SI.OO Per Annum A GEORGIA GIRL IN FRENCH JAIL Miss Crane, of Decatur, Has Sad Experience FROM AUTOMOBILE RIDE, Refused to Marry an American and Got Locked Up in a Country Hotel. Paris, May 11.—United States Consul-General Gowdy recently received a letter from an Ameri can girl, saying she was locked up in a provincial jail without any charge having been made against her. The consul general sent a representative to the jail and secured the girl’s release and return to Paris. He then cabled to her parents residing at Decatur, Ga., requesting funds for her re turn to America. The girl related a sensational story. She claimed to have been abducted by an American seeking to marry her, and she had accom panied him on an automobile tour, was locked up in a room in a country hotel, escaped and at' tempted to walk across the coun try, but was arrested as a wan derer by the French authorities. Will Be Fittingly Celebrated in Dalton FRIDAY MAY THIRTEENTH General Clement A. Evans Will De liver the Address to the Con federate Veterans Atlanta, Ga., May 12.—Inves tigation developed the fact that the young woman referred to in the above Associated Press dis patch from Paris is Miss Belle Crane, of Decatur, Ga., who went to Loudon about a year ago to give concert readings. Miss Crane attended the Agnes Scott Institute a number of years, and was well known and much admired in Atlanta. Her father, B. S. Crane, holds a prominent position with the Virginia-Caro- lina Cement Company, and was very much distressed at the iir- definite reports that had been re ceived by him from the American consul, General Gowdy. He had heard nothing direct from hb daughter in several weeks, but about eight days ago, in response to a cable from General Gowdy that Miss Crane was in Paris and wished to return home, he cabled 1200 to pay the expenses of her return passage. Miss Crane went to Europe in company with a party of friends from Cincinnati, having met them through a school friend, Miss Burbank, of Atlanta, who had married a gentleman in that city. She had contracted with a Mr. Angel, an American, who was going to Europe, accompanied by his wife, to give a series of con cert readings in England, but upon the death of Mrs. Angel the plan was dropped, and Miss Crane went to live with a Miss Lestrade, in London, seeing no more of Mr. Angel. Several weeks ago she left London to go to Paris, but noth ing was heard from her by her family here or her friends in Lon don until receipt of ti e cablegram from the American consul. Mr. Crane could throw no light upon the sensational inci dent narrated in the Associated Press dispatch. He had not been alarmed for his daughters safety, believing she was still in London, at the house of her friend. Miss Crane will probably reach the city within the next two weeks. Memorial exercises will be held on tomorrow, Friday 13th. If the weather is pleasant the pro gram will be given at the con federate cemetery, the procession forming promptly at 2 o’clock p m. at the Court House. Should the weather be unfavorable exer cises will be held in the Court House. General Clement A. Evans, Georgia’s distinguished son, will deliver the address on this occasion. The Daughters of the Confed eracy earnestly request that the people bring an abundance of flowers with which to decorate the graves. All persons are invited to attend, and it is hoped that each one will feel it a pleasant duty to be present. Mr. H. P. Colvard and Dr. Glenn McAfee will be marshals, of the day, and the Daughters of the Confederacy request that every one be governed by the re quests and orders of the marshals so that a regular line can be formed, and not a straggling column as heretofore.

The Amount Paid nonday by Secre tary Leslie n. Shaw. The immediate payment of 140,000,000—in response to the largest single draft ever made on the United States treasury—con cluding the trade with the French owners of the Panama canal, is impressive. The significance is two-fold. It shows, on the one hand, the ability of the govern ment to meet the contractual ob ligations it assumes, and, on the other, the force of the American will—when there is something to acquire. The United States government was complacent when the French men, under the leadership of De Lessepe, the builder of the Suez canal, undertook t<^cut the Isth mus of Darien. The French cor poration failed of its purpose. The necessity of the canal to the commerce of the world was mani fest. When the project had col lapsed, so far as the original owners were concerned, Uncle Sam steps in and asks “what will you take?” As $40,000,000 was the price,-he pays it. In the meantime, however, he had don# some other things, the propriety of which may yet be in question. At any rate the canal route is ours and the canal itself will now be carried .to completion as rap idly as possible under the impulse of American money and energy and skill. American genius springs, in this instance, from the ashes of French failure. To us will belong the credit of shorten ing the distance between the great ports of the world. Facili tated commerce means better un derstanding among the people of the earth, a closer knowledge of each other, a step toward the Tennysonian prophecy of “the federation of the world.” The fact that under the flag of the United States the ships of all the nations shall pass through the canal, implies an achievement in some respects -unparalleled in American history. It gives us a grip that may not easily be loosened. Dramatic, indeed, in the high est sense was the delivery of the warrant for $40,000,000 to the French owners of the canal yes terday by Secretary Leslie M. Shaw.—Macon Telegraph. In The Beautiful Valley. Alaculsy AT FOOT OF BLUEC0HUTTAS Scenery That is Unsurpassed—Tim- berin Abundance and a soil That is Unequalled. EDITORIAL OVERFLOW. A Mexican smuggler was shot five times while trying to swim the Rio Grande last week. The way 7 of the trans Greaser is hard. The treasury surplus entirely disappeared last week, and until after election the deficit will be increasing into the millions. If this is prosperity, what is adver sity?

