missing man in prison,
BUI A WOMAN WHO LOVES
HIM IS GLAD TO HEAR IT
There Is one woman in Atlanta who
l. glad that her husband or brother or
tome one she loves is a prisoner. At
Irast she Is glad to know where he is.
There Is a touch of grim humor follow
ing a tragedy of Monday.
In the undertaking establishment of
[Barclay & Brandon lies the body of the
unknown man who hurled himself from
the Magnolia street bridge before a
i moving train Monday morning. The
Kalwart frame, the broad shouldera,
the muscles that stand out on arms
and breast, Indicate that he was a man
whn'e physical strength was something
to be envied.
All Tuesday morning there vfere call
ers at the Improvised morgue who
asked to see the body. There were
n#rt who had a brother answering the
description In the newspapers; there
sere women whose husbands had been
missing for days; there were those who
knew the habits of sons or brothers
twho never take up a paper without _
fear of seeing In staring headlines the
name of the man closest to them. It
wae a study In human expression, that
timid, frightened glance nt the cold
body, then the relief which came with
the knowledge that It was "only
stranger." Jt Is easy to bo Indifferent
when one’s own home Is left untouched.
One woman called early Monday. She
was nervous, excited, trembling.
“f don’t know—’’ she stammered,
thought—I didn’t know—It might
Conyers—I want to aee him."
She was led to the room where the
dead man lay. She looked at the body
closely. There must have been some
resemblance to the man she sought, for
she hesitated.
"I don’t know yet—I must wait;
said. And she left the room.
In a few moments the telephone rang.
One of the Arm answered tt. Over the
wires came this message:
"It's all right, and I'm so glad. Con
yers Is In the stockade.’’

IS HUMAN WRITING PAD;
NEW MARINE HAS QUEER
KIND OF SENSITIVE SKIN
Of the thousands of men In the
United State* marine corps, qne lust
enlisted In Atlanta bears the distinc
tion of being In some respects the most
remarkable In tho service.
He Is afflicted. If affliction It may be
called, with urticaria, but by the su
perstitious known as ’’devil writing."
And he has the satisfaction of knowing
lhat the affliction he has only appears
In about every hundred thousandth per.
■on.
This man Is James Arthur Ford, and
lor the next four year* he will wear the
uniform of Uncle Bam and do duty on
the high seas on board men of war.
White the official name given by the
doctors to the affliction which Ford has
Is one that carries horror with It, nev
ertheless tho affliction is nothing more
than having a highly sensitive skin that
retains for a half hour or more any
mark made upon it with a blunt instru
ment.
This human freak was discovered
Monday by Lieutenant L. P. Pinkston,
to charge of the Atlanta recruiting of
fice, and Ills surgeon. Lieutenant G. G.
Hart. It was noticed that wherever
anything touched Ford a red mark ap
peared and remained,, although the
freak suffered no Inconvenience what
ever. \ <
Immediately Dr. Hart recognised
Ford a man having urticaria, a skin
affliction that is rare Indeed, and one
that he has only aeen once or twice
his experience.
In order to demonstrate Juit what
effect marking by blunt instruments
would have upon Ford'a akin, Lieuten
ant Pinkston and Dr. Hart Tueaday
morning put him on exhibition in the
recruiting offices In the Austell build
ing and ahowed several newspaper men
how Ford could get along In the world,
even If he was not equipped with pen
cl! and paper. Marks made with
smooth key turned the akin into -
white line for an Instant and almost
Immediately red was substituted for
the white, and these, red marks re
mained for a half hour.
All sorts of names and Inscriptions
were written on the man, and not only
did they not give him Any pain', but
not the slightest irritation. And until
he was told by the examining sur
geon that he had a rare affliction, Ford
did not know that he had something
which It Is doubtful if any other marine
In the service has.
Dr. Hart says there Is nothing serious
In the affliction, and that 1(1* simply

of his people is marked In this fash

By SAM P. JONES, JR,

The first session of the Woman'

First Baptist church, of Cartsrsvllle;
Mr*. W. H. Felton, on behalf of the
First Methodist church of Cartersville,
and Mr*. "Bill Arp” Smith, on behalf
of the Presbyterian church of this city.
The addresses of welcome were re
sponded to by Mr*, W. A. Johnson, of
Fayetteville.
After the addresses the union pro
ceeded at once to the reading of re
ports, which consumed the balance of
the time allotted to the afternoon ses
sion.
Evening Session.
At 7:30 Monday evening the union
convened again In the church, and the
meeting was led by Mr*. Bond, of West
Point. That part of the evening session
which was open to the public consisted
principally of addresses from foreign

upon the convention. Interesting talks
were made by Rev. Colder Willingham,
returned missionary to Japan, who.
with hi* wife, Is attending the meeting
of the Woman's Union; Mrs. Harvey
Clark, missionary to Japan; Miss Ida
Truitt, missionary to China, and Mrs.

Upon entering Into executive session
the union heard a resolution that was
read by Mrs. J. W. Wills, of Atlanta,
recording secretary, recommending that
the offices of corresponding secretary
and that of the treasurer be combined,
and that the office of the leader of the
Young Ladles’ work and the Sunshlno
work also b* combined and that sal
aries be attached to them. This was
considered radical legislation,

Today Caruso had a lot to aay, deifying
almost everything in connection with

to show up the park police system.
The police are doing considerable
work, too, although not talking a* vig
orously as Caruso. They promise to
produce Mrs. Hannah Graham, the
woman who made the complaint
against Caruso. The latest report la
that the woman is'a personal friend of
Cain, the arresting detective.
Cain is being back-id by him officials

Planned Daring Ride.
.. was the desire of Cooper to give
his friends a daring ride which led to
the fatal accident. As he shot his ma
chine Into the park, Cooper told them:
"I will give you the ride of your life,”
A abort way down the path the car
of Richard A. Strong was stalled, hav

It from Cooper’s view. Just before hit

of the stalled car.
The Hying machine locked wheels
with the Btrong car. It turned a com

"Not Foolish Prohibitionist.”
I am a prohibitionist, but not a fool
ish prohibitionist. I love the cause of
the' amt-saloon crusade, but I love It
too well to slaughter It or bo a party

wild vehemence of some and the pu

who would lead to a disastrous precip
itation of a campaign before any real
foundation for It was laid.
I wish to toy two things about this
letter sent out by me:
First. That no church was designedly
omitted and Indeed the letters were ex.
hausted before all the list* in hand
were reached. For Instance, no one on
the list for 8t. Mark Methodist church
received the letter and one or two oth
ers were omitted for the same reason,
namely, that I did not have the letter*
to eemf them.

Will Havo Prohibition,
Two facta to mo are clear. We are
going to have state prohibition In Geor- ’

It must seem strange to the mnn In

men, chiefly ministers of the gospel,
