Sheriff Bagnall Is ; man, and talked most Intel ligently on the political situation In his stale. “We think mighty well of Governor Vardaman," he continued, "but we are satisfied to have him as governor. Mis sissippi is proud of John Sharp Wil liams, and believes It will be to the glory of the old state to send him to the United States senate. I believe he will be elected easily over Governor Vardaman." Senator Tom Felder, of Macon, play ed a lono and, In Its practical results, a losing hand, Friday afternoon In his filibuster to prevent the prohibition bill from coming up for action, but In all fairness It must be said he played It with consummate’skill. With the batteries of half a doxen senators leveled at him In an effort to shoot him oIT his feet with points of cider, he maintained his equilibrium remarkably well, and It took the presi dent nlmself to drag him down.

This bill can not pass here without twenty-three votes. The sen ate differs from the house. They think nothing of passing bills over there with only 23 present." And Joe Hill Hall, who had come over to hear his former colleague, chuckled In grim appreciation. Judge W. N. Spence, of the Albany circuit, announces that he will not en ter tho race for congress In the Sec end district against Congressman J. M, Griggs. This leaves Judge A. S. Roddenberry In the race against Judge Griggs, and those who know say that a real live time Is ahead down in that neck of the woods. It Is reported that Solicitor O. H. P. Bloodworth, of Forsyth, will shortly announce for congress In the Sixth dis trict, opposing Congressman Charles L. Bartlett. Both were ardent advocates of Governor Hoke Smith, so that ques tlon would not enter Into the contest. Mr. Bloodworth Is said to know per. sonally nearly every man In the die trlct, to have many strong friends and to be a live wire In a political mlx-up. No one denies that Judge Bartlett is some himself In a heated potttloa) shindy. If stories In Chattanooga papers are to be given credence, the principal oc cupation of most of the population of Catoosa county. Georgia, Is to camp on the trail of autolsts from the Tennessee city. At the last session of the general sembly Dr. J. 8. Alsobrook, then rep resenting the Forty-fourth district, of which Catoosa county is a part, had passed a rather stringent automobile law, which applies to that county only. Catoosa has many fine roads leading to the national Chlckamauga Park. Within the past few weeks the of. flclats have been making It hot for the Chattanooga automoblllsts who come down and put dents In the local law. According to reports, the first move, ment was to lino the highways with deputy sheriffs, who nailed the offend Ing Chnttanoogans, hurried them oft to the nearest Justice of the peace promptly and Invariably assessei collected rather neat fines. That process of separating the auto owners from their cash palled finally, and they grew wary. Vigilance of the Georgia officials apparently became lax and the automoblllsts were lulled Into the belief that the storm was over. They began driving the chug-chug wagons at the same old speed-de vourlng rate. But another storm Is duo to burst on the head of the devoted chauffeurs shortly. Now, It Is said that the Ca toosa authorities have quietly secured evidence and will shortly ask for re qulsltlons enough. If granted, to bring back to Georgia the entire automobile owning population of Chattanooga. These must be prosperous days for Catoosa county officials. Senator Camp had a distressing time of It Friday. He held some typewrit ten papers In his hands, which hi scanned anxiously from tlmo to time, Once or twice he halt arose as If to ad dress the chair, but somebody would head him off by getting recognition first. Just after the fight opened on the prohibition bill and during a brief lull In the storm. Senator Camp arose and solmenly said: “Mr. President. I have here some res. olutlnns and an invitation I would like to have the clerk read." The chair regrets that he can not recognise the senator now," said Prcsl. dent Akin. "I beg pardon,” replied Senator Camp, sinking Into hla sest with a regretful sigh. Some time later he cautiously made hla way across to Senator Felder, who was speaking. There was a whispered consultation, and Senator Camp was seen to place the typewritten sheete be fore Senator Felder, with a pleading expression written on his face. xpresslon written on ms tace. Then the Macon man waved Jilm aeldc and continued hli ator Camp crept back a crestfallen air. The senate did not learn the nature of the resolutions or the Invitation. Representative Ward (by request) has Introduced a bill In the house to create ths now county of Satllla, with Wtllacoochea as the county alts. It la proposed to take slices out of Coffee, Berrien and Clinch to create Satllla county. A revolution In the voting machinery of the state Is contemplated In a bill Introduced In the house by Representa tive Bond, of Forsyth.

Shearer, who moved that Park Woodward be asked to resign, and who was criticised In a card by the latter. Issues the following reply: To tho Editor of The Georgian: "In this mprnlng'a Issue of The At lanta Constitution there In a card signed by Park Woodward which seek* to cast some reflection* on me. “I was present at the special meeting of council called to consider the water works situation merely as an Interested citizen and tax-payer. I was added to the commltteo of council appointed to Investigate this situation us a citizen, along with Judge George Hltlyer and Mr. Anthony Murphy, on motion of Councilman Huddleston, a gentleman whom I know only by reputation, and It was done without any solicitation-on my part. I agreed to serve because I had the Interest of the city of Atlsnta at heart and wanted to do all I could for my city. "In the committee I made a motion to ask for the resignation of the super intendent of waterworke because I thought that he was responsible for tile deplorable condition of the water sup ply through his inefficiency, Inattention to duties and Incompentency to dls- and had his way about It, I would still be there If I wanted the Job. I was put out by the petty politicians, not because of any Inefficiency and Incom petency on my part, but because they wanted the Job for eome of their own favorites. “We found that the condition ot muddy water existed in the city of At lanta because the superintendent ot waterworks did not understand the sit uation and didn't know how to meet the situation. He reduced the pressure of the pumps that had been run for s at 117 down to 110. He promised city of Atlanta muddy water II they didn't let his crowd spend ths bond money and they got the muddy wuter. It Is about the only promise that he ever made and kept that 1 know of. Any capable, conscientious engineer could have taken hold of this situation and could have avoided all of this muddy water that tha city has Buffered from. I thought when I made my motion to oak for hla resignation that the city ought to have a first-class mechanical and hydraulic engineer In charge of this department, a man capable of handling all emergencies. That w* have not got In the person of our pres, ent superintendent, and It la what tha city haa got to have before th« water, wurka la put upon a practical basis, and It Is practically all that tha city needs In order to have a first-class charge the duties of his office. The waterworks motion was not pressed because It was reference Is made to the Re- construction period. I could give soms pi suggested that It was outside of the duties of this committee and because It was further suggested that If wo should ask him to resign that he would not do It. but would continue to hold on to his lob and draw the salary, whether the city got vulue received or not, "Who is Sheerer!"
