for railroad commissioner:
PROPERTV HOLDERS
WILLJK NOTIFIED
Work on the New Postoffiee
Will Be Started
October 15.
The properly owners who Sold the
§"t of the new pustoffice to the govern
ni»nt will next week be notlfled to
aacale, and on October IS the repre
s- ntatlves of the supervising nrchllsct’s
oflire wilt take ehurge of the lot.
This Will be the Orel step looklnt to
the end of Atlanta*! long nnd strenuous
fight for adequate pcalnl facilities, ntnl
« HI tw a welcome move fit both the of-
n> Inis of the locnl pnstnfltce and to tlie
business men of Atlanta.
A- outlined by Supervising Architect
J. Knox Taylor during his recent visit
l" \tluhln, the hiilldlng will be 190 feel
• I'tari-. and will lie four rtorles In
krlghi. the entire flrst floor being oc-
miiled hv the postoffiee, thus git lug
almost twice the present arcoinmodn-
lions In the main work room there
will be 10.000 square feet of available
Working spare
The most surprising statement which
Mr. Taylor triads during hie recent visit
V as that at the present rate of Increase
of postal receipts of Atlanta It would
;■! obnbly be necessary to abandon this
building, so far as the postoffiee depart*
111' nt Is totirarned, within the next five
or six years, nnd erect another and
more commodious structure, covering at
|cn«t- an entire block mid situated
somewhere near the Terminal Station.
Tit* policy has been adopted by the
government that In the future one-
s'.ory postofflcee will be built, which
shall be plain but utllltaniin structures
of hrirk nnd steel, and the building
soon to be put up In Atlanta will prob
able be the last postoffiee nf classical
design to be constructed by the govern
ment.
As soon re* the supervising architect
ran get ell the working pinna In readi
ngs ho will call for bids for the entire
firm ture and the local officials are
h-'i/eful of seeing the contractors take
charge not later than January 1, In
a hit h case they hope to be In their
new cjusrter* by the spring of 1909.
Thai looks llkt n long way ofT, but the
tHI»f wll. be nonetheless welcome when
li comes.
NEGRO LIFTED PURSE
AND THEN 'FESSED UP
Mrs. A. ft. Rider, nf 171 North lloule-
vsrrl, was moving Thursday afternoon
and employed Severn) negroes to assist
her. Ons of thtm let the olhejs do
tho heavy lifting while be moved a
pookstbonk containing 111 from a bed
room to the bark yard.
The pockelbook was missed In a few
minutes and JWssa Matthews, the only
negro w ho had left the house, was aua
pecteil. He denied his guilt to Officer
Molllngaworth, who was called In, hut
after being placed under arrest, derid
ed to tell a straight story. The pocket-
oooft, stripped of Its contents, wns re
covered from the weeds, where Mat
thews had thrown It, and the missing
currency was dug from beneath a pile
of dirt near a negro cabin rloae by.
Matthews was sent to jail Saturday
m Hiring tn await the action of the city
court.
To the Rdltor of The Oeorgtan:
in the Issue of The Journal of the
8th Ihst. that paper Say*: “Thomas ('.
frenshaw, of Cherokee county, a form
er railroad commissioner, has Inde
pendently announced nla candidacy
against S. a. Mrl,emlnrt. the nominee
of the state Democratic parly.”
AH I ask of the press nf the stale
la fair treatment. It Is unfair lo say I
am an Independent candidate for rail
road commissioner. -I am ready nnd
willing at any time to make an oath
thqt 1 never In my whole life voted
against the nominees nf the Democratic
parly, and that I never dodged a vote.
My party has several times pul me In
position where 1 had to vote against
my convictions, but I took my msdlclne,
inarched to the polls and voted for the
Democratic nominee without making a
face. I now beg to ask the question:
• 'an all of those who are throwing
stones at me, and branding me an In
dependent candidate for railroad com
mieslonef, hold Up their right hand
and take the same oath?
■ Please do me the Justice to read my
announcement, over my own elgpa-
ture, and see If I did hot say 1 was a
Democratic candidate for railroad com
missioner. I have nowhere as PI I was
an Independent randldstn, and existing
conditions do not Justify my being
branded as such.
I hhve served as alderman and as
mayor of IsKirsiige, GO, two terms os
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 Ih each of these iiosltlona
are legitimate subjects of criticism, and
I 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 facie will sus
tain me—that th* Macon convention
exceeded Its nuthoiity when It under-
look to nominate a candidate for rail
road commissioner.
The state Democratic executive com
mittee 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 nf
education, prison commissioner, Jus
tices of the supreme court, judges o
the superior court and solicitor genera
In the circuits where there were vacan
cies, by primary election, to be held on
August 22, 1900.
Although the law, at the time of the
primary election, on August 22, required
a railroad commissioner lo be elected
the general election .In October
thereafter, no provision was made for
the people lo express their choice for a
railroad commissioner, nnd they did
not so express themselves. Rvery per
son. therefore, ran vote ns 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 lo recommend the elec-,
lion 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,
1909, art not bound by the action of
the Macon rohventlott, whan It usurped
the power It did by nominating a can
didate for railroad commlisloner. when
the selection of a candidate tor rail
road commissioner was not an Iseue In
the primary election, at the time the
delegates were selected. It appears
that a candidate for railroad cmntnls-
sloner was agreed on In Atlanta, In
advance of the meeting Of the Macon
convention end nflerwnrds nominated
by the Macon convention. I believe
the people of CJeorgla will, at the ballot
box In October next, xuetaln me In my
contention, which Is that the delegates
to the Macon convention only had the
authority to recommetfd the election
of n candidate for railroad commis
sioner, but had no authority lo nomi
nate one, nnd thereby bind the Demo
cratic party by such nomination.
Very respectfully,
T. C. CRENSHAW.

