Many Items of State In
terestas Chronicled by
Banner’s Atlanta
Correspondent.
Pension Money In ebruFary.
'Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 28.—There 1s no
money in the state treasury at the
present time with which to pay pen.
slons but, it is stated that sufficient
funds will be on hand for distribution
during the first week in February
The pension rolls, according to Com
missioner Lindsey, will be completed
about February 1st.
It seems that several days ago the
governor notified the commlsloner that
he was ready to draw the warrant
for the pensions and at that time the
money with which to do it was in the
treasury. Upon receipt of this notice
the commissioner told the governor
that the rolls would not be completed
until the first of February hence the
governor went ahead and drew a war
rant making a final payment of about
3700,000 to the teachers for last year,
The commissioner, it now appears,
completed his pension rolls a little
bit earlier than be had expected but
on account of the warrant having
been drawn to pay the teachers there
will be some little delay In the pay
rnent of pensions.
After the payment of the teachers
there was left in the treasury about
$900,000. The amount necessary to
pay the pensions Is $1,114,524. Suffi
cient funds, as previously stated, will
he on hand In the course of the next
week or so.
To Greet Mr. Bryan.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 28.—The young
democrats of Atlanta, by name the
Young Men's Democratic League of
Fulton County, are going to give the
glad hand to William Jennings Bryan
when he comes to Atlanta Feb. 14 for
Ills lecture at the auditorium-armory.
President Walter P. Andrews, of this
league, is now making out his com
mittee which will welcome the distin
guished Nebraskan. There will be
two other committees to welcome, one
appointed by the Atlanta Baraca Un
Ion, under whose auspices Mr. Bryan
will lecture, and the other a commit
tee of prominent men from the city
at large. Mr. Bryan will speak on
"The Price of a Soul." The funds de
rived from this lecture will be used
to establish a downtown office of the!
Baraca Union, which union will place
a secretary In charge to work for the
general interests of the church union.
Fulton’s New Courthouse.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 28.—Fulton coun
ty Is to have a brand new courthouse,
rt wilt cost a half million dollars. This,
was decided upon by the board of
couty commissioners at Its regular
meeting.
Both the annex and the old court
house building will be torn down In
order to mako room for a new mod
ern fireproof courthouse. The county
has already $200,000 on hand and tho
commissioners say that the addition
al $300,000 needed can be procured
without further taxation.
Stockade Physician Fired.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 28.—Fired! This
word might have been written across
the commission papers of Dr. R. B.
Durrett, city physician for the police
barracks. The effect however as far
as Dr. Durett is concerned is the
same. The prison committee yester
day appointed Dr. Mell C. Martin to
succeed Dr. Durrett. This commit
tee says that it thought a change de
sirable and believed that Dr. Martin
would better fill the position. No oth
er reason is assigned. It will be re
called that Dr. Martin was In charge
of the stockade when the noted stock
ade Investigation was held last year
and Dr. Durrett was appointed under
a new ordinance. The position pays
a salary of $1,200 a year.
Drummers Fight For Mileage.
Atlanta. Ga„ Jan. 28.—The Travel
ers’ Protective Association, which la
continuing its fight on the mileage
rule, will hold a meeting tomorrow
afternoon at five o'clock. This meet
ing will be held in the office of Com
mittee Secretary H. M. Ashe, corner
Auburn avenue and N. Pryor street.
It appears that the T. P. A. committee
has had no response from the rail
roads In reply to the request for a
conference on the abolition of the
mileage rule, tl la stated that this
leaves the T. P. A. committee only
one alternative,—It will carry the case
before the railroad commission with
a request that railroads be required
to show cause why they should not be
required to abolish or modify the
mileage rule.
On "Associated Charities.”
Atlanta, Ga,, Jan. 28.—What Is
known as the Saturday night club
will meet tomorrow evening at the
Carnegie Library auditorium. The
subject for discussion will be "Resolv
ed, That all our cities’ charitable In
stitutions should have a central su
pervisory board as that proposed for
Cleveland, O.” J. C. Logan of the
Associated Charities and A. M. Beck
will apeak for the affirmative. The
negative will be discussed by E. D.
Clark and J. W. LeCraw.
Mrs. Warren Boyd will address the
club February Uth on "Child Labor
In the South."
