ROCKED
BY UNKNOWN
PARTIES
MISSILES ARE THROWN INTO
PASSENGER cARS-DETEcT.
IVES PLACED ON LOOK.
OUT, Y.

Southern railway detectives have been
working around Mabelton. a station Is
miles from Atlanta, for the past several
days to locate If possible the unknown
persons who have been making practice
of rocking Southern railway passenger
trains at that point.
A few nights ago several rocks were
sent crashing into the windows of passen-
ger train No. 10. bound for Chattanooga.
Fortunately nobody was hurt. but the
passengers on the train We're frightened.
The first rock hit the train soon after 1t
passed MabeltOn. and just before arriving
at Austell others came from the bank Of a
high cut and went into the windows. The
rocks were thrown with great force. as
they went entirely across the cars and
broke windows opposite FROM the side
they came in.
This rocking has occurred four. or five
times within the past week and the Off
Gals have sent detectives to the scene t.
capture the rock throwers IL possible.
There have been some miraculous escapes
from being hit with the rocks and from
being cut by the shattered glass
The rocking occurs at night and to stop
the trains and make a search for the
throwers would be useless, as they would
escape under the cover of darkness. Sew
eral traps have been laid. however, and
the officers are hopeful of gettintT the
criminals.

HOTTER AND HOTTER
WAKES FIGHT IN
ROME
INTEREST IN THE DIsPENSARY
ELECTION is AT FEVER HEAT.
EDITORS STILL AT WAR.

ROME, Ca, Jan. 27.-This city is all
agog with the dispensary campaign.
Every device is resorted to and every
imaginable argument is put forth to per-
suade citizens to vote either for or against
the dispensary. The lines have been care
fully drawn between the two factions.
Both sides are claiming the victory and
are loudly proclaiming their cause. Hard
ly an individual is non-committal and
scores of men who have been very tao
turn heretofore in all elections are now
bold to make known their choice.
The Times of Sunday morning contained
a page in heavy black type of a copy of
a circular letter mailed by the liquor
men to the wholesale dealers over the
south asking for contributions TO the cam
paign fund in Rome. The letter states
that money is needed to defray expenses,
that Seaborn Wright is leading the cru
SADIE here and if he is successful the
whole state is in danger. The letter di-
reefs that all checks be made payable to
certain parties in Rome.
The publication of the letter created an
immense sensation, and the dispensary
people claim it will greatly assist their
cause
The Tribune of Sunday morning pub
ished an extract from The Wesleyan
Christian Advocate. edited by DR.. w. c.
Lovett. The article condemns the dispen-
sary in no uncertain terms and claims
that 1t is not the solution of the liquor
question. 1t ridicules the idea of f1nan-
cial gain in connection with the dispen-
sary claiming that 1t is a sin to realize
anything from traffic so debauching.
The Tribune also pays its respects to
Hon. Seaborn Wright and calls attention
to his political record, characterizing 1t as
vacillating and insincere. This paper also
says that Mr.. Wright entered into a deal
to obtain the liquor vote when he ran for
the legislature.
Mr.. Wright very strongly denies the ac-
cusation in The Times and states he
never did enter into combination with the
liquor element, that they voted against
him when he ran for, the legislature. All
kinds of accusations are being made and
as often denied. This week there will be
a large number of speeches made by the
two parties. Mr.. Seaborn Wright and
Mr.. Nose Wright will be heard in many
country precincts, while Mr.. r. A. Denny
and other speakers will tell the people OF
Lindale to vote against the dispensary to-
night 1t is probable a grand rally OF the
dispensary advocates will take place in
Rome in a few days.

WENT TO JAIL RATHER
THAN GIVE Up
KEYS TO JAIL
ROW BETWEEN SHERIFF OF HALL
COUNTY AND HIS DEPUTY
TAKES AMUSING TURN.

