LACY EXPOSED,

LACY EXPOSED.
The larger number OF arguments
the Republicans employ in behalf Of
separate statehood for Oklahoma
would apply if each county we're
made separate sta.e Their idea
seems to be that The smaller the
state the less the expense of state
government and therefore they say
the lower the taxes. They do not
take into account the fact that the
amount of taxable property that must
bear that expense cuts any figure at
all. They seem unable to compre-
hend that everything depends on the
rate per cent of tax, or rather the
leaders do comprehend It fully and
take the people to be so duh as not to
be able to see through their bald as
sertions.
It seems that MCGUIRE and his sup
porters have about rested on TWO
propositions or assertions: One,
that smeu state will have less
,axes than a large one and the 9TH
er. that a small state will have more
public institutions in a given space
of territory and therefore the chance
for each town to get one viii be bet
ter
The first proposition win be seen to
be an absudity by any taxpayer who
viii think The second proposition
reminds one Of the condition over in
the republic Of Liberia, Africa There
the citizens are said TO regard office
holding as so distinguished an honor
that the government was compelled
10 create offices enough for all the
citizens.
The same idea Of public institutions
and officeholding seems to have thor
oughly permeated Mcclure and his
federal official and subsidized press
supporters. the only difference being
that they are inclined to consider
themselves che people"
The smaller the state the more
pubic Institutions for every town and
The more offices is now thei. cry.
The people of Oklahoma will not
fail TO observe that these public in
stirutlons are supported by taxes and
that official salaries are paid by the
taxpayers, and they may be pardon
ed if they refuse to enthuse over
the idea
The ordinary taxpayer will not be
wnling to pay high taxes simply for
the purpose of creating more institu-
tions and more offices.
Merchants and farmers and me-
chanics win do well to ponder some
over these matters before casting a
vo-c for Mcclure AMI his fallacies,
oc for Republican legislators, for it
must he .emembered that the legisla-
ture viii TO a large extent, reflect the
sentiments OF the people
a vote for Hon. Bill Cross is a vote
for immediate single statehood, one
big state with vast wealth and low
taxes.

CAN'T HOLD ADAMS
GOVERNOR REFUSED TO ISSUE
WARRANT FOR HIS DETENTION.
RECORDER HAD NO RIGHT.
ADAMS WILLING To RETURN TO
CAROLINA.

VIII Be Tried in City Court To-day
for Carrying Concealed Weapons.
If He Is Able to Pay His Fine He
VIII BE Allowed to Go Free-GOv-
crnOr VIII Honor a RequisitiOn
From south Carolina Governor.
Up to Carolina Authorities Now.
Gov. Gambler has refused to issue
warrant for the detention of Adams,
the bigamist. A telegram from At
lanta last night announced that Gov.
Gambler said yesterday that he had
no authority to issue a warrant hold
ing Adams for twenty days until ac-
ton could be taken by the South Car
DINA authorities looking to his prose-
cution for bigamy.
Gov. Gambler based his refusal upon
the ground that Adams did not come
to Georgia as fugitive from justice,
and could not be considered such. He
said further that the Recorder had no
right to isue a warrant holding him.
The Governor said that he would honor
a requisition from the Governor of
South Carolina, should Adams be in
the state when it came.
Adams is to be tried in the City
Court to-day for the offense of carry
ing concealed weapons If he is able
to pay the fine imposed upon him ne
will be allowed to go free. 1t will then
be up to the Carolina authorities to
bring him to justice. Should he re-
main in the state for any length of
time, he would probably be arrested
on requistion from that state.
Adams has been anxious to
go to South Carolina. Yester-
day morning he told his attorney, MIR.
w. F. Slater. that he would go with
out requisition papers, If he were re-
leased from the charge of carrying
concealed weapons, for which he is to
be tried in the City Court to-day. The
solicitor general thought it not con-
sistent with public justice to grant
the request, however, and said that
he would hold the prisoner until that
case has been disposed of.
Adams claims that he has good de-
Tense to the charge, and his attor-
ney, while declining to state what The
defense VIII be, said that the Carolina
authorities would not find 1t any easy
matter to convict his. client. With an
open confession of, guilt against him,
the officers cannot conceive of a valid
defense. Mr.. Slater will be retained
TO defend the case should ii come up
in the Carolina courts.
II is evident that Adams thinks lie
stands a chance in South Caro-
lima, or he would not have ex-
pressed a willingness to go. The COM
munity in which he has lived is said
to be very hostile to him, and with a
vigorous prosecution awaiting him.
the efforts of his second wife to clear
him in the matter will be vigorously
opposed.

