Longstreet, postmaster f Gainesville, will not be removed from by President Taft, notwithstand ing the fight made on her and the fact •hat her present commission expires on Saturday of this week. President Taft authorized the state n. nt in Washington, after a cabinet terday afternoon, that will not disturb Mrs. Longstreet, and she has been so informed. T he president, speaking through his postmaste. general, does not say that he will reappoint Mrs. Longstreet to a . term of four years. He merely savs he will not remove her for another. p mav he that she will be permitted t 0 serve under her present commission rntil the new administration takes hold in Washington. In that event, the question of her continuance in office wil l be squarely up to President Wood row Wilson. Henry S. Jackson, of Atlanta, has denied that he ever took active steps to have Mrs Longstreet removed, or that he requested the president to appoint some one else in her stead. He has ex posed the opinion, however, that she has no righteous claim on the office, and that, in view of her open' hostility to Taft and severe criticism of his nomi nation. site could ask for reappointment with very poor grace. If at all. Since the fight was started against her in Gainesville, Mrs. Longstreet has expressed the greatest confidence that President Taft would not remove her. It is now reported In Gainesville that Mrs. Longstreet will ask for a nomi nating primary, in which she may be a candidate for reappointment to a full • mid' President Wilson. Mi ilk .

Holman entertained a number of guests last night at a dinner at the Piedmont hotel, at which old “black mammies" were the waitresses and a real pickaninny played mascot. Mr. Holman was presented with a handsome loving cup by the directors. St. Elmo Massengale, one of the best known advertising men in the country, will address the convention tomorrow. There will be no official entertainment to morrow night. TEXAS YOUTH. STUDENT AT TECH. TYPHOID VICTIM Hundreds of miles from home and relatives, Sam Taylor, Jr., of Fort Worßi, Texas, died at a private sanita rium yesterday afternoon, after an ill ness of several weeks. He was a mem ber of the junior class at the Georgia School of Technology, where he was a leader. Mr, Taylor suffered a severe attack of typhoid fever last year while at tending the school, and had not entirely recovered when he returned this fall to resume his studies. He was stricken two weeks ago, and his mother was summoned, arriving several days be fore he died. The body will be taken to Fort Worth for funeral and inter ment.

By a Mere Man The boys corn show In the capi tol is most interesting and highly creditable. Every Georgian must be proud of the youngsters re sponsible for that splendid exhibit, and everybody who attends the show applauds and approves the same. Nevertheless and notwithstand ing, to my mind the girls pickles and preserves show is even better. It is more immediately interest ing, anyway. The pickles and preserves show comes upon the visitor as more or less of a surprise, for one thing. He isn’t looking for anything of the kind, for not much has been said about it in the newspapers. Be fore he knows it, he stumbles upon it —and then his “ohs,” ”ahs” and "urns,” bursting from him involun tarily and actually before he is well aware the why, bespeak his ready recognition of the beautiful and the genuinely good. Nothing Like It in the Stores. No fancy grocery store in Atlan ta today can, or does, show such fine specimens of the pickling and preserving art —an art that runs the scale from sour to sweet and back again—as this girls exhibit shows in the state capitol. It whets the appetite to stroll through it. The blackberry jam calls up vi sions of "the good old days,” when battercakes were the solids of which breakfasts inevitably were built, and jam the cement with which the glorious whole was held together until the initial act of as similation took place! Shall such eating be provided for mortals again in this world—shall the tender grace of the jam that is gone ever back to me? Like Grandma Used to Make. Mayhap, and the girls pickles and preserves show make that profound and lasting impression upon visi tors it surely should! Such pickles—like grandma used to make —you know! And every thing that can be canned, for that girls show has been canned —to- matoes, wax beans, com, butter beans, all sorts of berries, beets, even Irish potatoes. And pickles— cucumbers, artichokes, peaches, green tomatoes and cauliflower. As for mixed things—one may be puzzled to know what to call them, but one knows they are ticklish to the palate, all right!

