NEWS OF A DAY IN
GEORGIA’S CAPITAL
WAS ROUGH ON THE JUDGES.
PASSES CUT OFF AND SALARIES
NOT RAISED.
Some ol the Judiciary Suffer and
Receive No Compensating Advant
ages From the Jndge*’ Salary Bill.
They Have the Sympathy and Fa
vorable Opinion of Officials, Bat
the Language of the Bill Is Clear
ly Against Them—Atlanta’s Police
Troubles.
Atlanta, Aug:. 13.—Members of
the Legislature who took part In the
discussion over the judges’ salary bill
and State House officers express the
opinion that the prohibition with re
gard to free railroad passes and franks
does not apply to those judges now
in commission, and who will not re
ceive the increased salaries.
Speaker Morris, Representatives Fel
der of Bibb, Gross of McDuffie, Sena
tor Comas, author of the bill, and Gov.
Terrell, in interviews to-day, state
they are confident It was never the in
tention of the General Assembly to de
prive of passes those judges who re
main on the present salaries.
The case of Justice Cobb of the Su
preme Court is cited as an instance. He
will not receive the increased salary
until after Jan. 1, 1909, and those here
mentioned say they would, regard it as
somewhat unfair to deprtve him and
others in the same position of passes
before they secure the increased sal
aries. Notwithstanding this, the bill
clearly states that no judge of the Su
preme or Superior Courts shall receive
or use free passes or franks for himself
or his family after the passage of this
act. The Legislature’s intention was
doubtless good, but it failed to put it
in the right shape. What the judges
will do in the matter has not yet de
veloped.

Nunnally, who made the charge of iin
competency against Chief John W.
Ball, says he will not lead the fight
against the chief.
The faction opposed to Chief Ball has
about succeeded in fixing things, how
ever, so that the chief will have to
demand an investigation, and if he
does this he goes up against a stacked
board that Us ready to discharge him
if it can possibly do it.
The people are disgusted with the
whole proceeding, and some of them
are demanding that the police board
should resign in a body. The City
Council will take up the matter on
Monday, and it is said there is a like
lihood of passage of ordinances which
will put anew light on the situation.
One of the proposed ordinances would
make a two-thirds vote of the police
board necessary to impeach the chief,
which would protect him from the fac
tional fight on him. Council is also
considering an ordinance making Po
lice Commissioners ineligible to suc
ceed themselves, and it may go so
far as to ask the entire Police Com
mission to resign.
Jamestown Commission Named.
Gov. Joseph M. Terrell to-day named
the Jamestown Exposition Commis
sion. It is composed of Hon. W. N.
Mitchell of Atlanta, Representative
Martin V. Galvan of Augusta and Rep
resentative S. R. Fields of Cordele.
Commissioner of Agriculture O. B.
Stevens and State Geogolist W. S.
Yeates, are also members.
This is one of the most Important
commissions to be named, and it was
largely through the efforts of Mr. Cal
vin that the famous Virginians who
spoke here a few days ago were in
vited. The speeches of Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee and Mr. Goode created much en
thusiasm.
Mistake In tlie Bill.
Owing to a mistake made in an ef
fort to amend a local bill incorporating
the town of MoCaysville, In Fannin
county, the measure may he vetoed
by the Governor. Senator Allan in
troduced the amendment so as to cut
the provision permitting the selling of
liquor. He made it amend Section 21,
whereas the liquor provision was in
Section 22. The officers of the House
and Senate and the Governor are so
doubtful about the matter that the
Attorney General has been asked for
an opinion. If the amendment can
not be put in as the Legislature in
tended it, the Governor will probably
veto the bill.

$53,322,234. The total increase in tax

largest year up to that time. With
the increase in corporation returns
made to the Controller General, the

Chairman Brown’s Reply to Letter
of Macon Board of Trade.
Macon, Aug. 13.—The meeting of the
Transportation Committee of the Ma
con Chamber of Commerce, which was
to have been held to-day to discuss
what should be done In view of the
fact that several communications had
been addressed to the Georgia Railroad
Commission and that there has been
no reply, has been called off. An an
swer was received this morning from
Hon. Pope Brown. He explained that
the delay in replying to the letters
from the Chamber of Commerce was
due to the fact that at the time the
last letter was received he was Just
taking his leave for Albany, where he
was going to inspect the depot situa
tion.
In his letter Mr. Brown says: "It is
not the intention of this board to make
or to approve any rate that will dis
criminate against any city in the
state In favor of Atlanta. We are here
to prevent discriminations, and if any
shall occur at any time without our
knowledge It will be our duty, as well
as our pleasure, to use our best efforts
to promptly correct them when brought
to our attention.”
The reply of Chairman Brown is in
terpreted by the Transportation Com
mittee to mean that In the event. It
appears some unfairness has been done
Macon by the carrying out of the rec
ommendation of the commission with
regard to Atlanta, the former will then
have the right to a hearing before the
commission.
Inasmuch as there is yet thirty days
in which the railroads will have time
to comply with the recommendations
of the commission, the Board of Trade
will simply await developments.

to-night jailed the person whom they
believe has committed the majority of
the thirty-odd burglaries in Columbus

Charles Gaston, but is believed to be
Lucius Fann, a negro sent to the peni
tentiary a number of years ago for
burglarizing the home of M. L. Har
ris and who escaped from the pen, it
is thought.
The police have been watching for
the tnegro for several days, having
learned he had sold some of the prop

dences to another negro.
Gaston admitted having burglarized
eight houses.

