WANTTHEPAY CUTDOWN
THE ALLIANCE AFTER TIE BET.
TERMENT COMMISSION.

Two Branches Pass Resolutions Ask
ing the Legislature to Annul the
Governors Power to Fix the Com
MISSIONS Compensation, and to
Make the Salary of Its Members So
a Day-Col. MERGERS Views Of the
Alliances Action.
The alliance is after the state road better
ment commission. One branch of the Full
ton county alliance has passed resolutions
asking the legislature to rescind its action
relative to the formation Of the board, and
the HARRISON county alliance has also passed
resolutions requesting the legislature to
aunul the governors power to fix the COM
pensation, and 20 make the salary of the
members Of the commission 81 per day.
Although the commission has done a
good deal of work in the matter left to its
consideration there is no money to pay il.
The contingent fund of something like
gil, 900 has been used to pay the taxes due
on the road to the state Of Tennessee. This
means that the members Of the betterment
commission will have TO wait until the
legislature acts on the matter at its summer
session.
Col. George A. Mercer of this city is a
member of the commission. He does not
think any attention will be paid by the leg
stature to the alliance resolutions, as it is
bound in honor 70 recognize the action Of
the former session, which states specifically
that the governor shall grant the commits
sion such compensation as he may deem in
his discretion to be just. Col. Mercer
said yesterday that the work
of the commission has greatly
interfered with his private business, and
will continue to interfere with it. In view
Of these circumstances for the legislature to
fix salary of but So per day, as the Haral-
son county alliance desires. is SO remote
possibility as TO be worthy of no considera-
ton.
Col Mercer said he is not at liberty to
speak Of the action Of the commission. He
will go up to Atlanta again next week to
attend a meeting Of the board.

Delegates to the Episcopal diocesan con-

Hugh Miller Thompson Of Mississippi is ex>

he preached Sunday. He will be the guest
Of Col. W. w. Gordon.
The standing committee will meet at s
o'clock tonight at the De Soto, which will
be the committees headquarters during the
convention, to arrange for the business OF
the meeting.
The convention will meet in Christ
church tomorrow morning at II o'clock.
The clergy and lay delegates together will
probably number about l00 as the interest
in the eleotioa of a bishop will doubtless
have the effect of causing the fullest at
tendance of delegates in many years. The
attendance outside of the delegates will also
be very large for the same reason.
All the sessions will be open to the public.
except, perhaps, that at which the bishor
is elected, which is oustomarily secret
but which will probably be public this
time,
The opening service tomorrow morning
will be the full morning service and holy
communion with q sermon commemorative
of Bishop Beekwith by Bishop Thompson.
After this service the standing commit
tees will be called to order by the presi-
dent, Rev. VIM. Q. Hunter of Columbus,
and permanent officers elected and COM
mittees appointed.
The afternoon session will be devoted to
the discussion Of missionary work.
The election of bishop will not take
place until the second or third day Of the
convention. OF the three nalues mentioned
for the place of bishop, Chancellor Gailor Of
Tennessee, Rev. Chauncey G. Williams OF
Augusta, and Bishop j. Fl. d. Wingfield OF
California, it is impossible to say who is
the favorite. All of them have strong
friends in the convention, but it is believed
that no one of them has a majority of the
memters.
