Wright, the command ing officer of the torpedo division, naval battalion, Georgia state militia, stationed at Brunswick, Governor Can dler has disbanded the command. Adjutant General Robertson wrote to Lieutenant Wright informing him cf the action of the governor and the division is no longer an organization. Lieutenant Wright based his recom mendation upon the fact that the di vision was not properly uniformed and had no vessel of any kind which could bo used for the instruction of the men. There was, therefore, no reason for the continued existence of the organization. The government does not provide uniforms for these state organizations and the state of Georgia has no money with which to purchase them. . * * * Mr. Ogden Heard From. President E. C. Branson, of the State Normal School at Athens, has written a letter to Commissioner of Education Glenn, in which he writes feelingly of a letter containing a check from Mr. Ogden, who has taken an interest in southern educational con ditions.

Evans, at Sandersville, has refused the motion for anew trial of Mrs. Sarah Dixon, who was convict ed of the murder of her husband, with the aid of Jerry Walden, in Johnson superior court. The case will go to the supreme court. •* * * Melon Crop Will Be Short. The watermelon and cantaloupe crops are now sufficiently advanced to make possible the formation of an in telligent estimate of the acreage and posible yield in the Georgia melon dis trict, of which Albany is the center and principal shipping point. There has been a decided reduction in the Watermelon acreage. Those who have the best opportunities for obtaining information on this line are practical ly agreed that the area under cultiva tion is at least 25 per cent less than it was last year, and by some the re duction is believed to be even more extensive.

The orders from the state beard cf dispensary control to close all beer and liquor dispensaries In Ch • rleston, S. C.. has not so far interim ed with the traffic of the tigers. When the quiet tip was passed down the liquor line Friday morning that places would have to close, the 500 blind tigers made a merry rush to buy. and while they did not force the price up by the movement, they got enough liquor to pull through a period. According to careful estimates there are 500 tigers in Charleston. Temperance and prohibition people are glorifying over the conditions cx isting in the city now. They believe that the dispensaries will be kept closed until the legislature next year can amend the law as to the organiza tion of the board of county commis sioners, and should this prove the case the temperance and prohibition element will make capital by using all efforts to have the law strictly en forced. There is so much money in volved, however, that the state can hardly afford to lose the revenues from Charleston, and already efforts are making toward a satisfactory ad justment of the troubles. The tangle is so deep that the supreme court will have to pass final judgment, but all difficulty would have been avoided had not the Charleston county delegation been negligent of its duty. This dele gation failed to note the passage of the new county commisioners’ act, and while the purpose was to except j Charleston from its operations this ' delegation did not see the mess until i it came out in the newspapers a week or two ago. When the state constables are sent to Charleston to help enforce the law. as is confidently expected, outsiders look for a hot fight between these offi cers and the hundreds of blind tigers. FIGHT AGAINST WOMAN. Warm Discussion In Presbyterian As sembly Over Female Delegate. Saturday morning's session of the Cumberland Presbyterian general as sembly at West Point, Miss., M as whol ly devoted to a discussion of a motion made by Dr. I. D. Steele, of Birming ham, Ala., proposing that the young woman who was enrolled as a ruling elder commissioner from Litchfield, Ky., Presbytery be unseated on the ground that both the constitution and the action of previous assemblies for bade a woman to serve as a ruling elder. The presbytery from which Miss Woosley hails several years ago or dained as a preacher this same young woman. This was declared unconsti tutional and her name erased from the roll. Members kept up the agita tion ever since and the presence of Miss Woosley is plainly aimed by the Presbytery to test another phase of the question. The debate Saturday was an able one without bitterness, and the vote does not settle the ques tion. A constitutional amendment cover ing the case will be sent down to the Presbyteries and the knowing ones believe that in the end the church will declare against the ordination of wo men to both the ministry and elder ship.

Approximately 50,000 machinists throughout the country struck Mon day for a nine-hour day, a scale of wages equal to the present ten hour per day scale and other demands. This is the rough estimate cf Presi dent O’Connell, of the International Association of Machinists, based on the telegraphic advices that reached him during the day from the machin ists’ headquarters in the various cities. The strike thus far has not extend ed to the allied trades, save in one or two instances, as at Scranton. Pa., where men in a part, of the allied trades are out. No machinists en gaged in government work are affect ed. This is due to the fact that on such work an eight-hour day scale al ready prevails. Railroad machinists, as a rule, are not involved in the strike, though the men on several roads are out. The | Central Vermont shop machinists at | St. Albans, numbering probably 20ft, I have struck. The Lehigh Valley rail i road machinists at Buffalo, Sayre, ! Wilkesbarre and Elmira are out, ag | gregating about 500 all told. The j Delaware, Lackawanna and Western \ men at Buffalo, Scranton Wilkesbarre I and intermediate points are out. The : Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe men ; also.are out. The strike order, how | ever, does not apply to the railroads generally. | The situation Monday afternoon ; was summarized by President O’Con | nell in the following statement: “We are demanding a nine-hour day universally throughout the trade, with an increase of wages sufficient to over come the loss of the hour in time; regulation of the apprenticeship sys tem and the number that shall be em ployed in accordance with the num ber of journeyman machinists employ ed; agreements as to arbitration of all disputes that may arise in the future; the right of the machinists to he rep resented by a committee, and agree ments that there shall be absolutely no discrimination against machinists because of their membership in the union. “Prom the present indications and the statements issued from headquar ters at the various points the orders are being generally obeyed and in larger numbers than was anticipated. In certain cases where only a few hundred were expected to be involved the indications are that the numbel? will be increased 50 per cent. The number of firms signing indicate that in localities where the agreements are being made the strike will not last over a few days. In other localities, where a larger number of men are be ing involved, I look fo:wartl to n.u ad justment being reached within the present week.” Following is a statement of the number of men out at important points: Hartford, Conn., 1,000; Ansola and Derby, Conn., 500; Hamilton, 0., 1,- 000; Buffalo, 1,200; Scranton, 2.500; Cincinnati, completely tied up and 3,- 000 men out; Connorsville, Ind., 200; Palestine, Tex., 200; York, Pa., 300; East Orange, N. J., 300; Oswego, N. Y„ 300; Norfolk, Va.. all shops out, 500 men. Telegraphic reports to Mr. O’Con nell show the following as the num ber of firms which signed the agree ment Monday: Kenosha, Wis., all; Milwaukee, five; Wilmington, Del., 2; Toledo, 1; Au burn, N. Y., all; Anaconda, all; Den ver, all; St. Louis, all; New Orleans, all; Danbury, Conn., all; Pittsburg, Pa„ 90 per cent; Franklin, Pa„ all; YoungstoM’n, 0., all; Cleveland, 15; Rochester. N. Y., 90 per cent; Buffalo, 50 per cent; Niagara Palis, ali; Tona wanda, all; Trenton, N. J„ 75 per cent; Baltimore, 11; Philadelphia, 25; New Haven, 8. DAYTON PLANTS CLOSED. Machinists’ Demands Not Complied With and Strike Follows. Not one concern in Dayton, Ohio, has acceded to the machinists’ de mands. Several plants agreed to the hours and Mage scale, but reserved the right to employ and discharge. When this was declined by employers the plants closed. There are now idle the National Cash Register, W. P. Callahan, Buck eye Brass Works, Stillweh-Bierce Company and many smaller plants. Thirty-five hundred men are out of work. The carpenters' strike is prac tically complete. OIL COMPANY IN KENTUCKY. New Corporation Is Organized With Capital Stock of $200,000.
