Too Many Bosses.
There is a smouldering volcano in
Atlanta police circles and it will be
but a short time before it will be in a
constant state of eruption.
The politics that has always existed
in Die board of police commisione*-s
has ‘spread to the officers and mem
bers of the force, and each moment
.those who are on the inside are ex
pecting something to bloom forth and
blossom. Two separate and distinct
factions exist in the department. One
champions the cause of the BroOierton
faction and the other side is closely
allied with Captain J. W. English and
his political friends.

May be Mustered Out of Service.
Inspector General Wiliam G. Oboar
has recommended that the Georgia ar
tillery (colored) of Savannah, and the
Meldrim Tattnall Guards, a cavalry
troop, be mustered out of state service
for inefficiency. These commands were
inspected by Colonel Obear t!7e past
week, and he found them wanting in
discipline and military proficiency.
The recommendations will be sub
mitted to the advisory board at once.
Colonel Obear is very strict with his
inspections this year, and unless a
company comes up to the required I
standard they put on probation,
and then disbanded unless they show \
a wonderful improvement.

Error in Department Bulletin.
The recent bulletin on fertilizers, is
sued by the Georgia department of
agriculture, contains a glaring error m
the first, part of the book, which has
occasioned the department much
trouble. The error is the difference
of one year. On the front page of the
bulletin contains a complete list of
fertilizers analyzed, inspected and aJ
mitted for sale in Georgia “up to Au
gust 1, 1902.” This should read “ip
to August 1, 1903.” The mfttako has
caused many farmers to write again
for 1903 bulletins, they thinking the
one reoived was last year's. It is stated
at the department that the bulletins
will not be paid for on account of the
error.

Red Men May Hold Reunion.
The Red Men of Georgia will prob
ably hold a monster reunion in Atlanta
during the Interstate fair. Represen
tatives of the order called on Secre
tary Frank Weldon a few days ago
and conferred with him concerning tno
matter. It is proposed to have the re
union in the auditorium inside the f nir
grounds during the day and one night
during the fair to have a big torchlight
parade, each Red Man wearing the full
uniform of the order and carrying a
red torch.
There are nearly two thousand mem
bers of the order in and around Atlan
ta, and nearly iO,OOO throughout the
state. Such a reunion would draw
thousands of men to Atlanta to see the
fair and to attend the meetings, and it
is believed such an event would be a
big drawing card.
