GEORGIA AND THE SP0ILS
THE FIGRT For THE MAR6RALsHIP
STILL LIVELY.

Sam Dunlap OF Gaine svllle a New
Entry in the Race-Wuliam Redd,
Jr., to Be the New Postmaster at
Columbus-Hosr Armed With Pro
tests Against Isadore Zacharias.
WASHINGTON, April S.-The Senate met
to-day. listened to prayers, resolved itself
into an executive session, confirmed a few
appointments and adjourned all within a
half hour. 1t appears to be the beginning
Of the end, which may occur early next
week. Indeed it is stated that some senator
will offer motion on next Monday to
notify the President that the body awaits
his pleasure as to a day for adjournment.
Hon. John I. Hall of Georgia was con-
frmed in short order as Assistant Attorney
General, assigned to interior department
work. This nomination is one Of the most
popular the President has made and gives
general satisfaction to Judge Hall friends
Mr.. Hall is expected to arrive In Washing
ton tonight and will doubtless qualify end
assume his Office on Monday.
THE MARsHKLsHIP.
The fight for the marshalship of the North
Georgia district is still lively. Col. Renfroe
and his able lieutenant, MIR. Flynt of Grif-
fn, have returned TO Georgia, but their
friends scoR at the statement that they have
abandoned the race. Fred Dismukes clings
TO Washington and is carrying a razor.
The newspapers are having lots of fun with
Dismukes' name AMI photograph, but
be is his own colonel and IS not
taking the public into his confidence. He is
thought to have toe best show for the place
although Sam Dunlap of gainesville has a
wide awake friend here who is urging him
strongly as o compromise candidate. The
claim is that Mr.. Dunlap is not only we'll
qualified ordinarily, but that he Is well up
in matters pertaining tC the service of depu-
ties, having served ss United States com-
missioner for many yeaTss II ReDfroe,
Flynt ana Dunlap pool their Issues and put
Dunlap on the course. it would constitute a
formidable combine. Some speculative
people think this will be the ultimate end
OF this troublesome fight, especially as it is
now deemed that Renfroe and Flynt are to
be fixed If Dismuke wins.
