Ti PARTIES SIC
MEED OF SOUTH
W. N. Mitchell 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
j under one party, and through the Dem
ocratic *>arty 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 tffit people, the
South shoul*. 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.”

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
W ont Wed WithMaand 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
—she had seen Paul Gilmore and Charles
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 Raschid did
the bloody work, and she could recite
backwards that far famed limerick—
My good sword carves the casques of
men;
My r tough lance thrusteth sure;
My strength is as the strength of ten
Because my heart is pure.
If Charlie had the strength of ten
ton 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
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; or in an automobile, witn angry fa
ther champing 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 Levy 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 so 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!
Rut 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 married 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 blow.
"Nothing doing," they told Papa
Coppage. "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.

HEIH TO 330,000
FDR HEROIC ACT
Atlantan Who Saved Noblewo
man from Drowning in China
Left Rich Legacy.
T. A. Brown, supposed to ba an At
lanta man and former member of the
police force, Is heir to $30,009 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 ft 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' lie
can get the $30,000.

walked into the office of the chief of
police today, Introduced himself as Gor
don King, of Roopville, and asked to

county.
Accompanying his introduction, King

cial looking document. It was a diplo
ma from a correspondence detective
school in Kansas City, stamping the
Roopville youth as a real Sherlock. He
explained he had just been graduated,
after taking ten lessons by mail.
"I want a badge, and want to go to
work right away,” he said, with stun
ning frankness.
Chief Jett told the Roopville citizen
he recognized his detective ability, but
would be unable to put him on the de
tective force just now.
King was advised to try the Pinker
tons.

more than it really is. The case will
be heard September 11, and until that
time transactions in stock or any other
financial dealings are prohibited by the
court’s order.
