EXECUTIVE OFFICE
WILL NOT Be
MOVED
TERRELL SAYS THE PUBLISHED
INTERVIEW WITH HIM WAS
ENTIRELY CONTRARY
TO WHAT HE SAID.

Hon. ]. NJ. Terrell VIII not move the
executive offices from their present loca-
ton in the capitol TO the office now occu-
pied by School Commissioner Glenn as
has been reported. Mr.. Terrell says that
the report is entirely erroneous and when
approached about the matter last Sat
urday he stated that he would not move.
Contrary to his expectations. however. an
interview appeared with him stating that
he did intend to move.
Il was also stated that all arrange
ments had been made for the removal ana
that measurements had been made for the
Encouragement of Commissioner Glenns
Office to suit the next chief executive.
This is also erroneous, as Mr.. Terrell says
the first information he had about meas
urements was when he read about II sat
urday afternoon.
1T is true" said Mr.. Terrell. that
would like 10 move. but there is no office
TO which I can move. The office OF the
state school commissioner cannot be ar
ranged to secure the necessary room need
ed BY the executive office. / do not intend
TO move the executive offices and so
stated Saturday morning when / was ap-
preached about the matter and 1 was
greatly surprised when I read that had
announced that I would move. The re-
port is entirely erroneous so far as my
moving the offices Is concerned, ana as
I said before do not intend to move.
other capitol officials were much amused
at the published report that the execu-
tive offices were to be changed as soon
as Mr.. Terrell was inaugurated as Gov
ernor and that extensive measurements
had been made preparatory TO the NOV
ing. Nr. Terrell will be quartered in the
present offices when he is inaugurated

CONTRACT OF I845
CAUSES LAW SUIT
HEIRS OF JOHN AND WILLIAM
SKINNER SUE AUGUSTA FOR
BRIDGES ACROSS CANAL.

AUGUSTA, Ga. Sept. 3.-The enforce
ment OF an old contract which had been
pigeon holed for over half century bids
fair to involve this city in litigation.
When the Augusta canal was first built
away back I'm 1916, John and William Skin
ner owned a part OF the right of way
which was acquired by the city. but in
the contract making the transfer il was
stipulated that the city should construct
and keep I'm proper repair two substantial
bridges across the canal. This was never
done. probably because IL wasn't neces-
sary and not insisted on for that reason.
There is no road across the canal. and a
bridge were one there. would never be
used except perhaps by some hunter or
fisherman sometimes.
The fulhllment of the terms OF their con-
tract is now demanded by the heirs and
assigns OF the SKinncrs. and they have
employed counsel TO contest for their le-
gal rights I'm the matter. The city is not
likely 10 build two costly and useless
bridges. and so the matter will probably
get into the courts.

EARLY

Hon. J. NJ. Terrell will be inaugurated
as governor Of Georgia a week earlier

years past for the governor to be inau-
gurated on the Saturday following the

Saturday comes this year on October 25.
The general election day is always the
first Wednesday in October. This year the
first day of October comes on Wednesday

"ALIEN IMMERsIoN;"
WHAT 1T MEANS

Alderman NJ NJ. WEIGH. a prominent
Baptist, when asked this morning to de-
fine "alien baptism" said:
Allen baptism, as the Baptists under
stand 1t, is the receiving into the Baptist
church of members who have been nap-
tized or immersed into other faiths. but
who have withdrawn their letter from
that church and Joined the Baptist church,
without being again baptized.
"As 1 understand it, some Of the church,
es are receiving into their membership
people who have been immersed In other
churches. Presbyterians or Methodist
who have been baptized by the pastors
of those churches, are allowed to Join
churches practicing alien baptism with
out further baptism, but by merely with
drawing their letters from the original
church and entering them in the Bapast
church.
This Is most commonly practced with
the members Of the Christian church, cali
ed by some the Campbellites, but incor-
rectly so.
This church baptizes its members as
a sign OF the remission Of sins, but the
Raptist church baptizes its members mere
ly as a sign Of obedience. Members Of the
Christian church are allowed TO enter
some Baptist churches without another
baptism. This is, as understand II, aim
baptism"

COTTON
CROP FALLS
SHORT
THE GOVERNMENT REPORT
SHOWS AN AVERAGE BELOW
THAT OF THE LAST TEN
YEARS.
WASHINGTON, SEPT. Sewerage
condition of cotton on August &c Is 81.


WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-The monthly
report Of the statistician of the depart
ment of agriculture. issued at noon to-
day. shows the average condition of cotton
August 26 to have been 81, as compared
with S1.9 on July %. IA on August "a, 1901.
So on September l, 1900, and ten year
average of 1871.
The present unprecedented low averages
of condition, which is two-tenths Of
point lower than the condition on Sept /,
1896, is due maily to the reports from Tex
as and Alabama, in both of which states
the prevailing conditions are nothing less
than disastrous.
The average for Texas is points lower
than at the corresponding date in 1895 and
1901 and is the lowest ever reported for
that state. In Alabama also the crop is
the poorest ever known: Georgia reports
points below its ten year average, the
condition figures are one point below the
corresponding averages in 1899 and 1900.
The condition in Louisiana is the same
as in September, 1900, or six points below
its ten year average. Mississippi reports
points below it's ten year average but it's
condition is still eight points above that at
the corresponding date in 1900. South Car
DINA is within one point Of it's ten year
average, and North Carolina, Tennessee
and Arkansas are two points, seven points
and one point above their respective ten
year averages.
There are general complaints of the
premature opening and imperfect devel-
opment of bolls and from South Carolina

ing among the most unfavorable-the

A GOOD GUESSER.

An elderly woman with an impede
ment in her speech had troubles of her
own at the corner of Twelfth and Wal
nut streets yesterday afternoon AS
each car came out Walnut street she
would stop it and say to the conductor:
Observation-Disclosures th-this kuk-kuk-
car gug-gug-gO-' At this juncture,
and sometimes before, the conductor
woud impatiently eXclaim: mo; take
the next car" Then he would pull the
strap and the car would go ahead,
leaving the woman at the crossing.
There are fire different lines passing
out Walnut at this point and If the
woman could read the signs she dis
regarded them. Finally a conductor,
more considerate than the others, help
ed her aboard and allowed her to eX-
plain afterward. After three blocks
had been traversed he found that she
wanted to go to Darby, and his was a
Darby car. When she learned this she
beamed her joy. "Yuh- young
man. she said, "yuh-yuh-you're a gug-

ARE TOO SUPERIOR y
FRENCHMAN CRITICISES AMERI-
CON WOMEN
Says Culture Of Sexes Should be More
Even-Lack of Such Education Check
to Marriage.

NJ. Hughes lie RouX, the French lee
turer and author, who has been brought
to the United States by the University
of Chicago and the Alliance Francois OF
Chicago, recently made a sharp thrust
at social conditions in America. In his
first lecture NJ. le RouX declared that
the tendency at present is to make wo-
men superior to men in culture and
education and so unfit them for associa-
ton with the large mass of mankind
who spend their lives in work.
THE conditions have been in France
as they are in the United States today"
said NJ. lie RouX. such that women be-
come the superiOrs of men in culture
and intellect. As a result there is ten
dency for the women to consider them
selves and be regarded, as queens in
society, while the men, in their rela-
lions with women, are little more than
mere cOnsOrts. The cause of this is not
far to seek. In the United States most
men work when they are 16 or a trifle
older, while most of the women can
spend the time until they are 25 in seek
ing education and culture"
rs it a good thing that the women
should be superior TO the men? There
il certainly something out of order The
culture of both the men and the women
should be more nearly even. When wo-
men become superior to men, they come
in contact with and segregate them
selves in clubs while the men are left
to their own concerns The women be-
come aristocrats and he men demo-
Gratis.
This condition of affairs explains
why so many young men are saying
nowadays that they cannot afford to
marry The women they might marry
are above them and not willing nor
fitted to take up duties of a home life
where work is required of them"
The hope that men would become
equal in culture to women was express
ed by NJ. lie RouX. He said a counter
tendency was in operation which would
bring this about
