GEORGIA EXHIBIT
UP AT CHARLESTON

Georgia's exhibit at the Charleston Ex-
position is almost completed. State Geol-
ogist W. S. Yeates. who is the special
commissioner in charge Of the work, re-
turned Tuesday from Charleston for
more material for the exhibit. He
left again last night and by Sat
urday will have the Georgia display in
splendid shape.
Mr.. Yeates says he Is surprised at the
magnitude OF the exposition at Charles
ton. He states that the buildings are
much prettier than those at the PAN
American and the electrical display is as
good. with the exception OF an electrical
tower. This tower. which attracted so
much attention at Buffalo IS lacking at
Charleston.
Nearly all the exhibits have been slow
In arriving. but Mr.. Yeates is OF the opin-
ion that everything will be IN readiness
By next week So far. according to Mr..
Yeates. she crowds have been very good.
but larger ones are expected when the
railroads begin the operation OF winter
schedules and rates.
NJ. Yeates says the Georgia exhibit will
compare favorably with any exhibit on
the grounds. and that he hopes to win
another prize as he did at the Buffalo
show.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1s-Cotton opened a shade
higher and moved within a narrow range most
of the morning. There was next to nothing
new beyond the fact that cables were more
than up to expectations. Bears made futile
efforts to break the market and met with de-
termined resistance. While there was little
doing bull confidence on the increase, and
nothing now stands in the way OF broadening
market except the holidays. People as a rule
do not, care to take much part at this season
OF the year. Receipts are being watched with
great interest and for a little while they will
have more or less influence in the daily course
of prices, although the more confident bulls
are picking up cotton in confidence of good
profits. The continent sold here against pur-
chases in Liverpool. where prices were one
point higher. Port receipts $4,000, against 3d.
900 last year, The more confident bulls are
holding on to their cotton. and those who want
to buy are simply holding back for favor
able opportunity or rather for the movement
when more convincing evidence OF the crop
shortage, Is apparent. 1t is not improbable
that we shall witness the abandonment Of all
such ridiculous estimates ten and half
million bales before a great while, and it will
be surprising If the trade does not soon regard
ten million the maximum. Some Missis-
sippi accounts assert that 30 per cent is yet
unpicked in the hill counties, and we believe
this statement to be correct but the snow in
that section referred to has changed the situa-
ton there and planters there state that the
cotton will fall out a result OF the snow
and causes still more damage than that caused
by rain

lie. Decidedly the most sensational turn
in the litigation was taken Saturday af-
ternoon, when Judge James L. Boyd. of
the United States district court, appoint
ed DR.. John II. McAden, of Charlotte.
and Mr.. w. Fl. Ragan, OF High Point,
N. C.. receivers Of the Worth Manufac-
turing company, owning and operating
cotton mills OF Worthwhile, Central Falls
and Randleman. The motion for the ap-
pointment of the receivers was made by
Jones & Tillett, OF Charlotte; Captain
Charles Price, Of Salisbury, and G. b.
Watson, ESQ.,, of Winston-Salem, attor-
neys for. Mr.. Robert w. Bingham, Of
Louisville, KY, and Mrs. Mary Mckee, of
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, heirs of the late DR.. j.
M. Worth. Judge Boyd directed the re-
ceivers to take immediate possession of
the assets of the Worth Manufacturing
company. Immediately, after the order
was signed, shortly after o'clock Satur-
day afternoon. Deputy United States
Marshal Millikan left for Worthwhile to
serve the papers.
The motion for the appointment of re-
ceivers was based upon the alleged in
SOlVency, or lulullneIll lLSOlNcilSys u SAS
company. The books of the company
according to the allegations in the bill OF
complaint, show that the Worth Manu-
featuring company now owes consld-
cradle sum of money, amounting in the
aggregate to s125,00O due and payable
within the next 80 days. The complaint
further alleges that the company lost
So, 600 during the last fiscal year. and that
it is now operating at loss OF about
$4,000 per month. It is understood that
the bulk, or a large share, of the estate
of the late DR.. Worth consists of stock
in the Worth Manufacturing company,
which Is capitalized at 100000. Judge w.
p Bynum, Jr., has been designated as
counsel for the receivers.
The case gets into the Federal court
for the reason that Mr.. Bingham and
Mrs. Mckee are non-residents The
prominence of the parties involved, the
number of counsel employed. including
some of the ablest and most brilliant In
the state, the fact that every inch OF
ground within the state and Federal Ju-
risdiction is being resorted to and con-
tested with unusual zeal and ability,
promise to make this the most cele-
brated case of it's kind in the history OF

I'D there TO inspect the work. in company
with their read superintendent. Mr.. Lon
Wimbish, fell like a barrel Of ice water
ON the committee. and they were anxious
to let the matter drop. The commission
ers reported that the road congress or
convention held in Atlanta was good
thing. but that the demonstrations fell
far short of expectations. appearing to
them more like a scheme 10 sell road ma
chinery than as bona 1de effort TO teach
the people anything about road building.
They agreed that Superintendent VIM
bish could take carts and spades ana
beat them building roads, with all OF their
machinery
The committee agreed to hold con-
vention In Macon at some future date, ana
invite the people Of the surrounding coun-
try to come here and see how Bibb man

