"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.” GIDEONS TO HOLD BIG RALLY PRELIMINARY TO NEXT CONVENTION • Atlanta camp, Gideons, is planning a big rally for tomorrow at 3 o’clock in the Piedmont convention hall, byway of preliminary to the opening of the national Gideon convention, which con venes here next week.

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. 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. 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 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.

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. NEED SLEUTH?

"I want a badge, and want to go to work right away,” he said, with stun ning frankness.
