Mitchel! Urges Progres sives to Rally to Roosevelt for Country’s Good. “The South needs Colonel Roosevelt much more than he needs it,” says W. N. Mitchell. Southern representative of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and a native Virginian, who is known as the “Original Roosevelt Man” in this sec tion. “With its smaller proportion of for eign-born population than any other section, the South,” says Mr. Mitchell, “is destined to become more represen tatively American than any other sec tion of the country, and what it needs for its material advancement is two strong parties, rather than one party divided into two factions. “After the Civil war, during the hor rible days of reconstruction, the carpet baggers and scalawags, using the name of the Republican party, made it an absolute necessity for the decent, law abiding element of the South to unite under one party, and through the Dem ocratic party they again placed the government in the hands of the people and established a sound system of gov ernment that has caused the inflow of outside capital and built up the South to what it is today. “Now that Colonel Roosevelt, cheat ed out of the nomination in his party, has called together the people for the establishment of a national party, the Progressive party of the people, the South should join with him and work for a new alignment of the old par ties. “This new party may not amount to anything in the Southern states this year,” continues Mr. Mitchell, "but in a few years it will become the strongest factor in the upbuilding of the South, and that is why I ask all representative Georgians, who have the advancement of the South at heart, to correspond with me and get together on this ques tion.” GIDEONS TO HOLD BIG RALLY PRELIMINARY TO NEXT CONVENTION Atlanta camp, Gideons, is planning a big rally for tomorrow at 3 o'clock in tlie Piedmont convention hall, byway of preliminary to the opening of the national Gideon convention, which con venes here next week.

GA.. July 20. —Dr. W. J, McNaughton, the Emanuel county physician, in jail in Savannah, and thrice sentenced to hang for the death of Fred Flanders, whom he is alleged to have given poison in medicine be cause of his love for the latter's wife, and whose last hope was supposed to be gone when the supreme court turn ed his case down, is still far from be ing a hanged man. The defense, for the second time, will take the case to the Federal courts, after the doctor is taken back to Swainsboro to be again resentenced to death. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, JUTA T 20. 1912. W ont W ed WithMa and Pa Present JUST BOUND TO ELOPE Because his prospective father-in law interrupted plans for a romantic marriage and demanded a “regular house wedding.” Charlie Hearn, 22 Moore street, who was to have been married Sunday morning to Miss Levy Coppage in the most unusual manner he and his friends possibly could think up, has joined the bride-elect in de claring they will not get married at all. The parents of Miss Coppage had not the slightest objection to Charlie—they merely balked at anything away from the regular order of things. Charlie and Miss Coppage had loved each other for many moons- "all of this life and aeons and aeons before,” as the man in the play said. Nothing was said to the parents about it. The couple, in fact, labored under the fond delusion that Papa Coppage and Mam ma Coppage were in total ignorance of the status quo. When Charlie reached that state of material prosperity where he could take unto himself a teammate, he didn’t go to Papa Coppage, as most young men would have done. No, indeed; he fan cied and half-hoped that Papa Cop page, like the stern father in the play, would object to him on account of his "wild and dissipated youth." Aha, an Elopement! Accordingly, he announced to his fiancee that they would elope. Miss Hearn fell into the plan Immediately— she had seen Paul Gilmore and Charles E. Blaney herself. She had also read a story once all bristling with caliphs, and rajahs, and scimitars, in which a fellow named Haroun Al Raschld did the bloody work, and she could recite backwards that far famed limerick— My good sword caries the casques of men; My tough lance thrusteth sure; My strength is as the strength of ten Because my heart is pure. If Charlie had the strength of ten — ten men, not ten dollars—and she was certain he did, she could quite under stand why he quailed at the sickening prose of getting married with mamma and papa and sister and brother, and brother’s best girl and the cat looking on. Sir Galahad wouldn’t have done it, nor any of H. A. Raschid’s proteges, either. Hit Upon a Nifty Plan. This being decided, the next ques tion for settlement was the manner in which the wedding would be performed. Charlie called in all his friends. Many suggestions were offered. Some said an aeroplane elopement was quite the vogue; others suggested getting mar ried while in bathing; on a street car, at Five Points, with the crowd looking on; on in automobile, with angry fa ther chamlpng behind on a motorcycle. It was finally resolved that the two would creep out of the house Sunday morning, go quietly to a preacher whom they knew and who had quite an ac ceptable imagination himself and leave the rest to him Then they all got together and drew up the following proclamation, which was sent to the newspapers for release Monday; WEDDING NOTICE. Coppage-Hearn. Miss Lecy Coppage and Mr. Char lie Hearn, together with Mr. Char lie McGriff, a friend to the run aways, and Miss Mozelle Hearn, sister to Mr. Charlie Hearn, arose quite early Sunday morning, July 21, 1912, making home folks believe they had taken a “Good Spell” and decided to go to Sunday school. Everything arranged, Miss Hearn went down to Miss Coppage’s home and appeared to help dress her for the occasion (Sunday school), and in the meantime the bridegroom and Mr. Charlie McGriff await them on the corner for the purpose of going to Sunday school. After the ceremony, performed by Rev. , of , they all went to the home of the bride and bridegroom, which had al ready been arranged for—all in the nick of time. Dan Cupid had fired the fatal shot. Alas! Mother hunt ed for their children, but all in vain. Now the question is, Who will break the news to mother? Pshaw! More Tough Luck! But the best laid plans of mice and men, according to a well known Scot whose name is frequently seen on ci gar boxes, “gang aft aglee.” Mr. and Mrs. Coppage both heard all about what was going on and stepped in just at the wrong time. “Why an elopement?" asked Mr. Coppage. "I think’ you're a good boy, Charlie. Come on up to the house and we’ll send for a preacher and you can get emarried like you should. There’s no sense in running away when there’s no one to run away from." If it had been any one else but this couple, the marriage would have been held forthwith. But they are not made by the ordinary mold. Their hearts are Aeolian harps, which make music only when the winds of romance blew. “Nothing doing,” they told Papa Coppege. "If there’s no elopement there won’t be any marriage, not now.” So the marriage has been postponed —indefinitely, or at least until Papa Coppage learns something about Ha roun Al Raschid, Sir Galahad and Charles E. Blaney, NEW ROOF GARDEN OF ATLANTA CLUB TO BE OPENED TONIGHT The Atlanta club will blossom forth with a big roof garden annex tonight.

