REAL FIST FIGHTS EX
PECTED AT CHICAGO.
Chairman of National Committee Hires Doc i
tors and Worses to Care for Injured at
the Coming G. 0. P. Pow-wpw.
Chicago, 111., June 10—Knock*
down fights, the real bare-fist vari
ety, with no gloves and no referee,
are expected when the republican
national convention tries to get
down to business here.
The Taft men say they will con
trol.
The Roosevelt men say that they I
have control.
LaFollette’s followers and ’ the
others outside the Roosevelt-Taft
factions are having little to say.
Chairman Harry New, of the re
publican national committee, antici
pates trouble of the worst kind.
He knows that there will be knock
downs, broken noses and other
things happening at the G. O. P.
pow-wow and he began to make
preparations for the handling of the
injured today.
He will have temporary hospitals
provided near the convention hall.
Today he started out in search of
trained nurses and physicians to
take care of the injured. He ob
tained the services of enough to
equip the hospitals and says that if
the injured list runs higher, Chica
go’s regular hospitals will have to
come to the rescue. That’s as far
as the party will go.
“I don’t expect murder,” said
New today, in admitting that he
had engaged the nurses and doctors.
“But this convention is going to
knock the spots off of all others that
have been held by the republican
party. Watch.”
It has been suggested that the
national committee could obtain
enough money to defray all ot its
expenses to sell gallery seats for
this—it would be even a better card
than the real “pugs” could put on.

GAINESVILLE. GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1912.
< SUIT BROUGHT FOR PROP-
ERTY WORTH THOUSANDS.
Some of the Most Valuable Business Prop
erty in City at Stake.
J. M. Boyd has brought seven suits
in the Superior court of Hall county,
Georgia, to recover a one-forty-fith in
terest in certain property in the city of
Gainesville. Hall county, Georgia.
Six of the defendants are Mrs. Fran
ces A. Sanders, executrix of C. C. San
ders; M. C. Brown, H. B. Smith,
Charlie Cinciolo, et al, Gainesville Pub
lishing Co., and George and P. A.
Lathem, which embraces the property
known as the State Bank corner and
including th** stores occupied by Frank
Brice, Lathem Bros., Ciaciolo & Co.,
on the Public Square, and the Herald
Office and H. B. Smith’s office on Main
street.
The other suit is against R. F. Quil
lian and brothers, and is for a one-forty
ftfbh interest in some farming land in
Hall county known as the Phil M.
Byrd place.
The suit involves the construction of
the Will of Phil M. Byrd who died in
1867 leaving the property now sued for
to his wife for life, and at her death to
Emiline M. Chapman for life, and at
her death to her children, or representa
tives of children.
The clause about which the tight
hinges reads as follows:
“I give and bequeath to my beloved
niece, Emiline M. Chapman, for and
during her natural life all the estate,
both real and personal, or mixed, con
veyed by the third item of this will to
my wife, Mary, after her estate therein
is over. The estate in this item con
tained at the death of my said niece,
Emiline M. Chapman, shall pass to and
become the property in equal shares
of the children or representatives of
children (including Joseph L. Chapman
the husband) of the said Emiline M.
Chapman.”
It appears from the records of Hall
Superior that in 1885 a bill was tiled to
have the property partitioned and an
order was granted in 1889, and the
Gainesville land now sued for was sold
at public outcry for division and the
proceeds divided among the said ExniiXo
M. Chapman and her children and those
who had purchased from her children.
The land was bought by Y. J. Har
rington, and afterwards sold to C. C.
and M. M. Sanders, and after this the
land was divided up and sold to various
parties now in possession.
The plaintiff, J. H. Boyd, alleges in
his petition that the life tenant, Emi
line M. Chapman, diedin 1911, and that
the plaintiff is not bound by deed made
by his mother, nor by the partition
proceedings.
The case will probably be determined
upon the construction of the said Phil
M. Byrd as to whether the remainder
! interest vested absolutely in the chil
i dren of Emiline M. Chapton so as to
pass by their deeds and by the partition
proceedings, or whether the children of
Emiline M. Chapman were only life
tenants, and the grandchildren of Emi
line M. Chapman remaindermen.
It is understood that Messrs. W. A.
Charters, H. H. Dean, and Ed Quillian
have been employed to defend the suit,
and that the contention of defendants
will be that they obtained a perfectly
good title from Emiline M. Chapman
and all of her children, including the
i mother of the plaintiff, Boyd, and that
! there is no remainder interest outstand
ing.
While the plaintiff only claims a one
-1 forty-fifth undivided interest in the
1 property sued for, this suit is brought
ias a test case, and if the plaintiff is
successful the other grandchildren of
Emiline M. Chapman will undoubtedly
enter suit for their shares, but if Boyd
fails to recover there will be no use for
i the others to bring suit.
; Messrs. J. M. Merritt and J. J. and
I Roy Strickland are attorneys for Boyd.

