Tenn., district, Democrat, a candidate
for governor of the atate, who haa been
at the Higgs for two weeks, left last I
night for Nashville. The campaign
will be opened ne*t week In a speech

PROPERTY HOLDERS
1 BE
Work on the New Postoffice
Will Be Started
October 15.
The property owners who sold the
site of the new poatofllce to the govern
ment will next week tie notified to
vacate, and on October IS the repre
sentatives of the supervising architect's
office wilt take charge of the lot.
This will lie the first step looking to
the end of Atlanta's long nnd strenuous
fight for adequate postal facilities, and
will be a welcome move to bot h the of-
»l lals of the local poetotflce and to the
business men of Atlanta.
As outlined by Supervising Architect
J. Knox Taylor during his recent visit
to Atlanta, :he building will lie Iso feet
square, and will be four rtorles In
height, the entire first tloor being oc
cupied by the postofflee, thus giving
almost twice the present accommoda
tions. In the main work room there
will be 20,000 square feet of available
working spare.
The most surprising statement which
Mr. Taylor made during his recent visit
was that at the present rate of Increase
of postal receipts of Attantu It would
probably be necessary to abandon this
building, so far as the postofflee depart
ment is concerned, within the next live
or six years, and erect anothci and
more commodious structure, covering at
least an entire block Hnd situated
somewhere near the Terminal (Ration.
The policy has been adopted by the
government that In the future one-
story pOetofflces will be built, which
shall be plain but utilitarian structures
of brlek and steel, and the building
soon to be put up In Atlanta will prob-
nbly be the last postofflee of classical
design to be constructed by the govern
ment.
As soon aa the supervising architect
can get all the working plans In readi
ness he will call for bids for the entire
structure and the local officials are
hopeful of seeing the contractors take
charge hot later than January 1, In
which case they hope to be In their
new quarters by the spring of 1909.
That looks like a long way off, but the
relief wll, be nonetheless welcome when
It comes.
‘IRC/NASA DEM0CRAT,’
SA YS T. C. CRENSHA W
Candidate For Railroad Commission Says
Convention Had No Right to De
clare the Nominee.
The following card haa been received
from Hon. T. C. Crenshaw, candidate
for railroad commissioner:
To the Editor of The Georgian:
In the Issue of The Journal of the
6th Inst, that paper says: "Thomas <:.
Crenshaw, of Cherokee county, a form
er railroad commissioner, has Inde
pendently announced his candidacy
against X. o. McLendon, the nominee
of the state Democratic party."
All I ask of the press of the state
Is fair treatment. It la unfair to say I
mu an Independent candidate for rail
road commissioner. 1 am ready and
willing at any time to make an oath
that 1 never In my whole life voted
against the nominees of the Democratic
party, und that I never dodged a vote.
My party has several times put me In
position where I had to vote against
my convictions, hut I took my medicine,
inarched to the polls and voted for the
Democratic nominee without making a
face. I now beg to ask the question:
'an all of thosa who are throwing
stones at me, and branding me an In
dependent candidate 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 see If I did not say I was a
Democratic candidate for railroad com
missioner. I have nowhere said I was
an Independent candidate, and axlstlng
conditions do not Justify my being
branded aa such.
I have served as alderman and as
mayor of LaOrange, (Ja, two terms aa
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
I am ready to face them when the lime
light Is turned on me. 1 ash, however,
to lie treated fairly and not misrepre
sented. I hold—and the facta will sus
tain me—that the Macon convention
exceeded Its authority when It under
took to nominate a candidate for rail
road commissioner.
The state Democratic executive com
mlttec met and provided for the noml
nation of candidates for United States
senator, governor, secretary of state,
treasurer, comptroller general, commls.
sloner of agriculture, Commissioner of
education, prison commissioner. Jus
tires of the supreme court. Judges of
the superior court and solicitor general
In the circuits where there were vacan
clea, by prlmury election, to be held on
August 22, 1906.
Although the law-, at the time of the
primary election, on August 22, required
a railroad commissioner to be elected
ut 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
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. Mcl^endon, which they did
not do, but nominated him straight
out as a candidate for railroad com
mlsaloner. I 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 (lower It did by nominating a can
dldate for railroad commissioner, 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,
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 la that the delegates
to the Macon convention only had the
authority to recommend the election
of a candidate for railroad commls
sloner, but hnd no authority to nomi
nate one, and thereby bind the Demo
cratic party by such nomination.
Very respectfully,
T. C. CRENSHAW.

