CANDY TRAD EON
BOOM AS RESULT
OF DRY NATION
ATLANTA, July 17—Atlanta can
dy stores are selling in greater vol
ume than ever before, and Atlanta
candy manufacturers are laying their
plans for a 100 per cent increase of
business next year, all on account of
bone dry prohibition. Georgia has
bone dry prohibition. Georgia has
been a dry state for a long time but
with other parts of the country wet
up to the first of the month liquor
drinkers managed to get their share.
It is now a well known fact that a
liquor drinker when deprived of his
■“dram” will turn to candy and other
sweets as the next best substitute
for alcohol. Likuor is getting to be
one of the scarcest articles known in
the state of Georgia. A pint of per
. fectly rotten blind tiger stuff that is
mainly potash costs $5.50 at prevail
ing prices. Those who use it, driven
by their thirst to pay exorbitant
prices declare it is disastrous to the

S UN-ripened—mellow Virginia
tobacco has a lively, appetizing
taste that other tobaccos do
not have.
But, mark this—Virginia tobacco
tastes best when smoked straight.
Mixing Virginia with other leaf takes
away some of that fine fullness of

In direct ratio as the consumption
of liquor decreases, candy and other
confections increases in consump
tion. It is reliably reported that one
Atlanta candy manufacturer made a
net profit last year of $350,000. His
entire plant could probably be re
placed for $500,000. Another con
cern is reported to have cleaned up
$210,000 in a plant of about the
same value. But even these enormous
profitable results are going to grow
in future, it is predicted, as the grad
ual disappearance of liquor other
alcoholic stimulants produces a grow
ing consumption of candy and sweets.

CHAPTER XXII
I CLENCHED my hands, I com
menced to sob. I wouldn’t be a good
wife, and I wouldn’t have children;
he had no right to love that other
woman, that Leola, when I was his
wife. In my distress I forgot that he
would be angry if he found me in
tears. And gave full vent to my feel
ings. He was in the room before I
had heard him.
“What are you crying about?” he
asked. “Does your head still ache?”
The idea that after he had talked
«to me as he had just a little while
before he could ask me what I was
crying about. I just didn’t answer
at all; I only cried the harder.
“You will make yourself ill,” his
voice was not quite so kind.
“What made you marry me when
you didn’t love me? You don’t love
me now!” I stormed. I wanted to say
AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER.
i “when you love that other woman”
but didn’t dare.
“I certainly shall not love you if
| you do not stop crying,” his voice
i stern with displeasure. “I thought I
j told you I disliked a crybaby.”
As I tried to control myself • I
| wondered if Leola never had cried.
If she had always laughed and- that
was the reason he loved her So.
Suddenly there came to me once
again my foolish bragging speech to
Rose Grandon: “He is crazy to mar
i ry me.”
H e might have been. Surely all
| his gifts and attentions looked that
way. But now I knew why he want
i ed to marry me. Then I thought that
I was because he loved me. Now 1
I knew it wasn’t. A good wife and
! children, how I wished he hadn’t
said that, that he had pretended he
married me for love. She, Leola,
1 was dead. It wouldn’t have hurt him
and I wouldn't have been quite so
miserable even after I knew of her,
if he had let me go on thinking he
had loved me.
I stopped sobbing. Then to my
surprise Everett leaned over the bed
and kissed me softly.
“Be a good little girl and go to
sleep. You’ll spoil your looks unless
you do.”
Before I could say a word, he had
left.the room and closed the door.
H e had not answered my questions,
neither had he contradicted me when
I had declared he didn’t love me.
But someway his' kiss, his sudden
gentle, speech comforted me, and ut
terly worn out I soon slept.
Once more he had gone to the of
fice without kissing me good bye. t
realized when Hetty brought my cof
fee, and told me that Mr. Graham
said I was not to be disturbed.
“You are worrying ma’am. I feel
very sorry I told you anything.”
“You needn’t feel sorry Hetty. Mr.
Graham told me all about it, and it
wasn’t half as bad as I imagined. I
didn’t know she was dead.”
“You thought—” she hung her
words in air, horror in her tones.
“I thought she had divorced him
or something; that maybe he was a
bigamist! I don’t know what I
’ thought. I only know that we must
not talk about it because I gave him
my promise not to. But I felt so
1 lonely, so alone and forlorn that
on one pretext and another I kept
1 Hetty with me until Mrs. Gray called
1 her. She was young, if she was a ser
-1 vant, and a dainty, pretty girl, also.
About eleven o’clock the telephone
rang. It was Everett.
“Meet me at Lipmans—a large
■ fashionable shop—at three o’clock. I
saw a coat in the window I admired,
and if it is becoming I want it for
you.” He did not wait for an an
swer, but immediately hung up.
How arbitrary he was. He had not
asked me if I had any plans, or if I
i could meet him. He had simply or-
■ dered me to be there. I didn’t care
I if it were to be something nice for
! me. I would insist that he stop treat
ing me like a child. I surely felt old
enough these last few days—“Methu-
' saleh had nothing on me,” I thought
’ as I sighed heavily, so heavily that
Mrs. Gray who had just come up
I stairs a-sktd if I was sure I felt able
’ to get up.
i I assured her that I was all right,
and repeated Everett’s message to
he/.
( “Your husband is very generous,
j Not many girls marry men who are
j so free with their money.”
! “ftjoney isn’t everything,” I said
: sententiously. I had heard dad say
that.
“It is a good deal, my dear. Not
that I think it is everything, but
i ther e are few things in life that a
] competence, the ability to gratify
ones desires does not help. At least
having pretty clothes and a beautiful
’ home helps to take your mnid from
i other things which may not be so
I pleasant. Mr. Graham’s taste is
exquisite. I am sur e the cot will be
a lovely one. Rest a little longer so
that you may look fresh and rested
when you meet him.”
“Why should I care how I look
when he doesn’t love me,” I grum
bled after she left me. but I never
theless did as she had suggested and
I remained in bed until nearly time
for lunch.
I did .look rested. Better than I had
looked for days. And when she told
me so sh e added: “Mr. Graham will
be pleased.”
