AT AMERIcUs POLICE ARE RE-
CURED TO oUELL A DIS
TUR5ANcE ON THE
PUBLIC SQUARE.

AMERICUS, Ga, Aug. 19.-Serious
trouble occurred at a prohibitionist meet
ing which was held last night on the pub
lie square opposite the Windsor hotel, and
for a while a riot seemed imminent.
Bishop Turner and other negro ministers
were invited to address the negroes. In
his audience were many white men and
several ladies. After Rev. Stinson, who
followed Bishop Turner, finished some OF
the Observation-Disclosures, leading crowd
Of negroes, began Kissing and yelling IN
I'll Il became necessary to permit one or
the negroes 70 take the platform I'm order
to prevent further trouble. This for
time quieted them, but IL was when the
prohibitionists attempted to resume con-
troll Of the meeting at the conclusion Of
his speech that things grew intensely
heated.
The yelling and kissing became uncon-
troIlable. The ladies retired and some ar
rests were made, but for a while 1t seem
ed as though even the policemen were
powerless TO keep order.
Chairman Wallis, of the prohibitionist
committee, in a ringing speech denounc-
ing such conduct stated that another
meeting would be held tonight and that
the prohibitionists demanded protection at
the hands OF the mayor and city council.
The affair created a great sensation
and is deeply deplored by all, and es-
pecially the better glass OF anti-prohioi-
tionists.

GOVERNOR AND COMPTROLLER
WILL MEET MONDAY TO FIX
TAX RATE FOR THE STATE OF
GEORGIA.

Governor Gambler and Comptroller Gen.
eral Wright will meet next Monday to de-
termine upon the state tax rate for the
year. Under the law the governor and the
comptroller are required each year after
all the tax returns have been received to
make the calculations as to the amount Of
money which will be required to meet the
appropriations made by the legislature
and the other expenses Of the state and
then to fix a tax rate by which the re-
quired sum of money can be raised.
All of the tax jigests have been received
except those from DeKalb and Troup
counties. These are expected to arrive be-
fore next Monday. Only one arbitration is
on with the railroad companies, that be-
tween the state and the Southern railway.
This arbitration will probably be complet-
ed at the meeting of the arbitrators Fri
day.
Comptroller General Wright stated this
morning he thought 1t probable that the
rate could be reduced to $3.50, reduction
of IA cents on the thousand. 81 thought
some time ago that we could make big
ger reduction, and again I thought We
could not lower it at all, but since making
a partial examination of the returns, 1 am
inclined to think we can make a reduction
of IA cents on the THOUSAND"

ion as Comptroller General Wright.

NASHVILLE JAIL BIRDS
HEADING FOR ALABAMA

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 1S.-Ohicers
in Birmingham are on the lookout for Gus
HYATT. John Doe and Fred Seguin, three
OF the men who escaped from the Nash
VILE penitentiary a few weeks ago by dy-
namiting the walls down, there being a
belief that these men are making their
way towards the Birmingham district.
The report that Deputy Sheriff I. ).
White, OF Waynesboro, had pitched bat
tie with two OF these men near Flor
ence, Ala, has caused some little
talk hereabouts and leads the officers
to believe that the men may be coming
this way.
Gus Hyatt and Fred Seguin both know
this section OF the country well. Hyatt
in particular is said 20 have been here be-
fore, while Seguin, has some friends here
and It is possible that they will come this
way to go to work in the mines here
abouts expecting TO avoid any discovery.
W. A. Gibbons. a member Of the Nash
Vile police department, has been in Birm-
ingham in the last day or two and he gave
information at the police station here that
the men named are desperate men and
advised that they be handled with the
greatest care If they should be met. The
