FROM SENTENCE
Man Who Shot BIackstock Gets
29 Days-Is Locked Up in
Default of Bonds.

Hub" Talley, who shot George w.
Blackstock during a row in Peters
Street several weeks ago, has filed no.
tice Of appeal Nrom the sentence of
20 days in the city stockade imposed
on him Wednesday afternoon by
Judge Broyles, on a charge of dis
charging firearms in the city limits.
A State case also was brought
against Talley before Judge Broyles
in which Talley was held to the high
er court on $4,000 bond on charges Of
assault with intent to murder and car
rying concealed weapons. Tatey's
appeal bond was fixed at $500, in de-
fault of which he is a prisoner at
police headquarters.
Two negro women who testified in
Talley's behalf that BIackstock had
an open knife in his hand when Tai
ley shot him were held for the Grand
Jury on perjury charges Several
white men testified Blackstock had no
weapon when the fight occurred.
In an effort to prevent Judge Broyles
from binding him over Talley's at
torney, William NJ. Smith, told the
court the prisoner had waived exam
nation before Justice Powers and
had been held for the Grand Jury in
$500 bond. Judge Broyles could find
no record that Talley had appeared
before Justice Powers.
Attorney c. G. Battle represented
Blackstock in the Police Court trial.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON. June 26.-Announcement
that King George, Queen Mary and
President Poincare of France would
attend the International Horse Show
at Olympia to-day brought out the
biggest crowd since the show began.
Among the spectators were many
Americans and other foreign tourists.
The royal box was decorated with
intertwined British and French col
ors. Much comment was aroused by
Queen Marys edict that women in
the show should not ride astride while
she is present. The Queen, the fore
most champion of feminine modesty
since Queen Victoria, recently issued
the same order to her daughter, Prin-
cess Mary.
Miss Ruth Boyd, of New York, who
has a number of horses entered in
the show, threatened to withdraw be-
cause Of the Queens edict, saying she
could not use a side saddle, having
been used to riding astride all her
life.

FREE SUGAR AND
WOOL FIRST IN
TARIFF BILL
Senate Caucus Ratifes Wilson's
POIicy-FOodstuf Clause
Effective in 1916.

WASHINGTON. June 26.-Free
sugar in 1916 and free raw wool have
been approved by the Democratic
caucus OF the Senate, after a two
days fight, and are established in
the new tariff bill, The sugar sched-
ule, practically as it passed the
House, was approved by a vote of 40
to 6. Free raw wool swept the Sen
ate caucus by a vote Of Al to s.
This ratification OF President WILL
sons tariff policy came after a long
series OF developments since the tar
if bill passed the House IN which the
President had an active participation
When the fight was getting hot the
President declared any suggestion Of
compromise on the wool and sugar
schedule ideas was absolutely out Of
the question.
Then he stirred administration
leaders to action when he made his
"insidious lobby" charge, which has
brought results regarded as favorable
to the tariff bill.
The six Democratic Senator's who
voted against free sugar on the final
vote approving the schedule were
Hitchcock. Nebraska; Newlands, Ne
vada; Ransdell and Thornton, Louis
lana; Shafroth, Colorado; Walsh,
Montana.
The six who opposed free raw wool
were Chamberlain of oregon, New
lands. Nevada; Ransdell and Thorn
ton, Louisiana; Shafroth and Walsh.
No attempt was made to bind
members to the action Of the caucus.
The uuegtiO will coma I'm when the
entire bill has been passed upon.

for two months. Then he was dis
covered by the officers and sent to
the State farm at Milledgeville. His
last words to his family as he was
taken from his home were curses on
them for having turned him up" or
betrayed him to the law. Whether
they did or not was never proven.
From the Milledgeville institution
Mccullough was sent to Join the
Monroe County changing. He has
now served is months Of his 1S-year
term.
Mccullough Is an extremist in all
things. Physically he is a powerful
man; mentally he is without moral
sense, and while he is the most deS-
perate character In the camp and the
only man prisoner over whom a
guard keeps watch day and night,
still he is the best worker Of them all
In the camp Mccullough remains
aloof from his fellow prisoners. He
suffers from melancholia a great deal
and has nursed his hatred against
his family until the flame has blazed
into almost a mania.
Only Nature softens Him.
Only the sight Of some pet or cap
tured animal about the camp
quiets him. Then his nature changes
instantly, and from the cursing half
maniac the powerful man becomes a
child, and his hatred is drowned in
his love for the things of nature.
Only recently did the convict learn
of his malady, that he was AFFLICTED
with heart disease. When informed
of this he was struck with terror, not
Of death, but the probable disposal of
his body He had visions OF his still
form surrounded by his family-the
ones he hated. Then 1t was that he
wrote out the advertisement and sent
it to The Georgian for publication

"Workingman," IncIosing $40,
Begs That Deputy's Family May

1T is a blot on the fair name Of
Atlanta that the widow and six chill

There have been few subscriptions
to the Yancey fund this week. AL
though but barely more than enough

feel they have done sufficient for the
family of their servant who met his
death doing his duty.
Compared with the prosperity Of
the Gate City, the wants Of the, Yam

mean everything that the future holds
for the widow and her fatherless chill

Abandons "PoIite Words" in De-

Mayor James @. Woodward Thurs

persons who persist in attributing his
opposition to the crematory contract
to desire to help the Georgia Rail
way and Power Company.
Polite and parliamentary denials Of
the charge that he opposes the crema-
tory because it embraces in its plans

avowals Of any connection with the

anonymous charges of Interior mo-

HATRED Of OWN FAMILY

FORSYTH, GA, June 26.-Hatred
Of his own family has prompted

statement that he is suffering from
heart disease and has not long to live.
The money which his body would

convict. His one real desire is that
death shall not seal the breach which
he has cherished and broadened In
life between himself and his family
Therefore, by disposal of his body to
