The Announcement Swept Orer the City
Yesterday Alternoon Like a
Cyclone.
THE RESIGNATION WAS WITHDRAWN
Be Stji the I tier j Attached to the Office Is
So Smell Thet He Owes It to His Family
tod to Himieif to Betarn to His
lew Practice - Bar Actios.
Quif* a sensation was rausH
Any afternoon when it was learne<l that
judge J. L. Harilfmon of tho superior
court had forwarded W* resignation to
Governor Atkinson.
It was not known even by hia moat in*
tiniMto friends that Judge Hardeman
contemplated such action, and when the
members of the local bar asseralded in
the superior court room at 6 o'clock in
answer to Judge Hardeman's call, they
hadn't the slightest idea ns to the pur*
j*ose of the meeting.
The <-ourt was engaged in the trial of
a morder cnae. The lawyers were asked
to suspend until morning, in order flint
the bar association might hold a meeting.
When the Jury had retired Judge Har
deman a rose and stated that he had
called the Iwr together for the purpose of
saying to them that he had already sent
his resignation to Governor Atkinson.
This announcement had such an appa
rent Mil upon those present that Judge
Hardeman wn* forced to wait several
momenta Itoforc resuming bis remarks.
"I thought it proper." he continued,
"that I should impart the information to
you ibis soon, in order that you might
take whatever action in the matter you
might deem proper. I assure you that I
have weighed the matter fully. My resig
nation is due to the fuet that the sal
ary is entirely inadequate for tb<* work
and responsibility of the office, and in
justice to my family I resign. There is
no other cause. My relations with you
have been the most pleasant, and dur
ing my incumbency whatever I have
done was with the conscientious belief
that the majesty of the law was being
upheld. And I will go further, gentlemen
of lids bar, and compliment you, for in
hII my experience I have never bad the
pleasure of encountering a more courte
ous and competent set of lawyers. Al
most without exception your eases are
well prepnred, and it gives me a grout
deal of pain to part eotnpuny with you.
The years in which I have filled this po
sition have been Isitli the most pleasant
and yet most anxious of my life; mid I
may add that they have been the most
instructive of any equal period. I have
come to love tills old code ns I never
loved it before; but the responsibility
Is more than I fell that 1 ran longer
carry. Hence my resignation. Outside
of my immediate family, you are the
first to know it, and though it will not
take effect until January 15 of next year,
1 will now iliunk you all for that uni
formly courteous iimnucr in which you
have couduoted yourselves while in
court. I will lsTome one of you again,
mid expect 1o resume the practice of
law. The l&th of January Is nnimsl for
iny resignation to take effect iu order
that the business of the present sessiou
can -be concluded, nnd nfter the holidays
the remniulng time enn Is* devoted to
tho winding up of my Ineutnhcney of tjie
position. It is with regret. I assure you.
gentlemen, but not without careful
thought."
Before Judge Hnrdrmnu could leave
the bomb and courtroom, Messrs. C. A.
Turner ami W. II. Felton had addressed
Min on liehalf of the liar, asking him to
withdraw or reconsider his notion; hut
lie replied I lint lie had hoc m*oiiHideriiig
the matter for some time, mid that his
resignation was forwarded to the gov
ernor that day, asking that If lie accept
ed at once to become effective January
loth.
When llie Judge had retired to his
room, Mr. J. A. Thomas moved the ap
pointment of a committee of seven to
wait upon Judge Hardeman nnd urge
upon him to withdraw his resignation.
This committee was appointed, consist
ing of J. A. Thomas, Washington Dos-
sim, W. II. Felton. James h Anderson.
C. A. Turner, M. u. Freeman nnd Claud
Estes.
This nimmiHcc was closeted with the
judge for more than an hour.
At the expiration of that time, they
entered the courtroom with n shout. The
inclining of the shout was dear to every
body, and the entire bar joined in the
dcnioiiftrations of joy.
Mr. Dessau announced that he hud n
telegram which the presiding judge hud
*1 Inst consented to send to the governor.
Mr. Dessau thought the telegram would
case intense satisfaction among tho
members of the bar nnd to the cotiitnuni-
1>. He desired to say to the bar oil be
half of the committee that It wns after
the mftst earnest protestations, solicita
tion nnd appeal that Judge Hardeman
■wn* finally induced to write the trie*
gram, lie had refused positively at first,
but the appeal had been continued on
tho ground that his resignation would
l»o a public calamity. After an hour’s
vernest work on tin* part of the ootu-
inltu* the judge wns induced to sign
the following telegram:
"I withdraw the resignation I mailed
you today."
