MILLEDGEVILLE'S GROWTH
SHOWN BY FIGURES

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ca. April 9-It
seems almost certain that Milledgeville
will in the near future be advanced to a
second-class postoffice by the department
at Washington. This will place Milledge-
willie will in the front with other Georgia
towns and cities.
Mr.. James L. Sibley, postmaster of Mil
ledgeville, has examined the statistics
and finds that Milledgeville has grown
more in the last ten years than Macon,
Columbus, Rome. Albany, Thomasville or
Brunswick. These are the figures given
by Mr.. Sibley: Milledgeville gained $40 in
population, Rome 1874, Macon 526. Column
bus 81, Albany 600, Brunswick 622. Thorn
asyille lost 1872. Savannah showed a gain
of only LOSS. II Midway was included in
MilIedgeville's population her gain in
population would be relatively greater
than any city in Georgia.
These figures gathered by Postmaster
Sibley show that Milledgeville is making
a progress not guessed at by the rest of
the state.
The Daughters Of the COnfederacy will
celebrate Memorial Day in fitting man.
ner this year. Col. James c. Levy of
Columbus, will be the orator of the day.
Major A. II. Marchant has been elected
by the ladies marshal of the parade. The
ladies will on that day distribute a num-
Der of crosses Of honor among the vete-
rama. - -

THE Beers DO NOT
HOPE FOR PEACE

NEW YORK, April S.-There is little
faith among the Boer sympathizers here
that peace is imminent in South Africa,
says Tribune correspondent from The
Hague. Hearts are hardened n con-
sequence OF the conference held here and
at Utrecht, and the Boer ENJOYS and
refugees are asserting in a louder key
than ever that the war will last four
years longer, and that there can be no
peace without Independence. The cred
ulity OF the burghers In South Africa is
matched by the assumption of their
agents here that their deiiverance is COM
ing from England's foreign complica-
tons when there is not a cloud IN tine
sky.
When the three Boer commissioners
were sent to America It was assumed
that a good case would be made out Tor
an investigation OF the military conduct
OF the war and the shipment Of supplies
OF horses and mules from the United
States would be prohibited. These illu-
sions were dispelled when the delegates
returned, but a new fiction has been sup
piled. The Boer advocates are asserting
that England is fatally embarrassed by
her alliance with Japan, and certainly
will be drawn into a war of tremendous
magnitude in the far east. The Boer SYM
pathizers are consequently justifying an
indefinite continuance of guerrilla war
rare ana LOEeCdtliHB
umph Of the cause Of Independence, when
British troops cannot be spared from the
larger theatres OF European operations,
The Dutch were once the most astute
neutrals in the world. They are now
the most aggressive partisans. When the
radical government was in power the
ministers confessed that the future OF
Holland might be imperilled by the Bit
ter hostility displayed against England.
Some Of them were frightened by the
fact that Utrecht had become a base OF
operations against England, and that Mr..
Kruger had brought to Holland what
gold remained in the Transvaal treasury
and was using 1t for the purpose OF main
tanning hostile operations and promoting
foreign Intervention. They were charged
with lack of sympathy for the Beers
when they asserted that the presence Of
Mr.. Kruger kept Holland in state of
excitement and that Il would be a good
thing IL he were to leave the country.
Premier Kuyper's conservative govern
ment has been committed from the outset
to more active support OF the Boer
cause. but its bolt was shot when the
premier minister vaguely suggested the
expediency of granting the Boer agents
safe conduct to South Africa.

". J. BRYAN
CHANGES AT THE FEDERAL PRIs-
ON PROMOTES HIM AND MAKES
LIN. PETTYTHE- ASSISTANT
DEPUTY WARDEN.

A third cousin of William Jennings Bry-

the night watch. was made assistant dep
uty warden, while James B. Bryan, who
was then a guard at the prison, was ap-
pointed captain of the night watch, and
began his duties Monday night.
Mr. Bryan is a Kentucky man, and
stood an excellent examination when he
became a guard at the prison. He has,
since Ginning to this city, won the esteem
of his superiOrs, and his early promotion
to the captaincy of the night watch shows
that his official capacity is regarded as
being of the best.
Captain NJ. L. Petty, who was made as
sistant deputy warden. was formerly a
policeman of this city. and Eas III at the
time he was promoted FROM captaincy to
the position of assistant deputy warden.
Both of these gentlemen have made ex-
cellent records since becoming officers at

King Edward personally is said to be
strongly favorable to such a visit yet he
may be slow to establish a precedent
which hereafter might lead to trouble or

Then the fact that other European

The court official heretofore mentioned
points out that unless the prince can visit

Query addressed the citizens of Greene
at the courthouse yesterday for about
two hours.

as against lobbyism and curtain. work,
for prohibition and for Mr.. Query.

