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- dersonville.

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. Confederate Topedo Boat to Be Raised.
