BISHOP CANDLER
FOR PROHIBITION
Illahop Warren A. Cuiuller say* that
grave Injustice has been done him by
paragraph recently printed In Torn Wat
non’* Weekly Jeffersonian. In which It was
ullegcd that in the campaign of 1896 Bishop
Candler opposed state prohibition In favor
of local option.
Bishop Candler say* that hi* position then
Is uot a question of Mr. Wutsou’s memory
or anylHMly else’* memory, but of record.
He states that he opposed identifying I
r rohlbltlou cause with the Issues and f
une* of any political party or person.
Bishop Csinflcr calls attention to a card
trlnted then In an Atlanta paper In which
ic said he favored every form of proliibl-
hether by local option, a statute for
ole state or
He says he
rord In that rani.
Prohibition, or at least prohibition as
It applies to the state at large, and
all other differences which have arisen

7 WO MEN AND A GIRL;
TOO MUCH TALK AND A FIG HI
When M. F. Seagraves, a street car
conductor, was Informed by ft young
woman friend that Frank Finley, a so
licitor, had been telling her alleged
raise stories regarding him, he tele
phoned Finley to meet him Sunday
morning at 8:30 at South Forsyth and
Garnett streets.
The two young men, who are said
to be rivals over the girl In question,
met at the appointed time and place
and a bloody fight resulted, In which
Finley Is said to have been consider
ably worsted. He testified In police
court Monday morning that Seagraves
struck him In the head with a blllle,
knocked him down, kicked him and
otherwise misused him.
Seagraves admitted that he tele
phoned Finley to meet him Sunday
morning, and said he was provoked to
make tho attack because of certain
falso stories credited to Finley. Ac
cording to Seagraves, these stories In
volved the statement that he had
“hugged and squeezed the girl In the
case, and had kissed her, not once, but
a thousand times.” He said the girl
told him Finley made such statements
to her. He declnred Finley was jealous
of him and that this caused the trou
ble.
Seagraves said ho thought he was
perfectly Justifiable In what ho did, but
Recorder Broyles hold differently. He
snhl tho law did not give a person the
right to attack another because of
some statement mode to his back.
The recorder Imposed a fine of J10.76
on Seagraves, and, at the request of
Finley, bound him over to the state
courts under 3100 bond On the charge
of assault und battery.
The girl, over whom the young men
fought, was not In court, and her name
was not brought out.
WITH THE LAWMAKERS
A typographical error In innklng
typewritten copies of the Hardman
prohibition bill, which was printed In
the papers without being detected for
correction, has caused much uneasl-
nets among the prohibition forces over
the state.
In the section providing the punish
ment for violations of any provision
of the act, the section was printed as
'section 1939 of the criminal code.” It
was so printed In local papers. Imme
diately the advocates of prohibition de
tected that there was no such section
m the crlmlnul code, and that section
1939 of the civil code referred to some
thing entirely foreign to the subject.
Inquiries began rolling In from all
parts of the state. A trick was sus-
pected to defeat the measure. But Sen
ator Hardman soon quieted the fears
of every one by explaining that the
section was 1039 of the criminal code,
and that It so appears in the bill
passed.
This has been a working senate,
majority of the body Is opposed to ad
journment so long as there t* anything
irmalnlnc on the calendar for action.
And the calendar Is right up to date
tow Time has been when matters
began to congest towards the close of
the session, but If it happens this year.
If certainly Is not going to be the fault
of the senate. So far the dafly at
tendance has been higher then for any
senate of years. The number of ab
sentees Is few, and those who may be
£ way have providential cause. Senator
Stephtns was detained for several day;
after tho session began because of the
critical Illness of Ills young son. Tide
wrek he was excused until July 2.i In
eider to attend the encampment of the
military at Fort Screyen Benator
Stephens Is a major In she FWrtn r«fl*
ment Senator Flyut has been absent
much of the time owing to the critical
Illness of Ids venerable father In Grif
fin It Is not unusual for every mem-
ler of the body to be In his seat. The
hfrhest number of absentees In one day
l.M never exceeded half a down.
as though the upper house of the gen
eral assembly Is sitting In solemn de
liberation under the black flag. Who
ever Is responsible ought to take cog
nizance and remove from the senate the
stigma of doing business under an
emblem commonly supposed to repre
sent piracy,
Inadvertently The Georgian put Sen
ator E. P. Dobbs In the wrong pew. The
wise and rotund representative of the
Thirty-fifth was placed among the list
of legal luminaries who shed wisdom
over the senate. It was done without
malice nnd under a misapprehension.
Knowing the ability of the senator
along lines ordinarily supposed to be
long exclusively to the disciples of
Blackstone, he was placed there with
out personal Investigation and upon the
direct avowal of another member.
Senator Dobbs Is first of all o manu
facturer; next he Is a horticulturist.
Some avow that he is a theoretical hor
ticulturist. Be that ns It may, he suc
ceeds In doing whatever he sets him
self seriously at aa well as the next.
The mere physical accomplishment Is
but a trifling matter. It Is his brain
and planning that brings results. And
In It all. Senator Dobbs finds time to
make Marietta a rattling good mayor, a
statement that will be corroborated by
anybody who lives In that beautiful lit
tle neighbor of Atlanta.
Reports from Columbus are to the
effect that Chief of Police WJJey Wil
liams will enter the race for prison
commissioner to succeed Commission
er Tom Eason, whose term expires two
years hence. Captain Williams made
the race in 1902. nnd got a very sub
stantial vote. There was talk of his
opposing General Evans last year, but
he never announced. Captain Williams
has many friends over the state who
will work hard for him If he gets In the
race.
DR. HOLDERBY TALKS
ON PROHIBITION
Rev. Dr. A. R. Holderby, of the Moore
Memorial Church, preached an Inter
eating sermon Sunday morning nnd In
cidentally he paid hla respects to those
seeking to prevent prohibition.
“The whole whisky gang and every
miln who opposes prohibition Is an ene
my to God and humanity,” said Dr.
Holderby. "But the gang Is doomed,
nnd they haven't got money enough to
buy up the temperance men of our
legislature."
Dr. Holderby took for his text X'Cor.,
xl: 57: “But thanks be unto God who
glveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ." The sermon was en
Joyed by a large congregation.

first two named are designated government
depositories, nnd always have a large
amount of government funda on deposit
The withdrawal of this amount of money
had no effect on the local conditions. Bach
