him from the disgrace of the chain
gang now"
The governor could not go into the
case extensively with his visitor today,
but he promised that the matter should
have his very careful attention. He
said his youthful visitor might call to
see him again tomorrow morning, at
1890, and he would hear her further.
In the meantime, the boy in the case
will not be hurried to the changing.
He will be kept in Jail until the gov
ernor can pass on his case, and that
likely will be done by noon tomorrow.
The governor has the authority to
change the sentence from term in the

GIRL, "A, BEGS GOVERNOR
FOR MERCY TO BROTHER

Pretty little Stella Hearn, IA years
old, of 81 Kirl1wood avenue, called up
on Governor Joseph NJ. Brown at the
capitol today and implored him not to
let her 16-year- old brother Love Hearn,
convicted in Judge Calhoun's court Sat
urday Of larceny, go to the common
changing, to which he has been SEN
fenced, but to have him sent to the
state reformatory instead
Miss Hearn went TO the capitol alone
today, and said she desired to plead
her case directly to the executive, and
to tell him, in d heart to-heart talk,
how very much she wished her brother
to have another chance" after he had
been properly punished, and to protest
that he be not disgraced.
The girl said she did not wish the
governor to release her brother because
she thought he had been "a very bad
boy, and ought TO suffer for it, but she
did not think it would be right to send
him to the chaingang, where he would
have to work with negroes and de-
nrayad characters

there, only to spend it for candy and
apples for the folks at home.

FIGHT ON
. SALARY ACT SEEN

That the three county officials who
refused to abide by the provisions Of
the new salary act are preparing to OPP
pose vigorously the mandamus pro-
ceedings recently instituted by the
county attorney was made known to-
day. J. D. Fitzpatrick and John C. Hart,
attorneys for Tax Collector Stewart,
Tax Receiver Armistead and Ordinary
Wilkinson. said that they would file de-
murrers to the county's writs within a
few days.
Superior Judge Pendleton has cited
the three officials to appear on Deem
Der and on that date the salary act
will get its first court test. 1t is freely
predicted that the case will not be de-
cided finally until the supreme court
has passed upon it.
While three OF the seven officials af4
fected haYe not estimated their ONCE
expenses for the Fulton commission
nor allowed the county auditor to esti-
mate the fees of their Offices It is unI
derstood that. the operation of the SAL
airy act will net the county some $50, 900
a year.
This estimate is based upon the
schedules of office expenses already
filed and the fees for 1911 reported by
the auditor
Sheriff Mangum asked for $500 for
his expenses for 1913, while the auditor
reported his fees at $4,000. Arnold
Broyles, clerk OF the courts, asked for
$43,38O, while his fees totaled $4,000.
Lowry Arnold. solicitor of the criminal
court, asked for $1,000, while his fees
were reported at $4,000. Solicitor Dor.
sey asked for $11,25O with fees aggre-
gated $500. The offices Of tax collec-
tor. tax receiver and ordinary are said
to be the most profitable in the court
house.

On These Rich Guys. 1"

I'm afraid the executive board is
going back on me- but I'm going ahead
with this work, anyhow, and I've got to

McManigal. 'The Speedway races are
coming off here soon and I will trail
some of these rich guys and then set

or four of them, but what the hell's the

testimony in the dynamite conspiracy
case at 1880 o'clock this morning.

mind was infiamed by the McNamaras

a dynamiter. He said that although he
would not have done dynamiting free of

but because he believed he was justi-
fed in thus supporting his union.

Governor Brown had not heard of the
alleged violations of the prohibition
laws In Savannah and would not dis
cuss the matter for publication.
The governor has no original juris-
diction in cases of this sort, and could
not, If he would, issue instructions or
orders to the sheriff or solicitor gem
eral of Chatham county calling upon
them to proceed against the violators
Of the law.
The solicitor general has abundant
authority to begin proceedings, and it
then would be up to the courts, includ-
ing the Judge, the solicitor and the
sheriff, to see that he lawbreakers were
brought to the bar of justice. For fail
ure to perform their duties, the judge
or the solicitor might be impeached by
the legislature. For failure to perform
his duty a sheriff can be disciplined in
one way only-through a trial by jury
Governor Brown has been very re-
luctant in the past to extend executive
clemency to violators of the prohibition
laws, and 1t is safe to say that he
would not interfere with such SEN
fences as the courts might give those
convicted IN the future.

Senator Rauner Unconscious.

Washington, Nov. 21.-United
Maryland. who is i'll at his home in
Washington. was still in a comatose
condition tonight.
He has now been unconscious for
4G hours. Every effort to arouse
him from the stuper has failed, and
as a consequence his family and
physicians have abandoned all hope.
His condition is most desperate, and
the end may come within the next
IL hours, or he may linger for
day or two.
Mr.. William B. Rayner, son of
the Senator, issued a brief bulletin
tonight. 1t. was:
my fathers condition remains
unchanged"
Senator Rayner fell into his
present unconscious state early
Wednesday morning. Since then he
has practically taken no nourish-
ment and has not shown any sign
of returning sensibility. Now and
then he would slightly raise him
self up as if in an effort to recog-
nize those about him, but in
second he would fall back into the
stupor.
1t is now regarded as only a
question of hours with the distin-
guished Maryland statesman. The
complication of diseases, including
neuritis. with which he is suffering,
has spread throughout his body and
the doctors realize the present stu
por is the beginning of the end. No
change can now come, the physi-
clans think, in view of the spread
of the complication of diseases, that
can prevent the worst.
Senator Rayner's fighting spirit
and his wonderful vitality are the
forces which are deferring the end.
The diseases which have seized
him would have carried away a
man of the average vitality long
ago.
