CROSS-COUNTRY ELECTRIC LINE
Interesting Runor In Connection
With Merging Power Companies.

Atlanta, Sept. 29--One Of the early
ly announced consolidation of all the
hydro-electric development in the
Piedmont section of North Georgia,
it is understood, will be the construc-
crossing Georgia to the South Caro-
lima line, where it will connect with
the lines now projected by the COM
pany of which James B. Duke is at
the head.
The Duke interests have already
begun the construction Of interurban
lines in North and Sorth Carolina,
which will ultimately be extended on
to Washington, d. C. From Wash
ington interurban lines have already
been constructed practically through
to Boston, Mass.
Another five years, 1t Is said, will
see the completion, therefore, of in
terurban electric lines extending all
the way from Georgia to New Eng
land, SO that it will be possible to
make the ertire trip by trolley.
When announcement was first
made that the new Georgia Railway
and Power Co. had applied for a
charter with a capital stock Of $27,-
10000 there was belief in some
quarters that a rival concern to the
Georgia Railway and Electric Co.
was about to come into existence; !;
but it now seems that the former has
planned to absorb not only the latter,
but all OF the electrical development
in the northern section Of the State,
including the $l0.000,000 Georgia
Power Co., which has just begun the
development OF Tallulah Falls as a
source Of electric power.
The interests back Of the new COM
PAM are practically the same as
those which organized the Georgia
Power Co. for the development of a
number OF water-powers in North
Georgia, including Tallulah Falls, the
Etowah river, the Chattahoochee,
near Gainesville, and the same river
in Heard county, near the Alabama
line. 1t was stated in former an
nouncements that this company pro-
posed to develop a maximum of an
proximately 100000 horsepower
from these various sources.
1t was this company's work at Tai
lulah Falls which brought on a con-
test before the Legislature and a
! general movement to prevent the de-

TO BETTER COTTON CONDITIONS
Farmers, Bankers, Merchants, Busi-
ness Men Attend Big Meeting.

Columbia, Sept. 2S.-Resolution
commencing the Montgomery Cotton
Congress, in It's efforts to bring to its
proper level the prevailing price Of
cotton and the adoption Of other res
olutions meeting with the views Of
those present, marked the conference
of growers, bankers and business
men at the meeting held here this al
ternoon and evening. With the elec-
tion Of Commissioner Watson as per-
manent president; J. Whitner Reid,
secretary, and w. G.. Brown, of New
berry, assistant secretary, the cotton
convention commenced this afternoon
a determined meeting, actuated by
the business-like purpose of market
ing the cotton crop in a manner
which will insure a reasonable profit
to the producing farmers.
The meeting held until midnight,
and various resolutions were adopted
looking toward the profitable market
ing of the crop. Talks were made
by number Of business men from
various parts Of the State, among
them being Senator f. d. Smith and
President e. w. Dabbs, Of the State
Farmers Union.
Against Exchanges.
The "iniquitous" cotton exchanges
were repeatedly attacked on the floor
Of the House Of Representatives and
two resolutions of procedure were
reported by tho committee, formed
by one member from each Congress
sional district and appointed by Com
missioner of Agriculture e. J. Wat
son. w. p. Pollock favored a peti-
ton to Congress, asking that the use
or Interstate means Of cOmmunica-
tions be denied the exchanges, but
this meeting with objection on the
ground Of possible legal resistance,
substitute motion was adopted af-
ter the debate.
An agreement brought about was
that Congress be memorialized to
regulate dealing in cotton BY the ex-
changes so that real cotton will be
the basis Of all contracts and actual
delivery be had.
Resolutions Reported.
When the committee made report
at the night session, with one excep-
ton, all rejected resolutions went by
without debate. The exception was
the suggestion Of j. r. Fairey that
a man be designated in each town
shin to renort on the number of bales

w. NJ. .MULKEY FOUND DEAD.
COIOner's Verdict Death from Acute
Alcoholisnl---Was Bankrupt.
(Atlanta Journal, Sept. 2S.)


