sGOSSIP OF;
STATESMEN AND- POLITICIANS
Secretary Charlie Korthen Is not a
heartless man. He reels for his fel
low man. He can even do noble and
unselfish things.
For some days prior to last Wednes
day the big bottle of Llthla water uc-
eustomed to stand on Ills desk to tht
left of the president was missing.
Members floated up and after trying
the faucet and Ilndlng a drouth, went
■way Brick Miller threatened to In
troduce a resolution to require the sec
retary to keep the necessary Irrigating
substance on hand.
Thursday morning the bottle, filled
to the bursting point with cool, limpid
Llthla aqua. Invited the thirsty. By
way of parenthesis it Is stated that the
•cue to the members was held Wednes
day afternoon. And the crowd about
that fount of coolness all during the
session Thursday was about like a
watermelon cutting In Darktown. And
(Secretary Northen smiled benlgnantly
upon them, nnd now and then took n
refreshing alp himself.
8enator McHenry, with accustomed
eloquence and vehemence, was making
the sAmte rafters ring In advocating
his Western and Atlantic lease. The
senate hung breathless on his every
utterance.
Then one of the porters ripped Ihe
lop off a crate of luscious peaches from
the experiment station. Tho ubiqui
tous pages moved on the feast as a
unit. Some senator way to the rear
caught sight of a big red-cheeked
[teach half burled in the eager mouth
of a amall boy.
■ Indian peaches, by gosh.” he ejacu
lated and made ft rush. Others saw
the precipitate frontal attack, and
watched curiously for the cause. They
■aw, hesitated and fell. In a moment
half the senate membership had moved
to get some of the loot. In a few
minutes more everybody was com
placently munching fruit.
After that. Senator McHenry's elo
quence fell on deaf ears.
The vote on the Williams bill to elect
the railroad commissioners by the peo
ple was on.
The author's name la the last on the
roll call. Ho had spoken for the meas
ure, fought for It, and asserted that It
"was the crowning glory of his political
career.” The call* of senators on the
passage of the bill progressed to
''Senator Williams.”
No response.
"Senator Williams,” In a tone heard
in the corridors..
Deep silence answered.
' Senator William*.” rumbled th# call.
Then Williams came out of his rev-
■'Bo It enacted that from and after
this date that all Methodist preachers
be fleeted by the 'dear people’ without
reference to past or present or future
political affiliations.”
Somebody facetiously drafted the
above the other day. and said he
thought U a good Idea for tho senate
to puss It since the demand was ti
elect everything and body by the peo
pie.
Senator Copelan aaya that the 'cuo
Wednesday didn't fenze him. but It had
a bad effect on his watch. He came
the senate chamber at ten minutes
eleven Thursday morning, and was sur
prised to see everybody down to work.
“What you fellows meeting before
o’clock for?” ho asked.
"Copelan. Fm surprised at you.” said
Senator Wheatley. "Our regular hour
for meeting Is 10 o’clock and It la now
near ll. Ain't you over that barbecue
yet?”
‘‘It'a all the fault of my watch. S
played me a mean trick at an Inop.
portune moment."
The senate Isn't talking any, but
neverthsless It Isn't passing any house
bills except local measures, gad mast
of the senators have a personal Inter
est In such bills. And the lid's going
to stay down until the house gets good
and passes some eenate measures, they
assert
of Berrien, made
Mr. Knlrhf,
speech Friday.
Mr. Smith, of Greene, didn’t
Possibly by Monday the members of
the house and aenate will get over the
effects of the barbecue.
As a presiding officer Mr. Butts, of
Glynn Is a howling success. It was ru
mored around the house Friday that
the gentleman from Brunswick had
been practicing for tho job and had
asked the speaker to give him one
chance before the session was over.
The house wouldn't pass the anti-
cutsing bill.
It Is rumored that the military com
mittee of the senate has a aub-rosa
chapter In the house.
Mr. Bose, of Upson, has a son In the
houee os a page. He lost the little fel
low at tho barbecue the other day. but
then the gentleman from Upson says
he was trying to keep up with Madison
Bell, and those who were with him.

LICENSE INSPECTORS
ARE AFTER SOLICITORS
By W. O. CLEMENT.
8peclal to The Georgian.
Romo, Oa., Aug. 4.—As a sequel
the report of the expert auditors, dis
closing the alleged shortage of the late
Halsted Smith, former city clerk, ad
ditional charges are made against W.
8. Simmons, deputy marshal, and C.
King, city sexton, who held office dur
ing Smith’s administration, alleging
that they were also short In their ac
counts.
Since the publication of his alleged
shortage, Simmons is said to havo
cleared himself by producing receipts
of moneys paid to Smith, which
amounts were charged to him by the
auditor's report.
Always Took Vouchors.
In speaking of the charges, Simmons
said:
'1 never, all during my term of of- %
flee as deputy marshal, paid a cent Into*
the clerk’s office without taking a
voucher for It, and as for jthe charges
fla to my shortage, I have receipts
which speak for themselves.”
King Csn Account for All.
Former City Sexton King, In speak
ing of the charges against him, said:
'As to the report of my alleged
shortage, I can account for every cent
received by me and paid over to tho
city clerk during my term of office.
As to the fees I am reported to have
received for the salo of lots and the
digging of graves and having not made
proper returns, I will be able to dis
prove. It has been the custom for ne
groes to dig their own graves, at least.
It Was during my term of office. The
records show that during my adminis
tration there were 206 lots sold to ne
groes at $4.10 per lot. In order to
obtain a deed for them the money had
to first be paid to the city clerk/’
Auditor's Report.
In A. J. Haltlwanger’8 report to tho
mayor and city council he says,' in
reference to the books In the clerk’s
office:
“We have had to deal with such ma
terial ns we could gather. In the
clerk’s offico there Is no such entry
as a collection of taxes not on digest.
Every one familiar with the collection
of taxes known that there Is quite a
volume of money collected In this way.
This entire sum 1« a total loss to the
city. Had the stubs been obtainable
every dollar could have been easily
traced. Back of this period (1894)
there are not only no stubs, receipt*
and checks, but there are no digests.
The Crude records attempted to be kept
nre not h perfect chain, many of the
books being missing.”
Mr. flnltlwanger supplement* his re
port with tho statement that he can
prove every dollar of the shortage
named In his report.
Bond Is Worthless.
As several of the original bondsmen
of the late Halsted Smith are either
dead or havo loft the .state, and «n the
latter bond given by the United State*
Fidelity and Guaranty Company Is so
hedged about with conditions, compe
tent legal advisers of the city maintain
that there can be no recovery from
this surety.
This being true, It means that the
total peculsted sum shown by the aud
itor’s report of $34,686.60 Is a total
loss to the city, unless the municipal
corporation can legally recover the
amount of the valuation of the Smith
estate. What the value of this estate
Is remains a problem, but It is supposed
to be far below tbe amount of the al
leged shortage.
Insuranos Money Held.
The country residence of the late
Halsted Smith was destroyed by fire
three weeks ago, which was Insured
for $4,860. Tho executors ore trying
to collect this Insurance, but ths city
ask* the court to restrain them from
doing so, which petition has been tem
porarily granted. If the city can col
lect this Insurance It will be that much
toward the recovery on the shortage.
Tho city further alleges in its pe
tition for Injunction that a large por
tion of the alleged shortage was used
to pay premiums upon the Insurance
on the life of tho late Halsted Smith,
and that In view of this fact, the city
Is entitled to recover this insurance.
