Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 13.—Mayor Janas G.
* Woodward of this city, the capital and
the largest city of the Empire state of
the South, is probably the only man who
occupies such an important public |h>m
tioti. yet at the same time continues to
work regularly at a trade.
While he was running for oilier Mayor
Woodward was dublsxl the "printer can
didate." It does not appear whether this
was expected to benefit or injure him in
his political uspirat ons. No one knows
whether the appellation was first applied
l>y friend or opponent. Mr. Woodward
docs not care himself, because he is not
ashamed of his calling, and now that he
has won success, possibly no one else
cares whether he was "the printer candi
date" or the banker candidate, so long
as he continues to give the city an intel
ligent and honest administration.
But while everybody knows him as the
printer candidate, few’ of his fellow citi
zens dre aware (hut he keeps up his work
in the print shop just as regularly now
as he did before he took hold of the reins
of government. None of Mr. Woodward’s
predecessors have ever given the office
their undivided time, and he saw no rea
eon why he should do so. just because
bis means of sujeporl before going into
office happened to be "sticking type.”
If it was ull right for Mayor King to
practice law or Mayor Collier to look after
his banking business and act as Mayor
'lit the same time, Jim Woodward argued
that it was all right tor him to stand by
his "case,” if he wanted to. Therefore,
he is to be seen early every morning mak
ing his way up the dark stairs of the
Journal building and into the mailing dis
tributing room, where he has worked for
ten years or more past. There he shucks
his coat and works for two or three hours
before washing up for the transaction of
public business at the city hall. When
this business permits he returns to his
galleys and type-racks again in the after
noon.
Is a Versatile Man.
About the only change In the crafts
man’s dally routine in the printing office
6inee he became Mayor is that more of
his work has fallen upon the hands of bis
assistants. He is still the active “fore
man" of the department, and draws his
weekly wages the same ns ever. But
Mayor Woodward is a versatile man. dke
all the old-time printers, and while he oc
cupies his office at the city hall he is as
much the man of affairs in apjiearance
end in his manner of transacting business
as any of the distinguished gentlemen
who have preceded him in this import
ant public office.
Mayor Woodward Is a union primer and
is a consistent friend of the laboring man,
but, oddly enough, In none of his cam
paigns has he ever run as a labor candi
date. That he does not proi>ose to get
the “swell head" on account of his eleva
tion to the highest office in the municiiuil
affairs of the city, is shown by the way
in which he has stuck to his old trade
since he came into office.
Yenalile Company Sued.
Suit has been filed In the United States
Court here by the Link Belting and En
gineering Company of Philadelphia
against the Venable Construction Com
pany, for tlie sum of $4,151, on account of
materials furnished for the Key West
coast defense work done by the Venable
Construction Company. The plaintiffs
claim that they supplied certain appli
ances and sent skilled lalior to Key West
upon written contract with the construc
tion company, but that the defendant has
refused to pay the bills. The construction
company will possibly plead that the ap
pliances In question did not come up to
the specifications.
Liquor Healers Indicted.
The grand Jury to-day returned true hills
against Harry Spillman, retail saloon
keeper; the Potts-Thompson Liquor Com
pany, Carroll & I/ong and the It. M. Rose
Company, wholesale liquor dealers, for
opening their places Of business last Sat
urday In violation of the law which pro
hibits the opening of saloons on election
day.
The indictments were anticipated by the
liquor dealers. They intend to make a test
case on the statute to secure a construc
tion of the term "election day.” They
claim that the election day is over when
the polls have closed, and, therefore, the
saloons have a legal right to open their
doors after the closing of the polls. The
outcome of Issue will be watched with
great interest throughout the stale, as it
affects the liquor dealers everywhere.
The retail dealers are backing Spillman,
while the wholesalers are standing on (heir
own bottoms. At the time It was expected
by some that the city authorities would
take some action In regard to Spillman at
least, and the matter was brought to the
attention of Mayor Woodward. He. how
ever, declared that it was a matter for the
elate courts, and refused to take any no
tice of It officially.
To Hold a State Fair.
Ex-Gov. Northen, who was in charge of
the state’s magnificent display at the re
cent Omaha exposition, has inaugurated a
movement to hold a state fair in Atlanta
this coming fall. He will bring the mat
ter to the attention of the State Agricul
tural Society, and will also urge the co
operation of manufacturers and others to
make the movement a success.
Ex-Gov. Northen was formerly presi
dent of the State Agricultural Society and
was in charge at some of the most suc
cessful fairs ever held by that body. He
has also had much oilier experience In
holding fairs and exposition which gives
prestige lo the present movement.
Atlanta is willing to furnish the grounds
and buildings free for the fair, and will
probably otter other lnducem. tits in Ihe
way of a premium fund. With this to
count upon in advance Gov. Northen is
confident that a fair—and a great one at
that —can be held.
