BOARD ILL FILL
WMMGES
All Appointments To Be Made
by Commission Direct to
Eliminate Politics.
prison commission gave out a
. . uent today, having in view the
lIK , s in county offices throughout
• . -Hite on January 1, expressly call
ing a itention to the fact that convict
wardens and physicians in Georgia are
..amvd by the commission and not by
ount> officials. ,
Tee commission Invites recommenda
■i,.;v for these positions from the va
rioui- county boards, but it is not oblig
ee to accept these recommendations
unh-ss it desires to. In the case of
unexpected vacancies it has made a
• . ice of permitting the county
~ to till them, but even in that it
t c delegated direct and final author
ii, to the boards.
The commission thinks that some
■ ounty boards have undertaken to play
p.cities with these positions, and that
ti , latitude heretofore given county
boards in the matter of making nomi
nations has been abused. Therefore,
in the future the commission will en
force very rigidly the rule of making
the appointments direct, and will ask
the advice of the county boards only
in emergencies.
Th commission explains that it de
sires merely to make efficiency in the
discharge of official duty the final test
for holding office under the prison au
thorities.

GUESSING TOO PERILOUS
Director VonHerrmann, of the weath
er bureau, today strenuously denied
that he predicted Christmas would be
fair, sunshiny and warm. He declared
that he was not courting sudden death
or maledictions from the 2,000,000 res
idents of Georgia, and therefore de
clined absolutely to make any predic
tion for Christmas until next Monday,
at the earliest.
As he walked into the weather bu
reau's offices in the Empire building to
day, vainly endeavoring to manage a
toy balloon, a woolen dog sticking out
of one pocket and a monkey on a -tring
peering from a bundle in his hand, he
looked anything but frightened. De
spite that, however, he used the toys
to prove his anxiety.
“I'm a family man," said he. “I know
how the grown-ups, as well as th®
kids, feel about Christmas. If I were
to predict a fair, beautiful Christmas
and the day should prove to be rainy,
WOMAN, WITH PASS,
EJECTED FROM TRAIN,
GETS SI,OOO DAMAGE
ROME. GA., Dec. 19. —Because she was
put off a train in a corn patch, Mrs. F.
R. Morris, of Birmingham, Ala., will get
SI,OOO from the Central of Georgia rail
road unless a higher court decrees other
wise.
Mrs. Morris boarded a Central train De
cember 26. 1911, at Rome with a pass as
her medium of transportation, as her hus
band at that time was an engineer on
the Central. Conductor Ruff refused to
honor the pass on the grounds that it
bore the date November 30. 1911, and was
out of date. Soon after leaving Silver
Creek the train was stopped and Mrs.
Morris was put off in an open field, she
claims.
“She sure did give me a tongue lash
ing," said Conductor Ruff on the stand.
Indignant and enraged, Mrs. Morris
claims she had to walk to Lindale, a dis
tance of two miles, and from there catch
a train back to Rome. She had a photo
graph made of the pass and it was intro
duced in court. It bore the expiration
date of December 30. 1911.
“He talked to me like a dog." she said,
referring to the conductor.

cold and raw, I wouldn't give two cents
for my life. 1 wouldn’t be worth two
cents if I did a trick of that kind, any
way.
“AU I'm going to do is to hope. I
hope that Christmas day will be the
most beautiful ever known to Georgia.
I hope the air will be so pure that even
those who have no home nor friends
will be glad they're alive just to enjoy
it. I hope that on that day every one
will be able to remain awake the whole
twenty-four hours and be untired at the
end. I hope that every minute of it
w ill be one of pure happiness, and I
hope that at the end every one will be
able to look back and say, ‘Well, the
weather man certainly did give us the
grandest and biggest Christmas present
we have ever bad.' 1 hope a lot more
things, but I’ll save them up till later.
Now I’ve got to get some more pres

Up and Down
Peachtree
Alfriend Travels
In Auto Train.
Those who regret the passing of the
days of the “coach and four.” with a
coachman and a, footman and heralds
to go ahead and announce the ap
proach of the grand gentleman, and
criticise modern 'modes of travel as
lacking in elegance will have a pleas
ant surprise if they watch Peachtree
street closely.
Edward W. .Alfriend. the young so
ciety man, could make any of the old
Southern gentlemen snort with wound
ed vanity if they could only see him in
action witli his three automobiles. Not
that owning three automobiles is un
usual; but Mr. Alfriend lias a habit of
using all three of them al. one time.
As the people were wending their re
spective ways homeward from the the
aters the other night, this unique per
formance was observed.
Two intimate friends of Mr. Alfriend
drove up in one of bis machines to a
Peachtree street candy store. Mr. Ai
friend himself followed closely In an
other ar with a young woman. A
chauffeur followed immediately behind
in a third of Mr. Alfriend's automo
biles.
The two friends in the front car
jumped out and assisted Mr. Alfriend
and tile young woman to aligiit. The
chauffeur stepped from ills machine and
began to adjust the lights and the mats,
etc., in Mr. Alfriend’s machine, and
shortly after the members of the party
rolled out Peachtree street, in the same
order In which they had stopped at the
candj store.
