M'CAW COMPANY
INSTITUTES A SUIT
SAYS THE FIRST NATIONAL
CANNOT CONSIDER COMPANY'S
NOTES AMONG ITS ASSETS.

In the Aggregate $1S2,OOO Is In
yoIvcd-JudEe Speer Grants an
order Directing the Receiver OF
the First National to show Cause
WHY the Notes should Not Revert
TO the Plant Private Bank, to
which They Were Originally
Given.
Macon, May 23.-The McCaw Manu-
featuring Company has filed in the
United States Court a bill asking for
the return of certain notes and checks
in the hands of Bank Examiner Albert
son in charge of the First National
Bank, the papers being fully described.
The attorneys declarations are long
and exhaustive and assert that the
notes and checks represent a sum of
S1s2, 900. They show that the Plant
Bank received from the McCaw Manu-
featuring Company at various times
fourteen notes, each calling for $4,000,
which, with other obligations, make the
sum involved some $751;, 900. The Plant
private bank transferred to the First
National Bank, so the petition recites,
the notes in payment of a debt the pri-
vate bank is said to have owed the
National Bank. This transfer was
made, say the papers, after the private
bank knew it was insolvent and that
the transfer within itself made the
National Bank a preferred creditor and
was therefore illegal.
he han cir
their doors, so the petition recites, the
McCaw company, upon request of the
private bank. gave checks aggregating
$4,000. the same being written paya-
BILE to the First National Bank. These
checks, it is asserted, were upon the
American Exchange Bank of New
York, by which financial concern they
were protested and returned to the
Macon First National Bank and are
now in the custody of Bank Examiner
Albertson.
The compliments then set up the
declarat ton that the McCaw company
had in the Plant private bank a de-
post of 1894 900. Then it is asserted
that these notes should be returned by
Examiner Albertson to the Plant pri-
waite bank as an asset of that house,
and that they should be used as an Off
set of the Indebtedness of the Plant
private bank to the McCaw company.
In the petition the attorneys state
that Bank Examiner Albertson and all
others in any authority whatever be
restrained from using the commercial
papers described in any manner
whatever other than that indicated.
Any action by the bank examiner
against the McCaw company would,
the paper recites injure the credit of
that concern.
Judge Speer granted a temporary in
junction against Bank Examiner AL
bertson's efforts to collect the papers
described and named June for Bank
Examiner Albertson's appearance be-
fore him to show cause why the petit
ton indicated should not be granted,
and why the notes with the protested
checks should not be returned as
prayed.

DEMOCRATS OF OHIO
Are Divided Among the Presidential
Propositions.

Columbus, o., May 2S.-Leaders are in
conference here to-day preparatory 10
the Democratic state convention of the
next two days. Nothing seems to be
settled in advance except the candi-
dacy of Webb P. Huntington of Column
bus for Secretary of State. He has no
opposition.
The Hearst men have for weeks been
contending in Ohio for district delegates
to the national convention at St. Louis
and for county delegations to the state
convention here this week, but they
have failed to get a majority of either,
so that there will be no such scenes of
contest as were expected here during
the week. The Hearst men are now in
favor of no Endorsement for any one for
President This would give them the
district delegates they have secured.
while any instructions or the unit rule
would prevent them from getting any
votes from Ohio at st. Louis. 1t seems
certain that there will be no instruC-
tions for either Hearst or Parker.
Hearst adherents tonight say they
will have majority in the state CEN
trail committee tomorrow, when ron-
tests will be determined over 200 dele
gates from Cuyahoga, Hamilton,
Franklin, Montgomery, Summit, Miami
and Madison counties.
Bryan and Hearst partisans say they
have, out of 72S delegates, 351, while
their opponents have 172, with 200
doubtful.
Opponents of Hearst say the contests
will be decided in their favor by the
Committee on Credentials, no matter
what the state committee does, that
their poll gives them 1923 delegates to
200 for Hearst without the 200 contest
ed seats, and that when the convention
is permanently organized any ballot
will show 523 against 200 for Hearst.
If Hearsts friends succeed to-mor-
row the action will affect not only 200
seats in the convention, but also nine
of the twenty-one congressional dis
tricts, with their nine members of the
new State Central Committee and of
the regular committees, including that
on Credentials. and on Resolutions.
1t is conceded that the convention
will be opened by Hearst adherents.
w. L. Finley, Ohio manager for
Hearst, as chairman of the State Cen
trail Committee, will call the conven-
ton to order Wednesday morning
r. L. Starr, chairman, and the rest
of the temporary organization are
Hearst men. When Starr was first Sc
lected as temporary chairman, it was
reported that he would deliver key
note speech that would carry the con-
vention by storm for Hearst, but since
Hearst partisans are now advocating
no endorsement for President the adj
dress of the temporary chairman is ex-
pected to be conciliatory. He will, it
is said, declare that the next national
platform and ticket should be made
by those who supported the Demo-
cratic national ticket during the last
eight years.
Separate meetings were held to-day
by the opposing members OF the State
Central Committee. Hearst's support
ers claimed control, but could give no
figures. The conservatives claimed
eleven of the twenty-one members sure
with three doubtful and shat they
would control majority of the dis
tricts and the convention.

NEGRO CHURCHES PAGAN.

Many of Them.

Many of Them.
Cleveland, o., May 23.-At the sew
enty-second annual meeting of the
American Baptist Home Mission So
ciety to-day, DR.. Wallace Buttrfck of
New York. secretary of the General
Education Board, described the pres
ent status of the negro in this country
as a man and citizen. accepting the
view of Bishop Galloway, of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, that
there Will never be social mingffng of
the races. that they will worship in
separate churches, and be educated in
separate schools, that political power
will remain in present hands, and the
negro is here to stay. Granting this,
the four needs of the negro are, home
land, school and church, and he needs
them all at once. These will give him
self-directing capacity and economic
ernclency. Many negro churches are
pagan and must be christianized.
President Sale of Atlanta College
said the most alarming thing from a
southern educators point of view was
the growing unrest and discontent
among the negroes, for which they had
cause enough, since never had race
feeling run so high nor the negro had
so little show.

GILMER MANAGERS
HAVE BEEN INDICTED.
Charged with Fraud and Corruption
in the Election.

IN the EAectfOn.
Ellijay, Ga, May 2S.--The Gilmer
county grand jury at the May term, re-
turned true bills against the election
managers at Ellijay, Cartecay and
Tails Creek precincts. the charge be-
ing fraud and corruption in the man
agement of the recent primary cleo
ton. 1t is alleged that duly qualified
white voters were not allowed to vote.
There is much indignation over this
matter among the voters of Gilmer
county. Men who were managers in
the primary two years ago were not
allowed to vote in the recent primary,
after swearing that they would sup
port the nominees of the Democratic
party.
Ex-Confederate soldiers. who were
with Lee and Jackson, were refused the
privilege of voting. A delegate TO the
Gainesville Democratic convention was
finally allowed to vote, after swearing
that he was such a delegate. In some
of the county precincts the managers
refused to let more than fifty registered
men vote.
The managers would not believe their
ne:ghbors on oath. and refused to let
them vote. The witnesses in these
cases swear that they are Democrats,
had paid their taxes. and that they
have heretofore participated in pri-
mary elections.
These cases stand for trial at the &C.
tober term of Gilmer Superior Court.
