COUNTY WARS ON

Doctors Accused of Combining
to Force Pay Increase For
Jones' Public Physician.

Jones county. through its board Of
county commissioners. is very much at
war with local medical trust" COM
posed Of all of the Jones county physi-
clans but two, and has brought its
troubles to the Georgia prison commits
sion for settlement.
Commissioner j. d. Roberts repre-
senting the county board. appeared be-
fore the prison commission today and
advocated the confirmation by the
board of Dr. $ b. Boand. one of the
two physicians in the county willing to
accept the Office, under the terms pro-
posed by the county authorities
When the Jones county board met
early in January to elect county ply
stefan, it reelected the old one. at a
salary OF 1856 per annum. for which he
had been serving for severa years. A
short time after his election he de-
clined the job, unless his salary was
raised to $500 per annum.
The board refused to raise the salary
and elected in his stead Or. p. r
ChambIiss. who agreed to accept, but
afterward declined, giving as his res-
son that the county medical society had
AXed a salary Of $500 per annum 5 the
fin aud proper figure for the Jones
county Job. and that any member Of
the society who accepted at a less fig
urc would be ostraclsed in consultation
and otherwise by members OF the So
ciety. 1t developed that this was the
reason why the former physician de-
clined to serve.
The board then raked around the
county and discovered two physicians
who did not belong to the medical
trust" and proceeded to elect one Of
them-Dr Boland-to the office, at $40O
per annum.
DR.. Boland accepted, and now an ef-
fort is being made to have the prison
commission disapprove his selection.
for various reasons.
The county board Of Jones insists
upon Bolands confirmation. however.
and II was TO voice that insistence and
some Indignation that Commissioner
Roberts appeared before the prison
commission today

Gates for Shields
Till Week Ago.

Last fall. when it became known that
Judge Shields would seek the senator
ship, General Gates publicly announced
he would not be a candidate. but would
support Shields. That declaration has
been repeated even since the legislature
convened less than three weeks ago.
TIL break btwen Shields and Gates
has come since the balolting for SEN
ator began Tuesday of last week.
Shields, heretofore known as an indie
pendent Democrat, was refused the
caucus nomina ton of that faction and
the Republican fusionsts, who put up
B. A. Enloe, chairman of the state rail-
road commission and former congress
man. Shields and his followers then
went to the regular faction, Shields
openly accusing Senator Luke Lea and
other indepedent leaders of having
thrown him down. Gates remained with

Would Suggest
People Act Directly.

IF your honorable body sees AZ to
deny the people the privilege of voting
on the two charters" Mayor Wood ward
said Il suggest that the people come
together in mass meeting in the Au-
ditorium and take this most important
matter of the city into their own hands
and hus secure genuine results"
The mayors message follows:
In the late campaign for the
mayoraIty. one of the main issues
was for a comprehensive and hon
est revision of the city charter-s
revision that meant something in
the way OF securing results and
placing responsibility. During thai
campaign | took a very decisive
stand for that kind OF a charter.
and In my inaugural address |
stressed that feature very strongly.
| believe that such charter
should be formulated by body of
men unhampered by political af1li-
atoms. either directly or in the In
terest Of office holders. Upon those
lines Councilman Humphrey intro
duced resolution that the mayor
appoint a committee Of fifteen. TO
be composed OF ten citizens and
five members Of the general council.

People Cd Not Take
Kindly to Council s Act.

The people do not take kindly to
the action OF the general council in
setting aside their measure. which
looks to genuine reforms along
charter revision lines, and the sub
stitution therefor OF a self-appoint-
ed committee, both as to member
ship and chairman.
1t is almost unbelievable that anv
body of men, especially public serV-
ants, would Haunt ans such a prop

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.--American
lights in the Panama canal will not be
apudisted by the sixty second con-
gress.
The exemption of American coast
wise vessels from Panama tolls will
not be repealed in either house.
This much is admirably evident and
0atriodcally certain.
The speech OF Elihu Root has not
made a single break in the senatorial
inc Of American loyalty.
The wsbbling uncertainty of Presi-
dent TAFT has not weakened a single
representative in either house of con-
gress The lines are a phalanX and the
Havering opposition has not a hope or
a chance Of success.
Charles Adamson. chairman of the
house committee on interstate and for
sign commerce, is out in formal
statement, in which he declares that
he has not and will not bring before
The house the Sims bill to repeal free
tolls for our domestic vessels. because
he does not discover q sign in the house
NJ any intention to reverse it's afffrma-
tive vote. Adamson himself voted
against the bill.