C. R. R. BONDS GOING NORTH.
Brokers Say That They Have Been
Bought Up and Sent Away.

A railway authority, discussing the
possibility of the acquisition by the
St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad
of the Central of Georgia, said yester-
day that it is his belief that the Fris-
co system would first begin to buy
up all the bonds of the Central that
it could. He thinks that is the course
the Frisco will take if it really gets
the Central.
Brokers told me some time ago that
bonds were being bought up and sent
to the North. They have just about
exhausted the holdings in Savannah
and the South, they tell me now"
j. Randolph Anderson, Esq, ex-
pressed surprise that apprehension
should be felt by Savannah people at
the proposed or rumored consolidation
of the Central with the St. Louis and
San Francisco.
should it come to pass" said Mr..
Anderson, "it would be the greatest
thing that could possibly happen for
Savannah.
ut would make this port the outlet
for one of the richest sections of the
country, which the lines of the Frisco
System traverse. The grain of the
Middle West, the coal and iron OF
Northern Alabama, all the varied prod
ucts of that rich section would begin
their journey to Europe from this port
Such a consolidation would increase
Savannahs business almost immeas-
urably.''
There is talk that the Seaboard Air
Line may build from Atlanta to Ma
con, in the event that the Frisco sys-
tenn gets the Central. This would give
the Seaboard. in connection with the
Macon, Dublin and Savannah, a line
shorter than that of the Central be-
tween Atlanta and Savannah, by 80
miles.

port of the Chatham Delegation. in
the Convention.
The senatorial convention of the
First Senatorial district of Georgia will
be held in Savannah Saturday, Aug
%. The convention will meet at the
Court House at noon.
Mr.. James NJ. Dixon, chairman of
the district. said yesterday that the
meeting will be held at the time and
place indicated, and this morning he
publishes the official call in the Morn
ing News.
The meeting will be held for the pur-
pose of nominating a candidate for
senator from the district. This nomi-
nation will fall upon Mr.. ]. c. Moore
of Groveland, the nominee of Bryan
county. Mr.. Moore is thoroughly en-
rapport with the Citizens Club, and
any possible measures that Chatham
county representatives may introduce
in the House will receive the support
of Mr.. Moore in the Senate.
There will be ten delegates in the
convention. OF these six will be from
Chatham county and two each from
Effingham and Bryan. A two-tlards
vote is necessary to- nominate. In
other words, seven votes will be need
ed to nominate Mr.. Moore. All of the
delegates may not be here, but, if not
in person. they will be represented by
others holding their proxies.
1t is Bryan county's time for the
senatorship under the rotation system
that has prevailed for some years.
Some time ago there was talk of a pos
sibility of abandoning this system, but
this was based upon the thought that
Mr.. Moore might not be in accord with
the representatives from Chatham up
on local questions. The knowledge that
such a fear is unreasonable leaves no
doubt that the Chatham delegation will
solidly support Mr.. Moore for the nom
ination, which is equivalent to an cleo
ton. He, therefore, will be the next
senator from this district.

DISCHARGE OF MACHINIsTs.
Some of the CentrnPs May Expect
Notice Within Ten Days.

