WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-postmas
ter General Payne has made the fol
lowing statement explaining the rea
sons for refusing to name a Mississippi
postofIice in honor OF the governor OF
that state:
"On the 9th of May, 1904, a petition
was filed With the department asking
for the establishment eta ~postotlice al
a certain point in Calhoun county, In
the state Of Mississippi, and requesting
that 1t be named Vardaman.
Immediately the usual investigation
made by the department as to the ne
cessity for the establishment of the of

curry a copy of the Daily Clarion
Ledger, a newspaper published at
Jackson, Miss, dated Aug. %, 1903,
was filed with the department contain
ing an article to which the depart
ment's attention was called. The arti
Gle was a copy of an editorial printed
In the Commonwealth under date of
Jan. 10, 1903, which paper is published
and edited by Governor Yardaman.
Tho article in question was SC. vile and
indecent in its statements concerning
the mother of the president of the
United States rs to be unfit for repro
duction.
'The postmaster general did not
deem it proper to give a postoffice the
name of any man who had used such
language regarding any woman. The

proposed postofices. lie has never

among others by the parties interested
in that neighborhood.

MARBLE SHAFT TO A NEGRO.

The city of Columbus, Ca, has
erected a marble monument over
the grave of Bragg Smith, the
negro laborer who lost his life last
September while attempting to
save the life of Superintendent of
Public Works Robert l.. Johnson
1t is Of the finest Georgia and
Vermont marble. The monument
is inscribed on one side as follows
Erected by the city of Columbus
to mark the last resting place of
Bragg Smith, who died on Septem-
Der 30, 1908, in the heroic Lut
fruitless effort to rescue the city
engineer from a caving excavation
on Eleventh street." On the other
side are the lines:
Honor and shame from nc con-
dition rise;
Act we'll your part, there all the
honor lies "
While a committee from the
city council was inspecting the
monument to sec that the work
had been satisfactorily done, the
wires were bringing the details of
the burning of the negro section
of the Northern city of Springfield,
Ohio, by mob.

THE PASSING OF THE FREYER
BUILDING.

The tearing down by the contractor,
Mr.. @. E. Henderson, of the Freyer
two story building this week, which
was partly wrecked as the result of the
fire last January, will remove one of
the oldest landmarks and best block
of store houses in the city. Mr.. Freyer
bought it from Mr.. Chuck Andcrson's
father, and it passed through the late
civil war free from the destroying torch
of Sherman's soldiers. For over twenty
years the Marietta Journal occupied
this building, and as a business home
we had become dearly attached to 1t by
many fond associations. Its passing
away is but another mark Of times
ceasrless amolition and that all human
creations naturally tend To decay. On
its ruins there will be a magnificent
brick and marble structure erected that
will prove more ornamental but never
more useful than the old building has
been in it's day and time.

MIR. CHENEY WITHDRAWS.

To the Voters of Cobb County
With much regret | am forced tc
announce my withdrawal from
the race for the legislature from
Cobb county.
Business interests have, since
my announcement as a candidate,
demanded my whole attention
and it has been impossible for me
to mingle with the people and
give them an opportunity to find
out my views on public matters.
To those whose intention it was
to vote for me | hereby express
my sincere thanks. To those
whose intentions it might have
been to vote against me, / would
say no iii will is cherished, for
every man should vote a free bal
lot.
To have neglected my business
under the circumstances to make
this race would have been too
great a sacrifice for me.
Respectfully,

THE DIFFERENCE.

In Atlanta a negro killed a
policeman and they put him in
Jail, tried, convicted and legally
hanged him, and there were no in
nocent negroes made to suffer.
In Springfield, Ohio, last
week, negro named Dixon killed
a policeman and he was placed in
jail. The citizens, 1900 strong,
took the negro from Jail, lynched
him and shot his body full of
holes. The mob then gathered
and burned down the homes of
the innocent negroes of that large
city. Quite a difference in the
treatment of the negroes in the
two places, The negro in the
south is lynched for only one
cause-asscult upon white women.
In the north 1T is race hatred.

SENATOR CLAY.

The Washington correspond
ence of the Brooklyn Eagle reads
as follows:
Senator Clay, of Georgia, is
not a Hearst man. He shows that
very plainly in his talk. Mere
wealth, whether amassed or in
herited, is not a sufficient quail
fication for the presidency, he
says. The Democratic platform
of 1904 should be conservative
the nominee placed on it should
be a man Of high character, man
who has earned a place in the
party's history, and also a man
who will make a good run in New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Indiana, Illinois, Delaware and
Maryland. The senator hopes
that Georgia will take this view of
the requirements. His personal
choice would be either Arthur P.
German or Alton B. Parker.
