BETTER TO WEAR STRIPES
THAN BE DRUG FIEND
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 30.—“1 would
’ rather my son was a convict than a
drug fiend,” declared John Mauldin,
|of Mountain View, to the police here
'yesterday. He came to Atlanta to ask
j the aid of the officers in locating his
, boy, whom he says is adrift in the
j city and addicted to the use of drugs.
The father was gaunt and haggard
and sorrow was stamped on his face
when he told his story. His boy, h 3
'said, had become acquainted with evil
companions several months ago and
had gradually drifter down until he
became a slave to drugs. Orders have
been issued to all patrolmen to ar
rest the boy on sight. If captured he
will be arraigned before the city re
| corder on statuatory charges whicn
1 will permit a year's imprisonment .in
the penitentiary during which period
it is hoped by his father, the youth
may lose his craving for morphine. |
PHONE MANNERS
ARE IMPORTANT
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 30. —That tele
phone manners are a true test oi
character, and that the man who is
continually impatient and insulting
when using a telephone is likely to be
the same way in dealing with his wife
is declared by a bright and thoughtful
operator in the local exchange.
She says that years of observation
have taught her that the man who
bears the reputation of being petulant
and unreasonable at home and in bus’-
ness is usually the one who delights 'a
quarreling with the operator, while the
man who talks in a quiet, low tone,
always maintaining his politeness a!-J
most invariably is somebody who is j
looked up to and amounts to something
in the community; j
She says that the natural voice as- j
serts itself over the phone, and that
the operator can get the speaker’s true
number in more ways than one. The,
people who shriek and rave and con- j
tinually complain, she says, and lose
their self-control, simply hamper the,
efforts the operator Is making to give
them good service. All of which may
he true; or otherwise.

MONTGOMERY WOMAN
CAN’T STAND MOVIES
She Swallows Poison Because
Heroine is Abandoned
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 30. —Was it
a vivid motion picture film d picting
the heart story of an abandoned ma
tron struggling for an existence, acted
by Florence Lawrence, the interna- 1
tional “sob” actress, that caused Mrs. I
Clara Brady, 321 Bell street, to seen l
relief from her own strangely similar
troubles last night by drinking a vial
'of laudanum?
I Many of her friends think so. For!
after witnessing the big!
'feature film she drank a bottle of the
j poison, mailed her husband, who it is
■said left her four years ago, a letter
'and went to her home, where she told
her mother that she had taken the
drug. Then she, who it is said, found
l the grave preferable to life and who
1 felt that the struggle was beyond he"
physical and mental endurance, was
relieved by the drug which stole away
her senses and caused her to sink in
to unconsciousness.
Today Mrs. Brady was in charge of
physicians at St. Margaret’s hospital,
who had labored during the night to
counteract the action of the powerful
! potion which she had swallowed. The
doctors say she will probably die.
( With three small children Mrs. Bra
dy came to Montgomery about a year
ago. She has been living with her
mother and sister on Bell street. Mrs.
W. R. Shores, a sister, declares that
Brady left his wife four years ago anl
since that time she has been ill al
most continually. It is not known
where Brady is living. The note which
the woman says she wrote him is be
lieved to have been mailed soon after
she took the drug.

i
( This is the first time in a number of
j years that such a question in regarl
jto a child has arisen. Sometimes very
| voung babies are allowed to remain

rangement can be made for them and
for years a colored woman was regu- 1
larly employed to take charge of ail
young colored children whose mothers
were serving penitentiary sentences.
Bartow Cantrell and Jim Cantrell have
been sentenced to hang for the mur

given a life term.

Williams, the most noted moonshiner
in North Georgia, who has been be

a fleet-footed black mule, disappearing
among the trees. The still was de
stroyed by the officers.
