Atlanta, July 24.-Setting forth its in
tention to maintain and operate its own
telegraph line, the Nashville, Chatta-

today for an injunction to restrain the
Western Union Telegraph company from
conducting condemnation proceedings in

right of way for the lines and poles of
the telegraph company along the right

of way its own telegraph line should be
allowed to operate in place of that of
the Western Union.
The hearing was set for September I.

SLATON PAID HIS WAY
THROUGH COLLEGE
Georgia GubernatOrial Can
didate Begun as a Clerk
at SIS a Month

Atlanta, July 24.-(specia1.) -Geor-
gia has had as governor number of
self made" men, as the term is gener-
ALLY understood, and in one or two
instances first honor college man has
occupied the executive office.
But it will remain for John M. Sla-
ton, his friends say, to combine both
of these qualifications in the executive
offiee--a governor who made his own
way paid his own way through col
lege and carried off the highest honors
of his alma Mater" the University OF
Georgia
Whether an exception or not, NJ.
Slaton's record is a blow to the old
tradition that first honor man in col
| lege never does any big things in life;
/ for he is first honor man of the state
university, where he paid his own way
with money he earned as a clerk of the
old Green Line association as SIS a
month.
| II we'll remember Jack Slaton as a
clerk of the old Green Line associa-
ton" said Representative e. A Nisbet
of Sumter, a member of the present
| Legislature. "He was working here with
the organization when | came to At
lanta from Macon In 1885, with the Ma
con contingent
Jack Slaton was working then as a
clerk with this association at SIS a
month, and | understood at the time
that he was saving money from his sal
airy to educate himself at the Universe
ty of Georgia. He was an efficient
clerk, too. He was Industrious, sober
energetic, did his work well and was
one of the kind you didn't see about at
night. He didn't pursue any of the fol-
lies of youth like some of the others,
but had serious purpose in view we'll
illustrated by the story that was gen.
orally told of him in the office shortly
after l came here and that was almost
80 years ago.
THE association was then in need of
good clerks, and 1t did not let one get
away, If 1t could help It, They offered
Jack Slaton s125 a month. a pretty
healthy increase, to stay there, and I
remember how we all wondered why he
turned it down. but he did it because
he had saved the money to pay for his
| college education and he was determ-
| ined to get it. He adopted the wise
| policy as his record has shown, but it
| was a temptation that few young men
could have resisted"
The foregoing are some facts with
reference to Mr.. Slaton's career that
are not generally known: but Repre-
sentative Nisbet who worked alongside
of him as a clerk for this association,
felt that under the circumstances
Georgians should know them, and said
1t was with pleasure that he made this
statement.

CLEMENCEAU FIGHTS
ELECTORAL REFORM
Writes Premier Attacking Attitude in
Carrying Bill Through the
Lower House

Paris, July 24-George Cle;nenceau, for
merly premier, today opened the sena-
toria opposition TO the electoral reform
bill adopted by the chamber of deputies
on July 10.
M. Clemenceau's first move against the
government takes the form eff an open let
ter addressed to Premier Poincare, at
lacking his attitude in carrying the bill
through the lower house Of parliament.
The bill provides for the abolition of the
system of small constituencies established
under which each elector votes for one
deputy only and substitutes for it the
system of list voting, each elector vot-
ing for as many deputies as the entire
department has to elect. 1t also intro
duces a system to provide for the repre-
sentation of minorities by which, after the
poll Is taken, the total number of actual
voters in the department is divided by
the number of seats to be flied and the
seats are then divided prorortionately
among the candidates of the different
parties.
NJ Clemenceau, leading opporent of the
proportional representation plan, argues
that Premier Poincare carried the bill in.

NAL representation majority hut with the
help of the votes of reactionaries and
