DARING OOY P. 0. THIEF CONFESSES Tells of 30 Robberies in Re markable Statement—Wins , Suspension of Sentence. A remarkable confession is on file with Governor Brown to- *iav. submitted by Postoffice In spector Gregory in an attempt to secure commutation of sentence for a former "yeggman." who is now be ing used by the Federal government in an effort tn break up an organized gang that has blown postoffice safes in the South for years. v The youthful "yegg," who sailed un der the name of Red Harrington dur ing his career of crime, but ,whose real name is withheld, unblushingly pleaded guilty to at least 30 robberies in Geor gia and the Carolinas extending over a period of twelve years. He gave his age as 29 and asserted he .became a full-fledged safe blower in good stand ing with the Southern gang when but seventeen years of age. Harrington served two penitentiary sefrtences, one in a turpentine camp in Sylvester, from which he escaped be fore completion of his term, and an other in the Federal prison. He was pardoned by President Taft to be used hy the postoffice department In prose cuting his former pals. It was the Georgia sentence still hanging over the boy's head that caused the postoffice authorities to ap peal to Governor Brown. The governor suspended Harrington's remaining six months sentence. Harrington began his criminal expe riences in South Carolina in 1900, com mitting burglaries and blowing safes, uninterrupted, for four years. He was captured near Carl. Ga.. in 1904. and threatened with lynching if he did not betray his pals. The mob that assembled tied him to a stake and threatened to burn him and later beat him with a buggy whip, but he re mained loyal. The postoffice authorities told the governor that Harrington is now in a little South Carolina town, where he is living a life of rectitude. His testi mony alone, they said, had secured the conviction of at least six desperate yeggmen. Health Is the foundation of all good 1ook«.

SUCCEED IN OUSTING ALL CIRCUMLOCUTION American Directness and Brevity at, La,st Applied To All Lines. Far back before the day when Chris topher Columbus succeeded in persuad ing Queen Isabella that the world was really round and then set out and dis covered this section of the globe, the original Americans had away of "talk Ing through their hats." as the ”lang ist says. If the red man wanted to ask a neighbor for the loan of a few pota toes and an onion for the dog soup he was preparing, he was likely to com mence with a few desultory remarks about the stars in the heavens, his mis taken ideas about, the moon, throw in a few paragraphs about the happy hunt ing grounds of the future and the nice winter weather of the present, and then slide in that modest request fora dona tion. so that If neighbor was not fol lowing his line of conversation closely, the potatoes and onion would be en tirely obscured in the verbiage No matter what he had to say the. Indian would “beat about the bush" in making talk, and that i- possibly one reason why he never got anywhere and was badly trampled on in the march of progress, because it took him such a long time to let anyone know that he was being hurt Now, the people who helped push poor Lo” off the earth, as it were, were more forceful in their utterances and their descendants are even more so. The modern American has no lime to circumlocute and wants everything brief and fio the point. To fill this need, the Standard Atlas and <'hronological History of the World was designed, and that is why it Is now In great demand at The Georgian's of fice.

Howard Horace Graves, Colonel Kim-' ball House Ed Brown's best bet "be hind the tavern counter," was referred to in a newspaper recently as "Bar keep Horace." Howard Horace didn't throw any fits about that, particularly, although he isn’t a “barkeep" and never has been, being nothing more nor less than a modest hotel clerk, but it started him to “ruminating," as the late Bill Arp used to put it “T recall some of the barkeeps that used to be on the job in this hostelry long ago. and I think now and then of the glorious concoctions they used to frame up along about this time of the year. “We had one here once who could make the finest mint juleps in the world—all frosty with sugar, and great bunches of green stuff sticking out of the glass, and—you know, don't you? "You can not get. a. genuine mint julep nowadays, unless maybe you run afoul of an old-time Georgia 'colonel' somewhere who hasn’t forgotten how they really should be made! "You see," continued How’ard Hor ace. after an Impressive pause, "the modern mixologist doesn't know the difference between a mint julep and a whisky smash. The former is a drink fashioned originally for the Olympian gods, when they had tired of ambro siaal nectars and required something really fine and appertizing. The other thing—the man who drinks it is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils, and hath no fiiusic in his soul or apprecia tion in his palate. “In a mint julep the mint is never bruised, and it must be watered in the melting of its own ice; in a whisky smash the mint is bruised, crushed and otherwise maltreated, and the re sult is a drink fit for no gentleman, anyway, “Our good, old-fashioned barkeep was a wonder of the old persuasion. He came down to us. gently and sweet ly, from 'befo' de wah' days—-bless him! He has gone tn his high reward. I sus pect. He was not altogether of this earth, perhaps. He was a rare mixer of mint juleps—take him for all In all, I suppose we shall qot look upon his like again," concluded Howard Horace. And as he dismissed the subject, lov ingly and caressingly, Howard Horace's voice softened to a melancholy cadence of resignation and noble despair.

JUNE 14. 1912. ATLANTA SPIRIT GERM 15 LOOSED Boosters to Make Their Efforts Count for All of Georgia Hereafter. Members of tht> Ad Men’s club are busy today with a plan for Atlanta to extend a more cordial hand of fellow ship to all of sister Georgia cities and towns. The idea is to make the “At lanta. spirit" hereafter the “Georgia spirit." and the first step is to be a series of one-day excursion trips throughout the state by several hun dred of Atlanta's leading citizens. The project was proposed at a din ner of the Ad Men’s club at the Pied mont hotel last night by W. F. Park hurst. It was immediately approved by the Chamber of 'Commerce, through President Wilmer L. Moore. On the spot it was decided that Macon should be visited in a special train as soon as the trip could be arranged. Returned delegates from the Nation al Ad Men’s convention at Dallas. Tex as. compared the Texas cities with At lanta. They told nf the wonderful harmony and co-operation of the cities of Dallas, Houston. Fort Worth and Waco Ivan E. Allen said the greatest ad vantage these cities had over Atlanta was commission government. Others pointed out advantages At lanta and Georgia should "copy, until W. J. Davis spoke. He proved to the meet ing that the state of Texas, as well as the cities, was governed by Georgians, and said that he would not give At lanta for two of their cities, with Bir mingham thrown in. That turned the tide, and Atlanta got all the praise thereafter. The other speakers were T. H. Bran nen. J K. Orr, W. T. Anderson, of The Macon Telegraph. Walter Cooper, sec retary of the Chamber V>f Commerce; L. D. Hicks, St. Elmo Massengale. J. W. Hill, and others. Jw| ’ '•*■. '■ / 1 ~ : ’ pB r THE fiLOBE CLOTHING CO. Q THE GLOBE CLOTHING CO.
