SOMETHING is DOING In GEORGIA POLITICS.
Johnson of Would Like Be Commissioner Agriculture
and Walker of Webster May Try for Place the Prison Conn
mission. The Ouberhatorial Candidates in Evidence

An Atlanta dispatch says that things
are Frightening Up bit in the politi-
cal line, and the politicians have be-
gun talking again. To use slang,
"there is something doing" The leg
islators are beginning to gather in
groups at night and to crowd together
in the Hobbies during the day. And
the candidates are walking around
shaking hands with the boys and all
that sort of thing. Every now and
thent he newspaper men get socalled
"tips's on things which are going to
happen and are requested not to print
them.
Joe Terrell is seen in the Kimball
house lobby these days and sometimes
his office is so crowded with folks that
it is almost impossible to see him.

PIcKPOCKETS ARRESTED.
Gang of Them Working the
Towns Where CarnivaIs Are.

During the excitement at the merry
go round yesterday, consequent on the
fight in progress, and when the crowd
was dense, two light fingered gentry
attempted to pick MIR. Lon Richards
pocket, but were detected in the act.
Mr.. Richards grabbed one of them and
his pal jumped at Richards and trie |
to rescue his brother thief, when all
of sudden he felt a powerful hand
grasp him by the collar, and looking
up he found himself in the grasp of
Officer Jones, when he wilted. The
pair of rascals were then taken to Jail
and locked up, but were later released
on $50 cash bond each and skipped
out. In this conn ection we add that
the papers have been full of com
plants from all the fairs that Ia gang

THE A. V. AND w. ROAD.
Officials Arranging for This
Extension.

A Moultrie special says that the Off
cials of the Atlantic, Valdosta and
Western Railway Company have been
in that town making preparations for
extension of their road from Valdosta
to some point on the Chattahoochee
river. There seems to be 20 doubt
now that the road will be built at an
carly date. This will mean a great
deal for this section. This is the new
road that has published official notice
of its intention to build tn rough Ter
rell county.

two them, johnson of Barlow and
Walker of Webster, have set their
eyes on state house jobs. 1t is said
the former wants to be commissioner
of agriculture and that the latter
wants TO shine as prison commissioner.
But commissioner Stevens says he
wants TO be reelected and Commits
sioner Tom Eason says the same thing.
Those who have state house jobs are
not anxious by any means to give them
up, and these new candidates are GO
ing to have nice tussles if they win
out. That opposition to State School
Commissioner IGlenn seems to have
hushed up since Ex-Governor Northern
declined to make the race. Mr.. Glenn
is confident that he can look after him
self. and his friends claim that he will
have no trouble in being elected
again.
Judges Lumpkin and Cobb, whose
terms expire in 1903, will have no OPP
position. For time there was some
talk about Judge John s. Gambler
making the race, but Judge Camden has,
announced otherwise.

CIRCUS PREY FOR FLAMES.
Wallace Shows Winter Quarters
Destroyed by Fire.

The winter quarters of Wallace s
show, where the animals are kept,
burned at Peru, Ind, Thursday. The
fire started in the elephant house, a
barn lime structure and spread rapidly.
The animals became panic stricken,
and their cries of terror mingled with
the shouts of trainers and employees
trying to drive them out of danger.
The animals were all safely removed,
but the entire structure was destroyed.

TERRELL MUST HAVE BETTER ROADS.
,t Official Writes That the Permanently of Rura
rsrx in the County Is Endangered. Roads Are in as
Good Condition Could Well Be Expected

Iof Rural Delivery, Washington, No
vember Is, 1901--To Road Commission
Ters, Terrell County Ga. Dear Sirs:
An investigation by this office disclos-
es the fact that the roads travelled by
the rural carriers from Dawson post
Office are not being attended to as post
roads should be; they are in bad con-
dition. The postmaster at Dawson
has been notified to inform the pat
rons of routes j, 2, g. and 5 that the
lack OF care given to the roads cover
ed by it will, if continued, endanger
the permanency of the service there.
A rural carrier can not possibly make
regular time or perform efficient SER
vice over bad roads, particularly dur
ing winter and spring.
Now is the time to mend these high
ways, and it is the hope of the depart
ment that the eroads over which you
have direct supervision will be repair
ed before winter weather sets in, so
that the continuance of the rural free
delivery Service may be insured.
Very respectfully. A. w. MACHEN,
General Superintendent.

