Brief Bat Interesting
of Happenings in the State.
School Law Defeated.
The election to ratify the school
in Waycross resulted In defeat for
law. More than half the votes
In favor, but not a necessary

Was Most Successful Meeting.
There was a consensus of opinion
among the dentists that the
tion in Atlanta the past week was
most successful meeting of the
eta branch of the National Dental
sociation ever held. Many dentists
from the north and some from Canada
and Europe were present.
Will Have Paid Fire Department.
A resolution has been passed by the
mc^or and aldermen of Waycross au
thorizing the waterworks commission
to erect a handsome city building in
the waterworks park to be used for a
city hall and other city purposes. The
council also created a paid fire depart
ment and elected a chief and three
men to be installed at once.

Money For Savannah Hospital,
The senate commerce committee has
made favorable report on Senator
Clay’s bill for a marine hospital at
Savannah.
The cost will be $100,000, $75,000
exclusive of the site, and the secretary
of the treasury is directed to purchase
land adjoining the government post
office and court site with a sum not ex
ceeding $25,000.
The bill has the approval of the
treasury department and Is likely to
pass.
To Forestall Strike.
Notice has been posted in the Sibley
mills, at Augusta, that ten cents per
day will bo added to the wages of the
employes in the dye house and other
departments. This is taken by the op
eratives to mean a forestalment of the
strike, which is contemplated to be
inaugurated on March 17, for a ten per
cent increase in wages, and has had
a very conciliatory effect.
So far no official notice has been
served on the mill authorities by the
unions of any demand to be made by
them, but it is an open secret that a
demand is to be made, and that March
17 has been set as the date.

To Be Made a Test Case.
The first suit to be certioraried from
the city courts to the superior court
has been filed in Atlanta.
Under the recent agitation over the
question as to whether cases can be
appealed from the city courts direct to
the supreme court of the state, it is
likely that this case will be made a
test case.
The questions involved are very
important ones. The fact that one
case has been taken to the superior
already will tend to show the method
of procedure under the new ruling
should the supreme court sustain the
argument that the city courts of Atlan
ta are so constituted that they cannot
appeal cases directly fr#m the city
courts to the supreme court, but in
order to reach a higher court must be
taken by certiorari through the supe
rior court before a final decision can
be reached.
Watkinsville Votes School Bonds.
The tosvn of Watkinsville voted una
nimously to flont bonds to the amount
of $5,000 for school purposes.
In tlie spring term of 1S99 the citi
zens of the town determined to erect
a building for the Watkinsville High
school by popular subscription, and
several handsome subscriptions were
pledged. That year Oconee was visit
ed by one of the most disastrous
drouths ever known and the subscrip
tion plan was abandoned.
A measure authorizing the town
council to float bonds for school pur
poses was passed by the legislature
and voted upon by the people. Bonds
failed to carry by a ballot or two. The
question of holding a second election
under the same act was referred to At
torney General Terrell and a second
election ordered. Bonds won in the
second election, but owing to a tech
nicality of the law were not validated
by Judge Russell.

Consolidation Now Effected.
The street railroad and electric
companies of Atlanta have uncondi
tionally accepted the terms of the or
dinance recently passed by council
giving them the right to consolidate,
and a certificate of acceptance, accom
panied by a certified check for $50,(090,
signed by the president and secretary
of the consolidated companies, has
been filed with the city clerk.
1 The of the consolidated
name new’
company, according to tho signature
on the certificate of acceptance and
also on the check, is “The Georgia
Railway and Electric Company’.” P. S.
Arkwright is president, and S. J. Brad
ley secretary of the new concern, but
it Is said that these officers have only
been appointed temporarily.
Looks Like Blodgett.
According to present indications Col
onel E. F. Blodgett, assistant postmas
ter of the Atlanta postoffice, will be
appointed to the position of postmas
ter to succeed the late Major William
H. Smyth.
Strong forces are working on the ap
pointing power—President Roosevelt
—in the interest of Colonel Blodgett.

and it is now believed that his ap
pointment is certain. The indorsement
of the leading republicans of Georgia,
and of the foremost and most influen
tial business men and citizens of At
lanta, have gone to Washington in fa
vor of the assistant postmaster.
Colonel Walter H. Johnson, who
probably stands closer to the adminis
tration than any other Georgia repub
lican, went to the national capital in
Interest of the postmastership and his
recommendation is regarded as the de
ciding point. It is known positively
that he is in favor of Colonel Blodgett,
and for this reason, together with the
other strong indorsements, Colonel
Blodgett's appointment is considered
assured. The official appointment will
likely be announced within a few days.

Roads Notified By Governor.
Governor Candler has written letters
to all the executive officers of the rail
roads entering Atlanta informing them
of the action of the depot committee
in deciding to employ a competent ar
chitect of national reputation to pre
pare ground plans for a depot on the
state’s property.
Copies of the resolution adopted at
the conference were sent to all the
railroad authorities, so that they will
be officially informed of just what is
proposed.
Governor Candler also sent letters
to half a dozen prominent architects
in different parts of the country, men
who are specially skilled in this line
of work to be done, asking them to
submlt proposals for preparing the
plans desired. The chief difficulty in
this respect is the lack of an appro
priation for building the depot is not
available until July, 1903. The chances
are, therefore, that it will have to be
done somewhat on faith in the Georgia
legislature.
When these plans are prepared,
which it is hoped to have done about
April 1, or very soon thereafter, the
railroad officials will be notified and
another conference will be held.
AFTER RAILWAY TRUST.
President Wants Legality of Merger
Tested By Attorney General.
Within a very short time a bill will
be filed by the United States to test
the legality of the merger of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railway systems through the instru
mentality of the Northern Securities
Company. In speaking of the matter,
Attorney General Knox said:
“Some time ago the president re
quested an opinion as to the legality of
this merger, and I have recently given
him one to the effect that, in my judg
ment, it violates the provisions of the
Sherman act of 1890; whereupon he
directed that suitable action should be
taken to have the question judicially
determined.
SOLDIERS MISUSE WOMEN.
Is Charge Made Before National
Council of Women at Washington.
The National Council of Women in
triennial session at Washington Fri
day created aeommittee to revise and
codify the constitution and by-laws of
the order.
At Friday night’s session, Mrs. Mar
garet Dye Ellis talked about our duty
to the women of our new possessions.
She charged that American officials
and soldiers in the Philippines are mis
using Filipino women, and she appeal
ed to President Roosevelt “that he put
an end to the crime against these
women.”
