LOCKED IN ROOM TO STARVE
Georgia Girl Figures in a Sen
sation in Paris.
. United States Consul General
Gowdy, located at Paris, recently re
ceived a letter from’an American girl
saying she was locked up in a provin
cial jail without a charge being made
‘against her, The counsul secured her
release, and she returned to Paris.
Then he cabled to her parents at De
catur, Ga., requesting funds for her
return to America.
The girl related a sensational story.
She claimed to have been abducted by
an American, who was seeking to mar
ry her, and had accompanied her on
an automobile tour, was locked in a
room in a country hotel, escaped and
attempted to walk across the country,
but was arrested as a wanderer by the
French authorities.
Tnquiries by Gowdy’s representa
tives established the correctness of
her detention in a country ijail, but the
history of her abduction is not verified
except by her statement Which has
been reduced to aftidavit before the
consul.
Pending the arrival of funds the girl
is taken care of by the American
Young Men's Christian Association.

HARD STRUGGLE FORCONTROL OF CONGRESS
i _Irl;:;' £
Closer Attention Will Be Paidto Southern States, A Larger Number
of Contested Cases Expected in Districts Heretofore Regarded
Democratic. Hearst Has Kept Party Wheels Greased.
A Washington dispatch to the Sa
vannah News says the republicans and
democrats are counting on an exciting
struggle for control of the next house
of representatives. Bouh congressional
committees are busy with their plans
for the coming campaign.
Chairman Bahcock proposes to give
closer attention to the southern states
than heretofore, and candidates are to
be put forward in every district in
which there is a fair chance for a re
publican contest. Under those condi
tions it is expected that a large num
ber of contested cases will blossom out
in districts which have previously been
regarded as safely democratic.
Chairman Cowherd is having his
first experience as manager of the
democratic committee, and he realizes
that he has his hands full to outpoint
the veteran Babcock, who is serving
his fifth term at the head of the repub
can committee.
REPUBLICANS HAVE PLENTY MONEY.
The republican organization makes
liberal provision for expenses of the
Babcock committee, while democrats
seem to think that the work of their
congressional committee can be per
formed withoutthe aid of funds. Rep
resentative Jim Griggs might have
BACK PAY FOR SOLDIERS.
Those Who Enlisted for Spanish
Frolic to Get More Money.
Judge C. G. Janes.of Cedartown was
in conference with Gov. Terrell for
several hours Friday with regard to
the back pay due the soldiers from
Geérgia who served in the Spainish
war. Judge Janes has been appoint
ed by the governor to file the claim
for the Georgians. Each name and
the amount due each soldier must first
be secured. This money is due from
the time at which each soldier report
ed at headquarters up to the time of
his actual enlistment, which amounts
to anywhere from a few days to two
weeks or more. Judge Janes estimates |
that the total will be about $25,000.
Georgia has until July 1, 1906, to fllel
this claim.

chairman if he had been provided with
sufficient means to defray the ordinary
‘expenses of a congressional campaign.
Itissaid that the Griggs committee
!would have been obliged to go out of

'for the generous contribution to the

GETTING HEADQUARTERS READY.
: Both committees intend to establish
‘headquarters in Washington for the
idist.ribut,ion of campaign literature.
Chairman”™Cowherd has already desig
{nated Senator Carmack to serye as
chairman of the sub-committee on
campaign literature. Senator Carmack
is expected in Washington in a few
days, and theumaterial manufactured
during the recent debates in congress
will soon be burdening the mails under
a congressional frank. The republi
cans are making similar preparatioas,
iand by this liberal use of the franking
privilege the postoffice officia’s have to
‘work harder, but the postal revenues
are not materially increased.

«“Democratic Leaders in That

WERE MARRIED UP A TREE
While an Angry Bull Bellowed a
Wedding March.
The most unigue marriage of the
season was celebrated near Susque
hanna, ?a., the other evening. Chbhae.
Bangs, his sweetheart, Miss Swanger,
and Rey. Mr. Hunter were returning
from a wedding across the meadow of
a neighbor. When balf way across
they were attacked by a big Texas
bull. The young woman proved her
agility by climbiug a tree. Bangs and
the preacher were not slow to follow
suit. The trees were ciose together,
so that conversation was easy. After
waiting half an hour for the bull to go
away, which he showed not the slight
est inclination to do, the preacher
suggested that it might be a long time
before the epportunity for so novel a
marriage again presented itself. Bangs
said he was willing. So was the girl.
While the bull bellowed a wedding
march, therefore, the preacher up the
tree asked the man and the maid, sim
ilarly up a tree, if they would take
each other under the regular agree
ment. Their replies being satisfacto
ry he pronounced them man and wife.
After waiting half an hour more the
‘owner of the byll came and drove him
away, and the wedding party descend
ed and went hom2 happy.

BADLY PRESSED FOR FUNDS
MONEY IS NOT FORTHCOMING FOR THE
GEORGIA BUILDING.
Those in Charge of the State’s Interests
at St. Louis Nearly at the Peoint of
an Embarrassing Position.
Unless those who haye subsecribed to
the fund for the Georgia building at
St. Louis makes prompt payment the
state commissioners appointed to see o
thav work through will ind themselves
in somewhat of an embarrassing po
sition.
Of about $15,500 subscribed to this
fund there bhas been paid up to date
only $7,451.62, which includes the $2,-
000 worth of lumber donated by the
Georgia lumber merchants. There is
a balance due of $8,054 on the fund sub
scribed, and it is said the Georgia
commissioners are very much in need
of it 1n view of the fact that the build
ing is being pushed to completion now
as rapidly as it is possible to get it in
shape. It is fully expected to haye the
building completed by June 1.
It is stated that the funds which
bave been collected to date are about
exhausted in making payment for the
work already done. The Georgia com
missioners have the promise of other
payments this month and they will
undoubtedly have to have the money
to pay the contractors when the build
ing is accepted. The building itself
will cost more than $ll,OOO and after
that is paid the commissioners will
still be short of the necessary amount
of funds to keep it open during the
world’s fair unless further subserip
tions are secured. Besides the cost of
the building about $l,lOO has already
been paid out for freight on the lumber.
The committee hopes to collect the
remainder of the subscription. :
