The New Workers had the famous
Twenty-third regiment of Brooklyn.
1t was the most impressive thing in the
whole outfit to me. This is one of the
crack militia regiments of the country,
excessively select in it's membership
and all that. yet it was the plainest and
most wOrkmanlike crowd in the parade.
Every man had on the plain blue uni

mental number burnt in it; tin cup

munition ready; blankets over his

crowd of curled society darlings-as
they were at home in off hours-could
have been picked up as it stood and
sent into the country for a forced
march without the change of button.
Which is business. A soldier who can
not do his work without changing his
clothes is only an imitation.
And the Rest.

BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT.
ARGUMENTS HEARD ON PUBLIC
PROPERTY FUND.

Nessrs. Washington Dessau and
Dupont Query of Macon Present
the Treasurer's side, With Ex-
chief Justice BIecixIey as Advisor.
Attorney General Terrell the Only
Fepresentative of the Governor.
Roth sides Ask for n Decision of
the constitutional Question
whether the Fund Can Be Used
Temporarily for Paying school
Teachers warrants.
Atlanta. MAY as.-The appeal brought
ov State Treasurer Park from the de-
cision rendered by Judge John S. Candief
upon the msndamus proceedings OF the
Governor of Georgia requiring him to pay
the state school teachers warrants out OF
funds now in the treasury, known as the
public property fund, was taken up by
the Supreme court OF the state at
o'clock this morning with a full bench
sitting.
The Supreme Court room was crowded
almost to overlooking by distinguished
lawyers and citizens from various parts
of the state, among them being a num-
Der of ladies. and clearly more interest
was manifested in the proceedings than
in any case recently argued before tie
august tribunal.
Hon Washington Dessau of Macon
opened the argument for Treasurer Park.
He was followed by Attorney General j.
NJ. Terrell for the state, and Hon. Du-
pont Query of Macon concluded for the
treasurer Ex-Chief Justice Logan f.
Bleckley appeared before the Supreme
Court in behalf of the treasurer, but only
prompted Mr. Gurery once or twice in his
argument Judge Bleekley made no oral
argument. but submitted a written one.
The arguments presented were practical
~ the same as those made before Judge
Gambler The attorneys on both sides
urged the Supreme Court to decide the
constitutional point at issue-whether the
public property fund can be even tenn
porarily used under the constitution for
the purpose of paying the school teach
ers' warrants.
Since Judge Gamblers decision 10000
more Of these warrants have become due
and it will be necessary to encroach on
the remaining portion Of the public prop
erty fund outside the $4,000 from the
Northeastern railroad IL all the warrants
are to be paid and If this fund can be
used.
During Mr.. Guerrys argument he ad-
mitted. on a question from Judge Lump
kin. that If the treasurer's contention is
correct, the treasurer cannot lawfully,
under the constitution. put the public
property fund money in the state depos-
itories and let it draw interest. 1t must
be kept intact in the treasury.
A decision in the case is expected with
in ten days or two weeks. Among the
visitors in the Suprme Court room during
the argument was Hon. F. G. duBignon
of Savannah.

Chairman of Railroad Commission
Has Something better In sight.
Atlanta, May 23.-Chairman r. c. Cren-
shaw Of the Georgia Railroad Commission
may resign his office within the next few
days. Colonel Crenshay made- this an
nouncement to-day. 1t is said the resig-
nation will not be handed in on account
of his recent utterances regarding the
Democratic party. but on account of a
new business venture in which Colonel
Crenshaw is bout to embark.
II has been reported at the Capitol for
several days that il was Mr.. Crenshaw' S
intention TO give up his once as chair
man Of the Georgia Railroad Commission
because he understood that his letters to
Senator McLaurin of South Carolina had
not met the approval of Gov. Gambler,
and the rest OF the State House officials.
This Mr.. Crenshaw denies. He says IL
he resigns it will be for another reason
altogether. that he has paid no attention
whatever to the criticisms which have
been heaped on him since his letters to
Senator McLaurin.
