U.S. BELL IS CANDIDATE
EOR CITY ELECTRICIAN
"DIs Job I* aumptln’ flerce,” Is proba
bly the substance of the thoughts of
Clerk Henry M. Wood, of the county
board of commissioners. The aspirants
to membership on the county pollcel
force have him besieged. US
The creation of the twenty-four ncwl
positions Inst Saturday set, It seems,
tha majority of the cltlienshlp of the
county who are out of work, or making
less than 1100 per month, to thinking
they would make the very kind of
goods necessary for enforcing the sub
urban law. Although the Job pays but
ITS per month, and the men have to
furnish everything from handcufla to
horse, several men who are making
well above that monthly stipend are
endeavoring to convince the county
that It needa them on Its payroll.
Although one of the strict require
ments of a county policeman Is sobrie
ty, dozens of more or leas frequent
dpraers are telling what fine men they
are for the job, and go ahead and
subscribe their names to the statement
on the application blanks that they are
"atrictly sober and In no wise addicted
to the use of Intoxicants.”
They have been crowding Mr. Wood',
pfflee all day, laboriously writing out
their applications, while they ponder
over the questions: "Are you married
or alngle?" and "What waa your last
Job?"
"Some of them haven't aeen thetr last
Job In so long that they wouldn't know
It If they met it In the road," aatd one
of the county officials. One applicant
couldn’t write and some on* had to
make out his blank for him.
The majority of the men, however,
look as If they would make good offi
cers, The varied assortment Includes
city firemen, city policemen, street rail
way employees, farmers, constables,
some unclassified and others who could
almost be classed as "bums."
E. V. farter, chairman of the com
missioners' committee on roads and
bridges, said Wednesday afternoon that
he would call a meeting as soon as all
of the members of the committee were
I" *he city at the same time, to con
sider the location of the three stations
where the force will be located after
the new men are selected next Wed
nesday.

It la generally conceded by those who
have kept up with the political altua-
tlon since tha recent primary., that
Hon. Henry H. Caban Isa, of Fulton,
and Hon. E. L Martin, of Bibb, will
be the secretaries of the Democratic
convention In Macon, when It aesem-
blea next Tuenday.
That Mr. Cabanlaa Is slated for oqe
of these placea there can be no doubt,
for Hon. Hoke Smith’s official organ has
stated that he -‘will be put forward for
one of the secretaryships of the State
Democratic convention that la to meet
In Macon, September 4.”
The auggeetlon of these two namea
for secretaries of that convention hae
brought on more talk, to the effect that
It may mean that theae gentlemen may
respectively oppose Hon. Charley
Northeii for secretary of the senate,
and Hon. John T. Bolfeutllet for clerk
of the house.
A close friend of Mr. Cabanlss said
Wednesday that Mr. Cabanlss would
offer for secretary of the convention,
but would not run for secretary of the
senate.
In naming theae men as secretaries
of that convention, an unbroken prece
dent for over a quarter of a century
will be set aside. Ever since Bill Har
ris, of Worth, and Mark Hardin, of
Bartow, became secretary of the sen
ate and clerk of the house, respective
ly, It has been the custom for these of
ficers to act ns secretaries of the
Democratic convention.
Should these gentlemen contest with
Messrs. Northen and Bolfeutllet, there
would be considerable conjecture as to
the final outcome. The latter have
the bulge, so to speak, as they have
been campaigning for several months,
and If the former should win out, It
would be due almost entirely to the
moral effect of the overwhelming Smith
victory.
Messrs. Northen and Bolfeulllet, It Is
•aid, are not losing any sleep over this
anticipated opposition, as both of these
gentlemen, so it wns stated at the cap-
ltol Wednesday, claim that they have
already pledged to them more than
enough votes to Insure their re-election.
One of the real surprises of the cam
paign, however. Is the overriding of
the unbroken precedent of the past for
the clerk of the house and secretary
of the senate to serve as seomrorlea
of the state Democratic convention.

