JUDGE sIMoNToN's DECISION.
A NEW MAP.
The Men Who Are Going to Make It
and Why 1t Is Made.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. GA party of gov
eminent engineers, consisting of H B.
Blair, w. c. Cannon, J. E. Mcfarland
and A. B. Houston, started out from At
lanta this morning to make a new map of
the state of Georgia.
The party reached here several DAYS
ago, and has been putting up at the Mark
ham hotel, preparing to undertake their
important work. The territory to be
covered by the map, which is for the war
and interior departments use, embraces
a strip ninety miles wide and thirty miles
long, between Lawrenceville, in Gwin-
nett county, aad Stone Mountain,
in Dekalb county, taking in the
towns of Athens, Lincolntou and
Lexington. 1t will show every railroad
wagon road, every stream in this section,
every hill aud valley, and every house
and its location on the road on which it is
built, with the exact altitude of the
county surveyed.
The outfit, which headed for Lawrence
vile as their initial point, consisted of
one wagon, three buck boards. four horses,
four mules, the necessary instruments,
and complete camping outfit for a long
stay in the field.

IMPROVEMENTS AT BRUNSWICK.
The Southern Railway Intends to do
Big Business There.

Brunswick, Ca, Aug. 22.-All Bruins
wickians are watching the movements of
the Southern railway officials with a
great deal of interest When the an
nouncement was made that the East
Tennessee road entering Brunswick,
would remain part of the Western
system, this interest was increased, as it
was regarded as a sure sign that Bruins
wick would get her share of improve
ments at the hands of the new owners,
this port being the deep water terminus
Of the Western system Present indica-
tions point TO early commencement of
work by the Southern peopleon some of
their large dock properties in
the heart of the business portion
of the city. At the foot of Monk
street extending the length of Que block
on Bay street, the road owns one of the
finest water fronts in the state, having
purchased it some years ago at a cost of
$4,000. This property has been idle for
a long time, its only occupant being a
firm of wholesale grOcers Shortly after
the change of owners in the road notice
was given the grocery firm to vacate their
building, which they did at once. 1t is
now stated on good authority that the
road intends tearing down the building
and erecting across the entire water front
substantial docks and cotton sheds
tDuP46u WIN IulS announcement
is one that property owners
along Bay street will endeavor TO secure
permission foom the city council to make
Bay street a railroad thoroughfare, and
change the present frontage of their
buildings to Oglethorpe street, the next
one to Bay. This change can be easily
made if council will grant permission,
and the traffic facilities of both the South
ern and Brunswick and Western rail
roads will be greatly increased thereby.
Three miles from Brunswick the South
ern has spur track running TO large
dock and compress properties, and
during the cotton season. all cotton and
phosphate from this port is loaded there,
the phosphate in summer being shipped
from the Brunswick and Western docks.
In view of the recent movements and or
ders of the Southern people, Brunswick
ians are hopeful of good results.

NO SECOND MARRIAGE.
An Interesting Addition to the BYRD
Divorce Case Story.


Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 22.-Another very
interesting chapter in the divorce case of
Charles p. Byrd Of this city against Mrs.
Pearl Bryan Byrd comes from New York
to-day. A month or so ago Mr.. Byrd,
who is a well-kuown publisher, secured a
divorce from his wife in New York upon
the ground of faithlessness. f. H.
Rockwell, who was at one time
his business partner, being named
as the correspondent. After the
divorce was granted. Mr.. Byrd gave a
statement 70 the press explaining that
Mrs. byrd had been sent to New York
Tor medical treatment. She became
mentally unbalanced ana was placed in a
private insane asylum Her hallucinatiOn
was that she was unworthy her husband
anectlon and must be divorced. Nothing
else would pacify her, and finally a situa-
ton was arranged. Mr.. Byrd says. with
Rockwell which would furnish grounds
Tor the divorce. Rockwell and Mrs. Byrd
registered as man and wife at
Brooklyn hotel, but Rockwell
was only acting part under
the direction of Mr. Byrd, and
Mrs. Mary E. Bryan. the authoress, who
IS Mrs. Byrd's mother. The divorce has
been the subject of several newspaper
sensations. MIR. Byrd declares that Mrs.
Byrd has always been q true and faithful
wife, and that the divorce was only Sc
cured in the hope of relieving her mental
troubles The latest chapter of the ro-
mantle affair comes out in connection
with the visit of the Georgia Weekly
Press Association TO New York week
ago. In the party were Mr.. BYRD and
his l3year-old son and Mrs. Bryan.
When he reached New York Mr.. Byrd
called upon Mrs. Byrd and endeavored to
persuade her to remarry him. His inten-
ton all along, he said, was to remarry her
privately, but since all the newspaper
publications he wanted the ceremony
public. Mrs. Byrd. however, refused
positively to the remarriage, though she
received her former husband kindly and
said she would always be his friend. She
loved him no longer, however, and Mr.
Byrd was finally forced to return to At
lanta alone with his little son, who also
pleaded with his mother for his fathers

TALKING OF TRADES.
Political Schemes That Are Alleged to
Be Brewing at the Capital.

Atlanta. Ga. Aug. 22.-There is a lively
row on in city politics over movement
to hold the city primary on the same day
that the state election is held, Oct 3.
The city executive committee, in fixing
the date Of the city primary, after a
warm discussion, named Sept. .. At
the time of this action the issue was di-
rectly made that it would be unwise to
mix city and state politics, and ii was
thought that the point was settled. 1t
appears. however, that one Of the factions
the ticket put out by the committee of
fifty. it is asserted. has been quietly az
work all along 10 get the date of the pri-
mary changed, and to-day Chairman Ellis
was approached on the subject.
The sensational feature Of the situation
is the charge made that those who want
the change of date are in a scheme to
trade with the followers of Judge Hines
if they can get the city primary on the
day the state election is held At the
same time the argument is being used
that Mr.. Atkinson would get better ma
lOrity if the two elections are held to-
gether. This argument is a little queer
to the disinterested onlooker, as il is ap-
parent that the friends of Judge
Hines will make strong fight
for him in this, his home county.
He will be voted for by some other
wise good democrats as well as his legiti-
mate followers of the popllist faith. IN
der these circumstances, il can be readily
seen that the opportunities for trading
with the horde of candidates for city
officers would be extremely attractive,
more especially as many good democrats
could readily get the consent of Their con-
sciences TO vote for Hines on the ground
of his being a home candidate with the
further Weight of city politics in the bal
ance.
To-day the disclosure of the effort to
change the date of the primary has been
the all talk. 1t has aroused a great deal of
warm feeling of combination on account
of the rumors Of trading on the guberna-
torial situation. Although what is usually
recognized as the municipal ring is in
favor of the change, the general disap-
prOval manifested during the day
has given the scheme a backset
which is more likely to prove fatal to it.
1t would be a disgrace to the Democratic
party if Atlanta should fail to give MIR.
Atkinson the usual democratic majority,
not to mention any possibility that the
county would go for Hines the populist,
and to-days developments made a lively
stir among the loyal members of the old
party.
