THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. MONDAY, BBPTEMDEU 10, 190). 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 soon be started to „l, e a fund to secure a gold service ma de of native Georgia gold, mounted upon a marble table upheld by mar ble euports, also from the north Geor gia hiiis, to be presented to the officers ‘ ( the battleship Georgia when It le commissioned In Georgia waters some time In October or November. The suggestion first came from Colo nel Steve Postell, the veteran war cor- runondent of the Spanlsh-Amerlcdn hostilities. He mentioned the matter fo "apt. J. W. English, of this city, and ...Senator J. Ferris Cann, of Savan nah Captain English said he could “V all the money necessary for the purpose right here It) Atlanta, but thought It best for the trade boards In each city to contribute, so as to make it general. Ex-Senator Cann also said he could on the floor of his board of trade In savannah and raise the amount In in hour's time. It Is proposed to ask the railroads to ,lve a low rate on this occasion. A rent a mile rate would put 60,000 vis itors In Savannah on that occasion. The Idea Is to bring the battleship as nesr as possible, stationing her so ihit she can gft a good swing In the current, and secure all the available vessels from Charleston. Brunswick, Darien and St. Mary's and from a flt>- ,111, of excursion boats, with a 116- tent charge, and sail around the bat tleship in a circle In a grand review. This could be repeated all during the day until every one had a chance to Inspect the big ship, the fleetest In the world, and the largest In the American "’when the late President McKinley whi iff* here ’ , Mr ' Stovall asked him "Georgia." t0 nam ® ‘h** battle,h| P He rejoined that he did It of his own volition, without a petition from this state or a suggestion from anyone. He *>*“ flv « battleships to name then, and although hie own state, Ohio, was ask- Ingr for one, he told them they would have to watt 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 MoKInley told him that he had always accepted the Invitation of the people to vlelt this 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 sliver 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 eoblte 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 portunity 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.

Because of a misunderstanding In the date, there were only about 100 out of an expected 800 telegraphers at the session, but officers were elected and the second Sunday In every month set' tied upon as the day of meeting. The object of organizing,*aa 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 recognised by those railroads In Geor gla 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 futuro os 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 list," and which It Is the purpose of the organlza tlon to bring to terms. "We are not organizing for any be! llgerent purposes, you understand,” said Mr. Parham, "but for the betterment of the service and to protect the public at large as well as ourselves. It Is our hope, and It will be one of the alms of the organization, to have the order recognized 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 this 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.
