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 Would quickh- leave you if you used Dr. ing's New Life Pills.

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 & Sons. ’99 Ramble s SIO. Typewriters. up; fresh stock car bon and ribbons. J. W.

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.’’ 0-A.SSTOXI.XA.
