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. * Under Charge cf Shanchaing.

They were put ashore by the captain without funds. Ths warrants against Oisea and Johnson were issued on the charge ; that they sold the negroes into invol untary servitude. Olsen was alreadv under bond to answer to a similar charge of shanghaing young Joe Ru k y and John Seage, white boys, on the British ship kambira. * * * Great Interest in Peaoody Fund. The Peabody educational fund may be used' to establish a gr°at training school for teachers in some southern city. Great interest is felt in educational circjea- concerning the disposition to he made of this fund and the move ment to invest the money in such. a normal school has already been set on toot. State School Commissioner Merritt would be very greatly pleaseu, how ever, to see the fund used in aiding struggling rural communities. Georgia’s share of the rund is abont SIO,OOO a year. Mr. Merritt has asked the legislature for SIO,OOO to be used by the state board of education to ou couiraige self-help along progressive lines in communities, school districts and counties. Similar work to that dona .by the general education board in Hancock county may be done in other counties and in struggling com munities. • * * Dr. John Pope, of Marshall, Texas, who will he the aTi important witness iji the now celebrated case of the ro ,’turn of Jack Reid to Griffin after the latter had been believed to be deal more than twenty years, was in At lanta a few hours one day the pa-t week. His statement concerning the case is that he treated a man in Mar shall known as Jack Reid at the time Reid was alleged to have been there and that this man under his ca-e died of pneumonia within a few days.

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. » * * Circuit Court cf Appeals.
