Attorney.
FOR POSTOFFICE
Comes To Central Congrega- He Insists On Georgia Ma-
tional Church Sunday
Morning.
Councilman C. Wheeler Mangum, of
the Third ward, will bo a candidate
for sheriff In opposition to Sheriff Jf
W. Nelms next year.
Colonel George Westmoreland, of
Westmoreland Brothers, wilt he a can
didate for city attorney to succeed Hon.
Jsihea L. Mayson, who will resign to
run for congress.
•'I have not made out my ticket yet,"
stated Councilman Mangum, "and am
not prepared, therefore, to make my
public announcement yet. I will get a
good ticket. You may depend on that,
and It will be a ticket that will com-
mand the confidence of the people of
the county.”
While neither Councilman Mangum
nor Colonel Westmoreland has an
nounced. It can be depended upon posi
tively that both will be In the race—
and to the finish.
Colonel Westmoreland was asked as
to fha report that he would be In the
race for city attorney.
"Probably, probably,” he stated, "but
I do not care to make ah announcemtpt
yet,”
That Councilman Mangum will op.
pose Sheriff Naims for re-election
seems now a foregone conclusion.
A prominent city official stated to
The Georgian Saturday mornlm “ ‘
Councilman Mangum has dsclt
make the race and was now arranging
a ticket of deputies.
Macon Sharps Iif Race.
In this connection It Is staled that
Macon Sharp, the well-known fire In
spector. and candidate for county treas
urer In the Inst election, will be on
the ticket with Sheriff Nelms next
That Councilman Mangum will make
a strong race for sheriff is not doubted
by those familiar with Ihs present sit
uation of political affairs In Atlanta
and Fulton-county.
Ho has lived In Atlanta practically
all his Ilfs and few men are better
known locally than he. and faw can
boast of more frlenda and stronger
friends.
He la n veteran of the Civil war and
has n splendid war record. In addi
tion, he knows the game of polltlca,
as Is evidenced by the fact that he Is
In council now and has held quits
number of public offices before.
Two candidates are already In the
r«, e for city attorney—W. T. Hill, as
sistant city attorney, and Councilman
W. II. Terrell, of the First ward.
- •, Colonel Westmoreland Is one of the
best known attorneys lit Atlanta, and
his entry Into The race will enliven the
running considerably. ,,
While highly Improbable, it Is not at
all Impossible that there will be a
change In the race for state senate,
■lack M. Slaton and HTY. McCord are
In the race now. but rumor has It that
thero Is a possibility that the former
may retire from this rare (o enter that
for congress against Hon. lain F. Llv-
log.-ton. the Incumbent, and Hon. James
I.. Uaysott. who lias announced, and
Dr. Whitley, of Douglas county.
The Mayoralty Stakes.
The situation In regard to the race
for the mayoralty remains unchanged.
Two candidates have announced; H. U.
I'sbanlss and T. II. Goodwin. Either
• ’ourtland H. Winn or Mayor Pro Tam.
T. A. Qullllan will be In the race, but
It Is stnted on good authority that they
will not oppose each other.
All reports to tha contrary notwith
standing. It can be pretty well depend
ed upon that James a. Woodward will
be in the race despite tbs majority
rule-.poaslbly, largely because of It.
Alderman James I,. Key has given
out no statement or Intimation of his
plans, but It Is generally believed that
lie will be a candidate for the mayor-
alty.
"One candidate gelling In the race
nr another getting out," he stated on a
former occasion, "will not affect me In
the least. I will either run or not run.
It la too early to even think about It
now." j.
Judge A. E. Calhoun, the Incumbent.
Councilman E. W. Martin, of the Sec
ond ward, and Hon. H. H. Blackburn,
member of the legislature, will wage a
vigorous campaign against each other
for the bench of the city court.
The race for the legislature Is un
changed. with about eight announced
or near-announced candidates already
In the-field for three positions.

