NORTHERN IS REINSTATED
GOV. BROWN TENDERS HIM AP-
POINTNIENT AS COMPILER OF
RECORDS, AND HE ACCEPTS.
WAS REMOVED BY GOV. SMITH

MISSED EA-OOF. NOFthen anu Mdue
Other Arrangements for the Work
Through Miss Henderson.
ATLANTA.-GovernO Brown to-
day rendered Ex-Governor W. J.
Northen the position of compiler of
colonial records, and he has accepted.
The restoration of Governor North
en- to his former position, from which
he was removed by Governor Smith,
will not in all probability interfere
with the continuation of the cOmpil-
alton of the confederate records,
which has been going on under Miss
Lillian Henderson and Pension Com
missioner Lindsey, of the cOnfeder-
ate roster commission.
Governor Smith removed Governor
Northen on the alleged ground that
there was no further work for him to
do, and the compilation of the con-
federate records could continue under
supervision of the confederate roster
commission.
Governor Smith thereupon ordered
discontinued the work of compiling
the colonial and revolutionary rec
ords, and entered into contract with
Miss Henderson to complete certain
work in that line by July 1st of last
year.
Miss Henderson, who has been
identified with this work from the
beginning and whose competency and
familiarity with it are recognized,
executed the duties for which she had
contracted, and then continued the
work on the confederate records I'M
der the roster commission.
Therefore, Governor Northen's res
toration to the place from which Gov.
Smith summarily removed him does
not necessarily cross or interfere with
the work now being done by Miss
Henderson. The money for paying
the salary of the compiler and for
the work generally arises from the
sale of the acts, the supreme court
reports, the code and the records is
sued from the department itself. Last
year after all expenses were paid
some $4,000 was turned into the
treasury.

AFTER GAME WARDEN'S JOB
POLITICIANS ARE "GUNNING'
FOR JESSE MERCER.

Next appointment Will Be Made by
Governor SIatOn, and Will Likely
Be Several Applicants.
ATLANTA.-There seems to be an
impression over the state that several
politicians are cunning" to use an
appropriate figure, for the job of
State Game Commissioner Jesse E.
Mercer.
No names of particular candidates
have been offered, but several papers,
particularly in South Georgia, have
offered suggestions that Commission
| er MERGERS job was being eagerly
sought, and that he would have oppO-
sition when the time comes around
again for the governor to make an
appointment.
The next appointment of a state
game commissioner will be made by
| Gov. John NJ. Slaton, who goes into
Office about July LIST. Commissioner
Mercer is an appointee of Governor
Hoke Smith, and it is well known
that former Governor Smith and
Governor-elect Slaton are of entirely
different political schools. What fig
ure that may cut is as yet unsolved.
Commissioner Mercer has always
been a staunch and unyielding Hoke
Smithite, but since going into his
present Office he seems to have set
aside partisan politics and is devot-
ing himself strictly to business.
Made Things Hum.
Commissioner Mercer has been
making things hum in the game war
denis department and he is about as
persistent a pursuer of violators of
the game laws as could we'll be
found. With it all Commissioner
Mercer is about the only humorist
in the capitol, his bent in this direc-
ton being well illustrated in his re-
cent crusade to stop the tendency to-
ward prevarication on the part of
mighty Nimrods.
This divorcing of an office from
politics is a very pretty argument for
the man who is in and wants to stay
in. But there is usually the other
who is out and wants to get in, and
he is generally anxious that the de-
cree of divorce shall not be rendered
until he has landed.
There will, unquestionably, be the
usual political onslaught on the game
commissioner job as there are on all
appointive offices. In the meantime
Commissioner Mercer is spreading his
popularity about wherever opportuni-
ty offers He is enforcing the law
diligently; of that there can be no
doubt, and he is also making friends
in many sections.

Let US all work together for
cleaner and healthier Dawson this
year. Can you imagine Dawson in
warm weather without fly or mos
suite? What a delightful place it
would be. If we would begin before
warm spring weather arrives, when
these pests hatch out in large num-
bers. to look carefully after our yards
and stables, using disinfectants in
those places likely to prove breeding
places for such, we would do great
deal towards making this dream
reality.

Every twenty-four hours there
passes through the pores of the skin
about a quart of water. This is nee
essary in order that the body may
remain at an even temperature and
be able to resist sudden chills, severe

time a still greater amount of wa

the lungs and other organs. If this

No Ocean Balloon Trip Yet.

In spite of the failure of the Well
man expedition and the tragic fate OF
the Vanniman party, the idea of cross
ing the Atlantic by dirigible balloon
still has Its fascination, and German
named Bucher has announced his in
tention of making the attempt. A
French paper has been doing some
figuring. Taking as basis of calcula-
tion the dlrigible AdIt Reau, which
holds the record for longest fight, it
is estimated that to cross the Atlantic
this dirigible must carry nearly eight
Dns, nearly three tons more chan its
capacity. And this is assuming that
it crosses in five days, without mis-
hap or delay The conclusion is that
in the present state Of aeronautic
science it is impossible for dirigi.
BILE to cross the Atlantic except on a
route where fayoring winds would dc
large part Of the work.
