2 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. ATLANTA'S STREET RAILWAY. Franchise Matters Still Bothering Local Anthoritles. Atlanta. Aug. I. Street railway fran chises again occupied the attention of the Board cf County Commissioners to-day.

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.

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.
