A THINKING MACHINE NEXT.
1t Is Suggested by the Observation of Colo
mel Hardemans Porter.

4
mel Hardeman's Porter.
What we want next is thinking ma
chine.
Several counting machines are being
tested in the cities of this state; they
have been placed in banks, it might be
we'll to add, for they cost 1919.
The machine cannot well be briefly de-
scribed. The figures are made by the
pressure of keys similar to typewriter,
and after column of any desired length
has been printed on slip of paper fed
from roll, the pressure of a button and
the turning of crank will add up the
entire column with absolute accuracy.
Col. R. U. Hardeman had one of the
machines in his office in the capitol build
ing a short time ago. The genial state
treasurer also has a da1key attached to
his office who answers to the name of
Peter.
Peter was watching Col. Hardeman ex.
pertinent with the machine one day, and
his observations were very intent. After
awhile he looked up and remarked:
"Mars Bob, mo wonder de white folks
is running the niggars out of the coun-
try. After awhile you won't have no.
body in his office but you and that
machine an a monkey to turn de crank"
Really, what is needed, however, is a
thinking machine. Then man could
set his machine at work several hours
before he was interviewed. In this con-
nection it would be especially serviceable
to some of the statesmen in ascertainlng
the temper of the people, or the center
of gravity of the top rail of the fence.

THE REGISTRATION LAW.
THE PEOPLE RATHER INDIFFER-
ENT IN OBSERVING OF IT.

Nobody eau Vote in Georgia Now Without
Registering. Books for Terrell County
Have Been Received.
The people of Terrell county appear
20 be rather Indifferent in their observ-
ance of the general state registration
law passed by the last legislature. That
Law went into effect on the first Monday
in January, 1895, and is now in full
force
AS we have no regular elections this
year. but Ii tile thought has been given
by the average citizen to the new regis
tration law; but, all the same, no-citizen
can vote for any officer nor in any popu-
lar election in this state until he has
duly qualified himself by registration.
The registration act is lengthy one,
and would fill about four columns of
the News, The law is a stringent one,
and admits no lodging or fraud in the
matter or registering.
The tax collector, the ordinary and
the clerk of the superior court are
required to prepare and file with the
registrars of the county list of all dis
qualified voters Of the county, to be
compared by the registrars with the list
of registered voters shown by the voters
books" Persons who have not paid all
taxes since the the adoption of the con-
stitution of II, or who have been con-
victed of felony or any crime implying
moral turpitude, will not be eligible for
registration.
The registrators appointed for this
county are c. ". Harris, NJ. c, Edwards
and NJ. G. Statham.
The tax collector of Terrell county has
his books ready for the registration of
voters. Voters must register either with
him or with his deputy clerk, who, in
the absence of the tax collector, is au-
thorized to administer the oath.

Policeman McGuire's Sentence For
Contempt OF Court.

Policeman McGuirc's Sentence for
Contempt OF Court.
Policeman James Mcclure was fined IS
or five hours confinement by Recorder
Wilson yesterday morning for contempt
Of court. The recorder was hearing a
petty case in which a number Of negroes
were interested, and the crowd in the
court room was larger than usual.
officer Mcclure was acting as tipstaff,
and had considerable trouble in keeping
the crowd back, frequently having to
use his stan to keep them back. one ne
gro in the crowd began making sarcastic
remarks upon the case In progress. lie
was warned two or three times by the Of
ficer to keep quiet. but continued his
comments: officer Mcclure put a stop
to this by Selling the man by the should
ers and hustling him out OF the door,
giving him a good shove from the rear.
Recorder Wilson demanded OF officer
Mcclure what he meant by handling a
spectator so rpushly. He I'D not like
the officers reply and Instructed the
clerk to put him on the docket for show
ing and striking spectator in the court
room. Mcclure declared that he did not
strike the man, and added that it was not
worth while to bring prisoners before the
recorder, as the latter almost always
turned them loose.
II intended to leave this case to the
mayor" said Recorder Wilson, but since
you have so much TO say about it, Will
try It myself"
He called several parties out of the
crowd and questioned them as to the
officers action. The testimony did not
show positively that Mcclure had struck
the man, and the recorder announced
that he would fine the officer s. for CON
tempt of court on account of the way in
which he had spoken
Mcguire decided that he would take
the alternative of five hours confinement
and was told to report at the barracks
this morning for that purpose.