Workmen have begun digging the Hotel Dalton sewer which has proved a Panama Canal in a small way, so far as the negotiations have been concerned. Dr. Howard’s Dyspepsia Specific; Ragular Price 50c., Fincher & NIchors Price 35c. The special half price sale of Dr. Howard’s specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsia by Fincher & Nichols means the saving of a few dollars on every family’s yearly bill for medicines. Each 50 cent bottle (Fincher & Nichols sell it for 25c.) con tains sixty doses of a medicine that is pleasant to take and which can be depended upon to cure the worst case of constipation, dys pepsia^ or liver trouble. Fincher & Nichols have so much faith in the superior merit of this medi cine that they sa): “If Dr. How ard’s specific does not cure you come back to our store and we will return yonr money.” If your are troubled with con stipation, headache or dizziness, or if your food does not digest naturally and easily, you cannot afford to let pass the special price that Fincher & Nichols are mak ing this week on Dr. Howars’s specific. This remedy is not an ordinary medicine. It is the favorite form ula of a well known physician and has the endorsement oi bun dreds of physicians of eminence in their profession, who prescribe it in all cases of constipation, dys pepsia or liver trouble, knowing from experience that it will make a complete and lasting cure. The Alaculsy Lumber Company is now working a large force of hands at its camps at Crandall, and has the appearance of that healthy activity so characteristic of prosperity. A visit to the camps of this con cern will convince the most skep tical of the immense amount of timber on its possessions in the mountains of the Alaculsy. Tram roads have been built, penetrating the mountains for two and one-half miles, from the ends of which a trough track has been built about the same distance. Thus it will be seen that it is now into the wilds of the mountains something like five miles, though its timber lands extend more than fifteen miles, which will in time be penetrated by these tram roads, the scenery along which cannot be surpassed by any section of the United States. The Cohutta Mountains are to day one of the most beautiful chains in America, and their beauty and grandeur at this sea-^ son are entrancing in the extreme, and any person who loves and appreciates nature would be lost in meditation at the sight of the blue Cohuttas during this gorgeous season when nature is attired in her most beautiful robes, and the birds are singing their sweetest songs, and the pure, clear, spark' ling streams as they ripple down the mountain sides, make an ac _ companiment,the whole of which is fit for the gods. Such are the surroundings at the camps of the Alaculsy Lum ber Company. Mr. J. W. Beard, the manager, is of the opinion that the L. & N. railroad will come through or near the camps, basing his opinion on the fact that the plants are on a direct line from Wetmore to Marietta. He says; “The L. & N. is almost sure to come our way; I do not believe it will touch Dalton.” If this be true there is not much likelihood of the Alaculsy Lumber Company completing its line into Dalton, which is now graded, most of the bridges and trestles built, and lias ties bought, which of course would be very much regrettedby our citi zens. The people of Dalton have long wished for the completion of this road which would be of so much good to the people of Mur' ray county as well as Whitfield. However, if the L. & N. comes through Dalton, as it most likely will, there is hope of the D. & A. being built into Dalton also. The company must have an outlet for its lumber, and if it cannot get it one way it must have it another. The company has one of the finest farms in Murray county where fine stock may be raised A large peach orchard has been put out, and many improvements made. The farm is being well tended and gives evidence of that yankee thrift which wrings sue cess out of failure. It is about one mile from the famous Cohutta springs the way the crows fly while it is about three miles the way one has to driue. The land is very fertile and produces well Through the courtesy of Mr. C S. Wilkinson and wife, the party consisting of Mr. and Mis. C. R Evans, Mr. George L. Lewis and the editor of The Citizen, was shown through the camps and carried far up into the mountains It is understood that Senator Smoot has received warning that if he wants to read his title clear next winter, he had better be mighty careful and not let Utah or Idaho go democratic in Novem ber. In his last stump speech in congress, General Grosvenor de clared “the hysterical cry r of imperialism has been laughed out of court by the people as unworthy of consideration.” Has the fact been laughed out of sight that imperialism has thus far cost the people about $800,000,000, with no dividends either on republican preferred stock or “steal com mon?” Has the prevalent impression that Latin nations are uncommon ly sensitive been a mistake? Here we find Colombia instantly 7 for getting the loot of her territory at our hands and sending Dr Herran back to reopen the lega tion in Washington. Well, some people wouldn’t care for a little thing like that. Opens at the Chapel Tomorrow Evening at the DALTON FEMALE COLLEGE Judge Emory Speer and Mar shal John M. Barnes MAY RESORT CODE DUELLO A Challenge Practically Sent to the Federal Judge By His Removed Marshal. Dave Henderson has posted back to Iowa with his crutches, reputation and rheumatism. His ambition for metropolitan meth ods has vanished. He says that all the time he was in New York, like Josh Whitcomb, he kept ask ing, “Where's* the fire ?” Senator Scott must expect to be persona non grata with the president after conceding the pos sibility of “New York, and such other states as New Jersey 7 , Con necticut, Indiana, and Nebraska” being carried by the democrats in November. In his speech before the New York Chamber of Commerce last week Secretary Taft declared, as reported by that thick-and-thin administration organ, The Trib une, that Aguinaldo and his forces were our allies during the contest with Spain. Let’s see. Isn’t that one of these truths which were recently classified as “anti-imperialist lies?” Perhaps Secretary Taft will not tell us how we came to fire upon our allies? The democratic platform will demand self-government for the Filipinos, whoever heads the ticket. General Miles in his speech before the Iroquois Club, Chicago, remarked incidentally that “about two hundred days” would be* long enough to effect the transition from a satraphy to a republic. A member of the Panama Com mission frankly admits that he didn’t do much on the Isthmus exoept draw his salary and his breath and $15 a day for lations.

