COLLEGEBOYANO
GIRL, 15, ELOPE
Emory Sophomore and Sweet
heart Flee to Altar in
Motor Car.
ATHENS, GA., June 20.—Frank
Edwards, a seventeen-year-old sopho
more in Emory college, and Miss Hunt,
er Barnett, who is only fifteen, decided
that a fleeing automobile was the only
proper solution of the parental edict
which put a cloud over their love af
fair. and they eloped from Oxford in
the machine that the lad's father had
given him only a few weeks ago
The secret marriage that followed
has just been divulged here, where the
bride returned with no word of the ro
mance or the marriage certificate. The
families of both boy and girl today an
nounced their forgiveness
Young Edwards, who is a son of a
prominent Tpccoa merchant, met Miss
Barnett a year ago when he was a
fieshman in the University of Georgia.
They were known to take long walks
together and appeared at all functions
together. Neither parents nor friends
dreamed that they contemplated mar
riage.
At the end of the last year Edwards.’
parents decided that he should not re
turn to the university this year. He
took it very much to heart, but when
Captain J. VV. Barnett, father of the
young woman and Athens' city engi
neer, told her that Edwards would not
return she said it made no difference to
her whatever and she returned quite
unperturbed to her studies in the Lucy
Cobb institute. Nevertheless, she was
not long in learning that young Ed
wards was continuing his studies at
'Emory college, and a secret corre
spondence between the two followed, in
which they planned the elopement.
Just before the Emory commence
ment Mias Barnett suddenly went on a
visit to relatives in Oxford. She met
Edwards the next day and accepted his
invitation to an auto ride. They told
friends that they were just going for a
little spin.
Instead they sped to Monroe, where
they obtained a marriage license and
the wedding followed at the nearest
minister's house. Just afterward young
Mrs. Edwards appeared at her "home
quite as though nothing had happened.
She saiil no word of the marriage, and,
since Edwards kept mum also, it would
probably still remain a secret but for
the fact that university students living
in Monroe told of having seen the mar
riage license.
Then Mrs. Edwards, confessed ano
her parents scolded her and forgave
her. The. same situation came' to pass
in the Edwards home, and then the
young couple, with full parental con
sent, at last entered the automobile
again and hurried to Atlanta, where, as
the bride expressed it, they went to
purchase another auto "for us."

DOCTOR HELD IN

Three Youths Give Testimony
Against the Pronrietor of
Roper’s Pharmacy.
Vigorous war against the illegal sale
of cocaine in Atlanta has been declared
by the police and Recorder Broyles to
rescue scores of boys, victims of the
deadly drug.
The first move came today in the
conviction in police court of Dr. Wil
liam D. Roper, proprietor of Roper’s
pharmacy, at Pryor and Wall streets,
against whom three young men, one of
them a member of a prominent family,
gave positive testimony.
Judge Broyles Imposed a fine of
$500.75 or 30 days on Dr. Roper on the
charge of violating the city cocaine law
and also, bound him over to the state
courts in bond of SI,OOO.
Victim Pleads for
Breaking Up of Traffic.
The city charge is based on evidence
that the druggist sold cocaine without
inclosing it In a scarlet wrapper, while
the state offense consists of the selling
of the drug without a physician's pre
scription.
In explaining his evidence against Dr.
Roper, one of the victims pleaded that
the traffic in cocaine be broken up. in
order that others as well as himself
might be saved.
The police say that the "coke" habit
has made startling inroads in Atlanta,
not only among negroes but among
young white men. Large numbers of
boys, they say, are fast being ruined
by the drug. t
In the hope of remedying this condi
tion, Police Chief Beavers has Insti
tuted a searching investigation, and
any druggist found selling cocaine in
violation of law will be haled to police
court and vigorously prosecuted. Judge
Broyles declares he will back the police
in this fight to the limit of his power.
That he means just what he says is
evidenced by the penalty meted to
Druggist Roper. '
