COOTTOWT
RIGID METHODS
IN CITY WORK
Board Tires of Having Paving
Torn Up for Sewers and
Track Changes.
Public Improvements In Atlanta will
bo subjected to an entirely new work*
ing plan as a result of the reorganiza
tion of city and county governments
on January 1, according to a majority
of members of the Pulton commission.
Aware that the cltj and counts’ have
been playing at cross purposes and
confusion In .street and paving work
has resulted, Shelby Smith, who is
slated for the chairmanship of the
county board, said today the county
will adopt a new plan for future work
and will adhere to It rigidly.
What Plan Provides.
According to Mr. Smith, a resolution
embodying the plan will be adopted at
the first regular meeting of the board.
This plan will be submitted to the cltj
as a working basis.
The county’s 1913 program will pro
vide that no paving be authorized by
the commission within the city limits
until the city and the street car com
pany have furnished written statements
asserting that all the sewer and track
work has been finished.
“We are tired of building pavement
in the city," said Mr. Smith, “to have
it torn up by' the city for sewers
or the street car company for some
slight change in the tracks."
Change in County Board.
Whether the board will reach an
agreement with the Woodward admin
istration Is the question now bother
ing the commissioners. According to
Mr. Smith, no member of the com
mission has conferred with Mr. Wood
ward or his representatives. Mr. Smith
said he didn't know whom Woodward
will appoint to head the street and
sewer committees.
On January 1. H. E. W. Palmer leaves
the county board and Tom Wynne takes
his place. This change In the personnel
is expected to shift the majority and
what is known as the Smith faction will
gain power. It is expected also that
Shelby Smith will succeed Clifford L.
Anderson us chairman.
"If the city can’t agree to Borne rea
sonable scheme of working street im
provements," said Smith, “the board
will turn its attention to roads In the
county outside of the city."

CLEGHORN CLAN
SEEKS REVENGE
Youth Named as Sweetheart of
Marchman Girl Shot at by
Her Kin.
ASHBURN, GA.., Dec, 9. —With armed
men rapidly gathering at Raineys Set
tlement, the whole of Amboy district Is
on the verge of feud warfare today as
the result of the shooting of Tan Cleg
horn by W. F. Cochran, and bloodshed
is feared as a result of this new turn in
the Minnie Marchman death mystery.
Cleghorn, slightly wounded in the
head by Cochran's bullet, is aiming his
kinsmen with shotguns and has sworn
that he will even his score. The latter,
released oa ssou bond, when it was
learned Cleghorn was not hurt serious
ly, has announced that he will defend
himself and is rallying his friends.
According to the story told by tiie
authorities. < 'leghorn and his brother
met Cochran, brother-in-law of the
Marchman girl, in the road near his
home yesterday and threatened to whip
him for hi;-' persistence in investigating
the fact' surrounding the girl's death.
Both ('leghorns climbed out of their
buggy and attacked Cochran, who
knocked one of them down. As Tan
Cleghorn turned and fled Cochran fired
two bullets after him. One went
through < 'leghorn's hat and the other
Inflicted u. scalp wound. Cleghorn fell
as If dead and Cochran gave himself up
to Deputy Sheriff O. B. Harmon.
While the man was still In jail mem
bers of the Cleghorn family began
gathering from all parts of Turner
county. It had been rumored widely
that Cochran had killed his man out
right.
With this new development, feeling
over the countryside, which has been
repressed for weeks while the investi
gation of the girl’s mysterious death
had been going on. has broken and the
authorities look for trouble if members
of the two clans meet.
Cochran was released on bail this
morning He immediately went to his
home and began preparations to defend
himself and his family against any at
tack of the Cleghorns.
Cochran Instigated the investigation
of Minnie Marchman's death, and all
along Insisted on a thorough probe.
Following the death. Cochran exhibited
much feeling toward Cleghorn and
seemed bent on prosecuting him. He
had never publicly made any threats
against his life, however.
The girl bad confided to her sister
in-law that she and Cleghorn were en
gaged to be married, but this Cleghorn
denied the day he showed himself in
his home community, following the
search for him. Cleghorn and the girl
had “gone together" for quite a while,
but the young man insists they were
merely friends and that he had never
loved the girl.
Believing that she had been poisoned,
the dead girl’s stomach was analyzed
in Atlanta, but no trace of poison was
found.