DRUMMER ROBBED ON
TRAIN AT AMERICUS.
THIEVES OBTAINED A LARGE SUM OF
MONEY FROM HIM.
The Sharpers Thought to Have Been on
Their Way to Albany Carnival. We're
Last Seen at SmithViIe.

Mr.. w. L. Sharp of Atlanta was
held up and robbed of his pocket book
and contents at the Central railroad
station in AmerIcus few nights ago.
| The train was due at Americas at
10 o'clock but did not arrive until 11:30,
and the officers on duty had been call
ed to another part of the city, leaving
the station without police protection.
Mr.. Sharp, who is IS years of age,
is one of the oldest travelling statesmen
F., in the state. He boarded the train at
Montezuma and as Americas was call
ed three men offered to help him with
his grips, and when the train stopped
one of the men handled the valise
while the other two insisted on assist
ing Mr.. Sharp, who protested that he
did rot need help. Just as the ground
was reached two of the men crowded
Mr.. Sharp while the third man ran his
hand in Mr.. Sharp's pocket and took
out his purse, containing $3.50 in mon
ep and other important papers. Mr..
Shart seized one of the men, but in the
excitement the gang got away and
made good their escape.
The local police were notified and
the train was held for while, but no
trace could be found of the thieves. 1t
is reported that the men were after
ward seen at Smithville where they
hired team and skipped out.
The three men who committed the
robbery boarded the train at Macon
with tickets for Albany, and are prob
ably crooks who hope to work the car
nival visitors to that city.
CAUGHT IN LEESBURG.
Next day three white men were ar
rested at Leesburg, and jailed at
Americas.
Mr.. Sharpe has identified one OF the
gang as the man who robbed him, bnt
failed to identify the other men.
They pave their names as Robert
Boyd, Frank Bremen and Harry Muir
ray. All are held pending further in
vestigation, though they denv the
charge. None of the stolen money was
recovered.

When the senate meets next month

they will be democrats hereafter, and
will be so recorded when the roll is
made up for the approaching session

A special from New York says
The Mckinley Administration
took a hand at breaking the United
States Senatorial deadlocks in three
States yesterday. BY the expiration
of the present week Senator Hanna
hopes that in Nebraska, Delaware
and Montana elections will have been
held.
At conference between the Senator
as chairman, Vice Chairman Henry
c. Payne, of the Republican Nation-
al Committee: eX- Assistant postmas-
ter General Perry S. Heath: Nationa
. mmitteeman II. B. Schneider, of
Nebraska and representatives. from
Delaware. It was agreed that notice
should be served in the name of the
President upon the Republicans of
the Legislatures of the States where
contestants continue that they must
end.
Instructions were sent to Helena
that the Montana Republicans must
see to il that Thomas {. Carter IS
paid for killing the River and Harbor
by making any deal within reason for
enough fusion votes to send him
back to Was hingtOn.
Addicks of Delaware, was wired
that his persistence in remaining in
the field meant the loss Of two Re.
publican Senators and he was direct
ed to get out II 10y this morning it be-
came apparent that his failure to do
so would result in the Legislature ad-
journing without making selections.
Assistant Secretary of War Miekle-
John was notified to remain in the
Nebraska fight only so long as it
might appear that Senators Platt
and Depew proposed to defeat the
confirmation of William Cary Sanger
whom Secretary Root desires as
Mieklejohn successor Should Platt

rather than risk Il quarrel with Pla,t
