The Savannah *News of yesterday morn
ing contains a long story to the effect
that Hon. Fleming <l. dußignon will op
pose Senator Bacon for re-election and
that in return for services rendered in
the lit.- gubernatorial campaign. Colonel
Candler will help him make the race. In
part, the story says:
“Camlhi'. overwhelming victory in
Monday - primary election is regarded in
Savannah a having much more signifi
cance than merely rurfnee signs would in
dicate. Its effect on the future of state

political future of Hon Fleming G. du-

after declining to be the Populist candi
dal.' for governor, is credited with having
said to an acquaintance:
" ‘Tlie coming primary election of the
Democratic party is to determine more

(hoigin It i to decide. In a very large
meaure. who shall be the next Democrat

"Mr ditißignon's friends in Savannah
and dotibllesi throughout the state look
upon Hie ii ult of Monday’s contest as
having materially strengthened him as a
candidate for tlie senatorship two years
hence against Hon. A. O. Ba'on who, it is
ixpeeted. will come before the legislature
of dliti.O for re-election. Mr. dußignon’s
rtUiport of Mr. Candler n.Uurally drew
him close to the supporters of that candi
date, who were especially numerous and
influential in middle and north Georgia.

behalf. Mr. dußignon. I believe, will be a
sure winner. In my opinion, be will from
now on be regard! d as an opponent of
Senator Bacon. He is stronger today than
ever before in Georgia politics and has
every reason to anticipate that he can join
his warm friend. Mr. Clay, in the senate
chamber when Mr. Bacon’s t. rm expires.”
_ Tlie story was n< w. of a Spanish sort to
everybody in town, including the two gen
tlemen most concerned. A representative
of the Atlanta Constitution handed it to
Mr. dußignon yesterday afternoon just as
the litter was almut to board a train for
Athens, and, after reading it through, Mr.
dußignon said:
‘‘There is not a word of truth in that.
I have not talked about the senator, hip to
Colonel Candli r or to any.:>ody else, and I
think those who know both Colonel Cann
ier and myself will hardly suspect that
we have entered into any such a deal. I
supported the colonel because I believed
him to be the best man for tho office he
sought, and I am glad that an overwhelm
ing majority of the state thought as I did.
But I am not a candidate for anything and
have not asked anybody’s support for any
thing. The senatorship is a long ways off
yet.”
Later in* the day the same story was
shown to Cojonel Candler, and he smiled
as he read it. Then he said:
“Neither Mr. dußignon nor any of his
friends have ever mentioned to me the
subject of the United Slates senatorship.
The article in question was evidently
written by' an ardent friend of Mr. du-
Bignon who drew conclusions, not from
information, but from surrounding cir
cumstances, as he saw them. So far as I
am concerned, neither the senatorship nor
any' other office, save only the governor
ship. has played any part in the campaign
just closed. J haye studiously avoided
complicating Jt in any way with any other
office or candidacy."

