MARSHAL WHilt MS
HEARD NOTHING VET
. Marshal George F. Whlta ha* not yet
heard anything from Washington ton*
cerning his appointment.
it Is probablo that nothing will bo done
h any of the appointments until
holidays. In (lie meantime the

thought of. Here Is something from the
Amerlcus Tlmes*ltecorder that lie ap
predates highly:

(White, well known throughout the south
ern district of Georgia us one of the
most courteous and affable of men. faith
ful. as fdr.as the public can Judge, in
the performance of Ills official duties,
and at the same time ulways considerate
In his treatment of those who come into
several years he has held the office the
marshal lias met many people in this
section and In no instance that we nro
aware has the impression he has left
been other than favorable.
Charges that on the face are of a most
ridiculous nature are reported to have
been made, growing out of political dif
ferences In the white republican ranks
in Georgia. The accusation that the
marshal actually “swiped" some hot?!
spoons as souvenirs while on the western
trip to the Denver convention Is too ludi
crous to do more than raise a loud laugh.
If nothing more serious than charges like
! this can be alleged against Marshal White
thr.se desiring his official scalp are apt
to find themselves occupying an unenvia
ble position. Public sentiment never en
dorses attacks that emanate from per
sonal spite unless they are based on
serious misdoing, and have a genuine
and Indisputable basis of fact on Which
to rest. Silly assaults arising from politi
cal spleen da the peeler* more hgrnj. as
a geiftr&l thine, than they Jo tne AC cased.
If Marshal White's enemies have to re
sort to “spoon" stories his reappointment
would seem assured.

loman, the negro soldier, who was said
to be tho head conspirator In the
Brownsvlllo affair, and mentioned so
frequently in nil tho reports of that
affair, was In St. Louis in August last,
and that ho is supposed to bo in that
city now.
Holloman was. in Macon some years
ago, and at that time was a member*
of tho Twenty-fifth United States in
fantry. That lie had a bank account
is certain, the deposit being mndo In
the bank with which tho gentleman
referred to was connected.
Lawson, the negro detective, who
was sent hero to ferret out Hollomnn,
reported to his superior officer that he
had located Holloman, but could got
nothing out of him. It will bo recalled
that ho said ho was located at a certain
number nnd house on Middle street on
Pleasant Hill, This was In September
of this year, nnd .one month later
when Detective Browne came to Macon
and In company with License Inspector
Herrington and Detective X°ni Jones
went out to tho placo designated, they
found no such house and number, nnd
no such man.
From what was said yesterday, Hol
loman was In St. ’Louts when Lawson
was In Macon nnd had him located,
