TERRELL OFFERS
 HIS RESERVATION Georgia Senatorial Tangle
 Grows Worse GOV. SMITH DECLINES Holds That Present Senator Must Keep Seat Until Commission
 of His Successor Is
 Presented
GOV. SMITH DECLINES

Atlanta, July 14.--Gov. Hoke Smith this evening received the resignation of Sen aior J. M Terrell, who yesterday an- nounced that he would not return to Inc United states Senate as one of Geor- sia's representatives. In a formal reply the governor declined to accept the res gnation and requested that the senator continue to represent the state at least during the present session of the legis- iature.
 In his letter to the governor Senator Terrell said:
 By the action of the general assembly you have been offered the commission to represent the state in my place. cannot, therefore, in justice to myself Tor to the state, whose credentials have been placed in your hands, undertake to assume responsibility nor to wear an honor that belongs to you, and which YOU specifically have been asked to take,
 instead of me. Any other course on my rart would be undignified and unworthy. 1 believe that my term of office as Unit ed States senator has expired under my commission, but in order to remove all possible doubt that may arise in the mind of anyone. I respectfully resign the office of United States senator from Georgia, to take effect this day
 Senator Terrell also mailed a copy of bis resignation to the President of the United States Senate.
 In declining to accept Mir Terrell's resignation at this time, Governor Smith points to precedents established in the United States Senate showing that Mir Terrell is the recognized senatN from Georgia until the commission of his sue eessor Is presented to that body. The most recent case in question, he points out, is that of Senator Purcell of South Dakota, who continued to serve for sev eral months after the election of Senator Gronna, who was at that time a mem- Der of the House.
 Continuing, Governor Smith says:
 Impossible to Leave
 Tt is not my purpose to send my ere dentials to the United States Senate dur irg the present sea,ion of the legisla- 1 are and therefore you, during that pe- rod, will, beyond question, he one of the representatives of this state in the United States Senate. unless you insist upon your resignation. As I am so sit uated that it is impossible for me to leave at present. I beg that you will not assume the responsibilities of depriving the state of the benefit of two senators when the vote is had upon important leg station now pending in that body Governor Smith tonight declined to state what steps would be taken to in sure two votes in the Senate during the esent session in the event that Sen f.tor Terrell insisted upon his resigna- ton. Senator Terrell also declined to make any comment tonight upon the eovernor's letter. r

Hiram" the big eagle who has
been the pride OF the local lodge F.

this mortal coil and passed to the
great beyond, where no wire cages or
over-zealous hunters will strike a
note of discord IN the symphony Of
peaceful forest life.
The old warrior was found dead in
a corner Of his cage early this morn

Hiram" was captured near Aledo
after being winged by a hunter, and
was sent to the Eagle lodge In this
city. He seemed to brood over his
captivity and has slowly but surely
failed. AL efforts to arouse him from
his state Of lethargy have been fruit
less. He refused to touch food and
finally live prey was thrown into the

ling of the attorneys, he continued
it till next Saturday.
In the arguments against the &C
ton Of the magistrate, it was declar-
ed that he had nothing to say as to
when he would hear the case and
that he was prejudiced and count
less other things. He merely sat
back in his chair, listened as long as
the talk was humorous, sat down
on all efforts to balk his decision
and then advised the attorneys to go
out and rest for a week and then
come back prepared to do battle,
which thus far gives promise of be.
ing a hot and wordy one. This
morning before they could even
launch into their arguments, the at.
torneys were at swords points with
each other, but 1t was an amicable
pair of lawyers that walked away

1t was necessary to hire extra horses
to carry out the department work. A
short time ago one of the horses from
the fire station was stricken. It was
taken to the city barn for treatment,
