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.

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. i Jim Gaston Conies Home. Air. Jim Gaston who has been in college at Staunton, Va., has re turned home to spend the vacation. Jim looks hale and hearty, and his friends are glad to have him home again. Back With G. M- We are glad to know that our old friend Bas Dodson is again with the G. M. Railway.

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 pulpit at the regular evening service. Returned from Rome Mrs. C. C.

Pon der, who was for a number of years pastor of the Presbyterian church here, is this week visiting friends in the city. Miss Ponder made hosts 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- SI.OO a Year in Advance NUMBER 24 ' 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. nr .
