WEEPING

Treasuary Department Clerks Full
of Anxiety
MANY WERE FIRED
While Others go on a Tempora
ry Roll and Still Others
Drop Into Harder
Places a Georgi
an Promoted
Washington. October 2. Under
the Dockery'hill there has been a
great ehakingup in the treasuary.
It is doubtful if there was ever en
acted within the treasuary Jbuild
ing a scone similar to that which
occurred there this morning.
The average treasuary clerk is
always in his place at 9 o’clock. A
great many of them were "at their
desks long before that hour this
morning and many of them wore
very anxious faces.
Only forty-two clerks were drop
ped Saturday but in the reorgani
zation of the department all the
old clerks knew there would be a
“gamble” for the new places and
tLul some ninety-odd employes
would have to go on temporary
roll.
It is one of the few departments
under the-government where merit
counts and a great many of the
employes have to work hard.
“Where do I stand?” asked an
old whitohaired clerk in the ap
pointment clerk’s office this morn
ing.
“You are ou the temporary roll”
responded the clerk.
“Whst does that mean?”
There is au appropriation of
30,000 for the payment of the
clerks on that roll.
How long will it last.
' Until about the last of Decem-
' ber.
Then what will become of me?
‘I don’t know”
The old clerk swallowed something
in his throat and away It
was an uncommon sight to see two
women clerks walking down the cor
ridor in tears, trying to comfort each
other, and Mr. Dockery's ear must
have burned.
The Georgians in the department
very lucky. Not one of them
W as dropped, but several were ousted
from old p a es and given new and
hardei ones.
Eugene P. Pepper was transferred
from the office of the first comptroll
er to the second auditors division
and wrs removed from the treasury
to the old Wyman building. He is
placed in charge of the military di
vision. Mr. Forte, of Stewart county
was reduced from a chief’s position
in die second comptroller’s office to
a law clerkship in the comptrollers
office
Thnias A. Hodgson, of Athens,
was promoted from a $1,600 clerk
ship in the office of the late compt
r< 1 er to one paying SI.BOO.$ l .BOO.

As lar as Floyd county is concerned
the entire democratic ticket will go
through by nn average of 700 major
ity—at least those are the figures
i claimed by many of the most con
eervative members of the party.
No effort to capture tte colored
i vote is being spaired by the pops
, but the Georgia negro who was fiol
ed on the promise of 40 acres and a
mule now knows that democracy is
the negroes best friend.
From all over the state comes
cheering reports of promised demo
I crat.ic gains—certain to materialize.
That Mr. Atkinson and the entire
state ticket will be elected has long
since been conceded by Hines and
most of his dehided followers, that
that the majority will be nearer
100,000 than it is 1,000 most con
servatiou democrats are almost a
unit in predicting.
At 7 oclock tomorrow morning the
polls will open in this city, and
Judge E. R. Lumpkin for demo
cracy and Mr. Bud Rawlins for the
pops, assisted by an able staff of
clerks will be in charge
“A free ballot and a fair count

Chattanooga, Tenn. October 2. —
, One of Chattanooga’s largest in

: keeps a force of 300 hands at work
the year round. Negotiations are
now pending between St Louis par
ties and Newell Sanders, president

novel mandamus suit was brought
here to-dav by Mr. John Sibley
through his attorneys, Messrs. T.
B. Irwin and C. I). Philips.

Mr. J. M. Stone, to allow John
Sibley to inspect the book of regis
tration of Cobb county and to fur
nish to him a certified copy of the
list of voters, which, it was alleged
the ordinary refused to do.
