when he concluded lengthy address,
the burden of which was a panorama
of the prosperity Of the country con-
trasted with a. monetary system, which
Is infexible and liable thereby to
bring disaster at any crucial time.
Frank A. Vanderlip, of the Nation
al City Bank of New York, former
assistant secretary OF the treasury,
saw the same prosperity and he also
saw dangers. Secretary Shaw suggest
ed remedy-a heav" taxed national
bank note currency. which would be
drawn forth at times OF unusual de-
mand for money and by reason OF the
tax be retired Immediately upon
changed conditions.
Mr.. yanderlip had no advice 10 offer

FARMERS Union MEETS,
Convention Held In Atlanta With a
Large Attendance Of Delegates.
Proceedings interesting.

The convention of the Georgia divis.
ion Of the Farmers Union was for
mally called to order In the hall of
the house of representatives In the
state capitol, Atla~ta, Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock by President
G.. s. Barrett of Thomaston.
Immediately after the convention
was formally opened President Bar
rett introduced State Chaplain j. c.
venahle, who offered up short but
fervent prayer that God might guide
the rulers OF the convention and en-
tighten them as to their duty on every
point.
After prayer the secretary-treasurdr
of the Farmers Union. r. F. Duck
worth of Thomaston read his report,
showing what amounts had been re-
ceived and the nature of the disburse-
ments. ~
When this report was finished
President Barrett, who also acts as
state business agent n the Farmers
Union, read his report. The report
showed that the organization was
growing, literally, by leaps and
bounds.
General discussion followed, and af
ter the members had finished compli-
menting both Mr. Barrett and Mr..
cuckworth, the main feature of in.
terest was presented. This was the
reading Of Mr. Barrett's address as
president OF the union. When Mr..
Barrett had concluded, there was
some mighty cheering done by the
400 or 500 delegates present.
Members of the convention then
got right down to bedrock business,
and various committees were appoint
ed. The committee on fertilizers was
first to report. This committee de-
cided to fix the minimum price of cot
| ton seed at $40 ton.
The committee on fertilizers also
passed a resolution asking all farrA
ers, members of the union, to manu-
facture their own fertilizers at home.
1t is argued that the farmers can do
this very readily by merely purchas-
I ing the materials and mixing them
with special machinery, which is in
exnensiYe and quite as effectual for
mixing the chemicals as those used
by the guano fac 'ories.
The night session was interesting
ard fruitful of good in the way Of
| committee work.
| The following delegates to the ma
.tiona1 convention, which is to be he'd
in Texarkana. Texas, December 5,were
elected: G. s. Barrett Of Thomaston,
Ca; r. F. Duckworth of Thomaston,
Ca: s.. J. Smith OF Forsyth county;
w. v. Martin of Cherokee county,
and F. J. Vining of Upson county.
Among the speeches delivered at
the night session was one of spe-
cial interest by E. j. Cook, secretary
treasurer of the Alabama division OF
the Farmers Union
Another address of interest was
that delivered by e. O. Gum of Bibb
county. Mr.. Gum told of the gre;1
part the Farmers Union played in the
fight for better prices for cotton. The
meeting was adjourned at 10 p. m.
until Thursday.

Got Cold Reception from Popuiace,
81 But Emperor Honors Him.
Baron Komura, the foreign minister,
who acted as chief plenipotentiary for
Japan, arrived in Toxic Monday.
His reception at the railroad station
was not enthusiastic, those present
being principally government dignita-
ries. The streets were strongly guard
ed by troops, police and gendarmes
The baron drove to the palace in an
imperial carriage, where he was cor
daily received by the emperor, and
during the audience, which lasted ove'
an hour, it is believed the baron made
d full verbal report to the emperor
of the cosirse Of the peace negotia-
tions, emphasizing President Roose
velt's efforts in behalf of peacs.
At the close of the audience the
emperor honored the baron with a
written personal message, highly
priced by japanese statesmen. The
message expressed satisfaction at the
fact that reace was concluded and
commended Komul-a's able services as
shown during the negotiations.

RAWLINGS CONfESSES.
Says He Hired All Moore to XIII the
Carriers and Attempts to Clear
Sons Of All Blames

