CARNEGIE LIBRARY
WILL BE ASKED

Wtycross, Ga, April, r.
With a view of securing a Carnc-
gle library for Waycross after
the census has been taken, by
which Waycross is expected to
show a population of not less
than $4,000 a committee has tax
en- up the proposition with City
Council. The idea is to improve
the present High School Library
as much as possible, so that the
city will have additional argu-
mentS to use. Miss Rachael Crook
the scholo librarian. submitted a
report recently, showing that the
available books in the library had
been taken out dozens Of times
since the beginning of school last
fall, and that there was more de
mand for books by the children
than the library could supply
Council will investigate the mat
ter through one Of the standing
committees and assist in whatev-
er manner possible.

HAMLIN WOULD BE GOVERNOR
Willing to Accept Democratic Nomina-
tion in Massachusetts.

Boston. Sept. 3.-Charles S. Hamlin, of
Boston. a well known lawyer and Demo-
cratic leader, who was Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury during one of the Cleve-
land administrations, will accept the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor if it should
be offered to him at the coming state con-
vention, on October next. With MI Ham
lin as a candidate in the field, there are
now four men who are more or less in
dustriously seeking the nomination. The
others are James II. Vahey, former state
Senator of Watertown, who was the
party's standard bearer in 1908 and 1893;
Congressman Eugene n. Foss and Mayor
John F. Fitzgerald Of Boston.
Mr. Hamlins willingness TO accept the
nomination became known tonight, when
Edward A McClintock, of Springfield. made
public a letter received from Mr.. Hamlin
saving that he would accept.
Whether the entry Of Mr.. Hamlin into
the field will simplify or complicate the
political situation so far as the Democrats
are concerned is a matter OF argument.

age the building of sugar factories at

SENATOR'S TITLE DOUBTED
Successor to McEnery Appointed
After Sanders Had Been Elected.

Washington, Sept 3-Governor Sanders
appointment of Judge J. r. Thornton as
| Senator from Louisiana probably will be
questioned when Congress convenes in De-
| cember. In effect the appointment WAS
made to fill the vacancy occasioned bv the
| death of Senator McEnery, which occurred
! a few days after the adjournment of Con-
! gress last June.
The Louisiana Legislature was in session
! at the time, and Governor Sanders was
elected to succeed the deceased Senator.
| Desiring, however, to devote his energies
to the proposed Panama Canal exposition
| in New Orleans, the Governor has resigned
| the Office of Senator and as Governor has
appointed Mr.. Thornton to be Senator.
1t is contended that the proceeding vio-
| lates the rule laid down in the Quay case,
which was that Governor of a state has
no power TO make a temporary appointment
ag Senator to fill a vacancy which may
have happened when the Legislature OF the
state was in session. Having resigned
while the Pennsylvania Legislature was in
session, Mr.. Quay sought reelection Fail
ing in this effort. he was appointed by the
Governor. BY majority of one on q vote
of sixty-ive the Senate refused to award
the seat to him.
This action was taken on a construction
of the constitutional provision that If va
cancies happen. by reason of resignation
or otherwise, during the recess of the Leg
islature of any state. the executive thereof
may make temporary appointments until
the next meeting of the Legislature which
shall then fill such vacancies"
1nasmuch as the Legislature was in ses-
sion when McEnery died, il is asserted by
some persons that under no circumstances
could the Governor fll the vacancy. Others
argue, however, that this requirement was
met in the election Of Governor Sanders
himself. There was no irregularity in his
selection, they say, and, contending that
Sanders became Senator upon his cleo
tion. they urge that the present vacancy
befell when he resigned, which took place
when the Legislature was not In session
In this view OF the subject the determi-
nation might depend upon the construction
Of the question as TO whether under the
law, a Senator-elect becomes d Senator be-
fore he takes the oath of office.