CHARGES AGAINST A DEPUTY.

Defendant in the United states
Court Makes Affidavit Against W.
L. Poor.
A warrant has been sworn out, it is
understood on an affidavit made by some
Of the defendants in the case against
Hugh K. Salter and others indicted for
using the United States mails to carry
on what is called the counterfeit money
fraud or green goods business, charging
Deputy Marshal w. L. Poor of the United
States court with some Irregularities, in
that it is alleged, he secured or attempted
to secure money from them through
promises of using his influence in their
behalf, or doing what he could to be OF
benefit to them.
Just what there is back of the charges
is not known, as the defendants in the
SalteT case are not in the city nor is their
attorney. Deputy Marshal Poor is away
also on business for the marshars office
being engaged in serving papers, and the
warrant against him has not yet been
served. IL is said that similar charges are
frequently made by defendants in GRIM
inal cases in order to strengthen their
own cases. Deputy Marshal Poor has been
connected with the marshars office for
several years, he having served under
Marshals Corbett, Leverett and Harrell
He is from Camilla, Ga, ana his asso-
ciates all say he has kept good record

NEW SHOPS OF THE SOUTHERN.

Employees Boycott House Owners
Who brought Damage Suits.
Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 25.-The employees of
the Southern Railway Company on the
Western division have declared a unique
boycott. 1t went into effect to-day, and
will continue until the object desired has
been accomplished. The boycott is on
some twenty owners Of houses in the Vi
entity of the shops of the old East Ten
nessee road, who have filed suits for
damages against the railroad company.
These property owners claim that the
shops are so located as to injure their
property and hence the damage suits
which aggregate some $4,000.
The institution of these suits has caused
the Southern Railroad Company to an
nounce that the company would abandon
Its plan to build the main shops Of the
company on their site, unless the suits
which are alleged to be persecution, are
withdrawn. The erection Of these shops
mere would make employment for a big
force Of hands and so when the Southern
called halt on account of the damage
suits, the employees got together and de-
clared their boycott on the owners Of the
property because they believed the dam
age suits to be unjust and a persecution.
To-day Mayor King and President
Woodson of the chamber of commerce
signed call for a mass meeting of citi-
zens to be held tomorrow morning to see
what can be done toward having the
damage suits against the railroad with
drawn so that the work of putting up the
new shops may go on.

names no executor or executrix, but men
tons that his wife is to take charge of

will, contends that this is sufficient in
law, and that the appointment Of an ad-
ministrator C. [. a. as is usual in cases
where no executor is named is not neces-
sary. Judge Ferrill will decide the mat
ter this morning. The property was left
by the will to the wife and children of

The will of Margaret Reilly was pro-
bated in common form. Messrs. j. j
MCGOWAN and John j. Reilly were named
as executors, and the property was left

The Pitcher 10 BE Moved Foot

New York. Feb 25.-The committee on
rules of the National Base Ball League
was scheduled to meet at the Fifth Aven-
ue hotel to-day. and prepare certain
amendments for adoption by the conven-
ton of base ball magnates on Wednes-
day. The committee consisted of Chair
man Edward Hanlon, manager of the
Baltimore club; Manager W. W. Kerr, Of
Pittsburg, and Manager James Hart OF
Chicago. Messrs. Hanlon and Hart were
at the hotel at an early hour and waited
for Mr.. Kerr. but he did not appear.
Messrs. Hanlon and Hart decided 10
20 ahead with their business and submit
the work for Mr.. Kerr's approval when
he should have arrived, and before the
convention opened.
Manager Hanlon said that among the
amendments they decided to recommend
to the convention for adoption was one
to prevent the wearing of large gloves
by all players except the catcher and
first baseman.
Another change is to enlarge the pitch
ers' box IL inches toward the home plate.
Another amendment is aimed at the
loud coaching done at games. That is to
be stopped. There are rules a. the present
time giving power to the umpire to stop
that, but the rules are not enforced. The
proposed amendment is to make it manda-
tory on the umpire to enforce the rule.
Manager Hanlon said he felt almost
sure that the convention would adopt the
proposed amendments He said he did
not care to recommend any radical change
in the rules, as the public seemed well
satisfied with the present way of playing
base ball.
