Balkan peace conference today by

NEGBO WITH GON
'OSES TOWS
A. B. Jones, furniture dealer at 520
Marietta street, today had more trouble
with a negro who several days ago sold
him for $8 the furniture of the old
Plaza hotel owned by Colon. ! Wilfis A.
Ragan at Peachtree and '.Vest Peach
tree streets.
Early this morning the same negro,
probably elated over having sold Colo
nel Ragan’s hotel furniture, went to the
furniture store and tried to sell Jones
more second-hand furniture.
Jones, who was released on a S3OO
bond for perjury on account of the for
mer deal, attempted this time to detain
the negro until the police could arrive.
Instead, however, the negro drew a gun
to force his release from the store, and
several shots and an exciting but futile
chase followed.
Vt ith the negro’s pistol drawn on
Jones, U. M. Shannon, bookkeeper for
the store, knocked down the black man,
who gave his name as Ed Willis, with
a hammer. He recovered, however, and,
with Jones. Shannon and John Brldwell,
a clerk, in pursuit, started the chase,
which led him down Hunnicutt street
and out to Tanyard bottoms. There
Willis hid himself, and escaped the
hunt ot a squad of police who were
hurried to the scene in an automobile.
During the chase Willis fired several
shots at his pursuers, but none took ef
fect. None of the men chasing the ne
gro was armed.

a Happy New Year, many of them b< -

geous front pages

sion. announce al
most unanimously
this week that
there will be. in
honor of the Yule
tide, **no paper

The Georgia
weekly press, for
years, has cut out
the Christmas
week edition.
The dailies may
keep going, with
their records of
news and their
stories of y men
and things, but
the weeklies cease firing, and take a
true and genuine vacation., with the
accompanying opportunity to have a
good time really, and get a sure enough
holiday.
The Georgia weekly press has con
cerned itself of late far more than the
daily press with. Georgia's chance of
getting a son in the cabinet.
And the weeklies, too, run very de
cidedly in favor of Representative
Pleasant A. Stovall, of Savannah, for
that honor.
. If the weekly press were vouchsafed
| the authority, to name the man from
I Georgia who should sit as Wilson's ad
viser and intimate in the white house,
Stovall would get the plum!
He is, and has been for many years,
very popular with the weekly press.
Ami the press is divided on him only
with respect to which particular port
folio should be awarded him.
Suggestions run about evenly be
tween the secretaryship of the interior
and the postmaster generalship.
Charles S. Barrett, of Georgia, presi
dent of the National Farmers union,
has been named by President Taft to
be a member of the highly important
commission on industrial relations,
authorized by congress.
It is said that the senate likely will
refuse to confirm the commission
named by the president, and in that
event,- of course. Mr. Barrett would not
sit upon it as at present proposed.
President Woodrow Wilson, however,
will name a new commission soon after
inauguration, which will be confirmed,
and Mr. Barrett will be renamed. There
does not seem to be any doubt about
that.

used in many other cough preparations. It is made from pure Californian comb Hon
ey. which moistens throat and bronchial tubes and relieves the tickling irritation, cools,
soothes the inflamed surfaces and permits nerves to relax. The Balsam of Tolu is a power
iul healing agent obtained from South American trees, and combined in the right propor
tion with pure Honey makes a preparation unexcelled in its curative properties.
Children Like Its Pleasant Taste
Palmer’s Tolu and Honey Cough Mixture tastes good and children like it. It is palata

mixture does not, and there is nothing in its composition to disagree with even the most del
icate stomach.
No Other Cough Remedy Acts So Quickly and Safely
It is our own prescription, prepared in our own laboratory, the result of our many years’
•‘xperience in prescribing and compounding cough medicines, combined with a thorough
and scientific study of cough and bronchial affections. We consider it uneqnaled in its
power to give immediate relief to very sore and inflamed condition, and as a permanent
remedy. If taken at the beginning of a slight cold or cough, if prevents dangerous devel

