Dublin, Ga, Feb. 5.-President Perkins
of the Wrightsville and Tennile Railroad
was in Dublin to-day in consultation with
some of the city authorities and leading
citizens in reference to building a new
passenger depot here. He has the plans
drawn for a handsome two-story building,
the lower floor to contain waiting and bag
gage rooms and ticket office, the upper
floor to be used for offices. If permission
can be secured from the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah Railroad, the depot will be
built at once opposite the present Macon,
Dublin and Savannah depot on Jefferson
street. 1t will be used by the Oconee and
Western Railroad, and the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah will be asked to use it also
1t will be a handsome addition to the city
and prove great convenience to the trav-
cling public.
Laurens Superior Court adjourned for
the term on Friday at noon One of the
most interesting cases tried at this term
was that of the state against Elisha Ev-
anvs and j. l.. Battle, who were indicted
for holding lands under forged deeds. The
lands belonged to Hon. Dudley M Hughes
of Danville and other-about 1000 acres in
all-and defendants had possession of it
since August, 1894, under deeds
which have been proven forg-
ries. Their indictment and CON
viction followed, but the jury recon-
mended that they be punished as for a
misdemeanor, which reduced the penalty.
They were each sentenced to pay $75O and
costs or serve twelve months on the chain
gang. Mr.. Battle is a lawyer, who has
been living several years at Dexter, in
this county, and has done good practice
heretofore. Mr.. Evans is a farmer, some
what ignorant of the worlds ways and
by many is regarded as a dupe of Bat

and they may not be able to do so.

RATES To BE RESTORED.
Railroads Not to Fight the Petition
of a Griffin Firm.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb Sin accordance
with the known intention of the roads, as
outlined In a recent letter of Vice Presi-
dent Egan of the Central Railway, the
roads of the state gave to-day formal
notice to the Railroad Commission that
they would restore former rates on par
tial car load shipments on Feb. TO-
The complaint made by Brewer & Han
Iieter, the Griffin wholesale grocers, who
have frequently figured before the State
Railroad Commission, was to have been
heard to-day by the commission, the gist
of this complaint being the action of the
roads in advancing rates on certain heavy
groceries 4 cents a hundred pounds where
the shipments were less than carload lots
Instead of going into a controversy the
roads decided to restore the rates TO the
point where they were prior to this ad-
vance, and accordingly notified the COM
mission, which allowed the case to take
that direction without a hearing or the
Formally of issuing an official order. 1t
is believed that this will give satisfaction
all around.

RUCKER WORKS A REMOVAL.
WHITE JANFTOR FORCED OUT TO

The Formers Refusal to Clean Out

work the Prctext-The JanftOr
Took the Position That His Duty
Was to Supervise the Work, and
Not Do 1t With His Own Hands.
Atlanta, Ca. Feb. 5.-H. A. Rucker, the
.eolored collector of internal revenue. has
scored a unique victory over the civil ser
vice rules After locking horns with the
chief janitor of the federal building ever
since he came into office. the janitor be
ing a white man and good Democrat,
Rucker has won the plumes of victory and
in consequence there was new chief
5anitor on duty at the custom house this
morning.
The old one, w. P. Payne, retired last
night upon orders secured from Washing
ton, and w. H. Barbour, his succeasor,
was at once installed at the head of the
broom brigade. Besides being the hero of
Fuckers campaign with the janitor, Bar
hour is a trombone player in the Lyceum
Theater orchestra, though so far can
now be told, his musical accomplishments
have nothing to do with his favor in the
sight of Collector Rucker.
Ex-Janitor Payne was formerly a mem
Der of the Georgia Legislature. As chief
cantor he considered it his sole duty to
oversee the sweepers and cuspidor-
cleaners of the custom house. He
never did any of the actual work of the
"Swipes'' himself. and would not do it
even when Rucker at the outset of the
campaign to get rid of him secured an or
der to that effect from Washington.
In the first instance Rucker thought 1t
would be a good plan to get rid of Payne
by having him ordered to clean cuspidors
and sweep rooms himself. He could not
be removed without cause, being under
the civil service rules, and by this move
Collector Rucker hoped to force a resiC-
nation, but when the order came from
Washington several months ago requiring
the janitor to "clean up" in propera per
soma MIR. Payne neither obeyed nor resign
ed.
Then Rucker took the matter up with
the officials at Washington and ultimately
secured the order for his dismissal for re-
fusing to perform the duty assigned to
him. The crisis came this morning when
the trombone player of the Lyceum was
Installed by virtue of the order just ar
rived from the capital.
Payne declares that he will appeal to
the civil service commission and secure
his reinstatement, as the order requiring
him to do mental labor was simply a pre-
text to get rid of him for partisan rea-
sons.

Atlanta, Ga. Feb. 5.-FollowinE the an
nouncements of Senator o. B. Stevens. of
Terrell, and Representative NJ. V. Calvin
of Richmond, as candidates for the office
of Commissioners of Agriculture, Col. r.
II. Nesbitt, the present incumbent of that
Office, now formally enters the race. Col
Nesbitt says in the announcement of his
candidacy that he would not have desired
reelection had 1t not been for the attack
made upon him by the Blalock investigat-
ing committee of the last legislature, and
even the fact that the Blalock report ac-
complished nothing in either the House or
the Senate has not satisfied him. What he
wants is vindication and he does not hest
tate to say that he asks it in the face of
the Blalock committee. Col. Nesbitt takes
occasion to defend his administration dur
ing the past seven years He makes no
personal reference to his two opponents but
he says he proposes to submit his steward
snip to the agricultural interests of the
state. with no doubt as to what the verdict
will be.
