Poole Says Bishop Insulted
His Wife and He Struck
Him for That.
Special to The Georgian.
Rome, Ga., Dec. 8.—At 5 o’clock yes
terday afternoon, at the Wooten livery
stable, on Broad street, W. 8. Bishop,
overseer on the plantation of Hamilton
arancey, at Cedar Bluff, Ala., was shot
and seriously wounded by Leslie Poole,
a half-brother of Bishop's wife.
Leslie Poole and- S. C. Lindsay, both
of East Rome, went Into the livery sta
ble to take a drink, where they met
Bishop. Poole and Bishop walked off
bo the rear of the stable together.
Shortly afterwards the reports of a
. istol was heard, and Bishop came
back to the street with blood streaming
from him. He walked up the street to
the office of Dr. C. Hamilton, two blocks
away, where his wounds were dressed,
and he was afterwards sent to the hos
pital of Dr. Hamilton.
Three serious wounds were inflicted,
the bulletB lodging In Bishop's body.
Poole said: “Bishop Insulted my wife
seven or eight months ago and this is
the first time I had seen him since the
time. We had a difficulty, but there
were’ no shots fired. The place on
Bishop's cheek is where I struck him
with my fist. I heard a report, but
thought. It was a mule kicking in a
stall.”
The trial of Lester Poole, which was
tp havo come up before Recorder Spul-
lock this morning, has been postponed
until Monday, on account of the ab
sence of one of tha witnesses.
The wounded man Is thought this
morning to be out of danger, unless
some unforeseen complication arises.

Got a Postal Telegraph frank?
Then you’d better hustle out your
messages before January 1, 1907.
Why?
Because President Clarence H. Mack
ey says that the frank business of the
Postal will be n thing of the post after
that date. Pretty hard on pooplo who
have hud tho satisfaction of sending
messages and only the trouble of tear
ing a little stamp out of a book and af
fixing It to tho message.
But everybody will be on an equal
footing after December 31. Y’ou walk
up, hand tn jour message and an ade
quate amount of the tnaxuma. Noth
ing else goes. The resolution passed
by the hoard of directors reads:
"Owing to changed conditions It has
been found necessary to stop nil free
transmission of messages, end this
company will absolutely discontinue Its
free list on mid after January 1, 1907,
and no free service whatsoever will be
performed thereafter.”

BISHOP SEYMOUR
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Springfield, Ohio, Dec. 8.—Ttie Right
Rev. George F’ranklln Seymour, Kpls-
copal bishop of Springfield. Ule.l today.
He wA T7 years of age and vfa* born
In New Y’ork. He was consecrated

nllglcul seminar)' and In 185.V was or

HAS REACHED LIMIT.
But the institution has reached
its limit of growth on the present
campus. Dr. Matheaon states that
it cannot remain on its present
campus if it continues to grow as
in the past.
It needs more buildings aud
there is not room on the pres
ent campus for them. On ac
count of this lack of room, it was
necessary to place the Carnegie
library of the school much too
close to other buildings. This li
brary. which is just being com
pleted, has taken up all the availa
ble room for buildings left on the
campus.
Dr. Matheson's request is for
aid of a very small nature and the
citizens of Atlanta should be will
ing to subscribe ten times tho
amount without n moment’s hesi
tation. There should not ho the
least trouble in getting the $5,
500 asked by Dr. Matheson.
Money subscribed for the pur
pose of enlarging the campus of
•the Georgia School of Technology
would he an investment of tho best
kind. Business men arc constant
ly looking for places to put their
money so ns to reap a profit. But
here is an opportunity right at
their doors to reap big profits
from a small amount of money.
The profits aro reaped in this way:
WILL FIGURE PROFIT.
^ Georgia Tech lias 545 students.
These students live .in Atlanta
during the school period mid pur
chase most all their clothing in
this city. Money for incidentals
to a large amount is also expended
here. Over .1il00,000 worth of
goods arc annually bought from
firms of Atlanta by students of the
institution. Statistics which arc in
the hands of Dr. Matheson show
tlio names of two hundred firms
with which these students trade.
If the campus is not enlarged,
the school will bo forced to remain
at a stand-still, and no more stu
dents can be admitted. The
school has been increasing at u
tremendous pace and the probabil
ity is that it will continue to do
so. If the sniall space’ of three
acres which it is wished to secure
is purchased for the school, there
will be sufficient room to erect
buildings to accommodate all of
the students who want to enter.
This large number of new stu
dents will bring a large amount
of additional money to Atlanta,
which will be spent with the firms
of this city. In a little while, the
increase in money in circulation
in this city will moyo than make
up the amount of this subscription
contributed.
DIVIO PRIDE INVOLVED.
Bnt Atlanta should suhscribo
this amount not only as an invest
ment, but it should be done ns a
matter of civic pride.
One hundred and twenty-five
of the young men of Atlanta arc
students at Georgia Teeli and are
enjoying tho benefits of this edu
cational institution.
Graduates of the institution are
leading in the development of At
lanta's resources.
The institution, as the best en
gineering institution in the South,
is adding greatly to tho prestige
of the nity and is making it
known throughout the country
and even in other countries ns an
educational center.
Applications for catalogues
come from China, South Africa
and other places where the exis
tence of the institution has made
Atlanta known.
ATLANTA BENEFICIARY.
’ Atlanta is the chief beneficiary
of tlie school’s advancement nud
should willingly aid in keeping it
from decay.
For if the campus is not enlarg
ed, the school will be stagnated
and stagnation generally is fol
lowed by decay.
Presidents of four or five of the
greatest universities in the coun
try have stated that they consid
er Georgia Tech the leading engin
eering institution in the South.
Shall it be said of Atlanta that
for the want of a few thousand
dollars, she let such an institu
tion, the greatest in her borders,
go to decay?
Atlanta’s Plain Outy.

