Atlanta, Ga, June 9O.-The journal to-
day says that John D. Little and A. o.
Blalock, both of the Blalock investigating
committee. will probably cross swords for
the spea kership of the next House of Rep
resentatives.
Tom Fielder is out of the race and win
probably run for congress against Lon
Livingston.
Mr. Little admits that he is considering
the question of making a dive for the
speakership.
MIR. Blalock says that whatever may be
his ambition, ne is now engaged in hewing
to the line and trying to do the state serv-
ice on the investigating committee.
1t is also whispered that another mem
Der, Tom Swift, wants to be railroad COM
missioner.
A well written criticism in a local paper,
the sum and substance or when is tnat
the committee should not regard itself as
prosecutors, bound to find something
wrong, but only Investigators to see how
much of wrong and how much of right
exists, has stirred up that body nightly.
Like all politicians they are sensitive to
the skinless point and resentment is east
ly excited. The critic claimed that the
investigation SO far showed that Geor-
gas administration was the best on re-
cord, only the most insignificant errors
having been discovered. II is said that
the committee is of the opinion that in
terested parties who have contracts with
the state, inspired the criticisms. Never
theless there seems to be a good deal of
sound sense in It,

Joseph II. walker Makes Miss Mag
gle wallace His Bride.
Guyton, Ga, June 3O-A very pretty
marriage was celebrated at the home of
c. A. j. Sweat this afternoon at $50
o'clock. The contracting parties were Jo-
seph S. Walker of Savannah and Miss
Maggie Wallace of Guyton. The mar
riage was a very quiet one, there being
only 4 few friends and relatives present to
witness the ceremony, which was perform
ed in a beautiful and impressive manner
by Rev. Thomas Walker of Augusta.
The arrangements for the marriage had
been going on quietly for several days,
bat were not perfected until few hours
before its contamination. Several years
ago the parents of the bride made SOM
objection to the marriage, and doubtless
thought that they had put an end to the
matter, but not so. Cupid had done hi
work too well. The young people had
seen nothing of each other except occa-
sional glmpses for over two years They
met a few weeks ago, and since that time
steps have been taken looking to their
marriage. At o'clock this afternoon the
contracting parties drove to the residence
of Mr. Sweat, uncle of the groom, and
marched into the parlor to the sweet
strains of Lohengrin, played by Miss EN-
mic Bird, and were united in marriage.
The bride is a daughter of Prof. H. A.
Wallace of Guyton. The groom is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. N. Walker of Bruins
wick, and is a young man of sterling
worth. He is manager of the Electric
Supply and Construction Company of Sa-
vannah, and is held in high esteem by
his employees.
Mr. and Mrs. Walker will remain in Guy
ton for two or three months. They will
then go north for a month, after which
they will go to Savannah their future
home. They were the recipients of some
handsome presents

he first sank down. This is thought to be
