Panhandling. Both of hln legs are am
putated below the lenten' and an a
Jesuit panhandling was a profitable vo
cation.
But panhandling doesn't go In At
lanta. South was observed by Secre
tary J. <\ Logan, of tho Associated
charities, and a conference was held in
tin* office of that organisation. Secre
tary Logan secured a doctor for tho
unfortunate man and prepared to get
him off the streets and In a position
where he would not have tp beg.
It was during this conference that
South told how' he had tried to end his
existence In a novel manner.
He took a Job In a powder mill at
thu most dangerous sort of work and
fot careless. He did so In the hope
that ho would get blown up. He even
learned to smoke a pipe, but they
wouldn’t let him smoke while at work.
J worked there," he said with a
dejected air to Secretary Logan, "un
til 1 lost nil hope of the mill ever blow
ing up, so 1 quit my job. When I’m
out on the street my mind Is easy, but
If, I work at bookkeeping, for which I
afn*. jilted, everything gets hazy, and
my mlrid r doesn't act t ight."
That's the reason he was sent to a
physician. Efforts will be made to
get him in better health and a plan
for the future will l>e worked out for
him.

leased upon a writ of habeas corpus.
W. If. Young, a man said to be badly
wanted nl Rome. On., was stopped at
the door by policemen. Young’s wife
was clinging to one arm and a little
son not over 12 years of age had a
death grip on his coat. Bherifl D. o.
Byers, of Floyd county. Georgia, and
another Georgia officer were directly
behind the man. Young protested and
appealed to his attorney, who Invoked
the court to prevent the placing of
Young In Jeopardy again upon a charge,
which the court had just decided did
not appear strong enough to convict.
Young wan marched off to the city Jail
to await further developments.
Voting came here about one year ago.
It Is uharged that he victimized many

What Is the name of the hero of Owen
Wiater's anccessful novel, "The Virginian?'
That Is a question which la asked by every
one of the million people who have read
the book and by the millions of othera who
seem likely to do no. The late Klrke I .a
Shelle, who. with Mr. Wlster, prepared the
stage version of the story, does not attempt
to answer In the piny. The principal char
acter In both book and play Is known ns
"The Virgfnlan;" that. Is all. The malu
point Is that the. interest Is kept up from
rise to fall of curtain and that every char
acter Is as clearly drawn In the drsnis ns

the Grand Friday and Hatnrday for three
performances.
