Roddenbery 111; No
Chahce For Recovery
Overwork Is Said to Be Cause of
Illness. Warned a Year Ago
Against Unusual Activities.
Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 21. —
Congressman S. Anderson Rodden
bery,.of the Second district of Geor
gia, is expected to live hut a few
days at the most according to re
ports from his home this afternoon.
He has been in Thomasville for
several weeks suffering with heart
trouble, and other complications
have set in which precluded his re
covery according to the statement
of attending physicians.
He had a Severn sinking spell this
afternoon and for some minutes he
was expected to die, but later ral
lied and is resting more comforta
bly.
His illness is the result cf his ex
cessively hard fought campaign
three years ago and the steady and
persistent effort he has made since
entering Congress.
Lie was warned a year ago against
any unusual activities but this came
during his most telling attempts in
congress against pensions and he
disregarded the warning in the face
of duty. Several weeks ago he was
so weak and prostrated that he was
forced to give up and return home
where he has hoped to regain his
former strength.
He has continued to struggle val
iantly against his malady, but to no
avail, all chance of his recovery be
ing practically abandoned. Doctors
say he may live for several weeks,
and then again that death may
come at any moment.
It is to be sincerely hoped that
Mr. Roddenbery will recover from
his present illness.
His death would he a distinct
loss to the country. He is an ac
tive, energetic and forceful Con
gressman, who fought hard for
those issues he thought to be right.
He battled for white supremacy
in this country and was very severe
in condemnation of those states
that allow intermarriage between
negro men and white women.
King-Alien
On last Tuesday at the home of
the brides aunt, Mrs. IL. .1. Ivey,
at Tennville, Miss Mary King and
Mr. Wyatt Meridth Allen of Allen
town were united in marriage. Rev
McMichael Pastor of the Methodist
church performed the ceremony.
Only the relatives of the bride being
present, the marriage came as quite
a surprise to their host of friends
throughout the country.
The ceremony was performed in
the parlor before an improvised
altar of palms, ferns and smilax.
Mendelshon’s Wedding March was
beautifully render'd by fdiss Willie
Ivey, cousin of the bride as the bri
dal party came from tire reception
hall into the parlor and during the
ceremony Lange’s Flower song was
played softly. Immediately after
tlie ceremony an informal reception
was held and a delicious salad cour
se with fruit nectar was served.
'l’he bride was attired in a traveling
costume of Copenhagen blue with
gloves, hat and shoes to match.
The happy couple left at eleven o’-
clock for their home in Allentown
by way of Macon. A reception was
tended them by the groom’s mother
on their arrival home.
Mrs. Allen, as Miss King, was
one of the most lovable young lad
ies of this section. She is the
youngest daughter of Mr. Ira King
of near Jeffersonville. The groom
is a young man of sterling character
and a very prominent businessman
of Allentown. —Twiggs County Cit

Harry 1i haw
Harry Thaw escaped from Mat
teawan and was captured in Cana
da. The glorious state of New
York is trumping up fake indict
ments and charges to insure his re
turn to a den of howling maniacs.
The friends of Stanford White are
busy. Much has been said of the
money used by Thaw to escape the
madhouse, but nothing has been
written in the daily press of the
money White’s friends have spent
and will spend to rivet the iron
mask of insanity upon Harry Thaw,
so that White may go down in his
tory as the victim of a mad man.
They are determined that the great
architect shall not appear in his
true colors, a lecherous viper who
ruined another man’s home and
wrecked his life. So far their gold
has been successful and Thaw is
once more in the toils. If ever a
state committed a crimson crime
against a/ in, New York is that
slate and !a v Thaw is the victim.
During the long struggle, the love
and devotion of Mrs. Mary Thaw,
Harry’s mother, have illumined the
darkness of despair, and this alone
has kept him from going stark
crazy. Greater devotion lias never
be3n told in song and story.
Strange that none of the newspa
pers have considered her feelings.
A noble women, Mary Copley
Thaw is as loyal a mother as ever
kissed the lips of a babe. In this
tight she has the sympathy of The
Iconoclast. She deserves to win. —

Bed Of 1 7 Rattlers
Joe Nobles, a boy about 15 years
old, who lives with his father, Mr.
Will Nobles, four miles north of
Cary, was bittern on the finger by a
large rattle snake Wednesday.
The boy was loading a wagon
with wood, when he placed his
hand under a price of the wood the
largest snake of the bed of 17 bit
him on the left hand. The boy
corded the arm and killed the 17
rattlers, which were from one to
five feet in length. We learn to

Years Might Roll By
Before Thaw Decision
Should He Appeal Habeas Cor
pus Now Pending, Of Late
The Court Has Been Dispos
ing of Important Cases With
More Speed Than
Formerly.
Washington, Sept. 17. —Weeks,
months or perhaps years, might
roll hy before the supreme court
would act finally, should Hairy K.
Thaw appeal from the decisions in
the habeas corpus proceedings wow
pending in New Hampshire. Of
late, however, the court has dispos
ed of such important cases quickly.
Whether an appeal to the su
preme court from the action of the
federal judge, Aldrich, before whom
the habeas corpus proceedings w r ere
brought, may be granted will rest
entirely, it is said, with Judge Aid
rich himself.
A few years ago an appeal from
the denial of the writ of habeas
orpus was granted as a matter of
i iglit, courts regarded as travesties
on justice, and the law was changed
to give the judge passing on the case
the power to say whether there was
sufficient doubt, as to the points
raised to jtstify an appeal.
The supreme court does not meet
before October 13. There are now
more than 700 cases awaiting dispo
sition, and it will take the court
more than two years to pass on
them.
Upon request of either the state
of New Hampshire or of New York,
the court might advance the case
for consideration about the first
Monday in December. In the or
dinary course of events a decision
would be handed down in the fol
lowing January.
Much doubt is expressed here as
to whether tne New York authori
ties could find a way to have the
higher courts review Judge Ald
rich’s action, should he release
Thaw from custody.

No Recognition
For Huerta
It seems that Huerta has quieted
down and about concluded to suc
cumb to the inevitable. There will
he a constitutional election for
President in Mexico, Oct. 26, and
it is not likely that Huerta will be
a candidate.
Reports that Huerta intended to
secure the election of some friend
who might subsequently appoint
Huerta to a position in the Cabinet
and resign in his favor, are causing
some uneasiness, for if the election
is constitutional the position of the
United States toward Huerta might
be embarrassing. In any event
recognition would not be accorded
Huerta.
