SECUTED BY DIRECTOR.
Southern Does Not Control Central,
Saws New York Man.

New York, Aug. 4.-Reports that the
st. Louis and San Francisco road is
negotiating for control of the Georgia
Central system are secuted by a lead
ing representative of the last named
property.
This is the first 1 have heard of
any such plan,' said this director.
There is nothing to justify it, and
all talk that the Southern Railway
controls the Georgia Central is utter
nonsense. The Southern has no direct
or indirect interest in that property,
which is owned. by the bondholders,
who in turn are represented by the
voting trust"
President Yoakum of the st. Louis
and San Francisco road, declined to
affirm or deny the report or discuss it
in any way. The st. Louis and San
Francisco has, it is understood, secured
control of the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois and it is said to be branching

Iy Admitted, but 1t Is Claimed That
No Sufficient Ground for Injunction
Has Been shown.
Chicago, Aug. 4.-The government
suit against the alleged beef trust was
sent a step forward here to-day by
the filing in the United States Circuit
Court of demurrers of the defendants
both as individuals and as corporations
The demurrers set w at considerable
length that the complaint on which an
injunction is asked is insufficient. 1t
is alleged that the suit is multifari-
Gus, and if allowed to stand, would
tend to congest the business of the
court. In specific terms the demurrers
allege that $50 much of the bill OF
complaint as acknowledges a discovery
of the several interests of the defend
ants, and their business methods has
not stated such case as would en-
title the complainant to the relief
prayed for"
The effect of the filing of the demur-
rers is technically to admit all the
allegations charged in the bill or
complaint. The argument advanced IN
support of the packers position is
that admitting the truth of the charge,
no Suthcie1t ground mas peen SHOWN
for the issuance of the petitioned writ.
The instrument was signed by John
S. Miller, counsel for all the packers.
If the demurrer is sustained by the
court the original complaint may be
amended, and if overruled the defend
ants have the privilege of answering.
1t is not expected that any further
steps will be taken in the case by eth
er side. until about Oct. 1, when the
federal judges return from their va
cations

SLEDD'S BAD BREAK
EMORY COLLEGE PROFESSOR PUTS
HIS FOOT IN 1T.
HIS ARTICLE ON THE NEGRO.
SAYS BLACK MAN IS DEPRIVED OF
HIS RIGHTS.

Although He Claims to Be a Strong
SOutherner Prof. S1edd Makes
Queer Statements in an Article in
the Atlantic MOnthly-DOes Not De-
sire Social Equality, but Says Ne
gro Is Dchumanized and Treated
Lower Than Brute in SOuth--Av-
ernge White Man in South Would
Sooner Hill Negro Than n Forty
Dollar MuIe-Whites and Negroes
Should Exchange Courtesies.
Covington, Ga, Aug. 4.-Prof. An
drew Sledd of Emory College has
stirred up no little excitement and in
dignation by an article on the negro
question in the July Atlantic Monthly.
The article is based upon two hypo-
thesis:
First. That the negro is an inferior
race, and
Second That the negro has inaliena-
BILE rights.
Under the latter hypothesis Prof.
Sledd charges that the negro is de-
prived of certain of the rights that be-
long to him, and is in certain respects,
badly treated in the South. He asserts
that not more than one lynching in ten
is due to assaults on white women.
The article has called forth a strong
rebuke from Mrs. w. H. FELTON,. It
has stirred up no end of indignation
and comment here, and a number of
statements that it contains. Others go
so far as to say that so long us such
a man is retained by Emory College,
parents cannot afford to trust their
sons to that institution.
DIR. James E. Dickey, president of the
college, said he had not seen Prof.
Sledd's article and therefore refused
to discuss it.
Prof Sledd says he is true South
erner and an unreconstructed rebel,
and that he always preached in the
North the doctrine of state sovereign
ty.
When asked about the article he
said:
II wrote the article and published it.
after careful consideration. 1 regard
this negro question as one open for
discussion, as well as one with two
sides. 1 regard it as question the
support of either side of which need
not impugn ones moral integrity or
his allegiance to the South. 1 feel that
this question should be discussed much
-
When asked how he had arrived at
these opinions, he said: 81 have lived
in six Southern states, and here, as
elsewhere, 1 find illustrated the truth
of my statements. Understand me, the
main point in the original article is
that the negro belongs to an inferior
race. l in no wise desire social equal
ity. 1 do believe that
state a general fact when 1
say that the negro is dehuman-
ICED and treated lower than a brute in
the South. 1 believe that if the
white man can go to the negroes
church, the negro should go to the
white mans church. If the white man
can have one thing in any of the pub
lie utilities the negro should have the
same. If the negro tips his hat to
me or any white man. 1 or any other
person should do the same to him, and
I believe that the average white man
of the South would sooner kill negro
than a forty dollar mule

the son of the late DR.. r. N. Sled, a
noted Southern divine.

with France Not Improbable.
Rome, Aug. 4.-The Vatican regards
the present situation in France, aris-
ing from the closing of the unauthor
lied congregationist schools, as most
grave, as it is now believed to be the
intention of M. Combes, the French
premier, to denounce the concordat.
1t is reported that Cardinal Rampol-
la, papel secretary of state, is still in
favor of temporizing with France,
fearing that the hostile attitude of the
Vatican toward that country would
lead to graver complications.
Some of the cardinals advocate an
entire rupture with France, thus an
ticipating that republic and preventing
the passage there of further anti-cler-
zeal laws.

AT WORK ON a1s MESSAGE.
President Reesevelt WIN Make Ants.
Trust Question Keynote u His
Letter t. Congress.

Chicago, Oct. 23.-The Inter Oceans
Washington special says: President
Roosevelt has begun the preparation
of his second annual message to con-
gress. 1t can be said on good author
ity that he is determined to force
legislation upon the antitrust ques-
ton in the next session of congress,
his determination in that direction be-
ing carried to such an extent that all
other topics of national interest will
be subordinated to the antitrust
question.
When congress meets on December
1, an antitrust bill, prepared by At
torney General Knox, will be intro
duced before the first days adjourn
ment. The attorney general has given
close study and long research to the
preparation of this bill, and it is said
to be both comprehensive in character
and effective in reaching illegal COM
binations of capital, which work for
the restraintsof trade and the ruin of
competition.
! It is understood also that@tlie presi-
dent in his annual message will recon-
mend the appointment Of an expert
tariff commissioner to consider and
report on the question of what reduce
tions, if any, should be made in the
tariff schedules. It is not likely that
this question will be carried farther
in the next session than the appoint
ment of the proposed commission.
