A NEW POSTMABTKI ?
Republican Candidate Has Been at Work In
Washington.
Whether Rome is to get a new post
master seems to be a debated question.
A strong effort has been made to have
Postmaster Vandiver serve out the re
mainder his term which is about three
years.
But the republicans are stirring up
things. Walter H. Johnson, the mar
shal for the northern district of Geor
gia, has been in Washington the past
week, and the question of the Rome
postoffice has been up. The leading
candidates for the office are Joseph J.
Hamilton and W. H. Ebling,
Mr. Hamilton is a sou of Col. D. B.
Hamilton and one of North Georgia’s
most prominent young men. He has
been a successful business man and iron
manufacturer and would make a most
efficient postmaster. He is endorsed by
the leaning republicans of the state and
the prominent business interests.
Mr. Ebling is a tailor and has some
very good endorsements.
Mr. Hamilton has been in Washing
ton the past week with Mr. Johnson,
and is expected home tonight. He will
doubtless be able to tell something inter
esting about the situation.

ONE DIVISION CAMPED AT MOBLEY
Corp in Charge of Chief H. M. Wil«on. This
Work :■ Being: Done In Every
Station in This Union,
A large division of the United States
topographical survey is now iu Rome
preparing to do considerable work in
this section.
Chief H. M. Wilson arrivt d yesterday
from Washington, and will at once
organize his men into two parties of six
mt n each, including a colored cook.
One party will be encamped at Mob
ley springs for several weeks, while the
survey through this section is being
made.
The other division will go into Ala
bama and gradually work towards
Florida. They are thoroughly equipped
with wagons camping cut parephrenalia
and everything necessary for the busi
ness.
This work is in accordance with an
appropriation from congress for a topo
graphical survey of the whole of the
United States. Many states supplement
the government appropriation with an
additional sum, and by this means se
cure a complete survey of the state so
doing.
Georgia haa made no such appropria
tions, and will not secure as thorough
survey as Massachusetts which did.
There are ten men in all, and they
are divided into two parties. They
carry a negro cook for each squad
J ust ;try a 10c. box of Cascarets, the
finest liver and bowel regulator ever
made.

Filling Up With Refugees.
No apprehension exists in Rome regard
ing the yellow fever gaining a hold in
this city. But the authorities are taking
all proper precautions.
The sewers were flushed yesterday af
ternoon, and there is a general cleaning
up about the city. Only a few refugees
have come here. ’
But they continue to pour into Atlanta.
It is said that fully fifteen hundred are
already there, and every train brings
them. The Journal last evening says:
‘Tn spite of the various rumors that
gained circulation yesterday and this
morning to the effect that yellow fever
had appeared in Atlanta, there is not a
single suspicious case of fever of any
sort in the eity and has not been since
the outbreak of the epidemic among the
cities.
‘■Chief Veal, of the sanitary department
has been unremitting in his attention to
all cases of sickness reported, and after
the most thorough investigatisn is able
to state positively that the rumors are
without loundation.”