Above Ail, Don't Ask Him if
This Is His First Visit to
America.
By Alphonse Deßigeur
Sir Thomas Lipton, the man who put
the sell in Ceylon, is to be in our midst
Wednesday, and my phone has been so
busy with questions as to etiquette in
the matter of noblemen arid near-no
blemen that I’ve decided to publish the
official rules.
Atlanta folk get op very well .with
Ty Cobb, and made no bad. breaks when
Roosevelt and Taft ciuue down, but it
lias been a long time since a sir paid
us a visit and a lot of men who can
devour their way straight through a
nine-course dinner and make the knives
and forks come out even without put
ting them inside their opera vests are
in doubt about whether to call our
guest of honor “Colonel,” “Mr. Sir Lip
ton” or plain “Tom, old man.”
But it isn’t difficult to learn how to
treat a sir. It is f>est to adhere to
the customs of the country in this re
spect. In Tennessee one says, “Well,
it's about my time of day. How about
you?” In Kentucky they say “Colonel,
you and gen’ral will have another,
won't you'.’ I’ve ordered ’em.” And in
Atlanta you just step tip boldly and
say "I’ve ordered a book full of drink
tickets on every club in town. Come
on. Sir Tommy, and name your choice."
One of Nature's Noblemen.
But do not —oh, do not. under any
circumstances—grow facetious and say
“Sir Thomas, won't you sample a bit
of cold tea?”
One must never talk shop, you know
Oh. no! It really isn’t done. But any
way that’s the way to treat a noble
man, from king down to jack. They’re
all gentlemen of capacity.
Not that Sir Thomas is exactly a
nobleman, except one of nature’s va
riety. which we all are, except the man
who took my umbrella Saturday night,
and k wouldn’t say he is crooked, but
i I’ll bet the cigars he could hide be-
I hind Hie handle, which was made es
pecially to hang over bars. But Si.
Thomas is a square sport and a good
loser, which he ought to be. having had
ten years or more steady practice
A Knight for Every Day.
Sir Thoma- isn't exactly a nobleman
in the British sense of the word. No
blemen originated when William the
Conqueror came across the channel
witli ninetj million men. according to
the family trees of present generations
whose folks were with William.
No. Thomas Lipton was just a plain,
red-headed Irishman who started in
tiie tea business, discovered advertis
ing. became a millionaire and was hon
ored by his country.
When a man does that over here we
call hint a trust, draw cartoons of him,
fine him $29.1'09,0CT and let him take
what lie wants out of our weekly pay
and hand us back tile,envelope.
But in England they make him a
I knight, which pleases him just as much
I and costs the consumer less. When a
I man is made a knight in England they
I -.ill him "Sir." When he makes a
night of it in Atlanta they call him
I down. It sv ins trier.■ ought to be some
j connect ion betw -eii tliu-e statements,
Imu it s ha'-d to tigui ■ ut.

Outlook for Organized Labori
Under Democratic Rule Is
Bright. Say Delegates.
"There is a bright outlook f<?r organ
ized labor under a Democratic admin
istration," said James O’Connell, vice
: resident of the American Federation;
f Labor, today. Mr. O’C.jnnell, whose!
home is in Washington, came to At
lanta at the . eqtv st of President Sam
uel Gompers, to be present at the first
S"i tlona! convention of labor ever held
—the Southeastern Labor congress—
which met this afternoon at the eapitol.
"The Democratic party included all
of organized labor’s planks in its plat
form." continued Mr. O’Connell, “and
there is no reason to doubt they will be
carried out in practice. One of these
will be the creation of a department of
labor with a secretary in the cabinet. I
have heard Congressman William Wil
son, of Pennsylvania, spoken of as the
most probable man for this place. His
term as congressman expires soon. You
may remember that Mr. Wilson spoke
in Atlanta some time ago.
No Fear of a Panic.
“Don’t let any of this panic talk wor
ry you. Nothing the Democratic ad
ministration will do will injure the
business of America and there will be
no factories shut down, no men thrown
out of work.
“The period of panics or depressions
grows shorter every year, and even
should there be a season of financial
depression it would not last long
enough for the country to feel it. Be
sides. the time is past when Wall Street
can close down industries. It may de
press speculative stocks, but that is
all.”
Nearly 200 delegates were present
when the convention opened at 2
o'clock. The visitors were welcomed by
Jerome Jones, editor of The Journal of
Labor; James L. Mayson, city attorney,
and S. B. Marks, president of the State
Federation of Labor.
spices, became Sir Thomas. Afterward,
when he found there were so many
knights up and down Piccadilly that
they had to have special traffic ordi
nances, Sir Thomas went back to the
late queen, registered a protest, and
was made a baronet. A baronet is a
little baron. It's like being on the gov
ernor’s staff, conspicuous but not re
munerative. But it's better than being
Just a mere knight, for as some merry
wag wrote to “Punch,” there's a knight
for every day.
So don’t call him “My Lord” or “Your
Lordship” or pull any of that stuff.
“Sir Thomas" is the correct salutation,
just plain “Sir Thomas.” Do not feel
a delicacy in addressing him by his
front name on short ‘acquaintance. In
England, last names are used for but
lers and housekeepers, you know. Why,
the king, God bless him, has forgotten
he ever had a surname, though he has
enough front and middle names to sup
ply an orphan asylum. And it will not
be necessary to remain uncovered in
his presence unless you're in the par
lor.
Talk of Yachting, of Course.
But of course you'll want to chat
with Sir Thomas and make him feel
at home, and being forbidden to talk
tea you’ll fall back on yachts and
yachting. Sir Thomas is collecting
views on yachting from several inland
cities.
So you might ask him whether he
ever gets seasick and what lie takes for
it, what he thinks of American yacht
ing rules (If no ladies are present), and
whether he prefers steam or gasoline
for Facing purposes. You might refer
casuallj’ to the skipper and his assist
ant, the scupper, or speak in an off
hand way of splicing the spinnaker
abaft the to’gallant lee carburator.
If he doesn’t grow enthusiastic over
that tell him about your ocean trip and
how the captain said you were the best
sailor he ever saw. He’d be awfully in
terested in your trip.
But don't, don’t ask him If this is
his first, visit to America. For he has
been over several distinct and separate
times just to get one piece of silver
ware, and he hasn’t got it yet. But he
has hopes.
