WHAT SITE WILL IT Be?
Current Report Has 1t That inspector
viii Recommend Carver Lot for
Postoffice building.

Mr.. ]. R. Robson, the government
inspector who was sent to Dawson 10
look over the several lots offered as
a site for the federal building that
will be erected here, did his work
and quietly departed.
It is the duty of the inspector TO
recommend two lots, first and second
choice, and while Mr.. Robson was
reticent about the matter and stated
he would not make known which lots
he would favor report is current
that he will recommend the Carver
lot at the intersection of Lee and
StonewaIl streets as the most desEa-
BILE, and the Farnum lot at the cor
ner of Main street and Seventh ave-
nue. as the next best.
This is all conjecture and nothing
definite is known, but it will not be
surprising if future events do not
show the correctness of this report.

HUMAN SKELETON WAS FOUND
In a Swamp Near Railroad Track and
Public Highway Two Miles This
Side on Cuthbert.


Mr.. c.. w. Curry, who returned
from Cuthebrt Friday night, reported
that considerable excitement was
caused there during the day by the
finding of a human skeleton two
miles this side of Cuthbert.
The skeleton, which was a perfect
frame of a man, was lying on the
bank of branch about one hundred
yards from the track of the Central
railroad and near the public high
way and was found by some negroes
who reported their discovery to Sher-
if Taylor of Randolph county. The
sheriff went out and carried it into
town.
1t is not known whether the skeI-
eton is that of white man or negro.
No one has been missed, and mystery
surrounds the entire affair.
A suit of clothes on the ground
near where the bones of the I'M
known person lay gave no clue as to
his identity.
The skeleton was a perfect one in
every respect with the exception that
one of the jawbones had dropped
into the water.

ADVISES

EXTENSION
Cost, $2O,OOO,OOO, Too Great to
Be Compatible With States
Policy, Says Message.

Opposition to the extension Of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad to the
sea was expressed In a message sent
by Governor Brown to the Legisla-
ture. The cost of building such a
road. which, It is said. would be about
$4,000, 900, is the reason given by
Governor Brown for his opposition.
That the rental Of such an addition,
il possible to lease it. would not
amount TO more than the interest on
the bonds, thus leaving nothing with
which to pay off the PRINCIPAL. is one
Of the arguments advanced by him
against the building of the road,
Governor Brown suggests that the
State Of Georgia might forever con-
troll It's freight rates by obtaining a
concession Of land from Tennessee.
giving 1t a frontage of a mile on the
Tennessee River. A short branch
could be built from the Western and
Atlantic Railroad to the river and
connection made with boats from
Ohio and Mississippi River points
This, he states. could be done at a
cost Of 100000
That the Governor be authorized ia
appoint a commission to investigate
the leasing Of the Western and At
lantic is also suggested in the mes
sage.

Berries Eaten on Trip Into the
Country Make Three Young
STEERS III.

The three children of Captain La
mar Poole, of the Atlanta police de-
partment, were reported Thursday
morning as having recovered from the
effects of ptomaine poisoning which
they suffered while on a picnic
Mrs. Poole said she had taken the
children to the country Wednesday,
and thought possibly they had been in
the hot sun too much, or that the ber-
ries and sweet corn they had eaten
for lunch had disagreed with them.
A hurry call to police headquarters
announced that they had been
strangely poisoned.
The first signs that the children
were suffering became evident at 8
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Wal
lace, aged IL; Douglas, s, and Elsie,
years old, were taken violently i'll
simultaneously after they had return
ed to their home at 255 Glennwood
Avenue.
Chief Beavers fastened to the Poole
home with a surgeon from the Ora
dy Hospital. When they arrived,
however, Captain Poole and DR.. Vir-
gil Cook were there, and the chill
dren were soon relieved.

Speaker Of the House during the en-
tire session.
President Anderson and Speaker
Burwell began working on. commit
tee assignments Immediately after adj
journmcnt yesterday but II will re-
quire a week, perhaps. to finish the
undertaking.
1t seems 10 be an acceped fact that
Representative Blackburn, OF Fulton
Is to be the House floor leader, mas
much as he is reported slated to head
the Committee on Rules, while II is
freely rumored about the Capitol to-
day that President Anderson pro-
poses to evidence his entire friend
ship and good will toward his late
rival, Judge Allen, the Senator from
the Twentieth District, by Offering
him his choice between the chairman
ship Of the Finance and the ConstItu-
tional Amendments Committee In
the Senate.
Both these suggested assignments
apparently meet with the approval OF
the Houses involved for nothing but
commentator Of them is heard on any
hand.
Indeed. the fine feeling in the Sen
ate following the strenuous struggle
for the presidency thereof, is re-
marked by every one, and 1t now looks
as II the new Legislature is to get
away with its work in a spirit Of gen
uine good fellowship and mutual re
spect all around.
Certainly for the first time in ten
years Georgia appears to have on
hand General Assembly that may be
classed neither as a smith" nor a
Brown" body.
Beyond the suggestion OF Black
burn for vice chairman OF the Com
mittee on Rules in the House and
Allen for either Finance or Constitu-
tional amendments In the Senate, the
dope" on the committee line-ups is
pretty bad. Neither President An
derson nor Speaker Burwell will dis
cuss the matter at all.