KING OF HOTEL DEAD BE A TS
SA YS THA T HE IS A SUICIDE
New York, Sept. 7.—Although a man
frequently signing himself John T.
Hardin, and known as the "King of
Orafl," otherwise the "prince of hotel
beats," announced hln suicide, hotel
keeper* In thl* city who were victim
ised by him, today do not believe that
he Is dead. Despite the doubt, how
ever, three hotels have written In red
Ink across hla accounts, "Committed
suicide."
The National Hotel Keepers' Asso
ciation haa 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
hi* record he defrauded thirty-two
Innkeepers and private citizens In all
parts of the United States during the
month of August. He asked that hla
real name be kept secret to save hla
wife and mother embarrassment.
HE KNE W CASS IE CHADWICK
TO THE TUNE OF $800,000
NEGRO LIFTED PURSE
AND THEN 'FESSED UP
Mrs. A. 8. Elder, of 278 North Houle
▼art), was moving Thursday afternoon
and employed several negroes to assist
her. One of them let the others do
the heavy lifting while he moved
pocketbook containing 141 from a bed
room to the back yard.
The pocketbook was missed In a tew
minutes and Jesse Matthewe, the only
negro who had left the houee, was sus
pected. He denied his guilt to officer
Hollingsworth, who was called In, hut
after being placed tinder arrest, decid
ed to tell a straight story. The pocket-
nook, stripped of Its contents, was re
covered from the weeds, where Mat
thews had thrown It. and the missing
currency was dug front beneath a pile
of dirt near a negro cabin close by.
Matthews was sent to Jail Saturday
morning to await the action of the city
court.
QUARANTINE RAISED!
NO YELLOW FEVER
Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 7.'—Ur. O. II
Irion, state health officer of Louisiana,
haa wired Stnte Health Officer Sanders,
of Alabama, as follows:
"Twenty-third day and no new cases,
quarantine raised; fumigation com
pleted."
So far there haa been only two cases
of yellow fever In the South, and It
boa not spread. No rase has been re
ported In New Orleans, and the Ala
bama health authorlllea are confident
yellow fever will not visit this state
this year.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 7.—James \V.
Friend, the Pittsburg millionaire bank
er, who Is being sued by the widow
of \\\ Jutte for. the recovery of
15,000.000 worth of the Jutte estate,
out of which, she claims, Friend and
hla aide partner, Frank N. Hoffstott,
have defrauded her, was on the stand
In his own defense yesterday.
Mr. Friend admitted having had earn
est conversation and business dealings
with the "Queen of Finance," Cassl^
Chadwick, who Is now In the Colum
bus, Ohio, penitentiary. At one time In
the examination Judge Shafer so far
forgot his official dignity as to give
vent to something like a snicker.
"You knew Mrs. Chadwick?" began
Attorney Wlel, In a cooing tone.
"I tlld," snapped the millionaire banker
with a grimace, probably remembering
his (800,000, and It was here that Judge
Shafer nlmoat forgot hla dignity by
laughing.
INTER-URBAN LINE MA Y HELP
TO BRING TWO CENT FARES
The new Inter-urban line from At-to remove any commissioner tor re-
lanta 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 <'.on miss loner Brown has
several months yet to serve. Com
missioner Mct-endon, when he goes
Into office, If he defeats Crenshaw, will
Imve lo play a lone hand on this score.
The present commission has already
gone uu record as opposed to this
hang*, and the question arises, can
the Incoming governor find authority
fusing tu put In effect the two-cent
fares.
A two-cent rate la In effect now
between Marietta and Atlanta, the
home -f one of the commissioners, and
Its efficient secretary. Colonel George
Montgomery.
This la due to the trolley line from
Atlanta to Marietta. The dlHtance la
seventeen and a half miles and the
fare on both the electric line and the
Western and Atlantic railroad la 35
cents, or even two cents a mile.
The new Inter-urban line from At
lanta lo Macon may help solve this
problem. The 20-mlle electric line
from Augusta to Aiken has a 25-rent
fare, or a cent and a quarter per mile.

Havana, Cuba, Bept. 7.—Word
confidently expected from Pino Guerra
today that he haa Joined Aabert In Ha
vana and Guzman In Santa Clara In
agreeing to permit General Menocol
an opportunity to bring about peace,
by agreeing to ari armistice. General
5tenocol today expressed the utmost
confidence that hla efforts would be
crowned with success. Others, how
ever, are not so hopeful.
It Is feared 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 hla retirement meant permanent
!>eace 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.
