PLANS ARE TOO VAGUE
WHAT WILL THE PEOPLE GET IN ITS
PLACE
QUESTIONS ASKED BUT NOT ANSWERED
So Members Of the Committee Having the
Matter in Charge Are Talking Of Asking
for Further Time---A Question About
the Poll Holders.

So little interest is being manifested
in the proposed sale of the Market House
just now that there is serious talk OF
postponing the primary ordered on this
question.
The principal thing operating against
the election and it's success just now Is
the fact that no options have been OBJ
tanned on other property suitable for a
new market, or If obtained sucn optlons
have not been published
In voting away one thing people like 10
know beforehand what they are going to
get in it's place.
Then again those having the matter in
charge have been slow to act, and as
yet no machinery beyond the passing OF
an ordinance, has been arranged for hold
ing the election.
These things, together. with the daily
increasing interest in politics and the
approaching conventions, have served as
q sort of a wet blanket on the Market
House primary.
In fact the talk of postponement Is
coming from those in authority and from
those having the sale of the Market
talk The primary may be held or it
may not
Though the list of poll holders has
been made out their names have not yet
been made public for two reasons: %
1t is not known that all of them will
accept; and CD it has not yet been de-
cded who is the proper person to appoint
them-the mayor or the clerk.
The mayor says it's the clerks duty
as he appoints the poll holders at or
binary elections. The clerk says this is
an informal election, that his duties in
the ordinance are prescribed-preparine
the ballots and the boxes; that he is
doing this. and the duty of appointing
poll holders, unless otherwise provided
for, devolves upon the mayor.
1t is likely that it will end up by the
mayor making the appointments.
Poll holders will be paid 50 each a day
and there will be four for each ward.

NEW BAPTIST PASTOR.
He Had a Remarkably Successful
Career in Atlanta.

The selection Of Rev. A. A. Marshall,
D. d., of Georgia, as pastor of the First
Baptist church in this city, seems to be
a wise selection. Speaking of DR.. Mar
shall, Sundays Atlanta Constitution SAID:
THE announcement that DR.. Marshall
will go to Raleigh will cause considerable
regret in Georgia, and especially among
the patrons of Monroe college. That in
stitution is for young ladies, and under
the administration of DR.. Marshall las
made wonderful progress during the past
seven months.
CDR Marshall resigned the pastorate
of the Jackson Hill Baptist churcn of this
city last summer to accept the pres !dercy
of the Monroe college. He had been as
tor of the Jackson Hill church for almost
five years, making probably the most re-
markable record as an organizer ever
known in this city.
when he took charge of the little banG
of Baptists on Jackson Hill there WAS a
mission there with a membership Of .hir-
ty persons. Within five years he erected
a beautiful building and increased the
membership of his church to several hum
dred communicates. There was great
regret when he announced that he would
leave the city.
DIR. Marshall came to Atlanta from
Anderson, S. c., where he was pastor of
the Baptist church, and he was as well
known in the ministry of that State as he
is in Georgia.
at is understood that he will take
charge of the First church of Raleigh
within sixty days, in the event that he
decides to accept the call, and from the
expressions of the visitors to this city,
there appears but little doubt that he
will accept This will leave vacant The
presidency of the Monroe college, ana
will necessitate other changes in 1his
State"

RESCUE OF YACHTS CREW.

mandeF >. u. Hopkins.
1t has leaked out that Lieutenant Com
mander Sherburne G. Hopkins Of the Naval
Battalion, District OF Columbia National
Guard. is entitled to be enrolled in the spe-
cial class Of heroes. This assumption is
based on the following communication, OF
recent date, addressed to Lieutenant Com
mander Hopkins and signed by 8. I. Kim
ball, general superintendent of life-saving
service, Treasury Department:
"In a report made to this Office by Keep
er q. H. Spinney Of the Hunniwells Beach
life-saving station, coast of Maine. I find
the following paragraph referring to the
services rendered by you to the life-saving
crew on the occasion of the assistance to
the naphtha yacht Nohoko, which was in
a dangerous position near the mouth Of the
Kennebec river July Is last:
In this connection l beg to invite at
tention to the conduct of Lieutenant Com
mander s. G. Hopkins of the District of Co
lumbia Naval Reserve, temporarily So
journing here, who reported the vessel to
me, and who not only voluntarily accom-
panied me in my small boat to make an
examination into the vessels danger, but
subsequently volunteered and served as n
member of the surf boats crew. He was
the first to board the Nohoko aroused her
crew and took charge of her while under
tow. He declined to permit his name to
be placed on the pay roll, though l offered
to do SO, which fact will explain that while
there were eight men In the crew there are
only seven signatures on the pay voucher

pose Of laying before you the compliment
