I think she should have been permitted to go her way in matrimonial peace, so long as peace was on the job. "Marriage is merely a matter of taste, anyway. Some people are glut tons for it; others find an infinitesmal fraction more than a lifetime suffi ciency. “Miss Russell evidently believes in a variety of matrimony. So far, how ever. she has appeared to like it best in homeopathic doses She has been married. 1 understand, less than fifteen months all told, and no one attack has lasted mote than six months.

The tine weath er has brought with it a new develop ment in the now constant process of relaxation in men’s dress. The new "polo collar” is the final step taken in the reaction against the stiff ness of the mid-Victorian age. It is made of soft linen or silk, with two long points flapping out from the safety pin that holds them together. Its effect Is to lend tq the iryist roughly hewn face an expression of quite childlike ingenuousness. Soft shirts, too, have ousted the old ephod of starched linen. The top hat has become almost a sacramental gar ment. reserved for weddings, funerals and Sunday morning service. The frock coat is now mainly remembered as a Victorian mode. J Hh A I LAN TA GLOKHIAN AM) NEWS. JI ESDAY. JUNE 18. 1912. WATSON IGNORES MERCER THREAT Editor Fires Return Broadside at Commissioner, But Does Not Mention Cowhiding. Apparently Thomas E. Watgon, the "red-headed person” from Thomson, isn’t even a little bit worried because of Fish and Game Commissioner Jesse Mercer’s threat to tome down Thom sonwav ami "cowhide" Watson If Wat son falls to right an alleged financial wrong inflicted upon his late law part ner, James W. Green, and since upon his widow. Mr. Mercer says the Thomson man instigated, on behalf of the heirs, a “fake" lawsuit against Mercer, as exec utor of the estate of the late P. E. Boyd, and that, after grabbing a big fee, he appropriated most of it to his own use, despite the fact, that his then flying partner. Green, was entitled to half of It. It is the righting ot this wrong that Mercer says Watson must come to, or face a "cowhiding.” Mercer says but for Watson’s inter ference in the settlement of the Boyd estate the heirs would have received much more than the SIB,OOO they did receive. Fee Satisfactory to Clients. Commenting upon this matter, Mr. Watson says: James W. Green lived practically within my own family circle, and I never knew a soberer or more in dustrious lawyer. As to the fee we took, it was strictly In accordance with the con tract, and was perfectly satisfac tory to our clients. Had we not Intervened in their behalf, Jesse Mercer and his brother would have stripped them of everything. Reckless in his mendacity, Mer cer accuses me of having robbed James W. Green and practically in timates that this wrong, inflicted upon the unfortunate man by me, caused his death. The truth is, he himself fixed my share of the fee, sending me the check, and also returning to me the amount which I had voluntari ly Jiaid to keep up his Insurance policy, when he itas confined to his bed with the dropsy that killed him. and was unable to keep up the Insurance himself. This fact can he verified by any one who w ill inquire of the president and cashier of the McDuffie bank, or who will write to the former cashier, Mr. s William S. Lazenby, of Harlem, : Ga. 1 Doesn't Refer to Threat. The "red-headed person" doesn't seem . to consider the threatened Mercer "cow hiding” as really worthy of no tice. Anyway, he doesn’t refer to it, and hasn’t in any communication di rected to The Georgian. Maybe that is because he has not been profoundly impressed with the earnestness ot Mercer’s threat. Or maybe it Is because Mercer never has said when the "cowhiding” is to be pulled off. Whatever his Idea is, Watson is showing no undue excitement. TYPO HEAD I*o SEEK LEGISLATIVE PROBE OF STATE PRINTING Luther Still, president of the Atlanta Typographical union, says that he will take his fight for a thorough investiga tion of the state’s printing to the leg islature and ask for a special legis lative probe. Mr Still who submitted a statement to the state printing commission charg ing that the acts of 1912 and house and senate journals of 1912 had been pad ded by the Byrd Printing Company and not printed according to contract, is not at all satisfied with the report filed with the governor by Frank Cohen, hired by the printing commission to mage an investigation. Cohen reported he found no padding in the work. "There was padding done on the I state’s printing last year.” said Mr. Still. "I can prove this. I am going to ask the legislature to make a com plete investigation."

DIAMONDS Economically Handled During the many years of our successful handling of dia monds, we have sought to acquaint ourselves with every detail connected therewith, from the'time they are mined until they go into possession of the individual. The information gained from taking the matter up so thoroughly has been a source of our lopping many of the expenses connected therewith, until today we do not believe there is a retailer that can offer you , greater value for the money. i We are exercising the same careful attention in the selec- tion of our stock as we have in the past, and as is the case when any commodity is bought in exceptionally large quantities, we are able to get them much below what they would cost us were we to buy in small lots. We keep in touch -with the mines, and whenever there is a raise to be made in their price we are advised of such intention, and as was the case with us last Fall, when they advanced from 15 to 30 per cent, we lay in a tremendous stock.
