3 Real Romances of Sunny Georgia [[
BOARDING SCHOOL NO BARRIERTO
WOOING BY MACON’S RICHEST SON
As “Brother.” Jennings Adams
Courts Miss Gladys O’Neal.
To Wed July 3.
The approaching union of the two
richest families of Macon by the mar
riage of Miss Gladys O'Neal, daughter
of b. P. O’Neal, to Jennings Adams,
son of B. T. Adams, will be the sequel
of a romantic boarding school court
ship.
It was by Mr. Adams' frequent visits
to Winston-Salem, N. to see her
secretly at a select girls college that
Miss O’Neal was wooed and won.
The school regulations prohibited the
young women from receiving the com
pany of boys and men other than close
relatives. But the determined suitor
evaded this rule by registering at a Sa
lem hotel as “Jennings O’Neal" and bj
representing himself to be the brother
of one of the school’s attend
ants.
So regular were his visits to Win
ston-Salem and so persistent his at
tentions to Miss O’Neal that the col
lege officials came to the conclusion
that he was a most exceptionally de
voted brother.
Then Came the
Undoing of “Brother,”
Whether the Imposition practiced
upon them by the sweethearts was
disclosed by envious school mates, or
whether they just naturally came to
the conclusion that the weekly caller
at the institution was too assiduous
in his attentions to be a brother, is not
known.
However, there was an investiga
tion, resulting in the .disclosure that
Miss O’Neal did not have a "big broth
er,’’ so she was punished by having to
do extra lessons and Mr. Adams was
barred from seeing her. But school
. closed for the year just about that
time, and Miss O'Neal graduated with
highest honors, taking several prizes
for excellence in special studies.
Papa O'Neal was so delighted that he
promised to give his apt daughter any
thing she wanted, but he hesitated
when she blushingly suggested that she
would like to have a husband.
"He'll come later," said the father,
“and when he does, if he suits your
fancy and is an agreeable young fel
low. you may have him."
Tells Sweetheart
Os Father's Promise..
. The remark was made in the pres
ence of Mrs. O'Neal, who concurred in
the sentiment.
Immediately Miss O'Neal communi
cated this to her intended husband, for
they had long since sworn eternal and
undying love. He went to Mother
O’Neal, choosing a day when Mr. O Neal
was out of the city attending to mat
ters connected with his extensive lum
ber interests In south Georgia.
Mrs. O’Neal demurred, when she re
covered from her amazement, and said
that her husband should be consulted.
■‘Well, we're going to marry." de
clared the determined young man. “and
that's all there is to it; in fact, we are
going to announce our engagement this
/ afternoon."
"No you don't. ’ admonished the pios
pective mother-in-law. hut son-in-law
to-be heeded her not. and rushed down
to the office of The Macon News, where
he gave a formal engagement notice to
Miss Winchester, the society editor,
signing Mr. and Mrs. B. P. ♦ > Neal s
" name to it.
About the time that the engagement
reached the hands of a .printer Mrs.
O’Neal called up. and demanded that
the notice be disregarded and kept out
of the paper.
But the Announcement
Appeared in the Paper.
The society editor obliged, by send
ing up a note to the foreman to send
her the "copy” of the engagement. The
"copy" was sent down, but only after it
had been put in type.
As the foreman, not altogether un
derstanding jhe purport of the request
for th’ "copy.” thought that the notice
was intended for publication, he, In
. consideration of the prominence of the
parties, put it at the top of the society
page. And thus it appeared in print
that afternoon.
.Mr. Adams was casually reading his
afternoon paper in the library when his
eye was attracted by the announce
ment. He gasped, and sent for his son.
congratulated him. and told him to
draw on him for enough to cover the
expense of a European tour for a
honeymoon.
