In plead- |Rf guilty he made an Impressive ad dress to the Judge, stating that he had commenced his career In politics with high Ideals for himself and for the city, but that conditions had broken him down, and he now desired only an opportunity to make reparation and restore his character before the world. After he concluded his address he fell back Into his chair, almost fainting. 1 and tears coursed down his cheeks.

KING TON, May 15.—A memo randum bearing on the removal of Postmaster A. M. Hughes, a: Colum bia, Tenn., and the appointment of John W. Jackson, the assistant post- ! master, in his place, was made public | at the White House today. According to this statement Mr. Hughes denied the correctness of a report of a special agent who recommended his removal for neglect of duty. The case was re opened and another special agent, who had not previously visited Columbia, was sent there to make a special can vass of the situation and report on the question as to whether or not Hughes had been faithful to his duties as post master. The White House memoran dum says: ''The special agent designated for this purpose, G. G. Thompson, appears to have made a most thorough inves tigation. interviewing not only the va rious employes of the postoffice, but a large percentage of its patrons. As a result of this investigation Mr. Thomp son reaffirmed the findings of the first report and renews the recommenda tion for the postmaster’s removal. "In concluding his report on the postmaster, he says: ’To briefly sum up the situation. I found that Col. Hughes unquestionably has made false statements to the department and that he has been utterly unfaithful to his duties as postmaster. I am thoroughly convinced that the best interests of the Government demand his > removal from office. It is entirely manifest to me that Col. Hughes regards his posi tion of postmaster as a sinecure, pure and simple, a species of pension, and a reward for past alleged political activi ty. He appears to have the impres sion that no work should be required of him. Furthermore. I found that the people of Columbia, the patrons of the office, do not want Col. Hughes as postmaster.’ ’’ The memorandum also says that Special Agent Thompson, as a result of his inquiries, reached the conclu sion that "probably 90 per cent” of the patrons of the office were in favor of Jackson’s appointment and that "it would appear that from the time of his appoinment as assistant postmas ter, over four years ago, he has actual ly conducted the office, being entitled -H-l-I-h-l- Caught on the Wing T l-e-H—l I-l -i-I-h ATLANTA, May 15.—The _____ Farmers’ Union held a called meeting , s i on and the visit of President' Roose- in t3e hall of the house of represent- i velL The naval display will surpass i to full credit for the excellent service atives here today, with delegates num- ■ that of tho opening- day of tho exposi- rendered.** bering about 300 present from all i tion, perhaps that of any occasion dur parts of the State.

In behalf of the board of trustees of the Georgia Academy for the Blind. Judge John L. Hardeman, a member of the board, will deliver the hand- rome new academy building to the Governor, as the representative of the State, at the exercises of laying the corner stone, which will probably oc cur some time next month. The fact that Judge Hardeman will make an address on this auspicious occasion suggests the mention—a very inter esting coincidence—that his father, the ’ate Thomas Hardeman, was the ora tor. on July 5. 1S5S, at the ceremony of lav’nsr the corner stone of the academy building which stood on College street, and which has been recently sold and dismantled for the purpose of erecting a larger and more suitable structure. This address by Hon. Thomas Harde man was the first speech that his son. Tudge John L. Hardeman, ever heard him deliver. And now. after the lapse of about fifty years, son follows sire and will make an address on an occa sion identical with that at which his father spake so enchantingly in the presence of two thousand people: and at the close of nearly a half century of time the son finds himself a trustee of the Institution the corner stone of whose first regular building was laid amid the melodies of an elonuenca as enrapturing as the music of the lyre of Orpheus. In addition to the large audience of civilians that witnessed the laying of the first corner stone there were present the Masonic frater-. nitv. under whose auspices the cere monies were conducted: the Odd Fel lows. military companies, the fire de partment. the Supreme Court, the Mayor and Council and other dignita ries. I understand that the corner stone of the new building will be laid with imposing exercises. Death of Mr. Richard Watkins. FLOVILLA, Ga..

Away out on the Peachtree road the The Legislature of 1854 appropriated S10.000 for the purchase or e»-p C tion of buildings for the Georgia Academy for the Blind. Of this sum 87.000 was spent in the ptirchase of the residence and lot. the lot being two acres, of Mr. Charles Cotton, on College street. The General Assembly of 1855 appro priated $20,000 and the General As sembly of 1857 appropriated $35,000, making a total of $55,000. for the erec tion of a new academy, the one which has been recently sold and torn down. By authority of the Legislature this nroperty was disposed of for $"0,000. Twenty acres of land, in Vinevlile. a short distance from the city limits, were bought for $10,000 on which to erect the handsome building which is nearly completed. This purchase of ground left on hand a balance of $40.- 000, which the Legislature supple mented last year with an appropriation of $65,000. making a toal of $105,000 to erect and equip new building, con struct a sewer and make other im provements. The grounds and build ings, independent of general equip ments and furnishings, represent an expenditure of about $90,000. Tho in stitution will be the most complete and up to date ncademv for the blind that exists in the Southern country. It is an honor to the nhilanthropy and benevolence of the State of Georgia, and a benefaction to the sightless children. WOODMEN OF THE WORLD ELECT OFFICERS FOR TWO YEAR NORFOLK.
