ARE COUNTIES HOLDING
UP REQUISITIONS!

It has been rmored recently that number
Of counties of Georgia were holding up their
acquisitions for state convicts under the new
law effective April l, on the belief that the
law is defective in many of its parts and
may be changed materially by the next legisla-
ture.
Whitfield county, in particular, has accept
ed classification as a doubling county. The
county commissioners of that county, 1t is re-
ported, recently decided to wait a while be-
fore making requisition for any convicts, pre-
ferring to wait and see what the coming leg
islature does with the law The Whitfield coun-
ty board is reported to have expressed Its
joint opinion that the bill will be materially
amended at the next session of the general
assembly.
other counties, too it is said, have taken
the same view as whitfield The prison COM
missioners at the capitol were asked about the
matter Saturday morning.
1--WE have heard nothing of it, said Com
missioners Evans and williams at once. Il
don't believe there is anything to that report"
said each of them. whitfield county may
hold that opinion, but it's the only one we've
heard of.
TT should be borne in mind by all the
counties, whatever their doubts, that If they
want eonyicts they must have their applI-
cation on file by February 10. next Wednesday.
That's the last day fixed by law. After that
no more acquisitions Will be considered. The
law is clear, and there is no reason to be-
lieve that IT will be changed in any material
point. We will distribute the convicts on the
basis of acquisitions in our hands on Ferua-

TAFT MAY DECLINE
HONOR BY MASONS

Notwithstanding the fact that the grand
master Of the grand lodge of the state Of
Ohio has reiterated his former statement
that PTesident-elect William H. Taft will
be made a Mason lat sight it is highly
probable that Mr. Taft will not accept the
honor. even though all objections by 9TH
err lodges be withdrawn.
While in Atlanta on HIS recent visit, Mr..
Taft was told that il had been suggested
that he begiven his Masonic degrees by
a lodge in Augusta where he spent sever
al weeks. While approaching the sugges-
ton, the president-elect declared in the
most emphatic terms that he could not
accept such a plan.
81 Will be glad to be a Mason-I wish
that was said Mr.. Taft, but when
take my Masonic degrees, 1t will be in the
home lodge of my father. 1 appreciate
the fact that the Masons of Augusta have
thought of me, but l will take my de-
grees, where my father was made Ma
SON."
So it is probable that when the presi-
dent-elect returns from his visit to Pan
anna and learns of the honor that has
been extended TO him by the grand mas
ter of the Ohio lodge, he will receive his
degrees In the same maner as did hts
father.

ORPHANAGEt BURNS:
CHILDREN IN PANIC

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Feb. 5.-The
Haskell Memorial home, a three and a
half story brick orphange located on the
western boundary of this city, was de-
stroyed by fire early today.
Three of the 81 little inmates were miss
ing when the roll was counted in a cot
tage on the orphanage grounds after the
fire.
In the panic that ensued, when the chill
dren were awakened by the first alarm,
seven little girls jumped from third
story window, though Ruth Rolf, IL years
old, was seriously injured in the back.
James Armstrong. IL years, made hero
of himself by standing on shed under a
window from which the girls had to jump,
directing them how to make their fall as
easy as possible, and actually catching
two of the smaller in his arms.
Mrs. r. S. Owen who. with her hus-
band, was in charge of the institution,
fought her way down the main stairway
while it was a mass of flames, carrying
a six-weeks-old babe in her arms and
with two small children clinging to her
skirts.
The fire started in the north wing and
spread rapidly through the entire struc-
ture. The property loss will be about
$50, 900.
The orphanage was founded by Mrs.
Haskell, of Southbend, Ind, as a Seventh
Day Adventist institution, but had passed
out of the control of the church and has
recently been maintained by private sub
scription. under the patronage of DR.. j.

is LIGHTNING EXPRESS
TO BE STOPPED AT LAST!

