hole fully 20 feet below the surface Of the
street. Accommodations will be provided
for $500 people.

OF good all through the south. A large
corps of speakers teachers, evangehsts
and singers will come with the party.
The site on which the meetings will be
held Is the old capitol lot just across from
postofice. Large excavations have been
made here, preparatory to the erection OF
a business block. so the campmeeting VIII
be held at the bottom of the excavation,
20 feet below the street, an immense can
vas covering being stretched overhead
The use Of the lot has been granted by
John s. Owens, the manager OF the Equit-
able Loan and Security company.
Services will commence about the mid
die of May. and continue for at least

by Charlie Tillman, already known all
over the south for his splendid work at
similar gatherings. He will be assisted by
a large choir.
II has been many years since Atlanta
has had a regular campmeeting In the
middle Of the city. One Of the unique
features OF the event is that tents viii
be raised at one end Of the lot, ana
number OF the visiting party will live
there.

MERCER STUDENTS WILL
DEBATE ON PROHIBITION

MERCER UNIVERSITY, Macon, Ca,
April s.-Commencement this year will
be greatly addedAto by the annual cham
pion debate between the Ciceronian and
Phi Delta Literary societies, due to the
live issue that Is to be dealt with; also
the champion debate is looked upon as the
greatest debate Of the year, as its partici-
pants are as a fule veterans in the art Of
discussion, having taken part before in
prominent conflicts.
The subject for debate is: Resolved, That
state prohibition for Georgia would be pre-
ferable to the present system of local OPP
ton.
The Ciceronians will uphold the afirma-
tive and the Phi Deltas the negative. The
Ciceronians will be represented by A. L.
Pyle, NJ L. Keith. w. n. Johnson. The Phi
Deltas by ]. F. Wood, H. S. Hartwig, N.
L. Stapleton. The men are able, and the
subject being one of the live issues of the
day, and being associated with the pres
ent gubernatorial race of this state, will
arouse considerable interest. Both socie-
ties are counting on the victory.
In regard to the summer school of the
south, to be held at Knoxville beginning
July 18th, 1t is the purpose OF President
Pollock, If sufficient interest is aroused,
to secure a special train, which will leave
Macon and go via Atlanta, there taking on
a delegation, then stopping at Chattanoo-
ga for three hours, giving ample time in
which to visit Lookout Mountain, and ar
irving at Knoxville about nightfall About
one-fourth the required number Of dele
gates have obtained transportation. The
train will leave Macon on the morning of
the 1st of June.
President Pollock and Professor Kilpat-
rick are the instigators of this move and
are putting forth many efforts to push 1t
through.

RECIPROCITY
FOR CUBA
IN HOUSE DEBATE STUBBORN
RESISTANCE DEVELOPS TO-
DAY AGAINST REDUCTION OF
TARIFF IN ISLAND.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE house
bezan its session at II O'Clock IN
order to expedite the Cuban reciprocity
hui. A veto message was received from
the president Of a bill pensioning Inomas
+. walter and was referred 70 the COM
rnittee on invalid pensions
Consideration OF the Cuban reciprocity
iii was resumed and Mr.. jenkins. OF WIS
consin. spoke on the political status OF
Cuba. maintaining that there should DC
NO SUSPENDED sovereignty and that az tne
present time Cuba was under the political
domain Of the United States.
Mr.. Warner. OF Illinois. who followed.
was also against the bill. he insisted that
the measure was not along Republican
lines.
Mr.. DeArmond. OF Missouri. made
eneech which attracted much attention.
he employed his vitriolic comment upon
the attitude OF members with his accus-
toned freedom Calling attention 70 the
fact that members on both sides. wheth-
er they opposed or advocated the measure
justified their course by an appeal 20 their
party principles. He remarked that.
viewed from these diverse standpoints. the
measure was indeed a remarkable depar-
ture in legislation. He commented upon
the statements OF General Grosvenor
few days ago that later the higher rates
OF the Dingley law would be reduced and
II the rates were too high. he saw no
reason why the reduction should not oc-
cur now. and IN this connection referred
sarcastically TO the Babcock bill TO place
steel on the free list. Its author had voted
against the bill in committee. and he In
timated broadly that the purpose Of its
introduction was to hold up the steel
trust and other kindred trusts for the
benefit OF his party IN the coming cam
paign-
Speaking OF the sugar trust. he observed
that 10 hear members talk one would
think there was nothing so friendless in
the house as this trust.
Fortunately" said he. ironically, there
viii be opportunity later on for members
20 show by their votes mat they have
not misrepresented themselves" Uaugh-
terl
1T was commended" said he. ION the
other side that the tariff which had de-
veloped the gigantic trusts should be re-
formed by its friends
Il Think he exclaimed. that the tarift
should be reformed BY the friends OF the
American people" Democratic applause.)
Mr.. jenkins opposed the bin because our
relations toward Cuba were not such as
10 permit OF the proposed reciprocity
treaty. Mr.. Gaines. Of West Virginia, also
opposed the bin. declaring that 1t was
unnecessary and unwise.

