WIFE OF SDLOM
SWESNEGRO
She Makes Successful Protest
Against Hanging in Georgia
Baseball Park.
Because f< woman objected to the
erection of a gallows tn the Louisville.
Ga., baseball park. Charles Gibbons, a
friendless negro, sentenced to die fol
the killing of a mulatto woman, wil
not hang tomorrow.
As soon as Mrs. R. N. Hardeman,
whose husband. "Bob'' Hardeman, i.
in Atlanta representing Jefferson 'coun
ts' in the legislature, heard the sound
of the hammer and saw on the gallows
that was to accomplish (Zibbons' death
she wired to Atlanta.
"They are going to hang that negro
in the ball park within a stone's thmw
of our house,” she excitedly informed
her husband. "I want you to see the
governor and stop it.”
Following instructions explicitly,
Representative Hardeman called on
Governor Brown late yesterday after
noon. learning that new evidence had
been unearthed favorable to the negro's
ease. He came away from the execu
tive office with a two weeks respite for
Gibbons.
While Hardeman had never repre
sented the negro in court, he had of
late taken some slight interest in the
case, but It was the urgent telegram
from his wife, protesting against the
hanging in the ball park, that really
influenced him to plead with the gov
ernor for clemency.
Hardeman reall.v thinks that Gibbons
is not guilt) of a capital offense. He
asserted that the woman had been
killed at a negro picnic, where the
shooting had been more or less general.
He said:
"Gibbons was represented >y a law
yer appointed by the court, and his de.
sense was most perfunctory. All the
facts in the case did not go in by any
means. I expect to have all the facts
here next week," and it was for this
reason that the governor granted a
reprieve. •
"I might not have called on the gov
ernor yesterday If I hadn't received the
telegram from Mrs. Hardeman. She
wanted that ball park hanging stopped,
and J had to do my best to stop it.”

Miss Berta I'liomson illustrating one of the proper and san
itary ways to kiss a baby--on the back of the neck.
Never Press the Lips of the
Little One. Expert Nurse
Warns.
This Is th* third of The Georgian s Il
lustrated articles on the care of the baby
in hot weather
By MISS BERTA THOMSON.
(Nurse in Charge of the Children's \Var<
at Grady Hospital )
The kissing of the baby
Here we find probably more down
right carelessness In the care <»f the
baby than along any other line of its
general welfare
When it comes to kissing the bab\
we have a country full of champion
kissers. Not only the fond parents,
but all of the uncles, aunts, nephews,
nieces, cousins, friends and acquaint
ances practice osculation on the Inno
cent. helpless little babe frequently
to the utter undoing of the child
“Why?” some one will ask "Why
should such emphasis be laid on kiss
Ing?”
It on Back of Neck.
The answer comes from millions of
microbes which are surging in our
mouths and the very existence of
which forms the word DANG EK
Understand me. I do not oppose the
kissing of the baby no, not at all.
To do so would be absurd, for It ts
but natural (hut ap should mo shun
our affection for the "Hide lump of
sugar Kiss the bub*, hut
bnn’f kiMj it on the mouth
Kia* the halix in the right w«> and
nr gF will hr lone \n»i the ripbi
w I } -> it where but th*
mouth not in close proximity to the
mouth, either.
My choice is the back of the neck
You show just as much affection by
kissing the baby on the back of the
neck as \ou do by smacking It on the
mouth; the baby, 1 am sure, enjoys it
just as much, and then -most impor
tant of all you are not transmitting
to it a few million germs and mi
crobes every few minutes. I am equal
ly sure that the baby would just as
' soon be kissed on the back of the
nepk. or the bottom of the foot, or
anywhere else.
Klggina Great Danger to Babes.
Most babies, too. I expect, would
object to being kissed so much and
so freely by the grown-ups if they
ohly had the physical power to mani
fest their resentment Rut they have
io take It all and innocently risk their
lives just because these same grown
ups never think of the danger to a
child from a mere love kiss.
There is no telling how many chil
dren have disease, had
their lives wreckM. and possibly died
through the mouth-to-nU'uth kiss. It
is one of the greatest dangers t>ej*i
ting the Infant
<>f course, no one wants tn give a
bab\ a disease, and. if people wouki
just pause a moment ami Ihink, (he?
would -Hop kissing the baby on the
mouth If we would just remember
that our breath is constantly carry
ing off poisons from our body and
that it is a mighty easy thing to
transmit a disease through the mouth,
the llxes of babies would not bo placed
m such great jeopardy by kissing
Kissing is mighty nice for the
baby but lust be careful

