Cuiuller say* that grave Injustice has been done him by paragraph recently printed In Torn Wat non’* Weekly Jeffersonian. In which It was ullegcd that in the campaign of 1896 Bishop Candler opposed state prohibition In favor of local option. Bishop Candler say* that hi* position then Is uot a question of Mr. Wutsou’s memory or anylHMly else’* memory, but of record. He states that he opposed identifying I r rohlbltlou cause with the Issues and f une* of any political party or person. Bishop Csinflcr calls attention to a card trlnted then In an Atlanta paper In which ic said he favored every form of proliibl- hether by local option, a statute for ole state or He says he rord In that rani.

Seagraves, a street car conductor, was Informed by ft young woman friend that Frank Finley, a so licitor, had been telling her alleged raise stories regarding him, he tele phoned Finley to meet him Sunday morning at 8:30 at South Forsyth and Garnett streets. The two young men, who are said to be rivals over the girl In question, met at the appointed time and place and a bloody fight resulted, In which Finley Is said to have been consider ably worsted. He testified In police court Monday morning that Seagraves struck him In the head with a blllle, knocked him down, kicked him and otherwise misused him. Seagraves admitted that he tele phoned Finley to meet him Sunday morning, and said he was provoked to make tho attack because of certain falso stories credited to Finley. Ac cording to Seagraves, these stories In volved the statement that he had “hugged and squeezed the girl In the case, and had kissed her, not once, but a thousand times.” He said the girl told him Finley made such statements to her. He declnred Finley was jealous of him and that this caused the trou ble. Seagraves said ho thought he was perfectly Justifiable In what ho did, but Recorder Broyles hold differently. He snhl tho law did not give a person the right to attack another because of some statement mode to his back. The recorder Imposed a fine of J10.76 on Seagraves, and, at the request of Finley, bound him over to the state courts under 3100 bond On the charge of assault und battery. The girl, over whom the young men fought, was not In court, and her name was not brought out. WITH THE LAWMAKERS A typographical error In innklng typewritten copies of the Hardman prohibition bill, which was printed In the papers without being detected for correction, has caused much uneasl- nets among the prohibition forces over the state. In the section providing the punish ment for violations of any provision of the act, the section was printed as 'section 1939 of the criminal code.” It was so printed In local papers. Imme diately the advocates of prohibition de tected that there was no such section m the crlmlnul code, and that section 1939 of the civil code referred to some thing entirely foreign to the subject. Inquiries began rolling In from all parts of the state. A trick was sus- pected to defeat the measure. But Sen ator Hardman soon quieted the fears of every one by explaining that the section was 1039 of the criminal code, and that It so appears in the bill passed. This has been a working senate, majority of the body Is opposed to ad journment so long as there t* anything irmalnlnc on the calendar for action. And the calendar Is right up to date tow Time has been when matters began to congest towards the close of the session, but If it happens this year. If certainly Is not going to be the fault of the senate. So far the dafly at tendance has been higher then for any senate of years. The number of ab sentees Is few, and those who may be £ way have providential cause. Senator Stephtns was detained for several day; after tho session began because of the critical Illness of Ills young son. Tide wrek he was excused until July 2.i In eider to attend the encampment of the military at Fort Screyen Benator Stephens Is a major In she FWrtn r«fl* ment Senator Flyut has been absent much of the time owing to the critical Illness of Ids venerable father In Grif fin It Is not unusual for every mem- ler of the body to be In his seat. The hfrhest number of absentees In one day l.M never exceeded half a down. as though the upper house of the gen eral assembly Is sitting In solemn de liberation under the black flag. Who ever Is responsible ought to take cog nizance and remove from the senate the stigma of doing business under an emblem commonly supposed to repre sent piracy, Inadvertently The Georgian put Sen ator E. P. Dobbs In the wrong pew. The wise and rotund representative of the Thirty-fifth was placed among the list of legal luminaries who shed wisdom over the senate. It was done without malice nnd under a misapprehension. Knowing the ability of the senator along lines ordinarily supposed to be long exclusively to the disciples of Blackstone, he was placed there with out personal Investigation and upon the direct avowal of another member. Senator Dobbs Is first of all o manu facturer; next he Is a horticulturist. Some avow that he is a theoretical hor ticulturist. Be that ns It may, he suc ceeds In doing whatever he sets him self seriously at aa well as the next. The mere physical accomplishment Is but a trifling matter. It Is his brain and planning that brings results. And In It all. Senator Dobbs finds time to make Marietta a rattling good mayor, a statement that will be corroborated by anybody who lives In that beautiful lit tle neighbor of Atlanta. Reports from Columbus are to the effect that Chief of Police WJJey Wil liams will enter the race for prison commissioner to succeed Commission er Tom Eason, whose term expires two years hence. Captain Williams made the race in 1902. nnd got a very sub stantial vote. There was talk of his opposing General Evans last year, but he never announced. Captain Williams has many friends over the state who will work hard for him If he gets In the race. DR. HOLDERBY TALKS ON PROHIBITION Rev. Dr. A. R. Holderby, of the Moore Memorial Church, preached an Inter eating sermon Sunday morning nnd In cidentally he paid hla respects to those seeking to prevent prohibition. “The whole whisky gang and every miln who opposes prohibition Is an ene my to God and humanity,” said Dr. Holderby. "But the gang Is doomed, nnd they haven't got money enough to buy up the temperance men of our legislature." Dr. Holderby took for his text X'Cor., xl: 57: “But thanks be unto God who glveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." The sermon was en Joyed by a large congregation.
