coming in from his work for orders and
encouragement.

tion, but was not working up to her best.

esting heats and had no further chance
of competition.
Cleans Sport injured his leg and con-
sequently was off in his work, fremont,

WRIGHT DECIDES TO SIGN.
He is Not Satisfied With the AttOT-
leY Generals Opinion.

He Thinks the Governor Should Not
Have Ordered Out the Troops With
out a Written Request from the
Peace oflcers-He Throws the FL
nanoial Responsibility on the Attor-
ney General.
Atlanta, Ga, Feb 10.-That Waycross
campaign, when Gov. Northen stood to
the front to cope with Sluggers Corbett
and Mitchell and their hosts of sports, is
like Banquo's ghost-it will not down.
To-day's developments put phase on the
case that was highly interesting,
not to say sensational. Controller
General Wright has refused to
accept Attorney General Terrell's opinion
advising the payment of the expenses OF
calling out the military. Controller
Wright took the position that
the attorney general ignored the
facts while devoting himself to a fine
exposition of the law and authorities.
The original point upon which the con-
troller general declined TO countersign
the warrants drawn by the governor was
based on the facts, not the law,
for Controller Wright has never
questioned the authority of the
governor to call out the military
to prevent a prize fight, but he does ques-
ton the legality of the governors action
when measured by the circumstances and
the law together
NO WRITTEN REQUEST.
Under the law the governor has author
ity to call out the military upon written
information or application by the peace
officers of the jurisdiction affected. But
the opinion of the attorney general says
nothing about such written application or
information having been given the gov
ernor, and this is the rub. Gov. Northen
unquestionably had what he considered
sufficient information to warrant him in
ordering out the troops, but unless that
information came TO him as provided by
law, Controller Wright does not see how
he can approve the expense warrants.
Gov. Northen will not discuss the case.
He feels that he acted not only within
the law, but that the facts warranted
what he did, and he is not inclined to
trouble himself more about it just at
present. He is willing to answer alone to
the people for his official acts.
MR.. WRIGHT CHANGES HIS MIND.
Atlanta Ca, Feb 10, II p. m.-Con-
troller General Wright requests the state
ment that after a more thorough study OF
the attorney generals opinion on the pay
ing of the executive warrants for the
Waycross campaign, he has reversed his
views, and will countersign the warrants,
and the money for the military ordered
out by the governor will be paid without
further controversy. Controller Wright
puts the entire responsibility on the at
torney general In changing his view, hold
ing that that official is responsible for the
facts under his advisement that the money
be paid

highest averages are put at the head.
When the postmaster has a vacancy, he
so informs the local board of examiners
and three men from the head of the list
are sent up If neither of these is salts
factory, three more are sent up. Each
man on the list has three chances in this
manner for selection by the postmaster
before he is required to stand another

Saussy for the plaintiff and Mr.. S. b.

The award of the arbitrator was
5000. 5000 for the road, &, 900 for loss
of income and 81 900 for the house and
other losses. The company asks that
the full value be paid for the property,
claiming that it is owned by it in fee
simple and that it has the right to close
up the road between the cross streets and
sell out such portions of it for building
lots. MIR G. II. Dorsett stated on
the witness stand that the property so
closed up and sold out between Anderson
and Twelfth streets would bring about
Sl9, 500. The city at first claimed the
right to take the road for nothing. but
