MINE CONTROVERSY HAS \ TEST TODAY Question on All Sides is What
 Will They Do7 TWO MEETINGS TO BE HELD In the Meantime Thirteen Thousand Men and Vast Manufacturing h. terests Are Lying Idle--some
 Expect Surprise.
TWO MEETINGS TO BE HELD
What will theY do?

What will they do?
 The miners will meet in convention this morning at Il o'clock. The operators will meet at o'clock in the afternoon. Thir- teen thousand men. and vast manufaetur- ing interests, are lying idle.
 The results of the meetings to be held today will, it is thought, decide in great measure whether or not they remain idle or resume work. So the question that is almost invariably asked now when two or more men meet is What will the miners and operators do?''
 When this question was put to the off- cials of the mine workers at their head quarters in the Chalifoux building yes- terday, they said they could not tell. Not that they would not. or that it would be contrary to good business reason, but lit- orally that they could not-that they did not know.
 The operators seemed to have but one answer We do not know we have noth- ing to go blythe whole matter, for the present at least. rests with the men"
 An Operator Talks.
 One operator expressed his view of the situation as follows: "The operators have made a proposition. The miners have neither accepted nor rejected it. The joint convention adjourned, subject to the call of Chairman Flynn and can only be re- convened by his action. Until the miners act or refuse to act l don't see what can be done by the operators. Of course fail- ure to act soon would be taken by the operators to mean that the miners reject the operators offer.'
 
 Many Delegates Arrive.
 Whether the miners will hold an open convention or meet in executive session has not yet been decided and will not be until the convention comes together. It Is predicted, however by those in a po- slticn to judge that the greater part of the session, or at least the important part, will be held behind closed doors
 A number of the delegates reached the city last night, but most of them will come on the morning trains today. From those who came yesterday 1t was learned that everything in the various camps was quiet. The best of order prevails, and while the men are keenly alive to the gravity of the situation and are in a state of great expectancy. they are quiet ly awaiting developments
 One man. who claimed to be a miner but would not say whether or not he was a delegate, said that there was a chance for large-sized surprise. When asked the nature of the surprise he said:
 Well, wouldn't it surprise you if the miners accepted the two and a half cents advance and served notice on the ope- rators that the eght-hour day and semi monthly pay day must be settled by granting them or by arbitration during the contract year, else there would be d strike on July next7. That very thing Is liable to happen"

vent of the holiday season and the
more normal tone of public sentiment
Jobbing trade in seasonable goods has
also expanded as a result of recorders
to fill depleted stocks. Back of these,
but with an apparently close connec-
ton in its effect upon sentiment is the
strong position of the agricultural sta
pies.
Colder weather has also stimulated
the coal trade east and west. More
confidence is also shown in the mar
ket for cruder forms of iron, and prices
are steadier. Railway operations are
still active, with an increase of about
per cent, shown in gross receipts
over November, a year ago.
Evidence accumulates that Southern
iron has, for the time at least, struck
bottom, and this week a slight rebound
in asking prices is noted.

zens of Thomasville assembled in mass
meeting at the Court House last night.

date for the white primary. The City

Messrs. J. s. Montgomery, w. E.
Pringle, ]. L. Beverly, A. H. S. Cooke
and A. M. Watson was reelected for
another term of one year. The prin-
cipal interest of the evening settled in
two resolutions offered by Senator H.
w. Hopkins. Senator Hopkins, at the
last session of the Legislature. intro
duced a measure providing for the
election of the city clerk by the people,
all the other officers formerly appoint
i've having been made elective. An
other measure provided for a written
examination of all teachers employed in
Thomasville' public schools. Repre-
sentative Mitchell of this county
caused the defeat of these bills in the
House. Senator Hopkins at last nights
meeting, wished the two questions sub
mitted to the primary for an express
sion of opinion. Representative Mitch
ell did not want the matter to go before
the people, and made a speech against
it. Messrs. A. p. Taylor, G. T. Han
sell and w. C. Snodgrass sided with
Mr.. Mitchell in eloquent talks, but the
final vote was to 1 in favor of the
primary action. and the people of
brownsville will express their wishes
on these subjects on the 29th.
DIR. ]. T. Culpepper, who has held
the office of Mayor for three terms,
has announced that he will not stand

would have had no opposition. and his
act is almost unparalleled in Georgia
politics.

Mayor is Hon. S. A. Roddenbery, for
mer representative and former judge of
the County Court. His friends say he
will have no opposition.