GEORGE PAYNE
WILLLOSE JOB
Commissioner Nisbett Says
Openly That ths State
Chemist Must Go,
100 MUCH 10 Founts
And Tried to Play on Both Sides,
Says the Commissioner Who
Controls the Office.
The following interesting story appears
in the Constitution this morning:
State Chemist George F. Payue, In an
alleged over-zealous effort to cinch his job
for the next two years', has thrown himself
completely out of a position. Colonel R. T.
Nesbitt, the commissioner of agriculture,
has quietly announced to his friends taut
Mr. Payne will have to vacate the posi
tion as state chemist. As .the position is
entirely in the hands of the commissioner,
and as Colonel Nesbitt considers himself
highly justified in firing Mr. Payne, the
chemist will soon have a successor.
Too much politics is said to bfc responsi
; ble for the had fortune that has befallen
i Mr. Payne. His venture into the political
i field is also responsible for the flood of in
! dignation that is overflowing everything tn
the department of agriculture at ‘he Capi
tol. Mr. Payne, it is charged, played a
double hand in the great game of politics,
which ended with the show-down last Mon
day. Colonel Nesbitt’s friends say it has
been proved that Payne was a Nesbitt man
when with the Nesbitt crowd, and tnat he
was equally as enthusiastic for Stevens
when wjth Stevens’ friends. It is charged
that his [dan was to make himself certain
of his present position, no matter whp
might win for commissioner of agriculture.
Colonel Nesbitt’s friends openly charge
that Payne was in Houston county work
ing against him, while Colonel Nesbitt
supposed hirp to he exerting hlmsejf in his
favor. Payne says he went to Houston
county to work for Colonel NeSbitt, accord
ing to certain statements, but anyway
Houston gave Colonel Stevens a majority
of 400.
According to Colonel Nesbitt, Payne is a
yerjfable Judas. He charges that tfte
chemist betrayed him. The commissioner
placed absolute confidence in Mr. Payne,
and implicitly trusted that the influence
exerted by Mr. Payne in his behalf would
.benefit him greatly at the election. Now
he charges that Payne, while avowing the
closest and most sincere frlendsh'p, be
trayed him to Colonel Stevens.
Mr. Payne loses his job for the remainder
of his term, which would have continued
so October, but he may also have wrecj<e.|
himself with the incoming administration.
The plan, as detailed by a gentleman who
claims to be familiar with the facts, is as
follows:
“Mr. Payne wept to Colonel 0. R. Ste
vens and told him he was an earnest advo
cate of his election, and was just as -ac
tively opposed to the re-election of Colo
nel Nesbitt. He showed Colonel Stevens a
list of counties, and said he could defeat
Colonel Stevens in all of them, 'but as he
was for him. he would not do so. He
said he would carry all of the counties in
the list for Colonel Stevens, and begged
that Colonel Stevens would consider him
on an equal footing with tlie other candi
dates for state chemist. Colonel Stevens,
of course, promised to consider the appli
cation as he would the others.
“Payne thought that Colonel Stevens
would be elected, but was not certain
enought to cut loose from Golpnel Nesbitt.
He wanted to ride both horses so as to be
sure of his job. It is claimed that he work
ed hard all day for Colonel Stevens on
election day, and at the same time Colonel
Nesbitt had his assurance that he would
work for him."
Colo'nel Nesbitt and his friends are
highly offended at Payne's alleged miscon
duct. and it is said that the men who make
up Colonel Stevens' strongest backing ad
mire Mr. Payne no more than do Colonel
Nesbitt’s friends. A gentleman close to
Colonel Nesbitt said yesterday that a new
state chemist would be in office within a
few days.
CALL IS COMING
For Another Regiment of Volunteers From
Georgia.
The call for Georgia’s third regiment of
state volunteers will be made upon Gover
nor Atkinson tomorrow. The governor re
ceived telegraphic notification yesterday
that the call would be issued by the war
department Saturday.
This removes the last element of doubt
from the situation. The delay in calling
for the regiment made some of the inter
ested parties believe that the call would
not be made. It is now certain that nearly
a hundred Georgians will be given commis
sions, and that a regiment of patriots will
be given an opportunity to slaughter the
Spaniards,
Governor Atkinson will issue his proc
lamation calling for volunteers immediate
ly upon receiving the call from Washing
ton. He will do this as a matter of form,
for there is no necessity, as enough men
to form a regiment have already been of
fered to Colonel Candler. The names of
the officers who will command the Third
Georgia regiment will then be announced.
The governor has matured his plans for
organizing the regiment and officering the
command. He has been flooded with appli
cations for commissions and is so overbur
dened with the hundreds of requests that
come every day that he hardly knows
where to begin. It was suggested yester
day that the best plan to make the ap
pointments would ibe to first issue commis
sions to the dozen or so of men in the state
who haven’t applied and in this way re
ward modesty.
At least one civilian, or a man w r ho does
not belong to the state military, will go as
officer in each company in the new regi
ment. This much has definitely been de
termined. The call to the state will be to
the civilians and will not be confined to the
military. The first call gave the militia
the preference, but this last call is to the
people without preference.
Notwithstanding that the call will not be
to the military, it is expected that more
military men will go than went under the
first call. Colonel Candler will carry a
large part of the Fifth Regiment, and Col
onel Usher Thomason will carry a greater
part of the Third regiment. Then there
will be several independent companies,
made up of the military of the different
parts of the state.
The officers of the Fifth regiment are to
be given a good showing, the governor
says. At a conference already held nearly
all of the officers have tendered their serv
ices to go with. Colonel Candler. The offi
cers will be accepted, and it is expected
that they will carry the majority of their
men. Among the men who are spoken of
for captains’ places is Harvey Johnson.
'Mr. Johnson has 'been making an effort to
go as major under the new regiment, but
it is said that he will be offered a commis
sion as captain.
Colonel John S. Candler held a long con
ference with the governor yesterday after
noon. and it was said that at the meeting
the names of the twelve captains were de
termined upon. The two were together
for quite a while.

MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE io TB9B.
What is Going
On in Society.
I* is always interesting to hear of new
fields for women to work in, and the fol
lowing from the New Orleans Picayune
shows how much confidence Is placed in
one woman by the officials of a prominent
railway:
“For the first time in the history of
American railroading, a woman, or rather
a ’girl, has been made train dispatcher of
an important line. The young lady in
question is Miss Edith Jarnagin, who has
just been appointed train dispatcher of
the Chattanooga Southern by General
Manager Hoskins. Strictly speaking, a
dispatcher is a telegraph operator, though
with duties far transcending those ordi
narily performed by an operator. Miss
Jarnagin is only lb now. She is a Georgia
girl. She was a master of Morse and
drawing a salary as a telegraphed at 14.
Two years ago she removed with her pa
rents to Chattanooga, Tenn., and entered
the telegraphic service ot the cjueen and
Crescent. One year ago she entered the
general manager's office of the Cnatta
pooga Southern, and General Manager
Hoskins, who is himself an old telegrapher
and thorough railroad man, gave her every
opportunity to develop the talent which
has just been recognized by her promotion
U> chief train dispatcher. Miss Jaruagin
is a very beautiful and amiable girl, and
in her leisure hours is quite a society
favorite. It is no joke to be a train dis
patcher. To some people the title may be
meaningless; railroad, people know that it
denotes an official upon whom rests al
most the sole responsibility for the safety
of many human lives. The train dis
patcher is a porsonage. The engineer and
conductor can manage their own trains,
but the dispatcher .manages them all.
Every railroad has its time schedule, but
if there be many trains over the line, per
haps a majority, and sometimes all of
them, are off the schedule time. Then the
dispatcher becomes a living schedule. Not
a wheel can be turned without his special
order. By the reports from the operators
along the route he knows the position of
every train, the capacity of every engine,
and cf every man; he knows the accom
modation of every siding, the exact topog
raphy of the road. In his complete fitness
the train dispatcher combines knowledge
of telegraphy, infallible mathematical
gifts, tact, a cool nerve and memory.
Every train is sped from starting point to
destination by th? gultUnee o r that com
manding general or railroad traffic.”

