Deputy Bennett Fatally shot.

Macon. Ga, April 5.-Deputy Sheriff
John w. Bennett was shot, perhaps
fatally, tonight by Dick Rice, another
young white man. 1t is claimed by
Rice that the shooting was accidental.
There seems to be confusion on this
point. The two men were taking
glass of beer. Bennett handed his pis-
toll to Rice and asked him If he had
nerve enough to shoot. The pistol shot
and the bullet cut into the aorta Ben
nett reached out his hand, took the pis-
tol, put 1t in his pocket, walked to the
door and called a hack, saying he was
fatally wounded and wanted to go
home

BERNER REPLIES TO GUERRY.
Frank Potts Says That He Wrote,
Signed and Paid for the Famous
Telegram.

Atlanta, April 5.-Hon. R. L. Berner
of Forsyth has written card in which
he clears up the whole mystery of the
famous Frank Potts telegram, said to
have been sent to T. ]. Carlin at Ma
con, in which it was asked that oppo-
sition to Berner for the Senate be with
drawn as he would favor the liquor in
terests and words to that effect. This
is the dispatch which Hon. Dupont
Query charges was written by Hon. j.
M. Terrell, who signed T'cJcts' name to
it. In Berner's card appears a letter
from Mr.. Terrell denying that he
wrote the telegram and stating he had
no knowledge whatever with regard to
it. Another letter is from Mr.. Potts,
who states that he himself wrote, sign
ed and paid for the telegram and sent
it on his own responsibility. These and
other letters show that the telegram
was sent without the knowledge or
collision of either Mr.. Berner or Mr..
Terrell. This telegram ait one time
promised to prove the sensation of the
present campaign for Governor.

show the comparative capitalization,
production. employment wages pal,
etc. According - them, between 1879
and 1900 the number of Touring and
grist mills increased by nearly 1000,
the capital invested in them increased
over $4,000 900, and the annual value
of their products by $47,000,000. The
total number of wage-earners en-
ployed was deceased by 10000 and the
total wages paid decreased $435. 900.
The Touring and grist mill industry is
completely controlled by trusts, and
its development" has been claimed by
apo1ogistS of trusts to be a vindication
of this natural and inevitable econo-
mic movement"
A very different movement is shown
by the census figures on the cheese,
butter and milk factories-which are
not yet trust-owned. Within the sans
ten years the number of such factories
has been almost doubled and the capt.
tai invested and the yearly value of the
product have both been doubled. At
the same time the number of wage
earners has slightly increased and the
total wages paid have increased by
$1,74s,O00- nearly 40 per cent.
1t should not surprise anybody that
this difference exists, because it has
been the proposal of the trust makers
from the first to 'cut off unnecessary
employees. That Is one of the economic
steps by which they averred that they
were going to increase profits. A COM
paratively few of the employees of in
dustries affected mostly commercial
travellers-saw the impending danger,
and made a stand against the trust
evil, but there was not enough of them
to have any material effect.
The unquesuonable fact is that
trusts are detrimental in every way to
the interests of the great masses of
the people, and showings of compare
! tive increases in general results do
not prove prosperity" for the masses,
but only for the proprietors who are
not only reducing labor. but also tax
ing the consumer to the limit. while
they are driving competitors out of
business through railroad discrimina-
tons and other violations of the laws
! of the land. The trust problem is one
of the most serious that confront the
American people.
