New York, June 1.—The Press says
It was remarked Inst night that Prealdent
dowry, of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, was preparing to spring a
Prtaa on his dissatisfied telegraphers by the
voluntary announcement of au elglit-bour
day. The matter of hours has been one of
the chief points In the grievance of the
men and the concession of this Item will
put an end at once to the possibility of
• strike. No confirmation of the minor
established last night from the office of the
company, but they nlso refused to deny It
President H. J. Small, of the Commercial
Telegraphers* Union of America, admitted
that there was good ground for the belief
that Prealdent dowry bad planned to Jump
Into the dividing breach between the com
pany and Its tneu with some such voluntary
announcement, and aal«l that he bad heard
that the declaration of an eight hour ached*
a might come today. Thla, however, he
d he thought wae premature.
The American says:
The tnemhera of the telegraphera' union,
cuinprlslnir the employees of ihe Western
Union Telegraph Company are strengthen
S their lines In anticipation of the meet-
of the hoard of directors of the com-
y, which on Juno 12 Ik exported to pas*
upon the demands of the men. They be
lleve that Itobert C. dowry, president and
general ms linger of the company, will use
ms Influence to oppose their demands, nnd
that he Is preparing for u possible strike.

ahoals and are now In possession of all
the property In this vicinity, which will
be affected by the back water from
their immense dam, with the exception
of the thirteen acres of land on the old
Thompson factory site.

to control the situation on Broad river.

TRIAL OF TOM BATTLE
WILL BEGIN MONDAY.
Special to The Georgian.
Macon, Ga., June 1.—Tom Battle,
charged with the murder of IX M. Ber
ry, will be placed on trial for Ills life
on Monday morning. The case will be
tried before Judge Speer, in the United
States court, as the killing of Retry
occurred on the new government build',
lng. Since the killing of Berry, about
three weeks ago. Tom Battle has been
onflned In a cell at the Bibb county
Jail awaiting trial.
He Is an old confederate veteian.
apd a great deal of interest Is being
taken in his case by prominent people
living in Macon.
Battle claims that at the time Her-
It was In one of the primary grades
of the West End School. The teacher
was talking to the youngsters about
the nobility of authorship, telling them
much the novels of Dickens und
Reade had done to effect social and
political reforms, and how much en
tertainment had been furnished and
how much happiness had been pro-
?d in the world by the stories and
poems of other great writers.
Finally she said:
“Out here In West End we have an
author, a modest, shy tnun, whose
books are loved by men and women
und boys nnd girls In every part of the
world. Little children In England and
France and Germany nnd Italy and
India, and even In China, know his
name und love him because of his
stories. He Is a great author. Now,
who can tell in© his name?”
There wax a moment of hesitation,
and then several hands were raised,
one of them was beating the air with
the violence of enthusiastic knowledge.
"You may tell me, Tomhiy,” said
the teacher to the boy.
“She’ff Nelms,’’ the boy shouted.
It’s a rare author that Is known in
his own ward.
A lot of Incidents that get credit
for being examples of telepathy nnd
other weird things are really nothing
but chance, which, after all, is the most
natural thing on earth.
But It will be difficult to convince a
young Atlantan that there was not
something occult or extraordinary In
this happening of n day or two ago.
The young man was on his way to
the theater with a voting lady, who
was a mighty good friend of his. She
was to leave the next day for the mid
dles West, nnd was to stop a day or
two In Toledo, in which city the young
man had lived at one time.
When they had become seated In the
theater, the man said to the young
lady: "I wrote this afternoon to John
Blank, my chum In Toledo, telling him
you are going to visit the Dashes
there, and I asked him to call to see
you. He knows the Dashes very well, i
I want him to meet you, and I know !
you will like him—”
He was interrupted to rise and let
two men pass to their scats, and as !
he looked up he turned pale ns though
he had scon a ghost.
Then he pulled himself together and
said: "Why. hello, John Blank."
It was his Toledo friend on his way
to Florida on an unexpected business
trip.
After Introductions, the young At-
lnntnn pulled out of his pocket the let
ter ho had written that afternoon, and
handed It to the Ohioan. And he Is
seeking vainly to explain the Incident
to himself.
The Sunday school teacher had Just
caught the new pupil In a flb, nnd she
stopped the progress of the lesson to
admonish the boy. He was about six
years old, and his nose was Just a dab
on his freckled face, and his hair was
red.
"Don't you know, Johnny," she said
sternly, "that if you tell stories you
will go to hell when you die?"
It was a denomination to which hell
Is a very real and a very hot place.
"And when you go to hell, the devil
will take you nnd hold you over a Are,
and he will roast you and fry you In
the flames.
"And this won’t be Just for a minute
or an hour, but It will be forever and
ever nnd ever."
Johnny looked a little bit Indignant,
but he asked:
"Will the devil do that Just for one
little old lie?"
"Yes,’’ said the teacher.
Johnny’s Up curled with scorn.
"The son of a gun!” he said.
