ASSORTMENT BIGr OP STYLES and SIZES From*4Jto:.14 yrs., SHE MOTHER'S FRIEND ’atent Shirtwaist XK For sweet charity’s sake men and women are moved to do many things which they are not really able to do, but having dono them they feel all the bet tor for it. To those who give a kindly greeting—backed up by money to sup ply their wants—and lend a helping hand to the. needy widow and orphan The Times-Recoudeb need say nothing in the way of encouragement, for their re ward is laid up for them. But of all the cheap feelings in the world is for one to know that he, or she as the caso may be, has been duped Into helping some undeserving one. The duty is an unpleasant one at best, but a duty still, that The Times-Re- cobdeb has this morning to expose what it bellevos from the evidence at hand to be a veritable begging fraud. Heretofore those who have to do with the paper have done all in their power to help this woman—for a woman it is in this instance—believing that she de served It But evidence that can be re lied on has come to light which goes to show that such belief was misplaced. There is going abont over this portion of the state a Mrs. Rose whcSbegs from town to town and beats her way on the railroad by the pitiable tale she tells. She goes on crutches, one of her feet being cut off just above the ankle. For that she is to be pitied. She carries with her two little girls, one aged about eight and DR. GEORGE W.

Of! of that maimed log and those two little girls she makes capital Something over a week age she was InAmerious. She was cry ing and tak ing on at a terrible rate. Some gen tlemen ap proached her and to 'he m ghe told the story that she had a son who was dying in Macon to whom she wanted to go. They raised some money for her and got the conduc tor to carry her on to Macon. That same night one of those gentleiden saw her on the down train, which she had left the train which carried her to Ma con to take, bound for Albany. He talked with her and asked her why she didn't come to Americus. She told him that she had never beard of the place. That started suspicion against her. Last Thursday she came to Americus again. She told the same old tale about being crippled and having to work so hard for her two lit tle girls, interspersing the story with tears and wallings.

But she didn’t go to Lumpkin. She made her way haok to the South western depot and by telling her same story she secured passage to Albany that night. Saturday a gentleman who was famll- iar with details of her last trip to Ameri cas, met up with her in a neighboring town. Sho was begging enough to go to her relatives In Lumpkin. She was asked why she didn't go when she was here and had the pass, Thursday of last week. She denied that she bad the pass, and said she had never soen the gentleman, at whloh juncture the largest girl spoke up and corroborated the gen tleman’s side of the matter, which was in accordance with the facta given above On one of her trips here the woman said she was raised in Sumter county. That sho afterward denied. She told three different parties that her home was at three different places, Albany, Thom- aavilla and Chattanooga. She invariably told that she had lived at the place named for eighteen years. Her claim is that she sprained or wrenched her ankle and had to have her foot amputated. A gentleman who says that be knows her said her home was at Chattanooga and that her foot wan am putated as the result of some disreputa ble fight Sho claims the little girts are hers. The same gentleman says that he can swear positively they are not hers, but some she picked up to holp out her begging sebomo. > The woman claims that her love for the children Is the only thing tbst causes her to lead the life she does. The Times-Recobdkb knows of some si nice ladies as are to be foand anywhere who have offered to take the children and raise them in * life of comparative lux- uiy. The woman steadfastly refused to even consider the offer*. A party well known in Americus Is readyto swear that be saw this woman in the depot waiting room in a neighbor* Ing town, where there was no one about, counting silver and greenbacks which most nave amounted to more than $1,000.’ When aha wax through aba oon. sealed the money at diffCTent place* about her pereon, and went to crying- end begging again as soon sithe people began to congregate. A lady m the town where she was Bstnrday heard her counting what sounded Uke a large sum of sliver moneyr , , These are facts. The woman is In 'some of the neighboring towns now beg- gtng.

Frail To ronto he moved south and loodted in Atlanta, where he practiced medicine successfully for a number of years, rfe took an active part In the upbuilding of Atlanta, and his efforts were crowned with success for himself as well as for the city, for he owns some of the most valuable property in Atlanta. That city was made what she is by just suoh enterprising citizens as Dr. Marvin. When Cordele was ushered Into exist ence Dr. Marvin’s keen observation and unerring business judgment were not long in directing him to the Magic City of the Pines, and one year ago last win ter Dr. Marvin came to Cordele and commenced to help build it up as he had done Atlanta. In a few months he had erected a block of handsome cot tages In the nicest part of town, from which he has been remunerated by a profit of 10 to 50 per cent on his invest ment. Finding his investments here more profitable than money he had Invested anywhere else, he withdrew some of his money from other places and re-invested it here. I have been Informed that he has planted moro than $30,000 in Cordele since coming to the town, and moat of It has come here since money mat ters have beefi so tight every who r e, and It has done the town and county a vast amount of good. On the sec 1 ond day of April last the First Nation al Bank of Cordelo was organl zed and Dr. Mar vin wasunan- tmously el ected presi dent. No institution b»» done more to encourage and advance the town than this bank, and no Cordele enterprise has been a greater success. Ever on the alert for something to benefit the little city in which he Is taking so much pride, Dr. Marvin ianow In Atlanta doing his utmost to seoure the extension of the Atlanta «fc Florida railroad from Fort Valley to Cordele, and if he succeeds as well in this as with his other undertakings, Cordele will have another railroad.
