THAT DATE.

The puc lie schools will close for the
Christmas holidays this year on We'd
nesday, December %, and will reopen
again on Monday, January 3, giving
the teachers and pupils vacation of
practically two weeks, the usual
Christmas holidays.
The children are all now hard at
work on what is called the first ses-
sion, and they have accomplished good
work during the two or three months
taat The schools have been open.
Ii is expected that there will be
an increased attendance when the
schools open for the second half of
the term. as many children, who did
not enter at the opening have waited
the second session.
Most of the teachers are preparing
to go away for the holidays. All of
those who came here from other cities
will return to their homes, and as
large majority Of them are from diff
ferent sections, only few will be in
the city during the holidays.

H. S. JACKSON TO BE
POSTMASTER IN ATLANTA

Will Succeed Biodgett-WaIter John
son to Be U. s. Marshal Again.
Washington, Dec 10.-Within the
next few days the president will send
to the senate number of important
Georgia appointments. The slate
agreed upon up to the present time,
and which has received the white
house approval is as follows:
Walter Johnson to be United States
marshal.
F. Carter Tate to be United States
district attorney.
Henry s. Jackson to be postmaster
at Atlanta.
There is one ether big Georgia plum
to be disposed of, but it is among the
probabilities that the president will
not be able to agree upon the man
who Is to be favored when he sends
the above mentioned appointments to
the senate. The filling of the posi-
ton that is causing Taft some worry
is that of collector of internal revenue.
The term of the negro collector, II.
A. Rucker, has expired, and follow
ing the presidents policy of not fill
ing southern Offices with negroes, he
will not be given a reappointment.

KING MANUEL IS VERY MUCH
chAeR,NEo OVER hIs FAIL
uRE TO WIN A PRINCESS.
Reported That His Religious Views
Were in the Way-EnqiIsh Royalty
Aware Of Insecure Position of Man.
ueis Throne Also a Reason.

London, Dec. 10.-King Manuels
failure to effect a matrimonial alliance
with one of the English princesses dur
ing his recent visit to England was
the keenest disappointment of the
youthful Portuguese rulers life. ac-
cordlng to statesements made today
by persons who know the inside work
ings of British royalty.
While Manuels visit was ostensibly
for an international exchange of
courtesies it is authoritatively declar-
ed thaJ his real purpose was be-
trothal to either Princess Patricia, of
COnn6ught, or Princess Alexandra,
daughter OF the Duke and Duchess of
Fife
T-.ere is little doubt that King Ed
ward personally favored an English
princess for the throne of Portugal
but tie object rs on account of the
change in religious belief that such
union would necessi,ate became so
strong taat the King was forced final
ly to withhold his consent English
men have always resented Princess
Ena's abandonment of Professionalism
for Catholicism when she married
King Alfonso of Spain, and it was
pointed out in the British press and
by his close personal advisers direct
ly to King Edward that there would
be really dangerous outcry if the
same thing occurred again.
The insecure treasure that King
Manuel has on his throne was anoth
CT determining element. What made
the situation still more delicate was
the pending fight in parliament
against the house of lords. Edward
is known to be uneasy concerning the
fate Cf England's hereditary legisla-
tors, as he fears the threatened day
of the aristocracy may involve the
throne in danger, too, and he recog-
nized the inadyisability of any act
likely to produce any stronger senti-
mept against the British governing
class.

RECORD CARGO
OF CROSsT|ES
ION LUCKENBACH
STEAMER WILL BREAK ALL REC
oRDS WHEN SHE LEAVES
PORT THIS MORNING.
The Cargo Consists Of 67,325, Exceed
ing by 5000 Any Cargo Ever Car
ried From Any Port-Loaded by the
Company Recently Locating Here.

The steamer Louis Luckenbach will
sail from the port of Brunswick this
morning with the largest cargo of
erossties ever shipped from a port in
the United States, breaking the pre-
vious record, which was also held by
Brunswick-th largest crosstie pert
in the world.
And the Luckenmbach has been
loaded by company which establish
ed offices in the city only few weeks
ago, the German company, of Pitts
burg, whose office in this city is i'll
charge of e. E. SHAVER.
The LuckenJach, when she leaves
port this morning, will have on board
exactly 67,325 crossties. The steamer
was loaded by the Southern Forward
ing company, for the Germain com
pany.
While the exact figures could not
he ascertained, it is understood That
the previous record Tor crosstie car
90 was something like $1,000 which
were carried from this port some time
age, therefore ii can be seen that the
Luckenbach breaks that record by
about $4,000 ties.
A few weeks ago a steamer sailed
out from Savannah carrying a cargo
1900 ties, and the shippers and pa
pers Of that port thought that world
beater.p For two or three days the
papers mentioned the fact, not being
aware, evidently, that their sister port
had previously shipped many cargoes
larger than the one so much boosted
about
The Luckenbach, which is a member
of a large fleet of vessels by that
name, is said to be- the largest tramp
steamer afioat. OF course there are
dozens of larger freight and passen-
ger steamers, but in the tramp steam
er line she is said to be the largest
of them all.
A cargo of 67,325 crossties is larger
than the average citizen would think,
and the fact that it breaks the worlds
record is something that should put
the people to thinking.
The new company intends to ship
many crossties from Brunswick and it
will no doubt prove to be one of the
largest crossties firms in the south.
The company has Offices in the Akin
building. watch are in charge of Mr..
Shaver.
