he will make no further opposition to

Sheriff Bagnall came armed with a

stale.
“We think mighty well of Governor
Vardaman," he continued, "but we are
satisfied to have him as governor. Mis

Senator Tom Felder, of Macon, play

Saturday. This bill can not pass here
without twenty-three votes. The sen
ate differs from the house. They think
nothing of passing bills over there with
only 23 present."
And Joe Hill Hall, who had come
over to hear his former colleague,
chuckled In grim appreciation.
Judge W. N. Spence, of the Albany
circuit, announces that he will not en
ter tho race for congress In the Sec
end district against Congressman J. M,
Griggs.
This leaves Judge A. S. Roddenberry
In the race against Judge Griggs, and
those who know say that a real live
time Is ahead down in that neck of the
woods.
It Is reported that Solicitor O. H. P.
Bloodworth, of Forsyth, will shortly
announce for congress In the Sixth dis
trict, opposing Congressman Charles L.
Bartlett. Both were ardent advocates
of Governor Hoke Smith, so that ques
tlon would not enter Into the contest.
Mr. Bloodworth Is said to know per.
sonally nearly every man In the die
trlct, to have many strong friends and
to be a live wire In a political mlx-up.
No one denies that Judge Bartlett is
some himself In a heated potttloa)
shindy.
If stories In Chattanooga papers are
to be given credence, the principal oc
cupation of most of the population of
Catoosa county. Georgia, Is to camp on
the trail of autolsts from the Tennessee
city.
At the last session of the general
sembly Dr. J. 8. Alsobrook, then rep
resenting the Forty-fourth district, of
which Catoosa county is a part, had
passed a rather stringent automobile
law, which applies to that county only.
Catoosa has many fine roads leading to
the national Chlckamauga Park.
Within the past few weeks the of.
flclats have been making It hot for the
Chattanooga automoblllsts who come
down and put dents In the local law.
According to reports, the first move,
ment was to lino the highways with
deputy sheriffs, who nailed the offend
Ing Chnttanoogans, hurried them oft to
the nearest Justice of the peace
promptly and Invariably assessei
collected rather neat fines.
That process of separating the auto
owners from their cash palled finally,
and they grew wary. Vigilance of the
Georgia officials apparently became lax
and the automoblllsts were lulled Into
the belief that the storm was over.
They began driving the chug-chug
wagons at the same old speed-de
vourlng rate.
But another storm Is duo to burst on
the head of the devoted chauffeurs
shortly. Now, It Is said that the Ca
toosa authorities have quietly secured
evidence and will shortly ask for re
qulsltlons enough. If granted, to bring
back to Georgia the entire automobile
owning population of Chattanooga.
These must be prosperous days for
Catoosa county officials.
Senator Camp had a distressing time

"I beg pardon,” replied Senator Camp,
sinking Into hla sest with a regretful
sigh.
Some time later he cautiously made

was speaking. There was a whispered

stitution Interest
Delegates.

jority of the host of Elks evidently de
cided to reach Philadelphia In time to

will hold their elections on years of
even number. Tills arrangement will
make a complete change In delegations
every two years.
Moreover, under the new constitu
tion. a court composed of five justices
to try all difficulties wilt be created,
known as the grand forum, and If the
new constitution Is adopted by this
convention the justices will be elected
Immediately.
Grand Exalted Ruler Harry Melvin,
of Oakland, Cal.; Fred Robinson, grand
secretary, and Johq Kohler and Perry
A. Clay, candidates for grand trustee,

SHEARER REPLIES
TO MR. WOODWARD
W.C. Shearer, who moved that Park
Woodward be asked to resign, and who
was criticised In a card by the latter.
Issues the following reply:
To tho Editor of The Georgian:
"In this mprnlng'a Issue of The At
lanta Constitution there In a card signed
by Park Woodward which seek* to cast
some reflection* on me.
“I was present at the special meeting
of council called to consider the water
works situation merely as an Interested
citizen and tax-payer. I was added to
the commltteo of council appointed to
Investigate this situation us a citizen,
along with Judge George Hltlyer and
Mr. Anthony Murphy, on motion of
Councilman Huddleston, a gentleman
whom I know only by reputation, and It
was done without any solicitation-on
my part. I agreed to serve because I
had the Interest of the city of Atlsnta
at heart and wanted to do all I could
for my city.
"In the committee I made a motion
to ask for the resignation of the super
intendent of waterworke because I
thought that he was responsible for tile
deplorable condition of the water sup
ply through his inefficiency, Inattention
to duties and Incompentency to dls-
and had his way about It, I would still
be there If I wanted the Job. I was
put out by the petty politicians, not
because of any Inefficiency and Incom
petency on my part, but because they
wanted the Job for eome of their own
favorites.
“We found that the condition ot
muddy water existed in the city of At
lanta because the superintendent ot
waterworks did not understand the sit
uation and didn't know how to meet
the situation. He reduced the pressure
of the pumps that had been run for
s at 117 down to 110. He promised
city of Atlanta muddy water II
they didn't let his crowd spend ths
bond money and they got the muddy
wuter. It Is about the only promise
that he ever made and kept that 1
know of. Any capable, conscientious
engineer could have taken hold of this
situation and could have avoided all
of this muddy water that tha city has
Buffered from.
I thought when I made my motion
to oak for hla resignation that the city
ought to have a first-class mechanical
and hydraulic engineer In charge of
this department, a man capable of
handling all emergencies. That w*
have not got In the person of our pres,
ent superintendent, and It la what tha
city haa got to have before th« water,
wurka la put upon a practical basis,
and It Is practically all that tha city
needs In order to have a first-class
charge the duties of his office. The waterworks
motion was not pressed because It was reference Is made to the Re-
construction period. I could give soms
pi
suggested that It was outside of the
duties of this committee and because It
was further suggested that If wo
should ask him to resign that he would
not do It. but would continue to hold on
to his lob and draw the salary, whether
the city got vulue received or not,
"Who is Sheerer!"
(t Is stated In the card, ‘The general
public don’t know who Shearer Is.’ Tha
general public does know who Shearer
Is, and doe* know who Park Woodward
mm Shearer, as everybody knows. Is a
practical machinist and engineer, who
understands his business.
