CITY WANTS REFUND
FOR CONVICTLOCKED
IN COUNTY JAIL CELL

DALTON, GA, Nov 22.-Because Of
the failure of the county to deliver John
Stocks to the city when he was wanted
for street work, simply because no one
could work the combination lock on the
cell in which Stocks was confined, Re-
corder Tarver has instructed Police
Chief White to deduct from the sheriffs
bill 81 for each day Stocks was con-
fined, amounting in all to $3.50 and to
also refuse to pay his board bill. Re
corder Tarver holds that the city pays
for the keep of its prisoners, but insists
that they be turned over to the city
when wanted.
In the absence Of her husband Mrs
Gilbert, wife Of the sheriff of Whitfield
county, insists that the city must pay
the prisoners board and deduct nothing
from the bill. "A city prisoner locked
him in, and the city must stand for It,"
she says.
Late yesterday afternoon the serv-
Ices of a locksnth We're procured and
the cell door, which had resisted all eff
forts to unlock it, was opened, the lock
being broken as a last resort because
the combination could not be worked

M0SLEMS REINFORCED
DURING 24-HOUR TRUCE
PestiIenCe Among the Enemy
Leads Gen. Savoff to Shift
Point of Onslaught.

NSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 22.-The
greatest battle of the Balkan war is
raging today along the Chatalja lines
between Bulgarian and Turkish artil-
lery with savage fury, following the
rejection by the Porte OF the allies
armistice terms. Taking advantage Of
the 24-hour lull in the fighting, brought
about by the tentative negotiations be-
tween General Savoff, the Bulgarian
commander-in-ch chief and Nazim Pa
sha, the Turkish minister of war, all
the Ottoman reserve forces had been
moved to the front and the Turkish
positions were said by the government
to be stronger nov than at any time
previous.
Biyuk Chekmeia, at the extreme
southern end Of the Chatalja lines, is
the center of the battle and there the
heaviest fighting is going on.
Five batteries of the Bulgarians'
heaviest siege guns, which were for
merly used in bombarding the Otto
man defenses at Adrianople have at
last reached the front and are concen-
trated upon the Turkish works between
Chatalja and Biyuk Chekmeje
General Savoff is evidently attempt
ing to weaken the Turkish left wing for
a flank movement.

more. After I am elected mayor, on
December 4, l can assume different

yesterday afternoon, intimated today
that he would resort to the courts to
block the razing of the plant He said
he was not yet ready to announce his

the CO. educational system for the new
$4,000 high school, on which work

Artillery Roar
Starts Before Day.

Beginning an hour before daybreak,
the roar of artillery fire west of this
city gave evidence that terrific en-
gagement was in progress. Military
experts here believe that one OF the
compelling motives which led General
Savoff tot concentrate his attack upon
the Turkish left was the prevalence Of
cholera in the camp opposite the Turk
ish center.
Reports by Turkish scouts who made
a reconnaissance of the twenty mile
front of the Bulgarian army from
neighboring heights indicated that the
Bulgarians did not withdraw from the
offensive as had been reported. but the
movement of troops to the wings only
made it appear so.
1t is indicated by all accounts from
the front that only few regiments Of
infantry and artillery have been left to
guard the Bulgarian artillery at the
center. General Savoff not fearing an
infantry attack from the Turks in this
quarter.
Witnesses OF conditions in the Turk
ish line say that the greatest hardships
are not caused by Bulgarian bullets
Cold rains have been falling at inter-
walls for a week and many OF the re-
servists vino are used to the warm cli-
mate Of Asia Minor are suffering in
