OYsTERMEN'S MEETING
Large Crowd Gathers at Aunory
To Form Protective Association

About one hundred and twenty
five gentlemen interested in the
preservation of the oyster industry
in the Interests of what is known
as the practical oystermen, met at
the Armory last night for the pur-
pose of forming an organization, the
object of which should be to &C
lively engage in securing the rights
of the oystermen.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. J. B. Harris, who acted as
temporary chairman. Mr.. Albert
Vickers was selected as temporary
secretary, and Capt. William Sims,
as treasurer. A committee compos
ed of Messrs. Herman Cook, Levi
Leonard, Robert Gootee, Levin Lew
is and Walter Slacum was appointed
to draft bylaws and constitution.
Because of the manner in which
so much of the natural oyster bot
toms have been taken up-those in
terested in planting, apparently ,hav-
ing been successful in keeping the
matter that they had taken up the
bottoms a secret, until after the
time had elapsed for filing protests,
while the oystermen, who were los
ing a portion of the very best ma
tural oyster bars in the county,
were not notified in any way of
what was being done-they are, ma
turally, very much aroused over the
matter. One hundred and eight
Joined the Association last night,
and the indications are that there
will be a membership of four or five
hundred in a short time.

There's bank whose issue is good

Why borrow where all that's to loan

Why discount days in despair?

Under despondency's guile
Keep books with the house of the

If to protest your promises seem to

Don't push them along;

Cash in your gloom, they'll change

completely mar.

of Glass Night were eliminated, and
the graduates presented a very en-
| joyable little play, "a Case OF Sus-
pension" This departure from es-
tablished usage turned out very well
and seemed to make quite hit

minutes and when raised again. re-
vealed a room in a young ladies
Seminary, where Miss Louise Bow
die, as Kathleen, an Irish maid, Is
busy busting the furniture and be-
wailing the fate which placed her

several of the young ladies plotting

promises silence, and a clothes bas-
ket, by means of which, and a long
rope, furnished by Jonas, the gard
ener, (Mr. Roland Gordy) their men
friends are to be hoisted to the
room. Prof. Edgerton discovers the
rope, gets other evidence of the
plot, and starts to come up in the
basket. Half way up, the young
people discover his identity and ex-
tort a promise of silence by threat
ening to leave him outside. Miss
Judkins, of the faculty, discovers
the party, but her wrath is ap-

Illegally in Atlanta,

Fulton County court officials declared
Friday that the nope Of several convict
ed criminals who were sentenced by
Judge W. + Thomas, of the Valdosta
circuit. Of having their cases annulled
because Judge Thomas was not duly APP
pointed tu serve In this circuit, would
be crushed by the higher courts.
Attorney Charles ID. Graham made
the point that all cases tried In Atlanta
by Judge Thomas and several other
Judges imported from other districts
were void. i'm a petition filed with the
Court Of Appeals Tuesday. lie was rep
resentinE Arthur Rearden, who, on Feb
ruary u, was sentenced to TIVE i've
months on the changing without "a fine
by Judge Thomas. The case had been
appealed and the decision sustained. In
a new effort to free his client Attorney
Graham gave hope to other convicts who
are serving terms.
II has been an lmmemOrial custom IN
Georgia for judges TO exchange benches

Graham asserts that only the Governor
Of Georgia has the authority To appoint
a special Judge and that all cases tried