OLD HALL COUNTY MAN DIED
SUDDENLY IN KANSAS..
Was Raised in Fork District —a Brane Soldier
in the Late War
We are in receipt of tne Tonga
noxie, Kansas. Mirror which
bears the news of the death of Mr.
T. J. Carter, an old time res: lent
of Hall county, which occurred a
few days ago from a stroke of appo
plexy.
Mr. Carter was raised in the F' >rk
District, served a as a brave soldier
in the war between the States, and
moved to Missouri m 1868. He,
had become quite wealthy. Had
raised ten children, all of whom are
still living, this being the first death
that has occurred in the family.
Mr. Carter was a brother oi the
wife of the late James A. Findley
and married a sister of Mr. J. P.
Prater of this city.
When Mr. Carter went to Mis
souri in 1868, removing to Kansas
recently., he was accompanied
by Messrs Harrison Martin, Boss
Porter. Bose Robinson, and Na
thaniel Smith. They went by
wagon, and in passing through Illi
nois they got in the midst of a very
startling and almost tragic experi
ence. It was during the Presiden
tial campaign when Seymour and
Blair were pitted against Grant and
Colfax. These Georgians were of
course violent Democrats, and had
“Seymour and Blair” painted in
big red letters all over the wagons.
The first little town they struck in
Illinois they were met by a peremp
tory demand to have this sign
rubbed off. A orowd began to
gather around the wagons. Old
Man Harrison got out an old Colt’s
cap and ball shooter
about two feet long—and swore a
nine-jointed oath that he would
shoot the first man that touched
that sign. He had no more than
said this than he was covered with
about fifty guns—John Martin says
there were a thousand, but fifty was
enough., anyhow. Boss Porter was
cool-headed, and. he said, “All
right., Harrison, I reckon we’d
better take her off.” And so he
took off the sign good and proper
while Harrison was smothered up
by the mob.
Will Preach at St. Paul.
Rev. John S. Jenkins will preach
at St. Paul next Sunday morning—
Rev. A. F. Nunn again filling the

Miss Ponder Visits.