GAINESVILLE, Jan. 27.-The first week
of the January term of Hall superior court
closed Saturday night The January term
of the superior court in election year
means a great deal to the politicians, as
many states are made during this term.
AS stated in The Journal last week
Sheriff Gilmer removed his deputy, j. A.
Lyle for reducing a bond over his pro-
test, but Mr.. Lyle failed to deliver the
keys to the jail. etc. Since then Mr.. Gil
mer had a prisoner to put in Jail and the
Judges attention was called to the fact.
Judge Estes Immediately ordered the sher-
If to go down and demand the keys OF
the Jail and If denied them to arrest the
man who had them IL it took every man
OF military age in the county to do IT..
Mr.. Lyle was arrested and brought into
court, where he was ordered by Judge
Estes to turn the keys over to the sher-
III. Mr.. Lyle was In the court house and
heard the order but went to the jail re-
fused to deliver the keys, forced himself
to be arrested, supposedly, for the politi-
cal effect it would produce. 1t is said
that he will now sue the sheriff on his
contract and more sensational develop
ments are expected. 1t is true that Mr..
Gilmer made a contract with Mr.. Lyle
to be his deputy during the last campaign
but he claims that he did not contract
with him to reduce bonds over his pro-
test or to run the sheriff's office. Mr..
Lyle will run for sheriff this time and
every move he makes is expected to have
a direct bearing on his race. The people
of the county are taking very keen in
terest in all that is being done.
f. NJ. Bell, clerk of the superior court,
will be opposed by Jot s. Allen, who ran
against him in the last campaign. Be
yond the race Of the sheriff and clerk but
little interest is being taken in county pol
flies

Among the exhibits to be made at the
coming manufacturers fair. few will sur
pass in interest and comprehensiveness
the very complete exhibit to be made by
the Psychological school.
Secretary w. G. Cooper went out to the
Tech this morning. and was received
with assurances that the exhibit from the
school would be very large, and would
be a gratifying surprise to the people OF
the south. Both Captain Lyman Hall and
the superintendent of the different de-
partments expressed the liveliest interest.
Among the exhibits of the school will
be a twenty horse power engine and dy-
namo made. in the machine shop. There
will also be "a complete set OF mechanical
tools, besides a number of finely tempered
raZors. 1t is also likely that an extreme
ly handsome carving set viii be exhibited,
as well as the famous bronze doors which
took a prize at the last exposition. These
doors are quite valuable and have recently
been sold. but it is hoped an arrangement
can be made by which they may be ex-
hibited.

a fine exhibit. showing all the stages of
designing. dyeing and weaving, from the
simplest to the most Intricate patterns.

IN FLOWERS.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The coronation
has filled much space in the press and
there are signs that the pageant will be
staged more artisticaliy than the jubilee
procession five years ago, cables the Lon
don correspondent of The Tribune. st.
James and Fleet streets were the only
portions of the route which were deco
rated by combined effort and with unity
of purpose. There is now a strong move
ment in favor of placing a central body
in charge of the entire route with promi-
nent members of the academy as an ad-
visory committee.
House agents report that the season
is the most brisk known in many years.
A large number of houses are in the mar
ket and prices are higher than usual but
not extortionate. Syndicates are already
obtaining control of large sections of
the route, but they are not repeating the
mistake OF frightening the crowds away
as was done in 1897. The price of seats by
common consent will be moderate.

ONE is KILLED,
OTHERS ARE HURT

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-In an accident,
known as "a Slip at the plant of the
Illinois Steel company, at South Chicago
early today. Mitchell Bronish was killed
and John Polackowich and three others,
names unknown, were so severely injured
that they will probably die.
The steel company refused to make
known the cause of the accident. but it
is thought the cold weather chilled the
molten iron at the top of the blast furn-
ace No. 10 until 1t had clogged. Then
when the man opened the vent at the bot
tom to draw off the metal the whole mass
fell down, forcing the seething metal out
upon the workmen with a splash. The
men were covered from head to foot with
the white hot metal. Polackowich. crazed
with pain and wrapped in sheet of
fame, ran screaming toward the lake.
He was overtaken, however, and the
flames extinguished. The injured men
were carried to the company's hospital
