>'as the bill by Messrs. Hall, Felder
Mind Kllburn, of Bibb, asking permis
sion either to sell or exchange the
present building nr.d lot for a more
piconvenlent und commodious place. It
..•was pointed out that the present prop
arty in Macon was valuable, but not
rcommodious enough. The building also
Kwas unsafe for blind pupils.
The purpose is to sell the present
plot and building and buy other prop
erty further from the center of the
jjclty which would be more commodious.
IVV’ith the proceeds from the sale of the
►present property, a new building could
*8>e erected.

l t>uildlng would be placed in a body of
■ land near the city of Macon.
Dr. Kelly, of Glascock, said that he
Iliad served for five years on the com
mittee which visited the academy,
*«nd that he was impressed with »ho
danger of confining blind pupils in such
a high building, and in such a small
•lot He urged the members to pass
rthe bill.
Mr. fiross, of McDuffie, offered -n
^amendment giving the right to estab
lish the academy "anywhere in the

iently located. He said that a large

on the car lines near Macon. Mr.
Gross’ amendment was put and lost.
The bill was then put to a rising vote

ger to file his formal resignation in
the office of the secretary of state, as
the constitution and public officers law
required.
He left Eaoptis at 10:26 n. m., ac
companied by the newspaper men who
have been on duty at Rosemount over
since his nomination. Until after the
train had left Kingston he would not
divulge his destination. Few of the
people in the day conrh in which he
rode appeared to recognize him, though
there were one or two Ulster county
acquaintances with whom he chatted
until the train reached Kingston. IIo

and nfter luncheon went to the capitol
and at once Joined in consultation with
his colleagues over the cases pending
before the 'court
The consultation lasted a little over
one hour, and at 3:05 the Judges filed
into the court room and handed down
to the clerk sixty-six decisions, which
practically cleared up the business be
fore the court. The only cases re
mainlng are two or three in the hands
of Judges Gray and Bartlett, who are
in Europe. All of the cases in which
Judge Parker was assisting Judge were
disposed of.
An interesting featuro of the session
of court war that th.- Ju liu s wit*. with
out the long black robes which they
ordinarily wear. This wns owing to
the fact that the .session wns unex
pected and there had not been time
to get the robes, which had
packed away for the summer.
The judges present wero: Parker,
O’Brien, Martin, Vann, Cullen and
Werner. The court was in session lens
than two minutes, and adjournment
was immediately taken until October
third.
It is a long time since' any such
number of decision shs been hnnded
down at one sitting of tho court. Ilia
business ns chief Judge being thus
completed, Judge Parker then took up
tho matter upon which ho had

bers, private offices and consultation
rooms, and introduced each one to his
associate Judges. In his own room,
which he has occupied so long, he
stopped, and looked out of the window
to the distant hills, across the Hudson.
Ilia voice trembled perceptibly as 1
said: "This room, boys, was mine."
Tho very slight emphasis upon the
ord "was” was tho tlrst indication ho
had given of his intention to resign.
Returning to the consultation room,
he took a long envelope from
pocket, and turning to Buell C. An

said.
"Andrews will you do a kindness for
me. Just take this down stairs

The document read:

Judge Parker spent tho remainder
of tho afternoon in conversation v
Mm late colleagues in t.he court,
refused to mako any statement or
comment in connection with his resig

Ills fellow Judges were not so ro-

the battleship Retlzvan, but from a
gun mounted on Perlplolknga hill. The
