MASSEE BREAKS
WITHOLBALLY
Electric Promoter Attacks Ma
con Mayor for Holding Stock ,
in Utility Corporations.
MACON, GA.. May 23.—A local po
litical bombshell was the declaration
by W. Jordan Massee that Mayor John
T. Moore is now the largeet Macon
stockholder in the Central Georgia Pow
er Company, the Macon Railway and
Light Company and allied public utility
corporations. Mr. Massee retired from
the presidency of these corporations
two weeks ago, and is promoting a
rival plant.
Mayor Moore says that because he
discouraged the project and would not
invest in it. Mr. Massee has turned
against him. As Mr. Massee and the
mayor have been political allies for
eight years Mr. Masses's attack on Mr.
Moore may prove a serious handicap to
the latter's chances of re-election.
Mr. Massee eaid:
“I note that the mayor says Macon
can not support two street railway and
power companies. If my mind did not
work any faster than Mr. Moore’s I
would still be back In Marshallville
pulling the "bell cord’ over a mule."
Then he adds that he did not ask the
mayor to invest in his company, the
Georgia Service Corporation, "because
the mayor is the largest local stock
holder in the present corporations."
In Mr. Moore’s three races for the
mayoralty Mr. Massee was the largest
subscriber to the campaign fund,' and
practically the director of the cam
paigns.
AT THE THEATER
BIG CROWDS CONTINUE
VISITING THE FORSYTH
There are so many interesting and
genuinely pleasing features on the For
syth bill that there are a great many
of the theatergoers declaring this
week's program superior to any suc
cess the theater has registered In
weeks, and perhaps they are right. At
any rate, the attendance has measured
to that standard that responds to the
big shows the Forsyth presents.
“In 1999” is creating much gossip. It
Is the funniest playlet that has been
seen in vaudeville. It is unusual. It
Is original. It deals with what is to
happen when tile women folk assume
command. The sketch is being splen
didly played by a, trio of artists; and
ha® not failed to ®nlt«t all interest and
win much laughter.
Pat Rooney and Marion Bent have
registered a good ?olid hit and add to
the drawing power of the offering, and
pretty Adele Oswold has contributed a
charming personality and a delightful
singing act. The other acts are up to
the Forsyth standard and thoroughly
pleasing.
A former Atlanta girl, Wills Holt
Wakefield, one of the very best known
vaudeville stars, will be the headline
feature for the coming week. Miss
Wakefield numbers her friends among
the hundreds here at home, and there
is a keen Interest In her appearance.
There are six other acts and every one
a feature.

Adele Oswold .actress now playing in Atlanta, who says
life and exercise in the outdoors brought her strength and gave
her beauty.
Easy to Bring Bloom to Your
Faded Cheeks. Says Adele
Oswold.
All you’ve got to do to get pretty is
to take all the outdoor exercise you can
find. Get up early, ride a horse, golf a
lot. swim a lot, w’alk a lot, eschew all
hammocks and the first thing y ou know
the bloom on your cheeks will be per
fectly gorgeous and your general all
round pulchritude will be a matter of
newspaper note.
Now, there w r as Adele Oswold, the
actress, who's playing at the Forsyth.
She says herself that she was a back
ward, sickly' child with no more beauty
than a hedge fence sports when her
parents took a doctor’s advice and
bought her a pony. She couldn't get up
courage to mount the pony so: many
weeks, though that horse was so tame
that it lay down to eat grass. Now-
Miss Oswold rides a Texas bred pony,
whose principal ambition Is to climb up
tree«.
"That first pony started nje on the
w’ay“‘to decent looks,” said Miss Oswold.
“I rode him until I got some strength
and courage and a better view of
life. Then I added swimming to the
athletic menu. At first 1 shrank from
the water with a horrible fear, but I
kept at that until I feel just as much at
home at sea now as I do upon the
land.”
It takes a while, of course, to get the
athletic habit and in spite of the fact
that she was growing beauteous Miss
Oswold admits that very often she’d
have an awful time downing her incli
nation to cut short the swim and sub
stitute the hammock. But she downed
it. She even tackled golf by w-ay of
hurrying up the cure and now she’s
known as one the best (looking) golfer.-,
who tear up the pasture land in the
vicinage of her Long Island r.oine.
"In winter I have to fall back on
dumb bells and boxing.” Miss Os
wold ruefully, “because, you know. I'm
on the road most of the -time. Bu l in
summer I'm wedded to an outdoor
training system that starts in the
morning when the sun shows ami keeps
up every minute except for rmals And
even, my meals 1 cal mostly out in th.'
fresh air.”

