Advices From Washington In

President Announces Ap
pointments For District.
Persistent rumor* were In circula
tion In Atlanta Thursday to the effect
that Churchill P. Ooree would be ap
pointed United States attorney for the
northern district of Georgia, succeed
ing F. Carter Tate.
Late Thursday afternoon It was stat
ed on good authority that news had
been received at the Federal building
of Goree's actual appointment.
Mr. Goree has been In the race since
Its start, but little has been mentioned
of his chances, his campaign having
been conducted quietly.
Several days ago Henry Lincoln
Johnson, a negro politician, said to be
a power with the administration, left
for Washington with the avowed In
tention. It I* understood, of effecting
the appointment of a Republican to
the district attorneyship, and It was
stated to a Georgian representative
that he had wired to a friend In At
lanta that Mr. Goree would get the
appointment.
Will Be Named 8oon.
A prominent Republican, who did not
wish his name to be published, stated
to a Georgian representative that he
did not think the district attorney
would be appointed until the comple
tion of the examination of Mr. Tate's
nlllce. which has been going on for the
past two months by Special Examiner
W, H. Ramsey. In regard to the ex
amination, The Georgian's Informant
said that he understood It would be
completed and that the appointment
would be made In the near future.
It was also stated that President
Taft would keep his promise and re
move colored officeholder* In the South
and that Collector of Internnl Revenue
Rucker would be succeeded by a white
Republican.

$200,000 Is Deposited by
Company, Whose Organiza
tion Georgian Report
ed Exclusively.
The final step. In the organization
of the American Sumatra Tobacco
Company were completed Wednesday
night and work will be started at once
by the company.
As was reported exclusively In The
Georgian Wednesday, the American
Sumatra Tobacco Company, which has
been recently organized, has obtained
control of 35.000 acrOs of the best to
bacco land In the country. In Decatur
county. Georgia, and Gadsden county,
Florida, and will at onco begin opera
tions.
At a meeting of the Incorporator*
held Wednesday night at the office of
Anderson, Felder, Rountree A Wilson,
It was decided to open at once an office
In Atlanta and Quincy, Fla., and from
these two offices the work will be di
rected. Two hundred thousand dollara
has been placed to the credit of the
company In a local bank and the whole
of this will be expended In the next
month making lmprovementa and get
ting the company In a working condi
tion.
The men Interested In the company
left Thursday morning for New York.
Chicago and Quincy. A. Cohn, the
president, goes directly to New York,
where he will take actlvo charge of the
company.
It was stated Thursday morning that
of all the tobacco grower* In Georgia
and northwest Florida only three would
not enter into the merger. These are
the Southern Sumatra Tobacco Com
pany, which has considerable land In
Decatur county: R. Getslaf A Co., and
the Owl Commercial Company.
According to one of the officers of
the American Sumatra Tobacco Com
pany, the reason that the three compa
nies refused to enter the new concern
was that they were subsidiary compa
nies of large tobacco Interests who uied
their own products for manufacturing
cigars.
For some time. It Is said, the to
bacco growers of south Georgia have
been at a disadvantage from the fact
that the competition was so great
among them. The price of tobacco
varied and in order to stop the cutting
of prices snd to equalize the business,
the new company was formed.
“The Boy Preacher” Is Fired
From Atlanta Bible School
Thursday Morning.
WOULD HAVE RECEIVED
DIPLOMA THIS YEAR
His Love Affair Caused His
Suspension Last Tuesday
For Six Months—Ex
pulsion Follows.
The aequel to the sensational fight
Wednesday between Rev. Dr. Rolfe
Hunt, president of the Atlanta Bible
school, and Omfi S. Tallent, of Missouri,
known In that state as “The Boy
Preacher," which grew out of the love
affair of the latter, came Thursday
morning when Mr. Tallent was sum
marily expelled from the Bible school
by the faculty. The young student was
a-senior In the school and would have
graduated this year.
Mr. Tallent was already under a six
months' suspension, having been tried
before the faculty and given this pen
alty Tuesday on charges growing out
of his attentions to Miss Fern Ham-
brie, of Texas, a pretty sixteen-year-
old Bible student to whom “The Boy
Preacher" has for the past three
months been engaged to be married.
When the young minister was later
Informed by a Georgian reporter of his
expulsion, the first news he had re
ceived of the faculty’s action, he stat
ed that he would at once call for an
official Investigation In order that the
whole trouble may be thoroughly sifted.
He Wants Investigation.
"It Is my purpose to formally request
Dr Hunt for an Investigation." said
the* student. "I will ask him to appoint
two members of a committee, I will
appoint two others, and then request
these four to appoint a fifth, the duty
of this committee being to hear the
evidence and formulate a verdict as to
who Is right In this matter. I Intend
to seek vindication. I feel that I have
not been treated right In being thus
unceremoniously kicked out of the
Bible school. They did It, however,
simply because the faculty Is aware
that I know things."
And then he added:
"As to Miss Fern Hambric and the
bringing of her namo Into this affair, I
want to say this. I am engaged to be
married to Miss Hambric, I love her
devotedly and there Is nothing I would
not do for her. I feel that I have a
perfect right to pay her attention."
Asked If this sudden and startling
turn to his romance would hasten his
wedding to Miss Hambric, the young

