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.

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. are taking the rejection of i 35 to 75 c Shadow Laces at 19 Miss Elkins’ Dog Lost; ‘Billy’ Hitt Seeks It Didn’t think we could do it!
