AGAIN
DIFFERENCE OF $3,5o0,0oO
EXISTS BETWEEN SOUTHERN
RAILWAY AND THE STATE ON
TAX RETURNS.

A difference of s, 500,O0O in tax returns
is now existing between the state Of
Georgia and the Southern Railway COM
pany and arbitration will be necessary
to settle 1t.
Comptroller Wright thinks the property
of the Southern in Georgia should be
worth $35O0,00O more than It was returned
for about a month ago. The value of the
property, according to the returns made
by the officials of the Southern railway
is $11, OO0 0O0, Comptroller Wright Is of the
opinion that the property in Georgia is
worth 600 and is holding out for
that amount
H. w. Miller, assistant to First Vice
President A. b. Andrews of the Southern
was in consultation with Comptroller
Wright Tuesday and yesterday to adj
Just the differences, but they were unable
to reach an agreement and yesterday
II was decided that the only way to settle
the matter would be to leave 1t to arbitra-
tion.
Judge Spencer r. Atkinson. chairman
OF the railroad commission, was named
by Comptroller Wright to represent the
state and Howard Thompson of Gaines
willie was selected by the railroad COM
pany. The arbitrators will meet today
to agree on the returns If possible. 9th
erwise an umpire will be named.
Comptroller Wright says he is deter
mined to get the proper returns from the
railroad companies If 1t takes arbitration
every year to do so.

young Sidney Wallis, who was drowned
in Kinchafoonee creek last Thursday,

the recovery of the corpse. Edward Rich.
young white man, came into town about
noon and inquired If any reward had been
offered for the recovery Of the body for
which searching parties had been, drag

When told there was no reward stand
ing he left town, going in the direction
OF the creek. He was followed and was
seen to drag the boys body from a marsh.
where Charley West, a negro had been
standing guard.
Both Rich and West were arrested. The
report OF their conduct soon spread and IL
was feared a lynching would follow last
night
Public indignation was at high pitch.
but the expected lynching did not mate
rialize.
This was largely due 10 the fact that
Ricl's partner, the negro. was too drunk
when arrested to talk and Rich was CIV

guilt of the crime Of which he is &C
cused.
The public is still wrought UP over the
affair and groups of men are congregated
about the streets discussing the crime and
varying suggestions as TO what should be
done to Rich are heard.
II is certain that II nothing worse II
done, Rich viii be made to leave the COM