Mrs. O'Neal read the notice in almost
as casual a manner, not suspecting that
it would be In the paper. She locked
her daughter in the dining room and
telephoned the newspaper office, where
eventually due explanations were made
Her wrath was still at boiling heat
when Mr. O'Neal arrived home. He
heard the whole story, sympathized
with the young sweetheart, and said
that while the affair was somewhat
premature and hasty, everything was
satisfactory and would be all right In
the end.
Consequently. Mr. Adams and Miss
O'Neal sat side by side on the immense
f ont porch of the palatial O’Neal terj
dence that night; and this residence,
hj the way. i‘ the most sunrptuous in
Macon. It is located on the crest of
Coleman's Hill, overliing the busi
ness portion of the city, and re
sembles in its architectural features
the design of the Athenettm Acropoli-
Plans for the wedding are fast ma
turing. It will be one of the most elab
orate that Macon has seen in many
years, and will take' place at the O'Neal
home on July 3 More than 2,on<) in
vitations will be issued.
Mr. Jennings Adams was recently set
up in the wholesale grocery business
and is looked upon as a coming busi
ness man of Macon. His father is a
banker, cotton factor, w holesale met
, hunt and investor, and has a fortune
that is way above a million. Mr. O’Neal
made several millions out of deals in
timber and turpentine lands in south
Georgia, and Is easily th' wealthiest
citizen of Macon,
Miss O'Neal is being entertained lav
ishly by Macon society in honor of her
.- approaching nuptials.

Letter Says Prof. Parker Suc
ceeded in Reaching Top of
Highest Mountain.
SEATTLE. WASH.. June 25. That
Prof. Herschel Parker, of Columbia uni
versity, has reached the summit of
Mt. McKinley, America's highest peak,
and hitherto unsealed, and is now' on
his way to tell the world of his suc
cess, is the word received by Mrg.
George Browne, of Tacoma, mother of
Belmore Browne. Prof. Parker's com
panion, in a letter today from her son.
The letter, mailed April 13. said that
at that time the party was on the
summit and had but little difficulty, and
would reach Cooks Inlet on its way out
side before July 1.
Browne wrote that the passes u>l
by the expedition were much easier
than those used on previous occasions
Two new glaciers had been found and
would be reported when the party- re
turns to civilization.
Mount McKinley, besides being the
highest mountain the United States, is
associated with the name of br. Fred
erick Cook. Cook claimed years ago
that he had ascended to the top of the
mountain and even brought hack pho
tographs, alleging that they proved his
claim of being the first man who ever
scaled the dangerous peak. Later ex
peditions to Mount McKinley have
claimed that Cook never reached the
summit of the maintain and that his’
alleged ascent of the mountain was a
fake that paralleled his alleged discov
ery of the north pole.

FORSYTH HAS THE BEST
VAUDEVILLE OF SEASON
About the best bill of vaudeville ever
seen In Atlanta is at the Forsyth this
week. and. despite the heavy downpour
of rain just before the opening Monday
night, a big audience was there to greet
the week's entertainers. To enumerate
the head line acts, it would be necessary
to reprint the program; that statement
alone showing the quality of the bill.
Gu? Edwards and his aggregation of
stage beauties is a musical comedy show
in itself. The scenes are very effective,
the girls dance and sing well and look bet
ter, and Edwards is at his best in his
“Song Revue.” The act lasts forty min
utes. and for once the audience remained
to the last note, and then some—long
enough to give a last round of applause
to Edwards, his kiddies and his pretty
girls. The "Song Revue" includes all the
old favorites, each sung in an appropriate
setting. There are the sidewalks of New-
York for the song “When I Was a Kid
Like You." a scene in Florence. Italy, with
flowered balconies and pretty girls, for the
“Italian Romeo" song, a darkened vault
for "Look Out for Jimmy Valentine." and
so on. This number alone is a good show
in Itself
Hut there are others. The bill opens
with a new- and striking novelty, called
HILLYER’S HAT IN RING
IS SOURCE OF WORRY
TO TROX BANKSTON
W; Trox Bankston, the West Point
editor, who is a candidate for railroad
commissioner in the August primary,
came into Atlanta today much per
turbed over Judge Hillyer's determina
tion to run for re-election.
