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 ri callial. was one of Georgia’s dele- * '.it's-; t-large to the Democratic na nal convention in Baltimore, and was i • . orgia’s member of the platform com- ECZEMA Also ca lled Tetter Salt Rheum, Pruritus.

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 I outlined forms which passed with the | confidence which comes from familiar- | ity, the visitors reached their hotel.

"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.
