She Went Out For Walk and Married Jesse Cobb in Spite of Mother’s Warning That She Might Be Left a Widow. Governor Replies to Criticism of His Recent Card. Governor Hoke Smith gave to the press Saturday a statement concerning the welfare of railroads under hla ad ministration. This statement Is supple mental to the one be issued last Sat urday, and Is a direct reply to criticism of that card by President Hanson, of the Central railroad. The governor accuses Major Hannon of extraordinary retrenchment, and shows that while the Central's Income fell ofT only $400,000, the major, by dls charging 1,000 men reduced expenses $800,000. The statement follows: Governor Smith's Statement. ••Lust Saturday I furnished n ntatement to the press giving the returns to the railroad commission made by eight of the principal railroad companies of their net earnings In Georgia for the year ending July 1, 1908. ••I compared their net earning* for their Inst fiscal year with their net earnings for tbi* year ending July 1, 1907, and showed their net losses In Georgia were only one- tenth ss largo as those of the railroad com panies of the United States as a whole.

"President Hanson discussed the financial reports of the Central railroad alone.

Miss Word Wednesday aft ernoon outwitted them all when she ran away and romantically married Jesse C. Cobb, a railroad man and a son of former Justice Cobb, of the su preme court. The plans for the elopement were well laid and went thru without a hitch. Wednesday afternoon Miss Word explained that she wanted to go out for a stroll, saying that she would be back shortly. So cleverly did she man age her end of the little game that no suspicion was aroused, and she left the house as calmly as tho ahe had even no thought of her fiance. Out of sight of the house.

The friends of the two companies de clare that if the bills are passed the re sult will be disastrous to the state, while the companies will simply move their establishments out of North Caro lina and do business elsewhere. So potent was this argument that the senate finally modified ita original bills thru Its committee. The house stood pat, however, and will pass tho drastic measures, the leaders asserting that the lost Democratic state platform prom ised this relief to the people, and that the party pledge must be kept. If the American Tobacco Company Is forced out of business In this state, the real sufferers will be Durham, where the largest cigarette and cigar tobacco manufacturing plant In the world Is located^and Winston, where Is located the biggest plug and fine-cut tobacco plants.

I’m married now.” • It was the repetition of the old, fa miliar story—Cupid hud added another victory to his list of triumphs without regard for obstacles. Mr. and Mrs. Cobb then drove to Mr. Cobb’s boarding house, 97 Grant-st., where they remained until Friday, when they went to Athens to visit the home of Justice Cobb. It Is presumed the usual parental forgiveness will be forthcoming, altho it Is understood Mrs. Word has not yet become reconciled.

I-'lagrantly usurious- practices are charged against eight Atlanta loan es tabllnhments In an Injunction suit filed with Judge L. S. Roan, of the superior court, Saturday morning, by George D. Wilmont. an employee of the Southern railroad. The Arms, who are charged not only with demanding usury, but also with violating the provisions of the loan law with regard to furnishing the borrower with a duplicate of their entries of interest payments nnd renewals and with violating the criminal statute, which prohibits the charging of more than 6 per cent a month on loans, are Stephen A. Ryan & Co.. King Brothers A Co., A. N. Thom. P. P. Jackson. W. K. Archer. D. H; Tolman. Setae A Fife Investment Company and A. R. King. The story of tho financial straits to which the loan companies are alleged to havo brought Mr. Wilmont Is pa thetic. He states that for flve years he has borrowed various sums from these concerns and that he has paid and Is still paying Interest. In some coses, as high as 300 per rent, until now his total monthly interest payments are more than hie monthly wages, which are be tween *S0 and *60: that he has a fam ily to support and Is entirely dependent upon Ills wages, nnd that the Arms are now threatening to present the assign ments of his wages to the railroad com pany. slid that If they do. he will lose nls position. Loan Companies Cited. On this showing Judge Roan granted a temporary reatmlnlng order against the loan Arms and ordered them to show cause on March 6. before Judge Pendleton, why they should not pay* over to the plaintiff all money they are alleged to have usurious)*- received from him. The petitioner also says that the firms, when they got hla assignments of wages, promised not to use them. He charges that the assignments are Illegal and a mere scheme to avoid the usurv laws.

King on *30. charged him >108 Interest for three years, and now claims a balance of Jlo. The Attorneys- Opinions. John A. Boykin filed the petition for Mr. Wilmont. Mr. Boykin states that he believes there are no less than 200 railroad men In Atlanta who have been ground down by loan concerns In the manner charged by Mr. Wilmont. Mr. Boykin Is very much wrought up over the wrongs he says loan companies commit upon emplovhes. He says their rates of Interests are clearly Illegal In a majority of rases and that they operate also In deflonce of the penal statute of 1908, making It a misdemeanor punish able by line and Imprisonment, to charge more than 6 per cent a month. Mr. Boykin thinks that public senti ment should become aroused over this matter. "Why, one man I knew." said Mr. Boykin, "got Involved with these loan men. finally low hie Job. went to Chat tanooga. and not being able to get work there, committed suicide."

Mlee Fannie Belle Wal ton, of Eatonton, a few weeks ago am putated a railroad engineer’s .lex ant! did It so successfully that the engineer upon his recovery, presented her with a handsome gold watch. It was an unusual feat, one of cour age, and denoted a degree of self-pos session possessed by few tnen. And yet the announcement came as no great surprise to the many friends of Miss Walton here, who know her Intimately. Miss Walton Is the youngest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert J. Walton, of this city. She haa Just graduated with high honors from a nurses' train ing school In Temple. Tex., prior to which time she won a scholarship to Bellovuo Hospital, and took a special course In surgery. A few weeks ago Miss Walton re sponded to a railroad wreck call. She saw, at a glance, .that a surgeon was needed much more than a nurse; and Immediately she appointed herself to the unpleasant task of supplying the deficiency In surgical assistance. One of tha engineers was found In terrible agony. It was apparent that his leg should be amputated If hla life was to be saved. If no one else can. I will,” Miss Wal ton announced, to the great astonish ment of those around. Then the plucky young Georgia glrj went to her work like a veteran with the knife, and. without hesitation or fear, performed the difficult operation. The leg was amputated, It la said; as quickly and as skillfully as the In structors under whom she graduated could have done It.

At 7 o'clock, two hours before time for court to convene, the gallery was parke I nnd the downpour to tho lower floor ensued. At 8 o’clock all seals were gone and men and women who had come for miles to gain ndmlsslon to the court room were turned away. Ne sente were left. The frail widow In black and the lit tle golden-haired boy were again the center of attraction on the state’a "Ids of the house, but the scene shifted somewhat to the white-haired man across the room. Cooper Expected to Talk. It had become generally understo-xl that Colonel Duncan Brown Cooper would go on the stand flrst nnd for Hie flrst time since November 9 would the lips of defendants be unsealed and the world would know the Cooper ver sion of the tragedy. Each 'men-her in the audience leaned and listened every moment to seo and hear how the de fendant would meet this, the supreme*!, test, of hla long and eventful career. At 9:20 o’clock two of counsel for defense entered tho court room and nsked Indulgence of the Judge for fur ther conference of thirty minutes. This was granted. Robin Coopsr Testifies. Contrary to expectation, the flrst wlt- nfs- nut on the stand was Robin J. Cooper, the man who fired the shots that killed Senator i 'armack. Every one had been expecting Colonel Cooper to be the next witness. Robin Cooper took tho stand shortly before 11 o’clock. Prior to that time a flutter of excitement went thru the court room whan It became noised about that Robin Cooper hail left the Jail In a closed carriage In the cus tody of Sheriff Borum and accompanied by General Washington, his attorney.