An animated denunciation of the fer
tilizer trust and a complete reform of
the public school system of Georgia
were the features of the closing session
of the convention of the Farmers union
held Wednesday afternoon in the hall
of the house of representatives. A
boycott of trust dealers waa advocated.
Flrey speeches, frequently Interject
ed by storms of applause, weje made
by many of the delegates and.the ar
raignment and accusations against the
fertilizer combine as a menace to suc
cessful agricultural pursuits were di
rect and to the point.
The discussion on fertilizers arose
over the report of the fertiliser com
mittee appointed Tuesday at the open
ing of the convention. The speech
making Innted for more than two hours
and waa animated throughout.
Won’t Talk Much.
In pursuance of the union's policies
the individual members were more or
less reticent In publicly discussing their
plans to bring the so-called trust to
terms. However, It can be stated on
authentic Information that a conflict Is
on and that tho organization will mnko
a hard fight ,for lowar prices.
It was reported hy the fertilizer com
mittee thnt the Union Phosphate Com
pany, owned by the Farmers union,
waa * In splendid condition financially
and hnd sold more material than It had
bought. The committee recommended
that orders for fertilizers to be used In
1911 be sent in not later than July I.
1910. so that they may be filled without
trouble.
An effort will be made to aid farmers
and members who can not buy of the
union to get from other dealers their
materials at or near the sam® prices
paid the union's company.
The following resolution on the
school system was Introduced by R. F.
Duckworth, editor of The Farmers

By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.
Washington, Fob. 24.—Slowly but
surely the untiring advocacy of an
argument for an ample navy and a
merchant marine Is having Its effect
upon the public opinion and thru pub
lic opinion on congress. It Is many a
year since the opposition to a naval
bill has resulted In an Increase rather
than a decrease of the appropriation,
but this now seems to be the probable
result of the agitation against Secre
tary Meyer's construction program.
The two battleships, two colliers and a
number of submarines make up a
much more healthful and American bill
than had been expected.
Great causes are learning that the
best way to reach congressmen Is thru
the men that send them here. In this
connection'It seems proper to commend
an all-wise and honest Investigation
Into the great postal deficit In our
government. Before the time comes
when we may face an appropriation
for an Increase In postage. It Is well
to see If Improved management of the
postal service can not reduce tills def
icit to a surplus. Victor Murdock
made an able and vigorous contribu
tion to the discussion of tho matter
In the house Wednesday. He present
ed facts to show, as one Item of had
management, that the government pays
the railroads three times as much us
they do to the express companies for
a similar service,
Mr. Murdock argued that the time
had come for a complete reorganiza
tion of th* entire postofllce system
and there was much evidence In tho
house of a general agreement with this
radical position. Public opinion
throughout the country Is generally
agreed that few business concerns aro
run on a system so Inadequate ^nd un
profitable. Mr Murdock’s speech Is
worthy of wide circulation.
Percy Admired by Roosevelt,
Colonel Leroy Percy, who Is on Ills
way from Mississippi to assume the
seat In the United States senate to
which Vaitlaman aspired, and which
Senator Gordon now occupies ad In
terim, is likely to be a notable acces
sion to that body. He Is the Mlsstsslp-
plan whom Mr. Roosevelt described as
the finest man he had met In the South.
He Is n scholar, a thinker and a man
of affairs, a mighty hunter and a dead
game sport.
If Roosevelt should by chance come
back to the other end of the avenue.
It I* most probable that Leroy Percy,
of Mississippi, would at least be ns
close to him as any Southern senator.
