TEDFORD IS IN HOT WATER.
Ills PLAY ADAPTED FROM MISS
€■ ARRISOVS STORY.
Kow She Want* to Know Why It YVn*
Done Witliont OlviiiK Her Credit
for It—Tedford tdinlt* the Adap
tation and Say* Ha* Never
Claimed Hl* Piny Wa* Original.
Now Garrison 1* to lie Heard
From Asm in.
Atlanta, Aug. I.—Linton Tedford. so
ciety leader, clubman and incidentally
playwright, is is hot water. He is pur
sued by a woman. Miss Theodosia Pick
eting Garrison, magazine writer of New
York, who threatens to make him unlim
ited trouble, and all because Mr. Tedford
\jppd one of her stories as a basis for a
one-act comedy without her leave and
without giving her any credit whatever.
Miss Garrison was the author of
Ploriette that appeared in Munsey's Mag
azine of lasi May, entitled “In the Elev
enth Hour,” of which “Hearts and Flow
ers" was a dramatization. It seems that
Mr. Tedford never secured the consent of
Miss Garrison to use her story, and the
result Is that the latter has been conduct
ing an investigation by wire as to why
her property should be adapted without
the accustomed royalty.
Mr. Tedford acknowledges it was an
adaptation. He says he has never
claimed originality for the play, nnd
states that as the dramatization was
made purely for amateurs, without hope
of monetary gain. Miss Garrison has lit
tle. if any, grounds for complaint.
Mr. Tedford said that “Hearts and
Flowers" was written to be put on as a
curtain raiser to “Bibi," the amateur en
tertainment that took place at the Grand
several months ago.
“There were four people in the original
caste." he said. * all of whom clearly un
derstood that the play was an adaption
and not entirely original. In fact the
young lady who was to take the leading i
role went over the magazine s-tory with |
me and selected the imrts of it that we
wanted. When the play was written up
in the papers as my production. T told
the eitv editor of the Constitution that it
was not altogether original with me and
<ha* I had got the plot from a Mun
sey storiette.
• Had I dramatized Miss Garrison s
story with a view of putting it on pro
fessionally or ever selling it. I certainly
would have secured her consent before
doing so. The only mistake I see I have
made is in not requiring those who had
charge of advertising of “Hearts and
Flowers" to give Miss Garrison proper
credit for her work, as it is perhaps to
her and not to myself whatever success
the play may have attained, is dua”
Mr. Julian Harris, managing editor of
the Constitution, but formerly city editor,
cava he does not remember if Mr. Tedford
told him of the dramatization of “The
Eleventh Hours.”
“He may have told me.” said Mr. Har
ris. “but if he did, I do not remember it.”
Miss Garrison is yet to be heard from.

BAKER AGAIN SENTENCED*
Atlanta Wife Murderer Must Die on
fin I low* 4n. % Z'Z.
Atlanta. Aug. 3.—For the second time
James T>. Raker, wife murderer, was ocn
teneed to-day to die on the gallows. Judge
Candler fixed Aug. 22 as the day for the
banging. There ran be no appeal, but
Raker’s lawyer has asked the Pardon
Roord to recommend that his sentence be
commuted to life imprisonment.
Raker took the death sentence without
the least emotion, appearing to be inter
ested by the proceedings, ns n spectator,
rather than ns principal. Baker shot and
killed his wife fit the home of a friend
on Larkin street, about five months ago.
There were several persons present,
among them, Charles Pittman. At his
trial Raker put in a queer defense, the
argument being that he killed his wife
entirely by Occident, his purpose being
to kill Pittman. His defense, had it been
successful, would have saved his neck.

UNIVERSITY 111 LLF.NTIN.
Will Contain All tlie Latest College
Information.
Athene. Ga.. Aug. 1. —Some time since,
the advisability of issuing o University
of Georgia alumni bulletin at stated in- 1
tervals, wae discussed. The matter is
now being revived and there is a strong j
probability that the plan will be adopted.
The idea is to issue* this bulletin, filled
with the latest information concerning
the university and its affairs, and send
it to different alumnies throughout this
and other states.
The bulletin will probably be Issued for
the first time next month. The first ie
sue will contain the most interesting fea
tures of the past commencement, includ
ing the different class reunions and the
names of those who attended these gath
erings.
The next bulletin is to be issued during
the fall season. It will contain all n
-of the opening of the university,
its condition and the progress of the work
for its advancement.
The issuing of this bulletin will be un
der the supervision of Chancellor Hill.
The idea is trf keep the alumni thoroughly
informed as to what ie being done nt the
university’, and to hold them in touch
with this institution. The keynote of
the campaign for the advancement of the
university’s interests w'iil be the constant
efforts to place the alumni in the front
rank of the workers.

I J roN|iectM llrlfght In Oconee.
Athens, Ga.. Aug. I.—On account of the
severe and long continued spell of dry
weather, the farmers of Oconee county
suffered heavily last year. They were
especially unfortunate with their cotton
crop—more so than many* other counties
in the state. Hence they’ devoted them
selves largely to small grain, this sea
son. As u result, the wheat crop is in
better shape, as regards quantity and
quality, than was ever known before, and
the corn crop is especially good on Ihe
uplands. What cotton has been planted
is doing well. The Oconee farmers, who
started the season without a dollar in
their pockets, are much encouraged over
the prospect.
After Thirty Year*.
Athens, Ga.. Aug. I.—Mr. William Tope
of Texas, is in the city. Thirty years
ago Mr. Pope left Athens. He had lost
everything, he possessed in the vvar, and
went West to seek his fortune. He has
made a success in Texas, has accumulated
considerable property and has married.
Recently he felt a longing to see his old
home, and, for the first time in thirty
years, he is once more back In his old
heme. He can hardly believe this to be
the seme place. All of his immediate rel
atives are dead, the house where ho was
reared is gone, and in place of a small
village with merely a fc%v straggling
homes, he finds a small but flourishing
city.

pounds, suffering great pains, and when
down could not get up without assistance.
After being at your Springs one week I
noticed a change for the better; but, oh!
what a change was wrought in me after
a stay of six weeks. I was entirely cured.

* * My wife suffered five months of
the most excruciating pains from rheu
matism in her feet and limbs. She tried
every known remedy to the medical fra
ternity, but secured no benefit. I carried
her to Suwanee Springs, and had to help
her in and out of the carriage. In fifteen
days she could get about without my as
sistance, and to-day is sound and well—a
living witness to the curative powers of
Suwanee Spring Water. * * These wa
