BQDDENBERY IS DEAD
AFTER SHORT ILENESS
Congressman From Second
District Passed Away
Thursday. Afternoon
THOMASVILLE, Ga., Sept. 29.—S.
Anderson Roddenbery breathed his last
at his home here at 5:42 o’clock Thursday
afternoon after a short illness, At his
bedside wer the members of his family,
including: his two sons summoned from
college several days ago when it was
learned that physicians nad despaired
of saving the congressman's life. Mr.
Roddenbery’s death was due to heart
trouble and complications.
A nervous collapse forced Mr. Rod
denbery to return home from Washing
ton several weeks ago. For a time it
was thought that a few. weeks’ rest
from his unusually severe congressional
duties would restore health. His condi
tion gradually grew worse, however.
Mr. Roddenbery was a noted south
Georgia prohibition leader. He was
serving his third term as a member of
the house of representatives, having
succeeded the late Congressman James
Griggs, who, like Mr. Roddenbery, died
in office without a political defeat.

A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If coat
ed, or your child is listless, cross, fever
ish, breath bad, restless, doesn’t eat
heartily, full of cpld or has sore throat
or any other children’s ailment, give a
teaspoonful of “California Syrup of
Figs,” then don’t worry, because it is
perfectly harm^ss, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently move
out of the bowels, and you have a well,
playful child again. A thorough “in

Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask

NORTH CAROLINA WILL
HAVE “GOOD ROADS DAY”
Governor Craig Calls on All
Citizens to Shoulder Pick
and Shovel
(By Associated Press.)
RALEIGH, N. C., Sept. 29.—Declaring
that the people of North Carolina lose
twelve million dollars annually because
of the poor condition of the state’s high
ways, Governor Locke Craig today is
sued a proclamation designating Novem
ber 5 and 6, as “good roads days,” and
calling upon all patriotic people through
out the state to work upon the public
roads of the state on those dates.
The governor pointed out that the
modern highway is essential to the ma
terial prosperity and social advance
ment of every community, and declared
the country has awakened to the im
portance of improved roads. “Every
where,” he said, “there is a generous
.rivalry to have the best, and every
where enthusiasm for them is apparent
and increasing.”
Characterizing the vast sum lost an
nually to the people of North Carolina
through lack of good roads as “a trib
ute paid to mud.” Governor Craig’s
proclamation calls upon “every able-
bodied man to shoulder his shovel,
march out and strike a blow for prog
ress.” The “good roads days” are ap
pointed as “days of festival, to celebrate
the beginning of a new era wherein im
proved highways shall be built in every
neighborhood.”
Summoning the people of every sta
tion to answer the call of patriotism, the
proclamation calls on the “farmer, the
merchant, the lawyer, the doctor, the
minister of the gospel, the rich and the
poor to enlist as volunteers in this
mighty army for grand accomplish
ment.” x ,

FAR NORTH EXPEDITION
HANDICAPPED AT START
(By Associated Press.)
EAGLE ISLAND, Me., Sept. 29.—
Donald B. MacMillan’s arctic expedition
is certain to be handicapped as a re
sult of its slow progress to date, in
the opionion of Rear Admiral Robert E.
Peary. The prime object of the expedi
tion is to explore Crocker Land, which
was discovered by Peary in 1906
Discussing the matter at his island
home here in the light of a letter just
received from MacMillan, Admiral Peary
said:
“It is unfortunate, but without fault
of MacMillan’s that he is at Etah. Mac
Millan is a fine young man, well fitted
for the task he has set himself and
thoroughly experienced. But he has run
into the ice that comes piling down
through Smith sound, between Etah and
Cape Sabine.
“It is bound to handicap him. By the
time the ice is safe to cross, the artic
night will be advanced and MacMillan
will have only about a month to do nec
essary preliminary work.”