are locataq. At Phlliulelnhla the clt-
laens of that city subserlbeil tl.00A.90i)
for the erection of n single building,
an engineering building, for the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. The Inrsest
subscription was one for 125.000. The
others were small subscription* by
numerous persons. Philadelphia had a
civic pride which waa not to be hum
bled by an appeal for aid for her ed
ucational institutions
Compare the figures of the last cen
sus In respect to Atlanta and Phila
delphia, as to their respective ability to
give money for such purposes.
Atlanta had at th# time of the cen
sus 390 establishments, with a total
capital of >18,045,158. There were
9.366 wage-earners and the total wages
of these men were >3,103,989.
Philadelphia’s establishments num
bered 15,887, with a capital of >476,-
529,407. The average number of wage-
earner* waa 346,445. The total amount
of wagea came to >111,847,076.
The average capital to an establish
ment In Atlanta waa >41,141. while the
average capital to an establishment In
Philadelphia waa only >29.994. The
average wage per man In Atlanta waa
>»2, while that In Philadelphia was
>453.
t Interesting Comparison.
Tho men who generally contribute
toward matters of great Importance to
city are Its business men; lienee the
contributing capacity of a city may
be reckoned ■ by the nmount
of Its capital. Tho amount of capital
to each establishment In Atlanta Is
larger than the amount of capital per
establishment In Philadelphia. Hence
it appears that tile average business
innn of Atlanta should better be ublu
to contribute than the average busi
ness man of Philadelphia Of course
Philadelphia having a larger number of
men can naturally contribute M.OPO,-
000 more easily than Atlanta, but At
lanta, oven allowing Philadelphia her
larger number of men, can certainly
contribute >6,500 a hundred times
easier than Philadelphia can subscribe
for >1,000.000. Tile average wage per
man In Philadelphia I* slightly greater
than In Atlanta, but as has been said,
the larger number of men there ex
plains the cause.
The Only Way to Do It.
Geoigln has larger mineral resources
In her soli, Including gold, sliver, coal.
Iron, marble nnd many others. These
and her many other Industries denmnd
men skilled in technological subjects.
The best way to this skill Is nt a tech
nological Institution. Atlanta lias the
Institution. It Is being rapidly filled
with students. Numbers of skilled
technologists are unnually turned out
for the benefit of the city and the state.
These go to work to develop the re
sources of the city nnd state. The de
mand for these men is much greater
than tho supply. The school Is over
crowded. Tho only way to supply the
increasing demand Is to have more
students. The only wny to have more
students at a crowded Institution,
where number* urt* clamoring for ad
mission. Is lo enlarge the Institution
and Increase It* facilities.'
The three acres on which Dr. Math
eson has options until January 1 Is
the only land In the vicinity of Georgia
Tech which lias no buildings on It. II
can h* gotten now cheaper than In the
future. After January 1 it Is probable
that It cannot ever be serured. Dr.
Matheson ha* only >3,000 with which
to pay the purchase price of >7.500. He
needs >5,500 more. He asks the cit
izens of Atlanta for It.
The citizens of Atlanta must realize
the ■ efforts of the Institution to help It
and the state, nnd must reciprocate
with this little financial aid which Is
asked.

BUYS BIG HARDWOOD
FOREST IN GEORGIA
Special to Tho Georgian.
McRae, Ga., Dec. s.—A deal has been
consummated between F. R. Mann and
others of thfu county nnd a northern
company for several thousand ucres of
valuable hardwood forests, which Is In
great abundance In the creeks and
river vnlley* In this section.
This Is the first effort to place on
the market any of the ninny kinds of
hard woods In this section. These
woods have long been considered of
little value, ust us the vast areas of
yellow pines were only a few years
ago, but the quality of the wood Is all
that a manufacturer could wish.
BUILDING FACTORIES ,
AND MILL8 IN HELENA
Most men who shave themselves have one or more
good razors, a good strop, use good soap, and then are
compelled to go from pillar to post, as it were, to secure
a place where a mirror can be hung so ns to give even a
fair reflection for shaving, and if a location is found that
is fairly satisfactory for shaving by daylight, the very
opposite condition usually exists if occasion requires its
use by artificial light.
This mirror can be instantly raised or lowered to ad
mit of use standing or sitting, and whether the man is tall
or short, it can he adjusted to the exact height desired.
If sick or injured, nnd still able to use a razor, the stand
can be curried wherever desired; hut whether raised or
lowered, whether the light is natural or artificial, a per
fect reflection is always obtained, and no part of the
face can ever he in shadow, for tho mirror swivels to ev
ery conceivable angle, at the will of the user. The same
reasons that make it desirable for shaving purposes ap
ply to its ustftis an adjunct in the preparation of a wo
man’s toilet.
They ave made of gray iron castings and seamless
steel tubing, artistic in design, strongly constructed, and
fitted with best Freuch plate mirrors. They are finished