Has the mysterious lightning express
for the delivery of whisky In Atlanta been
discovered? 1t is believed that it has
been found out with the arrest Friday
night of A. C. Osborn and w. G. strad-
ley by Detectives Brannan and Doyal
on a oAarge of violating section 1887 of
the city code, which is in regard to keep
ing on hand whisky for sale.
When Stradley was arrested he had in
his possession a number of cards with his
name on them as representing E. H.
Carroll. a whisky house of Chattanooga.
The officers took these cards in hand and
presented one Of them at the express
office Friday afternoon and in return re-
ceived a case of "A pints of whisky. The
whisky was addressed to Tom Van. No
such name appears in the city directory
and it is believed it is fictitious name
furnished by Stradley in ordering the
whisky. 80 Is
Late Saturday afternoon Detectives
Brannan and Doyal called at the ex-
press Office and requested all the whisky
that had been signed for by Stradley.
They were given II cases OF "a quarts each
and cask of beer, which contained ten
dozen bottles. The different cases were
addressed to numerous parties such as
Tom Van, Tom Nex and VIII More, none
of which appear in the directory. No ad-
dresses were on. any OF them
The officers are now working on other
cases against the two defendants and it
is probable that several cases will be
entered against them at the trial Monday
afternoon. More than a score of wit
nesses have been summoned, including
many prominent citizens and express
messengers and clerks whom 1t is I'M
derstood have waited on Stradley. 1t is
expected that cases will be ordered enter
ed against other parties at the conclu-
sion of the trial Monday.
When Osborn was taken in charge a
blank book was found in his pocket that
contained numerous names. all of which
are supposed to be fictitious. In the book
appeared the names of the parties to
whom the whisky taken from the ex-
press Office Saturday afternoon was add
dressed.
The case was called for trial Satur-
day afternoon but was postponed until
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. All wit
nesses were ordered to be on hand, as
it is desired that all evidence possible be
submitted. Osborn is out under $1,000

Rockefeller Guest at Barbecue Dinner

AUGUSTA, Ga, Feb. 6.-John D. Rookie
Teller was the honor guest at a barbe-
cue dinner, given by the Beech Island
farmers today. He made short speech
in which he said that he was no TAR
mer, but his people, as far back as he
could remember. were farmers. He said
that the farmers during his forefather's
time were not farmers like the farmers of
today, that they went after the business
i'm a haphazard kind of way.
Mr. Rockefeller complimented the roads
of this county, and said; Il believe the.
thing farmers most need is good roads.
1t will save them much. You will save
in hauling and also in the length of the
life of your stock"
In conclusion Mr.. Rockefeller said;
But, after we get through with farm
ing, or railroading, or whatever our task
In life may be, we will be asked the per-
tinent question, it will come to US after
we have finished our work and have
handed it down TO our children, what was
the fruit of our work-what was the real
fruitage?"

MISSOURI LEGISLATURE
HAS RACE PROBLEM UP

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. 6.-After
a warm debate on the race question as it
affects politics in Missouri, the lower
branch of the general assembly has
disposed of a resolution providing for the
discharge of most Of the negro employees
of the house by referring 1t to a commit
tee. The vote was 81 to 50, the ballot
ing being on strict party lines.
The resolution was caused by the allie
CATION that a negro employee Of the house
had insulted white employe Of the sem
ate. Representative Jesse Duncan, of
Lincoln, presented the resolution, which
recited the controversy between the two
legislative employees and askd for the dis
charge of all negro employees Of the house
except those whose duties included the
cleaning of spittoons. A wide discussion
of race equality followed and then mo-
ton by Hiram Lloyd, of St Louis. re-
ferring the resolution to the clerical
force committee, prevailed.

JUDGE ]. HI. THOMAS
NAMED SOLICITOR

At last! After so long a time. now it
is over! A solicitor for the Brunswick
circuit has been appointed. Judge Joseph
II. Thomas is the lucky applicant. Xxi,
For more than a month past-in fact,
ever since the late Mr.. E. L. Walker, So
licitor-elect, for that circuit, was killed
by the accidental discharge of gun
while out hunting-ever since then has
Governor Smiths office been besieged by
applicants and friends of applicants and
friends of those friends. Every wire that
emanates from the extreme southeastern
part of the state has alternately been
set album with kilograms and then
pulled. Every mail from that quarter has
looked like ST. Valentines day. Almost
every day the governors ante-room has
been honored with the presence OF dele
cations of varying personnel and number,
mailing from the Brunswick circuit and
advocating the cause of this or that
man. s.t
They have asked me to hold the ap-
pointment till they can throw little
more light on the situation said Gov
ernor Smith ten days ago, holding up a
telegram from the partisans of one ap-
plfcant 1t was such a telegram as had
become a daily matter from one or the
other of the half dozen factions. They
want to throw more light" continued the
governor, with real pathos in his voice.
That's the trouble now. I've got too
much light. Ny greatest regret is that
i can't appoint every one of them, for
there's not a one that wouldn't fill the
office with credit"
And Saturday morning the announce
ment came. Judge Joseph II. Thomas,
now on the bench of the city court Of
Bailey, Appling county, was the chosen
one. He will oficiate as solicitor general
Of the Brunswick circuit till January /,
1911, drawing down a comfortable income
OF half a dozen thousand or so mean
while.
