WANT POSTMASTER REMOVED.
People of loccoa Not Satisfied With
George L. Walker.
Toccoa, fia„ August 4. —What seems
to be a determined tight is being
made by the citizens to have George
1,. Walker, postmaster at tiiis place,
removed from office.
A petition asking the president to
remove Postmaster Walker has born
circulated during the past few days
and lias been generally signed by the
patrons to the Toccoa postoince.
Tlie petition is backed up oy about
fifteen affidavits from citizens of Toc
coa, and taken together, the petition
and affidavits make salty reading.
The petition alleges that Postmas
ter Walker is totally unfitted, physic
ally and morally, lor the position, and
is not capable of filling the ofllce. It
i also alleged tnat Walk
er is drunk much of the time in the
postoffice and on the public streets
of the town; tnat ne is a disgrace to
tue administration ano an eyesore to
the public
The affidavits show a transcript from
the police court docket of too city of
Toccoa in which Postmaster Walker
has pleaded quilty to the charge of
"drunk and disorderly.’’ Several affi
davits allege public drunkenness, while
others affirm that Postmaster Walker
is impu.ent arm insulting to ladies
who have business at the ofiirc. Sev
eral affidavits show that in the ab
sence of the postofßce cierk, the post
master refuses and fails to deliver
their mail.

TO FIGHT
THE CASE
.
_____
JUDGE SPARKS IS NOT SATISFED
WITH DECISION OF STATE
PARDON COMMISSION.
A very interesting case will prob
ably bo tried in the city court today,
in which an important point of law
will bo decided
At toe last session of t.,e city court
Goo. Ponder, colored, was tried on
too charge of keeping a lewd house
The jury returned a verdict of guilty,
and Judge Sparks sentenced Ponder
to serve a term ol r, mouths on the
chain gang and pay a fine of SIOO.
Pontier and his attorneys fought the
sentence of Juuge Sparks and efforts
were made to get hint to commute the
sentence. For a while it looked as
(hough he would have, to serve the
term. Finally, his attorneys appealed
the case to the state pardon board, and
tnat. body commuted the sentence as
to the chaingatig, but increased the
fine from SIOO to $250.
Judge Sparks now holds that the
court costs of slno or more should be
paid by Ponder, and tnis is the point
that will be argued today. The state
pardon board in their decision did not
specify that Ponder should pay the
costs of the court, but increased the
nne to $250, all of which is to go to
the county.
Crovatt A: Wnlttield will represent
Ponder in the case, and the solicitor
will appear for tne state.

FORT SCREVEN TEAM FROM SA
VANNAH WON BALL GAME
BY SCORE OF 9 TO 6.
The Pitching of Walker and the Home
Run by McCunouggh Were
Features of the
Game.
Quite a large number of people
went out to the lair grounds yester
day afternoon to witness the game of
baseball between tne local team and
tne military team trout Fort Screven,
Tybee.
Tne game, although errors wore
plentiful, was quite interesting, hut
from the very first inning il looked
like a victory for the military boys,
and they word victorious by a score of
9 to (i.
In the very i.rst inning tne Fort
Screvens made two runs on account
of errors, by Creamer, Crovatt and
McCtillougu. The hall was not knocked
out of the infield, and still the visiting
team succeeded in gening in two
runs. Creamer was evidently oxperi
ncing an oif day, as bis work behind
the bat was very poor, and he is re
sponsible for several' of tliio runs
made by the soldier boy s. Golden, in
right field, also played an off game,
and although he had several chances,
he did not succeed in catching a sin
gle ball. The spectators were of the
opinion that, he was wearing a rubber
mit. The other players did very well,
but the team needs considerable
practice.
Walker, the Brunswick pitcher,
played a beautiful game, and had he
received any support at alt, ne would
have won his game. The Savannah
hoys were unable to connect with bis
curves, and he had some twelve or
liiteen. sunie-onts credited lo him. lie
also Bid good work at this bat, and
playect an all-round good game and
well deserved a victory.
While the visiting team did not do
any star playing, they showed that
they were in good practice, and play
ed wi’i'l together all through the game.
The game grew very interesting in
tlie sixth inning, wnen the scon- stood
5 to 2 in favor of Savannah. Tlie
home tonm came in with a determined
look to win the game, and they made
a good effort to do so. Two men were
on bases; with two out, when McCul
lough wc.nt to bat. Everybody in the
grand stand were on the qui vive and
McCullough seemed to think the game
depended on him. A hail came along
that suited him and lie landed it over
the right field fence, making a home
ami and the only long nit of the game.
111 is put the score .1 to 1 in favor of
Savannah. But the home team was
in table to make more t han two nifla
in the remainder of tlie game, while
tne visitors scored five more, making
a total of !) to (i.
The features of the game, howev
er, were all crooned 1:0 the home
team. Walker’s pitching. McCulloch’s;
home run and a sensational catch by
Abbott were the features oj the game.
The two clubs will meet again tiiis
aiternoon, and the locals fee! sure
that they will win the game.

The Atlanta Constitution of yes
terday, in discussing the present rail
road situation, says:
"Among railroad men in this terri
tory, tne opinion is daily becoming
mare general that the merging of prac
tically all the railroads in tne south
east into one combination is an event
ot the not very distant future.
It id's been slated that such a combi
nation was the ultimate intention of
tne Morgan interests when they
financiered tne reorganization of the
Richmond Terminal Company and or
ganized the Southern railway. That
they have been working toward tiiis
over since the formation of (ho South
ern is evident to any one who has
watched tno progress of railroad af
fairs.
Practically every road oi .mportance
in the southeast with tne exception of
the Seaboard Air Line and the Frisco
is now coniroiley either directly, or
indirectly by the Morgan interests. It
is said that the final merging 01 those
properties will come as soon as The
legality of tae Northern Securities
Company ’is established.
flic probable course of the Seaboard
if such a merger is made, lias been
much discussen. Some have con
tended that the road would remain
independent, while others have -eld
that Morgan can buy it whenever ho
wishes.