LOUIS, Dec. 4.—That the pack ing companies were hard up in 1902 and were forced to organize the Na tional Packing Company in order to ne gotiate a loan was the principal point in the argument of Attorney Ralph Crews, of the packers’ counsel, in his reply to the charges raised by Assist ant Attorney General Revelle, of the state of Missouri. Crews, in his argument, declared that in 1902 Charles Armour, Edward Mor ris and Gustavus F. Swift, heads of the three packing companies whose Missouri owned concerns the state is seeking to oust, were hard up and were forced to negotiate a loan from Kuhn. Loeb & Co., to meet an obligation of $8,000,000 due the First National bank of New York city. The National Pack ing Company, which took in the St. Louis Dressed Beef and Provision Company and the Hammond Packing Company of St. Joseph, was organized by Armour, Morris and Swift as indi viduals, the stock being held by them and in their names. That the organ ization of the National Packing Com pany was necessary to secure the loan constituted the chief argument raised by Mr. Crews. LAD SHOT DEAD PLAYING HOLD-UPJOKE ON FRIEND OWENSBORO, KY., Dec. 4.—An at tempt to play a "highwayman joke” caused a tragedy last night. Clifford Burden, 23, was returning home when a figure stepped from behind a tree and commanded, "Hands up!” Instead Burden fired and killed Claude White, seventeen, a neighbor and friend. “THANK YOU” PEEVES JUDGE; STIFFENS FINE NEW YORK, Dec. 4. —When August Miller, chauffeur, said "Thank you” to Magistrate Krotel for fining him $lO for permitting his automobile to smoke, the judge grew peeved and fined him another $5. that would put to shame the ordi nary commercial articles. All the way from the pale and delicate un fermented juice of the scupper nong grape to the deep and royal purple of the Concord, the girls pickles and preserves show has in finite variety. Conquest Is Complete. My hat is off in admiration and great respect for those splendid girls! It may be that I, a mere man. have been reached via a familiar road—a sort of primrose path, as it were—whereon womankind for many moons has walked to con quer. It matters not —the con quest is complete and the victory abiding! The girls pickles and preserves show is a wonderful thing to see—a sight that turns pessimism into op timism and doubt into a hope that will not be denied. One will do well to take his lunch with him if he to linger long in the pickles and pre serves show. It is sure to arouse in the spectator a mighty and a powerful desire to ex>’ HIS BOY SHALL HAVE AS GOOD A COACH AS JOHN D.’S GRANDSON CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—When William Barry, of Winnetka, learned that John D. Rockefeller's grandson, Fowler Mc- Cormick, 15-year-old son of Harold F. McCormick, was being coached by Mor decal Brown in the art of shooting "ins” and "outs.” he announced that his son, William Burry, Jr., prospective Har vard student, would be put through his paces immediately, possibly as a pupil of Christy Mathewson, the New York Giants' star twirier. 4 “My goodness, you don’t mean to tell me that little can costs Fifty Cents?” “Makes about 100 cups? Well, that’s different.” “Let’s see, that’s about half a cent a cup.” “And you say it’s in powder, and a little over half a teaspoonful stirred in a cup of hot water makes Postuni instantly, and with a perfect fla vour?” “Well, that surely would be a comfort.” “Oh yes, some members in most every family have stomach or nervous trouble with coffee, and it’s fine to have a snappy beverage like Pos tum that don’t break down the nerves.” “I’m glad you brought to mv attention this INSTANT POSTUM Thanks.” BERGER AGENT OF PJSSIMISNI Socialist Sees Dire Conditions For Future, and End of Solid South. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Declaring that "if it had not been for Mr. Roose velt and his semi-Socialist platform, the Socialists would undoubtedly have polled 2,000,000 votes” in the last elec tion, instead of 1,000,000, Representative Victor Berger, the only Socialist in con gress, predicted today that the new Democratic administration under Pres ident-elect Wilson would fall to satisfy the people and that there would be a big industrial panic in the course of the next two years. “The Republican party was smashed, but the Democratic party was almost repudiated,” says Berger, analyzing the result of the election and pointing out that Wilson had 1.000.000 less votes than