ALBANY WAS EASY.
Visitors Went to Pieces in Second
Inning and Lost to Dawson
by a Score Is to 2.

The easiest victory of the season
was won by Dawson Friday when it
crossed bats with Albany. Martins
good pitching, Dawson's excellent
work and AlbanV's many errors tell
the story of q score OF 13 to 2. in favor
of Dawson.
The game opened up with Albany at
the bat and the team succeeded in
scoring once, Brown circling the bases
for the first and what looked for a
long while like the last time. 1t was
in the ninth inning that the same
player succeeded in adding one run to
the forlorn tally which marked the
Albany score sheet.
The battery work for Dawson was
done by Martin and Foreman, who
were largely responsible for Dawson's
victory. Martin yielded only one hit,
struck out six men, gave one base on
balls ana hit one, which is one OF the
finest records of slab work to his cred
it. Harry Query was in the box and
Hester behind the bat for Albany.
Query, who is an old Dawson boy,
pitched fairly good game, and no
doubt would have done better but for
the misera BILE support given him. He
gave up nine hits, struck out five men
and hit one.
The two teams will probably meet
again in short time, but Albany will
have to add considerably to its team
work to make any showing in the con-
test.

CASE ARGUED
Judge Heard Counsel on the
Masters Findings.

The Dawson wAterworks case was
argued before Judge Pardee 10 the
circuit court of the United States in
Atlanta Friday Attorneys M. G.
Edwards and ]. A. LANG of this city
and Dupont Guerry of Macon were
present to represent the interests of
Dawson, and Messrs. John l. Hall and
Olin J. Wimberly of Macon represent
ed the waterworks company. Oral
arguments were made by both of the
attorneys for the water company and
BY Colonel Query for Dawson.
The case was referred some time ago
TO w. A. Wimbish of Atlanta as mas
ter in chancery, and the city appealed
from his findings to the circuit court.
1t will probably be several weeks be-
fore Judge Pardee renders decision.
Whatever that decision may be the
case will be appealed to the supreme
court OF the United States unless a
settlement is effected in the meantime,
which is hardly likely.

ties Investigated of Commissioners VIII Meet Again
Monday and Further Consider the Local Road Question:

coryicts. A large percentage OF the
roads of Baldwin county have beer
made sufficiently wide and are in ex
cellent condition as TO surface work
but very little is being done TO make
the grades easier. The system has
been in operation il Baldwin about
SIX years, and seems to be satisfactory.
In Randolph county they employ
free labor, and have been at work
about a year and half. They have
certainly done well, and should they
make like progress for the next eigh-
teen months they will have good roads.
Randolph county has GIG miles OF
roads, and has worked them over from
| one to three times, except about %
miles. 1t has cost the county the
past year between $4,000 and $4,000
to maintain the system in vogue there.
The trip of the Dawson party to
Randolph county had several pleasant
social features connected with it, and
the visit was one of much pleasure.
Officials of the county and citizens of
Cuthbert gave the visiting delegation
a warm welcome, and did everything
possible to contribute to their enter
tainment and pleasure.
They were met at the depot in Cnth-
bert by Ordinary Taylor, Mayor Sea-
ley, Messrs. John D. Gum, N. M.
Weaver, r. D. and Mercer Gay and
taken several miles into the cOun-
try, where a practical demonstration
of road building was Witnessed and
careful inspection of the machines and
methods made. After returning to
town the party repaired to the home
of Judge Taylor, where they enjoyed
the hospitality of that genial official
and his family at dinner.
Later in the afternoon they were
driven over the beautiful and thriving
little city. Part of the party took
supper with MIR. Weaver and the re.
mainder with Mr.. Gum, whose de-
lightful hospitality was heartily en-
joved and appreciated.

Friday Commissioners Christie, Rob

by Ordinary J. W. Roberts and the ed

n A. Cook was the only commissioners
who did not go on the trip, being pre-

Chairman Christie has called
meeting of the board for next Monday,
when the question will again be taken
up by the commissioners and plans
discussed and devised for inaugurating
a new system of road working.
Mr.. Christie informs The News that
ne spent about two days each in Spald-
ing and Baldwin counties, and found
that they both employ convict labor
only on their roads.
Spalding county has been operating
the new system about twelve years and
has vastly improved its roads, but has
done very little grading; neither have
majority of the roads been sufficiently
widened. The county has about 800
miles of roads, and has spent about
1000 working then the last four

roads in about eight months, the other
four months of the year being devoted

The system seems to be very satisfac-

Baldwin county has only 3l5 miles of
roads, but is spending so per cent more
money than Spalding on its roads.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. June 1.-THE
labor situation was the principal matter
under consideration at the meeting of the
United States Potte g Association, held
this morning The sessions last all day.
The organization is composed Of manu-
facturers of sanitary wares and dinner,
tea and toilet ware throughout the country.
Heretofore questions affecting, wages OF
operatives were handled by the manu-
facturers located in the East and West
independently. AS the operatives are all
organized in one brotherhood, it was de-
cided that the interests OF the industry
required uniformity Of action by the manu-,
facturers upon all questions where general
nous decision was arrived at covering the
entire trade Of the country.
No disposition was shown to reduce
wages. The manufacturers will treat with
unions as in the past. in free and frank dis
cussion of all questions brought to their
attention. but it was the sentiment OF the
meeting that conditions at this time would
not warrant further advance.

COURTS CAN'T MAKE DEACONS.
II the Church Drops Deacon tie stays
Dropped.

Supreme Court Justice Blan chard re-
fused yesterday to give Montague Wal
dron writ of mandamus directing the
Baptist Temple (colored>, of which the
Rev. James H. Gordon is pastor, to restore
him to membership in the board .of deacons,
from which Waldron says he was dropped
without a trial. Waldron lives at 2ll West
Sixty-first street and was deacon Of the
Baptist Temple for several years He
get up that he should not have been expelled
without hearing at which he could vim
dictate himself, and that the bylaws OF
the church were drawn with the object Of
retaining rather than Furnishing.
The church corporation replied that he
had had every opportunity for reclama-
ton before his expulsion was decided on,
II was also contended that he was member
of the spiritual and not Of the corporate
body of the church. and that the courts
have no jurisdiction over the spiritual
body.
Justice Blanchard npholds this view,
adding that he did not think that Waldron
had made out case, against either the
corporate or the spiritual body, calling for
his intervention. What the charges against
Walciron were did not develop on the argu-
ment.