SUCCESS SUGGESTIONS
FOR THE “LIVE WIRES”

Chances for gigantic transactions
are presented to you each day i i The
Georgian Want Ad pages; opportuni
ties to get better positions; a chance to
get better rooms, houses and apart
ments to live in; your long wished for
homelike boarding place; rare chancea
to buy. sell and exchange anything im
aginable. The Want Ads tell the needs
of business houses, home and individ
uals. These pages of small ads are
brimful of interesting facts that -many
turn to good advantages
Make it a daily habit to read care
fully the Want Ads of The Georgian
and you will make two dollars to wheru
you made one at some other deul. Try
it and see. •

1O YEAR OLD SIDE
BEST SWIMMER
Jennie Perkerson Does 25
Yards in Piedmont Lake in
40 Seconds—Wins Prize.
Little Jennie Perkerson. who, some
folks think, is a coming Annette Kel
lermann, showed her older rivals in
the Fourth of July events at Piedmont
park lake today just how to swim and
dive. Although but ten years old. she
led all the way in the 25-yard race for
girls, swimming the distance with a
beautiful rapid stroke, in just 40 sec
onds. She got a pretty bathing suit
as a prize.
The tiny mermaid was equally suc
cessful in the diving stunts, judges and
spectators alike deciding that she was
easily the most graceful and skillful.
She executed a few figures that were
calculated to make Annette herself
vainly envious had she seen them. Lit
tle Mabel Murphy and Dorothy Clem
ent also showed remarkable speed tn
the swimming event, coming in second
and third in a large list of entries and
in the fancy diving event Miss Frances
Smith won a good share of applause
and second honors.
A large crowd of holiday merry
makers witnessed the contests, among
the most interesting ever held at Pied
mont park.
Swims Mile in 47 Minute®.
The program was arranged by Cap
tain B. H. Schlomberg. of the United
States Volunteer Life Saving corps,
and the participants all are members
of the corps.
Tim 100-yard swimming event devel
oped considerable excitement and T.
Walthour, who is a relative of the fa
mous bicycle rider, Bobby Walthour,
came out the winner, making the dis
tance in two minutes flat. A lieuten
ancy in the corps was bis reward. R.
S. Sims came In second.
In the one-mile race —and It takes
considerable strength and nerve to
swim a mile in fresh water —J. H. Lit
tlefield won in 47 minutes, capturing a
silver cup and a first lieutenancy. A.
C. Cowles was second. Gilbert Fraser
won the 25-yard event for boys under

GIRL IS MISSING,
FMELDPEMENT
‘ Pretty Frances Humphrey (16)
Not in Her Room When
Watchful Parent Calls.
Every night for many wveks the
mother of pretty Frances Humphrey
70 Barnett street, has gone to her
daughter's room before midnight to see
if Frances were there. Last night the
expected happened—Fritnecs disap
peared. and the window told how she
had left the house. Then her father.
Robert Humphrey, telephoned the po
lice to find Frances if they could and
send her back home. But they haven't
seen her yet.
It would be too late, anyway, th"
neighbors said today, for Frances prob
ably is married by this time. A younr
man had been paying court Jo Mis'
Humphrey a long time. Her parent?
didn’t like it, for Frances is only six
teen, and that’s far too young to mar
ry, the older folks think.
The young couple were seen *n <
trolley car near the Humphrey hoiy
yesterday afternoon, but Mis« Hum
phrey returned at supper time. Ma.' i?
the plans for the elopement were made
on that trolley ride. But be that as ii
may. Frances went to her room la, i
night and afterward it was just like the
bad little girl that Orphan Annie toll!
about:
"And when they went to look for her
she wasn't there at all.”
At any rate, that's what the. polii-•
were told today.
