STILL URGING
THE GOVERNOR
Following Declination of Clark
Howell of U. 8. Senatorship,
Slaton Besieged.
Atlanta, Ga.—Further than n IMtar
from Jovemor John M. Slaton to Clark
Howall. editor of The Constitution, ex-
I'reesln* hla regret that Mr. Howell
had declined to be roreldered ra t
candidate for the arpolntmrnt as atic
ceaaor of the late Senator A, O. Pa
eon, there were no new development*
In the senatorial appointment altuntlo.i
on Tuesday.
After sending Mr. Howell hie letter
Governor Slaton saw Mr. Howell lat»r
during the day and repeated the ten
der. as contained In hi* letter. Mr.
Howell declining again, however, to
have his name considered.
Although delegations supporting nil
nix of the candidates In the field wait
ed upon the governor on Tuesday, at
nightfall ther was no further Indica
tion of what appointment the governor
will make than there has been here
tofore.
It wag Indicated, however, that the
governor will In all probability make
his appointment before Thursday af
ternoon.
Governor Slaton's letter to Mr.
Howell was In reply to the letter of
Mr. Howell published yesterday asking
the governor not to consider his name.
Governor He* Busy Day.
Tuesday was a very strenuous day
for the governor. All day long he was
besieged with letters and telegrams
and Individuals In support of one or
another of the six or so candidates.
It Is practically a foregone conclu
sion among all political prognosticators
now that the appointment will go to
a south Georgia man. but as to who
this man will be there Is absolutely no
inkling. Speculations, of course, are
rife, but these are based upon personal
preference and the apparent propor
tions of support. Prom the governor's
office has come no word which would
lend a basis for a guess.
The Vereen boosters on Tuesday
were working hard and not without
coslderable confidence. The element

a bottle of the Beautifier now consider
It indispensable for the proper caro
of the hair, but each of them has
been the means of getting several of
her friends to use it. As a conse

supporters also took a Jump, it being
considered by many that the with
drawal of Mr. Howell would greatly
enhance the chances of the former.
Savannah Is still urging upon the
governor the appointment of either
Judge Samuel B. Adams, Col. Peter
W. Meldrim or W. W. Osborne, of that
city.
The names of W. W. Banks of Tif
ton and Judge N. K. Harris of Macon
are also frequently heard spoken
among the crowd of supporters an 1
politically curious, who are camping at
the capitol. The same is true of Colo
nel W. S. West of Valdosta.
Kx-Governor Brown has also been
urged in a number of letters to the
governor.
Some Good Advice.
_Uere Is a letter whlchDovernor Sla

may be regarded as highly significant
of the exact situation in regard to the
appointment:
"Governor John M. Slaton, Atlanta,
Ga. —Dear Sir: I have noticed in the
newspapers that a large number of
people have called upon you in regard
to the appointment of a successor to
the late Senator A. O. Bacon. Some
of these seem to ho demanding, while
others seem to bo commanding. Inas
much as others are giving you their
advice. I take this opportunity to give
you mine. Mine is this:

Abolish Unnecessary Offices
and Not Cut Salaries, is the
Callaway-Alexander Method
' $
Opposed to the Suggestions of Messrs. Pope and Phinizy Re
garding Reductions in Pay of Nearly All City Officials and
Employes.
As opposed to the plan of Messrs. F.
B. Pope and Jacob Phinizy for the gen
eral reduction of salaries of the city
officials in order to economize, Messrs.
E. H. Callaway and H. H. Alexander,
members with Messrs. Pope and Phin
izy of the citizens committee which
was asked to make recommendations
to the finance committee for a plan to
reduce expenses, submit that they do
not believe in reducing salaries.
Messrs. Callaway and Alexander
aver that they' do not believe the sal
aries paid to the city officials gener
ally are excessive. They further say
that who are not earning their
salaries shiittld he discharged and they
recommend that unnecessary offices he
abolished.
The plan of Messrs. Pope and Phin
izy will be rejected, as forecasted in
the Herald some time ago, and other
means found to economize. Messrs.
Pope and Phinizy stated they felt that
in a few years the salaries could be
raised again.
Here is the Callaway-Alexandcr
plan:
February 10th, 1014.
Hon. Fred B. Pope,
Augusta, Ga.
Dear Sir:
We hav/ 1 received your favor of the
10th Inst., addressed to us as members
of the Citizens’ Committee appointed
last week for the purpose of conferring
with the mayor and finance committee
of the city council, with a view of sug
gesting proposed economies in the
cost of the city’s administration.
We have gone over the list of sal
aries now paid by the city of Augusta
to its officers and employes and note
the suggestions made by Mr. Phinizy,
and as stated, largely concurred in by
you for the proposed reduction of these
salaries. After carefully considering
the proposed reduction in salaries as
indicated on the lift furnished us, we
have reached the following conclu
sions;
MORNING WITH THE .RECORDER
Big wedding la«t night. The nup
tials of Aunt Dinah Anderson's daugh
ter, Dizzy, were solemnized at her
house In Pigtail alley. William Ho
kum, who seems to have been best
man, came up for violating the 690th
section. Aunt Dinah told the story.
She had gone to considerable ex
pense. She had prepared a most
sumptuous repast. There was chicken,
oranges, dumplings, cake and sherry
wine. Aunt Dinah had taken pains
there should he no whiskey hut she
thought some of the men must have
brought sr»me in their pockets. The
bride's dress had cost hey nearly seven
dollars. Bhe had been saving up for
months to give her a proper send off.
"And dese niggers had to come
round dere and botch up my chile's
weddln.’ I never was s o out-done. Wil
liam here he come in de house de first
one. I see he hen drinkin’ but X didn’t
like to say nothin' to him right at first,
THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
1. As a general proposition, we do
not think it wise to cut salaries of of
ficials charged with the performance
of public duties, for the' reason that
Invariably such action Is calculated io
bring about dissatisfaction and ineffi
ciency.
2. We do not think the salaries paid
by the city council of Augusta to Its
officials generally, are excessive,
though some few of them probably
are.
If the officials arc not earning
their salaries, we think they should he
discharged and their places filled with
men who will earn the salaries.
4. We do believe, however, that
ever, that there are a. number of un
necessary officials and employes of
the city of Augusta, and it is our opin
ion that the wisest and safest
course of economy would require that
these unnecessary offices l.e abolished,
thereby saving ttie salaries now paid
to such officers.
5. Wo regret that ignorance on our
part of the actual conditions requiring
the services of these officials, render
us unable to intelligently or wisely
designate or suggest what positions
should be abolished, nr what officers
dispensed with.
fi. We believe that the mayor and
finance committee of council who are
thoroughly impressed witli the import
ance of economy in the city adminis
tration at tills time, and who, we as
sume, are thoroughly conversant with
the necessities of the different depart
ments, will exercise the courage neces
sary to dispense with useless officers
and unnecessary salaries.
7. to tiie appropriations now made
for the different departments, wo are
absolutely without sufficient informa
tion to make any intelligent sugges
tions whatever as to the actual needs
of these departments.
Yours very truly,
