EDITOR ESTILL
SUES FOR LIBEL
Atlanta Journal is Asked to Hand
Over $4,000 as Damages.
NEGRO VOTES PURCHASED
Was Charge Made in Journal by Cor
respondent, and Head of Savannah
News Takes Exception.

Col. John H. Estill, editor-in-chief
Of the Savannah Morning News, and
recent candidate for governor Of Geor-
gia, has filed suit for $4,000 dam.
ages against the Atlanta Journal for
alleged libel during the recent guber-
material campaign in Georgia.
The suit was filed Saturday after
noon with the clerk of the superior
court Of Fulton county in Atlanta by
Attorney Twlggs and Oliver of sa-
yannah.
The alleged libel, 1t is charged,
grew out of 4 card which the Journal
published on August 3, 1906, the card
bearing the signature of g. A.. Kol-
ler, Of Meinhard, Chatham County,
Georgia"
Among other things said by Roller
against Colonel Rstill was the charge
that he had purchased negro votes in
Savannah, along with ward politicians,
for the purpose of defeating farmers
for a fence or no fence law.
Colonel EStill claims that the pub
LEGATION of the card greatly injured
him both as citizen and business
man, and that the card was libelous.
He asked that the Atlanta Journal
Company be made to pay him $4,000
for said alleged libel.
There was a great deal of card writ
ing, along with other writing during
the heated campaign in Georgia, and a
lot of things were said chat were not
complimentary. Most of this, how
ever, could not be regarded as libel
Gus in the eyes Of the law. Colonel
Fstill believes that the card about
him in the Journal was OF a different
type from the other campaign stuff,
and he takes the position that to pub
licIy charge that a citizen has bought
votes is ruinous to his character in
the community in which he lives.

OPERATIVES WIN VICTORY
FAN River Cotton Hills are Forced to
GRAFT Higher Wages to Thirty
Thousand Workers.

The great army of cotton mill en-
ployaes in Fall River Mass, have won
battle for an increase in wages, and
1000 operatives will come under a
scale giving them 10 per cent more
than the present rate.
The granting of the advance by the
manufacturers prevented a strike. the
workmen having voted to stop work
in all mills if the new schedule was
not accepted.
M. c. D. Borden, an independent
cotton manufacturer, employing 5000
operatives, took the lead in meeting
the demands of the mill hands by an
nouncing that the scale of wages in
his mills would be raised 10 per cent.
No demand had been made upon the
proprietor If Fall River iron works
mills. and his action practically fore
ed the other mill manufacturers to
grant the incrNase.
The new pay scale affects seventy
corporations operating ninety-two
mills, besides the iron works plant.
The manufacturers associations agree
ment to pay the increase is for a pc
ried of six months, but provision is
made for extending it.
Between November 1908, and July,
1904, the Fall River operatives suf-
fered reductions aggregating % IL
per cent. Last spring a part of the cut
was restored, and in view of the con-
tinued prosperous business condition,
the operatives demanded a complete
resumption Of the 1903 scale.
It is considered probable that other
cotton mills ultimately will be benefit
ed by, the determined stand taken by
the Fall River unions.

JURY INDICTS
A PROMOTER
Millionaire Fitzgerald Must An
Swer Charge Of Fraudulent Acts.
WITHHOLDING OF PROFITS
Ia Connection With Founding a Colony
Town in Georgia the Chargs--De-
fsndsnt DenisS Allegation. ),

Philander II. Fitzgerald million
aire pension attorney, colonization or
garizer, publisher Of the American
Tribune, an old soldier paper, and
real estate dealer, was indicted at
Indianapolis, Thursday. by the FEDERAL
grand jury on the charge of using
the mails to defraud. Two. indictments,
10th of the same general tenor, were
returned against him, both in con
nection with a colonizing scheme in
Georgia. Fitzgerald went to the fede-
raj building on hearing Of the indict-
ment and gave bond in the sum OF
$4,000 to appear in answer to the
charges. . NJ. i
Fitzgerald began his career in. IN
dianapolis as a pension attorney SOON
after the war, and has done an eRqr-
nous business laying the foundation Of
his immense fortune out Of the $40
fees that he received for obtaining
pensions. Soon after he began as
pension attorney, he inaugurated The
American Tribune, monthly paper.
which he. sent free to former soldiers
and in which he recorded the ,pensipIis
granted and kept the Veterans posted
on all matters relating to pensions and
laws.
Several years ago he advertised q
colonization scheme open only to vet
Grams of the war Of the rebellion. He
had purchased. large tract OF land In
the state of Texas and organized a
company in which he asked the ex-.
soldiers to take stock. "a ,p - -.
The Texas project did not pan. out
well, and he organized the 1904 Colony
Company and advertised it in his pa
per. He protested to have purchased .
a large tract Of land at site which
he called st. George, Ca, and which
was to be laid out in building and
residence lots and farms from s to
l65 acres. 49,
The payment Of $40 entitled a per-
son to one share Of stock or a resi-
denee lot; $40 gave him a business lot,
or two shares of stock; $50 would
antitle d person to acres, and so on
for as much as any cared to take. It
is charged that Fitzgerald did liot'ihtss
corporate the company; that he got in
about 1000 on his scheme and spent
about $4,000 in plating the town,
building postoftce and making othef
improvements; that he has not divided (
the. surplus as he promised; that. he
did not appoint board Of governors.
"but did unlawfully and feloniously
convert all Of said profits to his own
USE
The alleged plat Of land on which
st. George is situated is on the Geor1
gfa Southern and Florida railway, .beas
tween Valdosta and Jacksonville, Fla.
