Balkan peace conference today by
standing firm on their demand for the

NEGRO WITH GUN
1 OSES PURSUERS
A. B. Jones, furniture dealer at 520
Marietta street, today had more trouble
with a negro who several days ago sold |
him for 88 the furniture of the old
Plaza hotel owned by Colonel Willis A.
Ragan at Peachtree and West Peach
tree streets.
Early this 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.
With the negro’s pistol drawn on
Jones, C. M. Shannon, bookkeeper for
the store, knocked down the blacjt man,
who gave his name as Ed Willis, with
a hammer. He recovered, however, and,
with Jones. Shannon and John Bridwell,
a clerk, in pursuit, started the chase,
which led him down Hunnicutt street
and out to Tanyard bottoms. There
Willis hid himself, and escaJped the
hunt of 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.

The death list in the fatal fire In a
moving picture theater in Alenin last
night reached sixteen today when four
of the fifty injured died.

caused by a film igniting. Many in file
theater at the time were women and
children.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
The Georgia weeklies, wishing their
constituencies a Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year, many of them be-
yr '
F
decked with gor
geous front pages
of holiday persua
sion. announce al
most unanimously
this week that
there will be. in
honor of the Yule
tide. "no paper
next week."
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 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
Georgia, who should sit as Wilson s ad
viser and intimate in the white house,
Stovall wpuld get the plum!
He is. and has been for many years,
very popular with the weekly press.
And tile press is divided on him only
with respect to which particular port
folio should bo 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 bs* President Taft to
be a member of the iiighly 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.
Senator Hoke Smith’s proposed bill
extending the national banks the right
to lend money on real estate is general
ly approved hi Georgia.
The fact that national banks are not
permitted to make loans upon real es
tate collateral makes it harder for the
farmer to ge| money, so various news
papers argue, than it would be if the
old prohibition were removed.
The purpose of the law originally was
to force national banks to lend money
only on collateral Immediately con
vertible into cash in case, of forfeiture,
but the necessity of holding real estate
collateral rigidly to a contrary classi-

Relieves Quickly, Without Producing Nau
sea or Constipation, Coughs, Cords, Hoarse
ness, Sore Throat, Croup, Whooping Cough
and Other Bronchial Affections.
Safe for Both Children and Aaults
D E( Al SE it does not contain dangerous Chloroform, Heroin. Morphine or Cannabis Indies,
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 Io relax. The Balsam of Tolu is a power
ful 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
ble. digestible and laxative. Many cough medicines produce nausea or constipation; our
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'
experience in prescribing and compounding cough medicines, combined with a thorough
and scientific study of cough and bronchial affections. We consider it unequaled 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, it prevents dangerous devel
opments. In whooping-cough it alleviates and prevents frequent recurrence of the attack,
and effects a rapid recovery. We recommend it for:
Goughs, Hoarseness,
Colds, Sore Throat,
Bronchitis, Influenza,
Croup, Whooping Cough, ,
Tonsilitis and Irritability of Larynx and Tonsils, and All Affections
arising from Inflamed Condition of Throat or Bronchial Tubes.

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 all 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 term 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 ail 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
Jesse G. Perry, the governor's private
secretary, left Saturday night to spend
his Christmas holiday with "the folks
back home," in Mitchell county.
Colonel Perry is an ardent sportsman
and a crack shot. He will not miss a
i day’s hunting while he is away, but has
promised the governor faithfully to
stick within tl , limit of 25 birds a day,
and not bring down censure upon the
administration by shooting up Mitchell
county's quail crop indiscriminately.
He wilt return to Atlanta and his of
ficial duties about January 3.

Congressman Char.es G. Edwards, of
'the First district, lists Editor Josephus
l Daniels, of The Raleigii News and Ob
server. as the one sure cabinet possi
bility under Pr- sident Wilson.
Mr. Edwards, who is home for the
Christmas holidays, says there is ab
| solutcly no doubt in tiie 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 those who
have figured in national politics, and
the opinion that he richly deserves re
ward and recognition at the bands of

cally unanimous.

prison commission that It will not stand

LIBERTY OFFERED
SMALL GRAFTERS
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—A chance for
•mmunity was today granted policemen
and civilians who acted as collectors
for the graft under the “police system"
from the 35,000 women 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
the 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
their 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
'tea son whatever other than that the
incumbents aligned themselves with
losing political factions in the various
localities affected.
The prison commission never has 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,
the commission sharply withdrew it.
There will be some walling 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.
