Man Not Yet Suggested for Ba-

Takes Up Task in Earnest.

In all likelihood, the matter of a
temporary appointment of a United
States Senator to succeed Augustus
0. Bacon will be decided and an
nounced within "a hours,
Moreover, the impression is grow
ing that the Governor may go en-
tirely out of the long list OF sug-
gested appontees, and name man
who has figured but slightly, If at all,
in the forecasts.
The withdrawal of Clark Howell,
and the consequent certainty Of the
appointment going to South Georgia,
has served to bring the probable win
ner down to one of three men, so far
as present opinion is concerned. W.
s. West, of Naldosta w. w. OSBORN,
Of Savannah, and W. c. Vereen, OF
Moultrie. still figure in the guessing.
John r. Boifeuilet. of Macon, who
looked like sure winner for a time,
is not now believed to be as near
the coveted prize as he once was.
West Gets a Boost.
There is an impression that the
West boom received a decided boost
in the withdrawal of Mr. Howell The
Valdosta man was, perhaps, the oae
man in Georgia closest to Mr.. Howell
when that gentleman was a candi

and Mr.. Howell recently gave out an

likely would name West TO the va

Nevertheless the dark horse" is fig
urng decidedly in the forecasting to-
day In this connection, Judge BeV
erly d. Evans, of Sandersville, second
ranking Justice of the Supreme Court,
looms large.
If this appointment were made too,
it would create a vacancy in the SUI
preme Court that would give The
Governor another big card to play in
South Georgia, if he thought well 81
that move.
Columbus Man Urged.
\ big Columbus delegation called
on the Governor to-day to press upon
him the idea Of naming Gunby Jor-
dan, of Muscogee County, to the va

cation patient hearing, but Mr.. Jor-
dan is not booked upon a. likely
winner.
The Governor named him short

To say that tine Senatorial situa-

right, The appointment has been de-

contrary desires, that guessing has
ceased to be safe. The politicians are
pretty thoroughly at sea.
The Governor is believed to be

his boat, the Karluk, had been car
ried out into the polac ice pack with
Capt. Robt. Bartlett and 25 men on
board.
Arctic navigators never expect to
see the Karluk or Bartlett and his
men again." said Hudson. "Of over
100 vessels that have been caught in
the "outside pack" in the past 40
years, only one was ever heard from.
Hudson sailed from Seattle last
summer on the Polar Bear. After the
schooner had been caught in the ice,
Capt. Lane, Hudson and two of the
hunters decided to come out.
'The rest preferred to stay, rather
than take a chance on walking 400

Literary reactions in the estimate
OF George Washington at once sug-
gests his greatness and emphasize the
truth that greatness is an indefinsble
quality. lie has been exalted beyond
the topmost heights of heroism and
depressed below the level OF ordinary
justice. Criticism has undulated from
untempered panegyrics into captions
and hypercritical censure. Biography
In one mood has made Washington lit
tie lower than the angels. and In an
other has hardly given his substance
outside school copybooks. II Is this
mysterious element in his character.
which SO many historians have tried
to penetrate. that testifies Washing
