A WEAK CANDIDATE
Southern Congressman Declare
Cleveland Would Be.

From the Macon News.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Atlanta Journal propounded the
/ following question yesterday to num-
Der of southern senator's:
81. II New York presents Cleveland
in 1904 will he be- acceptable to the
south?
~ Can you name stronger candi-
date?"
Senator Bacon replied as follows:
The principal difficulty would be the
third term issue. Cleveland has many
bitter opponents in Georgia, but he is
also very strong in many sections, es-
pecially in the business cenUers. Geor.
| gia will undoubtedly give her electoral
vote TO the democratic nominee, assum'
| ing that the party would not nominate
any body unworthy. | think Cleveland
would be very strong in the country,
because he would draw all gold demo-
Gratis and many republicans.
The following answers were made
by Senators Clay, PetJus, Bailey and
Overman:
Senators Clay, of Georgia-The
people of Georgia don't favor their
senators discussing sucn supJects ior
them so far in advance. Personally,
| favor straight democrat.
Senator Pettus, of Alabama be-
lieve Alabama would never vote for
Cleveland nomination, but will vote
for the nominee.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama am
opposed to Mr.. Cleveland because
third term would DO the issue, and
Mr.. Cleveland could nor carry the
south. l am not naming any other
candidate.
MIR. Bailey, OF Texas-The south
does not favor Mr.. Cleveland's nomi.
nation. | couldn't name a weaker
candidate.
MIR. Overman, of North Carolina
North Carolina would not vote for
Cleveland in the convention, but would
support him if nominated. There are
many stronger men.
Among those queried was Represent
alive Griggs of Georgia, chairman OF
the democratic congressional cam
paign committee. He said cleveland
would not be acceptable to Georgia or
any other southern state" 1t will be
seen that the distinguished congress-
man from the second district does not
confine his opinion TO Georgia, but
applies it to the entire south.

SCIENCE HALL IN ASHES.
State Losses Building and Entire
Equipment.

Thursday night science hall, on the
campus of the University of Georgia,
at Athens. was totally destroyed by
fire.
The fire originated from the furnace
on the basement floor and ate its way
almost to the top of the building be
fore it was discovered.
The building was erected by an ap-
preparation of the legislature in 1897
and cost S23, 900. The equipment con
sisted of the illogical laboratory and
the chemical laboratory and other class
room fixtures. The entire equipment
is thought to have been worth $40, 900,
making the entire loss $4,000. On
this there was only S25, 900 insurance.
The effect upon the university will
be quite disastrous. The classes in
the departments of biology, chemistry.
ethics, psychology and chemical
laboratory are all thrown out with
very little of the recitation room to
accommodate them.

PLAN TO IMPROVE TIE POSTAL SERVICE
- t...d,a Raos Government Authorities to Assume
RESPONSIBILITIES for Packages ntrusted to Employees Oh
Railroads Protection Against Violence

Postmaster General Payne has de
cided on an important step which will
practically put the railroads Of the
country under the protection of the
United States government and prevent
interference with interstate commerce
by strikers, says a Washington special
to the Chicago Tribune. This will be
accomplished by making every railroad
train a mail train and by commission
ing railroad conductors, baggage mas
tiers and other trainmen as employees
of the United States postal service and
empowering them to handle mails.
The agitation which really led TO the
adoption of the new pAicy has been
growing for several years and is the
result of the tremendous growth of the
rural free delivery service. This serv-
ice has resulted in more than Quadru-
ping the circulation Of newspapers
throughout the country in the period
of six years.
Protests were received at the DEPART
ment from the entire country regard
ing the inefficiency of the mail train
service. Officials have endeavored to
devise a means of relief. After long
consideration it was thought impossi-
BILE to arrange any plan which would
prove satisfactory to the government,
railroads, publishers of newspapers
and the millions of subscribers. The
fact that the government requires all
mails to pass through the post offices
and handles them only in sealed pouch
es was the greatest drawback to the
quick service desired and, in fact, to
the sending Of United States mails on
any except mail trains.
The postal officials declined to enter
into an agreement whereby they would
be responsible for mails not carried in
closed pouches and handled by sworn
employees. Nothing was done until
Mr.. Shallenberger gave the matter his
personal consideration and devised a
new plan. 1t is really an application
of the system used by the publishers Of
newspapers in sending out their mail
editions. 1t has been the practice Of
publishers to intrust bundles of papers