Occupation Statistic* of the United
States, .lust Issued, Show Farmers
at the Top of the List.
From the Washington Star.
The director of the census has made
public a report on occupations of citi
zens of the United States, as collected
by 53,000 enumerators of the Census
Bureau. The report was prepared by
Mr. William C. Hunt, chief statistician
for population, assisted by Dr. Joseph
A. Hill and Mr. William Rossiter of
the division of publications. The pub
lication is profusely illustrated with
maps and diagrams, prepared in the
geographical division under the direc
tion of Mr. Charles S. Sloane, acting
geographer.
The report shows that over 39 per
cent, of the persons employed in gain
ful occupations in the United States
are employed in agricultural pursuits.
In collecting statistics of occupations
only persons ten years of age and over
were considered.
The generalizations and comparisons
which follow are restricted to the re
turns for Continental United States,
which consists of that part of the
United States on the Continent of
North America south of the Canadian
boundary, and therefore excludes Alas
ka, Hawaii, and the military and naval
stations abroad.
In Continental United States the to
tal number of persons engaged in gain
ful occupations in 1900 was 29,073,233,
which was one-half, 50.2 per cent, of
the population ten years of age and
over, and nearly two-fifths, 38.3 per
cent, of the entire population. Of this
number, 23,753,836 were males and 5,-
319,397 were females.
The males gainfully employed con
stituted 80 per cent., or four-fifths, of
the male population ten years of age
and over, and 61.2 per cent., or more
than three-fifths of the total male pop
ulation. The females gainfully em
ployed constituted 18.8 per cent, of
the female population ten years of
age and over and 14.3 per cent, of the
total female population.
In the classification for the twelfth
census there was 303 specified occu
pations, or 140 ocupations or groups.
These were classified under five main
heads, showing as follows, with the
per cantage of the population employ
ed therein:
Thirty-nine and six-tenths per cent,
were engaged in agricultural pursuits,
21.3 per cent, in manufacturing and
mechanical pursuits, 17.9 per cent. In
trade ‘and transportation, 14.7 per cent,
in domestic and personal service, and
3.5 per cent, in professional service.
Agricultural pursuits constitute,
therefore, the most Important class of
occupations for this sex. More than
one-half of the males In this main
class are farmers, planters, and over
seers, and about two-fifths are agri
cultural laborers.
More than seven-tenths of the male*
classified under domestic and personal
service are laborers (not specified).
Under trade and transportation the
leading occupation groups for males
are those of retail merchants ‘and deal
ers, steam railroad employes, clerks
and copyists, draymen, hackmen and
teamsters, and salesmen. The num
ber of males In these five groups make
up about two-thirds of the total num
ber In this rrfain class.
The males engaged In manufacturing
and mechanical pursuits are widely
distributed in a number of occupation
groups, of which the two largest are
those of mHers and quarrymen, and
carpenters and Joiners, these two in
cluding about one-fifth of the total
number of males In this class.
In the North Atlantic division the
number of males engaged in manufac
turing and mechanical pursuits Is con
siderably larger than the number en
gaged In any other main class of oc
cupations, constituting 89.1 per cent.,
or nearly two-fifths of the total num
ber of male workers In this division.
In each of the other geographic di
visions. agricultural pursuits consti
tute the most Important branch of oc
cupations, being 54.9 per cent., or two
flfths of all in the South Atlantic di
vision; 41.7 per cent., or two-fifths
of all In the north central division, and
66.3 per oent., or two-thirds of all in
the south central division.

The time was, and not so long ago,

from the activities of life.
Our connection of the man of 75
only a few years ago was that of a
white-haired pgtrlarch who found
pleasure only In reminiscences, the
sectarian weeklies, checkers, dominoes
and his grandchildren.
But the times have changed. The av
erage man of 75 to-day Is neither
bent, feeble, nor senile. He has not
retired from the activities of life, that
he Is aware of; nor has he any Idea of
retiring. Much less <ls he Inclined to
surrender to the younger people around

pleasures of existence. He reads the
sporting columns, piays golf, roots for
His favorite baseball club, and may
perchance take a flyer on the races.
Moreover, 'he Is. If anything, inclined
to be more attentive to the ladles then
he was at 60, at 40, or at 30.
There Is William Ross, aged 73, for

frequently disappointing his relatives,
who were looking for a share In his
fortune of SIOO,OOO, by refusing to die,
he fell In love with a young widow
and married her. He Is, 111 fact, only
