Too many legal demands for several years, like the clerk s, sheriff 6, and newspapers, have been arbitrarily rejected, thds entail ing suits against the county, and in nearly every instance the county has lost and been compelled to. pay the de- mands with costs.

 For the first time I am informed that

MINIS STRANGE POLITICS.
Candidate for Mayor who Refuses to
Solicit a Vote.


Atlanta, Aug. 14-An announcement
made to-day by Major Livingstone Minis,
president of the Capitol City Club and
candidate for mayor, has created some
thing of a sensation in the political cir
Giles.
Major Minis gave out a statement in
which he says he will ask no man TO
vote for him.
His views are regarded as decidedly
unique and are particularly interesting be-
cause of the fact that his three opponents
Frank p. Price, l. S. Mitchell and Nym
Mccullough are still hustling for votes,
asking the SURFACES of every man they
meet. They say Major Minis plan has
been hitherto unheard of in campaign
movements and that he will surely lose.
Major Minis statement follows:
4 consider the office of mayor one of
such dignity and consequence that per-
sonal solicitation of votes would cheaper
both itself and the candidate. l never
have aud never shall personally solicit
any mans vote for the office, nor will
pay any man or men to solicit votes for
me. l will have nothing of the kind nor
will | spend cent nor permit my friends
to do So either directly or indirectly, in
the purchase of votes l would not have
the office If ii is to be procured by bought
votes, and yet l have voluntary express

pie TO lead me TO believe / will be elect

they are spontaneous, unbought and I'M

mind or vote unquestioned and for any
reason or feeling that seems best to him

fight ensued between one of them and
Hall. The fight became general, the other
Corbett taking hand in it. DR.. Hall
was stabbed on both sides of his neck and
was almost disemboweled by a long cash
across the Pit of his stomach. He also
received several wounds on the back
He claims that both men cut him,
though witnesses disagree on this. The
sheriff went to the scene, but no arrests
have been made as yet. Hall may re-

him.

WRECK ON THE PLANT SYSTEM.
Freight Train Ditched and Smashed
by Broken Rail.

by Broken Rail.
Valdosta, Ca, Aug. H.-There was a
dis astrous wreck en- The Plant System just
before noon to-day near the Alapaha riv-
er. between MAYOR and Stockton.
A freight train of 20 cars drawn by two
engines was running at a rapid rate down
toward the long trestle. when a broken
rail derailed the fifth car from the en-
CINE. and ditched 81 of the cars behind
it. piling them up to a hight of 30 feet
along the track and right-of-way, and de-
molishing most of them.
A pile driving crew had just been left
at Stockton or it would have been in
the wreck and the loss of life would have
been great.
The noon passenger train was just half
an hour behind the freight, and had the
wreck not ed to the freight, the pas
serger train would have been in it. 1t
seems that only the hand of fate pre-
vented heavy loss of life.
The passenger trains are now being OPP
erat1d over the Atlanta, Valdosta and
Western road from Haylow and this ar
rangement will continue until the wreck
is cleared away. The engineer of the first
engine saw the broken rail but was una
bic to stop the train. which <Has a heavy

ATLkNTA's DEPOT PROBLEM.
SPECIAL COMMISSION HAS INTER-
ESTENG SESSION.

Commissioners Want the Central,
Atlanta and West Point and the
Georgia Roads to Get out of the
AtIanta Depot or Pay Rent-Plans
Furnished by the Railroads Will
Re Used as a Basis of Further Dis
cussion.
Atlanta. Aug 14-After an all day ses-
sion in the state capitol to-day the At
lanta Special Depot Commission appoint
Ell a. the last Legislature adjourned until
Sept II.
The features of the session were the de
cided inclinatlons of the commissioners
u make the Central Atlanta and West
Point and the Georgia roads get out of
the present depot and the agreement OF
all the roads to reiinquish their claims to
interests ia the property.
The commission claimed that the Cen
trail. the Georgia and the Atlanta and
West Point roads owed the state back
rental for the use Of the depot. The roads
denied this and held out firmly against
the claim. They admitted that the state
owned the land on which the depot stands
and portion of the building. but claimed
that as the roads had contributed TO the
cost of the building they stiI had the
right to use it until another structure is
erected.
Gov Gambler said that the state would
not dllvest them OF their right unless new
depot was built.
Presideut Egan of the Central said the
agreement to relinquish all claims in the
property when new structure was built
would meet the approval of the Central.
Commissioning Morris Brandon insisted
that the three roads should get out of the
depot at once or pay rent. Senator West
and Commissioner Bowers agreed with
him.
The commission will use the plans sub
mitted by the roads last summer as
basis for discussion OF the new depot The
plans provide for an e,evated station, be-
ginning at the Forsyth street bridge and
running to LLOYD street, with two surface
tracks for transfer of freight. The COM
mission would not agree to the plans last
year, but will use them in all future dis
cussions as a foundation for something
else.
In the session to-day President Egan
declared that the city of Atlanta was at
fault In failing TO agree to the plan and
in objeculng to everything proposed by
the roads. In the interval between now
and next meeting the roads will get to-
gether and formulate other plans for the
consideration of the commission. All the
roads were represented in the meeting
and all the special commissioners were
present.
