GA., Sept. 1.—Misti Naomi Wells, of Thomson, newly elected teacher of English and his tory in the West Point High School, to-day lies unconscious at the point of death from the effect® of six drams of carbolic acid, drunk with suicidal intent.

Sunday night, however. Miss Wells remained in her room. She sat up until past midnight writing the note® that were found to day. She drank the poison some time In the early morning and lay down upon her bed. At 7 o’clock this morning, when Mis® Wells did not appear at the breakfast table with the other boarders, someone was sent to her room to call her, when she was found lying unconscious across the bed. Physicians were summoned, but after working with her for some time, an nounced that she virtually had no chance to recover. The only intimation that Miss Wells had given of despondency was late Sunday afternoon, when she told Miss Lucy Nunnally, of Monroe, another new teacher, that she had “the blues.’’ She did not explain the cause, how ever. Because of the attempted suicide Professor Thomas dismissed school immediately after it had been con vened at 9 o’clock, announcing that Miss Wells was critically ill.

SCANDAL RACING RESULTS Dr. A. B. Hinkle To Be Sued by Wife Following Family Row. Prosecution Dropped. MACON. Sept. 1.—No court proced ure other than a divorce suit will follow the encounter between Dr. A. B. Hin kle, a wealthy Macon physician, and his wife and son on Saturday night. Although Mrs. Hinkle had the doctor arrested on the charge of wife-whip ping and the son sought the protec tion of the Sheriff and asked for the Issuance of warrants, it has been de cided that there will be no prosecu tion. Dr. Hinkle and his wife have been separated for more than a week, though living under the same roof in their handsome home on Orange street, and Mrs. Hinkle has declared that she is going to institute a divorce suit. Saturday night Dr. Hinkle reproved his 17-year-old son, James, for urging Mrs. Hinkle to sue for divorce, and a fight followed between father and son, in which the latter won. He threw his father on the floor and would not let him up until he made certain promises. In the melee Mrs. Hinkle was struck In the face—Dr. Hinkle says accidentally—and the doctor’s 80-year-old mother was knocked down and sustained & broken hip. *Th e affairs created great excitement In the fashionable section of the city and an enormous crowd surrounded the house. Two policemen dragged Dr. Hinkle out, but released him at Mrs. Hinkle’s request, after he had agreed to appear in court. The crowd threatened Dr. Hinkle, believing at the time that he had badly abused hia wife and mother, and was only dis persed upon the personal plea of So licitor General John P. Ross. An interesting phase of the situa tion is that Dr. Hinkle’s property, amounting to several hundred thou sand dollars, is wholly In his wife's name. AT SARATOGA.

The fire was smoldering in a pile of rope and was quickly extinguished. The wiping out of Atlanta’s Polite Commission and a threatened war to oust Police Chief James L. Beavers have become the paramount issues In the elections to be held on a new charier and on fifteen members of the General Council. Amid all the complexities of the fight over the n^w charter submitted to the people by the General Assem bly and the personal clashes in the various wards over seat* in the Council the contest of the sever a. factions for control of the police rje- pertinent stands out as the one issue which has aroused the clans, and will arouse them more. Developments Monday revealed the fact that the various leaders are plan ning their campaigns on this Issue. It will be the first opportunity the voters have had to say whom they want to frame Atlanta’s police policy. Issue Never Before People. With the Council changing half of its personnel every year, the Mayor with but little authority In the mat ter and the members of the Police Commission elected for different terms, It has been Impossible to got the issue directly before the people.
