D. B. Mull Presents Our Claim ,
To The Appropriation Com Tittee
Leader-Enterprise, ;
Today is the first day of the last sesion of the 62nd Congress, The
Congressmen are coming in just like bees going into their hive, for
the meeting of Congress today, at twelve o’clock in the house gallery,
to go into the last session of 62n0d Congress. I want to lct my friends
know that I am very much interested in this session, as I think this
will be the banner session for Fitzgerald. lam very much interested
in the uplift of our magic city in regard to our government post office
building. I have been interesting myself this past week with the
chairmen of the Public Buildings and grounds. I had a conference
with Chairman Morris Shepard of Texas. [ made my statement to
him in regard to the claim that we haa justifying Fitzgerald in asking
the government for One Hundred Thousand Dollars for an appropri
ticn for a Post Office Building. Congressman Sheppard talked to me
very favorably about the appropriation, but referred me to the Chuir
man on the sub.committee of Public Buildings and Grounds, who is
Congressman Burnett «f Alabama. I called on him and made the
same statement to him, which I had made to Congressman Sheppard.
‘After making my statement to him, he said, “You have made out
Ig'ood case, and you are entitled to a government Post Office Building.”
\Uongressman asked me how much of an appropriation did we want. 1
told him sioo,ooo for the building and the grounds. He said that the
committee would not recommend that amount. He figured and mace
sme calculations and then said that they would recommenc $70.000.
and you will get that if the appropriations are made for public build
ings. I had a talk with Congressman Joseph T. Johnson of South
Carolina, He is one of the committce on appropriation. He said th:
“Pork Barrel” appropriation was put into the report of the appropri
lation committee report. I fzel sure that we will get the §70,000 ar
this session of Congress. I saw Cuhgressma?-élect Judge Cri~p anc
handed him a statement which he read over, The ssme which I had
presented to the Chairman on Pablic buildings and grounds, He asked
me if I had a copy. I told him I had, which he said he wanted, He
remarked that it was a fine statement of Fitzgerald’s conditions, H:
said that he was going to help push the appropriation Bill through. 1
will see Dudley M, Hughes at once, and will insist on his pushing the
Post Office Bill appropriation bill through as rapidly as possible. T do
;not think we will have any difficulty in getting the appropriation.
| Chairman Burnett looked at me and saw my Confederate cross.
and said, *You being an old Cintederate soldier, you ought to have
the $lOO,OOO, but the Committ-+ will not recommend it.” We are
going to do all we can to get wi 1t we have asked for, Ido not think
’there will be any great nationa! nills passed this session. Most of the
b lls will be the appropriations und the district budgets.

Remedelling of The
Sam Greer Property
Mr. E. N. Davis has a large
force of men engaged in remod
eling the Sam Greer property on
Pine street which was purchased
by him at receiver’s sale several
weeks ago. :
The building has stood in ‘a de
lapidated state ever since it was
damaged by fire several years
ago, and it is indeed a source of
great pleasure to everybody in
general tosee the work of re
modelling progressing so rapidly.
This building is right in the
best business section and no
doubt th e store rooms will
be much i n demand when
completed. About one-half
of ‘the first floor is being prepared
for one of the leading dry goods%
and clothing men of the city who
will move in just as soon as the
work is completed. ~ ;
Many of the papers of the state
pretend to be puzzled because Sa
annah had a poultry show and a
big gathering of Methodist preach
ers the same week. That is because
they don’t understand the kind of
hospitality accorded visitors to this
city, When Savannah has guests,
she finds out what they like and
gives it to them. There are no
finer men than the Methodist
preachers, but yellow-legged chick
ens worth $l,OOO each ought to be
good enough for them to look at.
There is nothing niggardly about
Savannah’s hospitality, —Savan
nah News.
Now is just the time to get that
suit made to your -individual
measure, while you can get it
for about half price. Big range
of patterns to select from.

Washington, Dec. 3 —Presi
dent Taft sent more than 2,000
recess appointments to the senate
today, and immediately indica
tions of the movement among
some of the Democratic senators
to prevent their confirmation be
‘came evident. Senator Gore, it
iwas said, would have the active
support of several colleagues in
’heading the movement.
The campaign was directea
especially against nominations
which, it was claimed, have been
postponed from time to time,
'thus bringing the new term close
;to the beginning of the Demc
cratic administration.
- Democratic senators claimed
that the president already had
deprived the democrats of the
privilege of appointing 50,000
postmasters by placing them
within the civil service law by a
single order.
Most of the Democratic sena
tors expressed themselves as fa
vorable to ‘‘a discriminating ob
struction,” but several progres

had been counted on, did not ap

Matrimonial Wash-
Day in Atlanta
et |
Atlanta, Dec. s.—The musty
superior court room which usually
smells of moth-eaten books and
stale tobacco is prefumed again
today with violet water, carna
tion cologne, rosebud face pow
der, sweet peas and the thousand
and one other seductive and co
mingled odors that hover over
any gathering of dolled-up femi
ninity. It is matrimonial wash
day again in Atlanta, and Judgei
Pendleton, aided by a jury, is
called upon, with the help of the
law, to put asunder some ninety
two couples who believed that
they were joined together by the
Almighty. but who have found
out since the ceremony that the
Lord had nothing to do with it.
' The monthly Atlanta divorce
lcourt is getting to be the biggest
and most spectacular event of
local court cireles. The calendar
usually has anywhere from 80 to
125 cases on it, and the fair pros
ecutors or defendants represents
every walk in life, every grade
of society. The divorce suit of
a prominent society woman has
been known to be called on the
same day as that day of her ne
gro cook. Each woman, ‘‘Julia
O’Grady’’ and ‘‘the colonel’s
lady.”’ as it were, made the same
complaint against their respce
tive husbands, that they got
drunk and treated them cruelly.

ports on game protection. The ex
amination will take place at the
postoffice on December 30,
