Auburn is not a popular color with tho University of Georgia foot-ballist's. Tho Alabama col lege of that name made a score of 44 to 0 against them Thanks giving Day in Atlanta. Hanna sooms to think the recent epliulican victory an endorse ment, of his pet ship subsidy bill. As its adoption by Congress would mean one of the biggest steals of the century—next to the pension list,—it is to be hoped ho is wrong in his forecast. Mr. Geo. S. Barnard, Clerk of tbo Federal Court, has been ap pointed by Judge Newman ns Jnited States Commissioner at 'Koine, ana will try all violations of tlio Federal criminal laws oc curring in Floyd and some of her neighboring counties. Thore is a movement on foot in Atlanta to preserve the Exposi tion buildings permanently for the purpose of holding a fair of some sort every year. On this line, the Constitution suggests a big exposition in the Gate City for 1902. Progressive Atlanta will doubtless carry out both the general and particular sugges tions. A Standard man dropped into the House of Representatives last. Friday in Atlanta, and found Polk’s Representative, Hon.John B. Ayers,m bis place and attend ing promptly to business. Mr. Ayers is always on hand in the House, votes on all measures as ho thinks wisest and best, and attends all committee meetings of which lie is a member. He enjoys a well-earned reputation for honesty and conscientious performance of duty, and has the confidence and esteem of his colleagues. Congress re-convened Monday, and will doubtless remain in ses sion, except for a brief holiday vacation, until the 4th of next March. The feature of the open ing session was the reading of the President’s Message. Among its most interesting—and unwel come—features is the request for a standing army of 100,000 men, and the suggestion that, crimes against foreigners be taken from the jurisdiction of state to that of Federal Courts. His Peck- sniffian suggestion that “if” there are any trusts Congress should crush them at once, is calculated to “rattle one’s slats” with hila rious glee. We are glad to note that he calls for an abatement of the burdensome taxes which his administration has s -placed upon the people. SOME FURNACE NEWS. ANOTHER BIG ORE WAHHEIl AT GRADY. Some Changes In Personnel nt* Officers—Mr. David Huccoedo Mr. Zimmerman an President, At the annual meeting of tho stockholders of tho Alabama & Georgia Iron Company, held in New York in November, thore wore somo changes made in tho personnel of that company’s of ficers. Mr. Eugene Zimmerman tend ered liis resignation as president of the company on account of tho onerous duties of his vast railroad properties, which the directors reluctantly accepted. Mr. Zimmerman could not he present in Georgia and Alabama as much ns lie desired while hold ing the chief office of the iron company, and will now divide his time between Cincinnati and Now York, where his large rail road interests are financed. He still retains his holdings in the iron company and is a member of tho heard of directors. Mr. F. SI. Davis, of New York, was chosen to succeed Sir. Zim merman. Sir. Davis is one of the largest stockholders, and lias been ft director from the organi zation of the company. He lias been South twice this yoar, and is highly pleased with his Cedar town investments in particular. Sir. Noah H. Swaync, 2d, was ro-eleoted vice president,and also made treasurer. Tlio duties of general manager were added to his official count, and ho thus becomes in fact its executive head hero on tho grounds. Ho is a most conscientious and pains taking official, and under his splendid management tho fur nace is now turning out a fine quality of pig iron that meets a ready salo in Birmingham, Pitts burg, Baltimore and other large iron markots. Sir. SI. O. Guiss, tho efficient assistant treasurer and auditor, was re-elected to those positions, and his excellent services will for another year aid the company in its iron and mining develop ments. Sir. J.J. Simpson,who IniB been tho company’s storo-keopor at Grady, succeeds Sir. Frank Ford in tho Cedartown commissary,and will be witli Sir. W. O. Barber in the company store hero. Sir. 0. W. Simpson, of Rock- mart, succeeds Ins brother as storo-keeper at Grady. Tliqso gentlemen are good business men, and are reckoned among tho best employees of tho company. The management has asked tho East ifc West railroad to construct 1200 feet of sidetrack at Grady, which it is said that road will build at once, the iron company will erect immediately another big 4-Idtt washer, install another; stenm sho.vel and put on a dum my engine to shift tlio ore ears With tliis equipment,' the com pany would then mine 1000 tons daily of fine iron ore, the capac ity which Sir. Swayuo has been steadily striving to reach. 'The Grady payroll alone of this com pany would then amount to fully $1,(100 a month. The Alabama & Georgia Com pany is the largest dovoloper of Georgia’s iron resources, and Cedartown is the scene of its greatest activities. Its industries contribute largely to our progress nnd growth,and its handsome pay roll makes a substantial impres sion on the business pulse and trade of our city. Its conserva tive business course nnd liberal policy with employees and the public deserve the greatest con sideration at the hands of our peo ple. The company hns closed larger contracts for charcoal,lime rock and other materials for 1901 than ever before, and the coming year promises the greatest era of practical developments in its Don’t forget to use ft little Friokly Ash Bitters whenever the etomaoh or bowels are disordered.
