it convenes June 22. ' ~
Theer will be a fight, however, for
the ofiice of speaker pro tem, as Carl
Vinson,, of Baldwin, and M. C. Tarver,
of Whi^eld, have both formally an
nounced.
John M. Slaton will be re-elected
president of the senate without oppo

is candidate for president pro tem.
At Least 100,000 Americans Are in
the English Caprtai to Witness the
Coronation—60,000 Sotdlen Along
Route.
A London dispatch says: The ar-
riral of the king and queen at Buck-
ingha.m palace really was the begin-
uing of the great series of pageants
which is to marl^ the coronation of
George and Mary, which will culmi
nate with the formal crowning at
Westminster Abbey Thursday, in the
presence of what will be perhapfe the
most brilliant assemblage in the his
tory of the country.
The route of the royal progress
from Buckinghain palace to West
minster Abbey is literally one mass
of stands and scaffolding. In the
seven miles to be traversed there are
not less than 1,400 stands, with a seat
ing capacity of 750,000. As many
more people will View the procession
from the sidewalks and the windows
along the route will accommodate a
half-million more, so that fully 2,000,-
000 people will see their majesties
£nd t!i(?ir entourage.
60,COO Soidlers Along Route.
Tn addition to the whole London
roiif'Q force, the route will be lined
by GO,COO soldiers under the command
cf Fioid Marshal Lord Kitchener.
In the cathedral there will be 6,000
■who will actually see the coronation
cf the king and queen. Of these forty
are members of the royal family, 250
foreign rulers and representatives of
foreign states, 1,450 peers and peer
esses, 670 members/of parliament, 300
members of the diplomatic corps,
privy councillors, bishops and judges,
COO ofRcial colonial representatives
and 730 officers of the army and navy,
king’s councillors and member^ of the
royal household.
London is jammed almost to * the
limit, and t^iousands are pouring into
the city every hour. It is estimated
that there are not less than 100,000
Americans here, and this number is
likely to be largely increased before
the coronation. London shopkeepers
are booking for something like $30,-
000,000 American dollars to be left
here by these visitors.

^
$845,140 is Paid to Special Attorneys

HOLDER FOR SPEAKER.
With BurweM of Hancock Out of Race
No Contest Probable in House.
The retirement of William H. Bur-
^vell, of Hancock county, irom the race
for the speakership of the Georgia
house of representatives, leaves the
field practically open to John N. Hold
er. of Jackson county, former speaker,
'^'ho will probably be elected unani-
niously.
However, one other name haff been
seriously mentioned in connection with
Ip7 ««ice—that of H. W. Hopkins, of
“umas, but there has been no formal
5^'inoiiucement of his candidacy, and it
bj- no means sure his name will be
presented at all.
Judge Holder’s friends declare that
le has been pledged mote than enough
_ otes to assure his election by a large
circumstances. So
likelihood seems that the organiza-
oi?r effected with-

