Peachei Are Unhurt.
Atlanta Constitution, 17th inst.
Commissioner of Agriculture T. G.
Hudson returned to the city yesterday
from Southwest Georgia, and stated
that while a light frost was noticeable
in the early morning throughout the
peach section to the south of Macon, it
was not sufficient to do any material
damage to the crop. He did not con
sider that the peaches to the south of
Atlanta had been in anywise hurt by
the weather conditions of the last few
days.
The heavy rains, however, Commis
sioner Hudson says, have caused con
siderable inconvenience and damage,
particularly as the result of flooding in
the lowlands, and much of the work
done by the farmers has thus come to
naught. It will require considerable
extra work to overcome the damage.
Wirz Monument to Be Erected at An-

Atlanta, Ga., March 12.—Anderson-

close of a session called specially to
consider this question. The contest
was between Andersoriville and Macon.
This decision closes a discussion that
has been raging for four years. At
the last State Convention it was or
dered that the monument go to Rich
mond, Va. The special session, how
ever, has rescinded this action and
placed it at Andersonville.

Fuller Callaway Quits Commission.
Z Atlanta, Ga., March 15.—The res
ignation of Fuller E. Callaway, of La
Grange, as a member of the State Rail
road Commission, was received and ac
cepted hy Gov. Hoke Smith to-day. C.
Murphy Candler, of DeKalb county,
was named as his successor. Mr. Can
dler will accept. The change becomes
effective April 1.
Mr. Callaway resigned, so he states
in a letter to the Governor, because of
the pressure of business duties. He
states that he finds that he has not the
time ro spare which proper attention to
his official dutieB requires. He is an
extensive planter, banker and mer
chant, being a man of considerable
wealth and large and growing interests
It is said that he accepted the place at
first with some reluctance, and has
since been anixous to surrender it.
'Mr. Callaway was appointed a mem
ber of the Railroad Commission by Gov.
Smith in August, 1907, under the Can-
dler-Overstreet bill increasing the num
ber of that body to five instead of three
His appointive term ended with the last
election, when he was a candidate for
the full term. He had opposition, but
won in the primary by a large majori
ty. He has been regarded as the bus
iness man and large shipper of the
Commission. Despite his business du
ties, he has given the work much time
and attention, and has been recognized
as one of the most thoughtful as well
as best-informed members of that
body.
C. Murphy Candler, who succeeds
Mr. Callaway, has been long before the
people of the State as a member of the
General Assembly. Though a lawyer
by profession, the greater part of his
private time and attention has been
given to business interests, being a
man of considerable means. He was
born in Decatur, March 17, 1858, and is
the son of Milton A. Candler, a former
Representative in Congress from the
Fifth district. He belongs to the fam
ily of Candlers which has been promi
nent in the public life of Georgia for
half a century.
President Wickersham a Worker.
Atlanta Journal, 15th inst.
While Charles A. Wickersham, pres
ident of the Atlanta and West Point
railroad, sat in his Atlanta office last
Friday morning there came a dispatch
stating that the Chattahoochee was
booming high beyond its banks at West
Point and threatening to snatch away
much property. In fact, said the tele
gram, people were beginning to use
boats about the streets of the town. A
situation like this is not inviting to
anyone, nor is it supposed generally to
tally with the rank and position of a
railroad president. But instantly Pres
ident Wickersham wired Montgomery
to send as large a crew as possible to
the endangered point, and then he him
self. boarding a special engine, hurried
straight to the flood-bound town.
Z And there he stayed, personally di
recting the work of relief and protec
tion. Not only did the West Point look
out for its own property, but wherever
an individual was in need of help it
was given him.
“Who’s the big man there in the
overcoat?” people asked.
“He’s the president of the road,”
one of the laborers answered.
“ “Well, I’d never have thought it,
from the way he works,” came the an
swer.
H Mr. Wickersham’8 knowledge of the
details of railroad business, in the me
chanical as well as executive depart
ments, has stood him in good stead on
many an occasion. He knows railroad
ing from the ground up. At the throt
tle he is just as much at home as he is
at his desk, and he can superintend
a crew of workmen as easily as he
can thread his way through the laby
rinths of finance and foresee needful
policies years ahead.
This is somewhat of a new role for
a railroad president, but it is justified
by the results at West Point.
A. E. Brod Held on Perjury Charge.
Atlanta, Ga., March 14. — A. E.
Brod, a former Newnan mechant, was
brought to Atlanta late yesterday af
ternoon and placed under bond for trial
in the United States Court on a charge
of perjury.
Several months ago Mr. Brod en ■
tered bankruptcy. After the regular
procedure he applied for dismissal.
Several of his creditors objected. The
matter was referred to a special mas
ter, who, after hearing evidence, rec
ommended that the petition be de
clined. The recommendation was based
on suspicions relative to Brod’s state
ments in his bankruptcy petition and
the disposition of assets he was known
to have had. They were not reported
in his schedules, and his books did not
show they had been sold. Discharge
was denied.
The Federal grand jury indicted the
former bankrupt last week, and he will
be tried on a criminal charge. The
case is said to represent the first move
on the part of Atlai ta wholesale mer
chants to discourage spjrious bank
ruptcies. They are working in con
cert, and when a debtor claims to be
broke his case is carefully investiga
ted to determine whether or not he is
acting honorably, or merely taking ad
vantage of the bankruptcy law to
avoid the payment of his debts. Where
proof of the latter can be obtained, the
guilty parties will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.
