Kentucky, the Kearsarge and the best
warships of England and Germany.
The United States government is about
to contract for the construction of five
of the greatest vessels that it is possi
ble to build and one of these has been
named for the state of Georgia. Tho
bids are being considered by the navy
department and will bo awarded be
tween now and New Year’s day.

Sensational Charge This.
Harvie Jordan, president of the In
terstate Cotton Growers’ Protective
association, charge that the govern
ment agricultural department, instead
of being operated in the interests of
the farmers, is being used as a basis
for the rankest kind of speculation, to
their serious injury. He further avers
that the sources froum which this gov
ernment secures its information is no
longer reliable, and declares that tho
fact that this season’s crop is short is
too well known for attempts at decep
tion on the part of speculators.
* * *
Bond Election Illegal.
Judge Henry has decided that bonds
could not be issued legally upon the
recent vote cast for them in the elec
tion held in Rome for that purpose.
Judge Henry holds it is necessary for
two-thirds of those registered Tor the
special election to vote in favor of
bonds in order to validate them. There
were 3,000 ou the registration list, and
bonds received 1,800.

LatimerN Murderer to Hang.
T.iey Griffin, who murdered Con
ductor Mariou Latimer, of the South
ern railway, on October 27th last, and
whose trial in Glynn superior court
excited a great deal of interest, was
found guilty of this crime and has
been senteuced to be hanged Jauuary
11. The court room was packed aud
those who were spectators say that
Griffin displayed wonderful nerve,
showing not tho least sign of emotion,
but rather seemed unconcerned about
his doom.

11 rougilto-n rroinlues to Tell.
Rev. Leu G. Broughton arrived in
Atlanta from Meridian, Miss., Satur
day night and will appear before the
board of police commissioners. A
special meeting will be called for the
purpose of entertaining the doctor and
listening to his substantiation of the
charges he has made against tho mem
bers of the force to the effect that the

course during the recent race meet.

I>r, Assistant Editor.
At a meeting of the board of trus
tees of Tho Wesleyan Christiau Ad
vocate, the Methodist organ, held iu
At!* inta the past week, I)r. J. W. Heidt
was elected assistant editor and busi
ness manager of the paper. Dr. Heidt,
it will be remembered, was appointed
to the presiding eldership of the Rome
district at the recent meeting of tho
North Georgia 'Methodist conference
and Bishop Hendrix, on being uotified
of the action of the trustees by Dr. R.
J. Bigharn, immediately appointed Dr.
W. F. Glenn to succeed Dr. Heidt as
presiding elder.

Joint Depot Committee Nhmu’il.
Another step in the direction of a
new depot iu Atlanta on the site of the
present car shed was taken by the gen
eral assembly, before adjournment,
when a joint committee of five mm-
Ders rroin the house ana three from
the senate was appointed to confer
with the lessees of the Western <te At
lantic railroad relative to the proposed
improvement. The resolution was in
troduced in the house at the afternoon
session by Representative G. V. Gress,
of Wilcox, a former citizen of Atlanta,
who has since the beginning of the
present legislature taken a lively in
terest in the improvement of the state’s
terminal property.
The resolution is based on the
theory that the lessees of the Western
and Atlantic will be willing to im
prove the depot property, since any
depreciation between now and the ex
piration of the lease would be felt by
the lessee and not by the state.
The joint committee of eight mem
bers is permitted under the resolution
to remain in session but twenty days,
but during this time the actual ex
penses of the committee are to be paid
by the state.

•Jacob Beach Indicted.
Ex-State Prison Commissioner Ja
cob L. Beach has been indicted by the
Glynn county grand jury on the
charge of embezzlement. The indict
meut was found some days days ago
and the warrant for Mr. Beach’s ar
rest was served upon him in Atlanta
last Friday by Deputy Sheriff Robert
Pyles. Mr. Beach accompanied Dep
uty Sheriff Pyles to Brunswick. In
regard to the indictment Mr. Beach
says:
“Yes, I am indicted for embezzle
ment. I heard some time ago that the
grand jury now in session intended
taking such action, and I came down
from my home in Atlanta and remained
here several days, but no indictment
came until my return to Atlanta. I
am ready and anxious for a trial, and j
when it comes, I am confident of a
complete vindication.”
The indictment referred to is based
upon certain allegations connecting
Mr. Beach’s name with the redemption
of numerous Glynn county bonds, al
leged to have been fraudulently issued
in 1876. It is alleged that he secured
a number of these bonds when he was
a county officer and had them redeem
ed by the county treasurer, after
which he secured the same bonds from
the treasurer’s vaults and had them
redeemed again. Judge Bennett bound
Mr. Beach over in the sum of $4,000,
which bond was promptly given.
* * *
Grand Jury Will Investigate.
Te grand jury of DeKalb county will
begin an investigation of the recent
jail deliveries at Decatur. The last on
Thursday night, the second in two
weeks, caused a sensation throughout
the county. The fact that the escape
of the prisoners was due to careless
ness is not denied by the officials of
the county, but there seems to be some
difference of opinion as to who is to
blame.
* * *
Increased Capital Stock.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Columbus Manufactur
ing Company, held the past week, the
directors were authorized to increase
the company’s capital stock from
$400,000 to $500,000.

Georgia lAid Alabama Hallway.

Saturday. The officers were re-elected
as follows: President, John Skelton

Gabbett; second vice president, J. W.

Uigc Appointment of Mr*. Atkinson.
A large majority of the members of
the house, 109 in number, filed a peti
tion with Governor Candler urging
him to appoint Mrs. W. Y. Atkinson,
widow of the lato ex-governor W. Y.
Atkinson, as state librarian.
The petition bears the names of
many of the most prominent members
of the house. The petition is as fol
lows:
“Desiring the success of Mrs. At
kinson, wife of ex-Governor W. Y. At
kinson, in her candidacy for the office
of state librarian, we respectfully re
quest your excellency to appoint her
to this office.
“She is gifted and worthy, practi
cally and peculiarly qualified to dis
charge that" office. We feel that the
ambition of this loyal Georgia woman,
who is seeking in an honorable way
means with which to rear and educato
her children, should be gratified, aud
we believe that her appointment to
this ofllee named will meet with the
hearty approval of your constituency
throughout the state.”

ady, but could not entirely arrest it,
aud it lias been evident for a long
time to his family and near friends
that death was inevitable.
