La Plata, Md., July 11.—The tragic
drama of a’daughter abandoned at the
altar*and swiftly avenged by her
mother and brother, who shot down
and killed the faint-hearted suitor, was
unrolled In the little county court house
here today before a Jury called upon to
decide whether or not the "unwritten
law M justified mother and son taking
the law Into their own hands.
The family drama Involved Mrs. Mol-
lle Bowie, Mias Priscilla Bowie, the
daughter, a baby In her arms as she
walked Into the court room, and the
son and brother, Henry, stern and
close-lipped. The baby In the glrl’i
arms was the Innocent cause of the
terrible tragedy. Hubert Posey, the
girl’s suitor. Is declared to be Its father.
The lawyers for the mother and son
made no pretense at subterfuge. They
declared unequivocally, after the Jury
n quickly chosen, that they rest
ed unqualifiedly on the "unwritten
law." First the mother was to go on
he stand. Then the son was to follow,
nd lastly the girl herself, babe In arms,
ras to tell all the sad details of the

LETTERS COMMENDING
THE GEORGIAN’S STAND
STRONG LETTER
FROM STRONG MAN.
Mr. F. L. Seely, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: I wish to thank you very
sincerely for the stand you have taken
on the great question of the hour In
Georgia—the prohibition Issue,
cltltsn, teacher, and father of a family.
In which there are three boys, In whose
future I am deeply concerned, you have
Iny gratitude for the brave and patriot-
lo stand you have taken. Seldom does
an opportunity come to an Individual
or a groat newspaper even, to rise to
the occasion of being truly groat, hut
once or twice In a life time. Your op
portunity cams and you rose to it like
a true man. May such nobility of pur-
pose reap Its own reward! U It Is any
encouragement to you In your gigantic
and unselfish work for humanity to
know that the pure womanhood of the
state and her truest citizenship—that
part which can rise above the greed
and tho avarice of the hour—Is all with
you, then keep up your fight. Your
cause will win, and “unborn genera
tions" will rise up and call you blessed.
With profound respect and gratitude,
Yours truly,
GEO, HOLMAN GARDNER.

Dear Sir:—I am paator of the Meth

whisky city of the smaller cities of
Georgia, and I write to commend you
for the uncompromising stand you have
taken for state prohibition. Many of
our best people applaud you and are

you are contending.

gian, Atlanta, Ga:
Dear Sir and Brother:—My heart
leaped with Joy when I read your Sat
urday's Issue. The good and law-abid
ing citizens of Georgia very much ap
preciate the stand that you aro taking
on the prohibition question. It Is true
that you will not share In the money
bags of the saloon people, hut a good
conscience Is worth more than all the
the common cause of mankind. I note
you express yourself on a basis
right and consider the great cause
a whole and not locally. Tho whole
greater than any of Ita porta.
I wish to say you have done what
believe a good majority of the very
best citizens of Georgia do concur In—
namely, declared for prohibition. Let
this brief expression encourage you for
there are thousands with you that will
not express themselves to you. I ex
pect to see your views triumph
very soon. Yours very truly.

8PEAK3 FROM EXPERIENCE.
F. L. Seely, Publisher of The Atlanta
Georgian:
Dear Sir:—Your announcement In
the Saturday Issue on the subject of
state prohibition makes The Georgian
tho greatest dally In the state. I con
grutulate you on your splendid man
hood. Your say: "Fsw. If any, who
read this know how serious a matter
It Is to us." I do, because, as publish
er of The Middle Georgia Argue, I ted
the fight In this (Butta) county for
local prohibition, and well do I remem
ber the long und bitter fight made
upon us.
1 fear you have a long and bitter
fight before you, but hope every true
putrlot In Georgia will rally to your
support: and every patriot In the stnto
should line up with Dr. Solomon. He
Is doing a grand and noble work,
sympathize with Dr. Solomon very
much, because I know what a hard
fight Is before him.
In the first contest In this county
the antis beat us 400 or 500 votes; next
time, 180, and next time, 13 votes. The
fourth and last round wo beat them by
a handsome majority.
I am afraid Dr. Solomon Is to be
disappointed In this legislature
cal wire-working may upset
plans; but we will hope and trust our
legislators until they disappoint us.
Mr. Seely, I have often thought of
how Atlanta has discarded the work
of the matchless Grady, and felt that
they ought to pull down his monument
and hide It In the cellar until Atlanta
ugaln hoists the whits banner of pro
hlbltlon. When the wires were telling
us of the bloody rioting In Atlanta, my
mind continually reverted to the time
when The Constitution was one side
white and the other red. The red side
was for whisky and the white for pro-
hlbltlon. And of the snow-white bal
lots and the blood-red ballots, and the
thousands of red badges worn by tho
negroes. I thought “as you have sown
In blood, so you reap In blood."
Oh, how Atlanta and Macon are de
bauching the dry counties. The Jug
train*Is a dally visitor, and the livery
stables, blacksmith shops and like
places aro often visited by out young
men, who think their drinking a pro
found secret, while their friends are
lamenting the discoloring of the cheeks
und eyes, and tho bloating fuce that
tells the fear fill truth ull tn u plainly.
Local option was a compromise with
other si.in of the the liquor business, as It meant that

who stands for law and order and for

among the Juvenile offenders. The par

Following the dismissal of the cases,
both Judge Broyles and Officer Oloer
made encouraging talks to the boys,
advising them to continue In the right
path. After the adjournment of court
several of th# mothers present came
forward and shook hands with the re

them for their efforts In behalf of the

'The failure of the Exchange Bank Is
one of the worst blows Macon has re
ceived In years,” said Ben L. Jones, the
well-known Macon capitalist, In Allan
ta Wednesday.
'It will be more far-reaching In Ite
effect than was ths failure of the Plant
Bank. For the monoy deposited in the
Exchange Rnnk was that used by many
business houses."
Although one of Macon’s wealthiest
citizens, Mr. Jones refused for years
> allow any of the banks to make him
director. Some time ago, however, he
allowed IJs name to be used by the Ex
change Bank and accepted a director
