TERRELL REFUSES TORETA|N HIS SEAT Smith Still Declines to Ac-
 cept Resignation WARM CARD IS ISSUED Senatorial Appointee Ad Interim Says Smith Should Resign if
 He Wants to Remain the
 State Executive

Atlanta, July 15.-"My resignation Is with you and it Is irrevocable. You nor I can place the responsibility of your conduct. The people will do that."-Sen- ator J NJ. Terrell.
 "I have not accepted your resignation and shall retain 1t unaeeepted that you may have full time to realize the inn portance of your continuing the pair which kills a republican vote Tn the United States Senate" ."-Hoke Smith.
 The above statements sum up the sit- uation tonight in the controversy between Senator Terrell and Gov Hoke Smith, who has just been elected United States senator to succeed MT. Terrell, who was the ad interim appointee, following the death of Senator A. S. Clay about nine months ago.
 Following the governors statement of last night, In which he declined to &C., cept the resignation of MT. Terrell, the latter replied late today in one of the warmest political cards ever issued in a political contest In Georgia.
 In his letter MT. Terrell declares that 1t would be presumptuous for him to re- turn to Washington as senator after Gov ernor Smith had been elected to that po- sition by the legislature. He asserts that under no consideration would he continue to discharge the duties of that office. If it Is imperative that Governor Smith re- main in Georgia as governor MT. Ter rell says, there is a way in which he can accomplish that desire and still pro- vide for the full representation of the state In the United States Senate. ''The general assembly can elect an- other senator at once," he declares.
 If you feel that you must stay here, notify the general assembly that you will not accept the senatorship to which you have been elected by it under the assump- ton that you would go to Washington at once. Then let the general assembly fill this vacancy, which it can do by Tuesday next.
 If the senator elected wishes to do so, he may relinauish the discharge of duties at your will, as you wish me to do and you may then give up the gov- ernorship after the adjournment of the present session of the legislature"

RACE 0F THOUSAND MILES WILL bE MADE: Champion Aviators of World Will Compete in Eng
 fish Contest

London, July 15.-England Is to wit ness this month one of the most am bilious attempts at long distance aeroplaning ever seen. A circuit of the island over course of 1010 miles will be made for a prize of s5o,0o0, offered by the Daily Mail.
 The chief point of interest to Amer jeans will be the appearance of Charles T. Weymann, who as the representa- tive of the United States. won the inter- national aviation cup at Eastchurch July 1. He is the only American en- trant, but is expected to make a nota- ble showing against the best flying men of Europe who will compete. The latter include Beaumont, winner of the recent European circuit competition; Vedrines, who finished first in the Paris to- Madrid race and Valentine, the Englishman, who competed In the Flu ropean circuit.
 Whether any of the competitors will complete the race is doubtful, as the conditions. in the opinion of experts, are almost impossible of fulfillment. More depends upon the stability of the maCnlneS than ildS bceli icduiicu m ohS previous race. The flying men must do the circuit of over 1000 miles practi- eally with their machines intact.
 The most important parts of each ma chine are to be marked and these parts must be kept together throughout the course.
 The few men who finished in the Flu ropean circuit changed their aeroplanes at some stage of the journey or made substitutes of the most important parts so that they returned to France with almost entirely new machines.

NEW YORK RESIDENT DIES OF THE CHOLERA Six Other Cases at Quaran- tine-TWO of Them
 Serious

New York, July 15.-The death today of Patrick Cushing a resident Amer lean and former watchman at Hoffman Island quarantine station, from AsiatiO cholera, has aroused some apprehen- sion in New York of the spread of the scourge beyond the Limitations of quar- antine. Vigorous steps were taken to- day to stamp out any possible sources of infection, though Health Officer Doty says there Is no reason for alarm. A strict quarantine has been estab- lished at the home of Cushing's widow and four children. He died at the Swinburne Island hospital.
 In the opinion of pr. Doty, Cushing contracted the disease from a so- called cholera carrier, as there has been no recognized case of cholera on Hoffman Island for IT years prior to Cushing's leaving there.
 While Cushing's death reveals tho first native case of cholera in the pres- ent epidemic, three deaths from the dis case have occurred on Swinburne island In the last three days. According to pr, Doty there are six other cases ex- isting at Quarantine. Two are se- rious.
 Three of the six were brought In by the steamer Perugia last night, which arrived from Naples. The Perugia still is at Quarantine. The other three were among passengers and crew of the Moltke, which arrived from Naples on July 5. There are now under ob- servation at Quantine 205 steerage pas- sengers and 43 of the crew of the Moltke.
 This tally does not agree, however with tkat of Charles Dushkind, coun- sel for immigrants, who recently made charges against Dr. Doty that are be- ing investigated by a special commis- sion. Dr. Dushkind attempted at the inquiry today to prove by Charles Leavitt, a carpenter at Hoffman Island, that there are 10 new cases there. Leavitt said he had heard such re- port but did not know how authentis 1t was. Leavitt declared on the stand, however, that he had disregarded the cholera quarantine and came last night to his home on the East side here, wearing his working clothes. which had not been fumigated.

"CIJM SHOE" MEN
 IN MONTGOMERY

Montgomery, July 15.-(Special.)-It is learned in Montgomery that four gum shoe" men or detectives of the United States government are in Montgomery for the purpose of probing into the work ings of several of the federal offices To- cated here. Little can be learned con corning the direct plans of the investi- gators, but from what can be gathered few dispositions have already been taken. One of these dispositions, tt is said, was given by a well known lawyer of the city.
 For several months one 'gum-shoe" man has been known to be in the city, and it Is believed that the others are here at his request.
 It is ventured by some that the in- vestigations which are being made are general. and that they are progressing throughout the city.

Wood, secretary of the con- vention, will arrive in Greenville on Mon day morning, in order to get into touch with the members as they arrive

 The law provides that raw" hair shall come in free and puts duty of 20 per cent upon drawn" hair. Several of the best-known hair dressers have raised technical debate over when is hair raw and when is 1t drawn?"
