TRAMMELL
ACCEPTS
APPOINTMENT
the dalton mayor will go
ON GA. R. R. COMMISSION.
ACCEPTS BY PM LAST MT
The Position Will Not Take Him
Away From Dalton Orly at Stated
Times —Something About the Per
sonal of That Body.
The news of the appointment of
Mayor Paul B. Trammell to a mem
brship of the Georgia Railway com
mission was first authentically an
nouncd in The Argus Monday after
noon.
The Atlanta Journal predicted the
appointments as given in The Argus.
Late yesterday afternoon Air. Tram
mel got a phone message from Gov
ernor Hoke Smith tendering him the
appointmnt in the event Hon. Hiram
Warner Hill accepted the place on
the supreme bench. Air. Hill had not
up to last night accepted the place,
but it is understood that he is con
sidering it favorably ami will give
his answer to Governor Smith today.
The railroad commission elects its
own chairman r '1 it Is thought that
Hon. Murphy G’idler will succeed
Hon. Warner I'’’ l .
H. Warner Hill, chairman of the
railroad commission, has been ten
dered and has accepted the position
of associate justice of the supreme
court, succeeding Judge Horace Al.
Holder, who tendered his formal re
signation to Governor Smith yester
day, says the. Atlanta Constitution.
Paul B. Trammell, well known banker
of Datlon, is named to fill the vacancy
on the railroad commission.
The place on the railroad commis
sion was tendered Mr. Trammell
shortly after Mr. Hill announced that
he would accept the appointment to
succeed Judge Holden. Air. Tram
mell notified the governor that he
would accept the place.
He is mayor of Dalton and is pres
ident of the First National bank of
that city*. He served several years
as a member of the general assembly
from Whitfield county and he is a
son of L. N. Trammell, who served
for many years on the state railroad
commission and was chairman of the
board at the time of his death.
The promotion of IT. Warner Hill
from the railroad commission to the
supreme court bench means that C.
Murphy Candler, author of the bill
increasing the railroad commission
from three to five and raising the sal
ary of the chairman from $2,500 to
$4,000, will be head of the commis
sion.
While no election will take place
until Air. Trammell is sworn in, it is
generally believed that Air. Candler
will be elected to succeed Chairman
TTiH. The selection is made by the
chairman.
This means that for the first time
since the parting of the ways between
Governor Smith and S. Guyt AlcLen-
Jon, the governor’s supporters will
have control of the railroad commis
aion. He will have originally ap
pointed three of them, Messrs. Cand
ler. Hillyer and Trammell. The min
ority is made up by Messrs. Gray and
Stevens.
The eha nged commission probably
means that “port rates.” the leading

Big Corn Yield.
Gordon Lee, an enthusiast over the
Toys’ Corn Club, passed through the
city last night enroute to Tallapoosa.
He reported that Ben Leath, in Chat
tooga eouny, had exceeded all others
R o far reported in the corn clubs.
This young man has raised 214 bushels
of corn on one acre, at a cost of 15
cents per bushel. —Rome Tribune.
THE MARION
OPENED DOORS
LAST NIGHT
ACCORDING TO THE ADVERTIS
ED SCHEDULE TIME.
TWO LARGE AUOIENCES PRESENT
The Bill Consists of Four Pleasing
Numbers—A Regular First-Class
Local Place of Amusement for Dal
ton.
“The Marion,” Dalt on’s new and
first vaudeville house, opened last
night to two fine audiences.
Quite a while before the big front
doors were thrown open a crowd had
gathered in front of the well lighted
entrance and just a few minutes be
fore seven o’clock the Dalton concert
band gave a concert of appropriate
selections.
Promptly on the hour the orchestra
struck up and the first reel of motion
pictures was thrown on the canvas.
The second number on the bill was
Jack Plinton, the comedy juggler and
with his dextrousness and comicali
ies “won a home,” with the lovers
of that art.
The third number was the team of
comedy artists, Lewis and Helen
Derieu, who with their songs and say
ings created a lot of fun. The fourth
and last number was a comedy film.
There were some unimportant little
hitches in the workings of the show
but they caused only momentary de
lays which were remedied today and
from now on the show will move off
like a regular old-timer.
The two audiences last night num
bered in them some of the leading cit
izens of the city. Mayor Trammell,
the newly appointed Georgia railroad
commissioner, with Airs. Trammell,
was in the audience and thus gave the
show recognizance by his presence.
There will be two shows again tonight,
one at seven o’clock, promptly, and
the second one at eight-thirty.
You can go in when you please and
stay as long as you please.
The “bills” of The Marion will be
up to the standard with a change twice
weekly. They will be varied as far
as posible for the booking agency to
furnish them.
Deaconess Not to Come.
The Deaconess who was expected
on September Ist, was prevnted from
coming by the serious illness of her
mother, whose condition remains such
as to postpone indefinitely the work
of her daughter.
Tn view of this the AA'oman s Coun
cil has deemed it wise to cancel her
engagement in Dalton.
This is a great disappointment to
those who had planned and worked
for her coming and hoped she would
be the means of accomplishing much
good. The Woman’s Missionary so
ciety of the First Alethodist church
wishes to thank all who promised
substantial aid, and so heartily co
operated with the intended movement,
hoping it may yet be Dalton’s priv
ilage to have in her midst one of these
consecrated workers, who would bring
the spirit of the Lord and the loving
human touch of His followers into
lives otherwise unblessed and un
hedped.
“Doctor,” do you think it will be
necessary for me to have an opera
tion?”
“Oh, I hardly think so,” he re
plied.

wouldn’t be any use coming to you.

