WOULD HAVE EXAMINATIONS
FOR ALL POST MASTERS
PRESIDENT WILSON FAVORS
CHOOSING POSTMASTERS OF
ALL GRADES BY COMPETITIVE
EXAMINATION.

New York, Nov. 8.-President Wood
row Wilson declared himself as favor
ing legislation for the appointment Of
postmasters of all classes through
competitive civil service examination
in letter to the national civil service
reform league which was made pub
lie today. Last week Charles E.
Hughes, republican nominee for presi-
dent, endorsed such legislation. The
presidents letter follows:
81 wish to state the postmaster gen.
eral in his annual report for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1914, recommend
ed to congress the enactment of leg
islation which would permit of the ex-
tension of the classified civil service
so as to include the position of post
master at office of the third class. The
following year he not only renewed
this recommendation but recommend
ed that the postmasters of second
class be included as well, but no &C
gress on these recommendation In
his annual report for the fiscal year
Just ended he will not only renew
his recommendation for the legisla-
ton mentioned, but will ask that 1t
be extended to offices Of the first class
as we'll.
81 am thoroughly in accord with the
recommendations of the postmaster
general and they have my hearty ap-
prevail You understand, however, that
the classification of the position, does
not classify the incumbent and the
person holding the position at the time
it is classified will be subject to the
same competitive test as others who
may apply. When these positions
are classified the postmaster general
will be able to fill many Of them"

of
COnvicts Delayed

Atlanta, Nov. 3.-The matter of
working out the reapportionment OF
state convicts among the several coun-
ties, under the new state law, is be-
ing greatly delayed by the counties
themselves A great many Of the
counties with the corrected road mile
age, though letters were sent to each
county some tige ago directing at
tention to the fact that the law re-
1uire an accurate measurement OF
the mileage in each county, and this
measurement to be accompanied by an
affidavit to make it official.
The new state law provided no fund
with which the state commission can
make the county measurements, but
contemplated that this would be done
by the counties themselves, and the
commission has put it up to them.
1t would have cost the commission
about $4,000
The reapportionment must be made
January 1, and there is but little
time to comply with the law, and work
out the division of convicts. This will
be one of the principle subjects for
discussion at the annual meeting OF
the County Commissioners associa-
ton in Macon next Thursday. In the
meantime, there is considerable in
terest in the expressed intention on
The part of some of the counties to
bring injunction proceedings to pre-
vent the enforcement of the new law
1t is understood that Chatham, Fulton
and Muscogee are principally interest
ed in this movement, but several 9TH
err counties will join with them.
It has been shown heretofore by a
tentative complication that less than
fifty counties will benefit by the new
law in getting an increase in the
number of state convicts while more
than 100 counties will lose a part of
the convicts assigned to them under
the present system.

AGENTS GETTING
UP negroes HERE
PROMISE OF EASY LIFE ENABLE
THEM TO TAKE AWAY 80 OR
MORE LABoRERs FROM COR
DELE.

While Northern agents have been
working surrounding towns, employ
ing negro laborers under similar plans
as they have worked through Georgia
and other states, Cordele hoped to es-
cape their fraudulent practices, but
they have finally included this city
in their itinerary. Under different
pretenses and promises these agents
thought to be two in number, have
Anticed about thirty-two negro labor
ers away from Cordele within the past
few days. They told the negroes that
they would be given much better
wages than they could secure in the
south and. that the labor would not
be as hard.
Newspaper reports of recent date
have been to the effect that negro
laborrs who have gone to different
northern points have found conditions
much different from what they were
represented to be by the agents. The
cost of living in northern sections has
been found by the negro immigrant
to be much higher than in the south,
nor were they accustomed to the ex-
IRENE cold weather of those sections
and the work to which they have been
put is by no means lighter than they
have been accustomed to in the south.

former Baron and Cracker, will be at the hot corner, with Tex O'Rouke also getting chance. The infield is com plete at the present as it stands.
 Moley is more or less impressed with the showing of O'Rouke, and rather than take a chance of letting a good player escape his clutches, Moley will give him all the opportunity possible to display his worth. O Rouke has been fielding good lately as well as hitting few, and it may be that Moley in tends to cary him until the start of the season as utility man. He can play in the outfield as well as the infield, and this may be Moley's course. Certainly if ORouke develps to be a hitter, he will be kept for the Barons are sadly in need of some heavy clouters.
 Cecil Coombs will be in left and bat in the cleanup position Coombs is the heaviest hitter on the Baron team this season. with possibly the exception of Smith, and Moley depends much on him to uphold the dignity of his rank in the batting order Werner will be in Hartle in right. Carroll has been show ing better form as the time passes and Moley has stationed the old reliable in right in place of Hartle on the regu- lars. Werner is almost a fixture in cen ter, and provided he continues to slug tn pill with the consistency that marked his early weeks in camp, he will have 8 job for the entire season.
