I m OLD ALLY
■ Electric Promoter Attacks Ma-1
con Mayor for Holding Stock
in Utility Corporations.
F MACON, GA., May 23.—A local po-
X litlcal bombshell was the declaration
®sl by ' v Jordan Massee that Mayor John
I T. Moore is now the largest Macon
stockholder In the Central Georgia Pow-
S'l Pr Company, the Macon Railway and
< I Light Company and allied public utility
I corporations. Mr. Massee retired from
> I the presidency of these corporations
t I two weeks ago, and is promoting a
M rival plant.
Mayor Moore says that because he
I discouraged the project, and would not
I Invest in it, Mr. Massee has turned
j I against him. As Mr. Massee and the
mayor have been political allies for
eight years Mr. Massee's attack on Mr.
may prove a serious handicap to
SL the latter’s chances of re-election.
I. Mr. Massee said:
WK "I note that the mayor says Macon
S can not support two street railway and
power companies. If my mind did not
.J work any faster than Mr. Moore's I
would still be back In Marshallville
■jS' pulling the 'bell cord' over a mule."
W Then he’ adds that he did not ask the
mayor to Invest in his company, the
Georgia Service Corporation, ‘‘because
J th' 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
i practically the director of the cam-
■ pa'gn=.

PAT THE THEATER |
BIG CROWDS CONTINUE
VISITING THE FORSYTH
There are so many interesting and
genuinely pleasing features on the For
syte 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, ami 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
k Is original. It deals with what Is to
happen when the women folk assume
■ command. The sketch is being splen-
ABmmL—gi.iyed by a trio of artists, and
has not failed to enlist all interest and
win much laughter.
<■ Fat, Rooney and Marion Bent have
■ registered a good solid hit and add to
I ' the drawing power of the ottering, and
pretty Adele Oswold has contributed a
if charming personality and a delightful
singing act. The other acts are up to
the Forsyth standard and thoroughly
pleasing.
A former Atlanta girl, Wflla 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.

Allele 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, walk a lot. eschew all
hammocks and the first thing you 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 was 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 for 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
trees.
“That first pony started me on the
way to decent looks,” said Miss Oswold.
T rods him until I got some strength
and courage and a better view of
life. Then I added swimming to the
athletic menu. At first I shrank from
the water with a horrible fear, but I
kept at that until T feel just as much at
home at sea now as 1 do upon tho
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 wav of
hurrying up the cure and now she's
known as one the best (looking> golfers
who tear up the pasture land in the
vicinage of her Long Island homo.
"In winter I have to fall back on
dumb bells and boxing.” said Miss Os
wold ruefully, "because, you know. I'm
on the road most of the time. But in
summer I'm wedded to an outdoor
training system that starts in the
morning when the sun shows and keeps
up every minute except for meals And
■ v«n mx nn als I eat mostly out in the
.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 b"lng
sold and torn away, Mrs. Mary Yancey
and Miss Annie Sullivan, her sister, who
had nervlly 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.

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 charges being brought
to the front seems certain. The Union
seminary case which was a sequel
of the famous Briggs case, was quick
ly disposed of by granting another
year’s time in which to endeavor to es
tablish amicable relations between the
assembly and the seminary.
Charges of unorthodox teachings in
the graded lessons, and that some of
the members of the board of publica
tion and Sabbath school work were not
orthodox, caused a flurry, but it was
quickly settled, after a vehement de
ntal of the. charge had been made, by
a ruling of Moderator Mark Matthews
that such insinuations will not be per
mitted before the assembly in the fu
ture.
The assembly then authorized the
appointment of a committee with pow
er to withdraw from circulation anv
graded lessons found objectionable.
Farmer Jim Wilson “Revoked.”
The most drastic action the assem
bly has taken was the adoption of the
resolution which reconsidered the elec
tion of Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson as a delegate to the Pan-Pres
byterian council In Aberdeen. Scot
land, in 1913 because he acted as chair
man of the Brewers’ congress In Chi
cago last year "in the fact of a mighty
protest front the religious forces of our
land.” This action of the assembly
bars Wilson and makes it necessary for
the synod of Baltimore to name another
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 hero Is co-operating
with the local branch In getting the
1912 cars thoroughly distributed.
Mr. Bradfield Is a former newspaper
man 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 he 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
employed by the Cole Motor Company
of Indianapolis, his general boosting
proclivities for the automobile business
are 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 here than anywhere else.
"I have been surprised,” he continued,
"to find that the newspaper advertising
campaigns here, have not been as
strong as they should be. I believe in
strong campaigns and I think the
Southern automobile dealer does too
much advertising from purely a pub
licity standpoint. By this I mean that
he advertises to get the name of his
j firm and car before the public. His dis
play advertising does not, as a general
rule, carry human interest. It does
not contain enough arguments—the ar
guments which bring people Into the.
salesrooms. I realize that the news
paper will not actually take an order
for a car. But after the newspaper has
done Its work with the right kind of
copy, it is much easier for the sales
organization. The man who comes
into the store Interested by the news
paper advertising arguments he has
read is much easier to sell, providing
salesmen have confidence in their
product and the values they are offer
ing are honest."
AUGUSTA MAKING
PROGRESS TOWARD
“CITY BEAUTIFUL”
AUGUSTA. GA.. May 23. Augusta

In this plaza will be asphalt walks,
flowers and grass, a fountain and a

Ninth, will be a beautiful white way.
The new postofflee will be on the east
side of Barrett plaza and the city’s nev.
public library and auditorium will be

"I got up late and changed to a new

friend in the lobby. "I was up late last
night, and therefore rather absent
minded this morning, so I forgot to put
my money in the new suit.

"I thanked him and went out on the

how far I could beat my way.

“‘Drop in any old time,’ he said. I

Breakfast and Cigar Come Easy.
“I bought a cigar at a stand three
blocks out and the clerk told me to
drop in any old day and leave the dime.
I went to breakfast at a Utile Greek
restaurant on a side street, just to see
how good the game really was. and the
only man who seemed to worry was the
waiter \<’ho didn’t get a. tip. The pro
prietor told me to send him the 40 cents
or drop in for another meal when I felt
like .it.
"That's as far as I went, but I’m
tempted to order three suits of clothes,
buy an automobile and a couple of dia

"I’ve got to get busy now, make the
round of those places again and pay my
bills. I remember them all, but th"
man on the street car is a loser. When
I asked him his name ho said it didn't
matter a darn, as lie wouldn't take his
nickel back anyway.
"I don't know whether it was my
honest countenance or just the power
of a clean collar and a well pressed
suit, but' anyway it was easy. But I
don’t believe there's another town in

I'd tried it in K. U. I'd be yelling for
somebody to come down and bail me
