SHOWS BIG GAINS.
Creditors of old Augusta Chronicle
to Get So Cents on Dollar.

Creditors of old Augusta Chronicle
to Get So Cents on Dollar.
Augusta, Aug. 7.-Richmond coun-
tvs tax digest, which goes forward to
the Controller tonight, shows taxable
property amounting to 500, ,O20, an in
crease of sl91.7So over last year on the
face of the returns. 1t is explained.
however, that the return of the gas
and electric lighting plant, the terminal
property Of the Union Station Company
directly to the Controller this year,
instead of going on the county digest
as last year, reduces what otherwise
would show over $4,000 increase over
last year.
The affairs of the old Augusta Chron-
icIe Company are being wound up to-
day, and f. B. Hook, receiver, is dis
tributing the purchase money among
the creditors under a consent order of
the court agreed to by the parties in
litigation. After paying the expenses
OF the receivership and lawyers fees,
and 10 cents on the dollar to the pre-
ferred stockholders, the creditors of
the old company before the receivership
will get in round figures So cents on
the dollar.
The syndicate, who with E. b. Hook,
purchased the Walsh stock for 10 cents
on the dollar, get back So per cent. OF
the money they put in, less $500 paid
for $50 shares of common stock which
is valueless. 80 that they get back
about 81 cents on the dollar Of the
money they subscribed. This winds up
the old Augusta Chronicle Company,
and it becomes the Augusta Chronicle
Publishing Company under the new
owners.

BOILER EXPLOSION
KILLED NEGRO FIREMAN.
Several Men Hurt in Accident at
Lumber MIL.


Valdosta, Ga, Aug. News has
reached the Minnesota Lumber Com
pany OF the explosion of one of the
large boilers at their mills at Cut
ting, thirty miles east of Valdosta.
The explosion occurred at a little be-
fore o'clock this morning and just
a few minutes before a large force
of men were to begin their days work.
A deaf and dumb negro fireman was
killed instantly by the explosion and
a white man who had charge of the
log chains had his arm broken in
two places. Several others were in
jured, but not seriously.
A. f. Clements, one of the managers
of the company, went to the scene
and returned this afternoon. He re
ports that the boiler, which weighed
several tons, was hurled through one
end of the mill and on a bee line for
several hundred yards, crashing into
a feed house and wrecking 1t. Anoth-
er boiler near the one which exploded.
was turned over and the mill shed
was badly damaged.
Though the machinery was injured
to great extent, the cause of the
explosion Is not known Had ii oc-
CURED ten minutes later there would
have been a frightful casualty list, as
the mill would have been crowded
with workmen. Messrs. Clements and
Trump, the local managers Of the COM
pany's business, say that the repairs
will be made at once and the mill will
be running again in a few days. The
property loss could not be estimated
81 AL. al-
though it is not believed to be very
heavy

WHO OWNS THE PTANOg
Warm Contest Between Societies in
Columbia.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 7.-Cttarges of
fraud in a popular voting contest is
the latest sensation in Columbia. The
contest which a few months ago look
ed like an innocent one, has now taken
on more serious proportions and will
finally be decided by the courts.
The prize was a piano offered by
plano manufacturing company for the
most popular lodge or society in Co
lumbia. At first there was little in
terest taken ip the voting. but later
the contest grew more interesting. and
finally narrowed down to two societies
the Knights of Columbus and the
Clerks Union. Each was determined
to win, and the voting continued I'M
til the opposing sides had many thou
sands of votes to their credit. When
the end came the returns showed that
the Knights of Columbus had a ma
jority Of something over $4,000. This
large majority was surprise to the
Clerks Union, and they at once start
ed an investigation, claiming that 190,-
900 votes more than the original num-
Der authorized had been cast. The
Knights denied all charges of fraud,
and claimed the plano on the face of
the returns.
Tuesday the Clerks Union Instituted
claim and delivery proceedings, and
Sheriff Coleman took charge of the
piano, which now rests In his office.
and will remain there until the court
decides which of the two organizations
is entitled to its possession.
The case Is an unusual one, and the
proceedings will no doubt be most in
teresting.

TRADE CONDITIONS GOOD.
Railroad Equipment Inadequate to
Demand, say Dun & Co.


New York. Aug. 7.-R. G. Dunn g.
Co.'S weekly review of trade to-mor-
row VIII say:
Trade advices from nearly every sec
ton continue to show as favorable
conditions as year ago, and in many
lines the volume of transactions has
Increased. Jobbers report fall bust
ness opening with excellent prospects,
and manufa plants are well oc-
cupied, with the exception of cotton
mills.
Distribution of merchandise Us $50
heavy that railway equipment already
proves inadequate, although crops are
not the factor that they will be in a
few weeks. Earnings for July ex-
ceeded last years by 1871 per cent. and
those of 1901 by 2O.2 per cent. On the
whole, news from the farms is less
favorable, but no serious curtailment
is assumed, and many sections make
very bright reports. A decline of LOS
per cent. in the cost of commodities
during July is evidence that prices are
less inflated since the change was
mainly in meats and other foods which
have been ruling at an abnormal posi-
ton.
No change is noticed in the atti-
tude of cotton goods buyers VINO APP
pear determined to postpone business
until the readjustment of prices for
raw material. Owing to the gradual
reduction in mill stocks there is a
similar disposition to delay undertake
ing new contracts and the result is
a further addition to idle machinery.
In view of the comparative Steadlness
of retail prices and the activity In dry
goods trading at many points, 1T ts
evident that stocks in other than first
hands were larger than was believed
when the speculative advance began.
Although jobbers report bright pros
poets for fall trade, it is remarkable
that they make so little effort to Sc
cure forward deliveries.
There were 17S commercial failures
this week in the United States against
1856 the corresponding week last year.
