WANTED TO SELL A LOT.

Atlanta News: Miss Adelaide Will
sou, learning that Secretary Shaw
was in the city, this morning proceed
ed in search for him. She found him
on the second floor of the government
building in company with Judge New
man, Col. Lowry, Postmaster Blodgett
and others. Without waiting for
formal presentation to the cabinet Of
fetal, she rushed into the group of
men, broke down the conversation as
she grabbed the hand of Secretary
Shaw and told her mission. She said:
Il have a lot out on the Boulevard
which is the best suited for the new
postoffice of any site in the city. l
have been four years trying to sell it
10 the government. Now l want you
ii come with me and see it," The
courteous Secretary of the Treasury
bowed politely and said: Lady, l am
sorry, but have no more time on this
trip TO look at property, but perhaps
i will come to Atlanta again and be
able to investigate your site" Miss
Wilson believed she had been discrim-
mated against and so expressed her
mind, continuing: Il demand that
you go out and see my lot, Mr.. Sec
retary" Secretary Shaw was pushed
into the elevator followed by the
other gentlemen, and the door was
closed quickly. As the car moved
upward Miss Wilson continued her
commands and denunciations and then
turned away in disgust, muttering
frenziedly.

Athens Printers Troubles With the
University Press.

Athens, Ga, March 25.-The differ
ences between the printers of Athens
and the University Press have not yet
been adjusted. The matter was brought
to the attention of the Athens Cham
Der Of Commerce a few weeks since in
the hope that there might be an arbi-
tration, but the University Press has
replied to the chairman of the Arb-
tration Committee that they have
nothing TO arbitrate and the matter is
now out of the hands of that body.
The printers of Athens have organ
lied a union and the first resolution
passed was one calling upon the trus-
tees of the University of Georgia to
cause the University Press to vacate
the rooms they occupy on the campus
or restrict their work purely to job
printing work for the university, and
keep out of the field of competition as
10 outside work.
Il is intimated that the matter will
be carried before the state tyDOgraph-
ical organization should all other eff
forts to adjust it fail. The claim of the
printers is that the University Press
has no right to occupy public buildings
gain, and that the printing that may
be necessary for the University of
Georgia should be let out by bids. To
these contentious the University Press
enters denial. The matter will be
brought to the attention of the uni
Versity trustees at their next session.

PAY FOR UPsoN GUARDS.

Attorney General John c. Hart has
rendered an important decision which
will be of general interest to the mill
tary all over the state. This opinion
is to the effect that where a military
command is ordered by the Governor
TO hold itself in readiness to respond
10 call on moments notice, and
therefore had to gather in it's armory,
1t is entitled to the payment of its ex-
penses at the prescribed rates, in spite
OF the regulation which says troops
snail not be paid for services when
called on to hold themselves in readI-
ness. The attorney general holds that
the order to be ready to respond at a
moments notice, supersedes the regu-
iatlon, and the Governor has the right
TO set aside the regulations at any
time. The Epson Guards We're called
on in this case by Governor Gambler.

HELD FOR MURDER.

Upon the evidence introduced at the
Gray inquest at Arbuckle's Ferry, it
was decided to hold Surrency under
the charge of murder although he
stoutly contends that he killed GRAY
in self-defense. 1t is reported that the
two men had some words, and that
Gray used epithets that Surrency de-
manded him to take back, and that
tne killing occurred just about that
time. According to some reports, Gray
had purchased a pistol on the day of
the tragedy, which he had with him
at the time of the trouble Reports
differ as to whether or not he used THE
weapon, one being to the effect
that when found one chamber of the
pistol had been discharged, and another
that the gun was still in the case and
had evidently never been taken out
