2 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. DARWIN’S SECOND SON DEAD.

Rules of Etiquette in Matter of Noblemen HOW TO TREAT S!R TOM Sir Thomas Lipton, who has made four unsuccessful attempts to win the Ameri can yachting cup and is determined to try again at San Francisco in 1915. He will be the guest of Atlanta Wednesday. w ALMOST 60,000 ACRES NOT RETURNED FOR TAXATION THOMASVILLE, GA„ Dee. 9.—Al most 60,000 acres of Thomas county land are unreturned for taxation, ac cording to the Southern Service Com pany, of Waycross, following an inves tigation of the tax digest of the county.

TO IMPROVE SAVANNAH HARBOR. SAVANNAH. GA., Dec. 9.—-Work on the upper harbor will probably not be gin before the first of January.

J ' \ t‘■ 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. \n> ■a' M T .1 Lipton leu- and UNION CHIEFS SEE PROSPERITY EDS 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. Violent Cathartic* Injure Health Side step purgatives —their harsh action is liable to injure the bowels.
