Taft Stands by
Longstreet’s Widow
President Announces. She
Will Not Lose Gainesville
Postoffice Job
‘Atlvanta, Georgia Dec. s.—Mrs.
Helen D. Longstreet, postmaster
of Gainesville, will not be remo~-
ed from office by President Taft,
notwithstanding the fight made on
her and the tact that ber present
commission expires on Saturday
of this week,
President Taft authorized the
statement 1n Washington, after a
cabinet meeting late yesterday af
ternoon, that he will not disturb
Mrs, Longstreet, and she has been
so informed. :
i The president, speaking through
his postmaster general, does nct
‘sav that he will reappoint Mrs,
Longstreet to a new term of four
?vears. He merelv says he will not
lemove her for another.
It may be that she will be per
‘mitted to serve under her present
commission until the new adminis
tration takes hold in Washington.
In that event, the question of her
continuance in office will be square
iy up to President Woodrow Wi
son., :
Henry S. Jackson, of Atlanta,
has denied thlt he ever took active
steps to have Mrs. Longstreet rc
moved, or that he requested the
president to appoint some one else
in her stead. He has expressed
the epinion, however, that she has
no right_eous claim on the office,
and that, in view of her open hos
tility to Taft, and severe criticism
of his nominatiou, she could ask
for reappointment with very poor
grace, if at all.
Since the fight was started
against her in Gainesville, Mrs.
Longstreet has expressed the great
est confidence that President Taft
would not remove her, |
It 1s now reported in Gainesville
that Mrs. Longstreet will ask for
a nominating primary, in which
she may be a candidate for reap
pointment to a full term under
President Wilson.

For City Tax Assessor.
I hereby announce myself a
candidate for re-election to the
office of City Tax Assessor. I
promised when I was elected lagt
term that I would reduce the taxes
25 per cent, and this 1 did, but
the city council afterward raised
the entire assessment 10 per cent,
and alsc raised the rate from $1.40
to $1.65. This was done on acecount
of the street paving and other im
provements. Regardless of street
paving and white ways, if elected,
I will not raise the value of any
property except to equalize some
few locations,

Woman Risks Life -
To Save Husband
Atlanta, Dec. 5 When J. B.
Crowley, of 50 Loomis street,
stepped in front of a locomotive
at the Moreland Avenue grade
crossing yesterday, his wife, who
was walking with him, rushedl
onto the track herself, and risked
her life to save him. She saved
all of him but his foot, which
wa s caught beneath the
engine wheels and later had to
be amputated at a local hospital.
Mrs. Crowley was seriously
bruised. but escaped without any
broken bones or internal injur
ies.
It is said that the noise of the
’approaching train was drowned
by the sound of a nearby trolley
‘whizzing by and other traffic
noises. Mrs. Crowley jerked her
husband back just in time to pre
vent him from being crushed to
death.
