Macon News: Mr.. John DOrmand
and his company, now playing at
Crump's Park, will, on oct. 8. put on
at the Academy of Music a play that
will portray the famous poker game
that was broken up by Judge Curry
short time ago at the Wigwam. Judge
Curry imposed fine on all of those
who took part in the game and the
scene was most dramatic. He had come
from Jackson for the purpose, and
when he thought the game of poker
was ripe to pull he told his baiHffs to
go ahead. They came in with big pis-
tolls. and in far Western style told the
players to throw up their hands. Those
who did not hold a pair had no kick

NOT TO APPOINT MRS. ATKINSON

Atlanta News: Regarding the ap-
pointment of state librarian, Gov.
Gambler stated to-day that he did not
see how he would be able to appoint
a woman to that position, as it should
be filled by a man. This statement
from the Governor would indicate that
Mrs. w. Y. Atkinson will not be APP
pointed to the position. The many
friends of Mrs. Atkinson throughout
the state were confident that she would
receive the appointment, but the Gov
ernor stated almost positively that a
woman would not be librarian to sue
coed Mr.. Brown. There is only one
position that a woman can hold in
Georgia, that of state librarian, and
the law ought to be changed regard
ing that. The duties of librarian are
for man and not for a woman" said
the Governor. Are you going to APP
point a woman he was asked II do

which he now proposes to do in his
laboratory in Science Hall When he
has completed this work, he is satisfied
that he viii be able to announce sew
eral practical results. DR.. Herty's
aim is to establish better rules for the
cutting of timber in South Georgia
and the turpentine belt so as to length
en- the lives of the turpentine- bearing
trees, and prevent their wholesale de-
struction, which is being brought
about by the present careless methods.
Another object is to devise a better
more thorough and more economical
method of distillation. DR.. Herty has
received much encouragement from
leading factors in the turpentine in
dustry. who look upon his work as be-
ing of the greatest Importance to
them and their interests.

Mr.. McKinIey's Inaugural.

In his inaugural address Mr.. Mcl<in-

statement when we remember that the
congress that has just adjourned found
it necessary to provide for large
standing army and to appropriate mil
lions of dollars for the expenses of our
army and navy.
Mr.. Mckinley said that one of his
aims was ''to preserve, protect and de-
fend the constitution of the United
States" This is another interesting
statement when we remember that in
all our history 10 president has more
frequently violated the constitution
than Mr.. Mckinley has.
| Mr.. Mckinley said: sour Institutions
will not deteriorate by extension, and
our sense of Justice will not abate un-
der tropic sun in distant seas" Now,
if this statement were worth being
made. it was because the Mckinley
administration proposed to extend
'our institutions" to "tr0pic suns in
| distant seas" AS matter of fact
however, the Mckinley policy eNplic-
lily con travenes the notion that "our
institution" follow our flag, or that
the people living under "tropic suns
in distant seas" are to have the bene-
fit of ''our institutions. How absurd
therefore, is it for man in Mr. Nc,

Of 200 men to begin the mammoth task
he has undertaken for the Chicago
company. for whom he is chief engi-

Burlington, is graduate of the high
school and later of Ann Arbor univer-
sity, and of engineering schools. He
has already had charge of several engi-
neering jobs of Importance, among
them the building of the Cascade
bridge at Burlington, the construction
| of the monster passenger train sheds
| of the Milwaukee & ST. Paul road at
Minneapolis, and the building of two
| bridges over the drainage canal.
Speaking of the plans for the raising OF
| the Maine from the Havana harbor MT.
| Raikes said:-
THE raising of the Maine to the practi-
| cal engineer seems to be quite simple. We
intend to build a cofferdan about the
wreck, then pump the water from around
| her. After that, our task will be no more
difficult than in handling any other biz
piece of machinery. 1 will take 200 mer

more interested and more patriotic in 8
work of this kind than the men of othel

asked the council to condemn the
