2 NEWS OF A DAY IN GEORGIA’S CAPITAL A SMITH TO THE RESCUE! HE WIU FIGHT THE rF.TITION OF T. CIVLKR SMITH. Atlanta Capitalist Doesn’t Approve of AVhat He Regard* a* on Insult to the Xante of Smith—Thinks T. Cuyler Smith Should Not Be Per mitted to Change His Name to Cnyler—Something About the Smiths’ Achievements. Atlanta. Pec. 29.—Jasper Newton Smith, a well known .and eccentric capitalist, better known as Jack Smith, has engaged an attorney, Frank Ar nold, to fight the petition of Telamon Cruger Cuyler Smith, asking the Su perior Court to change his naiM?"TtP Telamon Cruger Smith Cuyler. Cuyler Smith's petition to change his name to the more historic one of Cuy ler excited considerable interest and amusement at the time at was filed. Now Jasper N. Smith says he proposes to fight the petition in the interests of the honored name of Smith, and he expects to have considerable fun out of it. He cites numerous instances of men named Smith who have risen to high distinction, among them Hon. Robert Smith of Maryland, who was in Jefferson’s cabinet; Caleb B. Smith of Indiana, who was in Lincoln's cabi net; Charles Emory Smith of Philadel phia; Hoke Smith of Georgia, and other noted Smiths; and then he calls on all the lawyers named Smith in At lanta to join in the fight to sustain the honored name. In announcing his intention to fight for the name Jasper N. Smith says, in part: ‘‘ln the United States there are 600,- 000 Smiths, according to statistics, and I have furnished Peter Francisco Smith, one of the Atlanta Smith law yers, with a lengthy list of Smiths, showing that they are among the most prominent and successful citiens of America. The names will doubtless be incorporated in my answer to the bill of the man who wants to do a cogno men flip flap. The Smiths annually draw from the federal government over 13.000,000 in salaries —not pensions— which shows that their services to the country are of some value. I attribute the great number of Smiths to the hon oraible, honest, pure and healthy iive§_ that the members of the great family lead." Meat Packers Bring Suit.
