In the Georgia Legislature Over the
Prohibition Bill.

Atlanta, Ga, November 21.-The
greatest excitement known in the gen.

been caused by the debate over the

several weeks g but the debate was
not commenced until today. vote

bill. The fight has become one involv-
ing every section of the state. The
ministers Of various denominations
and tAe state prohibition society nave
taken an active part. Personal let
ters have been written by the presi-
dents of six Georgia Colleges to the
members of the legislature, asking the
passage of the bill. Mayor Woodward,
of Atlanta, recently addressed a letter
to the mayors of Savannah, Augusta,
Macon, Rome and Columbus, request
ing them to come here and protest
against the passage of the bill, which
they did.
People from all sections of the state
were in the galleries when the debate
opened today, among them being many
ladies and several classes of school
children from the city public schools,
who came to lend their moral support
to the passage of the measure. The
debate continued all day and at times
the speakers grew very bitter in their
arguments against the opposing sides.
Representative Willingham says he Is
confident the bill will pass.

NEW FLORIDA LINES.
~Southern's Link CompIeted-Seaboard
and Coast Lines Contentious Set
tied.

Columbia, S. c., November 21-The
extricated itself from the dilemma in
thich it was placed last spring whe
he Seaboard acquired the Southbound
division of the Florida Central and
Peninsula, which the Southern had
been using for its Florida connection.
It's lease expires January LIST, but the
has found a parallel outlet
from Columbia to Savannah.
Trains are now running over a new
link rt~hirty-two miles i'm length be-
tween Columbia and Perry. AT this
point the Southern'S Florida specials
Will use the Carolina Midland, which
has been practically rebuilt by the
Southern; Thence forty-six miles to
Allendale on he Charleston and West
ern Carolina, which is operated by the
Coast Line and will be used by the
Southern to Tennessee, thirty-five miles.
From this latter point the Southern en-
tiers Savannah over tihe Plant system,
ffty-three miles. By this arrangement,
the Southern built but thirty-two miles
of road and obtained a route Of 166
miles between Columbia and Savannah,
which is but little longer than the
Seaboard's acquisition, the Southbound,
143 miles.
Chief Engineer Wells supervised the
construction of the Perry branch, built
by T. B. Jones & Co., of Baltimore.
The completion of this thirty-two miles
was accomplished in exactly four and
"a half months, a phenomenal record,
considering that the road cuts through
a sand mountain and hence across the
swamps of the Edisto, requiring diff
cult work night and day. The track
is of very heavy rock ballast and heavy
vestibules over this route will be in
a~ugurated December 10th.
Columbia, S.. c., November 21.-The
Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard
Air Line have arrived AT an amicable
adjustment of the wrangQe occasfoned
by THE former building a sidetrack
across the Seaboard's right of way on
Lincoln street, this city. General Man.
ager Kenly, of the Coast Line, appear
ed before a special meeting Of city
council today and disclaimed intention
of violating any ordinance or of I'm
friendliness to THE Seaboard. The
ouncil adopted a resolution granting
right Of way to the Coast Line, not to
interfere with the Seaboard's main line.
This was accepted by Captain v. E.
McBee, general superintendent OF the
Seaboard.

THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
President Spencer Testifes About Its
Railroads I'm Georgia..

Macon, Ca, November 2l.-President
Samuel Spencer, Of the Southern rail-
way, was the star witness today I'm the
hearing Of the injunction sui of GER
tain Macon merchants against the
Southern.
The most important and surprising
statement made by Mr.. Spencer was
that his oad did not own a dollars
worth of stock In the Central Railway
of Georgia and never has: that his
holdings consisted OF one share OF
stock which was necessary to qualify
him as a director.
In reply to questions regarding a
speech he had made in Savannah in
which he assured h people h a they
had nothing to fear from the South
ern's ownership OF the Central, he said
that the statements had been made at
a time when a deal was pending which
he felt justified them, but the deal
had fallen through. President Conner
sometimes acted on his advice, but
frequently did things against his Wig
orous opposition.
Mr.. spencer stated that his road
owned 1000 of the q. 900 shares Of the
Georgia Southern and Florida stock.
but admitted that, while a minority
stakeholder, by an alliance the South
ern did control the road and he was
in a position to dictate it's policy. The
Southern owned the Atlanta andFlorida
and the Georgia Midland and Gulf. 1t
owned the ponds OF the Macon and
Birmingham and expected ultimately
to control h property. These roads.
he maintained, were not competing
lines in the meaning Of Georgia legis-
lation.
Some evidence was taken showing
the good effect of the Southern's de-
velopment on local conditions at Ma
con.

FALSE RUMORs AS TO A MURDER

Richmond, Va, November 21.-1nves-
tigation of the report that in Lee coun-
ty young Tate had hot and killed
Evan Bledsoe, he slayer OF his father,
in pursuance of a vow to avenge the
death of his father, who was killed by
Bledsoe a few days ago., shows that the
report was a mistake.
Bledeoe, who was discharged by the
examining magistrate. was seen today.
Nor is there any foundation for the re-
port that the killing Of Granville Lee
by H. S. Jennings vas connected with
theTate- Bledsoe matter. There is no
feud growing put Of the shooting OF
Tate, and no further trouble is feared
in the county. Most of the points in
Lee county are remote from telegraph1c
communication and hence the ruTsors
that have gotten out.
