ARMY PLACES FOR GEoRGIANS.
Nessrs. Clay. AdamsOn and Cren-
shaw See the President.

Washington, April Ex-senator Clay and
Representative Adamson, with Railroad
Commissioner T. c. Crenshaw of Georgia,
were among the callers upon the Pres
ident to-day before the cabinet assembled.
Senator Clay and Mr.. Adamson stated
after seeinsfhe President that their mis-
sion was~to urge the appointment of sew
eraI aIGeorgians who desire places in the
Irregular army as captains, first and second
lieutenants. Senator Clay remarked that
il would not be wise to mention the names
for candidates thus urged. for it is hard
ly possible that all of them will be taken
care Of The President stated that a
long list of army appointments will be
announced before he starts on his trans
continental trip ,and he intima ted that
several Georgia volunteers will be on the
list. He was not prepared to name toe
successful candidates, as the list is now
being prepared at the War Department.
While at the White House, Senator
Clay called the attention of the President
to the subject of appointments in the new
federal prison at Atlanta. The President
replied that he would not be able TO con-
slider the Atlanta prison appointments un-
til he returns from his Western trip. SEN
ator Clay and MIR. Adamson, after leav-
ing the White House, called at the War
Department to look further into the sub
ject of the military appointments in Geor-
gia, and afterwards went to the Postof-
flee Department to confer with the officials
there relative to some minor changes in
the postal service in Georgia. They put in
a busy day in the various departments,
and left for home tonight.
Senator Clay, when questioned concern
ing the proposed organization of a White
Republican party in the South and the eff
feet Senator McLaurin's recent course
might have in that direction, declined to
ject at this time. He said, so far as Geor-
gia is concerned, the Democratic party is
not giving much attention to what may
be going on in South Carolina. Thus far
that subject has not been widely agitated
and outside of the Republican ranks it
has attracted but little interest.
Railroad Commissioner Crenshaw, who
| is on his way to New York on private
| business, in commenting upon the af-
! fairs of the Georgia railroads, said: 1.-The
| relations between the railroads of Georgia
| and the people of that state were never
| more equitable and satisfactory than at
! present. The railroads generally are do
! ing good business and the commission
| has been able to fix rates at a basis that
| is not altogether burdensome and yet al
lows the roads TO earn a fair living.
| There are about five thousand miles of
| railroads in Georgia, and while there
! has been no more great activity in the
| building OF new roads of late, all the
| roads are giving better service now than
ever before"

in n section 80 miles from Jersey City
is Mormon, 1t may be understood that
the situation Is menacing. It was
predicted that in 30 years the Nor
mons would control n belt Of states

east to southwest. The prediction has
been verified in 20 years instead OF
80. They own land from the Rocky
Mountains to the Sierras and are
spreading east, as ] have told you.
They control four western states and

of this city whose opinion on legal
matters is unquestioned, has recently
made public his unqualified opinion on
a matter of medicine. Mr.. Wade says
that Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble
affect the eyesight and further that
there Is no case OF the kind that can
not be cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
He has no fear of being set right by
any of his medical friends, for both
statements have a living and indis-
putable proof in the person Of the
great lawyer himself, who as a result
of Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble
from which he suffered for years, be-
came totally blind.
Physicians. the best in the country,
pronounced his case incurable and
hopeless, but Dodds Kidney Pills
cured him, restored his sight, drove
away the Kidney Trouble and with 1t
che Rheumatism and made an all
around well man of him.
