THE STATE is TO SUE
GAINESVILLE BANK

Governor Gambler has issued an order
appointing Smith, Hammond & Smith. OF
Atlanta, special attorneys for the state 10
sue the GAINESVILLE Savings Bank for the
sum of $3755.SS, the amount of money
which was in that institution, TO the credit
of Tax Collector John t. Hunt, of Pike
county, when IT failed last December.
On account of the failure of the institu-
ton Tax Collector Hunt was unable to
pay the state the balance due, and his
bondsmen, the United States Fidelity and
Guaranty Company of Baltimore. had to
make the amount good with the state.
Tax Collector Hunt was in nowise respon-
sibe for the failure of the bank, and now
the bond company through the state will
procee,. against the bank for the amount
which was deposited there by Tax Collec-
tor Hunt.
Smith, Hammond & Smith, the special
attorneys for the state. will be paid by the
bond company, and the state will in no
wise be responsible for fees. The suit will
be under the supervision of Attorney Gen
eral Wright, however. and If the money is
recovered the state has agreed to pay back
TO the bond company the amount it paid
the state, or to pay back such parts of 1t
as are recovered.

HAYES WANTS NEW
BANKING LAW IN GEORGIA

Hon =. II Halves. representative In the
legislature from Ebert county, was al the
capitol Friday discussing with several on
cials the advisability OF introducing a bill
In the coming legislature creating a de-
partment OF bank examining Mr.. Halves
has long been in favor OF such an idea.
and II IS understood that he viii introduce
and urge the passage OF such a measure
this year.
Mr.. Halves Is a prominent banker OF Ell
berton. and thinks that the state bank
examining laws are not what they should
be. At present the system Of bank exam
lining Is under the supervision OF the state
treasury department. and Mr.. Halves Is
OF the opinion that there should be a sep
arate department.
Last year the bill was introduced in the
house. but was never passed upon owing
TO the opposition 20 f. Mr.. Halves has
discussed the matter with several legisla-
tors. and says he find that many OF them
agree with him that such a department
snould be created.
According 70 Mr.. Halves. the creation OF
such department would not involve any
extra expense 70 the state. but a reduc-
tion in expenses and his law would simply
mean taking the system now I'm use from
the treasury department and creating a
new department with new laws regard
ing examination

WILLIAMSON ALSO
DECLINES TO RUN
FOR JUDGE,
FORSYTH MAN SAYS He WILL NOT
BE IN THE RACE FOR THE
SUPREME COURT
JUDGEsHIP.

Julian Williamson. of Forsyth. who an
nounced for the supreme court some time
ago, has issued a statement in which he
says he viii not be candidate for the
judgeship. He says:
From time to time recently there have
appeared in the papers of the state ref
erenceS to my proposed candidacy for
associate justice of the supreme court.
When the first publication Of that char
acter appeared / had the matter under
consideration but more than week
ago I determined not to make the race.
l thought that in the absence of formal
announcement that ! would not be con-
sidered in the race and my connection
with 1t cease. I find however, that the
press continues to refer to me as can
didate, or possible candidate. and that I
am continually in receipt of communica-
tions from various portions of the state
making inquiries and pledging me sup
port.
I therefore ask you to make generally
public through the columns of your pa
per- my determination not to run; and
to extend to those throughout the state
who have manifested their interest in
many ways in my proposed candidacy
my cordial thanks. Very respectfully,

FROM PENSACOLA
TO SOUTH AFRICA
STEAMSHIP LINE WILL SOON BE
ESTABLISHEC-SEVERALS SHIPS

PENSACOLA. Fla. Sept. 25.-The state
ment is authorized that in a short time
a regular steamship line viii be inaugu-
rated between Pensacola and South At
RIGA. bi-monthly sailing now being in
prospect. One and the first steamship
will arrive next month for early Novem-
Der sailing and two steamships, which
will be employed on the line. are now I'M
der construction in British shipyards and
are now nearing completion.
c. w. Hagerman, who will be local rep
resentative said that the new steamers
will be of a net register of 5000 tons
each and will be used expressly for the
newly projected line. Names selected for
the new vessels are the Rosewood and
''Pinewood."
1t is learned that the main object in
establishing the line will be for the pur-
pose of transporting live stock to South
Africa to stock the Boer farms which had
become neglected and devastated during
the late war with the mother country.
General cargoes will be sent on every
ship and while but three vessels are so
far under charter. 1t is readily stated that
as business requires. additional ships will
be put on.
A few months ago the British steamship
Vermont was loaded with cattle and
horses here as an experiment the destin-
alton being the Transvaal 1t was then
predicted that, on account of its superb
shipping facilities, this place would be-
come a great point for shipping live stock.
The test proved highly gratifying and It
was decided to put on regular vessels.

