Raleigh, N. C., July 15.—There are
at least eight aspirants for the Demo

year, and four of these have been
actively at work for several months to
secure it.
One of the men while not an avowed
aspirant, yet a very strong man, is M.

bench. There is now a movement to
get Judge Justice to take the nomina
tion for the supreme court.
It is known that Judge George H

School Fund Division Is Again Votoad
by House.
Atlanta, July 16.—The house of rep-

to enact any legislation looking to the
division of the elate school fund be
tween the races in proportion to the
amount of taxes paid by each.
The question was thoroughly threeh-
ed over again yesterday, and at the
conclusion of the debate the house ad
ministered defeat to a measure which
proposed to amend the constitution
in this respect by a vote of ?9 to 64.
The bill proposing a constitutional
amendment would have required a two-

A resolution made its appearance in

matter should be heard from In the
legislature.
Mr. Glenn, of Whitfield, introduced
the resolution yesterday by request.
It provides for the appointment of a
joint committee of four from the house
and three from the senate to investi
gate the whole matter, but more ape-
ciflcally the recent case in south Geor

It was charged that this woman was
held in a state of peonage or involun

in Lowndes county, and was made to
marry there in spite of the fact that
she already had a husband.
It is also charged that negroea have
