TO SUCCEFD WIMBUSH.
Ed Brown to Become the Attorney of the
W. & A., R. R.
The. Atlanta Journal says; In spite of the
house reolutions asking him to retain Mr.
W. A. AVimbish as special attorney for
the Western and Atlantic railroad, Gov
ernor Candler will probably appoint M.
E. F. Brown, of Athens, to that position
from the Ist of January.
The goveronr takes no stock in the leg
islative view ihai this is not an appoint
ive office, and will act on his own view
of the matter.
The governor’s position, as stated by
him today, is that there are oniy two
kinds of offices, appointive and elective,
and that this office is not elective.
This seems to indicate clearly that the
governor does not accept the view of the
house as stated in its resolution.
The position as special attorney for the
Western and Atlantic railroad has always
been an important one, and through the
work of >Mr. Wimbish the state has recov
ered half a million dollars’ worth of prop
er,ty; . . . c ' ' ‘<*l!
Ihe position is of especial importance
in view of the fact that this official is
designated as one of the commission to
settle the union depot question at At
lanta. . »
The position was first created by the
act of 1892, and continued by the resolu
tion of 1893. Judge William A. Little was
appointed in 1892 and held the place till
1894, when he resigned.
Mr. W. A. Wimbish was appointed by
Governor Northen >and has held the posi
tion ever since.
On the 31st of December, 1897, Governor
Atkinson placed on the minutes of the ex
ecutive depaitment continuing Mr Wim
bish In office upon the condition that he
would complete the business pending, and
when the legislature met he recommend-
that this office be abolished.
The legislative committee on the West
ern and Atlantic railroad, 'after looking
into the business of the special attorney,
1 ecommended that the office be continued
and in the same report highy commended
Air. Wimbisn.
The house put in the appropriation bill
$2,000 salary for each of the years 1899
and 1900 for the special attorney for the
Western and Atlantic railway.
The senate struck out this appropriation
but subsequently receded without await
ing for a conference committee.
That was on the afternoon of the last
day and it was rumored that a new man, ‘
Mr.’ Ed Brown, would be put into the
office in place of Air. Wimbish.
Then it was that the house of represen
adepted the resolution requesting the gov
ernor to retain Air. Wimbish and declar
ing that the office was not appointive.
Since then the matter has been in abey
ance. but the governor will probably dis
pose of it this week, and it seems a prob
ability amost amounting to a certainty
that Air. Brown will be appointed to hold
from January 1, 1899.
While the friends of. Air. Wimbish have
insisted that the office was appointive,
and that he should not be disturbed by the
executive, others have urged the governor
to appoint Mr. Brown, and still others
have suggested Judge Joel Branham, of
Rome.
Air. Brown, it wil be remembered, was
chairman of the central Candler club and
spent some weeks in Atlanta looking after
Colonel Candler's campaign. He also had
an active part in launching the Candler
boom in Clarke county.
THAT THROBBING HEADACHE

sick and nervous headaches. They make
pure blood and strong nerves and build
up your health. Easy to take. Try them.

TWO POINTED QUESTIONS ANSWER
ED.
What is the use of making a better ar
ticle than your competitor if you cannot
get a better price for it?
Ans. As there is no difference in the
price the public will, buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much larger
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
that your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment upon them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy. The people have
been using it for years and have found
that it can always be depended upon They
may occasionally take up with some fash
ionable novelty put forth with exaggerated
claims, but are certain to return to the
one remedy that they know to be reliable.
And for coughs, colds and croup there is
nothing equal to Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. For* sale by H. J. Lamar &

OUR SOLDIERS
. IN HAVANA
They Will Devote Their At
tention Mainly to the
Preservation of Order.
By Associated Press.
Ne v York, Dec. 28 —A dispatch to the
World from Havana says:
The military admipistration of Havana
under Alajor General Ludlow will be de
voted to the preservation of order in the
city and the protection of life and prop
erty. The wbik of public improvements
will not be commenced for some time —not
in any case until the organization of a
government for the island has been com
pleted. The public franchises recently
granted will remain Ln etatu quo.
General Ludiow, asked about this mat
ter by the World correspondent today said:
"1 understand that upon the withdrawal
of the Spanish authorities the promoters
of the various enterprises will submit
their propositons anew to the American
authorities.
“Nothing will done for the present. Our
work is not to improve the street car ser
vice or to tear up streets for sewers but
to protect life and property. ’’
When asked if he feared any serious
disturbance General Ludlow said: “The
•emper of rhe people seems entirely favor
able to the Americans and I anticipate no
trouble.
“The first attempt at disorder will be
put down by American troops aided, if
necessary* by our Cuban auxiliaries.
“General Menocal, the Cuban leader at
'Marianao, has offered the services of his
forces for this purpose and if required they
will be used.’’

to hide their beauty by covering
the lower part of the face with a veil.
