” I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. IT IS PROPOSED TO GIVE SERVICE OF GOLD TO BA TTLESHIP “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 pjlse a tund to secure a gold service made of native Georgia gold, mounted up0I1 a marble table upheld by mar ble suports, also from the north Geor gia hills, to be presented to the officers of the battleship Georgia when It Is commissioned In Georgia waters some time In October or November. The suggestion first came from Colo nel Steve Postell. the veteran war cor espondent of the Spanlsh-Amerlcan hostilities. He mentioned the matter to capt. J. W. English, of this city, and lr.Senator J. Ferris Cann, of Savan nah Captain English said he could nige all the money necessary for the purpose right here In Atlanta, but thought It beet for the trade boards In each city to contribute, so as to make It general. Ei-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 tlve a low rate on this occasion. A rtdt a mile rate would put 80,000 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 Awing In the current, and secure all the available veasels 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 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 wa » here, Mr. Stovall asked him why he came to name this battleship Georgia." He rejoined that he did It of his own volition, without a petition from this state or a suggestion from anyone. He had live battleships to name then, and although his 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 MaKInley told him that he had always accepted the Invitation of the people to visit 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 silver service, but this lady la now In Europe, having glv, 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 cobite 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.

Parham, of Jonesboro, chief tel egrapher-elect, la to bring the railroad telegraph service up to the highest standard and to have the national order recognized 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 trill 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 nnd 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 la the purpose of the organise, tlon to bring to terms.

It Is our hope, and It will be one of the alms of the organization, to have the order recognized by all the railroad* In Geor gia, and we believe this well be the ul timate outcome, but we have no dealre 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 recognise the order we have 90 per cent of the operators. The organization will be a strong one.' Revival of Interest.
