come up
for final determination on Aug. 3. The fair
now waits upon the decision of the rail-
roads They are expected to put up their
pro rata of the fund to secure 1t to At

TRYING STREET Can TRANSFERS
The Consolidated Lines New System
Put in Operation.

The Consolidated Lines New system
Put in Operation.
The consolidated street railway lines are
inaugurating a system of transfer which
the management expects to perfect in
short time There are seven lines in the
consolidated system. While transfers are
not given at all points where the lines
cross each other they are so arranged, In
spector Kidwel says. that it is possible
to travel from any point on a line of the
system to any other point in the system
without paying an additional fare. With
the exception Of the points where verbal
transfers are made without transfer tick
cts only one transfer is given. The system
has been worked out by Inspector Kidwell,
who has devoted the last six weeks to it.
The transfers from the various lines are
as follows:
Whitaker and Abercorn street belt to
Duffy. Liberty, st. Julian, Broughton and
Bay streets, going either east or west
Barnard street line, to Liberty. Brough-
ton, Bay and Abercorn streets, going
SOUTH east or west.
Liberty street line to Barnard. Whitaker,
Abercorn, Habersham Price and East
Babersham and Broughton street line
from Waters road. Habersham street, Boil
ton street junction, and Broughton street.
to Broughton, Liberty Abercorn, Whita-
ker Habersham, Barnard, Montgomery
and Waters road, going in any direction.
Price street belt. from Price, Duffy, st.
Julian, West Broad and Montgomery
streets, to Liberty, Gwnnett, Bolton,
Habersham, Abercorn, Whitaker. Barnai d,
Montgomery West Broad and Broughton
streets. in any direction.
Big belt from Bay, Gwinnett, Mont
gomery, East Broad, Habersham and Lib
erty streets, to Indian, Barnard, Whita-
ker. Abercorn. Liberty. Coll.nsvile Price,
Duffy and West Broad streets, in any di-
rection.
West Broad street line from Barnard.
Liberty and West Broad streets. to
Broughton. Liberty, Montgomery, West
Broad and Duffy streets. in any direction.
It will require some time for the pat
rons of the lines to become acquainted
with the system of transfers and the
points at which they are made. During
the day, while the cars run frequent sche-
dulles, a limit of ten minutes at each point
where transfers are allowed. will be
punched in the margin OF the ticket in
which time the transfer may be made. At
night the limit is twenty minutes.
Transfers will be allowed only at the
points indicated on the transfer ticket
and If presented at any other point the
ticket Will not be accepted. The transfer
point, for instance, between the Barnard
snd Bay street lines is at Barnard and
BAY streets. The transfer point between
the Barnard and Abercorn street lines Is
al Bay and Drayton streets II is likely
that the system will be changed to some
extent, after It has been tried for awhile.
