courtship, said Mrs. Beck. The boy
had simply seen tin girl, had l.ured
her away from home and borne her off

eyes struck one that pleased him.
The boy is t'arl Henderson. In his

she hoped to have the marriage an
nulled and to have young Henderson
landed in Jail on a charge of abduction

Yesterday afternoon two women of
t'hattahoo< in e ■ ante to the Beck
home and called to Mamie Beck, the
daughter. tv-aring no harm, Mamie
went out into the yard. She was then
led through the woods to a house where
Carl Henderson, his father. Sam Hen
derson. and .lames t’rawford were wait
ing for her. Mrs. Beck followed. Upon
her arrival at the house, she found her
daughter inside with Carl Henderson
and demanded that the child come back
with her.
When she made this demand site was
pushe.d aside by s'im Henderson, who
told his son to carry .lie girl to a min
ister as soon it? possible. W hilt' he
two were making off Mrs. Beck was
held bx .lames Crawford.
Says She’ll Prosecute All.
Young Henderson had never called
at the Beck home.
Mrs. Beck had never hoard her
daughter speak of him.
Mrs. Beck declared today that, every
person concerned in the marriage-by
force would b. prosecuted.
Later in the afternoon she swore out
warrants against Carl and Sam Hen
derson and James Crawford, charging
them with assault and battery. At
torney A. C. Corbett, of Moore &
Branch, was employed to represent her.

■’Sex Controller”—He Says
Both Are Ideal.
NKW YORK. May 23. -Scientists to
, day are deeply interested In the claim
. of Dr. David Allyn Gorton, the Brook
lyn physician, that he has discovered
the secret es sex control.
Just about a year ago Dr. Gorton,
who is in his eightieth year, married
Bertha Rehbein. his stenographer and
literary secretary. A romance. his
friends called the marriage, but today
it appears to have been a romance of
a more philosophical order than they
suspected.
By DR. D. A. GORTON.
I am overjoyed at the gracious grant
to me and mine of twins—a son and a
daughter, both the most beautiful chil
dren that I over have seen. I did not
bespeak for but one—a son—but the
gift of a daughter twin was not less
welcome, be assured.
I It was a grave responsibility at my
age- nyar 80—to become the father of
a child. It was no hasty or ill-con-
I sidored resolution, but a deliberate one.
full of purpose and meaning; and I
would have it understood that F was
actuated by tlm highest and most ex
alted motives, in which my wife fully
' shared. An ambition to rear a son who
' would be able to take up my task when
I must lay It down has possessed me
for mote than a quarter of a century.
I am criticised in certain quarters,
and not ‘without excellent reasons, for
: assuming so great a task at this time
of my life. Time alone can decide as
to the wisdom, or otherwise, of my
course. It required no small degree of
courage to carry my purpose; but to
achieve it I would sacrifice ease and
comfort and run the risk of short al
lowance and penury the rest of my
days.
Outlines His Theories.
I believe that my theories of per
petual youth have worked out. Here
are the essentials:
first. work in fundamental. I have
been a hard working fellow all my life,
and work is what has kept me young.
It's trite hut true; it never kjlled any
man. Work hard for work's sake, for
there is no branch of industry in which
you can use your hands without exer- I
cising your brains. 1 went to work on I
a farm in northern New York when 1
was eight, and 1 have been working
. over since. 1 abominate the factory |
laws which prevent children being ern- |
ployed. It is fir better that they
should work, if the employment can
be under sanitary and healthful con- I
ditions, than ilia 1 they be turned loose
to pernicious idleness. It would be far
better if the children of the poor were
placed at healthful employment young
er. I would repuiri it also of the rich;
' perhaps they need it more.
Second, education; and that should
be on much tiiff rent lines There never
■' u. • i: • a pc , ept than "Know i
; tow-* If." The schools do wrong in
•teaching ■'• . < n letters all( i keeping
litem in ignmam ■ of themselves. Nat-|
; in.is si<ni - and the laws of life should I
i emo first.

ACTION TODAY '
DN CITY PUNT
Finance Committee Expected
to Move at Last to Avert
Menacing Situation.
"If the members of the finance com
mittee feel that this garbage disposal
proposition is too big a matter for
them to act on finally. let them refer it
to council without* recommendation. A
special meeting of council can be called
and we can decide it there.' said a
prominent member of council and a
member of the finance committee today.
It is expected, however, that the
finance committee will lake final action
at its meeting this afternoon. W. H. I
Sawyer & Sons and 'he Forsyth • re
ma tory Company, both of Atlanta, xvil!
submit new propositions. But the sen
timent of a majority of the finance
committee is to recommend the propo
sition the board of health urges—the
$440,000 bid of the Destructor Company
of New York.
W H. Saw.xir .'»• Sons will submit a
bid to build a reduction plant which
will separat’ all the valuable parts of
the gaibage for $247,500. The Forsyth
Crematory Company will offer to buiid
a 250-ton capacity incinerator for $50.-
000. Members of the board of health
have already considered both of these
propositions. They sax Expert Hering
lias recommended tin- high-priced plant
with the electric plant and water pump
as the b' st plan for the city, ami that
they have been convinced that he is
right.
Max or Winn said today it was up to
the finance committee to act and mem
bers of the board of health and other
officials xvill be present this afternoon
to urge dispatch.
"We are exasperated at the rielax.
said Dr. \\ . L. Gilbert today. "We must
begin at once to relieve the city of this
- garbage nuisance.”

USED MEE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Re
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its Natural Color.
It is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore it. although it
is possible to do both. Our grandmoth
ers understood the secret. They made
a "sage tea.” and their dark, glossy hair
long after middle life was due to this
fact. Our mothers have gray hairs be
fore tliev are.fifty, but they are begin
ning to appreciate the wisdom of our
grandmothers in using “sage tea” for
their hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the ad
vantage of the past in that it can gel a
ready-to-use preparation called Wy
eth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy.
As a scalp tonic and color restorer this
preparation is vastly superior to the
ordinary "sage tea" made by our grand
mothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on a healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy 'quickly kills the dandruff
germs which rob the hair of its life,
color and lustre, makes the scalp clean
and healthy, gives the hair strength,
color and beauty, arid makes it grow.
