Will an extra session be necessary?
With only three more working days
after Wednesday, Important leglalatlon
Is (till uncompleted.
With dlsfranchlnemcnt out of the
way, houne and aepate are at variance
en some, of the more Important mcas-
uren. The split on anti-pans leglalatlon
ncems hopeless, though a truce may bo
made before the session ends.
House and senate are apart on the
Cnndler railroad bill. The senate has
passed the measure without Increase
of membership of the railroad com
mission. The house apparently wants
the live members. The Increased pow
ers of the commission, however. Is even
more desired than the two new mem
bers, and to get the law a compromise
will probably be reached.
The senate has yet to act on the gen
eral tax act and the appropriation bill.
The tax act will not get to the senate
before Thursday as a further hearing of
the committee is on Wednesday after
noon. A strong tight Is being made on
the gross Income tax and some other
provisions of the act. It remains to be
sten how much. If at all, the senate
will amend the bill as It came over
from the house.
The two bodies ore split on antl-lob.

tle prospect of getting together. The

SHEPARD ELECTED
CAPTAIN OF POLIC
Cliaries P. Connally Sue
ceeds Him As Ser
geant.
Sergeant James T. Shepard was
made captain and Detective Charles
P. Connally was .made aergrthnt at the
regular meeting of the board of police
commissioners Tuesday night. The va
cancles resulted from the creation of
the office of assistant chief of police,
to which Captain Jett was promoted.
Captain Shepard's appointment was
expected. He was the senior aergeant
on the force, of which he has been
member 16 years. He Is a general fa
vorite In the department, and Is know
as "Happy Jim" because of his genial
disposition.
Sergeant Connally’s promotion was
In the nature of a surprise to nearly
everybody. It was known that he had
taken the examinations, but most po
llcemen prefer being a detective to i
sergeant, owing to the chance of pick
Ing up rewards. Sergeant Connally
has been on thy force six years, serving
two yeare as patrolman, two att ser
geant and two as detective. Oddly
enough, It was his/ sergeant’s badge
that went to Captain Shepard when
the latter was appointed sergeant two
yenra ago last April, and now It prob
ably will go back to Itg former wearer.
Charges against four officers were
Investigated by the commissioners. —
J. Echols did not appear to answer
charge of drunkenness and Captain
Beavers said he had left the city. He
was dismissed from the force. The
charges against W. C. Dukes nnd
Pearzon were dismissed, ns were
those against W. M. Cason, but the
chief was directed to reprimand the
latter.
The commissioners decided to hava
a ward prepared where prisoners may
be treated by the city physician.

senate on anti-pass legislation.
The senate passed the Felder bill, the
house the Hall bill. Wednesday after-
noou the senate general Judiciary commit
tee by n vote of 5 to 2 declined to recom
mend tlio Hall bill, nnd. Ignoring Its past
notion, recoin trended for passage the Born
bill, the most drastic anti-pass legislation
ever offered In Georgia.
What the senate will do with this recom
mendation, after passing the Felder bill,
remains to be soon. But the tangle appa
ently means that no anti-pass leglslatla
will be enacted Into law st this session.

A race between love and determlna*
tlon, a chase of the second section of
a 60-mlle-an-hour train after the first
section, a dash across country of fa
ther after, daughter— i
And the culmination was tne mar
riage of Miss Julia Jackson Christian,
daughter of W. E. Christian, of Atlan
ta, and granddaugnter of General
Stonewall Jackson, to E. R. Preston, a
prominent lawyer of Charlotte, N. C.
And love won by ten minutes.
When the first announcement of the
exciting and romantic marriage of Mias
Christian and Mr. Preston was made.
It created a stir all over the South,
as both were descendants of the beet
the proud Southern aristocracy ever
knew and both were prominent In the
social circles of today.
Miss Christian Is the granddaughter
of Stonewall Jackson, and Mr. Preston
a descendant of the Randolph family
of Virginia. Their marriage after trav
eling hundreds of miles on the night
of August 8, was quite an event.
The Father's Chase.
Only recently has It been .learned,
however, that the father of the bride,
W. E. Christian, of Atlanta, was hot
In pursuit of the couple in the sec
ond section of their train and Just ten
minutes behind.
Miss-Christian boarded the first sec
tion of tho Washington and Southwest
ern vestibule limited of the Southern
railway at Atlanta at noon, August 8,
presumably to return to Charlotte. Mr.
Christian, who had always objected
to the marriage of her daughter to
Mr. Preston, suspected that what he
had feared was about to come to pass,
and he boarded the second section of
the same train.
When Miss Christian reached
Greenville. S. C., she was handed a
telegram from her father, telling her
that he was following on the second
section of the train, but ten minutes
behind her, and that she must get off
at Charlotte.
Instead, however, the telegram seem
ed to fire her with renewed determina
tion, and she wired her fiance to meet
her In Charlotte, which he did.
Nearing the Finish.
At Charlotte, the second section of
the train, bearing. Mr. Christian, was
bearing down upon her, and as the
Jackson home there was closed for the
summer, plans had to be made In a
hurry. When her father reached Char
lotte he sought his daughter In vain.
Miss Christian and Mr. Preston, sit
ting in an .observation car tearing
across country to Salisbury at the rate
of 60 miles an hour, were calmly plan
ning their wedding trip, white Mr.
Christian walked back and forth in
Charlotte, outwitted and helpless.
The ceremony was hurriedly per
formed shortly beforo midnight, and
tho romance wa* culminated with Love
victorious after a struggle and a race
that will be memorable In the history of
the families of the Randolphs and the*
Stonewall Jackions,
Mr. Christian is assistant general
passenger agent of the Seaboard- Air
Line In Atlanta, and one of the best
known railroad men In the state.
ATLANTA'S WEALTH
MAKE COMPTROLLER
■ PAY OWN CLERK
'The comptroller general of Geor
gia make* more money than any other
■tate official. His salary as comptrol
ler onil his fees from the Insurance
commissioner’s place amotint to *10,-
000.”
That Is a statement made by Senator
Steed In a meeting of the senate ap-
f troprlatlon committee Monday morn-
ng, with the resolution to Increase the
salary of the clerk to the Insurance
commissioner *600 under consideration.
"I do not deny that the comptroller
general Is one of the most efficient of
ficials Georgia has ever had. I further
concede that Ills clerk. Captain Bob
Erwin, should have more pay.” he con
tinued. “But I do not believe, gentle
men, that this additional pay should
enmd out of the money going Into the
state treasury. With the large sum
accruing to the comptroller general
from Insurance fees, as Insuranen com
missioner, I bellevo he should pay his
clerk out of his own pocket."
This statement apparently changed
the views of a majority of tho commit
tee, us sentiment previously appeared
favorable to the resolutkm. The com
mittee, therefore, declined to act fav
orably on It.