Her New Husband, Formerly
of Macon, Faces Charges
Before Presbyterian Church
Board in Texas — Was For
merly Miss Lillian Phillips,
Told Husband of Other Man
Before Leaving -- Was Mar
ried to Mr, Yeaton When 18
Years Old
Dispatches to The Journal last night
from Fort Worth, Tex., tell of the mar
riage of an Atlanta young woman to a
young Presbyterian minister, formerly
of Macon, after she had obtained di
vorce from her first husband, whom
she married when eighteen years old.
Her maiden name was restored when the
divorce was granted.
The minister has been summoned be
fore his church board because of the
affair.
The Atlantians who figured in the
drama are Mr. and Mrs. William Hall
Yeaton, and the minister is Rev. Lloyd
B. Field. Mr. Yeaton is the credit man
for the International Agriultural Corpo
ration, of this city ,and has an apart
ment at 17 West Cain street.
Rev. Mr. Field, who formerly was
pastor of several small Presbyterian
churches at Macon, was early last April
called to the pastorate of the Presbyte
rian church at Warren, Ark. A year
before he left Macon he visited Atlanta
and a mutual friend introduced him to
Mrs. Yeaton at a soda fountain.
TOLD OF OTHER MAN.
An immediate attachment *grew up be
tween the minister and Mrs. Yeaton.
Mr. Yeaton knew nothing of his wife’s
acquaintance with the minister pntil
after the latter had gone to Arkansas.
One day in the. early part of last April,
ho says, his wife confided to him that
she was in love with Rev. Mr. Field and
announced her intention to go on a visit
to an uncle in Fort Worth.
Mr. Yeaton says he was deeply griev
ed and shocked, but feeling that there
had been no misconduct between his
wife and the minister he agreed for her
to go to Texas, hoping that after mature
reflection she would reconsider. He
states that he accompanied her to the
train, bought her a ticket, gave her
money, kissed her good-by, and that
from cities along the way of her jour
ney she sent him telegrams; that she
again wired him after her arrival at
Fort Worth and later wrote him en
dearing letters.
“I continued to correspond with my
wife and sent her liberal sums oi
money,” says Mr. Yeaton. “Two or three
months after she went away I learned
through a woman friend of hers that
she did not intend to return to me and
it was then, and then only, that I stop
ped sending her money. However, I
continued to write to her urging her to
reconsider and to do nothing that would
bring unhappiness to both herself and
to me.
ASKS FOR DIVORCE.
“On September 3 I received a letter
from my wife’s attorney requesting me
to waive service on divorce suit.
After thinking it over and deciding that
I should not endeavor to hold my wife
if she was determined to abandon me 1
complied with the request.
“Not until The Journal informed me
did'I know that Mrs. Yeaton had ob
tained the divorce and that she had
married Field. The entire matter is a
great shock and deeply embarrassing to
me. For my own defense I desire to
state that while it was true that Mrs.
Yeatop was under age when I married
her—being but eighteen—her mother
and father consented to the marriage
and the mother obtained the marriage
license for us. We were engaged a year
before marrying, and for the last eight
months of that period I was a boarder
in my wife’s hqme.
“If there was any incompatibility be
tween us I did not know it. Until just
a few days before she. went away to
Texas I was happy with her and had no
desire but to administer to her happi
ness. I lavished my salary and my at
tentions upon her.”
Mrs. Yeaton (now Mrs. Field), was
formerly Miss Lillian Phillips, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. L. Phillips, of
Warsaw, Richmond county, Va* Mr. and
Mrs. ff Yeaton resided together in At
lanta from September, 1911, to April,
1913.
HER LETTER TO YEATON.
A letter from his wife which was
written to Mr. Yeaton at the time her
attorney was requesting the waiver on
the divorce petition service follows:
"My Dear Bill:
“Today, perhaps, Mr. Burns will send
you the waiver to sign, y After careful,
serious thought I can see no other way.

Lying in Middle
Of Railroad Track
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.!
MACON, Ga., Sept. 29.—While walk
ing along the track of the Central of
Georgia railroad near the M. and A.
junction, three miles from the city, at
7 o’clock this morning, W. S. Daniels, a
section foreman, nearly stumbled upon
what appeared to be a bundle of clothes.
Stooping to pick it up, he was amazed
to discover that the object was a tiny
baby, lying face downward in the dirt
and cinders.
its little -eyes were almost blinded
with tears ana d.irt and its face was
badly bruised. However, the child was
very much alive and in lusty shape.
It had evidently cried for hours until
exhausted, for all it could do was sob
and in a heart-rendering manner.
The baby, a girl with luxuriant dark
hair, was wrapped up in two outing
kimonos and was also tied in a sling
to which was attached a rope made of
cloth torn from a woman’s underdress.
Apparently the infant had been lowered
out of a train window and dropped near
the track during the night. This is the
onjy supposition arrived at by those
who investigated the circumstances.

