The railroad commission considered a
number of routine matters and several
petitions at its meeting Wednesday morn
ing. The proposed absorption of the tel

from Chestlehurst to Atlanta was heard.
The commission also considered the ap

The people of Hartwell and Bowersville
oppose the discontinuance.

How to Get Rid
of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way, and
It Costs Nothing to Try
Those who suffer from catarrh know Its
miseries. There is no need of this suffer
ing. Tou can get rid of it by a simple,
safe, inexpensive, home treatment discov
ered by Dr. Blosser who. for over thirty
five years, has been treating catarrh suc
cessfully.
His trea'ment is unlike .any other. It
is not a spray, douche, salve, cream, or
Inhaler., but Is a more direct and' thor
ough treatment than any of these. It
< leans out the head, throat nose and lungs
so that you can again breathe freely and
sleep without that stopped-up feeling that
*3 catarrh sufferers have. It heals the
diseased muoous membranes and arrests
he foul discharge, so that you will not
be constantly blowing your nose and spit
ting. and at the same time it does not
poison the system and ruin the stomach,
as internal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment with
out cost, send your address to Dr. J. W.
Blosser. 51 Walton street. Atlanta. Ga.,
•nd he will send you by return mail
enough of the medicine to satisfy you that
It Is all he claims for It as a remedy for
catarrh, catarrhal headaches, catarrhal
deafness, asthma, bronchitis, colds and aft
catarrhal complications. He will also
send you free an Illustrated booklet.

BIGHAM WILL HOI
REIUfINTONEWNAN
Under No Circumstances Will I
Return to Newnan as Preacher
in Charge, Declares Dr.
R. J. Bigham
♦, !
”1 will not return to Newnan as pastor
in charge!”
The above positive statement, which
hurls the Methodists of north Georgia
once more into a turmoil of debate and
protest and counter-protest land some
say—lntrigue), was spoaen to a Journal
i‘epresentalive early Wednesday alter- '
noon by Rev. R. J. Bigham.
'me pastot about whom has raged dur
ing the past lew days such a storm as is
without precedent in the annals of the
Methodist enureh, had come to Atlanta
uunng the morning, and was at the New
Kimball.
’’Under no circumstances will 1 return
to Newnan as the pastor in charge," said
the minister, with emphasis. "1 shall ask
the bishop to release me from the as
signment. 1 have already practically
asked him to do so in a telegram sent
him this morning, inquiring if what has
appeared in the press aboout my re
assignment to Newnan is official, and
saying to him that if it is, 1 would have
to ask for release from the Newnan ap
pointmeat.”
SITUATION VERY COMPLEX.
Rev. Bigham was uttering words full of
portent, for they mean that the Methodo
d‘tss of north Georgia, almost split by
the bitter contention of the past few days
and pacified by the compromise effected
by Bishop Hendrix In his latest order,
are to be once more precipitated into an
internal turbulence that is on the close
edge of seripus results.
By wires to the press, Bishop E. R.
Hendrix, now at Searcy, Ark., has with
in the past few hours announced the re
vocation of all previous orders and the
substitution of the following appoint
ments: Dr. J. T. Daves to remain in At
lanta as presiding elder; Rev. Mr. Big
ham to go back to Newnan in charge of
the First Methodist church, and Rev.
Ford Mcßee to go to Augusta in charge
of St. John’s. The bishop's action in this
matter, particularly that part of it re
taining Dr. Daves in the Atlanta district,
followed a protest wired to him by the At
lanta Methodist ministers against the re
moval of Dr. Daves, and preceded by a
few hours the laity meeting called for
noon of Wednesday in the American Na
tional bank. The latter meeting was to
also protest against Dr. Daves’ removal,
but on receipt of the bishop’s announce
ment it was called off.
WHAT WILL BE RESULT?
Bishop Hendrix’s telegram put an end,
seemingly, to all this activity. But the
appearance of matters in the new light of
Rev. Bigham's refusal to go back to New
nan, is now that the seeming end was
but a brief respite, and that even more
deeply than before the Methodists of the
North Georgia conference, clerical and
lay. are involved in a discussion that has
shaken the foundations of their organiza
tion.
It is stated that the bishop's solution
is eminently acceptable in Augusta, and
that St. John's will receive its new pas
tor with the open arms of welcome.
