TAFT TO DEPOSE
LONGSTREET'S
WIDOW
Gainesville Postmaster. Bull
Moose Worker, Will Be Suc
ceeded by a Republican.
Tiv.re is a real fight on for the post
imistcrship of Gainesville, and the
prospect now is that Mrs. Helen Dortch
Longstreet, the incumbent, will have to
jflx e way within the next few days to
James B. Gaston, a Republican.
Henry S. Jackson. o£ 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 oflice after
her present commission runs out, and
as 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
tight against Mrs. Longstreet has gone
to the point where tne 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.
Longstreet 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 a.t 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
Mr-. Longstreet is to he put out. is the
ancient and always handy "pernicious
political activity in office." She holds
her present commission over President
f!o< sevelt’s signature.
James B, Gaston, who is slated for
ells. Longstreet’s position, is a Repub
lic. m and is extremely popular in Hall
county and northeast Georgia. He will
be acceptable to Gainesville, so it is
said, to the entire extent that any
otiiei Republican would. It is not
’bought that ho will be permitted to
bold the office a, full term, however.
Th> fight against Mrs. Longstreet
n Gainesville was precipitated a few
night- ago. when H. IL Dean, at a din
ner to Congressman Hobson In Gaines
■x ill.?, emphatically protested against
Iter reappointment to office, and de
clared that she was not entitled to It,
cither 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
His speech caused a genuine sensa
tion. and next day Mrs. Longstreet re
plied to it bitterly in placards distrib
u’< •’ all ov.-r the city of Gainesville.
Since then, moreover, some exceed
ingly peppery correspondence is said to
have passed between the postmaster
ami ,\ir Dean. Mr. Dean. it. will be

Exploring Smoke-Befogged City by Torchlight
IN DARKEST ATLANTA
I
Eleven delegates to next week’s gas I
convention ste.pped out of their Pull
mans at the station early today and I
turned savagely to

morning, showing a
part of the Great
Black Way.
the porter.
T h o u gin you
said we got in at
8 a. m. ?” they pro
tested. "Why are
you dumping us
out at midnight?"
"This ain’t mid
night, boss,” re
turned the porter,
a shadow seen
dimly under the
arc ■ lights’ glare
"It's after break
fast time. 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 j
opaque, mouse-colored substance in I
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 here. 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 sea fog is very pleasant, you know.
This tastes like the cigar which wont
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 there Is no wind to blow
I It away.”
“Then if Atlanta had no wind for a
- week, a citizen would not be able to
I leave his door at high noon, with the
! sun shining bright, and find his way to
I the next corner,” said a scientific mem
ber of the party. “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
j soon be so tilled with poisonous gases
that no human could breathe, and In a
few more hours Atlanta would be a city
of the dead. Atlanta seems to be at j
the mercy' of the winds.” .
Groping In the Shadows.
The party' tried to make its way up J
Peachtree street to a hotel, it was dis- ,
i flcult going, in the gray shadow. It <
was like walking in the wake of a for- ‘
i <st tire, for the smoke wrapped them in .
i its embrace. choked their lungs, filled (
i their eyes. Their hands and faces were
■ grimy with soot. Their collars, donned 1
a half hour before in the Pullman, 1
. looked as though stowaways In the coal f
I bunkers had worn them.
At last, by feeling their way along <
; the buildings, inquiring of the dimly 1

confidence which comes from familiar- |

Even here the lobby was filled with th<> 1

bacco, there was the stench of soft coal.
Can’t See Skyscrapers.
“Why doesn’t Atlanta do away with
this smoke?” demanded the visitors in
surprise.
"It’s trying to,” explained the Atlan
tan who had welcomed them. ”VVe 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. ”1 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 have made?"
"U-u-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 he.ad 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.