CHARLES R. WHITE. 7.
ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE

MACON, Ca. Dec. 17.-Twelve jurors
and a house full of interested spectators
are listening today to the details of the
killing Of Armand Huguely by Charlie RI
White.
White and Robert Logue are charged
with murder. They have pleaded not gull
~. White admits the shooting, but says
Il was done in self-defense. Logue says
he was present, but had no hand in the
affair.
The state contends that Huguely was
shot down in cold blood while working
with one of his horses in his wagon yard,
in the rear of the Pulaski bar on Null
berry and Bridge Row. White and Logue
claim that they had a right to be in
the wagon yard, although 1t was Hugue-'
ly's and that they were attacked by
Huguely and his father and the shooting
was absolutely necessary. The state
claims that the two men went into the
wagon yard for the purpose Of commit
ting murder and that they had no thought
Of giving Huguely a chance for his life.
A quarrel had previously arisen over
game of cards, when Huguely protested
against the alleged cheating of Mr.. ].
Q. Adams. Of Pulaski county. Adams
now claims that he was not involved in
the game Of cards, however, and the
questions that arise in the case are very
difficult to determine.

That 100000 borrowed by Governor
Gambler. on behalf OF the state last April
will fall due on Christmas day. and
Treasurer Park is now making arrange
ments to pay back the banks the money
which they advanced.
Interest to the amount OF 5000 will
have to be paid on the loans. but 1t is
considered a very small amount when the
sum borrowed is considered. The loan
was made on account of the decision OF
the Supreme court that the public prop
erty fund could be used for no other pur-
pose. The money was borrowed to pay
the school teachers. The Southern Bank
OF Savannah furnished $4,000 OF the
amount. the Citizens Bank Of Savannah
furnished $4,000. the Neal Loan and
Banking Company OF Atlanta furnished
S75 600, the Fourth National Bank of At
lanta furnished 81. 900 and the Atlanta
National Bank OF Atlanta furnished
S25, 600.
Treasurer Park will also have to depos-
II next week 100000 of the state money
as a sinking fund and on January 1 will
have to pay out 900 as interest on the
public debt If the supreme court should
hold that the Howell resolution is con-
stitutional the money could not be used
on January 1, as the decision viii not be
forthcoming until January 10.

CHECK GOODS WEAVERS
+" ARE STILL OUT ON STRIKE

AUGUSTA, Ca, Dec. 1.-THE strike of
the check goods weavers at the Sibley
mill still continues, and although several
conferences have been held between the
mill authorities and representatives of
the strikers, no agreement has been
reached. Both sides profess to be very de-
sirous Of ending the strike and the point
of difference between them is very slight,
yet neither side seems willing to make
the slight concession necessary to reach a
settlement. Some alarm was caused
among merchants Saturday by the rumor
that had been spread that all textile
workers would go out this week II a set
Element was not reached, but investigation
showed this to be merely an idle rumor.
The strike is not an organized strike, and
union and non-union weavers are engag-
ed in it, There is no probability that the
textile union will take any action what
ever.

LEASE SYSTEM
SAYS THAT STATE CAN LARGELY
INCREASE ITS REVENUE FROM
THE LEASE OF CON-
VIcTS.

G.. V. Gress. OF Wilcox county, author Of
the bill which gives to Atlanta and the
state a new union depot, announced to-
day that he would again DO a candidate
for legislative honors, and his friends say
that he VIII be, elected without oppos.-
ton.
Many OF the legislators were under the
impression that Mr.. Gress would not be a
candidate again. and those who expected
10 return were regretting that they would
not have the pleasure Of seeing Mr.. Gress
in his accustomed seat. But strong pres
sure has been brought to bear on Mr..
Gress during the past few days and he has
consented 10 run.
Mr.. Gress says that the main plank in
his platform for the legislature Will be the
revising OF the system Of leasing the conT
yfcts OF the state. Mr.. Gress is OF the
opinion that the state will receive kio.VVO
more every year than IL does now. II the
system OF allowing sub-leasing Is abol-
ished.
1t VIII fan 70 the next legislature 70
provide for the leasing OF the convicts,
as the present lease will expire In the next
two years. Mr.. Gress states that he has
In mind a bill that win make money for
the state out OF the convicts, and he Is
going TO work as hard to have this bill
passed as he did TO get the depot bill
through
Nfr. Gress has worked convicts on his
lumber mills for a number of years, but
ne always divides his labor. At ma
tority OF his camps he has free labCr
altogether. but at several he has half
convicts and half free labor. He is thor
oughly acquainted with the convict sys-
TEN and his knowledge on this line will
no doubt have considerable weight in the
next legislature when the question comes
I'd.