A considerable sensation was Great
ed in valcosta, Georgia. Monday,
by. the confession of j.. G.. Rawl-
ings, in which he acknowledged that
he hired the condemned accomplice.
ALI Moore. to kill w. L. Carter.
Rawlings attempts to clear his sons
of completely in the assassination OF
the Carter children last June, and
while he tdmits hiring ALI Moore to
"put old man Carter out of the way,
he still contends that neither one OF
his sons was present or had anything
to do with the tragedy.
1t has been rumored for several
days that the elder Rawlings contem
plated confessing his part In the crime,
and once or twice in conversation with
visitors to the jail he was trapped
into alleged discriminating admissions.
His action Monday; however, was en-
tirely voluntary, unless it be that he
wife, who, 1t has been freely stated.
came to SEQ him for the purpose Of
trying to set him to shoulder the. re-
sponsibility for the assassinations and
try to save his sons from the galiows.
Rawlings sent word to Sheriff Pass
more that he wanted to make a state
ment. and asked the officer to come
up to the .ail and bring two or three
gentlemen with him. The sheriff did
so, and the confession was made in the
presence of that officer, Orrin Regis
ter, Tube Swindle and newspaper
reporter. The condSmned man talked
for more .Ean half an hour, and start
ed out with history of his trouble
with Carter. 1a
He said that the deal with Alf
Moore to kill Carter was made
through Joe Bently, negro, who was
tried for completely In the affair. but
who came clear. He stated that Moore
was given positive instructions not to
harm the children of the Carter home;
their murder was not a part of the
program, and came about, so Rawlings
says Alf Moore told Bentley, because
the little Carter boy ran into the yard
with his rife, Moore claiming that he
shot him in self defense.
Rawlings stated that the negro,
Moore, went to Carter's home on the
afternoon before the children were
assassinated that night, with the in
tention of killing him, but Carter re-
| fused to come out of the house when
Moore hailed at the gate Moore went
to the little house in the field, as
stated In the recent trial, whore he
stayed until night, and where Rawlings
carried him dinner. and supper.
dramatic scene was presented in
the Jail as the elder Rawlings pro-
| ceeded with his story. He wept bit.
terly as he detailed the story of the
| crime.
| Now, gentlemen" said Rawlings
'ff | have not told you the truth
hope l may never I'VE to get out OF
this chair
"Who helped Moore to do the kill
ing?'' he was asked.
Nobody; he was by himself. and
he never thought of bringing my boys
into it until after they were arrest
ed"
Rawlings is an adroit talker and
| his statement was delivered with
| much feeling. 1t left many things con
nected with the crime unexplained
| During the recital the older son, Mil
ton, who was in the adjoining cell
| never uttered a word.

SPEER OVERRULED
By Decision of High Court in
Noted Chain-Gang Case,
NO POINT is SUSTAINED
Had Court Sustained JurIst Every
Chain Gang Prisoner In state Of
Georgia Could Have Secured
Liberty.

A Washington dispatch says: The
we'll known Wimbish-Jamison case,
from Macon, Ca, was decided in the
supreme court Monday. The action .f
Judge Emory Speer Of the southern
federal district of Georgia, was re-
versed AMI the case remanded. The
effect of his is to uphold the record
er's court Cf Macon.
E. A. WfmD.sh is superintendent
Of the Bib5 county chaingang.
Tn.s is the case in which United
States Judge Speer interfered with
the sentence of a prisoner, Jamison,
a colored man, by a recorders court
Of Macon, to work on the streets.
The opinion of tho court, rendered
one week from the day of argument,
was the occasion of some surprise. IL
was contained in few words only,
and contrary to the usual custom, was
not even reduced to writing.
Henry s.Jamison was arrested on
March 13. 1904, on a charge Of being
drunk and disorderly, and being tried
before the recorder of the city of Ma
con, plead guilty and on two counts
was sentenced to pay a fine of SEQ
or be committed to the county chain
gang for 20 days. Four days later
the prisoner, instead of taking advan-
tage of the usual remedies under the
state laws. presented a petition for a
writ of hateas corpus cum causa to
Judge Speer of the federal court, al
leging that his arrest and punishment
were illegal. because they were with
out due process of law" and because
be was subject ito infamous punish
ment :. in violation of the
constitution Of the United States"
The case was finally argued in june,
1904, and Judge Speer, after having it
under advisement for week, ordered
the discharge of JamIson, holding,
among other things, that 'Jamison was
detained of his liberty and subjected
to Infamous punishment without due
process of law"
Besides" the Judge ruled, "the SEN
tence against him is void, void for
want of due process of law and void
because one man cannot adjudge in
fanny
The co,ltentions of Wimbish, the
respondent in the lower court, were
in part as follows.
THAT Jamison should be remanded
to his custody as superintendent of
the chaingang, and should not be dis
charged upon writ of habeas cor
pus, for the reason that he held him
under a sentence from a police court
OF summary powers, with Jurisdiction
over the person and the offense, as
provided by the law of the state.
THAT the case did not imperatively
demand Jamison's release by writ Of
habeas corpus
The case involving the determine.
tion of tight claimed under the con.
stitution Of the United States, it was
appealed TO the federal supreme
court, with the result already stated.
The decision cuashes the writ of hab-
cas- corpus and dismisses the petition.
Had Judge Sreer been upheld, fed
eral district Judge would have been
given the over to release every per
son confined at hard labor under the
processes of state courts, and the rule
that punishment by hard labor is In
famous punishment, contrary to the
fifth amendment to the constitution,
would have been established.