DR. 8MITH BAKER.
The Central Congregational church
has secured tha services of Rev. Smith
Baker, D. D., who will fill Its pOlpit
for the winter beginning Sunday.
Dr. Baker ranks ns ona of tha ablest
preachtrs in the Congregational de
nomination. His work at Lowell, Mass.,
gave him International reputation and
resulted In building up a large and
flourishing church.
Some ten years ago he became pastor
of the WIMIston church, Portland, Me.,
famous as the birthplace of the Chris
tian Endeavor Society. He was very
successful hers and has only recently
at Ills own request been released from
this charge.
The range of Dr. Baker's Influence
can easily be Inferred from the fact
that ha haa spoken lu 21 states, at 144
Christian Endeavor conventions and
1*2 Sunday school conventions, and has
received 2.M1 persons Into church
membership. In a summary of Ills
work ut Portland It la said "The whole
state ha* felt the help of his Inspiring
addresses and wise counsels. He has
been a leader In Sunday school work
and active in almost every other Im
portant Christian movement In the
stats. His departure leaves a vacancy
herd to fill, and remove* from his
brother ministers a personal friend on
whose sympathy und experience they
have come to rely to a remarkable de
gree. To many young ministers he
has been almost n Father Confessor,
and the help he has given them defies
measurement.”
Aa a pulpit orator he hnp few equals,
and the people of Atlanta are urged to
come and hear htm. The Central Con-
f iregatlonnl church Is very prominently
ocated on Kills street, opposite tha
Carnegie library.
CITY SALESMEN
terial Being Used on
Job.
If anything but Georgia marble and
granite Is used In the new postoffico
building It will be done over the stren
uons- protests of Senator A. 8. Clay
and Congressman Lon F. Livingston,
backed by Atlanta people.
Senator Clay Joined the ranks of the
figtiters for marble Friday and
spent a good portion of the day at hlii
home In Marietta trying to get'Into
communication with the supervising
architect In Washington without suc
cess. In a conversation over the long
distance ’phone with Atlanta he de
clared It ’ wos absurd to use In the
building anything but Georgia marble
or granite and he expressed the belief
that tills materiel could be used and
still complete the building wjthtn thd
appropriation. Senator Clay will try
again , to get In communication with
Supervising Architect J. Knox Taylor
In Washington over the, long distance
'Phone and he will discuss with him
the bids and see if Atlanta people
cannot have what they want.
And. Incidentally, litis fight for
Georgia marble has caused Congress
man Livingston to miss a trip that he
had been looking forward to with
pleasure. He was scheduled to be In
New York Saturday to leave Satur
day night for the Isthmus of Panama
with the sub-conunlttee of the con
gressional committee on appropria
tions which la to make an Inspection
of the work.
T .have wanted to take this trip," ho
said, "and see Just how they were
spending our money down there and
see how the work Is getting along.
But It's all off now. I wouldn't think
of leaving while my constituency
needs my services here. They want
Georgia material In our new postoffioe
and they, do not want Indiana llme-
etone. Therefore, 1 am going to stay
right hare In Georgia and do every
thing In my power to see that they
get what they want. If necessary l
will go to Washington and see those In
charge of the matter In person, but at
present I am In frequent communica
tion with the supervising architect,
and he says my request will be cer
tainly granted If It Is at nil possible.
And 1 am going to stay right on the
Job until wo get what we want.”
The more Ihe matter Is discussed
the more determined are Atlantu peo
ple to have the new-building construct
ed of Georgia marble. It Is pointed
out that with It built of marble. It
will be a monument that future gen
erations may luok upon and. too, that
it will be the finest public building In
the United Slates.
Resolutions expressing confidence In
Ihs certificates now being Issued by
tbs Atlanta Claarlng House Assocla
lion, and congratulating the cltlsens
of Atlanta that they have such an In
stltutlpn sufficiently strong to furnish
adequate relief from Ihe present finan
cial condition*, were adopted at i
meeting of the City Salesmen's Ano
elation held Raturdny morning.
The resolution* In full are as fol
low*:
Whereas, the banks composing the
Atlunta Clearing Iloine Association,
with combined resources of 120,000,400.
having Issued' 12,000,000 of clearing
house certificates protected by depoa
its of 12,000,000 of securities and sus
tained by the combined credit of all
the banks of the clearing house, whose
officers are our safest and most Ju
dlclous financiers, and
"Whereas, large money centers, such
as New York. Pittsburg and Chicago,
have refused to ship the currency to
other Southern cities, as well ns our
Atlanta banks,
'Therefore, be It resolved by the
members of the City Salesmen'* As
sociation that. In our opinion, we
should congratulate the farmers,
mechanics an-l laborer* as well a* the
business men of this section because
It Is possible that wo have aucii strong
Institutions such as those composing
the Atlanta Clearing House Associa
tion. who can Issue such certificates,
which are perfectly good und which
furnish a timely addition to the cur
rency. for the purpose of placing
ready cash In the hands of the busi
ness men whereby they can purchase
or make advances on cotton, also pay
the wage-earners promptly for his or
their services.
"Be II further resolved. Thut \v» ex
press to the people and to the Clear
ing House Association our confidence In
these certificates. We think It will Il
lustrate to Wall itreet that the South,
backed by her strong financial insti
tutions, cannot be Injured or Impeded
by strenuous financiers, nor bank-
pampered speculators, nor the timely
puncturing of Wall atreel fortunes
built on watered stock."

A Narrow Escape.

ago, when he ran a Jlmson bur into

wanted to amputate It, but I Would not
consent. I bought a box of Bucklen'n

By W. O. BUTLER.
Loganvllle, Ga., Nov. 2.—Last De
cember at Mllledgevllle when Blehop
Ward read out the assignment of the
pastors of the North Georgia Confer
ence for 1907 many changes were made
In the prominent pulpits and among the
presiding elders, The same bishop will
preside at the CartersvIUe Conference
this year, and of course he will let his
own work stand; hence not many
changes are expected for the coming
year.
When Bishop Ward sounds the gavel
that opens the forty-first session of
the North Georgia Conference at Car-
tersvllle on Wednesday, November 20,
he will have before him more than 200
men tvho are to be assigned to more
thnn 800 pulpits throughout the Con
ference.
In the Church South, the time limit
of a Methodist pastor or presiding elder
Is four years. He may be moved any
time from the end of his first year In a
pulpit, but when four years have been,
served then he has to go to another
field by the law of the church.
Not Many Changes Expected.
It Is a remarkable fact that in the
Conference that assembles In Novembsr
there are only three preachers out of
221 who, by law. are compelled to va-
ate their present pastorates nnil be
assigned to new ones. These are:
John Spier, at Greenville; Rev. R.
t'leckler, at Covington, and Rev.
W. Robison, at Cornelia. There are
only thirty preachers in the Conference
Who have served in their present
charges three years, and they are lia
ble to change, but not necessnrily.
There are 71 preachers who are on their
second year pastorates, anil they
be changed and may be. And there are
109 who are closing out their first year
In their present fields. It will be seen
that the one-year men exceed the two,
three and four-year men all together,
which also shows that the short pastor
ate is prevalent among the Methodists
of upper Georgia.
Presiding Elder Changes.
There are eleven presiding elders and
four of them have held pn for three
years, and hence may be returned an
other year. These four are: Rev. Dr.