WIN. H. POPE IS
MADE JUDGE IN
PHILIPPINES
FORMER ATLANTA MAN HAS BEEN
MADE JUDGE OF THE COURT
OF FINAL RESORT IN
THE PHILIPPINES.

Mr.. VIM. H. Pope was Tuesday ap-
pointed by Governor Taft, to be one of
the judges OF the court of final resort of
the Philippine Islands. The position pays
salary of $500 year.
Judge Pope was born in South Carolina
but spent his boyhood and early manhood
in Atlanta. His parents died when he was
youngs and he lived in Atlanta with his
aunt, Mrs. Fuller. He went through the
grammar schools and high schools of At
lanta, taking first honor in all of his
classes. After graduating at the Boys
High school he entered the. Sophmore
class of the University of Georgia where
he also graduated with first honor.
After receiving his law license from the
University law school, he entered the law
offices of Mr.. Hoke Smith, and was con-
nected with his business until 1895. when
on account of the condition of his health,
1t being feared that he was threatened
with some lung trouble, he moved TO
Sana Fe, New Mexico. There his health
has been entirely restored. A few months
after reaching New Mexico. he was ap-
pointed assistant counsel for the govern
ment before the Mexican Land Grant
Court. His appointment came through
President Cleveland.
Judge Pope, while occupying the posi-
ton of representing the government in
the trial of cases before the Mexican
l.
record, that he was soon entrusted prac-
tically with the entire conduct Of the bus
mess of the government before this court,
and he argued most of the cases on APP
peal before the supreme court of the
United States.
His record was so good that he was con-
tinued i'm his position by the Mckinley
administration. and 1T was during Pres
ident McKinley's first term that he be-
came officially acquainted with Governor
Taft The department of justice about
four years ago was called on to appoint
an attorney for the Pueblo Indians, and
to this position also Mr.. Pope was as
signed by the department of justice. He
has since then not only conducted the
business of the government before the
Mexican Land Grand court, but has rep
resented the Pueblo Indians in their legal
matters in New Mexico.
Some months ago Governor Taft offered
Judge Pope position on the intermediary
court of the Philippine Islands which he
declined. The appointment made Tues
of the very high opinion Governor Taft
had formed of the ability, INDUSTRY, and
integrity of Air. Pope.
While living in Atlanta Mr.. Pope was
identified with the Central Presbyterian
church, and was an active leader in one
Of its. mission sunday schools. He had
been made deacon atsthe same time that
Mr.. John J. Eagan, Mr.. Beuleau Camp
bell, and several other young men were
elected deacons in the Central Presbyte-
rian church. The high position to which
he has been called is much appreciated
by his friends here who recognize IL is
the result of his pure Christian character,
and his attachments reached through
earnest, persistent application.

DEFENDANT IN CASE BEFORE
JUDGE WALL GROWS 5ELLIe-
ERANT-FINED $40 FOR
CONTEMPT.

' AUGUSTA, Ca, April 9.-In Judge
Walls court an incident happened which
was quite out of the ordinary and caused
quite a sensation. 1t was trivial case,
and the defendant was a white woman,
Mr.. S. b. Waugh, Esq, representing the
plaintiff, and Judge c. A. Picquet, the re-
corder, the defendant.
Attorney Vaughn was addressing the
court, when suddenly the defendant. TAX
ing offense at some remarks he made,
jumped toward him and landed a blow in
his face. This she followed up with two
swings at his neck, both of which landed,
before constable standing near could
pull her off. The judge fined her $40 for
contempt of court.
The attacked attorney generously fore
bore making a case against her, which re-
lieved her attorney from sitting as judge
in her case and imposing a fine on his
client for a violation of the city code.