CIRCULAR FOR
FRUITGROWERS
Will be Sent Out bv the Com
mittee Stating the Whole
Situation.
MH TAKE THEIR CHOICE,
A Prominent Grower Says That the
Railroads are Going to Run
the Fruit Industry,
The committee having in charge the
question of the refrigerator car to be used
’by the fruit growers during the coming
season are in session again today at the
Brown House.
They will draw up a circular to be sent
out to the growers all over the state, in
which they will outline the situation and
will give the prices of the competing lines.
They will put the whole matter before
the growers as the report of the commit
tee and will eave it to the growers them
•elves to patronize any line of refrigerator
cars that they may desire.
I* is no. protable, however, that the
growers will accept the offer made by the
Armon people view of the fait that
the p-1 tes askel ty them are very oas> l
erably in advance of the prices chat will
be charged by the other lines that come
into competition.
The committee will, however, state to
the growers that when they have taken
their choice if they decide to take the cars
of other companies than the Armour peo
ple,. and the Central railroad refruses to
take those cars, the fruit growers will fight
the barb’ of the grower who has been te
fused the privilege by the Central of taking
the most economical method if shipping
his fruit. • - •
Ope of the most promient growers in
the state said this morning to a News re
porter that notwithstanding the fact that
the growers have been working hard for
the past eight years and have had many
disappointments and the crop this year
promised well, the action of the railroads
in scooping all the sugar threatens to so
dishearten the growers In the state that
the peach growing industry in the state
will be completely killed.
He said that the fact that the railroads
were about to make an effort to gouge the
growers to the tune of $25,000 would have
an incalculable influence for bad on the
industry, and that it would drive away in
vestors by the thousand,
“This is Georgia’s opportunity,” he said,
“and if the railroads are going to act the
hog, they med-expect no mercy from the
people of the state. They do not deserve
it. They have come among us monopoliz
ing and combining, and have told us that
it was necessary for them lb combine in
order that the stock folders might get any
thing oat of it. But here eqmes the first
year wh rq t-'C fruit glowers of the state
have had an opportunity to do anything
for themselves and the railroads have gob
bled the profits, or they propose to do so,
relying on. their strength and thinking
that they have the newspapers of the state
sufficiently muzzled to prevent an outcry,
but we are thankful that the Macon News
is ready to fight the battle, and you can
rest assured that the people of the state
will appreciate the stand that this paper
is taking in their interests and that the
fight will be a winning one.
“The railroad combination has not done
wisely to arouse the fruit growers to ac
tion, fqr they will find that they have
made a great mistake and have run
against a snag.’

Wall Street Beys Hava a New Game.
The fnii.ll boys dow n in Wall street and
neighboring thoroughfares have a new
game which they call ‘guessing.” One of
them takes u cent, turns it over on its
back, and the other players guess its date.
If any of them comes within three years
of the date, the holder pays each of the
lucky guessers a cent. Those who fail to
guess within three years of the date pay
the holder of the piece a cent each. All
the players in the game rub their fingers
over the back of the cent. They say that
if it is rough it has not been coined long,
and that it is probably not more than a
year or two old. If the cent feels smooth,
the players hold that it has been made so
by much handling, and that it waa mint
ed a number of years ago. The boys who
win the most money at the game are those
who have the most delicate touch and
from much experience at playing the game
can come pretty near to guessing the age
of the cent by just rubbing their fingers
over the back of it. Now and then one of
the boys will fool the players by holding
out a newly made cent which he has made
smooth by sandpapering or some other
process.—New York Tribune.
As They See Uu From England.
Here is one of the fairy teles about
American customs that find credence in
England. It is from one of the leading so
ciety weeklies: “The professional brides
maid is one of the latest transatlantic in
stitutions. Whether from unwillingness
to incur expense or to receive the cost of a
dress from the bride’s family, the young
ladies who belong to the creme de la creme
of New York society are no longer avail
able for this purpose. Some say they are
not invariably up to the accepted standard
of beauty. So it comes about that a good
looking, graceful girl may earn <3V and
all expenses for appearing at one of the
fashionable matrimonial ceremonies of
Fifth avenue. The other day a fair bride
was followed to church by no fewer than
15 hired virgins to bear her company. An
exceptionally charming young lady can
command even a bigger remuneration, and
one of the most successful of these femi
nine acolytes is said to expect at least f 100.
She has officiated on 200 occasions and
saved s2<j.oOO, so that her own turn may
come very soon.” *