VENEZUELA is ANXIOUS THAT
NOTHING SHALL OCCUR TO
MAR THE GOOD FEELING BE-
TWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES

WILLEMsTADT, Sept. 26-Details have
been received here of the closing of the
incident from the action of the Vene-
zuelan warship Restaurador In hoisting
the American flag, approaching Ciudad
Boliver, under those colors and then OPEN
ing fire on the town.
1t was through United States Consul
Goldschmidt, at LaGuaira, that the news
was transmitted to Minister Bowen, at
Caracas, and the latter, after obtaining
confirmation OF the report, called on the
foreign minister, Senior Lopez Baralt. pre-
sented the case to him and obtained his
promise that satisfaction would be ac-
corded by Venezuela after the matter had
been investigated by the Venezuelan au-
thorities.
About sixteen hours later the govern
rnent of Venezuela, through the foreign
minister, expressed its regret at the oc-
currence and orders were forwarded to
the commander of the Restaurador to
hoist the American flag and salute II.
At o'clock Thursday the foreign war
ships at anchor of LaGuaira were sur
prised, the whole matter having been
kept secret to see the Restarador hoist
the Stars and Stripes and then fire a
salute of twenty-one guns. Never before
has the Venezuelan government acted so
promptly and so satisfactorily as the re-
suit of diplomatic presentations and It
emphasizes Venezuela's desire TO main
tain the most friendly relations with the
United States.
The Americans at Caracas are praising
Mr.. Bowen for so quickly bringing about
a settlement of the affair which at one
time promised to assume serious phase.

CELEBRATES HIS
s SEVENTY-SIxTH BIRTHDAY

Major j. w. Warren, one of the secre-
taries of the executive department, cele-
brated HIS seventy-sixth birthday We'd
nesday Very few people knew of the an
niversary of the majors birth and it only
became generally known at the capitol
Friday and since that time the venerable
secretary has been heartily congratulated.
On January u. 1872. during the admins
tration of Governor Smith, Major War
rem was appointed secretary of the execu-
tive department and for thirty-twO years.
nearly thirty three, he has been retained
in that capacity. Every administration
has appointed him and he has always
been held in the highest regard by the
state house officers.
Major Warren is personally acquainted
with every prominent man in Georgia, and
knew personally all of the prominent
men in the days long passed. His con-
nection with the state government put
him in a position to meet all the Georgia
celebrities, and he has never failed to
make a friend.
Although seventy-six years of age Ma
tor Warren is hale and hearty and has
entirely recovered from a stroke of pa
ralysis which he suffered some time ago.
He still continues his duties as secre-
tary and accomplishes as much work as
any man in tho office Of Governor Can
dler. He has been a faithful man to the
state and is thoroughly acquainted with
every detail of the department with which
ne has been connected for so many years.
He VIII be reappointed as secretary by
Governor ]. NJ. Terrell on October 18th.
The many friends of Major Warren hope
that he will continue in good health and
that he will be able TO perform his duties
for years to come.

JUDGE JOHN GAMBLER REPLIES
TO JUDGE ROSS INTERVIEW

In speaking OF the interview Of Judge
Ross. OF Macon. Judge John S. Gambler
said:
II have no doubt but that IT will be
necessary to resign my commission as a
Judge of the superior courts of this state
after next Wednesday. So far as 1 have
been able TO ascertain after diligent in
quiry, no judge of the superior courts Of
this state ever resigned his commission
to enter upon a race for judge OF the su-
preme court.
THE Honorable T. ]. Simmons. now the
chief Justice of our supreme court. ran
for Judge Of the supreme court, and re-
tanned his seat on the superior court
bench of the Macon circuit until after he
was elected.
THE presiding justice. the honorable
Samuel Lumpllin. ran his race for SUI
preme bench and only resigned after
his election. his position as judge Of the
superior courts Of the northern circuit
The Honorable William III. Fish ran for
Justice OF the supreme court before the
people while holding his position of judge
of superior court Of the southwestern cir
cult. AT the same time that Judge Fish
was first elected there were three other
Judges OF the superior courts of the state
who were active candidates for the SUI
preme court and none of them thought
that TO ask a promotion from the su-
perior court bench 10 the supreme court
bench was in any way violation of the
prophecies. Chief Justice Hiram Warner,
Judge Martin ]. Crawford, Judge A. NJ.
Speer in their day all went on the su-
preme court bench direct from the superb
or court, and no man ever before question
ed the propriety of their conduct"

NEW YORK, Sept. pa special to The
World from Portland, Me-, says $500. 900
is the key which will unlock the mystery
of the north pole. So says Lieutenant
Robert e. Peary. He arrived here last
night with Mrs. Peary and their young
daughter, Marie. He was warmly vel
coined to the place of his nativity.
= Expressing keen disappointment at his
inability to reach the goal which has al

Two hundred thousand dollars will do It.
For this amount could keep a party in
the north ten years. and follow my orig
inal plan for marching by stages to the
pole. A good Ship plenty of time and
sufficient money Will do It,"
From the fact that wealthy Americans,
at least one of whom was a millionaire,
have furnished financial backing for sew
eral of the expeditions which have set
out to find the north pole. the opinion uni
Versally prevails that physical inability
and not money was the barrier between

II am confident it is in the ocean. that

Lieutenant Peary's foot, which was
frozen, is doing well, and he believes he
may be able to dispense with an opera

died here year ago. He will leave for
Washington on Friday with his wife and
daughter.