Chicago Girl, Beautiful Mar
guerite," Won by Cousin of
Mrs. R. F. Maddox.
Virginia LiStemann

1t required no jewels to win tn,
real love OF the prettiest Marguerite
who ever sang to a Faust before the
opera lovers of the present generation.
but only the ardent love and persistent
wooing of a young SOuthener whose
name Is known throughout the South
for that Of family of brave and proud
men, and whose connections are wider
than his nome state of Tennessee.
William Mack Baxter. of Tennessee,
will wed Miss Virginia Lstemann. Of
Chicago who is loved by all Chicago
for her love and beauty Announce
ment of the event was made yesterday
Atlantans have loved Marguerite.
What opera audience hasn't? Not the
one Marguerite of the young Tennessee
man, perhaps, but just Marguerite, the
tender. innocent girl who sang her
heart out in the garden she loved And
now that real Marguerite has been
wooed and won by a neighboring South
erner, in true romantic fashion, At
lanta, with the rest Of the South, will
smile.
Cousin of Mrs. Maddox.
William Mack Baxter is the son of
an old Southern family. Former Sen
ator Beveridge Of Indiana, is his cousin,
and former Secretary of War Dickinson
is his uncle. A distant relative in At
lanta is r. w. Baxter, Of 81 East Fourth
street, president of the General Supply
Company. The happy bridegroom Is
cousin of Mrs Robert F. Maddox.
The future Mrs. William Mack Bax-
ter is more than a local celebrity of
Chicago. Coming from family of mu-
sicians, the riches Of her voice have
been cherished and heightened from her
birth. She was a student in Berlin and
Vienna. She has Chicago at her feet.
She has admirers everywhere.
Mr.. Baxter loved her when he first
saw her, like the rest of Chicago. He
met her at a musicale given by mu-
tual friend, and Immediately was cap
tive.
An introduction was obtained easily.
That was about six months ago. Then
began a period Of companionship, which
ripened into something more There
were long summer evenings, when they
talked Of music and other things; cosier
autumn chats, when music became less
and less factor i'm the conversation
that is, except when Miss Listemann
announced her intention to give herself
up to a life Of artistic devotion. and to
forswesr marriage and domestic life
altogether. Then they talked Of music,
maybe.
Baxter Persists.
But Baxter was persistent, and
through the force of his wooing he be
gan subtly to persuade the pretty singer
that artistic triumph is not everything.
And Miss Virginia Listemann. who had
all Chicago at her beck, began TO be
persuaded.
Then the Southern WOoer won. As
Mrs William Mack Baxter, the young
prima donna will find new fields to
conquer in the home Of her husband,
Nashville. Mr.. Baxter holds there a
position with the Illinois Central rail
road. He Is graduate of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and Of Columbia
university. and made his mark already
in railroad work.
The date Of the wedding has not been
announced but 1t will not be deferred
long A honeymoon trip Of two months
in Europe already has been planned.

Root Repeal
Bill to Slunber.

Of the senate committee on inter
oceanic canals and an opponent of free
tolls, has made no plans to bring the
Root repeal bill before the senate. be-
cause he sees not a ray of hope that the
senate will reverse the splendid Ameri-
can vote by which it provided free tolls
Tor our domestic commerce.
And so from the ranks of these pow
ertll oppositions leaders come the
rank and convincing assurance that
the American government will stand
pat on the control of it's own canal and
The advantage of its own commerce.
On May % the canal bill was before
the house of representatives on the
Doremus amendment providing for the
Tree passage of American domestic YES
sells. A separate vote was demanded,
Covinston, Of Maryland, Democrat, and
hnowlton, of California, Republican,
eading for free tolls
Upon the call LAT American repre-
sentatives voted for free tolls and 12S

SO far as Chairman Adamson and