And the majority of Atlanta Methodists
are delighted that Dr. Daves is to remain
here. The presiding elder was showered
with congratulations, personal and tele-1
graphic, at his office in the Candler build
ing Wednesday morning. Dr. Daves has
during two years managed very capably |
the affairs of the Atlanta district, consid
ered the largest and most important in
the southern Methodist church. The
spontaneity with which the Methodists of
Atlanta, laity and clergy alike, rose to
fight for his retention is demonstration
enough of the high regard in which he is
held here.
FACTIONAL LINEBY DRAWN.
But factional lines have been drawn,
and Rev. Bigham’s flat refusal to return
to Newnan will aggravate conditions that
have during the past two days assumed
an aspect that is alarming older Meth
odists of Atlanta, at least, and is impell
ing them to call for caution.
Rev. Bigham is recognised as one of
the most capable ministers in the south.
In previous charges he has demonstrated j
an ability that is almost unquestionable, !
and which In itself makes the present
complications more serious.
Nothing more could be drawn from him. i
Wednesday morning, than the statement
for which he is quoted Above. He as- |
serted that he is not giving any thought I
to his future plans, and said that he is
not in a position to discuss them. He
implied by his manner that he is putting
his case up to the Methodists of Georgia.
Nashville. Tenn., are being looked after
by W. g. McNish, Esq., one of the pub
lishing house force. Mr. McNish is well
known throughout Georgia and has many
friends who are always glad to see him.
Methodists Will Raise Endowment
for Wesleyan Female College
WAYNESBORO. Ga., Dec. 1.-Most of
the preachers and a goodly number of
lay delegatee were present when Bishop
Wilson called the South Georgia Method
ist conference to order.
Rev W. F. Smith was re-elected secre
tary. with J H. Thompson. L. W. Colson
and E E. Gardner, assistant*.
The secretaries for statistics are O. W.
Cook, J. E. Seals. W. Gallaben J E
Summers. W. F. Phillips.
The orphans' home board re-elected
Rev. W. A. Huckabee agent, and Capt.
J. T. Dozier, superintendent. The home
has IJ9 children in It this year. Over
*25,000 have been raised this year, $13,000
of which was Raised by the agent.
COMMITTEE ON MEMORIAL.
The conference appointed W. L. Wright,
R. R. Johnson. Robert Kerr, G. H. Wal
ker and H. J. Fulbright, a committee
on the Wesley Memorial enterprises. A
cominitte on memorial to the general
conference was appointed, with Rev. T.
D. Ellis as chairman.
It is thought that the conference will
be against the movement to remove the
time limit.
One of the important matters to be
brbught before the conference is that of
the endowment for Wesleyan college.
SUPORT PRESIDENT AINSWORTH.
The South Georgia conference Is en
thusiastic in supporting President Ains
worth. at Wesleyan. An endowment of a
quarter of a million dollars is to be rak
ed in Georgia and Florida.
The Savannah district preachers will
give Rev. J. M. Lovett a handsome silver
pitcher. Mr. Lovett has served the district
four years, and has the love of all his
preachers.
Rev. J. E. Wray, D.D. will return to
the South Georgia conference, coming
from Shearen Memorial church in Hous
ton. Tex. Mr. Wray was formerly a mem
ber of the South Georgia conference. He
has been in New Orleans and Houston,
where he has made a fine record as a
preacher and church builder. He will
likely go to one of the leading appoint
ments of the conference.
ABOUT BISHOP WILSON.
Bishop Alpheus W. Wilson, who is pre
siding at the South Georgia conference,
is one of the great men of Methodism. He
would have been a light and leader in
any calling.
He Is one of the master preachers of
his denomination and of the United
States.
CONVICT SYSTEM
SEVERELY SCORED
Dr. Flanders Says Reorganization
Is Simply a Political Machine to
Make G. R. Hutchens Chairman
and Re-elect Governor Brown.
j Tiie change in the general scheme of
i operation of the convict system by the
; employment of freight inspectors and two
supervisors, effective Thursday, has serv
ed to again bring the penitentiary system
iin the limelight,
Dr. Wv J. Flanders, of Johnson county,
formerly member of the legislature, in
I a statement declares that the commission
has disregarded both the letter and spirit
'of the new convict law and that the
p:esent administration of Hie new system
' is wasteful and extravagant.
He further states that the reorganiza
! tion of tiie force of inspectors and sqper-
I visors—the first official act of the new
chairman—is in effect an effort to per-
• feet a political machine, which will be
supported at the expense of the people.
