BIG CROWD FOR THE DEBATE

Atlanta, June Especial -Governor
Terrell today decided definitely to appoint
two superior court Judges as Justices pro
hac in the case of Hancock and other
counties, along the line of the Georgia
railroad, against Richmond county, In
which suit was brought by the other
counties to force a division by Richmond
or the tax money collected on the stock
OF the Western Railway OF Alabama,
which was recently declared taxable by
the supreme court. Judges Cobb and
I'ump<in are disqualified and the defend
ants insisted that the case be tried be-
fore full court. It will probably be sew
eral days before Governor Terrell will an
nounce the names of the judges who will
be called upon to sit in the supreme court
In connection with this case.
Enormous Crowd Expected.
Arrangements are being smoothly per-
feeted for the Howell-Smith Joint debate
tomorrow night, and one OF the greatest
political meetings In Georgia's history
is expected. Both candidates have received
assurances that there will be many Wis
itors from other cities to hear the speak
ers, and 1t is thought that the auditorium
which can seat COCO persons, will be taxed
to Its fullest capacity.
None of Injured Dies.
None of those injured In last night s
wreck. when a Central of Georgia ex-
press telescoped picnic train on the At
lanta and West Point. has died as the
result of the accident. so It seems likely
that the death list will stand at one, To-
day the number of injured is placed at
twenty-four.
Both railroads are now conducting in
Vestigations, and 1t is understood that .
Joint Investigation will be had later. Flag
man billiard of the West Point, who was
reported to have failed to flag the in
coming train, and to have run away after
the accident. declares that he made every
effort to stop the Central train, and that
he only left the scene of the wreck to
report the disaster Engineer Cosby of the
Central says his train was running only
six miles an hour when the collision oc-
CURED.
Frisco Survivor Attempts Suicide.
Cecil Quite 20 years of age, formerly

at the time of the recent earthquake, and
who narrowly escaped death in the disas-
ter, attempted to commit suicide this
morning at the Tabernacle infirmary He
shot himself with u pisto4, the ball enter
ing just below the heart, and 1t is prob
able that he will die. He has been In bad
health ever since coming to Atlanta i'm
nediately after the Frisco horror and
it is thought that despair of regaining
his health is responsible for his attempt
to take his lifes

from the convict camp at Fargo while
serving sentence for poeket-p picking dur
ing the Valdosta fair, was arrested one
day after getting away, and has been re-