WANTED TO KILL
PUPPIES WITHOUT
THEIR MOTHER
ANOTHER CHAPTER IN RICHESON CASE
THE BOSTON BAPTIST MINISTER DECLARES THAT HE IS AN IN
NOCENT MAN—WILL HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY FOR DE
FENSE—HIS FATHER GOES T O SEE HIM.
Boston, Alass., October 23 —A strtl
ing bit of evidence which leaked out
last night promises to cast‘additional
interest in the case of Clarence Ah T.
Richeson, the Baptist minister, charg
ed with the murder of Avis Linnell.
When the police gave out the state
ment of AVilliam H. Hahn, the New
ton druggist, where the Cambridge
pastor is alleged to have bought the
cyanide of potassium, the drug which
caused the death of the Linnell girl,
they said the pastor had asked the
druggist for a poison which “would
kill a dog at home which was about
to give birth to puppies.”
Tonight it is stated on authority
that Druggist Hahn added anoher sen
tence to the conversation he claims
to have had with Richeson, that the
minister also said:
“I want a poison which will kill
the puppies without the dog.”
Druggist Hahn declared, it is claim
ed, that he stated that he knew of no
medicine or drug which would do this.
The police attach considerable signifi
cance to this version of the conversa
tion.
“I am innocent and will prove it
when the time comes.”
The Rev. George Hold, the Rhode
Island clergyman who is to marry a
younger sister of Violet Edmands, also
visited the accused. The pastor’s pro
testation of innocence was made to
each visitor.
Another visitor was his sister, Aliss
L. V. Richeson, of Saranac, Lake, N.
Y., who spent nearly an hour at the
door of cell 47 where the clergyman
is confined in what is known as “mur
derer’s row.”
All that money and the legal pro
fession can provide to aid Richeson

apparently will be forthcoming.
In addition to the statement of
Aloses Grant Edmands, father of Rich
eson’s fiancee, that the minister would
i have the best couneel money could se
leure, further assistance has been pro
mised from his own family. Assur
ances of support have come from Dr.
AVilliam A. Richeson, of Amherst, Va.
a wealthy uncle, who declared his
'fortune was at the command of‘the
i defense.
I One perplexing problem confront
ing the prosecution is the apparently
. long time cyanide of potassium acted
before it caused Aliss Linnell’s death.
I The medical examiner, Dr. Timothy
' E. Leary, in his report, declared that
death ensued twenty-five minutes af
ter the taking of the poison. To the
police this seems strange, as cyanide
is supposed to cause instantaneous
death.
A’arious explanations are advanced
for this seeming inconsistency. One is
jthat an overdose of the poison acted
as its own emetic. Anither is that
the poison had deteriorated through
chemical action.

Father Goes to See Richeson.
■ Lynchburg, Va., October 23 —T. V.
Richeson, father of the Rev. Clarence
Richeson, the central figure in the
Boston murder mystery, left his home
in Amherst county today for Boston
to consult with his son. Before leav
ing Amherst Air. Richeson expressed
confidence in his son’s innocence.
The elder Richeson and his family
stoutly deny that the minister was
ever engaged to Avis Linnell, but that
his interest ended in admiration for
her voice, which, they say, he believed
should be cultivated. They think that
he had no other interest in her.

MRS. STEED OF SPRING
PLACE THE OWNER
OF VALUABLE COIN
OWNS A HALF DOLLAR COINED
IN THE YEAR 1853 WHICH IS
SAID TO BE WORTH A GREAT
PRICE NOW.
A news story in the Atlanta Geor
gian of last night says that there are
only three half dollar pieces coined
in the year 1853 in existance. One
of these is owned by Bicycle Police
man G. Allen Aladdox, of Atlanta,
and one is owned by Charles L. Cross,
a clerk in a grocery story in Los An
geles, California, and according to the
Georgian the third one could-not be’
located.
These coins are said to be worth
$2,500 apiece. So that in cold cash
its increase is worth 60,000 per cent
of its face value. The Argus is re
liably informed that the third coin is
the property of Airs. Dr. John Steed,
of Spring Place and she has written
the Georgian of the fact. Airs. Steed
saw the article in the paper and hav
ing quite a lot of odd coins she look
ed over hers and to her agreeable sur
prise, discovered she had the third
long lost coin. All of the coins of
1853 have long since been called in
by the government. Airs. Steed is
well known here, where she has often
been the guest of her sister. Airs. B.
L. Heartsill, and her friends will con
gratulate her upon her good luck.
Troy, Ala., Oct. 20—News reached
here from Hawbridge, Dale county,
Alabama, that a negro who was be
ing pursued by a mob intent upon
lynching him last night, ran into a
tree and was killed by the impact.
He was charged with attacking a
white woman.
The back literally “butted out,”
his brains.
“Yes,” said Farmer Corntossel, “I
read eve”y one of those speeches you
printed in the Record.”
“Did they benefit you?”
“Yes sir. I won the two dollars
Zeb Perkins bet that it couldn’t be
done.” —Washington Star.

Wit of an Irish Priest.
Among the clerical humorists of
[lreland, Fath James Healy stands
out promient, says the Boston Adver
tiser. On one occasion when a pretty
child was proudly shown him by her
mother he remarked:
“My dear child, you’ll have a blue
lookout as long as you live.”
The mother’s face at first cloud
ed but immediately after brightened
up when she saw the smile on Fa
ther Healey’s face, for the child had
blue eyes.
Once Father Healy was asked how
he would describe a Scotchman and in
answer, assuming as he spoke the
Scot’s accent, said:
“A Scot is a man who keeps the
Sawbath and iverything else that he
can git.”
