Rambo, a former At lantan, now a successful druggist In Denver. Colo., when hn returned Iasi week to visit relatives Here. The con trffst between the service'In Denver and In Atlanta, he said. Is surprising. As soon as he reached tile station upon his arrival-lie tried to call up his brother, whose residence ‘phone is con- heeled with the north exchange. He waited a fewNnlnutea and got central, a few more and got north exchange, but after another wait had to .begin all over again and try the rhlef operator on the north exchange. She gave him his number, but he had spent fifteen min utes In the effort and naturally his flrat question was about Atlanta's telephone service. Denver, which has a population about. 259.090. Mr. Rambo says, has .... almost perfect service. The rates are 65 per month for office 'phones and 61.50 for two party residence 'phones. There are nine exchanges and more telephones In proportion than Atlanta has. The company keeps up with the needed repairs. Two Fights Grow Out of a Bitter Republican Pri- • • Jiiary Fight.

Rlshop Candler, of Alldnta, delivering the ded ication sermon. A real live Jap selling clay figures and other baubles visited the depart inent of the gulf headquarters In the Candler building Monday, arousing the suspicions of the orderly who suspected that he was possibly a spy sent out by the Mikado to learn tha strength of the United States army. “If he was a spy," said Orderly Wood, 'he wa» a blame poor one. He neveK even glanced at the maps In the adju lent general's office.”. When the Jap stepped out of the ele vator and advanced toward the order lies who have desks In the hall and asked for admission they Immediately guessed they had better be careful. Or derly Wood Went Inside Tb Inform the officers while hie partner stayed out side and kept an eye on the brown skinned stranger. Lieutenant Comlskey came out and Invited the Jap In and they conversed on general topics In the Japanese lan guage, In which the lieutenant Is fluent. They discussed Japan, America and the Income to be derived from selling clay figures. Also, whether It were best to spend all one'a time selling clay figures bought from another person or whether It would be better to take half the day making them and the other half selling them. Aside from his nationality ^»nd the place he had chosen os a market fbr his wares, the most suspicious thing about the Jap’s actions was that he did not once ask Lieutenant Comlskey to make a purchase. While the lieutenant and the Jap were talking, the onlerlles through the open door kept close watch upon his movements and when, with many ex pressions of good will the Mikado's sub ject bade farewell. Uncle Sam's sol diers saw him safely to the elevator and watched Him drop fourteen stories. MOLENA LOSES BLOCK BY FIRE 8peclal to The Georgian.

Mr. Neill said that since hie preliminary efforts to settle the teleg raphers' strike he had taken no port In that controversy and that these efforts, whjcli had failed, represented all that had been done by the administration In the matter.

Will Climb. MUST GET SOMETHING, DECLARES MR. GOMPERS. New York. Sept. 11.—Without hav ing accomplished anything toward set tling the telegraphers' strike, Presi dent Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, returned to Wash ington last night. Mi. Gompers de clared he would do anything In his power nr make any personal sacrifice to bring the strike to an end. "It will lie no unconditional surrender by the strikers. That is certain. The strike should be amicably settled now. It would be the worst thing possible for all concerned If the strike were fought to a finish. It would be bad for the public, bad for the strikers, and bad for the telegraph companies. In such an event there would be much bitter ness on both sides. Rad feeling would be avoided If the strike were settled now by an agreement between thq com- panles and tl;c operators. Therefore, 1 am willing to do anything In my power to bring about peace." At a meeting of New York local. No. 16, of the Commercial Telegraphers’ Union, yesterday one delegate each was elected by the telegraphers of the West ern Union and Postal in mis city to «epresent them on the national commit tee In case of negotiation* looking to- ward the ending of the strike.

Burwell, of Hancock, for a future con- grasaman from the Tenth district. It la heard whispered about tluwn this way wherever you go. They tell you that when “Tom" Hardwick gels out of the way that "Bill" Burwell will foll^helr to his congressional toga—If Hancock county haa any say-’so about —and It usually haa. Bu» Congressman Hardwick? Then, you will get a-aly dig In the ribs, and a knowing look. Persist, nn.1 they will finally cautiously tell that one of two things |s. going to happen. Hardwick will either enter the lists for governor or (he United States senate. But when la alt this going to hap pen .' Well, us yet. It Is lu the future—Just how far In the future, no one will venture. But they will tell you that “Togi" Hardwick Is a coming man In Georgia, and Is outgrowing a mere seat In the lower house of congress. And lie Is ripening Into either guber natorial or senatorial timber, they say. He knows the game or politics, t..... Folk say he has a strangle-hold on the Tenth. At any rate, you d.. nut hear any talk of opposition, since the supreme court gathered In Judge Hor ace Holden. People down here talk, live and dream politics. It Is as natural aa the breuili of life to them. Acd having faith In their able young congressman. It Is n t unnatural that they should want to see him climb higher In the counsels nf the plate or nation. Governor Smith said some mighty complimentary things about Represen tative Burwell, nnd that Commendation was well received. He Is a pretty strong man down this way now. He was one of the leading advocates of reform legislation In the last session, and he stands mighty doss to G..v. i n- or Smith. He Is young, too. and ambitious. If Hardwick steps aside. It Is not unira- sonable to suppose thaf he has a lauda ble desire to represent his district In rung res*. At any rate, keep your eye on tIA Tenth congressional district.
