SENATOR TILLMAN
IN ATLANTA TUESDAY

Senator Ben Tillman, of South Carolina,
was in Atlanta a few hours yesterday. He
arrived here at noon and left at o'clock
for his home in South Carolina.
Senator Tillman has just returned from
the west, where he has been on a lecture
tour. He was seen at the union depot
by Journal reporter just be-
fore he took his departure. Speaking of
political conditions Senator Tillman said:
~ have not been In many of the states
where the politicians are mixing up and
have found things to be rather quiet.
am of the opinion, however, that the DEM
ocrats are gaining strength every day
Regarding President Roosevelt Senator
Tillman remarked: 4
'I do not know what to think of the
new president. There is never any tell
ing what he is going to do, and so you
see we can't depend on him. have ex-
pressed myself so many times about that
Booker Washington dinner that L am tired
Of talking about It."
Last and greatest Of all, Senator Till

anything about politics, he is going to. be

quainted with politics, especially in South

LITTLE ROOM AT CAPITOL
FOR THE DAU GHTERS.

Governor Gambler has signed the bin
which recently passed the house grant
ing to the Daughters of the Confederacy
Of Georgia a place in the capitol TO be
used as headquarters for the order, as an
ONCE where they can transact their of
fetal business and also to preserve the
records and memoirs and valuable para
phernalia of the Georgia organization.
Adjutant General Robertson has not yet
designated what part of the building will
be granted them. At the present time ev-
cry office of the capitol is occupied. There
ore yet several committee rooms on the
third floor where a room might be allotted
to them. but 1t is not thought that one
room will be sufficient to accommodate the
order.
There is not now any room in the state
library for them, as this department is
crowded, and will have to be extended in
a short time to larger quarters. Many Of
the committee rooms in the capitol are
now occupied. by different divisions of the
various departments which have offices
on the first floor. There is no room on the
irst or second floors. With the limited
space 1t is safe to say that the room
which win be rendered the daughters for
headquarters will be small. However, ev-
cry effort will be made to give them the
best possible quarters

Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Nov 6.--Marked Improvement in
the cable list based on the rise here on yester-
day gave impetus to the wheat pit again to-
day and December opened &c to Ac higher,
at T21kM72%c. The general opening tone was
strong and there was a big demand for the
NAV delivery at 75kc. Offerings were very
light and scattered and then the western re-
ceipts had fallen on materially. Snow in the
Dakotas and the extreme northwest led 10
the belief that the crop movement would be
hampered. December sold up to T24c, but on
pront taking by longs eased back a trihe. Re-
ceipts were 1875 cars; Minneapolis and Duluth
reported $50 cars, making total for the three
points Of 765 cars, against the same number
last week and 1.Sn a year ago.
Corn opened strong. on improved cables De

ceipts were very small and on. q renewal of

celpts were "A cars.
Oats opened rather quiet and steady, Decem-
Der starting &c up. at 37Ac. The greater por-
tfOn of the business was In the May delivery
but prices early fluctuated narrowly The out
side demand was fair and professionally were
doing some business =. Receipts were las cars.
Prices for hogs were a shade lower, but there
was an early small demand which started
provisions a shade higher. This soon fell on,
however, and prices began to ease. January

THE PENDING BILL
WILL CONFLICT.

A bill introduced into the lower house
by the late Hon. Porter King, of Fulton,
providing that the books OF tax receivers
in the various counties OF Georgia shall
be opened by. the tax receivers on March
LIST instead Of April lst, as heretofore, and
Tor other purposes, is likely to cause some
conflict with the present Law if 1t is al
lowed to pass both houses and become q
law. s ~ q r' i.'.'
Under the kenersf law governing tax
receivers of tho state 1t is provided that
the governor, comptroller general and
treasurer shall meet not before March list
end select a day upon which all property
shall be valued for taxation purposes. This
day is usually fixed about March 18th
Under the pending bill there would be
no day fixed for the valuation of property
This 1t Is raid would cause q confusion
unknown in the state before, and the re-
suit would be predetermined. Tax returns
cannot be made until the property is valL
ued by the owner for taxation, and should
the bill become operative as law 1t would
conflict with the governor and others In
the performance of their duty. The pend
ing bill would not repeal the general law
to this effect. 1t is probable that the pend
ing bill will be amended to not conflict
with the present law. but serve its origi-
nal purpose.

THE DISPENSARY BILL
is SET FOR FRIDAY

Sea born Wright's bill amending the To-
cal option laws of the state so as to al
low counties to vote for total prohibition,
dispensaries or barrooms has been. made
the special order in the house Of repre-
sentatves for Friday.
The temperance committee has reported
the bill favorably and has recommended
that it pass. Mr.. Wright, the author.
contends that the bill will solve the liquor
problem in Georgia, IL it. is passed. He
says the counties will have the privilege
of voting for three things, where, as pres
emit, they can only vote for two. He says
il will give counties the right to have
dispensaries when a majority of the vot-
ers declare for them, but under the pres
eEt law the counties can only vote on
two things. total prohibition or barrooms.
Mr. Wright introduced this bill at the
last session Of the house but owing to
the great pressure of business before that
body the bill was continued over until
this session. Three hundred copies OF the
bill have been printed for the use Of the
house, and Mr.. Wright has made the re-
quest that the members of the house read
1t over before it comes up.
So far very little opposition has devel-
oped towards the measure, and the author
is of the opinion that It will pass the
house by an almost unanimous vote.
