There is an interesting controversy over
the Atlanta pOstmastership. It IS rather
difficult TO get at the facts of it because the
reports bearing upon it that have appeared
! in public prints are as different as the
sources from which they emanste.
| 1t is admitted that there are three candi-
dates, namely, Fox, Copper aud Kentz. it
| Is understood that Copper has the support
Of Senator Gordon, who Seems to have the
ear Of tine President. Atian-a is in Repre-
sentative Liviugston's district and be claims
the right, by custom, to name the Atlanta
postmaster. Mr.. Livingston, however, was
Hill man prior TO the meeting of
the Chicago convention, and, it Is under
stood, has not great deal of influence with
the administration. Senator ColquItt also
was Hill man, and his influence, it is al
legged. is not great at the white house.
1t is probable, however, that the Asser-
tions that the President feels more kindly
toward those who favored his nomination
than those who opposed it does him injus-
tice. He is on record as saying that there
would be no discrimination against those
who did not favor his nomination.
IL
do not do him Injustice, that Senator Cor
don seeks tc control all the presidential ap-
pointmsnts ia the state. He asserts that he
does not desire the appointment Of a per-
sonal friend as postmaster at Atlanta, but
aims 70 have appointed the man the people
Of that city prefer.
But whom do they preferl Senator Cor
aifhnnoh ha "a 10 in
IS as we'll qualified 60 speak on that question
as Mr.. Livingston. He has pretty thorough
acquaintance with the Atlanta people.
In the meantime a movement has been
started in Atlanta to have the question OF
the popularity Of the candidates tested by
ballot Itis understood that Messrs. Fox
and Keatz favor the movement, and Mr..
Copper opposes it. That, would seem TO In
dictate that Mr.. Copper is not certain that a
majority Of the people prefer him, but
thinks he stands the best chance OF getting
the Office il no balloe is taken. In the mean.
time the President has asked the Postmaster
General to Inquire into the merits Of the
controversy.
Georgia appears TO be attracting more at
tenton in Washington just now than any
other state. A good many Of her citizens
are applicants for office, and they seem In
clined TO insist upon having what they ask
for. Georgia gave Mr.. Cleveland a big
democratic majority and she is entitled to
a good deal of consideration. 1t is worthy
of notice, however, that those who rendered
Mr.. Cleveland the most service in his cam
paign for the nomination are not the ones
who are not the most persistent In seeking
Offices

The case Of Carlyle ". Harris, who was
tried in New York city court for the
murder Of his vile. Helen Potts. and con-
victed, and who has just been denied a new
trial. has more than local importance for
the reason that he vas convicted on cir
Cumstantial evidence alone. 1t is alleged
that it has only one parallel in the history
Of American Jurisprudence. namely, the
| case of John White Webster, who was a
chemist in Boston, and who murdered DR..
! PArkman in 1919. But the evidence in the
case OF Webster was much stronger than
was the evidence in that of Harris. DR..
ParkmAn visited Prof. Webster 10 mis-
laboratory for the purpose OF collecting
a bill In moment OF passion
Webster killed Parkman and tried 90
destroy the evidence Of his crime by burn
ing the remains in his laboratory furnace.
A set Of false teeth of Parkman's was not
destroyed. They were found in the ashes
OF the furnace and identified. Webster's
arrest aud conviction followed. The case
wns a notable one, and is often referred TO
in criminal practice.
Carlyle Harris prescribed quinins for a
obtained TIE drug for her. It is alleged
that for the quinine he substituted NOR
phine, from the effects Of which his wife
died. He had been recently married 20 her,
and in support of the charge brought
against him it was alleged that he wanted
TO get rid Of her Ia order to marry a wealthy
girl to whom he had become an acceptable
suitor
The trial attracted great deal Of atten-
ton. The verdict of guilty did not give
general satisfaction, the belief of many
being that the evidence did not justify the
verdict-that there was room for doubt.
The case was taken to the supreme court
and then to the court Of appeals, both Of the
higher tribunals affirming the finding of the
jury. The decision of the court Of appeals
was written by Justice Gray and is said to
be a remarkably able legal document.
A motion for a new trial was then made
before Recorder Smythe, who tried the
case. The basis of the motion was newly
discovered evidence, the evidence being that
Helen Potts was in the habit of taking NOR
phine. The motion having been overruled,
as stated in the MORNING NEWS dispatches,
there is nothing in the way Of the execution
OF the sentence.
There is room, OF course. for doubt as to
whether Harris is guilty. 1t is not i'm
probable that he would not have been con-
vioted if he had possessed good character.
He is a man of considerable ability and re-
spectacle family, but the evidence showed
that he was utterly without conscience in
bis relations with women.
IL has been charged that the newspapers
convicted him. They have baeu against
him, but 1t is not true that they are respon-
sible for his conviction. Clear. beaded
judges have passed upon the evidence
and they have declared it to be
sufficient to justify the verdict that
was found against him. While it
is true that many newspapers in their efforts
to present sensational articles make state
ments not warranted by the facts, still only
the facts. as q general thing. get before a
Jury.

The census bulletin just issued, relative to
the ownership Of farms and to farm in
cumbrances in Georgia, shows that
OF the farms So 10 per cent. are hired
and 41.90 per cent. are owned by those
who cultivated them. In other words, Of
every 100 farmers about fifty-sight hire
their farms and about forty two own their
farms.
or the farms owned only per cent. are
mortgaged and Al per cent are unincum-
tered. This, it must be admitted, is a re-
markably good showing. 1t is doubtful II
in any other state SO small a percentage of
the farms owned by those who cultivate
them are free from mortgages. If we are
not mistaken a very large proportion of the
farms in the western states, Kansas for in-
stance, are incumbered. In fact, in some
of the counties OF that state an unincum-
bered farm is an exception.
One of the reasons why there are so many
farmers in Georgia who hire the farms they
cultivate is thatmany of the big plantation
have been divided up into small farms, aud
rented on shares, or at a stipulated price, to
colored men. In many instances these
small farms contain only q few acres In
the course of time a large percentage of
them will be owned by those who cultivate
them. All things considered, Georgia
farmers are in fairly prosperous cond!-
tion. They are not overburdened with debt
and their outlook for the future is eneour-
aging,