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 as the "King of
Draft,” otherwise the "prince of hotel
beats," announced his suicide, hotel
keepers In this city who were victim
ised by him, today do not bellev* 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 hla victims, and according to
his record, he defrauded thirty-two
Innkeepern and private cltlsena In all
parts of the United Staten during the
month of August. He asked that his
real name be kept secret to aave his
wife and mother embarrassment.

Havana, Cuba, Sept, 7.—Word
confidently expected from Pino Guerra
today that he ha* Joined Asbert In Ha-

agreeing to permit General ilenocol
an opportunity to bring about peace,
by ngreelng to an armistice. General
Menocol today expressed the utmost
confidence that his efforts would be
crowned with success, others, how-
ever, ere not no hopeful.
It Is feared the rebels will Insist upon
the retlremen of President Palma, and
I have high authority for ataiing that
Palma will under no circumstances
content even to give euch a proposi
tion consideration: not that Palma
would not be perfectly willing to re
tire, If hla retirement meant permanent
jeace for the'eountry, but he thinks
t not only would not mean peace, but
It would mean anarchy, and ultimate
annexation by the United Slates.

INTER-URBAN LINE MA Y HELP

Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 7.—Ur. i\ H.
Irion, atate health officer of IsOuUInna,
bn* wired State Health Officer Sanders,
of Alabama* a* follows:
••Twenty*thlrd day and no new cases,
quarantine raised; fumigation com
pleted.**
So far there has been only two cases
of yellow fever in the South, and It
has not spread. No case has been re
ported In New Orleans, and the Ala
bama health authorities are confident
vellow fever will not visit this state
this year.
CROWNS, BRIDGES, PLATES.
The nsw Intrr-urban line from At-to remove any comtnlsalnner for re-
lama lo Macon may aolve the two-cent
passenger fare problem.
Until then, however, the two-rent
passenger fares will still be In vogue
and distant future according to the
line-up of the preaerl commlsalon.
Railroad Commissioner Brown ha*
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 as opposed to this
change, and the question arises, can
the Incoming governor find authority
fusing to put In effect the 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 halt miles and the
fare on both the electric line nnd the
Western nnd Atlantic railroad la 39
rents, or even two cents a mile.
The new Inter-urban lln* from At
lanta to Macon may help solve this
problem. The 20-mlle electric line
from Augusta to Aiken has a !5-cent
fare, or a rent and a quarter per mile.