The Spring Place base ball club will come over Saturday and play the Junior team here at Sunset Park. Game called at 8 o’clock Admission, 10 and 20 cents. Breath Hyomei and Kill All Ca tarrhal Oerms. “Money Back If It Fails,” Say Hightower & Talley. There is no dangerous stomach druggiug when using Hyomei. The healing and aromatic balsams which compose this wonderful treatment, are breathed through a neat pocket inhaler that comes with every -$1 outfit. In this way, the germ-killing and health-giving Hyomei pene trates to the most remote cells of the lungs. It searches out and kills disease germs in the nil- passages of the head, throat and nose, soothes and heals the irri tated mucous membrane, and ab solutely drives catarrh from the system. Such remarkable results have followed the use of Hyomei by the best people in Dalton, that Hightower & Talley have the greatest confidence in its power to cure catarrh. They believe in it so thoroughly, that they will give their personal guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure, the purchaser to be sole judge. This is an unusual offer, and the first time that any medicine or treatment for the cure of ca tarrh has been sold in this way. If it cures, the expense is trifling, while if it fails, the cost is abso lutely nothing. If you are fortunate enough not to be troubled with catarrh, tell your friends of Hightower & Talley’s offer, and get them to take advantage of it. not where prayer is wont to be made, but where the eye feasts on gorgeous scenery and the heart is filled with reverence for the things that are. The party was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Wilkinson in their characteristic hospitality, and was made to feel that it was good to have been with them. The St. Louis Fair is an ex pensive luxury. The Philippine show, reckoned last year at $250,- 000, has already cost a million, and the little brown people have got to pay for it. Philadelphia has a $20,000 model of its water filter system as an exhibit; and ft cargo of Irish lace, valued at $2,500,000, was recently brought over by the Etruria. The Dalton Buggy Company is in the market for your trade. Macon, Ga., May 14.—John M. Barnes, late marshal of the south ern district of Georgia, said to night in regard to his removal: “The article dictated for publi cation by Judge Emory Speer, in this morning’s Telegraph, bears on its face its authorship so plain ly as to need no reply to those who know the man. It appears to be a mongrel attempt to prejudice me before the Southern people, among whom, unlike him, I do not live as a renegade, and to prove a reputation for courage which every one knows he does not possess. No revolting ex pressions were used about the judge at Valdosta, and none were uttered that he did not hear or was not informed about. “The provocation for this I am ready to establish upon the wit ness stand, for no other purpose than the patriotic intention of ex posing a tyrant and an unim peached affliction who wears the ermine yet, through the neglect of a prosecuting officer. “In an effort to conceal the lack of those manly instincts, which tkould have served even a nervous aspirant for the office of ‘Southern gentleman,’ this life in cubus upon a long suffering peo ple has sought to shelter himself behind a sentiment, which those of that blood that blushed for him would die to defend. In his dic tation he says the marshal was displeased because he, Judge Speer, took occasion, in his charge to the grand jury, to make lauda tory remarks with reference to confederate veterans. “The parents of the marshal, then in office, had ten first cousins killed in the confederate army, and every ounce of blood and every dollar of property was laid upon the altar of that ill-starred republic. No man can distort the criticism upon a circus, masquer ading under the guise of a court, into an unfriendly expression to ward the confederate dead. Such an effort to dispell the criticism made, because a court, instead of attending to the government’s business, sought to make itself a billboard of assumed virtues be fore an audience gathered together by the court attendance, in the light of our respective histories, must fail. If he says that such an intention as to the confederate dead was mine, his words are as false as his motives are foul, and if he, as the author, has satisfied himself of his courage sufficiently to state what he has written be hind my back, he may have the opportunity of refuting his an swer by reliable evidence, if he does it, or otherwise by the usual course of the Southern gentleman, made in a manner known to all brave men. “In conclusion, permit me to state that, despite the reputation for unflinching courage, Judge Speer, as a newspaper correspond ent, has established for himself, if he undertakes to reiterate the statement therein contained re flecting on myself, he lies in his throat and in his soul. In the language of Lamar, these are words which no good man will deserve and no brave man will wear.”
