The property owner, who .old the ■Ite ot the new postoffice to the govern ment will next week be notified vacate, and on October 15 the repre •entntlve* of tile .up.rvl.lng architect': office wilt take charge of the lot Thla will be the flrat step looking to the end of Atlanta'a long and atrenuous light, for adequate petal facllltlea, end will be a welcome^nove to both the of. flclala of the'local poatofflee and to the buslne*. men of Atlanta. Aw outlined by Supervi.lng Architect J. Knox Taylor during hla recent vlalt to Atlanta, rhe building wilt be 190 feet aquare, and will be four rtorles ii height, the entire flrat floor being oc cupled by the poatoffice, thua giving almost twice.the preaent accommoda tions. In the main work room there will be 30,000 square feet of available working spare. The most surprising statement which Mr. Taylor made during hl» recent vlalt was that at thh preaent rate of Increase of postal receipts of Atlanta It would probably be necessary to abandon this building, so far as the postoffice depart ment Is concerned, within the next live or six years, and erect another and more commodious structure, covering at least an entire block and situated romewhere near the Terminal Station The policy has been adopted by the government that In the future one story postoffice. will be built, which shall be plain but utilitarian structures of brick and steel, and the building to be put up In Atlanta will prob ably be the last postoffice of classical design to be constructed by the govern ment. As soon as the supervising architect can get all the working plane In readi ngs he will call for bids for the entire structure and the local officials are hopeful of seeing the contractors take charge not later than January 1, In which case they hope to be In their new quarters by the spring at 1909. That looks like a long way off, but the relief wit, be nonethelesa welcome when It comes. NEGRO LIFTED PURSE AND THEN 'FESSED UP Mr*. A. 8.

C. CRENSHA W Candidate For Railroad Commission Says Convention Had No Right to De clare the Nominee. The following card ha* been received from Hon. T. C. Crenahaw, candidate for railroad commissioner: To the Editor of The Georgian: In the I,«ue of The Journal of the 6th Inat. that paper aaya: "Thomas C. C'renahatv, of Cherokee county, a form er railroad cominlaaloner, has Inde pendently announced hla candidacy agalnat 8. Q. McLendon, the nominee of the atate Democratic party.” All I aak of the preaa of the atate la fair treatment. It la unfair to aay 1 am an Independent candidate for rail road cominlaaloner. I am ready and willing at any time to make an oath that I never In my whole life voted agalnat the nomlneea of the Democratic >arty, and that I never dodged a vote. My party haa several tlmea put me In position where I had to vote against my convictions, but I took my medicine, marched to the polls and voted for the Democratic nominee without making a face. I now beg to aak the question: Can all of those who are throwing atones at me, and branding me an In dependent eandldate for railroad com missioner, hold up their right hand and take the same oath? Please do me the justice to read my announcement, over my own signa ture, and gee If I did not aay I was a Democratic candidate for railroad com missioner. I have nowhere said I was an Independent candidate, and existing conditions do not justify my being branded as such. I have served as alderman and a* mayor of I-aGrange, Ga., two terms as a member, of the legislature from Troup county, collector of Internal rev enue for the district of Georgia, general agent of the Central railroad and rail road commissioner. My records In each of these positions are legitimate subjects of criticism, and am ready to face them when the lime light la turned on me. I ask, however, to he treated fairly and not misrepre sented. I hold—and the facta will sus tain me—that the Macon convention exceeded Ita authority when It under took to nominate a candidate for rail road commissioner. The state Democratic executive com mlttee met and provided for the nomi nation of candidates for United States senator, governor, secretary of state, treasurer, comptroller general, commis sioner of agriculture, commissioner of education, prison commissioner, jus tices of the supreme court, judges of the superior court and solicitor general In the circuits where there were vacan eles, by primary election, to be held on August 22, 1906. ' Although the law, at ftie time of the primary election, on August 22, required a railroad commissioner to be elected at the general election In October thereafter, no provision was made for the people to express their choice for a railroad commissioner, and they did not so express themselves. Every per son, therefore, can vote aa he pleases In the October election In the selection of a railroad commissioner. All that the Macon convention could have done within the powers delegated to It by the people was to recommend the elec tlon of Mr. McLendon, which they did not do, but nominated’ him straight out as a candidate for railroad com missioner. 