WASHINGTON. April 17.-Soon after
the senate convened today a bill granting
70 the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City
railroad the right TO use a tract Of land
held for light house purposes on Choctaw

conclusion OF routine business. addressed
the senate upon the Hepburn bill. provid-
ing for a Nicaraguan canal.
He assumed. IN beginning that the SEN

character OF the canal. that IL was a ma
ticnal necessity and that II was only a
choice OF methods and a comparison OF
national advantages which was left to

SPENCER ANXIOUS TO
SEE NEW DEPOT PLANS

President Samuel Spencer has written
Governor Gambler that he viii be glad to
see the depot plans Of Architect Bradford
L. Gilbert as soon as possible. also that
he was anxious to examine them, and
Governor Gambler has notified Mr.. GIL
bert to make an engagement with Mr..
Spencer as soon as he can, and to explain
the plans in detail.
Mr.. Gilbert left with the plans several
days ago with the intention of showing
them to Mr.. Spencer. who has always
contended that there was not sufficient
room on the present site for a union sta
ton, but owing TO the big railway deals
that have been going on for several days
Mr.. Spencer has been unable TO see them.
Il is presumed that Mr.. Spencer will
express his opinion Of the plans to Mr.
Gilbert, and II so the decision of the
Southern viii probably be made known IN
a day or two
Mr.. Spencer may. however. prefer a con-
ference with the other railroad men, and
with the depot commission before express
ing an opinion. and II so, the governor
will invite the railroad men interested
and the members of the depot commission
TO meet in Atlanta as soon as possible.

TWO OLD PISTOLS
FOUND IN A WELL

ADAIRsVILLE. Ca. April 17.-While
at work in an old well just west Of the
depot this week. Jim Burt. colored. has
made some unusual discoveries. The well
is a very old one, not having been used
since the war. Up to that time it was
the well for ]. C. Crim,s negro quarters.
1t is thought to have been dug by Col.
]. w. Gray's father, who was Adairs-
ville's first settler.
Mr.. Thomas Turner has recently built
a cottage on the lot and was having the
well re-dug.
At a depth Of about forty feet the ne
gro found a pair of English horseman's
pistols with ~. =" engraved upon them.
They were exactly alike and well pre-
served. the wood undecayed and the brass
hardly discolored; one was loaded. There
was also an old musSet barrel and piece
of old boot.
No one has any idea as to how they
happen to be there, but IL is presumed
that some person must have thrown them
in as there were no human bones with
them.
Unfortunately. the pistols were left at
Parlowski's blacksmith shop to be cleaned
and were stolen out on Tuesday night.

HARDWICK AND P0TTLE
MAKE VISIT TO GORDON

GORDON, Ga. April 1s.-Hon. T. w.
Hardwick candidate for congress-, and
Capt. Joseph Pottle. who runs without
opposition for the office of solicitor gen.
eral Of the Ocmulgee circuit, spent last
night in Gordon, and left here at
o'clock today to canvas the county and
meet the voters at their homes.
Mr.. Hardwick made fine impression
on all whom he met. He speaks very
confidently of his hopes for election. He
is a vigorous and tactful campaigner and
like Scipio of old, will carry the var into
Africa, II necessary. to win.
Captain Pottle is personally known to
every man in this county. His superb
abilities as a lawyer have commanded for
him q lucrative practice in the superior
court of Wilkinson county for many
years. and the dignity, courtesy and
amiabilitles OF the man have made for
him a legion of friends. who will heartily
do anything in their power to cause his
promotion. Personally, he bears strik-
ing resemblance to Alex H. stephens
when the latter was in the prime of his
physical powers; as an orator. and IN
his personal magnetism. he would like
wise remind one of the eloquences the
logic and the persuasive powers OF the
great commoner.

