Mr.. Keen praised him highly, par

as called "Papa's Piece" its especial
virtue lying in the fact that his papa
had once played it for him on jews

And now, true to his first love,
Thomas boldly enters Mr.. Keen's prl-
waite office every blessed morning of
the world and favors the manager
with selection, or two selections,
or three or a dozen, according as ne
has the time to spare.
He is what might be called a radi-
cal fiddler, scorning the conventions,
If there isn't a chair, he sits on the
floor and plays. He has no use for
the keys on his fiddle, experience hav-
ing taught him that he can get more
noise if he plays on the open strings,
and it is quantity of music rather
than quality that Thomas is after.
A few days ago Mr.. Keen told the

Fifteen minutes after that Thomas

MADDOX WANTED

SUCCESSOR
Alderman Said To Be Favored by
County Commissioners-Many
Expected to Enter Race.

Reports In political circles Friday
were that majority of the members
of the County Commission were Sc
riously considering electing Alderman
James W. Maddox, of the Fifth Ward,
Superintendent of Construction for
the County to succeed s. H. Dom
aldson.
Opinion among politicians is that
both S. II. Donaldson and his broth
err T. j. Donaldson, his assistant, will
be removed from Office in accord
ance with the demands of the Grand
Jury,
Many candidates for the places are
expected to present themselves, but
Alderman Maddoxs friends are first
to present his qualifications, pointing
out that his long experience as a con-
tractor especially fits him for the
work.
Whether or not a special meeting
of the County Commission viii be
called TO consider the recent present
ment of the Grand Jury, in which the
Commissioners were taken to task for
alleged inhumane conditions existing
at the convict camps, has not been
determined.
THE Commissioners are comforting
informally every day on the matter,
but have not reached decision re-
garding a special session" said Chair
man Tull c. Waters Friday.
I'VE are anxious to hold joint
conference with the members OF the
State Prison Board before taking def
mite action relative to the Grand
Jurys report. but it looks as though
we shall not be able to accomplish
this before the time for our next reg

March," he continued.
I'VE can not, of course, discuss
what changes, II any, may follow our
! final consideration of the report.
| Nothing along that line will be given
out until we have acted upon the
| presentment.
"It may be that special meeting
| will be called, bAt ] can not say now
whether we will take this course. You
may say, however, that we will go
| over the entire matter at our next
| meeting, whenever il occurs"