Rauikston, like all of the other can
didates for a commissionership, had
taken Judge Hillyer’s statement, mgde
months ago. to the effect that he would
not be in the running, as final. Bank
ston, like several others, had announced
to his constituents that he was in the
contest for Judge Hillyer's seat.
Now it develops that Judge Htllyer
has changed his mind and will be in
the race. He gave assurance of this
in a statement made public Saturday,
asserting that his friends over the state
had insisted that he abandon his idea
of retirement.
Mr. Bankston wants it distinctly un
derstood that he really believed Judge
Htllyer was not to run when he sent
letters over the state announcing him
self as a candidate for the place. He
had no idea, he told The Georgian to
day, that Judge Htllyer would an
nounce.
LOAN AGENT ACCUSED OF
THREATENING MAN’S JOB
Asserting that P. P. Jackson, a loan
agent, has sought, by threatening his
job with the Southern railroad, to col
lect $79 for a loan of $29. Bud Favors,
a switchman, has obtained a temporary
order from Judge Pendleton restrain
ing the Southern railroad from paying
his wages to Jackson.
Favors told the court that he already
bad paid Jackson $28.60 for the $26
borrowed. Jackson, he asserted, threat
ened to appear at the offices of the
Southern with a fake assignment of his
wages.
CENTRAL TO ISSUE BONDS.
SAVANNAH, GA., June 25—When
the stockholders of the Central of Geor
gia railway meet here July 8 a plan
will be submitted to them authorizing
a huge issue of five per cent refunding
bonds, from which a considerable sum
will be spent in improvements, and a
portion held in reserve for refunding
purposes.
"In T-aperche Equipoise.” by Delmore
and Oneida, which puts the audience in
an eager attitude for more right at the
start. Then comes Carlin and Penn, in a
humorous comedy diversion, called "Get
ting a Divorce." Following the clever
German comedians are the Four Solis
brothers, novelty musicians. The act Is
far above the best of its kind ever seen
here. The selections are classic and pop
ular. and the mirambaphone, new musi
cal instrument, invented by one of the
brothers, has a beautiful sound, and re
sponds to the magic touch of the four fine
musicians in splendid style. This is an
especially fine number on the program.
A characteristic May Tully playlet
comes next, admirably acted by Lida Mc-
Millian and company, following which Jar
row, the talkative juggler, has lots of fun
with his audience, and in the meantime
does some clever stunts, .larrow is very
much out of the ordinary, and his act is
a hlg hit.
Gus Edwards himself and his company
close the bill, with their forty-minute
act.
The Forsyth does itself proud this week
and so long as a bill of this quality is
presented Atlantans wMli not have to go to
New York for tip-top vaudeville.
NOVELIST EDWARDS’
“WOODHAVEN GOAT”
IN REALITY HIS COW
MACON. GA., June 25.—Harry Still
well Edwards, postmaster of Macon,
and Southern novelist of considerable
prominence, doesn’t tell anything in his
most graphic fiction that beats the
truth of w'hat happened to him. In
his well-known story, "The Woodha
ven Goat." Mr. Edwards delineated a
goat butting over a beehive.
Yesterday Mr. Edwards’ fine Jersey
cow. w'hfle tethered to a tree tn his yard,
did exactly the same thing. The bees
got after the cow with a sting in every
one of them and Edwards was forced
to go to the aid of his milk producer
to cut the rope that prevented her es
cape from the fiery Insects. He cut
the rope and the cow ran off. where,-
upon the bees promptly transferred
their attack to Mr. Edwards. He was
stung so badly that he is in bed today
and his Jersey cow is somewhere
threshing through the swamps writ
half a hive of bees still clinging to her
