BONDHOLDERS MAKE DEMANDS Big Amount of Interest
 Wanted. S0UTHERNERS HOLD BOOKS Central of Georgia Again in the
 Limelight. Representatives of Holders of Income. Bonds Conferred With New
 Owners of Road and Ex-
 amined Books.


 New York, Aug. 21.-The represen- tatfves of the holders of the income bonds of the Central of Georgia Rail- way, who have been comforting for the last few days in New York. with the new owners of the road, Oakleigh Thorne and Marsden J. Perry, have finished examining the books of the company and have given Mir. Thorne and Mir. Perry very plainly to under stand that they expect the interest on the whole s15,000,000 of bonds to be the books of the company show that earnings fall a little short of the amount of interest.
 The bondholders set up that the books should have been kept different ly, and that if they had, ample margin would have been shown They admit, however, that the whole matter is a technical question and that the officers of the company showed every courtesy only another case, they say, of the present clash between holders of in- come bonds and the stockholders.
 They have all gone down south again now, where a large proportion or the bonds are held, and they will take no further action until the railroad men decide at the directors meeting, on August 23, whether or not they will accede to the demands of the bond holders. There was q strong likeii- hood before that they would not pay the interest on all the bonds, and that is why the bondho1ders came North to find out how things stood.
 The project of arranging for a re- funding of the bonds by first mortgage. which was talked of at first, has been given up, for the present at least. on account of the stringent condition of the money market A representative of the bondholders said yesterday that he felt confident that the interest would be paid rather than incur the hostility or the large number of bond holders The railroad men did not commit themselves in any way as to their action.
 The bonds, which are per cent and are S15,00O,0O0 in amount. are In three classes On the first class of which S4, ,000 is outstanding. some inter est has been paid ever since 1t was brought out in 1895, and the full rate has been paid for the last four years The second class, of which there is ST, ,OOO. 900, got per cent in 1904 and the full rate for the last two years. !. The third class, of which there is s4.- 000, 0,000, got nothing until the last two years, when the full rate was paid. The interest is payable annually on October 1.
 The investigation of the books in New York has been carried on by a committee of i've representing the bondholders. They found that the books showed earnings sufficient to pay the interest on the first class Of bonds, but not enough to pay the in- terest on the other two There were number of cases, one of the commit tee said, where they thought charges were wrongly made against earnings which should have gone against capi- tai account With these changes, he said, there would be plenty to pay all the interest, which would amount to $T50, 900.

the water; the Bagobos in shanties built among a clump of trees In the limbs of which are built lounging places and the Tagalos, Ilocanos and Visayans, representative of the best class of people in the islands, in strong -iy constructed houses. The Moro mar ket place, an exact reproduction of a lounging place in Moro land. showing the natives gambling and cock-fight- ing, is one of the most interesting fea- lures of the reservation. Here the vis- itax is introduced to Prince Sansaluna who although only 1T years old. Is the absolute ruler of all the Moros of whom there are some 15ooo0.
 This young man Is the son of Datto Ali. one of the most noted war chiefs in the Philippines. Ali was killed in a battle with American troops In octo- Der. 1905,, after years of bloody war. Sansaiuna is the guest of the United States government and will remain in this country until he has received a thorough college education, for which he Is now being prepared He lives in a hut erected solely for his purposes and is accompanied by four faithful slaves who never leave his side. They prepare all his food and sleep at his side at night.
 The Bagobo tribe is interesting first DeCAuSG second because 1t is the first time 1t has ever been seen outside of It's na- tive land. The Bagobo is the finest bead worker in the world, samples or the work being shown in the village on the Reservation.
 The members of the Tagalo, Ilocano and visayan races represent the best blood of the islands. They comprise the Aauinaldo Orchestra which Is cred ited with furnishing the sweetest mu- sic at the Exposition. The instruments used are all native made and produce much sweeter tone than our American instruments |,
 The Exposition Hall in which IS shown an exhibit worth many thou sands of dollars. and the Bazaar Build ing are points of much interest to the average visitor. In the Bazaar are found several Tagalo women weaving nina cloth, made from the fibre of pine apple leaves, and just cloth made from Q native silk. Here too. is found a young Visayan painting In oil. All told. the Philippine Reser- yation car very justly be regarded as one of the show places of the Exposi- ffnn

RECORDER IN SELMA
THREE CANDIDATES FOR NEW
 OFFICE.
City Council will Choose Monday Night Between Mcssrs. Updegram, Berry and Carson--Mr.
 Vaughan for Mayor.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Aug. 21.
 The regular monthly meeting of the City Council of Selma Is scheduled to take place next Monday night This meeting of the Council should have been held on the night of August IF, but on account of no quorum being present. 1t was postponed until Monday night.
 During today there has been dis cussed on the streets the question of the Council electin@ a Recorder at the meeting on Monday night. There is difference of opinion among the citizens as to the eIecting of Record CT at the meeting which will be held Monday night.
 The provision for the electing of a Recorder for the court of Selma was made a law along with the other pro- visions carried in the general munich pal bill which was passed by the re- cent Legislature Seven members of the City Council of Selma, 1t was stated to- day, were in favor of this election tax ing place at the meeting which will be held Monday night. The other three members of the Council are non-com- initial and have not expressed them selves.
 If the election for c Recorder takes place, there will come up before the C0uncll tH0 nhu1Sb Ot lhTeo CAhuAoHNSs for that office. These candidates are D. D. Updegrafr, R.. D. Berry and Paul Carson. Each of the three also seems to have an equal showing to be elected to the office.
 Political gossip was the subject of | many discussion today, notwithstand- | ing the hot weather. The new muni- cipal bill requires that an election shall be held next September for the ofice | of Mayor and the other city officials of Selma went through the throes of Q | city election last April. but since the passage of the municipal bill the mat ter of getting out a candidate for Mayor 1 of the city at the election in September, 1908, has been very generally discussed. While this matter has been generally discussed, until today no names have been mentioned in connection with this ofice. Today the name of Hon. Wat 1 kins M Vaughan was mentioned for l the office, and some of that gentleman's | friends expressed the belief that he would make the race. So far as heard | no other name has been mentioned, and l it Is believed that strong pressure will be brought to bear upon MT Vaughan by his friends, and that he will con- | sent.
 MT. Vaughan Is a well known attor- ney of this city He has been honored before by the voters of Dallas County. If he stands for election and is elected. he would make the city of Selma good Mayor and would mak5 one who would please the citizens generally.