of friends during her sojourn in
Gainesville who are always glad to
have her return for a visit.
Mr. Darnell is Out.
Mr. S. W. Darnell of the Estes
department store, who has been
quite sick at his home for the, past
week, to the delight of his many
friends is able to be out again.
BLACK JACK ASSOCIATION
AGAIN UNITES WITH CHURCH J
Church Abolishes Dancing. Horse-Racing and
Bull-Figbting—and the Association
Conies Back.
Some weeks ago the Black Jacks ;
turned loose from the Church on
the ground that it were not liv
ing up to its teachings—there had
been resolutions set before the
Moguls of the Chuch petitioning
these dignitaries for the allowance
of dancing, horse-racing, bull-fight
ing, and in many other ways to
permit its members to renounce the
old-time teachings that such sms
were punishable by the torture
of everlasting fire in Hades, or
Pandemonium, or the Regions of
Abaddon, or whatever you may
choose to term it, and on those
principles the Association had sev
ered connection with the Church.
But, now, acting upon the sug
gestions of the Association that
they (the Church) eliminate these
evils and fall back to the ancient,
Right Reverend Religion of the
Campbellites, Hard-Shell Baptists,
and Torch-Light Methodists, the
Association feels that it can again
unite with the Church, and in so
doing Ht can feel that its honorable
membe'rs will not be injured by
associating with an organization
that does not comply with its own
teachings as set out m its Statutes
oi Limitations.
The following is the report of
the Committee outstanding for in
vestigation. Hon. Mobumpus Riley,
Chairman.
“We, your Committee on Hard
Cider and Poke Root, beg to en
lighten the Association to the fol
lowing, to-wit, vizable:
“We have upon communication
with the Great Giasticutus of the
Church found that the resolutions
turned in to the Grand Moguls of
the Church to permit the foregoing
■evils set out in the editor's note,
have been unanimously renounced,
and that they will not be tolerated
m the Church so far as it can pre
vent, But, peradventure some of
the Dime Anty fellows, that is, the
Rausum Gitters of the Church, that
pay 10 cents per week incidental
lees, happen to do these things and
the Church does not find it out, un
der those conditions, such things
may exist without the Church's
knowledge, and this being the case
the Association can not hold the
Church responsible tor such, and
we do hereby recommend that our
Order extend the Right Hand of
Fellowship to the Church after
eliminating these evils; and further
recommend that a special commit
tee be appointed to inform the
Church of the Assaciation’s action
in the matter.”
This done in open council, at the
Castle at Ft. Peeler, with Vice-
Grand Mogul Lim Burger on the
box, on the evening of June 10th,
1912.
N. B.—Brother Mose Clark will
be initiated into the mysteries of
the Waterwagon Degree at the
next regular meeting night. The
Tar and Feather Committee is es
pecially urged to be on hand.
Dale—Purcell
Mr. Methvin Furcell, formerly of
this city, but who has been for
sometime past connected with the
Commerce Observer, and Miss Aline
Dale, also of Commerce, we married
last Thursday noon at the home of
the bride’s parents.
Mr. Purcell has many friends in
the city who will be interested to
learn of bis marriage. He was con
nected with the Eagle here for
some time, going later to Commerce
where he has also made many
friends.
They are at home to their friends
at the residence of Mr. Purcell’s
parents on Longstreet avenue-

' THE EAGLE WANTS TO MAKE
ANOTHER SUGGESTION TO
OUR ABLE CITY FATHERS.
A Suggestion that Should he Taken up Be
fore it is Too Late—ln Regard to Auto
mobile Drivers.
•
Gainesville authorities have been
very zealous under the present ad
ministration in catching blind tigers
and crap-shooters and those who
sometimes fudge on the curfew law,
but there are other things of as
much importance to the body, if not
the sou), as the aforementioned evils.
And one that we especially note is
that of allowing children to drive
automobiles sometimes children
under 12 years old pass us by on the
streets driving an automobile.
This should be looked after. If
the parents allow it, the city officials
should not allow it. There is no
city that will allow a child to run
an automobile on its streets. If
the child does not hurt itself in some
way, there is more or less danger of
its running over others. There is no
12-year-old child that is capable of
handling a car. Thev are not strong
enough—they havent enough judge
ment. Nearly all cities forbid a
person to handle an automobile that
has no license—that is not thor
oughly up on the business of stop
ping the machine under any kind of
circumstances. It is not safe.
Even an older person—a man is
very liable to an accident at times
with a machine, and bow much
more is it dangenous for a little
child, that has not developed into
the teens, to run a machine on the
streets where there are people walk
ing all the time?
It is only a question of time until
it will have to be regulated here.
It has been regulated everywhere
else,and it will be better to legislate
against it now than hereafter, for
be it said, “a stitch in time saves
nine.”
We would suggest that you look
into the matter at your next meet
ing, gentlemen.
Where the parents look not prop
erly after their children the law has
it to do for the safety of other peo
ple.
The Eagle's Advertisers.
W. A. Turner, the man on the square,
is this week taking a quarter pager in
The Eagle to let our subscribers see
what he has to offer m the June Special
Sale. It would stand you in hand t
read his ad if you are looking for some
real bargains.
Then there is Atkinson Millinery Co.,
selling hats. If you need a new hat you
could do no better than to look this
line over. We have seen some big ones,
and some small ones too, that came from
there and they were beauties.
And the Star Jewelry Store, Messrs.
Vater & Lederer proprietors, are taking
some space in the “bird” this week.
Everybody likes jewelry—it is pretty to
be decked with—watches, fobs, rings,
etc., and this Company is offering a
heavy discount on many of their articles.
See them early.
And our old friend, D. D. Jackson,
familiarly called Dedudious, is also
saying a whole lot about buying cloth
ing. D. D. is on the square and you
will do mighty well to give him a call,
for he will treat you right.
