THURSDAY, JUNE 11. AMI'S JOB IS NOWJftCANT 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. DEATH FROM IMPURE FOOD.