County Clerk in Texas
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
FORT WORTH, Tex., Sept. 29.—After
getting a divorce only a few days ago,
Miss Lillian Phillips, of Atlanta, Ga..
tonight married Rev. Lloyd B. Field, of
Warren, Ark. Miss Phillips obtained
her maiden name early this week, by an
order of Judge Marvin M. Brown, of the
Sixty-seventh district court. Formerly

on. one of the leading business men of

THREE “BANDITS” HELD
NNOGENT, OFFICERS SAY
Sentiment Is, However, That
Detectives Have Adopted At
titude for Purpose
(By Associated Press.)
TUSCALOOSA, Ala., Sept. 29.—Three
men are still held in jail in this city
in connection with the hold-up of Ala
bama Great Southern passenger train
about midnight Thursday night. These
men are Robert Vaugnan, aged about
sixteen; Harry H. Poll, and John Gan
non, three of the five men arrested
near Eutaw last night.
Detectives and local officers claim
that they do not believe the men in jail
are guilty parties, blit there is a feel
ing that this attitude is adopted for a
purpose. The prisoners are being kept
as much as possible from being inter
viewed, and the members of the train
crew have been positively instructed not
to discuss the situation. Detectives
have made numerous more or less long
trips into the country during the day,
and as each returns a hurried confer-
ene is held. The chauffers have been
ordered to refuse to disclose where
these trips led them, and the officers
are silent.
Late this evening one returning par
ty brought a large basket containing,
among other things, a coffee pot and
some wearing apparel. The entire bun
dle was carried to a hotel room and
several detectives called in for con
ference.
Robert Vaughan, the youngest of the
trio now in jail, was interviewed this
afternoon and denied any connection
with the robbery, although he says the
entire party was on the train. He
claims to live in New Orleans, and says
that he was on his way home when ar
rested. Poll and Gannon, although not
seen by newspaper men, claim, it is said
on good authority, that they are employ
ed at one of the industries around
Bessemer, Ala., near Birmingham, and
that they are acquainted with Vaughan
One of them, it is stated, on the same
authority, claims to have boarded at
the same place as Vaughan, and that
the party had expressed their baggage
through to New Orleans.
The men claim that they were on top
of the cars when the hold-up occurred,
and say that they were afraid to move
for fear of being shot, and say that they
did not even rise up and look. Vaughan
says he was on top of the express car
when the safe was dynamited and that
when the hole was blown through the
roof part of the debris flew up near
him; He says he then crawled back
on the baggage car, where the other
two men say they were at the time.
The stories of the three men are very
similar, each and all of them claiming
to have remained on top of the ex
press car until the runaway engine
stopped at Englewood, when the steam
was exhausted.
Each of the men deny knowing when
the runaway train was stopped for the
robbers to get off, although they were
all on top of the baggage car during
the wild ride, claiming that they were
asleep when the cars were pulled back
to Tuscaloosa after being recovered,
waking up at a crossing near this city.
They admit that the trail the dogs took
down at Phifer was made by them,
and Vaughan admits that the hat found
is his and that he bought it at Hull’s.
The negro fireman who got a good
glimpse of the robbers early today said
that the mfen under arrest bore strong
resemblance to the robbers. Later, while
being interviewed by the Advertiser cor
respondent, the negro was called to one
side by a company detective and in
structed not to talk. He then became
doubtful as to his identification. Ex
press Messenger Kelly declined to state
whether the men are the robbers, but
it is not known what he told the offi
cers.
POLICE TRY TO DRAW

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 29.—The

bring the disease back as fast as local
treatments could relieve it
C. E. Gauss, who experimented foi'
years on a treatment for Catarrh, found
that after perfecting a balm that relieved
the nose and throat troubles quickly, he
could not prevent the trouble
beginning all over again.
On test cases, he could
completely remove all signs
of Catarrh from nose and
throat, but in a few weeks
they were back.
The Elixir,
taken into the
stomach, has a
direct influence
upon the mu
cous membranes
of the body and
cures the dis
ease by remov
ing the cause.
Careful experiments and investigations have shown
that as the troubles were expelled from the nose and
throat, the real cause of the disease was overlooked
and in a short time the Catarrh would return stronger
than ever. Mr. Gauss has gone way ahead of the
ordinary methods of treatment and has-provided a
remedy that

admitted to be the logical, sure, scientific method.
Reese Jones, of Scranton, Penn., says that after trying
many other treatments, he used this new method and—“My
nose is now entirely clear and free and I am not bothered by
the disease any more. The New Combined Treatment is
worth its weight in gold.”
Temporary relief from catarrh may be obtained in other
ways, but the New Combined Treatment must inevitably be
accepted for permanent results.
Sarah J. Cape, Mount Pella, Tenn., says, “I • •
suffered the pains and distress of catarrh for
thirteen years and needless to state, tried nearly
every method. But by your new method I was
completely cured and you cannot imagine the joy
that has come over me.”