William NJ. Mulkey, contractor, A
years Of age, was found lying dead
on a couch in his office, GIG Austell
building, by a negro janitor early
Wednesday morning. He was under
Federal indictment and, had he lived
would have faced jury Friday on
the charge Of having held back funds
he was supposed to have repotred in
bankruptcy case. The coroner's
jury returned the verdict that Mr..
Mulkey had come to his death from
acute alcoholism.
On August Ia Mr.. Mulkey and his
associate in business, l.. c. Townsend,
filed voluntary petition in bank
ruptcy in the sum of about $4,000.
Soon after this he and Mr.. Town
send went to New York on a pleas
ure trip. 1t Is said that in New York
Mr.. Mulkey was arrested on a mis-
demeanor charge.
1t is alleged that since July II Mr..
Mulkey had spent $4,000, which has
not been accounted for by his fam
lily or friends. On July II, it is
claimed by prosecuting attorneys, he
drew $6,500 from the account of
Mulkey & Townsend in the Fourth
National Bank, and had never ac-
counted to the trustee in bankruptcy
for this sum-
Alleged failure to account for this
caused his arrest and indictment
some weeks ago. At the time Of his
death he was under bond Of $2,500.
1t is also said that at later dates
Mr. Mulkey drew from his personal
account in the Third National Bank
the sums OF $4,500 and $4,000. 1t
was stated by members OF his family
that they had received practically
none Of this and that they had no
idea in what manner the money had
been spent.
For about three weeks Mr.. Mulkey
had remained away from his home,
one Of his sons saying that he would
not come home because Of shame at
tending his arrest.
Mr.. Townsend, his partner, stated
that he had not seen Mr.. Mulkey
since Thursday, and had no idea
where he had spent the week. He
stated that Mr.. Mulkey had been
drinking heavily, but that he had
been optimistic.

Mr.. Mulkey's Office late Tuesday af-

the Objectionable feature which seem
ed to be the section relating to the

seemed to strike the convention as
happy and practical ono.
Later, Senator E. D. Smith advo-
Gated the extension OF the operation
OF the resolution so as to place upon
the secretary OF the Farmers Union
the duty of communicating with sec
retarics Of other unions. Both the

thews; r. B. Bieser, Sumter, and
u. B. Stackhouse. Their words ere
ated spirit Of cooperation. Mer-
chants present at The night meeting
stated that they had never pressed
their creditors into selling cotton at
a cheaper price.
The convention consumed about
six hours. There were more than a
score Of speakers who dwclt upon
subjects as they arose for debate
The attendance was sufficient to fiji
the hall Of the House OF Representa-
tivcs, and the interest at all times
was unabated. Commissioner Wat
son announced before adjournment
that he planned to have campaign
for the education Of cotton growers,
and invited Senator Smith and Scna-
tor John Sharp Williams, Of Missis-
sippi, to take part, to tell the grow
erS the truth about the marketing
OF the staple and remedy for the
evils that result in the lowering OF
the price below normal

The following resolution was also
adopted at the night session Of the
convention:
Resolved, That the County Farm
crs' Union OF the different counties
OF the State be requested to appoint
committee consisting OF not less
than three men in each township in
each county to canvass the farmers
OF their county and ascertain how
many bales Of cotton they will pledge
themselves to hold for the agreed
minimum price unless otherwise in
structcd by the state Farmers Union
TO sell. That the secretary Of the
County Unions be requested to for
ward reports from these committees
to the State secretary and that the
secretary and president Of the State
Farmers Union be requested to CO.

SANTO DOMINGO PRESIDENT IS
 MURDERED
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
 SANTO DOMINGO, Nov. 20. - President CaeOres was set upon by a band of men and killed while riding in a coach on a public road here to- day. The country is quiet with noth- ing to indicate a revolutionary move ment.
 Caeares, was taken to the Ameri- can legation by friends where he died an hour later. The assassins, who are known, escaped to San Cris- tobal. It was recalled that Caeares himself was the slayer of the old dictator here in 1899 and it was known by his friends that the latter always cherished the desire for the death of the slayer. It is feared whatever may be the cause of to- days assassination, that serious com plieations may arise in a few days.
