Is the Claim Made by John Hester
Says He Was Held by Negroes and
White Men Beat Him Up Terribly.
Eye Closed, Face Badly Swollen.

Tifton, Ga, March John Hes
ter, foreman at the turpentine camp
of D. L. c.. Harper, near Alapaha,
arrived in Triton Friday morning at
an early hour il terribly beaten and
bruised condition.
Mr.. Hester says that his injuries
were inflicted by unknown parties at
Inaha, flag station on the Georgia
Southern Florida railway, about 12
miles north of Triton, in Turner coun-
ty. He left Triton on the northbound
train at 6:25 o'clock for 1naha. He
says that his business there was to
pay the accounts of five negroes who
wished to leave the employ of a tur
pentine firm, who run a still about d
mile from that place. The five ne
groes were to meet him at the train
that night, and he says they met him,
accompanied by several more, and
all of them claimed that they wanted
to leave their employees at that place
and TO go to work for Mr. Harper.
Mr.. Hester says that he told them he
could not pay the accounts Of all, as
he did not have the money
While he was talking he saws that
one Of the negroes caught both of his
arms around him, and that the fore
man, white man, who had come up

rifle his pockets He was knock ID
down several times, and thinks that
there were several men doing the
beating: He saw two or more ne
groes With pistols, but does not think
any one struck him but the white
men, of whom there were two pres
ent. He says he does not know what
he was hit with, but his wounds show
that it as something besides mems
hands.
According to his story, he was them
carried to house nearby, where one
white man and some negroes guarded
him until an early hour in the morn
ing, when the white men and the ne
gro carried him to Ashburn, and put
him aboard the southbound passenger
train, leaving there about 8: 80 a. m
Mr.. Hester says that he does not
know either of the men that beat
him, but thinks one was the foreman
at the turpentine still, near where
the assault took place. While no
other side of the story has been heard
but the one he tells, his appearance
shows that he was badly used,
His left eye is closed entirely, and
his face swollen until it is almost be-
yond recognition. There are several
cuts also ON his head.

Montgomery, Ala. March 9-Gov-
ernor B. B. Conner has signed one OF
the bills for the benefit of the wafer
power rights given by congress for
the development of the Musel Shoals
The other is on his desk, and will be
Birmingham, it is expected. These
are regarded as measures of particu-
lar Importance, as they make it pos
sibIe to go along with the work OF
building a dam at Florence and get
ting in the power machinery to he
installed there. J. w. Worthing
ton, of Sheffield, is at the head of
a company that is to spend several
millions of dollars there in a dam and
water powers.
Another important bill signed is
the anti bucketshop measure, the eff
feet of which will be to prohibit deal
ing in futures after the first day of
next January This is the Reese
bill, and is almost a copy of the South
Carolina law recently upheld by the
supreme court of the United States
1t was supported by the members of
the Alabama Cotton association, and
is in line with the platform of the
party.
The resolutions providing for recess
commissions to make up a municipal
code and to investigate an alleged fer
tilizer trust, were also signed before
the governor left the city.
The Reynolds tagrancy bill has
been signed and is now a law.
This bill makes it the duty of the
defendant in any case of vagrancy to
show affirmatively that he or she has
visible means of support. The old
law put the burden on the state to
show that they did not have such sup
port. The law also makes the pen
atty hard labor, seeking to make
every one convicted work.
Other bills that have received the
approval of the governor are: A po-
lice commission provision, made to
reach Birmingham particularly; pro-
viding for maintenance of the boys
industrial school at East Lake, and
allowing cities to pay mayors as much
as S5, 900; this last bill is also made
to help Birmingham.

VETO POWER NOT
USED BY Conner
Alabama Executive and Legis
lature Ia Full Accord.
NO IRON HAND is DISPLAYED
Harmony Prevailed Between Conner
and Legislators, and No Bill Was
Ever in Danger of Failure Because
! of Controversy.

Montgomery Ala, March s.
There are only 20 bills yet to be sign
ed by the governor. Among them is
the Miller bill, providing for the
extension of cities and towns, out o.
which Birmingham may secure great
er limits if it so elects, by coming I'm
and being taxed, all alike. With this
much work yet to do Governor Co
mer has left the city for few day.
in Birmingham, this being the first
trip out of the city since the opening
of the legislative session. He Will
be away until after Sunday, it is
expected.
1t is remarkable that there was nor
a single disagreement between the
governor and the legislature that was
not settled in the best of good humoT
by the adoption of amendments suG-
gested by the executive in bills that
did not meet approval. In every
case where he asked changes in this
way. the legislature agreed and no.
a single veto was recorded or lnt1mat-
ed. Though the constitutional pro-
vision of allowing the governor to
make suggested amendments makes
the likelihood of vetoes less. it is re-
garded as rather surprising that he
did not even come close to one.
This feature of the session has been
pointed to with pride on the part OF
the friends of the governor, in the
light of the many charges that he
ruled, or intended to rule with an
iron hand, the work Of the legislature
and the law making conduct of the
members. There has never been
more harmony at a session in the
history of the state than has pre-
vailed in 1907 SO far Not one of
the many measures was ever in dan
ger because of a failure to adopt by
either the body or the governor, the
whole tenor of the session being one
of getting together on platform bills
and keeping together on promises to
the people
Most of the laws promised in the
campaign were passed. the notable
exception being an antilobby meas
ure In the case of this it devel-
oped that there was not overly much
in the way of demand after all.

second and third, Lohman went to
