FORGED TO EJECT
■< HE SAYS
Purchaser of Property Where
Mrs. Yancey Lived Denies
Responsibility for Ouster.
J. H Ewing, of the Edwin P. Ans
ley Realty Company, issued a state
ment today in regard to the disposses
sion of Mrs. Mary Yancey from her
home at 287 Decatur street, in which
he said that he wa.- forced by the
courts to take the property.
Mrs. Yancey was evicted yesterday
and created quite a scene b> refusing
to leate the premises.
Mr. Ewing said:
' Some months since a commission
."was appointed by the court to sell < er- 1
I.i n property belonging to Mary J. I
Ynnee- . Other gentlemen and myself I
became the purchasers of one of these
several properties, but when I went
down to notify th< negro tenant who
occupied the house that T was the own.
< r and thereafter the rents were pay
able to me. 1 was notified by the negro
that her husband had a five-year lease
on the place, and that Mrs. Yancey had
been paid the rents in advance for the
full term; whereupon f demanded on
the commissioners that they put me
and my associates in possession of the
property.
"The commissioners, therefore, asked
and obtained an order from Judge
George L. Bell of the superior court
directing the sheriff to put us in pos
session.
Neither 1 nor any of my associates
were responsible for Mrs. Yancey’s liv
ing in the house with these negroes
nor for her dispossession.
■ No doubt, you will recall that it was
Mrs Yancey who recently remained tn
a house on Edgewood avenue until it
wa- torn from over her head, and that
it was also she who has figured in quite
a few other law' suits with which the
public is already familiar.
"We emploced attorneys to keep from
being forced to take the property re
ferred to in your article, and when we
wire advised that we could bo com
pelled to take it, there was no other
,<_ourse for us to pursue except to take
possession of the property for which
our money had been paid.”

PROHIBITION ID
0E ISSUE ON
MACON, GA.. May 22.—T0 a specific
and official inquiry directed to them
by the Georgia Anti-Saloon League re
cently, the prospective candidates for
the legislature in Bibb county have re
plied that they do not favor the pres
ent state-wide prohibition law on the
statute books of Georgia.
The replies of the candidates were
mailed to the league’s headquarters in
Atlanta today.
The Bibb county aspirants for legis
lative honors understand that the in
quiry directed to them was merely the
first of a series of inquiries to be di
rected to other candidates for the legis
lature throughout the state, the entire
scope of the Inquiry to cover approxi
mately the whole state, from pne end
to the other.
The Bibb count} candidates infer
from the inquiry’ directed to them that
the Georgia Anti-Saloon League is get
ting ready to precipitate the prohibition
question upon the state in the forth
coming campaign, particularly with re
spect to the legislative candidates.

in contact with a large number of so

of- those people who used the Quaker
remedies were wonderfully benefited.
So on this recommendation Mr. Castele
procured a small treatment. Anna was
in a very deplorable condition. The
skin was off her hands up to her el
bows. Across her forehead and breast
was raw. The bowels were pouring off
very much of the time. She was in a
very weak, rundown condition. The fa

getting along just splendid. The skin
has all grown back on her face and
hands, the bowels are acting about nor

When asked whether he intended to

is a blood disease, he can see no reason
■w hy Quaker Extract will not cure pel
lagra. Every disease it is claimed to
cure outside of expelling worms is of
the blood. Catarrh, indigestion, kidney,
stomach, liver, bladder troubles, rheu
matism have all got to be cured by a
systemic treatment, and that is why
Quaker remedies have made such a
wonderful record in Atlanta.
Now. the Health Teacher doesn't
claim one bottle of Extract to cure
anybody. It's a child’s treatment. Three
bottles are considered the small treat

treatment, and that is the shortest
space of time you can make any dispo

ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS
This Is To Announce What Is Undoubtedly Atlanta's Most
Notable Display of Linen Dresses
One Style After Another, All From Master=Makers, and
All Priced at Less Than Their Actual Value
Never such a showing of linen dresses in At
lanta— never so many styles, never such styles—
never such remarkably low prices.
Let no plans that you might have made for
tomorrow keep you away from this event—there
are too many attractive things here to command
your interest—styles so new that you will want to
acquaint yourself with them, prices so - evidently
low that buying will be your first impulse.
Beginning at $5.75 and going to $37.50 there
is one model after another that commends itself
to every purpose and occasion that linen dresses
know-the plainly tailored dresses in the dark shades
for street wear and the light blues, pinks and whites
more elaborately trimmed and fashioned for after
noon parties and the like.
It is a showing to which every woman may
come with the assurance that she will find
something to her own particular liking.
Here are some of the details—but they can
not possibly show the many little tricks of trim
ming and fashioning that your eyes may see
tomorrow.
At 5E.75- -In soft, medium, dark blue, light blue,
grey, natural and white—linen of smooth
finish, fastened down the front with hemstitched
fold, half length sleeve; the rolled back cuffs and
the collar are lace trimmed. No question about it
being worth $7.50.
At $1 (YOO- -In white, lavender and navy linen,
A “surplice fashioned, fastening at front with
large pearl button; the skirt is plain with plaited
peplum at back. The broad flat collar and the
cuffs are of ratine.
Atsl 'J.so—Natural, medium-dark blue and
white heavy linen now in great vogue.
Daintily embroidered collar and cuffs —Gibson
tucks over shoulders, pearl button trimmed, square
peplum back and front. Its narrow white kid
belt is a distinguishing touch.
At $ 1 Ej.OO—ln white, grey, rose, pink, blue
A and natural linen of soft texture, with
barred braid bands down front and a row of
crystal bullet buttons; cut embroidery on collar
and cuffs.
Other models at $17.50 to $37.50 show many
of the new ideas—eyelet and hand embroidery,
ratine borders and bands in two-toned combina
tions, with heavy laces on the collars, sleeves and
at the belt, crystal buttons and varied and attract
ive modifications of the peplum.
See the Voile Dresses=~ss,7s to $15.00
The summer frocks par excellence —white voile line striped
Mith na\}. light blue and black—fashioned in most becoming
styles—styles that argue much toward summer comfort.
1 he many different styles that you will find here are justified
by the growing popularity of voile dresses this season.
