THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER in, lOflfr. IT IS PROPOSED TO GIVE SERVICE OF GOLD TO BATTLESHIP^ “GEORGIA Movement Will Soon Be Started to Raise Fund For Purpose—Native Prod ucts Only To Be Used. A movement will loon be started to nlse a fund to secure a gold service Bide of native Georgia gold, mounted upon a marble table upheld by mar ble suports, also from the north Peor ia hills. to be presented to the officers *f the battleship Georgia when It is commissioned In Georgia waters some time In October or November. The suggestion first came from Colo ur! Steve Posted, the veteran war cor respondent of the Spanlsh-Amerlcan hostilities. He mentioned the matter lo'capt J. W. English, of this city, and ..-Senator J. Ferris Cann, of Savan nah Captain English said he could raise all the money necessary for the nurpose right here In Atlanta, but thought It best for the trade boards In earh city to contribute, so as to make Ex-Senator Cann also said he could ,0 on the floor of his board of trade In Savannah and raise the amount in an hour’s time. It Is proposed to ask the railroads to five a low rate on this occasion. A Jent a mile rate would put 50,000 vis itors In Savannah on that occasion. The Idea Is to bring the battleship as near as possible, stationing her so that She can get a good swing In the current, and secure all the available vessels from Charleston, Brunswick, Darien and St. Mary's and from a flo tilla of excursion, boats, with a 25- cent charge, and Sail around the bat tleship In a circle In a grand review. This could be repeated all during the say until every one had a chance to Inspect the big ship, the fleetest In the world, and the largest In the American na \Vhen the late President McKinley was last here, Mr. Stovall asked him "Georgia " ame t0 name thlB battle,ht P He rejoined that he did It of his own volition, without a petition from this state or a. suggestion from anyone. He had five battleships to name then, and although hts own state, Ohio,- was ask ing for one, he told.them they, would have to wait till the next time. ' Upon several trips he had made to Georgia, the people had treated him so hospitably and with so much kindness and consideration he determined to show his appreciation In naming the ship Georgia, although no request for that purpose had been made to him. President McKinley told him that he had always accepted the Invitation of the people to visit thlB state, and that he expected to accept any others that came from Georgia. Inexorable fate, however, decreed that that was to be his last visit here. Governor Terrell about a year ago commissioned a young lady of Athens to raise a fund for a silver service, but this lady Is now In Europe, having giv en up the project. The suggestion of the gold service has met a popular chord. . The top of the table will be made very likely of verd antique marble, with the letters "Georgia” Inlaid In the top with coblte marble, then giving them a bold relief In the dark green back ground. The supports of the table will be made of different colored Georgia mar. ble. This occasion would also give an op. portunlty to thousands In the Interior and northern portion of the state who never saw a battleship or even old ocean, over which ten thousand vessels sweep In vain.

Organization which will tend to bring together all the. railroad telegraphers In the state of Georgia was effected at a Joint meeting of the Georgia division of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, held at Federation hall, H 1-2 North Forsyth street, Sunday afternoon. Because of a misunderstanding in the date, there were only about 100 out of an expected 300 telegraphers at the session, but officers were elected and the second Sunday In every month set tled upon as the day of meeting. The object of organizing, as stated by F. J. Parham, of Jonesboro, chief tel egrapher-elect. Is to bring the railroad telegraph service up to the highest standard and to have the national order recognized by those railroads In Geor gia which at the present time are on the "unfair list." This latter was not discussed at the meeting to any extent, but will be taken up In the near future as soon as the Georgia division Is In good running order. The Order of Railroad Telegraphers Is recognized and holds contracts with the Southern railroad, the Seaboard Air Line, the Central of Georgia and the Georgia railroad at the present time. The Louisville and Nashville, the At lanta and West Point and the Atlantic Coast Line are the larger railroads which are on the "unfair Hat," and which It Is the purpose of the organiza tion to bring to terms. "We are not organizing for any bel ligerent purposes, you understand," said Mr. Parham, "but for the betterment of the service and to protect the public at large os well as ourselves. It Is our hope, and It wilt be one of the alms of the organization, to have the order recognize;} by all the railroads In Geor gia, and we believe this well be the ul timate outcome, .but we have no desire at the present time to effect thfs through harsh means. On some of the roads with which the order holds con tracts, all of the operators are mem bers of the union. As an average on all the roads which recognize the order We have 90 per cent of the operators. The organization will be a strong one.' Revival of Interest, The organization Sunday might b< properly termed a reorganization, as some years ago the International body had a strong division In this state and In local quarters still Is strong. The men who gathered at the Feder ation hall Sunday well represented every prominent railroad section of Georgia, ahd enthusiasm was well mixed with stolid determination to make the order as strong In this as In any other state In the Union. The names and resident towns of those elected to office 1 Sunday follow: Chief Telegrapher—F. J. Parham, Jonesboro. Secretary—J. T. Llvsey. East Point. First Vice Chief Telegrapher—H. C. Link, Rome.
