EX0NERAfES CARTER.
Declaration Made that Former Ca
Did Not Get q Cent Of None
WrongfuIIy-May Shift Suit.

THE government has never c.
Gated any of the property of former
Captain Oberlin M. Carter" declared
Horace G. Stone, of Chicago, attorney
for Carter, who arrived in Savannar
Ca, Saturday from Quebec, Canada
All that property is held under
receiyership established with the cor
sent of the government, and it is to
revert to Captain Carter just as soon
as the latter can establish his ipno.
cence Of the charges of conslpeinsg
upon which he was convicted andSacF
TO Leavenworth for I'VE years
This trusteeship will end early next
year when we have a trial before
Judge Kohlsaat, in Chicago. Then
Captain Carriers innocence will be es.
tablished and he will get his property.
Il am just from Quebec, where /
saw Greene and Gaynor. Greene told
me himself that Carter had received
not one cent from the Savannah har-
Dor contracts and that he was abso.
lutely innocent. Greene told me that,
of course, would understand that he
could not profit anyway by sayinA
this, and that the evidence would go
for naught, but that he was neverthe.
less ready to swear it in the interest
of truth and right" :.
Stone is in Savannah to take testi.
mony before the United States com-
missioner with the view of submitting
it to Judge Kohlsaat.
When the innocence Of former Cap
tain Carter is proven, as Attorney
Stone declares it will be, the govern
ment will shift its suits against the
possessions of Carter and seek to re.
cover from the estate of r. F. West
colt, father in law of Carter.
The action against the estate of the
late Westcott will be based, it is said,
upon the alleged relations between
Westcott and Greene and Gaynor that
would render Westcott liable for the
amounts secured from the government
by fraud.
1t is said to be certain that, Carter
establishing his innocence, as Stone is
convinced he will do, the government
will proceed against the Westcott cs-
tate.

Yeomans Issues Warning.

Hon. M. j. Yeomans, chairman ct
the state democratic executive com
mittee. has issued a statement to the
democratic voters of Georgia, in which
he tells of the dangers confronting
the democracy in Georgia, and urging
that full vote be polled. Unless the
democratic electors get a majority of
all the votes polled it may be neces-
sary for an extra session of the legis-
Iature in order to elect electors, and
as there are republican electors, popu-
list electors and Prohibition electors,
in addition to the democratic electors,

NO REVOLT IN PANAMA.

Governor Davis of Canal Zone Says
Reports Were Untrue.
A Panama dispatch says: General
Davis, governor of the Panama Canal
zone, authorizes the Associated Press
to deny the reported disturbances at
Culebra, or at any place in the zone
or in its vicinity.
President Amador confirms General
Davis statement.
Official investigation by the military
authorities discloses the fact that the
reported presence of armed mon at
Culebra is untrue.

populist candidate, is Cling to poll a
large vote, as will his electors in the
state of Georgia; nearly all the ne
,groes in the state will vote for Roose.
velt, and the followers of Swallow are
sure to cast few votes for him and
his electoral ticket.
In the last national election McKin-
ley got $4,000 votes in Georgia. while
Bryan got only $4,000. Chairman Yeo-
mans wants a bigger vote this year
He wants a majority of loo, 900 if pos
sible, and ever since the state ecsction
closed he has been devOting himselr
to work for Parker and Davis.
The situation, as Mr.. Yeomans
views 1t, is indeed very grave, and he
says unless the democrats show more
interest on November 9Th the party
will have serious trouble in this state,
for, if the electors do not get major
icy OF all the votes cast, the legisla-
ture must be called in special session
TO select electors.
The Local Tax Amendment Passed.
The local tax amendment for schools
was carried in the recent state cleo
ton by over 10000 majority. The
passage CT this amendment marks
new era in public education. In the
past we have looked entirely to the
general treasury for support Of our
common schools. The progressive
county or district must needs wait
upon the backward community. The
towns an cities having the right Of
voting a supplementary tax were adj
vancing faster than the country dis
trlcts adjoining them. The amendment
gives equa' rights to all communities.
They may continue to support their
schools on what the state pays or they
may levy 10 to rs cents tax on the
hundred dollars to increase the term,
improve the teaching force and the
SCuOOA UutAuAAA6'
/ do mo- believe there Will be any
sudden Widespread change from the
present system. 1t has taken forty
years to PIT local taxation for schools
in one hundred towns and cities in
Georgia Notwithstanding the universal
success e these local systems. It
will doubtless take ten years more TO
complete the work in the towns. We
may expect a few districts to impose
a tax as early as the law will permit, |
others viii follow; soon whole com
munity will vote the tax.
Within twenty years l look for 10 |
cal tax for school purposes to be the
rule in ali the progressive sections of |
the state The people have too long
the support of their schools to make |
a sudden change; but it behooves all |
lovers of the young to continue the
agitation for local support education
being civic duty. believe we should |
drive home these three propositions.
First-It is the duty of every parent
TO see that his child attends school |
second-It is the duty of every
to provide proper educa-
tional facilities for its young
Third; is the duty Of the state
to provide higher educational insti-
buttons for the youth of the state

Georglans Win Prizes.

Georgia and Georgia exhibitors are
the winners of many valued prizes in
the awards made in the agricultural
buildings at the st. LOUIS worlds fair.
Commissioner 81 Agriculture o. B.
stevens who has just returned from
st. Louis where he has been looking
after Georgia's interests, brings with
him list of the awards made in the
Georgia exhibit, both to the state and
the individual exhibitors.
The state of Georgia took one grand
prize which is the highest award, and
one gold medal which comes second
ia rank. The grand prize was given

Captain Hitch Intimates Action,
Captain R. M. Hitch was asked for
statement relative to the finding of
the courtmartial in IS case. He said
that he was yet in tn service of the
state, and would be until he received
his formal order of dismissal, and did
not, on that account, care to make a
written statement at this time. He,
however, intimated his position.
The only regret have to express
on the whole affair is that any of the
other officers should be made to suffer.
From the first I assumed entire re.
sponsibility and have never censured
or criticised any officer under my com.
mand. am therefore very sorry that
the court should have taken their
cases under advisement or inflicted
punishment on them. 1 am PARTON.

killing by the grand jury.