William J. Bryan polled four years ago. "The Democratic party, of course,” continued Berger, “will have all the Federal offices for four years and is, therefore, jubilant. But it will also have all the responsibilities and trou bles during the next four years that the Republican party has had in the past. “In other words, while the Republi cans were defeated because they were conservative, the Democrats will get theirs because they are reactionary. "And the poor Democratic party is controlled by a coalition of the South and Tammany. It can not help being reactionary. “An industrial panic is due in about a year. That will mean 'Democratic hard times' and ‘soup kitchens.’ This time the panic will strike’ the South, break up the solid South and give rise to riots and disturbances. “There is really nd difference between the Democratic and Republican parties as the parties now stand in congress. Formerly the pie counter formed the bridge that connected the factions of the Democratic party, but there Is not political pie enough to supply all the hungry Democratic statesmen.” HUMAN CUSHION SAVES MAN IN4O-FOOT FALL CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—A human cushion probably saved the life of John Pren dergast when he fell 40 feet down a caisson for a new bridge being con structed over the South Branch of the Chicago river at West Thirty-fifth street. John Galligher, working in the bottom of the caisson, was the cushion. Prendergast had just given a signal for the engineer to hoist when he was scooped into the caisson by a steam shovel. At the bottom he struck Gal ligher. Prendergast escaped with a broken leg. Galligher had the wind knocked out of him. WELL-TO DO FARMER SLAIN BY NEIGHBOR, WHO MAKES ESCAPE GUYTON, GA., Dec. 4.— W. A. Usher, a well-A-do farmer of the Okey dis trict of the northern part of Effingham county, is dead and Randolph Mercer, a neighbor, is a fugitive sought by the sheriff of this county on a warrant charging murder. Usher’s body lay by the roadside near Mercer’s home all night before his family and friends knew of the tragedy. In the meantime Mercer had fled and had a start of sev eral hours on the officers. Usher, Mercer and others of the Okey district were together in the afternoon at the home of Usher's son-in-law. The men, it is said, were drinking. Early in. the night Usher and Mercer left the house together, Usher taking Mercer home. What took place on the way Is not known. When they reached Mer ctr’s home he went in the house, se cured a shotgun, came out and fired the contents into Usher's bddy, killing him instantly. Leaving the body lying by the road, he fled. Both Usher and Mercer left large families. The tragedy has created con. slderable excitement in the Okey dis trict. ELEVEN PASSENGERS STEAMED TO DEATH IN DEBRIS OF R. R. WRECK ZANESVILLE, OHIO, Dec. 4.—• Three more victims died today as a result of last night’s wreck on the Pennsylvania lines ten miles east of here, near Dresden, Ohio. The list of dead now reaches eleven. The dead and Injured were brought here. A passenger engine, westbound, on the Zanesville division, plowed into the rear coach of a train bound for Zanes ville from the Cleveland division. The engine and car were telescoped. The entire length of the car was piled on top of the engine and extended from the pilot to the tender. Without a moment’s warning the crash came. Passengers were hurled from their seats, and every avenue of escape cut oft. They were literally cooked alive from escaping steam from the engine beneath them. ALIENISTSEXAMINE - CONDEMNED .SLAYER AUGUSTA. GA., Dec. 4.—Drs. J. W. Mobley, E. M. Greene and N. P. Wal ker, who were sent here from the state sanitarium to examine into the mental condition of J. Edward Brazell, who is under sentence of death for the mur der of Carrie Bell Duncan, have re turned to Milledgeville. They will make their report direct to Governor Brown. It is believed here that the physicians will report that Brazell is insane. BREAKSINTO A HOUSE AND RESCUES COUPLE CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—John Flynn and his wife, Margaret, were overcome by gas fumes in their home and were res cued by Policeman William Clifford, of the Stock Yards Station, who detected the odor of gas as he was passing and broke open the door. He dragged Flynn and his wife out to the open air when he found them unconscious on the kitchen floor. Flynn and his wife were revived by the pulmotor. 3
