The State Board Takes I'D the Petition
for Snancar's Removal.


ATLANTA, GA. Jan. 14.-When the state
geological board met to-day there were
present Gov. Northern Treasurer Hsrdeman.
Controller General Wright. State School
Commissioner Bradwell and Agricultural
Commissioner Nesbitt. The business OF the
meeting was the petition from miners and
others IN North Georgia asking that DIR.
Spencer, the state geologist. be removed
and another man put in his
place. There has been considerable
bad feeling existing between
DR.. Spencer and Prof. Whatley his assist
ant, ever since they have been on the board,
and the friends OF Or. Spencer thought that
Prof. Whatley was at the bottom Of the
petition asking for the removal of DR.. Spen-
Ger. This idea, however, was dissipsted
this morning when John Martin Of Gaines
Vile appeared before the board and stated
that be was the author OF the petition. He
said he and the others who signed the petit
ton wanted Or. Spencer removed because
they thought he was not competent to dis
charge the duties Of the office.
GIVEN TWO WEEKS LONGER
a resolution was passed that two weeks
longer and only two weeks be granted to
DR.. Spencer, Prof. Whatley and Prof. An
derson in which to file the report OF the
work done by them in making the geological
survey of the state. The last legislature
appropriated money to be used in publish
ing the reports and the board wants them
published. DR.. Spencer and his assistants
were appointed TO make a survey OF the
state and to report on the minerals,
the water powers, the charac-
ter Of the soil, the climate in different
sections and the timber of the state. DIR.
Spencer says the chief work done so far has
been in Southwest Georgia, locating arte-
sian water veins, mari lands and Analysing
the soil. DR.. Spencer has been at work in
North Georgia In the mineral country.
Prof. Anderson has been ascertainiug the
volume Of the Flint. Ocmulgee and Chatta-
hoochee rivers, while Prof. Whatley has

Arohoishop Corrigan prepared the follow

gave out this evening: 1.-THE sovereign
pontih, as the vatican council defines, en-
joys immediate episcopal jurisdiction over
the entire flock Of Christ. The primacy OF
the apostolic see carries with it from its
very nature the right to appoint
representative In any diocese Of the world.
To deny this is to deny the faith Conse-
quently, when the holy father is pleased TO
make delegate apostolic. he has perfect
right to do SO. More than this, to doubt
the wisdom Of The holy see in determi ming
TO appoint such a representative, no
Catholic who is well Instructed in his
religion would for a moment think of
doing. We will receive this decision OF the
holy father as we receive all other decisions
enanatiog from him, with profoundest
reverence, respect and obedience. Before
the holy see acted there might have been
room for difference OF opinion; now none
exists. For my own part, gladly receive
and welcome the news in question, always
aupposing il TO be nuthantic.n
