RICH GIRL AND
CLERK ELOPE;
NOW MARRIED
Jacksonville Society Is Stirred by
EsCapade of Ex-Sheriff Bow
denis Daughter.

JACKSONVILLE, July 12.-Soci-
ETY. folks here are on the qui vive
to-day in anticipation of the arrival
of Mrs. Lewis A. Myers, who, as
Miss May Bowden, daughter of For
mer Sheriff r. Fleming Bowden, a
millionaire, eloped with Myers,
they were married last Monday.
The marriage is known to have
been opposed by Mr.. Bowden and
current gossip has it that the OPP
position may go to such lengths that
Mrs. Lewis may not receive the pa
ternal olive branch upon her return
home.
Mr.. Bowden refuses to commit
himself. Apparently he is accepting
the situation in the best grace pos
sible.
Met a Year Ago.
The elopement and wedding was
the elimination of a series of incl
dents extending over more than a
year, of which only Miss Bowden's
closest friends were aware.
About a year ago Miss Bowden,
then barely II years of age, through
a girl friend CHANGED to meet Young
Myers at his place of employment,
at Leake's drug store. Cupid was
on hand, too, that day. 1t was the
old, old story. Myers was immediate
ly attracted to Miss BOwden, and, in
turn, the fair young woman saw her
ideal in the drug clerk
After numerous meetings at the
drug store, which Miss Bowden Wis
tied often for ice cream and soda
water, the two became sufficiently
acquainted for Myers to summon up
courage to ask if he might call at
the Bowden home. OF course, the
request was granted and Myers was
received cordially by Miss Bowden's
parents.
Father Interferes.
The growing affection, however,
could not be concealed, and at length
Miss Bowden's father, who was quite
well acquainted with Myers, forbade
him to call, explaining to his daugh-
ter that she was too young to have
a STEADY beau.
Cupid was still on hand, however,
for in the weeks that followed Miss
Bowden and Mr.. Myers contrived to
meet downtown, where they mapped
out, all to themselves, their plans
for the future. With the exception
of a girl friend of Miss Bowden, and
Paul Coulson, roommate of Myers,
and a soda water clerk at Leakes,
no one knew of the engagement or
intended elopement.
That was several weeks ago.
About noon Monday Myers quietly
requested DR.. H. S. Leake, proprie-
tor of the store, to allow him to
leave on the 1:15 train for Valdosta,
where, he explained he/was going on
a little vacation. The permission was
readily granted.
Miss Bowden managed to get to-
gether her clothing during the alb
sence of her father and mother and
the two got away without being de-
tected. They were married at Folks
ton about o'clock that afternoon.

From Jacksonville.

JACKSONVILLE. July 12.-Dress

For the first two days of camp tor
rents of rain fell. but the latter part
of the week the skies have been clear.
The soldier boys have made the most
of their time in camp and have gone
through their various routine duties
with spirit. General field work has
consisted, in addition to dress par
AIDES. of patrols. advance guard, field
fortificatiOns and small arms prac-

busy with camp routine that there
has been comparatively little time for

BOND TRUSTEES
PLAN To BLOCK
CHARTER MOVE.
Injunction Scheme to Prevent
Election on City Councils
Revision Measure.

JACKSONVILLE, July 12.-Ene-
mics of the plan to change the char.
ter of this city have found a loop
hole in the law which may serve to
defeat the efforts of the friends oe
good government. At the last ses-
sion of the Legislature a bill was
passed authorizing the City Council
to draft a new charter and submit
1t to the vote of the people between
three and six months after the bill
was signed. The time limit will ex-
pire in November.
The plan to defeat the bill is quite
simple. 1t is claimed that the law
is contrary to the State Constitution
in that 1t attempts to delegate the
power vested in the Legislature to
the City Council OF Jacksonville. That
part Of the Constitution referred to
Is section eight Of article eight, which
provides that the Legislature may
establish or abolish municipal or
CARNATIONS and may limit or change
their Jurisdiction and powers. No
mention is made of charter changes
anywhere in the Constitution.
Friends of the proposed charter,
which the Council is now preparing,
declare that the Supreme Court
would no doubt find for them; but
fear that they will lose because OF
the fact that the bond trustees are
planning to prevent the election by
Injunction. Before the case can be
decided the time limit will have ex-
pired. This will have the effect OF
preventing a change.
The main object of the City Coun-
ell in framing the new charter Is to
do away with the board of bond trus-
tees, which now practically runs the
city. Those same trustees will fight
to retain their powers and one Of the
number has given out the Injunction
plan to be followed in defeating the
measures
