TOKIO. May 8.—The Yorozu Chohe
publishes an appeal to the Christian
Japanese and the Christians of Amer
ica, in which it says:
'It may he a small thing to disin
herit the Japanese in California, yM
it is of importance in that it causes
a friendly nation to distrust America.
The land law may succeed In erad
icating the so-called evils of Orienta'
immigration, yet it contains germ of
greater troubles. Better put legality
aove profit and love above legality.
Such legality and such legislation are
an offense against the law of love,
wherefore the Japanese are rather
more sorrowful than indignant.”
All our buyers back from New York. Because of the unsettled money
ket and impending tariff changes, they were able to pick up much desira-
merchandise underprice. We are now distributing these “plums.” Some

Atlantan Is Credited With Land

for Mrs. H. W. J. Ham.
One of our best makers sends on his season’s surplus of fine siinmici
dresses. These are the distinctive models that you won’t find everywhere ex
elusive styles, which are chiefly one of a kind. Variously in ratine, crepe and
linens; a few colors, but chiefly white.
The styles and materials are highly desirable for summer wear. There
will be a lively skirmish to choose at these little prices.

We also include a few fine drosses from our own stock, the ones and twos of a kind. Re-
The nomination of Mrs. H. W. J.
Ham to be postmaster at Gainesville
and the consequent turning down of
Mrs. Helen D. Dongstreet and Editor
A. S. Hardy have aroused the most
intense interest in Georgia, and is be
ing widely discussed to-day.
The popular impression was that
Mrs. Longstreet likely would succeed
herself, and if she did not, the plum
would go to t Mr. Hardy, who had the
indorsement of Congressman Bell of
the Gainesville district.
Mrs. Ham’s name never had been
mentioned publicly in connection with |
the Gainesville postoffiee, and her!
nomination was a complete surprise !
The biggest surprise of all in this j
presidential act, however, was the re- ;
port given out from the Postotflce j
Department to the effect that Mrs.
Longstreet’s administration of the
Gainesville postoffiee had been found
unsatisfactory and inefficient.
Report Called an Excuse.
Her friends already are saying
there is no sincerity in that report,
but that it was made merely to con
form with previous announcements
from the White House to the effect
that postmasters would not be ro-
meved in any event, save whore
charges of inefficiency were made and
sustained.
Primary responsibility for the
Presidential rejection of both Mrs.
Dongstreet and Mr. Hardy is laid
at the door of E. T. Brown, of At
lanta. who bitterly opposed Mr.
Hardy and more or less passively
opposed Mrs. Dongstreet. Mr. Brow’ll
is a cousin of Mrs. Wilson and a
frequent visitor at the White House.
He is reported to be closer to the |
President than any other Georgian. .
His opposition to Mr. Hardy is
based on partisan grounds, arising i
out of Mr. Hardy’s support of Mr. ;
Underwood in the Georgia primary,
and his opposition to Mrs. Hong- i
street upon the milder partisan ,
grounds that she was a Roosevelt j
appointee and presumably more of j
a Republican than Democrat. v
Senator Smith Hesitates.
The nomination of Mrs. Ham was
announced Wednesday afternoon, j
notwithstanding the fact that j
Dongrossman Bell had an engage
ment with the President to-day to
talk the Gainesville situation over.
Mr. Bell conferred, more or less in
dignantly, so it is reported, with
Senator Hoke Smith last night, as
to the unexpected nomination of
Mrs. Ham. The Senator expressed
great surprise that the matter had
developed along the line indicated,
but said he w’ould hesitate to oppose
the nomination when it came up for
confirmation.
The flat rejection of Congressman
Bell’s recommendation for the post-
mastership in his home town has
caused a tremendous flutter in Con
gressional circles, and has aroused j
great interest in Georgia. For time 1
immemorial, it has been customary
for Congressmen to name, without ;
dispute, their home postmasters. If
the President is going to disregard |
this custom, what influence will a |
Congressman have on any appoint- j
ments within his district? That is j
the big question Representatives are 1
asking themselves to-day, and which
thousands of Georgians are pausing,
to hear answered.

Miss Elkins’ Dog Lost;
‘Billy’ Hitt Seeks It
Didn’t think we could do it!
Last week’s 12c lace sale seemed the top notch of endeavor. But here is a
lace bargain equally good—-for many people even better.
“Aren’t we over enthusiastic?”
Not a bit of it. The laces are in the window to-day to prove all we say of
them.
Moreover, women who have seen the window display have been trooping in
all day trying to buy the laces at once—to have them sent out of town—to
have them reserved.
But, NO! Not an inch of lace will be sold before to-morrow at 9
a. m.
All shadow laces in cream, white and ecru. Edges and insertions to match. Variously
5 to 12 inches wide. (Thi^k of 12-inch shadow laces for 19c.) Not a yard worth less than
25c; some worth 75c; the average price being easily 50c. Choice, 19c.
