they got approximately 100000 bushels.

ARE WORKING FOR
THE NEW SCHOOL

Work in the interest of the proposed
Presbyterian university in Atlanta is go
ing forward quietly but with gratifying
results.
c. D. Montgomery, who is a member
of the committee which is at work for
the college that is to come by the CONSOLE
dalton of the Theological seminary at Co
lumbia, s. c., and the Southwestern Pres
byterian university at Gainesville, Tenn,
said yesterday that including the land
more than $4,000 had already been prom
Used. Offers Of land ranging from 80 to 100
acres have been made by local land COM
panies. The sum needed for the univer-
sity will be S25O,O0O, which it is thought
can be raised without any trouble. No
public appeal for subscriptions will be
made before fall.
Mr.. Montgomery said 1t was the inten-
ton of the committee to call a meeting
of those interested in the university about
September 1st. They will at that time

JUDGES FIGHT IN
CHATTANOOGA IS
WARMING. UP
CHARGE MADE THAT IF PRESENT
METHODS OBTAIN THAT BOND
ISSUE OF 100000 YEARLY
WILL BE NECESSARY.

CHATTANOOGA, July S.-There was a
very warm time in county court yester-
day when Esquire Bates. a Democratic
member OF the court. asked some very
meaning questions of Judge Seth NJ. Wal
ker, Republican, who is a candidate be-
fore the people for county Judge in the
elections which come of in August.
There have been many criticisms as to
the amount in which the county In run
ming in debt I'm every year, and it has
been published frequently with figures to
substantiate the claim. I'm The Chatta-
nooga Times, that at the present rate OF
income and expenditure II will be neces-
sary to have a bond issue OF 100000 every
two years. The deficit at the end of the
present fiscal year. which is September
/. will be about $4,000 as shown by the
records, though the county issued bonds
10 the extent OF 100000 in January to pay
of the floating debt OF the county.
Esquire Bates questions were not fully
answered. and though Judge Walker read
what he called report. it did not satisfy
the people. The county court OF this
county is a peculiar combination of DEM
ocrats and Republicans. and yesterday the
chief supporter OF Judge Walker was Es-
quire Hogan. who was a candidate in the
Democratic primaries for the nomination
as county Judge. II Is openly stated that
since Hon. ]. B. Ragon has been the sue
quire Hogan IS fighting him and support
ing his Republican opponent. This in it
self has caused much comment.
The county fixed the tax levy for the
next two years at $1.25 for the city. and
S.55 for the county, though this is the
present levy. and though it is claimed
that the affairs OF the county are being
administered economically, the figures
show that the amount OF floating debt or
the overdraft Of the county funds is each
year at least $4,000. The assessments this
year Is just about the same as IL was two
years ago. taking into consideration the
growth in the wealth OF the county and
not one member Of the court would state
that this levy would be sufficient to keep
the county out OF debt. at the rate the
money is being spent. However, the Re-
publicans have the county judges office,
the only one in their power now. and with
the aid OF a few disgruntled Democrats
they have succeeded in managing the
court, and have endeavored to choke off
every criticism of Judge Walkers admin
istration. There IS no charge Of any dis
honesty or anything of the sort made
against Judge Walker, but II Is charged
that the affairs of the county are not
going as they should.

BLOODY FIGHT AT
BAPTISM IN AUGUSTA

AUGUSTA. Ca, July IA baptism at
Getzen's pond in North Augusta yesterday
was interrupted by a murderous assault
made upon one Of the candidates for bap-
tism.
For some time this pond has been used
as a baptizing pool by the Adventists of
Augusta. and yesterday a large number
OF that faith went there to witness the
rite.
One OF the candidates was William Nc
Gahee. a young man Of excellent charac-
ter. He had incurred the displeasure Of
certain men in the city, who went to
the bapiIzing for the avowed purpose Of
killing him.
AS soon as the baptizing party arrived
an attack was made upon IL. The greater
number had gone to the other side of the
pond, and William was not in the party
attacked.
One OF the attacking party, said to have
been man from Augusta, sprang upon
Cumming McGahee with a knife. aiming
blow at his breast, which was parried
by the latter with his hand, cutting
through the palm. Others mixed in the
fight and the invaders were driven OFF.
The wounded man was brought to the
city for surgical treatment and his broth
er was baptized In due form.