ward. with his long service in the city
government and with his boosted
knowledge Of city affairs, has not
before this discovered the alleged de-
fiCiency Of this law and corrected it..
1t is very apparent that in this. as in
other criticisms, he thinks that the
public is ignorant and credulous
The criticism leveled at the pro-
posed change in the construction de
partment is without merit Mr. Wood
ward ran for Mayor largely on a plat
form of faultfnding and denuncia-
ton of the construction department.
His whole administration has been
one storm and flood of abuse of this
department. This department has
been under the direct supervision Of
the City Council, through Council
committees. 1t is proposed to place
this department under the supervision
of a board of citizens expressly chosen
for their fitness in this position and
representing all Of the wards and
thereby insuring permauenCy of the
plan Of work and efficiency in the
manner of carrying it on and an equal
distribution of the benefits of its op-
Grafton. This proposed change is in
the line Of good business adminiStra-
ton, and it is to be noted that not
withstanGing all the abuse that Mr..
Woodward has heaped on this de
partment, he has never come forward
with any definite plan for improve
ment for this department.
Says Woodward Likes Row.
In all that has been said on this
subject It is well for the public to
know what the motive is behind the
criticisms Of the Mayor. He does not
want an improved charter He loves
chaos and confusion. He is never 50
happy as when there is row on and
he is in the middle of the row. MIR.
Woodward would like to see a gov
eminent. whatever the form of 1t
might be, which would make him the
whole show His ambition seems to
be 10 get into a position where he
can run the police department, the
Recorders Court. the fire department,
the public works department, the san
itary department, the Crematory. and
all the departments Of the city He
would like to have this position on a
life tenure, with a large salary and
with ample time to devote himself to
running the other politics of the town
and continue such private business as
he chooses to enter into on the side.
He chafes under charter restrictions
and limitations, and would love to
make such laws as he desires and eX-
eCute them according to the bent Of
his own mind.
This revised charter has been a
matter OF public record in the City
Council and in the Legislature for
many months There has not been,
and could not be, any concealment
about It. II has been an open book

Old Charter Copied.

But if it is an Improvement over
the existing charter, then it should be
adopted. without regard to what
views people might entertain on the
General subject Of forms of govern
ment
Mr.. Woodward criticises the pro-
vision of the revised charter on the
subject Of the management of the
Lakewood property. This criticism is
entirely unjustihed for the reason
that the revised charter has in il the
exact provisions word for word and
letter for letter, that are contained in
the existing charter
These provisions we're inserted in
the existing charter by an act of the
I General Assembly Of 1901, page $40.
and are retained without change.
These provisions nave been in the
charter for twelve years during which
time Mr. Woodward has served the

and Alderman and he mas never seen

AMES q. WOODWARD, Mayor.
Committee Explains II.

The so-Called Citizens Committee
issued the following statement:
To the Editor Of The Georgian.
There has been so much misrepre-
sentation IS to the contents and
meaning of the proposed revised
charter that we ask you 20 print this
in the nature of correction.
This would scarcely be necessary
under ordinary circumstances. but on
account Of the fact that the criticisms
Of the charter have come from the
Mayor OF our city. whose position
necessarily commands more or less
attention, according to the point OF
view. we thought it might be well to
lay the exact facts before the voters
of the city.
Ii should be clearly understood that
the exact issue before the people in
this matter is between the existing
charter Of the city and the proposed
revised charter If the proposed re
vised charter is in no respects an i'm
prOvement over the existing charter.
then the revised charter should not be
adopted.

1t is beautiful custom, that of
celebrating Mothers Day." In the
ceaseless grind of modern business
one has difficulty in keeping close to
his heart the things that are really
worth while. The sentiment that
causes hundreds of men to meet to-
gether in honor of their mother is a
strong proof that the manhood of our
country is still something to be
grateful for A man who cherishes
the memory of the mother who has
passed away or who loves and re-
veres the mother whom God has vet
spared to him cannot be hopelessly
bad.

Judge Prince, who presides over
the court now in session here is a
man worthy of the distinguished pos
ition to which he has been chosen. He
is constantly affording opportunity
for one to see that he is in truth
filling the place. He does not toler-
ate unnecessary delays; he presides
with dignity and he does not have to
"feel after" the law; he knows it.
One cannot sit in the court room
without feeling that he is master of
the situation. Among other good
things that might be truthfully said
of Judge Prince are the very impor-
tant facts that he keeps order. He
will not tolerate delay and he is
quick as lightning in making decis-
ion upon questions that constantly
arise in the conducting of the court.
We take off our hat to this worthy
Judge; he is one who merits all the
good things one can say of him.
