Says He Is Not Pursuing Terrell Nor
Trying to Force "A Joint Debate.
Atlanta, Ga, March 4.-Hon. Dupont
Query passed through Atlanta this
morning on his way to Lawrenceville,
where he spoke to a good audience
this afternoon. MIR. Query, in talk
ing TO a representative OF the Morn
ing News, took an enthusiastic view
of the outlook. He is pleased with the
reception according him at the places
he has visited recently, and he believes
that wherever he has spoken the peo-
pie are with him. Mr.. Query denies
that he is following Mr.. Terrell. On
this subject he took occasion TO say:
You see l am not pursuing Mr.. Ter
rell as some of the papers have stated.
l am only where it suits me and my
friends following him with a speech
occasionally. L may or may not do
that oftener hereafter during the cam
paign.
Il am not trying to force Mr.. Terrell
into Joint discussion. AS he has de-
clined my invitation such course on
my part would be discorteous.
"Of course, however. i have a per-
feet right to speak anywhere he does
and on the same day, just so l do not
mix my occasion with his.
IAN suggestions that ! am sore or
angry over Mr.. Terrell's little person
atty about my alleged discharge as
an attorney for the Georgia Southern
and Florida must be amusing to those
who hear what l say in reply and the
good humored way in which / say it,
People who are trying to make the
world better should not become an
glsy h"

THE NEWS OF vALDOsTA.
Drunken Negro Arrested for Terror
izinE n White Congregation.

izinG White Congregation.
n Valdosta, Ga, March 4.-The
Christian Church tabernacle is
the scene of an interesting series of
religious meetings every afternoon and
night, the services being conducted by
Elder Maxwell, who is the state evan
gelist of that church. The meetings
have been running for nearly two
weeks and much interest is being man
ifested.
A negro drayman named Willie
Mitchell was lodged in jail yesterday
under a charge of disturbing divine
services at Benevolence Church He
went there Saturday while in a drunk
en- condition and drove his horse
through the church yard, firing his
pistol and creating terror among the
white people who had gathered there
to worship. A warrant was sworn out
for him and he was arrested yester-
day. 1t is a little remarkable that he
was not fiogged into soberness at the
time.
The home of Mr.. r. A. Whitehurst,
on Jackson street was the scene of
a quiet marriage Sunday evening, the
contracting parties being Mr., j. T..
Spivey and Miss Ada Lineberger. The
marriage was a surprise to the rela-
tives of the couple, as no one knew of
it until after the ceremony had been
performed. The couple met by APP
pointment and sent after the minis
ter, who tied the nuptial knot in short
order.

remarks in which he turned the Lib
rary over TO the president of the Board,
Mr.. H. II. Cabaniss. who in turn pre-
scented the building to the city through
Mayor Minis. On behalf of the city
Mayor Minis received the building. He
spoke briefly but appropriated and said
in 2art:
mo greater pleasure could
come to me than
that Of accepting this magnificent
building to be used as a free library
by the people of Atlanta. / am proud
of the fact that the building will be
finished during my administration
and it gives me pleasure to accept
and while l recognize that the gift
that portion of 1t which is finished,
was obtained during the administra-
tion of my predecessor, I shall look
back upon that part of my messages
which relates to the library with
greatest pleasure.
Mayor Mimms paid a pretty tribute
to Miss Anne Wallace, the librarian,
and to her assistants. He said he
doubted if there were a more classic
and beautiful building In the coun-
try than the Carnegie library.

MIR. STEVENS IMPROVING.
Was Injuerd In the Wreck Mt
COUGHS Mill Creek.

Griffin, Ga, March 4-Hon. o. B.
Stevens. who was injured in the wreck
on the Southern at COUGHS mill creek
last Thursday, is improving slowly
and will soon be out again. His in
juries were more severe than was at
first supposed, but the attending ply
stefan apprehends no serious trouble.
The work of clearing away the wreck
is progressing very slowly and the in
dications are that it will be several
days before trains are running over
the Atlanta and Florida division of the
Southern. The body of Engineer Mat
thews has not been recovered and it
is not believed that it will be until
the engine is raised, as it is thought
he lies beneath the heavy machine.

Georgia Merchants.
Atlanta, March 4.-The internal rev.
enue collector for Georgia has been
notified by the Washington authorities
that warrants are being drawn up for
the payment of all rebate claims
which arose when the recent schedule
on tobacco products went into effect
in July. 1901. 1t is estimated that $780,,
0G0 is due the tobacco merchants of
Georgia as a result of these claims.
All dealers, manufacturers and
others whose claims were properly
prepared and filed with the internal
revenue officers within the required
time following July 1, 1901, will evil
IDENTIFY soon receive their settlement
warrants, although the internal reve-
nue. department of this state is not
now prepared to say just when pay
ment will commence.
The tax on tobbaco under the war
revenue act was s12 per 100 pounds,
or Il cents a pound. Twenty per cent
of this tax was removed by the last
act making the tax now $3.50 per 100
pounds, or SO cents per pound.

COINAGE BILL PASSED
House Votes For Recoinage Of
Silver Dollars Into Sub
Sidiary Coin.
VI AsHNGToN, May 29.-TBe house

VIZ ASHINGTON, May 29.7-The house
w today passed the bill TO increase
the subsidiary silver coinage.
The Democrats directed their fight
chiefly against the provision to re-
coin the standard silver dollars into
subsidiary coin as public necessities
might require. A half-dOzeu FoueaIIs
were forced. Some of the New York
Democrats voted for the previous ques-
ton, but voted with their colleagues on
motion 10 recommit with Instructions
to strike the provision out and leave
the recoinage of silver dollars The
conference reports on the omnibus pub
lie building and fOrtifications appro-
priatiOn bills were adopted and the
house adjourned until Monday.
The text of the subsidiary coinage
bill is as follows:
THAT the secretary of the treasury
is hereby authorized to coin the sill
yer bullion in the treasury, purchased
under the act Of July /. 1890 into such
denominations Of subsidiary silver coin
as he may deem necessary to meet pub
lie requirements, and thereafter. as
public necessities may demand, to re-
coin silver dollars into subsidiary coin:
and so much Of any act as fixes a limit
to the aggregate of subsidiary silver
coin outstanding and so much of any
act as directs the coinage of any por-
ton of the bullion purchased under the
act of July IA, 1890, into standard silver
dollars is hereby repealed"
Some minor business was transacted
by unanimous consent before the house
resumed consideration of the bill to in
crease the subsidiary coinage, the pend
ing question being on the Newlands
amendment to the Grow amendment
by which it was proposed to make sill
yer coins, coined under the provisions
of the act, legal tender for all debts.
