now constituted under Governor Jos.
NJ. Brown. DR.. Hopkins will succeed
Col. w. r. Power of Marietta as war
rant and requisition clerk. Colonel

will be connected with the agricult-
ural department under Commissioners
j. d. Price.
DR.. Hopkins is one of Georgias
most distinguished men. He was the
first president of the Georgia School
Of Technology and was for many
years president of Emory college.
He is still vigorous in body and mind,
and his selection will please thous-
ands Of his friends all over Georgia.
Jesse Perry to Remain.
Mr.. Perry has had long experience
as a private secretary. He was for
years with the late Congressman Jas.
M. Griggs served in similar capac-
ity with the late Senator Terrell;
was with Governor Slaton in the two
months tenure before Governor
Brown was reelected to succeed
Hoke Smith, and has continued un-
der Governor Brown. No more pop

could be found.
Mr.. Ulm began his public service
in Governor Browns first term and
has been with him this time He is
very efficient, very popular among his
friends and the fact that he is to re-
main will give satisfaction.
1t is generally admitted that Miss
Norris is one of the most competent
stenographers and record clerks the
department has ever had.

straight murder, 416 for manslaugh-
ter. 29S for attempted murder and .
for accessories to murder. There has
been an increase of rs murderers

cuNIrINE SURPRISE PARTY"
1,tiouaI Guard of Georgia Gives
Ct 600 Worth of Silver as Token
of Its Love and Esteem.


ATLANTA.-Governor Joseph M.
D.oun was rendered genuine 'sur-
.r;ee party" by the national guard of
Georgia last night.
The state military organizations,
.brongb few chosen officers, slipped
~ on their commander-in-chief at
tbo executive mansion, where he was
wing a reception to the Georgia
Tocb graduating class, and presented
bis excellency with about $1,000
n,ortb of solid silver as a token OF
their respect and esteem.
The governor was expecting some
81 his officers last night, for they had
hoen especially invited to the recep-
+,on He likes to have them present
At all his receptions.
When the big gathering was called
D., rider Chief of Staff Fred j. Paxon
+oId the governor how much the mil
,+orv boys of the state love him and
annreciate his attitude toward them
ona that it was the military's desire
70 present him a substantial token
If its high esteem.
After Colonel Paxon had finished
his eneech the most gorgeous display
Of silverware ever shown in the man
sion was uncovered in an adjoining
room.
Governor Brown was quite over
oome He found it difficult to gather
bimself sufficiently to respond. Fl
nallv in a very happy speech, he
mid high tribute to the militia and
lis importance to the state.
The magnificent gift was paid for
nv voluntary subscriptions from the
members of the national guard all
over the state. The idea of present
ing the governor the silver was con-
ceived in Atlanta month ago. Sub
scriptions of from 81 to $40 were
sent in by eco or more members OF
the state military.
The matter was kept a secret
among the military. Outside the ad-
infant generals Office in Atlanta the
only persons in on the secret were
Mrs Brown and the governors pri-
yate secretary, Jesse Perry.

PIE HUNTERS LEAN;
BURLESON IS JADED
Office of Postmaster General Besieg-
ed at All Hours by SaIary-Hungry
Democratic ''Narshorses."

WASHINGToN.-More Office seek
ers besiege Postmaster General Bur-
Lesson every day than all the other
cabinet officers put togther. The siege
has been going on ever since the first
day he took office. Senators and rep
resentatiyes swarm down on him by
the score. Everyone has two or
three candidates for postmasterships
under his wing, and many of these
candidates have been here so long
they are beginning to look lean and
hungry.
Burleson's jovial disposition is
gone and he wears a careworn and
hunted look. Pressure upon him is
so great that republicans say before
he gets through the civil service rules
viii be pretty well flattened out, so
far as postmasterships are concerned.

A "PURE ADVERTISING" LAW
Brooks County Legislator Would
Compel Merchants to Stick to
Facts in Advertisements.

