PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH WAR
CLAIM MAY BE TAID SOON

The claim of the Presryterians for
damages against the Government oc-
casioned by Federal troops during
the Civil war has successfully passed
every stage and is now in the hands
of the Senate Committee. Col Fred
Morris, who represented the church,
has been pushing the matter vigor-
ously and says he feels almost sure
that he will get the claim of
100000 paid to the church in the
near future. The church was badly
damaged in 1864 when it was used
by the Soldiers as a hospital. 1t will
be just half a century since the dam
age was done before payment is
made. That is a long time to wait,
but the old saying is everything
comes to him who waits

TO ROB BANK
OF SMYRNA WEDNESDAY

1t was discovered early Wednesday
that burglars had made an attempr
to blow open the vault of the Bank
Of smyrna, but the effort was unsuc-
cessful.
The work was apparently done by
expert yeggmen but the bank vault
proved too strong for the charge and
very little damagewas done. Even if
the robbers had succeeded in blowing
the vault they would have found a
different proposition when they met
the big MOsler safe inside it. This
safe is absolutely burglar proof fit
is made of the very finest steel and
in solid piece except the door which
screws into the safe in a way that
absolutely prevents any explosive,
even liquid like nitro glycerine being
forced into it.
Mr.. Corn, the Cashier, is not at
all worried over the incident as he
knows that the vault and safe are
burglar proof. The depositors and
the bank are absolutely safe anyway
as the deposits are insured

For Appointment.

dreds of lady Postmasters in Geor
gla and thousands over the country
Congressman Lee learned several
weeks ago that Mrs. Clay would be
very glad to receive the appointment
us postmaster at Marietta. He knew
enough OF Senator CIay's affairs to
understand that $4,000 a year would
be OF substantial help to his widow
IN meeting the responsibilities of life
and he knew also that there is no
where brighter or more energetic
woman, and he felt that the Post
Office could be safely entrusted tn
her management.
Mr. Lee and Senator Smith talked
the matter over They We're both
devoted friends of Senator Clay and
when they saw an opportunity to
render a service to Mrs. Clay thew
did not hesitate. The picture of
Steve Clay and the wife whom he
idolized was before their mental Wis
ion and they said, IF she wants it,
she can have it,
So that is just the way of it. Mrs.
Clay will succeed Mr.. Keller in June
unless she declines the pTace.
While this news is going to en-,
prise the public generally | can say
that those most surprised will be the
Immediate members Of Mrs. Clay 8

Gordon Lee and Senator Hoke Smith
have definitely agreed that Mrs. Clay

master General.
1t is the wish of both Senator
Smith and Mr.. Lee that Mr.. Sterling
Phillips be we'll taken care of as AS
sistant Postmaster, but Mrs. Clay
will be Postmaster.
There is a growing disposition to
give official positions of this charac
ter to ladies wherever they can be
satisfactorily filled by them. Mrs.
Bum was recently appointed Post =
master at Cedartown on the recon-
mendatiOn of Mr.. Lee and it is said
she is giving the best sort of salts