Mobile, Ala., Aug. 29.—Will Thomp
son, a negro 19 years of age, arrested
by police for criminal assault upon
white children of this city, confessed
this morning to the wholesale assault
of white and negro children. In every
instance a deserted hou/ie, in the south
part ot town, was used by the negro to
execute his purposes.
Under guard of the police, Thompson
was given a hearing today. A number
of his victims were present and their
testimony of treatment at the hands of
the negro was revolting. Thompson
was sent to Jail without bail.
Although the people are holding their
feelings In restraint, trouble Is ex'

YOUNG LADIES ADVERTISED
TO BE AUCTIONED OFF
Fassengtrs of East Fair street cars are amazed every day to zee In
real life what Cartoonist Brewerton has plctursd above—a bevy of
pretty young women over whom the legend In box car letters appears:
AUCTION.
An! the funny thing about It Is that the young ladles appear to be
so utterly unconscious of the remarkable Juxtaposition of femininity and
sign.
As the car passes this boarding house near the comer of Fair and
Moore streets, the passengers rubber and grin: some of the ladles blush,
others turn their faces the other way, but none seems to realize the
real reason why.
Yet everybody on the car makes a more or less witty remark about
the auction belles.

Philadelphia, Aug. 29.—A crowd of
nngry depositors, Including many wo
men, clashed with the police today tn
front of the collapsed real estate trust
company building at Broad and Chest
nut streets.
The line blocked the city's business
and the detail of police left on guard
over night was unable to cope with
them.
At flrst the women depositors gave
vent to their feelings by tears, but
Anally the crowds pressed forward and
made threats against the officers.
With the greatest difficulty the police
kept them from storming the building.
The victims refused to disperse, how
ever, even when threatened with arrest,
and further outbreaks are expected.
"Kill the officers now and Investigate
later,” shouted an excited man In the
crowd. He was promptly arrested.
Reserves Called Out
The hank building Is closed and
even the employees are barred. Many
aged clergymen are among those who
suffered through the $7,000,000 failure.
Police reserves were called out In
greater numbers and up to this time,
at least, have managed to prevent any
overt act. The temper of the crowd,
however, Is very ugly.
The crowd recognized F. Norden
Hippie, son of the dead president, who
works In the Real Estate Trust Com
pany as he was going out to lunch and
made a rush for him. It was with
great difficulty the police rescued him
from the angry crowd.
THE RELIGION OF MAN

N this day of higher civilisation and
cultivation, when specialists in nit
branches of life are yo lu vogue, per
haps, one snould hardly he surprised at the
rivalry existing between the churches of
God, nnd although "au fod," nil must nek
nowledge that true religion Is not an nc
ceptance of any particular creed or a bur
den of commandments, still there are
many prominent ministers of today who
may be Justly termed "religious special

If Indifference Is paralysis of the soul, Is

differences upon the soul.
Love Is not dependent upon Intellect, and

Waiting Cow 8avsd a Fine.
Councilman Holland occupied tho
bench at Wednesday’s session of the
police court. His vocabulary seemed
limited to "fifteen dollars or thirty
days," for that was the sentence nlne-
tenths of tha culprits received. Tho
morning docket contained only cases
of Idling and loitering, drunk and dis
orderly and the usual routine grind of
the police court. Mercy was shown In
one case, a white man from near De
catur, pleading that his cow* was wait
ing to be milked nnd his pig squealing
to be fed. The man had only taken on
too many Decatur street drinks and
was released with a warning to go
and sin no more.
New Cotton Rate for Dublin.
The rate on cotton from Dublin to
Savannah has been lowered by the
railroad commission from 38 to 32
cents per 100 pounds. Complaint was
made by the citizens of Dublin, who
demonstrated that they were similarly
situated to llawklnsvllle and Eastman,
which places enjoy the 32-cent rate.
In combatting It the railroads attempt
ed to show that Dublin Is not a com
mon point, but the commission could
not see It from that viewpoint. The
82-cent rate Is on uncompressed cot
ton, the carrier being given the privi
lege of compressing If It sees fit.