I Dr. Flanders claims that this machine,
i consisting of eight inspectors and two
I supervisors, traveling over the state on
| money furnished by the state treasury.
, will exert tiself to accomplish the elec
i tion of G. R. Hutchens as chairman of
the prison commission and the re-election
of Governor Brown, who appointed
Hutchens to the board.
LOCAL METHODIST PREACHER.
Dr. Flanders, who is a local Methodist
I pieacher, was formerly an inspector him
self. He tendered his resignation to Pris
on Commissioner Williams last May, be
cause, as he says, he could not consci
entiously comply with Captain Williams’
request to suppress facts relative to vio?
lations of the commission’s rules In Chat
ham county. He says the resignation was
not accepted when tendered, but subse
quently he was dropped from the pay roll
without notice. He claims to have been
unable to obtain any explanation from
Chairman Hutchens, although he has re
quested it.
i Dr. Flanders was in the legislature that
passed the new convict law. Moreover,
he was a member of the penitentiary
committee, and, as lie says, should be
familiar with the purposes and intent of
tJift law.
“The commission has not only increased
the inspectors’ force, but in'addition, has
employed two supervisors,” explained Dr.
Flanders. ‘‘This has been done by the
commission, despite the fact that the
change from the old lease system to the
road work has heen accomplished, and
there is In fact, much less need for in
spectors now than before.
‘‘Changing from the old to the new sys
tem, when the work was heaviest, there
were only three inspectors, but now the
commission for reasons best known to
Chairman Hutchens and Commissioner
Williams have more than doubled the
force, and nearly thribbled the expense.
ABOUT EXPENSES.
“The thre inspectors, who received a
salary of SIOO per month each, and whose
•expenses were less than SIOO per month
leach, cost the state less than S6OO. Cnder
I the new acheme, the eight inspectors will
receive SIOO per month each, and their
expenses will be about the same, maa
‘ir.g $1,600 for inspectors.
j “The two supervisors will receive SL->
I per month each, and expenses. Their ex
1 penises will be not less than SIOO per
I month. This makes the total expense of
at least $2,050 per month—s24,6oo per year
I for the ‘inspection’ of road camps undei
county supervision. This expense *3
: against $7,300 per year under the first
| W, "i n n connection with this extraordinary
expense, which to my mind la extra va
cant and fasteful, it is interesting to ob
serve that Chairman Hutchens, who was
! unpointed by Governor Brown, will have
to go bdfore the people for election next
year NO AUTHORITY IN UW.
Dr. Flanders declares that the new law,
which in effect repealed the old law.
makes no provision at all for Inspectors.
It does provide, however, for supervisors,
i and prescribes that they shall do the in
-BP"Secthjn 20 of tiie new law.” said he.
“provides ’that the prison commission is
herebv authorized, If they deem neces
sary. to emnloy not more than four super
visors. who shall visit the various conn
ties, inspect the convicts and their work,
• and do such other duties as may be re-
I quired of them by the commission. If
i practicable, civil engineers shall be se
' lected for these positions.'
' "The supervisors appointed by the com-
I mission are Hill Tuggle, of DeKalb coun
! ty, and John Awtry, of Cobb county.
“Neither of these gentlemen, so far as
I know, are civil engineers.
Dr. Flanders has spent a good part of
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at
the capitol, trying to see Chairman
Hutchins and affect a settlement for his
services as supervisor.
“The new convict law requires that ofie
member of the commission shall Inspect
convict camps, but tills duty has been
assigned to Commissioner Williams, and
could not, therefore, account for the
chairman s piolonged absence,” said the
doctor.
Dr. Flanders wished it understood that
he had no criticism for Gen. Clement A.
Evans, whom he loves and respects.
R. E. Davison Will
Oppose Hutchens
Robert E. Davison, of Greene county, at
the state capitol Thursday morning, made
I formal announcement of his candidacy for
the prison commission at the next state
primary in opposition to Chairman G. R.
Hutchens, of Polk county. Mr. Davison,
formerly a member of the general assem
bly. has thousands of fritends throughout
the state, who will read with pleasure
his announcement and who will rally to
his support.
Mr. Davison was a candidate for prison
commission at the last general primary,
and received the next highest vote of any
candidate. Under the rules of the pri
mary, he was entitled to contest with
Capt. Wiley Williams, the position at a
subsequent primary. However, he grace
fully yielded to Captain Williams, not
caring to precipitate another fight for the
office.
