Several Hundred of These Positions

The stenographer is passing in

decision by the officials of the com
pany to gradually do away with the
stenographers by filling future va
cancies with typists who will take
their dictation from monographs
will affect several hundred positions
in the service of that railroad.
The change is to be gradual one.

der Mr.. W. B. McKinstry, head of
that department, from which the va

to employ in that department those

ers and accustom them to the use OF
the monographs, now coming into
vogue for this class of work.

BREAD HAS COME BACK.
WAS CAST ON THE POLITICAL
WATERS BY JACK SLATON
SOME YEARS AGO.
STOOD BY POPULIST FOSTER

When Seat as Member of Legislature
From Clay County Was Contested,
and Now Sons and Grandsons Are
Supporting Fulton Man.
ATLANTA.-The quality of graf
itude in human nature is we'll IL
Illustrated in a number of letters
which Hon. John M. Slaton, presi-
dent of the state senate, has just
received from Clay and adjoining
counties in Southwest Georgia.
These letters come from sons and
grandsons of A. L. Foster of Clay,
and the writer's state they are glad
to support Mr.. Slaton for governor
and to do all they can for him on
account of his action in championing
the cause of their father and grand
father in 1896.
The story is this: In 1896 A. l..
Foster, populist, came to the legis-
lature from Clay county, and Kill
lingsworth, his democratic opponent,
contested his seat. Mr.. Foster was
elected by a majority of three votes,
and in the investigation before the
house committee there was no evil
dence of fraud such as to warrant
the committee in unseating Mr.. Fos-
ter. A majority of the committee
voted, therefore, that Mr.. Foster
should retain his seat, while a mi
nority report was filed favoring the
claim of Mr.. Killingsworth.
Mr.. Slaton was selected by the
majority report on the floor of the
house. Although lifelong demo-
crat he accepted this duty and pitch
ed his speech on the broad ground
of Justice without reference to par
tisan politics. He took the position
that it was not question of popu-
list, democrat, republican or any
other party, but solely an expression
of the people at the polls. He held
that Mr.. Foster, according to the evil
dence, had been squarely and honest
ly elected and that on the face of the
returns it was the duty of the house
to seat him.
The result was the majority re-
port was adopted and Mr. Foster re-
tanned his seat. This was sixteen
years ago, but the results of it are
apparent today, not only in the let
ters referred to, but in the friend
ships which have come to Mr.. Sla-
ton from former populists now re-
TUNED to the democratic fold,
This is a story with a moral, but
fortunately the moral does not have
to be written out to enable the read
err to find it.

THROWS AWAY So, OOO,O 100000
Miss Lester Employed by Uncle Sam
to Destroy Covenant Securities
Unfit for Circulation.

There is a woman who throws
away usually 100000 every day.
Sometimes it is only 100000.
Again, if she is feeling particularly
robust ana business is brisk this
much-to-be-envied person is able to
boost the damage mark up to S5,-

about twenty large-sized trunkfuls
of five dollar and ten dollar bills.
Her name is Miss Louise Lester,
and she is the only woman member
of the currency destruction commit
tee of the treasury department.
The task of this organization is to
destroy all government securities
which have been declared unfit for
circulation. OF course, the bulk OF
this is paper money. The average
life of a silver certificate is less
than three years. Sometimes a dol
lar bill is worked so hard that 1t
isn't able to weather the pocketbook

NEW YORK.-The first two

~hoIa city, but more particularly the
.,owded tenement districts, was like

Even in the upper parts of the

nightly crowded by thousands OF hui

while up from the river came the
"put-put-putter" of the little motor
boats, whose owners were also out
searching for cooling zephyrs.
But down in the crowded tenement
quarters the story is different. Prob
ably not one person in a hundred
there ever saw Riverside Drive. Cen
trail Park, even, is an unknown land
to most of them. The unit of cur
rency on the great East Side is the
cent, and if there were half cents it
would probably be the half cent. 1t
takes five cents to go anywhere on
the street car and five cents to get
back. That makes ten cents, and it
takes an hours hard work to make
that. Therefore the hundreds OF
thousands of persons to whom every
cent has its definite value do not
wander far from their own oven-like
homes, They suffer from the intol-
