TUFT TO DEPOSE LDNGSWS WIDOW Gainesville Postmaster, Bull Moose Worker, Will Be Suc ceeded by a Republican. There is a real fight on for the post mastersh'ip of Gainesville, ant; the prospect now is that Mrs. Helen Dortch Longstreet, the incumbent, will have to give way within the next few days to James B. Gaston, a Republican. Henry S. Jackson, of Atlanta, who speaks by the card for the president in these matters, is understood to be op posed to Mrs. Longstreet remaining in charge of the Gainesville office after her present commission runs out, and es it expires ,on December 7, those who keep tab on such things are looking for a change within the next two or three days. In ordinary circumstances, it seems that it is Mr. Taft's policy to rename postmasters whose commissions are to expire before the end his term, but the fight against Mrs. Longstreet has gone to the point where the office likely will be given to another, even if that other himself is removed within the next few months. It will be remembered that Mrs. Longstret t identified herself very em phatically with the Roosevelt move ment in Georgia. She occupied a seat on the stage at the Auditorium-Armory’ as an especial guest of honor at the big Bull Moose rally in Atlanta, and was one of Georgia’s accredited repre sentatives to the Roosevelt Chicago convention. Technically, the charge upon which Airs. Longstreet is to be put out is the ancient and always handy “pernicious political activity in office.” She holds 1 her present commission over President Roos. volt’s signature. James B. Gaston, who is slated for , Mis, Longstreet’s position, is a Repub lican and is extremely popular in Hall county and northeast Georgia. He will be acceptable to Gainesville, so it is said, so tlie entire extent that any other Republican would. It is not 1 thought that be will be permitted to 1 hold the office a full term, however. The fight . against Mrs. Longstreet j In Gainesville was precipitated a few nights ago, when H. 11. Dean, at a din ner to Congressman Hobson in Gaines ville, emphatically protested against < her reappointment to office, and de- ] flared that -.:■■ was not entitled to It, either from the standpoint of Mr. Taft or Mr. Wilson. He called then and there for a change, and was altogether out- < spoken in his remarks. c His speech caused a genuine sensa tion, and next day Mrs. Longstreet re- . ■ lie, to it bitterly in placards distrib uted all over the city of Gainesville. 1 Since then, moreover, some exceed ngly peppery correspondence is said to f ..ive passed between th, postmaster md Mr. Dean. Mr. Dean, it will be . recalled, was one or Georgia’s dele- ' ;..tee-at-I;:rg<- to the Democratic na '' ma! convention in Baltimore, anil was v Georgia’s member of the platform emu- j .iiittcc. ■. ; s ECZEMA; ■ Also called Tetter, Salt Rheum, Pruritus, M Ik-Crust.

Dis is smoke. Wait till you gets in de street and you'll find more of it.” The visitors seized their grips, stuck close behind a man with a torch, and made their way into what seemed a great cave filled with an opaque, mouse-colored substance in which even arc lights made but a faint, rosy spot. “What’s this?” asked the leader. “This is outdoors in Atlanta," replied the guide. "What a town for a gas company!” exclaimed the head of the party, in ec stacy. "Twenty-four hours consump tion a day. No wonder we’re holding the exposition hero. Pittsburg has noth ing on this.” “Well, are you game? ’ asked another. "Let’s all go exploring in darkest At lanta." Punching Holes in the Gloom. They stood on the sidewalk for a while, watching the pedestrians picking their way along the curb, bumping into each other in the gray cloud, hesitating to cross the street. Trolley cars crept past, clanging their - gongs furiously. Their headlights were turned on in full power, though it was past 8 o’clock. Motor car drivers tried vainly to make their acetylene lights shoot holes in the gloom, but even these searchlights could not cut the smoke. There was an English delegate in the party, and he was the only happy man in the bunch “It’s like dear old Lunnon!” he ex claimed delightedly. "Yet it’s different. It’s much thicker, and tastes far worse. A wa fog is very pleasant, you know. This tastes like the cigar which went out yesterday and was lighted again to day.” “What is it—fog or smoke?" asked the man from Kansas City. "Let's call up the weather expert." “It is smoke—all smoke," said the forecaster. “It is worse than usual to day. because then is no wind to blow it away." "Then if Atlanta had no wind for a week, a citizen would not be able to leave his door at high noon, with the sun shining bright, and find his way to the next corner,” said a scientific mem ber of the parti. “If there were no wind, the whole city would first be shrouded in this veil of smoke, it would grow thicker and thicker, the air would soon be so tilled with poisonous gases that no human valid breathe, and in a few more horn - Atlanta would be a city , of the dead. Atlanta seems to be at ' the mercy of the winds." ; Groping in the Shadows. 1 The party tried to mak> its way up , Peachtree street to a hotel. It was dis- , llcult going, in the gray shadow. It < was like walking in the wake of a for- J est fire, for the smoke wrapped them in . its embrace, choked their lungs, filled , their eyes. Their hands and faces were grimy with soot. Their collars, donned ' a. half hour before in the Pullman, ’ looked as thou sh towaways in th< coal ! bunkers had worn them. At last, by feeling their nay along 1 tht buildings, inquiring of the dimly . utlmec forms which passed with the , confidence which comes from familiar- i ity, the visitors reached their hotel.

"It’s trying to,” explained the Atlan tan who had welcomed them. “We have a smoke commission, with’power to or der arrests for violations of the ordi nance.” “There ought to be a half-million in fines stacked up after a day like this,” said the visitor. “I suppose your police force is using extra patrol wagons to take offenders to the station today. There must be at least a thousand vio lations this morning. How many ar rests do you suppose they iiave made?” “U-tt-m, well. You see—’’ began the Atlantan “The inspector did have an arrest or two made, but the smoke com missioners didn’t like it. You see. it is likely to injure business. And then there’s politics. It's mighty hard to go to fining good citizens and tax payers, you see.” “Then what does Atlanta propose to do about it?” demanded the head of the visitors. “Come out and look at our skyscrap ers,” returned the Atlantan. “They are the finest in the South.” But even this was denied the strang ers. They couldn’t see higher than the second floor. AGED UNION POINT HAN DEAD. GREENSBORO, GA., Nov. 30. Thomas Googer, an aged citizen of Union Point, died late yesterday after noon.