When Chairman J. S. Turner, of the
commission, dies some time ago. Mr.
Davison was an applicant for the posi
tion, and his friends believed that he
was entitled to the appointment. Strong
pressure was brought to bear on Govern
or Brown for Mr. Davison, but the gov
ernor appointed G. R. Hutchens, of Polk
county.
Mr. Davison was not appointed. It has
! been stated, because lie was not a law
yer The fact that he is a farmer doee
not. however, make him ineligible, under,
the law.

CRUISER AND GUNBOAT
SENT TO NICARAGUA
Continued From Page One
generally recognized that the United
States has decided the time has come
to put an end to further attacks on
Anvericjm life and interests in Central
America.
ZELAYA HELD RESPONSIBLE.
The far-reaching effect of the note
is a matter ,of comment. The
fact ttiat President Zelaya is apparently
to be held responsible for the murder,
so-called, of the two Americans, Groce
and Cannon and that the note inti
mates that Zelaya is the culprit, put a
sting to the situation. Almost fever
ish interest in the next step of this
government is manifest.
Concealed in the vigorous but care
fully prepared note dictated by Sec
retary Knox is seen a warning to the
Central American republics that they
must behave and conduct themselves
as other countries in the western hem
isphere conduct themselves. This and
the direct announcement that the Unit
ed States intends the family of western
republics live harmoniously, is believ
ed by diplomats to be epochal. The
Monroe doctrine las attained, in the
eyes of the diplomats, a new dignity.
The letter is seemingly a mere pto
test against existing conditions and,
while it bristles with declarations, it
smacks of the so-called American
“shirt sleeve” diplomacy. That tij's
view of the document is incorrect is
plainly shown by a careful reading.
The note is generally regarded as on 4
of the most scathing*documents issued
from the state department in many
years.
ZELAYA* HELD GUILTY.
The extraordinary feature of the let
ter is that it seerns to evidence an inten
tion on the part of the United States
to hold President Zelaya personally re
sponsible for the alleged torture and ex
ecution of the Americans, Cannon and
Groce, and exhibits the unique situation
of one government holding the chief
executive of another practically as a
common malefactor. Zelaya is branded
as a violator of solemn international con
ventions, a disturber of th enational and
international peace, a tyrant whose ad
ministration has been a blot upon the
name of good government.
Secretary Knox virtually announces the
recognition of the Nicaraguan revo
lutionist, declares it to be the convic
tion of the United States that the
revolution represents the sentiments of a
majority of the Nicaraguan people, and
that there is evidently no responsible
government with which the United States
can deal.
He, therefore, announces that alt par
ties will be held accountable for their
actions as affecting the interests of
Americans, and the peace of Central
America.
He further informs Senor Rodriguez
that while he has lost his diplomatic
quality, he may still serve as an “un
official” channel of communication with
the faction which he is regarded as rep
resenting.
This brings the crisis as near to the
status of war as it could be brought
by executive action without a defi
nite declaration of both houses of con
gress. which will convene next Monday.
Mr. Knox's letter in all but so many
words makes it plain that the action rep
resents the wish and attitude of all of
the Central American states with the sin
gle exception of Honduras, which is re
garded here as entirely dominated by
Zelaya. Mexico has all along shown its
sympathy with the United States in this
matter. .
Rodriguez Awaits Orders
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.— Having cabled
the Nicaraguan government that the
American secretary of state had last
night presented him with his passport,
Senor Felipe Rodriguez. charge de af
faires of Nicaragua in Washington, today
is awaiting instructions from President
Zelaya.
What further representation, if any. he
may make to the United States through
tht state department, where he will go
will depend entirely upon the orders which
he expected would be forthcoming dur
ing the day from President Zelaya.
Mr. Rodriguez would make no statement
today except that he received no further
information as to affairs in Nicaragua.
WOMEN BECOME FOOTPADS
AND ROB ANOTHER WOMAN
CINCINNATI, Dec. 2.—Highway rob
bery, hitherto, as far as Cincinnati rec
ords go, exclusively confined to men, was
invaded by the gentler sex this morning
when two women held up and robbed
Miss Norah McDonald, a young and pret
ty stenographer.
Miss McDonald was on her way home
from worn early this morning when she
was accosted by two strangers of her
own sex. who desired directions as .to
their way home. Miss McDonald was
giving them the information when one
of the women slipped- behind her and
pinioned her arms. Her accomplice skil
fully searched the victim and secured $25
