Washington, Nov. lb.—With the startling declaration that the entire !water power of the United States it [rapidly 'passing under monopolist! [control, Gifford riucliot, formerlj government chief forester, today told jibe delegates attending the Nationa .Conservation Congress, which is now in session in this city, that stern methods must be adopted to off-set this tendency. This address was ac cepted as a deflan'e to those who would lose Federal control and ex- t< nd the powers of granting water power prl\lieges, to the individual states. Mr. PInchot declared that the de velopment of» water power, only un derproper safeguards, was the great est necessity. He then produced gov ernment figures to show that the concentration of control had nearly doubled within the past two years. He said that the concentration of •entcr-power control was increasing faster than power development, and lie said It meant the private control of the necessities of life, ultimately. Pinchot forced hefere the Conven tion the minority report of the committee on water power rights. Former Secretary of the Interiot Walter Fisher, who is President of the Congress, permitted a suspension of the rules, for n floor discussion of the water power question, despite the protests of scores who favored a ombination of control by the nation and states.

ELOPERS ARRESTED KMPPIRGi bC ; Atlanta, Nov. 19.—It must pretty tough to b e arrested lor kid napping, when all you planned was an honest and romantic elopement. But that’s exactly what has happen ed to John West and William Taylor. The trouble was that they intend* ed to marry two pretty sisters, one aged only fourteen years and the other only 17, whose father thought they wore entirely too young to know their own minds. The two pretty girls are Misses Minnie and Clara Smith, of Athens, daughters of Cicero M. Smith. Mr. Smith has Instituted the kidnapping charges, and says he will prosecute the cases to the limit of the l* w . He holds that when two young men ®a- vfegle two Innocent and inexperien ced ?irls as young ns his daughters into such an elopement escapade. It is taking an unfair advantage of a girl too young to realize the serious consequences. The gills were arrested the min ute they got to Atlanta, so that they never met the prospective grooms here, and the wedding never took place. , Both girla have entirely given up the idea of matrimony, and are de lighted to return home with their parents. There seems to be grave question under the law, as whether or not Mr. Smith can make a kidnapping charge stick, as it appears that though tho young ladies have now repented their elopement plan, they came to Atlanta of their own will and accord with the honest, though perhaps rash intentior of being mar ried. Saved His Foot. H. D. Ely. of Bantam. O., suffered from horrible ulcer on his foot for four years.

FAMILY AVOIDS SERIOUS SICKNESS By Being Constantly Supplied With Thedford’s Black-Draught. McDufl, Va.—“I suffered lor several years," says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, ol this place, "with sick headache, and stomach trouble. Ten years ago a friend told me to try Thedford’s Black-Draught, which I did, and I found it to be the be6t family medi cine for young and old. I keep Black-Draught on band all the time now, and when my children leel a Otie bad, they ask «e for a tiss*, tad it does them moregeed than any medicine Siey ever tried. We never have a long spell of sick ness in our family, since we commenced using Black-Draught."

Geta GAME WARDEN IS STRIPPED Of Uio Powor of .\p|N>in(iug Game Wardens in the Counties—Unus ual State of Affairs in Ga. Atlanta, Nov 19.—Of all thc de natured political jobs and empty honors ever handed a man irv Geor gia, the prize lemon of them all seems to have been handed to the Honorable Charles L. Davis, now state game commissioner. If no individual has been to blame then Mr. Davis, has been the victim j cruel circumstances. The job of game | commissioner is one that carries on- jly a small salary, hut is of very great importance because the state j commissioner presumably, has the authority to appoint all the countv wardens throughout the state. It Is what mtsht be termed in the strict ly honest sense of the word, the j “patronage” of tho office. : Notf so sure was Mr. Davis that he would have this important duty to perform that he laid serious ten tative plans for the organization of a splendid state wide force of war dens, his own appointee*, working under his direction and carrying out his ideas. Instead he has had to swallow, whether he likes it or not, the whole j series of Mercer appointments, which hold for practically the whole I time Mr. Davis is in office: which j were made by Mr. Mercer Just before ! he stepped down and out, and which j Mr. Davis, apparently cannot change Club at the Lake.
