NEW YORK. N.Y. MAYOR J J. SEfiY Has telegraphed Goa. Atkin son His Services. WILL RAISE A BATTERY - ——>— .. 1 And Re-organize The Old Cher okee Artillery. . Upon the receipt of a copy of the president’s proclamation, calling for 75,000 more volun teers, Mayor John J. Seay of this city, as brave an old vet as ever wore the gray, promptly wired Governor Atkinson ten dering his services and asking permission to raise an artillery company. Capt. Seay would have but little trouble in securi ig the number of men necessary for a battery, as every one who knows him and has the slightest in clination to go to the front, would be delighted to serve un- I der him. The president’s call was made yesterday. The call is for 75,000 volunteers making a volunteer 1 force of about 200,000 troops. The war department will notify Governor Atkinson at once, naming Georgia’s quota and specifying the number of men wanted for the different branches of service. It is believed that Georgia will be.asked for from 1500 to 2000 men a.id should there be a call for one or more batteries I Capt. Seay will doubtless be commissioned to raise one of them. The Rome battery, in all probability will be called the Cherokee artillery. fl BYRD’S EYE VIEW- If, because there is no law providing for the payment of a just claim against the county, and the county commissioners pay said claim—if said payment is illegal and the payee should i be made to disgorge —then, oh my countrymen ! What is there that the Featherston board has .nut done ? * * * Now, understand me, I have •‘slung no mud” neither have I la “slime pool,” nor do I believe I I have “a right to drag I'’ 1 '’ people into “slime pools.” I have from the first took the high ground that “the laborer is worthy of his hire.” * * * * I have also contended from •the first that the “reformers” were not sincere in their cry for “reform” —that they were only a combination of office-seekers and pie-hunters. * •w * 11l the desperation of their condition they opened a cam paign of mud-slinging and un covered their “slime pools” and proceeded to try to drag down faithful officials. * » * Through their organ they search back to April 4, 1894. From then until now they bring forward nothing because since that mare’s nest was discovered they have been able to discover not even a suspicion of anything wrong. . * * * They had to have something about which to raise a shout, lor their political condition w..* un done. Their “reform’ leaders had tried and utterly failed to place a favorite supporter in the clerk of court office. * * They had failed all along.the I line, to st cure p uni l , h v strat— |egy, .-nd found the p ■; le were i well pleased with the faithful | services of honest, efficient and I courteous public, servants. •* * * This condition would never do. They found’an organ in the morning paper, it having just lost the city’s priming, and they opened up by c tiling on county officials to disgorge cert in sums, . oi money paid them by the com . oiissioners for sei vices rendered. * * * Thej told the people they had been robbed and said that two thirds of the boodle had gone to the sheriffs and clerk’s offices. (They ref iso to tell where the 1 1 “uthci I.' 1” weal to ) * * * ‘These faithful officers were I;.

The law failed to provide for the payment . ’ s dins of ; court officers. « * A heinous offense, and be cause - the '“misappropriating” I board.’, of the past had construed the law differently and these of ficials bad accepted pay for ser vices rendered from sakl com missioners then th< sc efficient officials must step down and out. * * * Now look at the action of the Featherston board. What has it done in the way of paying out | m.mev where the claims are not j providtd for by law? i Has it a record? !