L. & n. OUR"
]. P. MORGAN
DECLARES
BIG BANKING HOUSE DECLARES
ALPHABETICALLY THAT 1T Is
ABSOLUTE MASTER OF THE
RAILROAD SITUATION.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE following
authoritative statement respecting the L.
& n. situation was made today by a mem
Der Of the firm Of ]. P. Morgan and com
pany:
1.-THE public as we'll as the speculative
community should bear in mind these
three things:
'1.-There will be no corner,
'2.-There will be no contest for con-
troll.
81. p. Morgan absolutely controls
Louisville and Nashville.
''rhe first is assured by Mr.. Gates and
the manner in which he has disposed of
his stock. Mr.. Belmonts statements are
assurances as to the second and ]. p.
Morgan and company are sponsors for
the third.
Further. Louisville and Nashville will
be operated in the future as 1t has in the
past and there will be no change.
~. p. Morgan and company, say pos
itively that the present status of the
road is the same as it has been hereto
fore except that ]. p. Morgan controls
and directs absolutely and without quail
ihcation.
Those who intimate that Mr.. Gates
might possibly make trouble In the fu-
ture or that he is in a position to do so
are much mistaken. The only one to be
reckoned with in the management OF L.
g. NJ is Mr.. Morgan. If that fact is.
borne in mind there will be no misunder-
standing, and no need Of further discus
sion The situation is controlled by him,
and that should be sufficient guarantee to
everybody"
Charles w. Gates, son of John w. Gates.
made several trips to the office of j. p.
Morgan and company. during the morn
ing and conferred with Mr.. Perkins.
Francis Lynde Stetson, Mr.. Morgan's at
IL .fh IAN
tatives of the firm, and 1t was reported
that all the essential details of the agree
ment between Messrs. Belmont and Gates
had been completed. Mr.. Belmont had
nothing to say for publication. AS fore
Swallowed yesterday the regular monthly
meeting of the Louisville and Nashville
directors, scheduled for today, was in
definitely postponed for lack OF quorum.
1.-THE statement of ]. p. Morgan q Co..
seems to be a very thorough summing up
of the situation" said August Belmont
1t covers the ground and 1 have nothing
to add to It,"
John w. Gates saw Mr.. Perkins at
noon but he had nothing to say for pub
lication except to deny rumor that
hitch had occurred in the agreement ne
gotiations.
Mr.. Gates, when shown the Morgan
statement, bearing Mr.. Morgan's endorse
ment, said:
ct fully concur with the sentiments ex-
pressed in the statement and am glad that
they meet with Mr.. Belmont's approval"
The legal representatives of the former
contending interests in the Louisville and
Nashville met in the afternoon and, ac-
cording to trustworthy reports, settled the
terms OF the agreement, 1t is not likely
that the exact details will be made public
as all concerned say the matter is of pri-
vate and confidential character.

WARD.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The price Of
butter has jumped 10 cents pound In all
parts Of the country since the senate pass
ed the bill to tax oleomargartne out OF eX-
istence. Reports Of the sudden and alarm
ing increase in the price OF the housenolo
staple have been pouring in on the mem
bers Of congress for several days. The
purpose of the reports is to influence con-
gress TO kill the bill taxing oleomarga-
rine, and it looks as IL the movement VIII
be successful.
When the senate passed the bill 1t had
to 20 back to the house for concurrence
in the amendments. 1t is to be considered
by the house as a committee of the whole
house II It can be called up, but the
other important measures on the calen-
dar, together with the advance which the
oleomargarine legislation has caused in
the price Of butter. has started the beliet
that II viii be kept back or promptly vot-
ed down If caI.ed up.
II is shown in butter statistics that the
supply is not near equal TO the demand
and the price is likely to go even higher
yet.
