Lively Scramble For South
Georgia Dis’t Attorneyship
Without An Ihcumbent by
Resignation.
Macon, Ga.—Attorney General Mc-
Reynolds has accepted the resignation
of Alexander Akerman as United States
district of Georgia, to become effective
as soon as his successor is apointed and
qualified.
Upon the conclusion of the naval stores
cases in Savannah last week, this be
ing Mr. Akerman's last Important case
for the government, he wrote his for
mal resignation to Mr. Mcßeynoids un
der date of June 3 and yesterday he
received the letter of acceptance.
It might be added that in March, 1813,
Mr. Arkerman told the attorney general
in the presence of the late Senator A. O.
Bacon that he was willing to resign at
any time the department wished him to
retire from the office.
As there Is a lively contest on for the
position held by Mr. Akerman, there is
no telling just when the new district at
torney will be appointed. Mr. Akerman
will remain In Macon -and engage in the
active practice of law.
Those Mentioned.
Washington, D. C.—The acceptance of
Mr. Akerman’s resignation presages the
early nom'nation of a Democrat for this
responsible government position. It Is
not probable, however, that any nomina
tion will he made until Attorney General
Mcßeynoids returns to Washington. He
is not expected back until next week.
"I look for an appointment shortly
after the attorney general returns to
Washington,’’ said Senator West today.
“I have indorsed several men, anv one
of whom would suit me, but I am by no
means certain that any one of them is
acceptable ito the department of justice.
T have other men in mind, and may sug
gest one of them in the event the at
torney general declines to name either
D. A. R. Crum, of Cordele; Fred T. Saus
ey. of Savannah, or B. M. Custer, of
Bamtridge. I have thought of Roscoe
I-uke. of Thomasville; Stanlev S. Ben
net. of Quitman, and John W. Bennett,
of Waycioss. 1 understand that either
of the three would accept the appoint
ment. and I feel sure that either of them
would be entirely satisfactory to the de
partment of justice.
”1 have no personal objection to Col.
R. I. Berner, of Macon, who is in
Washington now, but X think the district
attorney should come from south of Ma
con.”
The senator declared that under no
circumstances would he Indorse W. A.
Covington, of Moultrie, who has been
urged for the position.

To succeed nowadays one must be wide awake
daytimes and sleep soundly at night.
Coffee, on account of its drug, caffeine, keeps
many people awake nights and makes them dozy in
the daytime, when they should be keen and alert.

THE PANAMA CANAL
This wonderful waterway cost i 575.000,000 and involved a nine-mile cut through a mountain,
the erection of six pairs of gigantic locks, and a dam 150 feet high and a mile long. The dis
tance it saves—6,ooo mile*—will revolutionize commerce and place the l/nited States first
among the leading nations of the world. The Anheuser-Busch plant cost about one-sevetMh
as much as this canal —one was built by a nation, the other by an institution.