FacCS in ADVERTISEMENTS
QUITMAN, Cat is possible that
a pure advertising bill will be intro
duced at the coming session of the
legislature by State Senator S. M.
Turner, of Quitman. This measure
has been discussed with Senator Tur-
ner by J. F. Townsend of this city,
who is one of the most progressive
young merchants in South Georgia.
Mr.. Townsend thinks law compell-
ing all business men to stick to facts
in their advertisements would be
distinct benefit to business interests.
This law has worked admirably in
Pennsylvania, for instance, where
there is penalty of 81, 900 fine when
it is shown when business man has
misrepresented his ware in adyertis-
ing.
It is believed that busiess men
generally would favor the measure
as being good one. There is in re-
cent years a strong tendency among
the progressive business men to write
their ads as news of their stores and
not make exaggerated statements. 1t
is this sort of merchant who would
back the measure proposed. They
believe such a measure would cause
the public to have more confidence
in advertisements and not regard
them as fakes in many instances.
Senator Turner is very much i'm
pressed with the arguments in favor
of the measure.

Milwaukee.-"No, 1 am not sorry.

This was the declaration of Mrs.

ILL.,, when the Milwaukee authorities
bought her a ticket for her home.
She had been wooed and won at
Stoneford by Wallace Henry Adam
son, who claimed to be a Milwaukee
broker. After reaching here Adam
son took the $500 she had, went to
his "oces" and never returned.

.SOLONS SHIFTING THE BATTLE
HOT FIGHTS FOR PRESIDENT OF
SENATE AND HOUSE SPEAKER.
After Organizing the First Business
Will Be to Provide for Election
of United States Senator.


ATLANTA. Perhaps the very first
business which will be transacted by
the legislature, which meets one
week from next Wednesday, June 20,
will be the enactment of bill pro-
viding for a special election for a
United States senator to succeed Sem
ator Bacon, who is now serving I'M
der an ad interim appointment.
If there is no hitch this bill will
probably be six days in passing, as II
must be read three separate days in
both the house and senate. The bill
will not give less than ten days no.
tice of the election, which will most
likely be called for a day between
July Is and August /.
Will Succeed Himself.
Senator Bacon will, of course, be
elected to succeed himself. He is al
ready the nominee of the democratic
party, having been chosen in the pri-
mary of last fall and declared as such
by the Macon convention.
1t is understood that he is anxious
that the election be held and the re-
turns declared by the legislature be-
fore the termination of the present
special session of congress. This will
enable him to qualify before he leaves
Washington. If Senator Bacon's cleo
ton is declared and certified by the
legislature before it adjourns his
continuity of service will remain un-
broken and his position of seniority
in the national body will not be dis
turbed. When the legislature meets
the morning of June 25th the house
will be called to order by Clerk John
t. Boifeuillet of Macon, who will
preside until a speaker is chosen. The
race for speaker lies between w. H.
Burwell of Hancock, R. N. Hardeman
of Jefferson and J. E. Sheppard Of
Sumter. H. J. Fullbright of Burke
withdrew from the race several days
ago.
Fight in the Senate.
The senate will be called to order
by Secretary Charles N. Northen of
Atlanta, who will preside until a
president is elected. There are two
candidates for this Office, J, Randolph
Anderson of Chatham and Judge
John T. Allen of Milledgeville. Both
claim 81 votes out of possible "a.
Judge Allen and Mr.. Anderson
have both arranged to open head
quarters in the Kimball house next
week, and the presidency of the SEN
ate will without doubt be lost or won
by Saturday, the 21st. 1t is believed
that the race will not find its way
to the floor of the senate.

hours conferred with representative
of the Americas board of trade, city

ment. There had been a reduction
in the mechanical forces. but there
would be no further reduction, nor
would the transportation department

BUTTER IN COLD STORAGE.
Eight Million Pounds stored in Forty
Warehouses on June list.

On June 1 there we're SsO98,300
pounds of butter in storage in forty
warehouses. OF course it was put
away for speculative purposes. Its
owners hoped the price of butter
would rise so that they could unload
at a profit. At first thought $1,000
600 pounds seems a tremendous
amount of butter. Yet that much is
eaten perhaps weekly in the United
States.

at the good stiff price Of IS cents

It is apparent that Mr.. Wright is
proposing to traverse the state, not
with the Ratchet as did Carrie Ma

the shape of court decisions, which
he is endeavoring to make more eff
fective.
The prohibitionists have ceased, in
measure, to parade their exploits,
and are now apparently going about
it in a quiet way, but with what
seems like a determination to obtain
results.