Brown, supposed to be an At lanta man and former member of the police force, is heir to $30,000 in Hong Kong, China, for saving the life of an English girl of the nobility on August 18, 1904, according to Information re ceived today from the Chinese city by Assistant Police Chief Jett. The assistant chief and Police Cap tain Terry are making an assiduous search for Brown, to convey to him the gladsome tidings. Hong Kong is ad vised that Brown was on the police force here in 1907, but no record of him can be found. At the police station It is thought possible that a mistake in names may have been made and that the lucky man may be Policeman Charlie Bran nan. Officer Brannan formerly was in the government service and was in Hong Kong. The $30,000 legacy is a part of the estate of Lord Rumford, who died re cently in China. It was his daughter whose life was saved by the Atlanta man in Hong Kong bay. Brown was in the government service at the time. According to the information, which comes from George H. Rumford, a rel ative of the dead nobleman, the Eng lish girl was on board a pleasure boat, which collided with a tug. She was hurled overboard and was about to drown when the Atlantan leaped into the water, swam to the struggling girl and took her to land safely. For this act of heroism Lord Rumford bestowed on the Atlantan the $30,000 legacy. If T. A. Brown will communicate with Chief Jett or Captain Terry he can get the $30,000. NEED SLEUTH?

BAG Taft Campaign Managers Have Offered the Party Treasurer ship in Vain. x , NEW YORK. July 20.—The Taft campaign managers are up against a hard and fast stumbling block in the selection of a campaign treasurer. The post has been tendered to several men so far, all of whom have declined on the ground that they could not spare the time that the arduous duties would exact. "This matter of time seems to be the chief trouble,” said Charles B. Rey nolds. secretary of the Republican na tional committee, at headquarters to day. “All of the men we had settled upon insisted that their private affairs could not spare the time that the treasurer ship would need. “The appointment of advisory and executive committee is also under ad visement, and appointments will not probably be made until the sub-com mittee meets in the fall. “We want a few thoroughly compe tent men on both of these, to whom the management of practically the entire campaign can be entrusted. "Although the sub-committee does not get together again until Monday, tlie members are in constant touch and in all likelihood several men entirely eligible to the treasurership will be sounded out before then.” POLITICS WARMING UP IN TEXAS; ONE IS DEAD, TWO WOUNDED SAN ANTONIO.
