Two Tragedies Occur
Near Cairo, Ga.

The morning papers yesterday
gave a most grewsome account
of how a negro entered the home
of a white farmer near Cairo Ga.
and after fatally wounding the
man and his wife with an axe,
and inficting serious injury to
their five children, escaped. The
trouble grew out of a row the
white man had with the negro
over a watermelon patch.
AS a sequel to this tragedy,
this mornings papers tell Of how
two mobs set out in different d.
rections in pursuit of him, and
later through mistake one set OF
pursuers opened fire on the other
killing one of the men and injur-
ing several others.
The negro has been captured

Peru Newspaper Man
Visits Georgia Capital

Atlanta, August John V.
Noel, the American newspa-
per man and traveller, who has
been identified with the growth
of modern business interests IN
Peru during the past five years,
was a visitor at the Georgia cap
itol yesterday, and conferred
with several of the state house
officials.
Mr.. Noel was veIy much inter-
ested in economic and agricul-
tural conditions in this state, and
exp assed amazement at the won
derful growth of Atlanta during
the past decade.
Shortly after arriving in Allan
ia he received cablegrams from
the office of his newspaper at
Lima. Peru, declaring that the
startling rumors of insurrection
which came over the wires the day
before were absolutely unfounded
1t had been reported from Wash
inpton that : mob surrounded
home of the Peruvian president
at Lima and took possession OF
the senate chamber.
The dispatches to Mr.. Noel in
dictate that the whole rumor orig
mated simply in the fact that
telegraphic communication be-
tween Lima and the outside
world via Santiago, had been in
terrupted for a few hours day
before yesterday.
Mr.. Noel is the editor and pub
Usher of the monthly magazine.
''Peru Today" and of the West

of interesting information about

cultural and mining develop
ments in his adopted country.

G. A. R. Encampment
Preparations Satisfactory

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug: 2, -
Preparations for the entertain
ment of the 47th National En-
campment in September are going
ahead at satisfactory speed.
Nearly all of the committee have
pushed their work to a point
where it may be said that all
plans will be carried through
without so much as a serious
hitch. The finance committee,
which has been at work securing
funds necessary to finance the
big under taking, reports that the
money is in hand or in sight; that
there will be no trouble over pay
ment of the bills of the National
association,
The committee on assignments
to homes has met with success
in the matter of securing lodging
for a very large crowd of visitors
during the encampment. The
people of Chattanooga are open
ing their homes to veterans and
visitors with the same hospitality
that marked their action when
confederate survivors met in an
nual reunion here in May. The
same rates that prevailed during
the confederate reunion are in
all instances reasonable. There
will be no effort to increase rates
for lodging or meals anywhere
in the city In other words, the
regular rates for best houses of
Chattanooga have opened their
doors to entertain veterans and
visitors alike at rates that will
not be objected to by any.

Mass Meeting Tonight Court House, 8 o'clock
Black Root Conquered

MIR. E. X. Farmer has demon
strated to his entire satisfaction
that the State Agricultural College
has found the remedy for Black
root. Part of field on his planta-
ton had been thoroughly infected
with rot OF wilt or blackroot, and
he decided to try the virtue OF the
resistent cotton, bred at the State
Agricultural Experiment station.
IL rows, about J mile long were
planted this year with seed from
the State. On the entire plot so
planted a perfect stand of cotton,
full of fruit, bears evidence of the
value of scientific methods and
seed selection. Mr.. Farmers en-
tire crop is above the average in
this section, and numbers Of his
acres will produce more than bale
of cotton per acre. Mr.. Farmer
contemplate to experiment with
Alfalfa this Fall, ard will give the
culture of this valuable forage q
fair test. If successfully grown
in this section, it will add to the
value OF every farm in the county.

Extra Session Now
Seems Probable

Atlanta, August 2,-lf Cover
nor Slaton calls an extra session
of the legislature this year, 1t
will be Immediately after the
regular session adjourns the mid
die of this month-and If the
predictions of state house officials
are true there is going to be an
extra session unless this financial
problem is worked out within the
next two weeks.
Tax equalization, income tax.
inheritance tax, extra levy and
all those things are details which
may be arranged in one way and
another. The one thing that
is vital in the estimation of the
governor, is to have the approprla-
lions and the prospective income
of the state about equal.
Either raise more money or
spend less, is the thing we will
insist on not only to the end of
the present legislature, but which
will be put before them at a
special session if necessary.
The question of issuing new
bonds to retire part of the states
bonded Indebtedness is one that
must also be figured on either
within the next fourteen days
or at an extra session.

So Reports the Curran AIderman-
 ic Committee After Care NJ. sfuL Investigation

New York. MaEch lo.--Thc Curran Investigating cnnmitte" rendered a preliminary report of the result of their work probing the conditions of the police de- parImenl of this city.
 The report that the departm has no proper executive head of experience: that the many changes of police commissioners and fhel short time they serve makes it impossible to maintain discipline and the new head of the force spends his time learn ing about the force, and then af- ter a few years of experience he is succeeded by another novice.
 The investigation was caused by the death of Gambler Rosen- thai, who was shot for threaten ing to expose the graft he was compelled to pay the department. Since which time many men on the force have been convicted of murder. graft and robbery. Witt nesses appeared before the com- mittae claiming that the police and the crooks of the city work ed together on a percentage ba- sis. Several captains and many patrolmen have pleaded guilty of collecting money for the privil- ege of violating the law. Two in spectOrs are under indictment and a deputy commissioner is under suspicion.