Women Give Up Fight
To Save Their Home
Being Taken by Law
Realizing that they had finally lost in
the battle to prevent their old home
place at 287 Decatur street from being
sold and torn away, Mrs. Mary Yancey
and Miss Annie Sullivan, her sister, who
had nervily stood guard on the prem
ises, have removed their belongings
from the street, where they had lain
since the women were dispossessed on
Saturday by the sheriff.
With tears in their eyes, the two sis
ters loaded their dust-covered furnish
ing into two wagons and left the scene,
while a force of workmen demolished
the last vestige of the old pioneer Sulli
van home. The sisters have rented
rooms in a house in Fortress avenue.
Mrs. Yancey still declares her deter
mination to institute, legal proceedings
in an effort to recover the property.
DECATUR PEOPLE WANT

and more business for Decatur will b<?
discussed. At the present time there
are about 100 children in Decatur
ready for high school work, in order
to secure sufficient high school facili
ties for these children. The people want
a school backed by- the town authori
ties. Introduction of gas would cause
small families to move to Decatur.
Ways and means will be discussed by

CHURCH EVADES
HERESY CHARGES
Presbyterians Pigeonhole the
Briggs Case at Louisville.
“Tama Jim” Squelched.
LOUISVILLE, KY„ May 23 - That
the general assembly of the Presbyte
rian church will come to a close with
out any heresy charge* being brought
to the front seems certain. The Union
seminary case, which was a sequel
of the famous Briggs ease, was quick
ly disposed of by granting another
year’s time in which to endeavor to es
tablish amicable relation.- between the
assembly and the seminarv.
Charges of unorthodox teachings in
the graded lessons, and that some of
the members of the board of publica
’ lion and Sabbath school work were not
I orthodox, caused a flurry, but it was
I quickly settled, after a vehement de
| nial of the charge had been made. by
a ruling of Moderator Mark Matthews
that such insinuations w ill not be per
mitted before the assembly in the fu
ture.
The assembly then authorized the
appointment of a committee w ith pow -
er to withdraw from circulation ant
graded lessons found objectionable.
Farmer Jim Wilson "Revoked."
The most drastic ‘action the assem
bly ha< taken was the adoption of the
- resolution which reconsidered the elec
i tion of Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson as a delegate to the Pan-Pres
I bytetian council in Aberdeen. Scot-,
j land, in 1913 because he acted as chalr-
I man of the Brewers' congress in <'hl
i < ago last year "in the fact of a mighty
, protest from the religious farces of out
I land." This action of the li-semb!y
i bars Wilson and makes it necessary sot
I the synod of Baltimore to name another
I in his place.
COLE MOTOR CAR CO.
ADVERTISING EXPERT
IS HERE ON BUSINESS
H. C. Bradfield/, of the advertising
force of the Cole Motor Car Company,
is in Atlanta on business for his con
cern, and while here is co-operating
with the local branch in getting the
1912 ears thoroughly distributed.
Mr. Bradfield is a former newspaper
num and was In the Hearst service in
Boston and New York. He was also
connected with the Associated Press
before joining the Cole forces. Recent
ly ho has been making a trip over the
South pointing out to automobile deal
ers the importance of newspaper ad
vertising from the standpoint of getting
good, consistent results. Notwith
standing the fact that Mr. Bradfield is
eutployed by the Cole Motor Company
of Indianapolis, his general boosting
proclivities for the automobile business
jure recognized from coast to coast.
Business Conditions Good.
in speaking of the existing conditions
in the South in the automobile line. Mr.
Bradfield pointed out that business is
better lure than anywhere else.
"I hav< been surprised." he continued,
"to find that the-iiewspaperadvert ising
campaigns he~< have not been as
strong as they should be. I believe it,
strong campaigns and 1 think the
Southern automobile dealer does too
much advertising from purely a pub
licity standpoint. By this 1 mean that
he advertises to get the name of bis
I firm and ear before the public. His dis
play advertising does not, as a general
rule, carry human interest. It does
not contain enough argum nts —the ar
guments which bring people into the
salesrooms. 1 realize that the news
paper will not actually take an order
for a ear. But after the newspaper has
.lone its work with the right kind of
cop'., it is much easier for the sales
organization. The man who comes
into the store interested by 1 lie news
paper advertis.ng arguments he lias
read is much easier to sell, providing
salesmen have confidence in their
product and the values they are offer
ing are honest.”
