In this issue we announce the
name of Mr.. Dowden Long as a
candidate for marshal, subject
to action of the Democratic pri-
mary. Mr.. Long enters the race
at the solicitation of numerous
friends, who promise their sup
port, but he places himself under
obligation to no faction. He is a
young man of vigorous manhood,
and promises if elected to devote
his entire time to the discharge
of the duties of the Office, which
he promises to execute without
fear or favor, but will hew to
the line and let the chips fall
where they may. He will make
an active canvass and will ap-
preciate the votes and influence
OF everyone.

THIRD TRIAL ORDERED
FOR MAN WHO ADMITS
AND DENIES KILLING

MACON, GA. Dec. 12-In reversing
the decision of the lower court in the
case of Johnny B. Jones, who was found
guilty OF murder and sentenced for life,
the supreme court has granted a third
trial to a man who has twice declared
under oath in court that he committed
the crime, which he subsequently de-
MED when his own life was put in
jeopardy.
w. D. Bishop, a police sergeant. was
killed in house in the restricted dis
trict and Tom Jones, a city detective
was found guilty and given life SEN
tenCe for the crime. At his trial Johnny
B. Jones swore that he fired the fatal
shot. This statement led to his trial
later on, but mistrial resulted. On
the second trial he was convicted. He
and Tom Jones are first cousins.

PLANS Of MACON
DEPOTSORDERED
Commission Orders Railroads
to Answer Complaints and
Submit BIueprints.

The Georgia railroad commission has
ordered the. Central of Georgia and the
Southern to make answer to the COM
plant of Colonel Robert L. Berner. of
Macon, in the matter of Macon's pres
ent Inadequate and insanitary pas
senger depot facilities.
The commission not only requires the
roads to answer Colonel Berner's COM
plants, but 1t further requires that
the answer be accompanied by blue
prints and general plans and specifica"
tons for the erection of new and more
commodious facilities at once.
The question of Macon's depots has
been before the commission, on petition
of Colonel Berner, representing cit
zens of Macon generally, for some time.
Recently the commission visited Macon
in body and looked over the present
depots, and the order requiring answer
| to the complainant is the direct result
of that visit
Macon desires the Southern and the
! Central to join in erecting a handsome
and ample union station, and it is like
| ly that will be the outcome Of the
/ present hearing. However, the railroad
commission has no authority to order a
union station-it merely can order new
, stations, to be erected by the roads in
| dividually. If the roads ask the COM
mission for authority to Join in a union
station, the commission unquestionably
| will grant 1t.
| Many interested citizens of Macon
| and railroad officials have visited the
offices of the railroad commission in the
capitol of late, seeking to bring about
an understanding between the roads
and the citizens of such nature thai
it will insure q new depot.
The present depot facilities of Macor
are VIGOROUSLY unsatisfactory and di.

CHARLOTTE WALKER CHARMS
LARGE AUDIENCE AT ATLANTA

Charlotte Walker, in her latest play,
me trail of the Lonesome Pine" de-
lighted the Atlanta audience last night.
The beautiful Southern actress has only
peen seen here before in plays like 1.-THE
Parole and similar types, and while the
present venice does not present famil-
iar aspect TO her former audiences, Miss
walker is no less beautiful and is per
maps cleVerer, in an histronic sense than
m her other Southern plays. The Trail
OF the Lonesome Pine" is a Southern
play, in one sense of the word; but not in
the accepted sense. 1t is a story of the
fierce and bookkeeping Cumberland
mountalneers, dramatiZed by Eugene
Walter, from the novel of John Fox. Jr.
In this part of the South the type is alb
solutely foreign. but the faithful por-
t srarLiure OF Ma, type was recognized in the
work OF Miss Walker and her company,
despite its unfamiliarity to Georgians.
FOR number of years Charlotte Wal

most gifted of the women stars She is
certainly one of the most beautiful as

The play is full Of dramatic force The
atmosphere of the mountains is faithfully

story of June and the Trail of the Lone

seldom been seen here, and the first and

the third act, the thrilling feudist spirit
is revealed in all its horror, and what 1t
means to the woman as well as to the
men is forcibly shown. The act Is big
with emotion and is wonderfully well
done
Miss Walker is ably supported by a
very capable company. The leading roles
are taken by George Bancroft as John
