postal frauds is far greater than what
was originally expected. Besides TAX
ing in the postal department, the
frauds seem to include the local Office
at Havana and various other Offices
throughout the island, and also to have
extended to outside points, which have
been used for the sale of some of the
old issue of stamps that were ordered
destroyed.
The result of the investigation at the
local postoffice is the suspension of
Postmaster Thompson, who was in
stalled in April of last year. He will
remain at his own house. for the
present. Moya and Mascara. stamp
sellers in the main office, have also
been arrested and further arrests are
expected. AS many as six others have
been placed under the closest super
vision, and they will be arrested as
soon as their services can be spared.
As a matter of fact. If they were all
to be suddenly relieved of duty Il
would not be possible to carry on the
postal department of Havana.

auditors of the postal department. are
still under arrest at their own rooms.

ters will, however be prepared in some
fortress, where all the prisoners con-

THE oHARLToN-wAY BOUNDARY
The Contention Heard Before secre-
tary of State Cook Yesterday.


Atlanta, Feb. 2.-The contention OF
Charlton and Wayne county over % 900
acres of land now held by Wayne was
heard before Secretary of State Cook to-
day. Charlton was represented by Judge
Joel L. Sweat and Wayne by Solicitor
General Bennett of Ware and Attorney
Clarke of Wayne. Secretary Cook asked
the counsel to submit briefs, and Judge
Sweat said he had one prepared and had
left home with 1t last night, but could
not find it this morning Counsel agreed
to make oral argument and submit their
briefs later, Judge Sweat agreeing to SUBJ
nit copy to Solicitor Bennett.
This afternoon, after the hearing Judge
Sweat filed his lost brief with the Secre>
tary of State, it having been found on the
Pullman car by the porter and left at the
Judges hotel. Secretary Cook will rem
der his decision in about two weeks, as
he agreed 60 give the attorneys time to
submit additional briefs.
THE previous reports on this contro-
versy," said Solicitor Bennett this after
noon. have conveyed Misrepresentation.
Tho land never was Charltons The peo-
pie give in their taxes to Wayne and
formed"
A reading of the act of 1920 IN which
Charlton relies, shows that il was for
the purpose of defining and altering the
line between Wayne and Camden No
reference whatever being made to Chart
ton. The act of 1872 defines the line be-
tween Wayne and Charlton and makes It
run between land lots al and 24e on the
eastern Indian boundary to the western
Indian boundary between land lots IS
and IT,
Several miles directly north of these is
island LOT "a. In describing where the
western terminus of the boundary line
between Camden and Wayne is, the act
of 1870 says il shall run to the lower line
of the Second district of Wayne, where
lots No. "A and $40 join on the Indian
boundary. There is an Indian boundary
on each side of this disputed territory.
| Lots "A and al do not join. Lots 240 and
241 join on the bower line of the Second
district of Wayne. Lot q is some ten
| or twelve miles northwest of lot 240 on
| the opposite Indian boundary. The fact
| that the county of. Charleston is not men
| toned in the act of 1920 seems TO be proof
conclusive that II was not the intent of
| the Legislature to take away from Wayne
! a big strip Of territory and give il TO
Charlton, and Furthermore the people of
| the disputed territory have always owed
! alliance TO Wayne.
| Aside from the merits of our case, "
! said Solicitor Bennett, with a smile,
! "there are strong political reasons why
| we should retain this territory. Char-
| ton is overwhelmingly Democratic, Wayne
| has not been so always, for il went Pop
! uIst in 1894 The disputed section is sol
! idly Democratic and 70 transfer that TO
| Charlton would not help that county. hut
! would seriously endanger the political flu
! ture of Wayne.
"Furt hermOrc' he continued CHE paO-
! pie of thai section are a unit for Wayne"
| From al the record al hand. Wayne
/ seems to be clearly entitled to the terri
! tory.

ion of Its sub Committee.


Rome, Ga, Feb. 1.-THE city Democrat
ic Executive Committee met to-day in
order 70 hear appeals for a contest by
supporters Of Col. a. w. Walton against
Capt Thompson Hiies.
1t will be remembered that on Feb. 20,
in one of the hottest municipal contests
in Rome's history, Capt. Hiles defeated

illegal votes were cast for Hiles, and that
a re-canvass of the vote was necessary.
They alleged as grounds. that non-resi-
dents, army deserters and men who had
been convicted on points of moral turp-
itude voted. The committee decided unan-
imously that they had no legal right to
90 back of the action of the sub-commit-
tee appointed by the Executive Commit
tee, and who were the official judges Of
the primary. Col. Walton was represented
by ex-City Judge George Harris and Re-
