TEN CLUB MEMBERS
PUZZLED BY PAPER
ON ‘ORIGINAL IDIOT’
Members of the Ten club act puzzled
today over the question of whether
Walter G. Cooper had any personal
meaning in the paper he read at the
final meeting lor the summer last night
at the residence of Prof. M. L. Brit
tain.
"The Original Idiot" was the/subject
of the essay. Mr. Cooper took up the
original meaning of the word "idiot,"
which he said was derived from a Greek
word meaning a person in a private
station 'if life, not holding public of
fice and not taking any share In af
fairs of state, and traced the word
through the English language to its
present significance.
Eight members of the club attend
ed and H. A Etheridge was present as
a guest. The members may hold an
informal meeting late In July, provid
ed enough of the membership is In tho
city to justify it. Otherwise the next
meeting will be in the early fall.

McDonald Declares He Knows
Nothing of the Slashing of
Robert L. Stevens.
Frank McDonald, a waiter in Du
rand's Edgewood avenue restaurant,
was arrested thi-g afternoon for the
stabbing of Robert L. Stevens, son of
Colonel O. B. Stevens, of 304 East Lin
den avenue. Stevens Is at the point of
death in the Grady hospital.
McDonald, for whom the police had
been searching all day. denied abso
lutely any connection whatever with
the case. He declared he knew noth
ing of the stabbing until he read of it
In the newspapers.
Stevens was taken to the .hospital
with a gaping wound extending several
inches across his abdomen. Glen Bul
lard, of College Park, who was with
Stevens, made the accusation against
McDonald, and the police began a city
wide hunt for the waiter.
At Grady hospital the physicians said
Stevens had little chance for life.
Stevens gave a remarkable exhibition
of nerve on the operating table, refus
ing Ihe use of an anesthetic. He urged
the physicians to keep the affair a se
cret from his parents and smiled grimy
ly as the gaping wound was sewed to
get her.
According to Bullard’s version of the
shooting. Stevens. McDonald and three
other young men stopped in a cigar
stand on Pryor street to get some ciga
rettes. Stevens and McDonald got into
a row. No one thought the affair was
at all serious. Stevens displayed a shoe
buttoner as his ‘'weapon” and McDon
ald drew a small pearl-handled pen
knife.
Out on the sidewalk the argument
was renewed and Stevens is said to
have slapped McDonald across the face.
McDonald pulled out his knife and
slashed Stevens across the abdo
men, according to Bullard’s story.
The wounded youth, gasping in pain,
ran toward the Black apartments, with
several of the party close behind him.
He dashed up two flights of stairs to
lhe room of a friend, where he fell in a
faint.
Policeman J, D. Kilpatrick stated he
saw McDonald back toward
Peachtree street, remarking that "it
was a. shame for a friend of his to have
been cut that way."
Robert Stevens is one of the best
known young men In Atlanta. He Is a
graduate of the North Georgia Agricul
tural college, at Dahlonega, and also
prominent in state college circles.

Health is the foundation of all good
looks. The wise woman realizes thia
and takes precautions to preserve her
health and strength through the pe
riod of child bearing. She remains a
pretty mother by avoiding as far aa
possible the suffering and dangers of
I such occasions. This every woman
may do through the use of Mother's
Friend, a remedy that has been so long
in use, and accomplished so much
good, that it is in no sense an experi
ment, but a preparation which always
produces the best results. It is for
external application and so penetrating
in its nature as to thoroughly lubricate
every muscle, nerve and tendon in
; volved during the period before baby
i comes. It aids nature by expanding
I the skin and tissues, relieves tender
-1 nfiss and soreness, and perfectly pre
pares the system for natural and safe
motherhood. Mother’s Friend has been
used and endorsed by thousands of
mothers, and its use will prove a com
fort and benefit g
to any woman in
need of such a
remedy. Mother’s *L
Friend is sold at CJ/W
drug stores. Write for free book for
expectant mothers, which contains
much valuable information.

SUPERIOR COURT IS
ASKED TO SET ASIDE
DECISION IT MADE
The superior court has been asked to
find its own decision illegal. Gustave L.
Cantrell, manager of the Gate City Elec
tric Company, has filed an injunction to
prevent collection of S6O awarded Charles
P. Bailey by that court May 8 R R-
Jackson, R. M. Bell and Charles P. Bailey
are made defendants.
Mr. Cantrell asserts that when the case
was set for hearing his attorney, Stiles
Hopkins, was ill and unable to appear for
him in court; that the plaintiff agreed to
the postponement of the case until Mr.
Hopkins was able to be at court, but the
agreement was. not kept. He says he
knew nothing of the judgment until Mr.
Bell appeared Monday morning and an
nounced he would levy against the Gate
City Electric Company if the judgment
was not paid, and that when he sought a
restraining order from Mr. Jackson, who
was formerly justice of peace, he had re
signed and refused to issue the order.
His only recourse then was to ask the
superior court to set aside the case it re
cently had decided.
