Atlanta Minister Resigns Passionate to Ac-
cept Office Under Mckinley.
Dr.T. S. Hopkins, pastor of the FRS
Methodist church of Atlanta, has resign
ed from the ministry in order to accept
an honor at the hands of President-elect
Mckinley, who has offered him the
choice between taking charge of the
Smithsonian Institute and becoming
minister to Greece.
Dr. Hopkins congregation was compos-
ed of the strongest democrats of the city,
but that did not keep him from affiliat-
ing with the Mckinley movement last
November, and as a recognition of his
support Mr.. Mckinley has made this Of
fer.
DR.. Hopkins has been prominently
mentioned for a bishopric in his church,
but this turn of affairs will likely keep
him out.

THE TREATY IS DISCUSSED,
ONE OF IT'S PROVISIONS Is A
MENACE TO THE SOUTH.
The Eighty Eighth Article Gives
Great Britain the Right to Bring
Suit on Illegally Iussued
Bonds.
Bonds.

The discussion of the arbitrati on treaty
in the senate has developed a new sensa-
ton, and brought to the front point
in the treaty in which every southern
state is vitality interested.
This is that the treaty would practi-
cally give to the international court of
arbitration jurisdiction to try claims of
any kind held by Great Britain against
any one of the states.
Tie tyaty submits to arbitration all
questions in difference between them
which they failed to adjust by diplomat
ic negot iations. That this is intended
to include claims against states is evident
from the eighty-eighth article, which is
as follows:
"In case where the question involved
is one which concerns particular state
or territory of the United States it shall
be open to the president of the United
States to appoint judicial officer of such
state or territory to be one of the arbi-
i TRAITORS"
1t is urged that this is a n ost serious
matter to those states which have denied
their liability on milloEs of bonds which
were Illegally issued by the carpetbag
governments of the south during recon-
struction days.
The state of Georgia, for instance, has
her name signed to about ten million of
| these fraudulent bonds, which she has
refused to pay. These could be trans
ferred to the citizens of Great Britain
and suit would be brought in the inter-
national court of arbitration.
This suit, of course, would be against
the government of the United States, be-
cause Georgia is not an independent ma
ton, but is state of the United States.
| If the arbitration court should decide
that the bonds are valid and Judgment
should be given against the United
States Georgia would be in most en-
barrassing position if she refused to re-
! imburse the government.
What is true of Georgia is also true of
| many other southern states,

One Negro Kills Another at a Crib In Cuth-

At Cuthbert Harry Hart is dead from
wounds inflicted a few nights ago by
Jerry Prather. Prather has been work

New York with his family, and the

Prather beating Hart on the head with a

to prison, when it was ascertained that
Hart had been shot five times.
Prather admits inflicting the wounds,
and says he cid it because he caught
Hart stealing corn from his employer

Hart said before he died that he and
Prather agreed to steal the corn and had
carried some away, but had been de-

PROTECTION FOR PLANTERS.
GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN FAVOR A
DUTY ON COTTON.
They Take the Position That the
South Should Receive the Same
Benefits as the North.

Representative Lester of the Savannah
district says he is confident the trainers
of the Dingley tariff bill will place pro-
tective duty on Egyptian cotton. If the
committee neglects to put such proyis-
ion in the bill, Mr.. Lester will offer an
amendment to that effect. He realizes
that there is wide difference of opinion
on this subject in Georgia and other cot
ton producing states in the south, but he
believes that both the long and short sta
pie cotton should receive the same pro-
lection that is given to the manufactur-
ers of cotton goods in the north.
While Mr.. Lester insists that he is not
a protectionist, he contends that if pro-
lection is to be the policy of the next adj
ministration, the south should claim the
same benefits that accrue to the northern
manufacturers.
All of the members of the Georgia
delegation who are returned to the next
congress will cooperate with Mr.. Lester
in looking after the interests of the cot
ton producers when the new tariff law
comes up for consideration. Some of
the members from the up-country say a
protective duty should be placed on cot
ton imported from India, which comes
into competition with the short staple.
Georgia may not have a representative
on the ways and means committee in the
next congress. The death of Represent
alive Crisp and the retirement of Rep
resentative Turner deprives the state of
It's representation, unless Mr.. Reed
should bestow the favor upon Messrs.

lett is not averse to leaving the elections
committee to move up to the ways and
means, and Speaker Reed may confer the
prize upon the energetic member from
Macon.
