In casting about for gifts that are
inexpensive but attractive and worth
while, nothing will be found more sat
isfying than handkerchiefs. They are
made in the greatest variety in size,
decoration, quality and style. Manu-
facturers design them for many uses
and consider the needs Of those who
convert them into accessories Of dress
and furnishings. Any number Of the
personal belongings of women and
children are easily made from them,
and, what with the real beauty Of the
handkerchiefs and the hand work in
volved, these little gifts embody the
essentials of tasteful Christmas gifts;
no matter how small the cost.
Handkerchiefs for fancy work and
dress accessories may be bought for
less money than other equally attrac-
tive articles. They will cost from five
to fifty cents each. The average for
pretty, daintily finished linen ones will
be in the neighborhood Of twenty
cents; good designs may be had for
fifteen cents, showing printed borders,
and quarter will buy good grade Of
linen with some embroidery. Narrow
hemstitched edges or small embroi-
dered scallops are decorative, figuring
in the designs in neckwear and other
accessories made from handkerchiefs.

APPOINTMENT Of
JUDGE KRAUSS
NOT CONFIRMED
NEXT JUDGE OF LOCAL COURT TO
BE NAMED BY NEW
GOVERNOR.
Senate Refuses to Confirm Appoint
ment of the Local Jurist Who Was
Named for New Term by Governor
Smith,

A peculiar situation now exists In
connection with the office of Judge
of the city court of Brunswick, and
who is to serve for the next two years
is a question yet to be decided.
The term of Judge D. W. Krauss
expires on the first of January next,
and although he has been appointed
by Governor Smith for another term
the appointment has not been con-
firmed by the senate, which means
that the next judge of the city court
will probably be named by Governor
Smiths successor.
The present governor sent in a list
of appointments on last Tuesday, in
Guiding the judge of the city court.
The senate, however, refused to con-
firm them, on the ground that a gov
ernor should not appoint officers over
the state whose terms did not expire
until after he had relinquished the of
flee of governor On Thursday all of
the appointments were confirmed with
the exception of Judge Krauss, which
the senate contended should be filled
by the incoming governor. Governor
Smith has announced that he will not
take his seat in the senate until De-
cember, and, as the term of the pres
ent judge of the city court does not
expire until January l, the senate held
the position that Governor Smith
should not make the appointment, but
that it should be left to the new gov
ernor, consequently it has not been
confirmed.
This, as stated, means that the gov
ernor who is elected to succeed Mr..
Smith will make the appointment, and
it is expected that there will be a
number of candidates for the place
Judge Krauss has always been
strong supporter of Governor Smith
and if Smith advocate is elected to
succeed the present governor he will
no doubt be named, but, on the other
hand, if some one opposed to the gov
ernor is elected to fill the unexpired
term, there will no doubt be a num-
Der of candidates for the place and
Judge Krauss will have to make a
fight for reappointment

THE GEORGIA SENATOR
>IAL SITUATION.
Terrell Sends His Resignation to Gov.
ernor Smith by a Messenger and
the NewIy-EIected Senator Declines
to Accept II.


Atlanta, July 14.-Senator Joseph M.
Terrell formally resigned his seat in
the united States senate this after
noon. His written resignation was
sent to Governor Hoke Smith by per-
sonal messenger. In the communica-
tion to Governor Smith, Senator Ter.
rell said, in substance, that as weghty
problems effecting the welfare of the
country are now pending before the
federal senate and that as the people
OF Georgia have expressed through
their ballot their choice of senator
they expected the man selected by
them to cast their vote in the senate
on these questions.
Senator Terrell stated in his com
munication that there might be no
question as to who should exercise
this duty he would formally relinquish
the seat in the senate so that It
could be assumed by his successor. He
said that while the senate had in soma
instances permitted senators to serve
after their successors had been elect.
ed there was no defined precedent
covering this.
Governor Declines to Accept.
Governor Smith declined to accent
the resignation of Senator Terrell
and urged him to withdraw it. The
governor shows precedent that Ter.
rell is still recognized as an United
States senator.
The governor, in an interview with
a News representative this evening.
said: Il recognize as Mr.. Terrell
states the Importance of senatorial
representation at Washington at this
time, but at the same time he knows
the responsibility resting upon him to
remain as the executive of Georgia.
ana 1t is for this reason that I de-
cline to accept the resignation"
Governor Smith expressed hone
that Mr.. Terrell will not deprive
Georgia of the representation which
the latter should make at Washington.
which proves conclusively that the
chief executive of Georgia is fully
decided in that he will not take the
oath of office for the senate before
tne convening of the next congress-
ional session in December.
A prominent official stated tonight
that If Senator Terrell persists in
Governor Smith accepting his resigna.
tion that the chief executive will name
some one to fill out the present ex.
ira session at Washington. The law
regarding this matter states that a
governor after being elected to the
senate can name a man to fill the
interim until 1t is advantageous for
him to take the oath of office.