1 contend that those voting In the primary election on August 22, 1906, are not bound by the action of the Macon convention, when It usurped the power It did by nominating a can didate for railroad commlaaioner, when the selection of a candidate for rail road commissioner was not an Issue In the primary election, at the time, the delegates were selected. It appears that a candidate for railroad commis sioner was agreed on In Atlanta, In advance of the meeting of the Macon convention and afterwards nominated by the Macon convention. I believe the people of Georgia will, at the ballot box In October next, sustain me In my contention, which Is that the delegates to the Macon convention only had the authority to recommend the election candidate for railroad commis sioner, but had no authority to nomi nate one, and thereby bind the Demo cratic party by such nomination. Very respectfully. T. C. CRENSHAW. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 7. KING OF HOTEL DEAD BE A TS SA YS THAT HE IS A SUICIDE New York, Sept. 7.—Although a man frequently signing himself John T. Hardin, and known aa the "King of Graft," otherwise the “prince of hotel beats," announced his suicide, hotel keepers In this city who were vlctlm- (1 by him, today do not believe that he Is dead. Despite the doubt, how ever, three hotels have written In red Ink across his accounts, "Committed suicide." The National Hotel Keepers' Asso ciation has received from him a vale dictory address, dated Detroit, and written on the letter paper of the Wayne hotel, of that city. It glvea the list of his victims, and according to his record, he defrauded thirty-two Innkeepers anil private citizens In all parta of the United States during the month of August. He asked that his real name be kept secret to save his wife and mother embarroasment. REBELS IN CUBA MAY INSIST ON He Fears That Resignation Would Bring Reign of Anarcliv. By MANUEL CALVO. 8jM»clal Cable—'Copyright. Havana, Cuba, Sept. 7.—Word confidently expected from Pino Guerra today that he haa joined Asbert in Ha vana and Guzman in Santa Clara in agreeing to permit General Menocol an opportunity to bring about peace, by agreeing to an armistice. General ^enocol today expressed the utmost confidence that his efforts would be crowned with success. Others, hon> ever, are not so' hopeful. It lfttfeared the rebels will Insist upon the retlremen of President Palma, and I have high authority for stating that Palma will under no circumstances consent even to give such* a proposi tion consideration; not that Palma would not be perfectly willing to re tire, If his retirement meant permanent jeace for the country* but he thinks t not only would not mean peace, but It would mean anarchy, and ultimate annexation by the United States. JESUIT ELECTION CHICAGO SOCIETY WOMAN RIDES IN NIGHT CLOTHES TO SA VE LIVES AT A FIRE She Leaps From Third Story Window and Is injured, But Gets on Horse and 1 - Gives Alarrh. By Private Leased Wire. Rome, Italy, Sept. 7.—It will be im possible before tomorrow, when the se cret session ends, to get any definite idea as to who the new general of the Jesuits will be. There Is a great deal of speculation as to the result of the election. Father Meyer, the American, is the leading candidate, but whether his lead is strong enough to gain him the highest place to which a member of the Society of Jesus may aspire is another ques tion.

INTER-URBAN LINE MA Y HELP TO BRING TWO CENT FARES JOHN J, M'KOY DIED AT DECATUR The new Infer-urban line from At-to remove any commissioner for re lents to Macon may solve the two-cent passenger fare problem. Until then, however, the two-cent passenger fares will still be In vogue and distant future according to the line-up of the presert commission. Railroad Uommlssloner Brown has several months yet to serve. Com missioner McLendon, when he goes Into office, if he defeats Crenshaw, will have to play a lone hand on this score. The present commission has already gone on record ae opposed to this hange, and the question arises, ran the incoming governor find authority fusing to put In efTect tbe two-cent fares. A two-cent rate is In effect now between Marietta and Atlanta, the home of one of the commissioners, and Its efficient secretary, Colonel George Montgomery. This Is due to the trolley line from Atlanta to Marietta. The distance Is seventeen and a half miles ami the fare on both the electric line and the Western and Atlantic railroad is 35 cents, or even two cents a mile. The new Inter-urban line from At lanta to Macon may help solve this problem. The 20-mtle electric line from Augusta to Aiken has a 26-i*ent fare, or a cent and a quarter per mile.
