A GREAT CONVENTION.

The Georgia State Sunday-school
Convention will be held in the city of
Augusta, April 1-3. This will be a
great convention, not only because it
represents a great cause, but for the
reason that several of the best known
Sunday-school workers will be pres
ent. Mr.. Marion Lawrence, general sec
retary of the International Sunday
school Convention; Mr.. Chas. D. Meigs,
who is known as the Sunday school
Awakener;" Prof. f. o. Excel, the
great leader of song and several other
noted Sunday-school experts will be
in attendance. There will probably be
reduced rates on all the railroads of
the state, and the good people of Au-
gusta will entertain all who come as
delegates.

tonnage from the South to West Indies
is in better demand and rates are
stronger under the influence. Coast

absence of important inquiry creates

For Carrying a Billy $50 and
1870 Days,
The JUDGES FIRM POSITION
Every Man VIII Be Severely Punished
Who Is Found With Concealed
Weapons-The Mayors Pre-
negatives In Penalties.

According to the edict issued by Judge
Feagin Tuesday against carrying con-
cealed weapons his honor yesterday fined
VIII Sharpton, white man. 500. sentenced
him to $50 days for carrying a billy.
The billy was a leather pouch about
two inches long and an inch bide. This
was filled with bird shot and with a good
man back of 1t would knock a person
down easily. The pouch was fastened to
a pliable leather handle, which was to
be bound to the wrist by a leather band
Judge Feagin had Chief Austin to cut
the bag open in the court room and as
the result the floor was well sprinkled
with bird shot. The billy weighed about
a pound and was a very dangerous weap-
on. The man was the first tried under the
new order of the Judge. He was arrested
by Policeman Penn
The question of what the mayor could
do with fine imposed in the police court
came up yesterday for discussion and re-
ference to the city code showed that the
executive could do anything he wished
with fine except raise the amount He
can remit 1t, make a man work out the
penalty imposed In days, or he can order
the city warden to allow the prisoner to
pay so cents in money for every day of
the penalty imposed.
City Attorney Smith. Judge Feagin and
others looked up the law on the subject
and It was found that the mayor could
allow a man to pay himself out of Jail,
even should the Judge give him number
of days work on the streets.
The investigation of this matter was
In connection with the case referred to
above. Should the man sentenced pay
$50 he could be released without serving
a term at work, each days work being
accounted worth 80 cents. Should he
decide to work out all of his sentence 1t
will take him year-1SO days in lieu
of his fine and $50 days of work as the. ad-
ditional penalty.

CANDIDATES SHAKE MANY
THOUSAND ACHING HANDS

Vigorous and vice-like handshaking on
the crowded thoroughfares yesterday has
scored another point for the advocates
of fall and winter elections. The Gus
tom Of grasping the hand of an acquain-
lance at every meeting has long been
assailed by the individual whose liver is
not right and especially when that seal
brown taste has given him an excellent
opportunity to rant.
His argument is something like this:
IF a candidate has ordinary intellect,
and is good fellow and 1 like no other
applicant better I am going to vote for
him, and I cannot see the necessity Of
eternally crushing my fingers every
time meet him on the streets. In tho
winter time when men feel good and
are free from perspiration 1t IS roIerap1e,
the middle of the night In these cam
paign days / wake up to find that 1 had
been dreaming OF outstretched hands and
steeltrap clamps on my finger Knowing
these dreams and facts to be true
don't understand how any sensible per-
son can be opposed to holding our cleo
tons, and especially the campaigns, in
cold weather.
Another reason for my position Is that
street conversations are not so frequent
In cold weather and If man wanted to
impress upon voter the danger to the
country If he were defeated he would be
compelled to move to a neighboring sa-
loon for the convenience of his lonesome
audience and where stimiants would be
handy. AS 1t is the officeseekers are
monopolizing the streets of Birmingham
and If the law enforcing the pIockadlng

At regular meeting at Fox's hall last
night, the following action was taken:
We, the Amalgamated Association of

of streets was enforced Judge Feagin
would be compelled to levy an assess
ment on the campaign fund.
."At one time yesterday" continued the
gentleman who needed a cocktail and a
dash of absynthe, 81 saw four different
candidates lined up on one Of the prin-
eipal streets and by the outstretched
hand process each had gathered eight or
ten thirsty voters about him. Ordinary
citizens were compelled to crowd up next
to the buildings to pass and the police
man on the corner said not word. He
did not wilfully neglect his duty about
clearing the streets but merely followed
the ancient custom of turning the town
over to the candidates. He did not have
to be told that an election was near.
while bordering over these sufferings
last night I took occasion to do some
calculating and 1 find that something like
100000 hands were shaken in Birmingham
yesterday. OF course, you understand,
these were not all different hands for
some of them got as many as ten good
shakings. Tonight I am preparing a lit
tie sign which I shall place on the lapel
of my coat tomorrow"
Walking over to a table the pessimist
picked up a small card with a pin at
tached and handed it TO his visitor. The
following words in plain letters appeared
on the face of the card: You have
shaken my hand once today" faint
smile fitted across the sour mans face
for moment and with a tinge of mis-
chief in his eye he said I'm case this
does not work will turn the card over"
On the other side appeared, IT have

CHARGE OF MANY MURDERS
DENIED BY MITCHELL

The President asked Mr.. Mitchell if
ne had anything further to say. Mr..
Mitchell said: THE charge made by the
gentlemen thas twenty murders have
been committed in the anthracite coal
regions during the present coal strike is
untrue. If they will name the miners
and will show that they have committed
the murders, | Will resign my position.
That is a fair proposition, Mr.. Presi-
dent; that is a fair example OF how our
organization and our people are ma
ligned. The truth of the MAJ tier, as far
as I know, is that there have been seven
deaths. No one regrets them more than
: do. Three OF them were committed by
the coal and iron police, and no one has
been charged with them. God knows the
miners do not escape being charged with
everything happening there They speak
Of turnings. There was a reward offered
for burnings.. I can bring afiidavits of
a hundred people. il necessary, that the
lightning caused one burning that they
charged to the United Mine Workers.
4.'NIr, President. have admitted on more
than one occasion that there has been
some awlessness, but I will say that a
large portion Of such lawlessness has
been provoked by criminals who have
.l,een brought into the anthracite region
to recruit the coal and iron police. I want
to say, Mr.. President that I feel very