When the telegram war. read, cheer
nfter cheer went up from nearly every
member present.
A motion was carried requesting Mr.
XVssau to draft a resolution of thauks
for Judge llanletnau. expressing their
gratitude for his withdrawal of the resig
nation.
Mr. Dessau stated that he intended go
ing to Atlanta this morning. He was re-
«iuc«tv«l to call on the governor hum*-
diatdy and express the sentiments of ths
bar iu the matter, nnd to make sure that
the telegram did not fail to reach its
destination.
* Mr. Dessau stated that owing to busi
ness engagements ho would be unable
to draft the resolution to Judge Harde
man until Wednesday morning. He was
requested to see Judge Hardeman at
once nnd thank him on behalf of the bar,
nnd then to let the resolution follow.
After the meeting adjourned a banquet
for Judge Hardeman waa suggeated by
some of the membera of the bar.
A CLOSE CONTEST.
It la Hard to Determine the Most Pop
ular Cadet. •
Last night was “Cadet'a Night" at
the Catholic Church fa4r, and a flatter
ing attendance of St. Joaeph's Tem
perance Cadet* attended in full uni
form.
The fair hall waa well filled until a
late hour and the evening was a decid
ed auccesa In every particular, many
articles being disposed of and a large
sum for paying off the church debt
realized.
The chief Interest of the evening was
centered around the contest for the
most popular Cadet. Each member of
the company had many friends present,
but the contest soon narrowed down
«o Hert. McKenna and Cadets Daly,
Rooney. Hogan and Oalnnone. Owing
to the great Interest and the expressed
desire of many to have the contest
continued, it was decided to carry It
over to tonight, at which time the re
sult will be declared and the prize
awarded.
The doll contest was also spirited,
and the friends of the little girls backed
their favorites liberally. This contest
will last until Saturday night, when
It Is expected the fair will close.
I will sell a desirable piece of store
property before the court house today
at 11 o'clock. Those looking for a good
Investment cannot afford to be away.

REDUCED AGAIN.
The Central 8hop Employes Go Back
On Eight Hours' Time.
The employes of the Central railroad
shops yesterday returned to eight
hours' time, by which Is meant that
they are to work only eight hours per
day and receive pay for only eight
hours.
A few months ago the hours of work
at the shops was changed from eight
to ten houa, nnd the employes hoped
these hours would be maintained, hut
owing to n relaxation of business, prob
ably caused by the waning of the cot
ton acHsoti, the hours have been again
reduced.
The men accept the reduction on the
ground that a half loaf Is better than
none, but It Is rather hard lines for
some of them.

A Prominent Citizen Says Macon Tax
Payers Pay lor Working All
o! Bibb's Roads.
COUNTRY CITIZENS DON’T PAY.
He Cannot Understand Whjr the People hiving
Ontiida the dtp Are Hot Compelled to
Pay for tho Working of tho
Boadaof the County.
•'Did It ever occur to you," aaid a
promlnet citizen yenterday. "that the
citizens of the city of Macon pay for
keeping up the roads of the county?"
"Hadn't given It a thought," replied
the reporter.
"Well, It’s a fact, and in addition to
this, they arc now called on to pay a
13 street tax while the people of the
county pay nothing except a poll tax,
and they don’t pay that unless they
vote. The poll tax goes to the educa
tional fund.
"Now look at It this way," he con
tinued, warming up to the subject,
"about nineteen-twentieths of the taxes
paid In Bibb county are paid by the
citizens of Macon. I say ninoteen-
twentieths. but I don’t know the exact
proportion—at any rate the population
Is no less and probably considerably
more—the county does not collect
road tax, but pay* out of the general
funds in the county treasury for the
working of the roads. Did you i
bear of anybody In Bibb county being
asked for road tax? Did you ovi
hear of anybody being called upon to
work the roads In Hue of payment of
road tax? Of course not. Everybody
knows this, but few people have given
the matter any thought. This being
the case .don’t you sec who pays for
the working of the county roadsT
Don’t you see that the citizens of Mi
con Is called upon to keep up their
own streets and the. county thorough-
farce, too?
"Now I think the county commis
sioners should collect a road tax from
the citizens of the county. I don't
know the law In regard to Bibb county,
but I do know that In every county
in the state In which I have lived
every citizen between certain ages is
fequirod to pay a road tax or work
the roads.”
