LONG HAS BEEN SELECTED.
His Statue To Be Placed in the Hall
of Fame

Georgia's commission on statuary hall
met i'm the library at the state capitol
Tuesday and selected Or. Crawford w.
Long as one Of the Georgians whose
statue should be placed In statuary hall
at Washington. DIR Longs Iame met
with no opposition as he is universally
considered Georgia's most famous son
from the fact that he was the discoverer
of anaesthesia.
There was considerable discussion as
to which other of Georgias sons should
be thus honored. The name of General
Oglethorpe was presented. but II was ar
gued that since he was neither born in
Georgia nor died here that he could not
be called a Georgian.
The name of General John II. Gordon
was also presented but according to the
provision of the statute I'm regard to the
hall. the statue of no living man can be
placed in the hall. Ii Is thought that
this is one reason why the commission
deferred action on the second man. Cen
eral Gordon Is one of Georgias most
honored and beloved sons, and the fact
that his name was mentioned shows
that he is thus considered.
Alexander III. stephens was also men,
toned as one worthy OF the honor.

be a revival OF the bitter controversy
which so many years ragged over this
question and was carried to the halls of
congress.
Boston claims this honor for one of he-
sons and there stands in the public garden

ing the presidents stay at Oyster Bay,

sion as to some features Of ii. He stated
that there would be no elaborate office es-

raphers. Arrangements have been about
concluded for use OF two rooms in the
bank building for office purposes, and IL
will be there that the president will trans
act business when he comes into town.
Both the president and his secretary have
planned TO make their brief holiday as
restful as possible and to that end Will
transact In Oyster Bay only the most i'm
mediate public business. Everything else
will be transmitted 10 Washington for
attention there. either by the regular
white mouse force or, in cases where other
action is required. by the various depart
ments. This is in accordance with the
practice which has been followed sue
cessfully duriag the previous summers.
The president will not receive delegations
and hopes to nave all matters intended

TROY RELIEVED OF BIG DEBT
Case Involving 100000 Against
Alabama Midland Is Decided.

Troy. Ala. July Especial 1.-THE SUI
preme court has handed down n decision
that makes a number OF Troyans happy.
II involves about $eoo.OoO In favor Of
Troy people. The case is of ten years
standing I'm which the Alabama Midland
railroad sued these men 10 make them
pay notes they gave 10 help build tho
Alabama Midland road. The road was
not completed according to the condi-
lions and the money was not paid over
The subscriptions of the Troy people
were what saved the road-for nothing
else was there that could be done till
they came to the rescue.
Judge Jones. of the United States
court. has also rendered a decision Of
great Importance. This decision is the
one against the city Of Troy and in
favor of the bondholders IN which the
latter came into possession of the water
works system. The bondholders some
time ago asked for a receiver for the
water works, as the interest had been
unpaid FOR some time.
The city of Troy set up the claim that
the bonds covered only that part of the
water works which was constructed
with the proceeds Of the first S50,0o
worth Of bonds issued, which was spent
in sinking a well and laying the piping.
The well was "a failure and the money
WAS exhausted. The legislature then
granted the privilege To issue S30.000 moro
bonds to extend the system to the coun-
try about miles Ia spring from which
the present supply of water is now taken.
The suit recently decided by Judge Jones
settles the point that the mortgage COW
ers the entire plant.
So now there win he a receiver ap-
pointed. Mayor Henderson had sought
TO refund the bonds at a lower rate
of interest. hut the bondhOlders stub
bornly refused 10 listen to him and
would consent 10 nothing but a pay
ment of the defaulted interest or a re-
ceivcr for the property.