For Cruelty to Animals.
Requisition papers were presented at the
office of Secretary of State Phil Cook to
r.ay for John Addison and*David Oliver.
The papers came from the Governor of
South Carolina, and the charge u|>on
which the men are sought to be extra
dited is cruelty to animals.
It is alleged that the two men abused!
a mule belonging to J. T. Bond of Frank
lin county. South Carolina, by beating it
with rocks and Jabbing it with sharp
sticks. Secretary Cook says that there
Is probably no other case on record where
cruelty to animals has been made the
basis of extradition.

STRIKERS STILL HOLD OCT.
They Reject a Proposition Made by
the Mill President*.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 13.—The mill strik
ers had a long and largely altended meet
ing to-night, which, It was earnestly hoped
by the community, would mark Ihe end
of the strike. But the end Is not yet, and
the speakers in the meeting urged the
strikers not only to stay out themselves,
but to do all In their tx>wer to persuade
those who have been at work this week to
remain away to-morrow.
At a conference between the mill presi
dents and the leaders in the strike, the
mill presidents renew ed their offer to make
wages in Augusta 6 per cent, higher than
the scale paid by other mills In this sec
tion, outside of Augusta.
They claimed that the scale offered by
them is 6 per cent, higher, and if the
strikers returned to work Monday and a
committee of five appointed by the strikers
would visit other mills and get affidavits
proving that the Augusta scale was not
6 per cent, higher they would not only
make it so, but would pay the expenses of
the committee of investigation, not to ex
ceed SSCO.
This [>ropoßition was submitted to the
strikers to-night, but was not accepted.
They will hold out for a better compro
mise, but the two opposing factions are
getting nearer together, and before long
they will meet in compromise on some
basis.
MILTON SENT Vl* FOR LIFE.
Getting Ready for a Ilia Race Meet
on the Tampa Track.
Tampa Fla., Jan. 13.—Tom Milton, col
ored, convicted of the murder of Georgia
McGraw, colored, was sentenced to life Im
prisonment in the state penitentiary, but
as the state of Florida has no such Insti
tution he will spend the remainder of his
life in the phosphate mines.
Fifteen hundred Cubans have signed a
petition addressed to the Secretary of War
requesting the general government to fur
nish them free transportation to Cuba.
The races on the track of the Tampa
Agricultural Racing and Fair Association
promise to be a grand success. About 150
horses have arrived, and among them are
some that are well known throughout the
county as "crackcrjacks.” yhe track al
ready presents an animated appearance.
Trainers are engaged every day exercising
their horses. All agree in declaring it
equal to any half mile course in the coun
try. It is a regulation half-mile oval,
the back stretch and home stretch being
each one-eighth of a mile In length, and
each curve is the same distance.
The thirty days’ race meet begins to
morrow, and the track promises to become
a formidable rival of the famous course
at New Orleans as a winter racing course.

Election <
Washington, Jan. U.—(Special).—A dele
gation, representing the Chamber of Com
merce of Atlanta, was given a hearing be
fore the House committee on public build
ings and grounds this morning, lti the in
terest of Col. I.lvingston’s bill for a $1,000,-
m public building for that city.
President Neal of the Chamber of Com
merce made the first speech, and was fol
lowed by Secretary Martin, Postmaster
Smyth, Marshal Johnson, Ex-Gov. Bul
lock, Col. Tom Glenn, Clark Howell, W.
A. Hemphill and one or two others. Col.
Elvlngston had the committee In charge.
Postmaster Smyth made a particularly
forceful speech, showing by facts and
figures the rapid growth of Atlanta’s pos
tal business, and how It has outgrown the
present quarters. The committee seemed
to make a very favorable impression.
This afternoon the Atlantians paid their
respects to the Attorney General, who 4s
soon lo visit Atlanta, and also to the Pres
ident. In the course of an Informal talk
with them, the President said he regarded
his Southern trip as the most important,
as well as most pleasant, of his adminis
tration, and said he felt It had done good
to the entire country.
The Battleship Georgia. f
Georgia will probably be the name given

In the naval appropriations bill, now un
der consideration by Congress.
Representative Carter Tate, as an active
and influential member of the committee
on naval affairs, is industriously at work
In the right direction to have the name
of his state bestowed upon one of the new
warships, and at the present writing the
indications are that his efforts will be
crowned with success.
In anticipation of the event, it may be
advisable for pretty girls of Georgia, who
desire to have the honor of christening
the "Georgia,” to keep the subject in
mind, and follow the course of the new
vessel after she is provided for and pre
pared for the baptismal function.
After the christening comes the usual
silver service for the captain's cabin, so
that it costs something socially and finan
cially to have a battleship named after a
state.
Sou 11) Carolina's Contest*.
Two of the pending South Carolina con
tested election cases are to be taken up
for consideration in committee next Fri
day.