Notice Within Ten Days.
1t is probable that the Central Rail-
road machinists. who are to be dis
charged from the. shops at Savannah,
will be dismissed within ten days.
President John NJ. Egan of the COM
pany, said yesterday that it has not
been decided which of the men will
be discharged, that being a matter for
the master mechanic and the general
superintendent to settle.
The discharges will be from the ma
chine shops, and not from the car
shops. The Central is actively engaged
in the manufacture of new freight cars
now, and needs its men in that depart
ment, but the 3ron work of the COM
pany has fallen off, and there is not
such a need for machinists as there
was.
Repairs have been going on active
ly," said Mr.. Egan, land the equip
ment of the company is now in excel
lent condition. Putting it in this shape
meant that many men be employed.
Now that the repairs have been made
and the need for so many machinists
has passed. it becomes necessary to
discharge some of them They will be
taken out as may be seen fit. two or
three here and two or three there

DON'T WANT A NEW TRIAL.
Jim Young Told His Attorney He
Has Had Trials Enough.

An attorney representing Jim Young,
who has been sentenced to serve a six
year term in the penitentiary, tele-
phoned the Jail yesterday and asked
that Chief Sweeney be requested not to
take Young to the penitentiary. ex-
planning that he intended asking a
new trial in his case. When Young
heard of this he told the deputy that
he wanted to be taken anyway, as he
had had trial enough and did not want
any new trial.
Deputy Sheriff Sweeney did not leave
for Fargo with his five felons. The
train on which he intended to go was
three hours late and had he gone he
would not have made connection. He
will leave to-day, however. Richard
Young, whom the authorities thought,
at first they would hold as witness
against other connected with the Foun-
tain murder, will go also. The author

GAMBLING ON A TOMBSTONE.
Five Boys Were Arrested in Colo
NAL Park Last Night.


On marble slab that marks the
spot where repose the bones of one
who hundred years ago, and more.
passed beyond the Stygian shades, five
white boys were caught gambling in
Colonial Park last night. Two of them,
H. Remington and w. Wohanka, aged
II and 16 years, were caught by Po-
liceman Miller, and will appear before
the recorder this morning.
The young men had seated them
selves on the grave stone, underneath
an electric light, and were engaged in
a game of cards. The officer hid be-
hind one of the vaults nearby and
watched the progress of the game for
fully ten minutes. When he had be-
come convinced that the boys were en-
gagged in other than a just fun
game, he rushed out and caught two
of them before they could get away
The others disappeared in the dark
ness.
The game was being played with
cards, and the officer succeeded in get
ting a part of the pack to use as evil
dence. He collared his two young pris-
oners and led them to the barracks,
which was only a few yards away.
The game had been played in the very
shades of the city prisons.
Tie two young men arrested declined
last night to give the names of those
engaged in the game with them. They
stoutly denied that they had been en-
gagged in a gambling game, but aver
red that they were all having a social
game of euchre. The officer however,
was as equally positive that the young
men We're gambling. He ,locketed
cases against them and told them that
they could tell their euchre story to
the recorder. Both of the young men
gave bond shortly after their arrest

General Manager kenIy of the A. G.

L.. SO Assures savannah.
Owing to the uneasiness among the
business men OF Savannah, due to ru-
mors that the Atlantic Coast Line
proposed to remove its shops from here,
Col J. II. Estill went to Wilmington
Wednesday for the purpose Of finding
out what founda tion there is for the
rumors. and also to see if a part of the
force of the general offices, which has
been taken away. could not be return
ed. He wanted to have a full and free
talk with those authorized to speak,
knowing how deeply interested in the
matter the people Of Savannah are.
The following dispatch from Col. Es-
till was received last night:
Wilmington. n. c., Aug. while
those of other corporations, are not
addicted to talking about the cJm-
pany's business in public. General
Manager .Kenly spoke freely and fully
on matters which have been under dis
cussion as to runors that further de-
pletions in the organization of the late
Plant System in Savannah were in
contemplation. Mr.. Kenly said that
there is no intention of removing the
shops. In fact, they are more neces-
sary than ever for the reason that
after Sept. Is Savannah will be the
northern terminus of the second dvis-
ion and the southern terminus of the
first division of the Coast Line, and,
furthermore, the trains which now run
from Florence to Charleston will run
to Savannah. Speaking of recent re-
movals, the general manager said that
they were only such as any business
man or firm would have made and
were necessary to facilitate business.