SHE WORE HAREM SKIRT.
Lover Objected and Deliberately
Killed His f^iancee.
A lover’s objection to his sweet
heart wearing a harem skirt was re
sponsible for the death of Mile. Vas-
silli Monroi, a beautiful and wealthy
girl in Bucharest. Her fiance, M.
Ignai Yovanesco, had often expressed
strong views on eccentric fashions,
and was particularly bitter in de
nouncing harem skirts. Out of mere
waywardness, Mile. Monroi deter
mined to get a harem skirt, and on
the first day she wore it she met her
lover.
Without saying a word, Yovanesco
took out a revolver and fired at his
sweetheart, killing her at once by a
shot in the head. When arrested, he
stated that he did not regret his act
and wished to be sentenced to death
as quickly as possible. “I could never
jnarry a woman who deliberately op
poses my will,” he sai^ “and life with
out her would have been quite impos
sible.”
PATERSON NAMED.
Griffin Man for Prison Board.
Judge Thomas E. Patterson, of Grif
fin, Ga., will succeed General Clement
A. Evans as a member of the Georgia
prison commission when the latter re
signs and takes the position of adju
tant general.
This is not political rumor, but the
fact straight from the of^e of Gov
ernor-elect Hoke Smith, who an
nounced it Monday morning and re
quested that it be published, to cause
a stop to rumor and speculation as tx)
who the appointee ..would be.
Three charred volumes of the revo
lutionary records of South Carolina
which escaped the capitol fire -at Al
bany,^ N. Y., were received at Colum
bia, S. C., by the South Carolioa His
torical commission. The records, which
comprise three volumes of the minutes
ofThe commission in charge of the na
vy of South Carolina during the revo
lution, were returned under a special
act of the-New York legislature.
The New York Central lines have len-
tered into a traffic agreement with the
Louiaville ailtt) ./v.railCQ&d.
which practically gives the former a
lakes-to-the-gulf line, according to an
article in the Inter-OcJean, says a Chi
cago dispatch. The article says :
With the announcement made last
night by ofltcials of the Chicago, In
diana and Southern railroad that on
July 18, that road would run its first
train from Chicago into Evansville,
Ind., the first step of what may prove
to be a great railroad war was taken.
With the bringing to a successful con
summation the plans o^ the fotmer
,owner and builder of the^ road, John
R. Walsh, the Chicago banker now in
the federal prison at Leavenworth,
Kan., the hands of two of the great
railroad powers, the Vanderbilts and
the Harriman interests, were shown
already engaged in a struggle to get
control of the gulf traffic which will re
sult from the opfening of the Panama
canal.
For, with the opening of the old
Walsh railroad to the Ohio river by
the Vanderbilt interests which control
it through their New. York Central
lines, a traffic agreement has been En
tered into with the Louisville apd
Nashville railroad which iprgtctically
gives the New York Central line a Chi-
cago-to-tl^e-gulf line and which brings
the first actual competition the Harri
man Great Lakes-to-the-Gulf line, the
Illinois Central, li^is ever experienced.”
gia, volea**ai^inst”\ne original re'solu-
tion and later voted against it when
the Bristow amendment had been tack
ed onto it.
Eight of the 24 negative votes were
cast by Democrats and the balance by
Republicans.
The resolution will have to go back
to' the house for concurrence in the
senate amendment, and must then be
ratified by three-fourths of the states
before it becomes effective as a part of
the constitution.' (
VOTE ON RECIPROCITY.
NEGRO LYNCHED BY MOB.
The Victim Was Accused of Attempt
to Kill Two White Men.
William Bradford a negro, accused
of an attempt to kill J. F. and J. A.
May, farmers, was hanged by a mob
near the town of Chunky, Miss., ac
cording to advices which reached
Meridian.
Bradford was en route to jail, in the
custody 'of several officers, when the
lynching party, composed of about
fifty men, made its appearance and,
after overpowering the guard, put tjie
negro to death.
FAVOITDIRECT ELECTIONS.
Borah Resolution Passes Senate by
Vote of 64 to 24.
A Washington, D. C., dispatch says:
By a vote of 64 to 24, the senate pass
ed the Borah resolution proposing a
change in the Federal constitution so
as to provide for a direct election of
United States senators. All tJie South
ern Democrats, with the exception of
Senator Clarke, of '.Arkansas, voted
against the adoption of the Bristow
amendment, which is almost identical
with the Sutherland amendment intro
duced last year, and which proposed
to lodge in congress the power, to con
trol the time, places and manner of
electing senators.
The Bristow, amendment was finally
adopted, however. Following a dead
lock, when the vote stood 44 and 44,
Vice-President Sherman cast ^s vote
for the amendment.
SenatQts Bacon and Terrell, of Gegr-
Penrose Predicts That Bill Will Be
Passed Without Further Change.
A Washington dispatch says: Chair
man Penrose, of the senate finance
committee, in conference with Presi
dent Taft, Tuesday confirmed the re
port that 60 senators are expected to
vote for Canadian gegi|j^O(^Y _and jje-
dicted that within ^two weeks"*a date
for a vote would be agreed upon. He
declared the bill would be passed with
out amendment.
“The probabilities are that the wool
bill will reach the senate in a few
days,” said Senator Penrose, “and the
finance committee will be called to
gether for the purpose of considering
the wool bill and free list bill. The
tariff board has been hard at work in
vestigating the wool schedule and will
be ready to report next December, so
it is not reasonable to expect that the
Republican majority in the senate will
take up tl’e wool bill until the report
is received.
“The free list bill opens up a wide
range of tariff discussion and the
finance committee is in receipt of nu
merous requests fr6m all over the
country, asking for hearings. As no
hearings on the bill were given by the
house committee, it is only reasonable
that opportunity should be permitted
by the senate.”
WILL OPEN TIMBER LAND.
Ljne .Will Extend Through Beautiful
Section of the Alleghany Mountains.
One of the richest, as well as the
most beautiful sections in the entire
south, will be opened up by the Elkin
and Allegheny railroad, which will
build a line through the mountains at
an early date. At present 12 miles of
the road is graded, from Elkin, N. C.,
t othe foot of the mountains, and it is
proposed to extend the road beyond
the Blue Ridge mountains, through
Allegheny and Ashe counties, N. C.,
and on into Virginia or Tennessee and
connect with some road, thus giving a
through line from north to scmth.
This line will traverse a section rich
in mineral and timber wealth—a sec
tion hertofore almost isolated because
of lack of railways. Some of the finest
stretches of virgin,timber lands to be
found i nthe United States will be
traversed and development on a gigan
tic scale will follow the construction of
this line.
John A. Mills, president of the Ra
leigh and Southport Railroad company,
and I associates have completed ar
rangements whereby,they will finance
the Elkin and Allegheny road, and ac
tive work will be pushed on a large
sc^e.
The" North German-Lloyd liner Ber
lin, which reached New York from
Mediterranean ports, reported at
quarantine that a steerage passenger
was taken ill with cholera four days
after leaving Naples and died 30 hours
later. This is the first cholera case
reported dn an incoming stean^hip for
many months.
Because he had no confidence in
banking institutions, Myer Daniels, of
Hoosick Falla^ N. Y., Renns&laer qpun-
ty, is mourning the loss of $4,700 in
greenback^ which were burned when
his house was destroyed by fire. He