The contest against Representative
Stokes falls out by reason of the death
of the contestant, Johnson. That leaves
the eases of Murray against Elliott and
Chatfield against Tolbert to be decided.
Chatfieid and Murray are both here look
ing after their respective interests, and
Representatives Elliott and Tolbert are
preparing for the contest before the com
mittee.
There is no way of telling how soon
these cases will be called up for consid
eration by the House after they have
t.een passed upon by the committee. It
is probable that the session will be well
advanced before they are reached, if they
are ever reached, before the 4th of March.
It will be remembered that Tom Miller,
in his contest with Col. Elliott, was not
awarded his seat until the closing hours
of the Congress. By the time he was set
tled in his seat Congress died on his hands.
A Pauper Hills Herself in.
Milford, Fa., Telegram to the Baltimore
American.
An unfortunate old woman, poor, her
usefulness gone, her friAnds driven from
her by peculiarities incident to old age,
has just been sold at auction to the low
est bidder by the overseers of the poor
of Lackawaxen township. Pike county.
Despite her age, however, her mind is
acute, and she startled the auctioneers
by bidding on herself.
The woman who was put on the block
was Mrs. Elmira Quick. She is 77 years
old, and has resided nearly the whole- of
her life in Lackawaxen township. Her
sale at auction was in pursuance of a cus
tom, which long has prevailed in that
township. It has been customary with
the various poor masters to sell the poor
of the township each year to the lowest
bidder, in preference to being annoyed
with the care themselves, and about th
beginning of the year a large sign, with
the glaring headline, "A Womaq for
Sale ” can be seen posted about the town
ship, for it seldom befalls a man to be
come dependent upon the district.
When the bidders assembled at Warren
K. Rutan’s hotel, at Rowland station,
the overseer of the poor, Mr. Rosen
erance, a former Pike county commis
sioner. and Warren Rutan, who also acted
as auctioneers, took the floor and an
nounced that a woman was to be “sold
to the lowest bidder for keep for the
year." The room was crowded, and
in.iny outside igerly clamored for ad
mission to the little hostelry. The bld
• ing started a> $• t. week and was very
spirited. The auctioneer was about to
"knock down” the woman to a back
woodsman for *1.60 a week for hoard,
clothing, medical attendance, etc., when
Mrs. Quick, who had been a silent listen
er to the proeeeedings, arose from her
chair, and in quiet tones said:
"I will bid $6 a month. I will hav no
trouble to maintain myself on that
amount.”
This turn in the proceedings was wholly
unanticipated, and created general sur
prise. For how was the good woman to
live on 16 cents a day? No one seemed
to be willing to go below Mrs. Quick's bid,
and the auctioneer saw no alternative but
to sell the woman to herself, and the pa
pers were accordingly drawn up.

WILLIAMS DIES IN JAIL.
\sns Under Sentence of Death for
the Murder of Charles B. Potts.
Columbia, S. C., Jan. 13.—1n Greenville
to-day a life, the last few years of which
have been full of tragedy, was ended.
James B. Williams was a rather promi
nent citizen. He had at times in years
gone by been in several serious affrays.
In February, 1891, in a sensational street
duel he killed W. A. Williams, better
known as "Dixie” Williams, a sorvin-law
of Judge Hudson. After a trial that ex
cited wide spread interest, he was ac
quitted.
In August last he provoked a stffeet duel
with Charles B. Potts and the result wa's
Potts' death. Williams was placed in jail.
Recently the trial was held and the jury
convicted him of murder. A motion for a
new trial was refused, and notice of an
appeal was given, and then the death sen
tence was imposed upon him.
Since the trial he had developed a case
of dropsy, and In the last few days had
been ailing, being unable to leave his
chair. This probably contributed to the
complication that caused him to expire
suddenly In his cell at the jai! to-day. Thus
ends a case that has been one of except
ional interest throughout the state.
RAILROAD SAFE BLOWN OPEN.
Fortunately, However, tlie Thieves
Got Little Cash.
Columbus, Ga., Jan. 13.—The town of
Hamilton was startled this morning when
the depot agent of the Columbus and
Rome Railway, Mr. E. R. Dozier, went
to open the office and found the big safe,
in which the funds of the railroad are
usually kept, was shattered to atoms, hav
ing been blown open during the night. All
that the safe blower got for his trouble
was about $lO or sls In small change.
The agent’s suspicions were aroused by
the appearance of several dangerous-look
ing strangers, who have been lurking
around the depot for several days past.
As soon as the robbery was discovered the
sheriff of Harris county was notified, and
bloodhounds were at once put on the trail
for the rpbbers. The dogs took up the
scent and started off towards Columbus,
but up to a late hour no arrests have been
made.
It Is positively stated to-night that the
Third Kentucky will leave here to-mor
