Dr. Frank Schneider, Jr., of the

The theory of undetected leaks of
illuminating gas as a source of in

separation between the fire-box and
the hot-air ducts (on which the hy

pends) was badly broken, and as a
result the inhabitants of the house
were bathed in an atmosphere of di

TURN Kit-HOLLIS WEDDING
Was Brilliant Affair of the Week at

This week's issue 01 the Camilla
Enterprise contains an interesting
account of the marriage of ( Miss
Marie Turner, of that city, to Mr.
Frederick Hollis, of Dothan, Ala.
The bride has a number of friends
in Thomasville, having been a grad
uate of Young’s College, which she
attended for several years.
In part, the account was as fol
lows:
"The marriage of Miss Marie
Turner and Mr. Frederick Hollis,
of Dothan, Ala., was solemnized
Wednesday night at S:30 o’clock, at
the First Presbyterian church. The
affair was a, brilliant church cere
monial, witnessed by a very large
concourse of friends and relatives.
"The decorations of the church
were an elaborate and beautiful ar
rangement of smilax and pink roses.
"Miss Hattie Heath was maid of
honor, Mr. Ben Hollis, of Amerlcus,
best man, and the other attendants
were Miss Carolyn Norris, of New-
nan: Miss Milmed Hollis, of Ameri

HORNED SNAKE HAS DIED ATLANTA YOUTHS
Atlanta, June L’ 1.—The horn-tail
ed hoop-snake, recently captured on
Marietta road by a Cobb county far
mer and brought to the state capitol
alive, has died, and consequently
legislators will not have the oppor
tunity of seeing the used won
der, but the remains .- e already
been pickled in alcohol and will
occupy a permanent place on the
shelf in the state capitol museum.
This Is the cnly snake of the kind
ever captured in Georgia. It has a
horn like that of a cow on the end
of its tail, and popular tradition is
that in pursing its enemy it takes
this horn in its mouth and rolls
along like a hoop.
WOMEN WORKING FOR
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
FOR WAYWARD GIRLS.
Movement Has Spread Until It Is
(Now State-Wide in Scope,
It has been said that the love of
human beings for each other is not
a dream of religion; it Is a law of
nature. It is bred of human con
tact, of human relation, of human
service; it rests on identical inter
acts and the demands of a social
development which must include all
.if it permanently lirts any.
And thus our Federation has em
braced a work which, if left un
done, will most assuredly leave in
complete the beautiful structure it
is building.
A bill is to be introduced In the
coming legislature providing for a
state industrial school for wayward
girls.
Movement is Spreading.
The movement In behalf of this
measure, started by the Association
of College Women, has spread, as
the people of Georgia have come to
realize the intense need of legisla
tion on this subject, until It is now
statewide.
The citizens of one county after
another have taken up the matter
and brought it before their legisla
tors. Every week brings news of:
members of tbfe legislature who are ♦
pledging themselves to support tne
bill. Georgia stands practically
alone among the states in having
done absolutely nothing to solve the
problem of her warward girls.
Statistics of 1910 showed that
thirty-four states had Industrial
training schools already established,
and that, with few exceptions, the
•other states were agitating the
question of some solution of the
problem. Only last year, Alabama’s
legislature voted an appropriation
for a girls’ reform school, and so
thoroughly did they realize the need
that the measure passed with but
one dissenting vote. Why has
Georgia done nothing?

Atlanta, June 21.—To knock
man down in one county and kill
him in another was the apparently
impossible thing that happened on
the Seaboard Air Line Railway,
when it struck a citizen of Winder.
The man was on the Seaboard
rack In the town of Winder when
the engine struck him. It hit him
in Gwinnett county and knocked
him across the street into Walton
county, where he died.
The conditions naturally compli
cates things for both sides when the
case came up for adjustment. The
same kind of complications, some
times triply complicated, are coming
up every day. Cases appealed from
the mayor's court to the higher
courts, have often been thrown out
on the ground that it was not speci
fied in the trial which of the three
ao counties the offense was committed
in.
These unreasonable burdens the
people of Winder want to do away
with by the creation of a new coun

Fake Economy.
Aside from the social obligation
unfulfilled, such a policy is plainly
a matter of false economy. Sta

of wayward girls who are sent to
industrial schools "make good.”
For lack of a little money spent in
such preventive measures, Georgia
allows a hunred girls to go to ruin,
to become when grown in crime, a
hundred continuous drains on the
community, where a little investment
made in time would bring a contin

gain.