ficatlon is urged to have passed, and.
therefore, the Georgia newspapers—
particularly of the rural persuasion—
believe that the financial situation
would be greatly and sensibly relieved
if national banks might make loans on
real estate as security.
Anyway. Senator Smith's bill is be
ing applauded from one end of the state
to the other as a mighty desirable
thing.
The suggestion of The Darien Ga
zette that al! county officers in Georgia
be elected for four years instead of
two, as is now the custom, has met
with considerable approval throughout
the state.
If it carried with it the further sug
gestion of no prescriptive title to a sec
ond term, it likely would be generally
approved.
It is customary in Georgia nowadays
to elect officers, and then to re-elect
them, regardless, to a second term.
Years ago the politicians began to set
up a claim to a second terqi as an
‘‘indorsement,'' and the officeholder who
failed to get it has looked upon the
failure as a sort of repudiation pe
culiarly obnoxious.
This idea had more to do than any
thing else, perhaps, with bringing about
the constitutional inhibition against a
third consecutive term in the governor
ship. Governors have come to be ac
corded a second term, almost without
question; and pretty much the same
rule applies in all other offices—as it
does. Indeed, so far as Georgia is con
cerned. to national representatives and
senators.
While, however. The Darien Gazette's
suggestion is interesting and in many
instances approved, it is not at all like
ly that a change in the present law will
be enacted by the incoming legislature

secretary, left Saturday night to spend
his Christmas holiday with “the folks

and not bring down censure upon the
administration by .- looting up Mitchell
county’s quail crop indiscriminately.
He will return to Atlanta and his of
ficial duties about January 3.
Congressman Charles (i. Edwards, of
the Firs, district, lists Editor Josephus
Daniels, of The Raleigh News and Ob
server, as the one sure cabinet possi
bility under President Wilson.
Mr. Edwards, who is home for the
< iiristmas holidays, says there is ab
solutely no doubt in the mind of any
body in Washington that Daniels is to
land, and in all probability in the post
master generalship.
Editor Daniels is wide! known in
Georgia, especially among who
have figured in national politics, and
the opinion that he richly deserves re
ward and recognition at the hands of
the incoming administration is practi
cally unanimous.
The announcement of the Georgia
prison commission that It will not stand
for the removal of county wardens and
physicians, when th? cause for removal 1
is merely political, has smashed many a
LIBERTY OFFERED
SMALL GRAFTERS
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—A chance for
•mmunlty was today granted policemen
and civilians who acted as collectors
for the graft under the “police system”
from the 35,000 women of the under
world, upon the condition that they
would confess and implicate the men
higher up in the police department.
District Attorney Whitman, who has
made this offer of freedom to the
“small fry" grafters, feels that they
were merely tools for the captains, in
spectors, and acted under their orders,
and Whitman wants to secure the infor
mation against the men who have been
the brains of the grafters in taking
money from keepers of disorderly re
sorts.
This action on the part of the dis
trict attorney created a panic among
tlie higher officers of the police depart
ment. and there were wild rumors that
some of the guilty officials, rather than
face the court, would flee from the city
and become fugitives.
Added cause for alarm came today
when it was learned that Charles De
vauiere and David Maier, held for the
grand jury' on the charge of attempting
to bribe a janitor not to testify in sup
port of the revelations of Mrs. Mary
Goode, would most likely accept the
offer of immunity by testifying as to
jlieir knowledge of the “system.”
pretty slate framed up for January
throughout the state.
New county commissioners here and
there long ago have caucused and de
cided to oust wardens and physicians
hither and yon—and generally for no
reason whatever other than that tlie !
incumbents aligned themselves with j
losing political factions in the various
localities affected.
The prison commission never lias del
egated to the county commissioners the
right to elect these officials, but it had |
come to accept their recommendations |
practically without question. When it >
became apparent, however, that this,'
right of nomination was being abused, I
the commission sharply withdrew it. I
There will be some wailing and '
gnashing of teeth, of course—but the |
prison commission says it will stand
pat from now on, on its own right to
name the county physicians and war
dens.
