BRIDE WHO ELOPED NOW
WANTS TO COME BACK HOME
Apparently Former Miss Florence Pckard Did Not Get RICH
Sweetheart When She Married Recently.

The Macon Telegraph says that
Miss Florence Pickard's romantic
elopement with Everett Harrison, an
old sweetheart, while Karl Gustav
Karsten, the man she was engaged
to marry, was speeding to this coun-
try from England on an ocean liner
to claim her for his bride, has not
brought her the happiness that was
anticipated, is gained from a dis
patch to The Telegraph from Savan-
nah yesterday, in which it was stated
that Mrs. Harrison had wired her
mother, Mrs. w. L. Pickard, wife of
the new president of Mercer Univer-
sity, asking that she come to her or
send money for her to return home
from New York.
DR.. Pickard, who is in Macon, stat
ed yesterday that he had been noti-
fed by Mrs Pickard of the message
from their daughter and that she was
leaving Savannah in response to her
daughters appeal.
Il hold in my hands these tele-
grams from my wife, said DR.. Pick
ard, lone which received from Sa-
vannah Tuesday, reading as follows:
Florence wishes money to come
home at once, what shall I do about
it?' To which l replied by wire,
Send money at once, but see that
she gets it, Wednesday morning l
received this other telegram, read
ing: I go to Florence
THAT is all that l know at this
moment. I don't know where Flor

Notwithstanding 26 votes of
40 roouired two-thirds majority for
no enactment of a constitutional

and neruuisites of their offices.
representative Fulbright's main
oronment was that bills placing solic-
;+ors on salaries instead Of fees are
imnossible of enforcement, as al
roadv demonstrated, and therefore
in order to kill the fees the office it
self should be abolished.
4 The main argument against the
MIl was that many small counties
b srp without a lawyer able to cope
4 with the criminal lawyers employed
by defendants, and that even if they
y had LAWYERS of the requisite ability
B tbev would be financially unable to
& pmploy them as county prosecutors.
Representative Myrick of Chatham
smoke against the bill. He denied any
need or demand for its passage and
4 characterized it as unwise. He said
Il the small counties would not be able
to pay salaries sufficient to obtain
4 the services of competent prosecuting
attorneys,
Representative Harris of Wash
ingtOn spoke for the bill. He declar-
ed the system of paying fees to solic-
itors is one of the things that has
pssened the respect of the people fer
The courts.
Mr.. Cover of Crisp said it passed
lis understanding how any member
pf the house could deny the demand
for abolishing solicitors fees when
he people have been clamOring for
his reform for years.

ROSCOE LUKE WINNER
MAN is NAMED
AS DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Appointment Is End of a Long Fight
Which Dates Back Many Months.
West Named Several Men.

WASHINGTON.-Attorney Gener-
al McReynolds has certified to the
president the nam1 of Roscoe Luke
of Thomasville, Ga, to be United
States district attorney for the south
ern district of Georgia.
No further opposition is now an
ticipated to his confirmation by the
president and confirmation by the
senate. His name will probably get
to the senate within the next few
days. Senator Smith will offer no
objection to his confirmation.
End of Long Fight.
The end of a long fight, which
dated back to the last months Of
Senator Bacon's life, is at last in
sight Senator Bacon recommended
A. Pratt Adams, a young attorney
of Savannah, for this place. The
department of justice would not ac-
cept because the law firm composed
of his father, Judge Samuel B. Ad-
ans and himself, were counsel for
the Naval Stores trust.
West Recommended Many.
Senator West on reaching the SEN
ate recommended number of prom
inent South Georgia attorneys for the
place of district attorney, but none
were accepted.
Robert L. Berner of Macon, who
had the endorsement of Representa-
tives Hardwick and Bartlett of Geor-
gia, was the leading opposition can
didate.
Senator West would not agree to
recommend Mr. Berner, although he
had high regard for his talent and
ability as a lawyer, and they are per-
sonal friends.
He insisted upon his right to fili'
this place, and the department of
justice finally agreed on his nomi--
nee, Mr.. Luke.
1t is but fair to say that Attorney
General McReynolds has never mad
any personal candidate for the posi-
ton. His determination to keep Al
exander Alderman in office until the
naval stores case was decided was
based on Mr.. Ackermans familiarity
with that case. At the trial all the
defendants were exonerated, and the
government lost its case.
Eason May Be Assistant.
1t is expected that Thomas Easom
of McRae, formerly prison commits
sioner of Georgia, will be named by
Mr.. Luke as his first assistant. 1t
was the wish of the late Senator Ba-
con that Mr.. Eason should have this
place, and Senator West concurs in
that desire.
Officials of the federal court for
the Southern district of Georgia will
receive increased pay under bill
introduced in the senate today if it
is adopted.

HEIRS OF OFFICERS TO GET SALARIES
Due to Members of the United States
Army When They Quit to Join
the Confederate Forces.

Observation-Disclosures the
passage by both houses of congress
of a bill repeating the law which
forbade the payment of salaries to
officers of the United States army
who resigned to go to the Confedera-
cy at the outbreak of the war be-
tween the states the senate passed a
bill today appropriating $4,000 for
payment of these salaries to heirs Of
the officers concerned. officers who
resigned from the army to go to the
Confederacy were not paid the mon
ey due them between the preceding
pay day and the time of their resig-
nations and after the war law was
passed forbidding the payment of the
amounts.
Since the house concurred with
the senate in repeating this law, con-
currence in the appropriation is a
matter of course. Heirs of the fol-
lowing Georgia officers will then be
able to collect the amounts indi-

'PRIVATES" ESCAPE AT QUITMAN
Firing of Guards ON Military Boys
Alarms the Town.

QU1TMAN, Ga.-Last night at II
o'clock the early slumbers of citizens
were disturbed by the unusual sound
of five or six shots being fired in the
streets. Investigation revealed that
certain members of the new military
company, the Quitman Rifles, were in
a state of mutiny. and were being
pursued by the guards.
Early in the evening Capt. Gates
placed several members of the COM
pany under arrest for certain infrac-
lions of discipline. The guard was
instructed to fire if the prisoners at
tempted to leave the armory, it is
said. And that is what the guard
did do.
About II O'Clock the prisoners de-
cided they would go home and go to
bed and they started; the guard
started after them and when they
paid not attention to the order to halt
shot was fired across their bows.
This only added to their speed
however. 1t appears from cetrain
instances in the past, when the pri-
Yates sought to evade drill and other
duties, that many of them think mil
itary discipline joke and they don't
have To ohoV nrdarc un1nCc thoV want
to. Recently some of them were
chased all over town by officers sent
out to arrest them and bring them
to drill.
