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. hying legislation, with apparently lit tle prospect of getting together.

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. DR. T,0, POWELL ILL MAY NOI RECOVER Special to The Georgina. Mllledgevllle, Go..

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. CROSS COUNTRY RUN ENDED IN CAPTURE The pedestrian feats of Tom Longboat, the Indian runner; the foot races of the nn- clents, and other exciting chases, aro shoved to the rear by the cross-country run after four negroes Saturday, In which Coun ty Officer Butler ami two dogs starred, with Officers Walters and Cheshlrs pushing for highly honorable mention. Near Piedmont park, the officers “Jump ed'’ four presumably vagrant negroes, who, without cause, took to the woods. Lieuten ant Cheshire's two amateur dogs of tonder ngo took up the scent nnd started off. Offi cers Butler and Walters, who had, dis mounted, were not far behind. Lieutenant Cheshire was forced to enrs for the horses, and started out to head ’em off. A mile run over hill and vale resulted In the capture of three negroes, who were Immediately handcuffed. Yonder goes another." cried Officer But- ns the dogs resumed their baying, For 7 miles he ran. sometimes In sight the dogs and sometimes merely by sound. house. posit his coat, but not his gun, ... rate he again took up the chase, the longest In the chronicles of the county policemen. On the outskirts of Decatur the negro fell exhausted, while tho county officer, with little ado. brought him to Jail by street car. Officers Cheshire and Walters had al ready lodged their prisoners. 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.
