Fleading that her flance be kept In Ignorance of her plight, pretty Louise Greenway, a young Birmingham girl, who pays her wedding to n well known young Birmingham man is scheduled for an early date, today was .placed on probation by Recorder Broyles under ' the protecting influences of the Men and Religion Forward Movement. The girl came to Atlanta a few days ago to And a position in order to raise funds for her wedding trousseau, and last night fell into tne tolls. Her conduct caused her to be taken into custody by the police, and this morning --he was arraigned before Re corder Broyles. Police Chief Beavers made a plea that the girl be given an other chance, and Judge Broyles turned her over to the Men and Religion For ward Movement. "Please don't let my sweetheart know about this—l wouldn't have him to know it for the world,” pleaded the girl as she wrung her hands despairingly. ”If he should find out that I've been arrested, he would break the engage ment. and my love would be blasted. Oh, I couldn't stand that.” The girl declined to divulge the iden tity of her fiance. Rev. (1. R. Buford, of the Mei) and Religion Forward Movement, cajwd at the police station and imtnedlntjrfy took charge of the girl, promising to aid her tn every' way possible. Her Atlanta escapade, she admitted, ’ probably will cause a postponement of the wedding, even if it does not break the engage ment. The girl Is 22 years old.

In ail that period of time there were but throe short years—-the longest of Judge Eason’s life, however —in which he was loose from the seats of the mighty entirely. In the smashup of three years ago, Colonel Eason got left off the prison commission, where for years he had played a creditable part—and It made him very sad. He immediately began reaching for something else; and a few weeks age he landed it, in the shape of the Mcßae judgeship. Before Judge Eason was prison com missioner he was solicitor general of one of the biggest judicial circuits in the state, and, therefore, he Is amply qualified for his new position. Judge Eason expects to hold on to his present job all the rest of his life, unless he sees something better, and the chance of getting looks good. He is immensely popular throughout Georgia, and every time he goes after something he "most generally gets it.” R. D. Billiard, a new member-elect of the house of representatives, is an Atlanta visitor today. Mr. Bullard hails from Campbell county, and will be one of the younger members of the next legislature. He is modest and says he is not corning to the house with an intent to “cut any unusual capers.” Unless his reputation belies him, however, Bullard, of Campbell, likely will be one of the most influential men in the house to be assembled next June.

I Bi THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1912. iment station in Griffin, the suggestion . again has been advanced that the sta- | tion be moved from Griffin and located | at Athens, where it might be made an . immediate part of the State College of I Agriculture. While there is much in the suggestion to commend it, perhaps, ft is not likely that it ever will be proved—or that it might be moved, in perfect fairness to Griffin. , If it were proposed to move tlie pres- | ent station to Athens, which is in northeast Georgia, and establish a sim ilar station somewhere in southwest Georgia, t he legislature doubtless would give the double suggestion great con sideration, ami It might go through. As , it stands, however, the likely i will remain In Griffin. As to the succession to Mr. Calvin— however that is accomplished, and who ever lands the plum, it should be made without log-rolling or undue Inside po litical pull. If any one office in the state should seek the man, it is the office Martin Calvin now holds, and which lie so soon will vacate. Whether the selection will be made along ideal lines, however, remains to he seen. Already there are rumors of "log-rolling" abroad. G. R. Duke, justice of the peace of the Dusley district in Lowndes county, has decided to retire from office, and rest for tlie remainder of his life upon his well earned and highly honorable laurels. Squire Duke is known to fame in his end of the state as "the marrying jus tice of the peace.” He proudly claims ' to have married more couples than any other justice of the peace in the state; and he admits, unblushingly, that had it not been for the very great pleasure and satisfaction he derived from mak ing two hearts beat as one—or words to that effect —he long ago would have given up the justice of the peace busi ness. His produest boast Is that he suc ceeded in marrying, once upon a time, a quartet of sisters to a quartet of brothers -and that, indeed, Is some record 1 if any justice of the peace in the United States lias a record like that. Square Duke never heard of him. The veteran official is getting along in years now, but as he rides around his county and sees tlie scores of happy couples lie married, both of late years and in the long ago, he feels that he has played a fine part in the history making of Lowndes and surrounding counties. Judge John W. Maddox, former con gressman from the Seventh district, and present Judge of the superior court of the Rome circuit, is an Atlanta vis itor today. Judge Maddox is completely out of politics nowadays, save in so far as his judicial position keeps him in. There have been rumors that the judge ex pects to resign soon, but he denies any knowledge of such intention upon his part. CAPT. J. W. ENGLISH IS HEAD OF GEORGIA CHILDREN’S SOCIETY Captain James W. English has been elected president of tlie Georgia Chil dren's Home society, to succeed ex- Governor Northen, resigned. Albert Howell, Jr., has been made a director of the society, and at a special meet ing held last night was named chairman of the society's executive committee. Besides Mr. English and Mr. How ell, there were present at the meeting W. J. Harris, W. D. Beatie, George R Donovan. Howard L. Crumley. Charl ton G. Ogburn, Fred Houser and Robert B. McCord. Following the plans laid down by Su perintendent McCord, it was decided to extend the work of the society, through the agency of districts, with headquar ters in Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Co lumbus and Savannah. FALL FROM TRAIN FATAL TO FARMER NEAR HARLEM HARLEM, GA., Dee. 4.—Charles C. Reeves, while alighting from an east bound passenger train at Dearing, four miles from Harlem, fell and fractured his skull. He was carried immediately to the hospital In Augusta, where everything possible was done for him without avail, and he died. Mr. Reeves, a farmer, resided about seven miles south of Harlem. His body was brought here today from Augusta and interred in the cemetery’ at Silver Run church, four miles south of town. Mr. Reeves was about 75 years of age. When the accident took place he was returning from a visit to a daugh ter in Athens, Ga. FEEL BULLY!

Dec. 4. —If Deputy United States .Marshal J. P. Murray had been a little late in serving a restrain ing order on the stockholders of the At- | lantic States Life Insurance Company' yesterday, it is probable that the entire , company would have been dissolved. A meeting of the stockholders was called for 12 o’clock, when the proposition wa« made to liquidate and to divide What was left of the money among the stockholders, but a short time before | the hour the president of the company was served with a copy of the injunc tion granted by Judge Speer.

The injunc tion prevents any’ disposal of the as sets until after the Kimball case is set tled.

TRIES BLACKMAIL TO GET A REDUCTION IN COAL NEW’ YORK, Dec. 4.—Members of the Brooklyn Coal exchange are per turbed by the action taken by an un known man to secure a reduction in the high cost of coal. A letter was sent to each dealer stating that he was re sponsible for the high cost of, coal and that unless the price was imme diately lowered letters of a compromis ing nature signed in hie name would be sent to some well known society woman in the borough. undigested and fermenting food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry off the constipated waste matter and poison from the bow els.
