Alexander. One of Its Authors,
Doubts That the House Will
Override Governor’s Veto.
SOME MEMBERS MAY BE
glad of new excuse
grown Has Given No Intima
tion of His Course—He Has
Five Days to Act.
Representative Hooper Alexander,
leader of the prohibition forces in the
house and chief spokesman in the leg
islature for the Tippins bill, expects
Governor Brown to veto that measure,
rnd doubts that it will pass the house
f.vrr the executive opposition.
Mr. Alexander has gone into the sit
uation v.ry carefully since the senate
passed the hill Wednesday, and has
found the line-up not very encouraging
font his point of view.
He has by no means given up the
fight, but he frankly acknowledges it
will he uphill work getting together a
vote adverse to the governor's veto, and
he Is candid in saying he "fears for the
worst.”
Discussing the matter today, Mr
Alexander said:
I doubt seriously that the Tippins
hill can weather the gale of executive
Imposition which seems headed in its
rii'.ection.

If He Is Wrong.

FLOGGED DAWSON GIRL
RECEIVES HUNDREDS OF
LETTERS OF SYMPATHY
MACON. GA., July 27.—Essie Carter,
the girl flogged at Dawson last Satur
day night by W. S. Dozier, has re
ceived during the week more than 300
sympathetic letters from many states
and her attorney is the recipient of al
most as many more. Many of them
inclosed copies of letters sent, it was
stated, to Mr. Dozier. Several of the
letters contained substantial checks to
be used in the prosecution.
Macon women have also taken an
interest in the girl to the extent of
sending her fruits, flowers and book-:,
while a number of ministers have called
upon her. The girl is still in a painful
condition, unable to walk, but is on the
road to recovery.
It has been decided by her lawyers to
both sue and prosecute the men who
participated in the flogging affair. Suits
for heavy damages will be brought in
the United States court, to be heard
before Judge Newman, of the Northern
district of Georgia, and the prosecu
tion will be instituted in the Dawson
superior court, provided the grand jury
returns indictments.
.Among the letters received by Essie
Carter no less than twenty were from
Dawson, where the affair took place,
and one was from Voght Dozier, the
young man about whom the whipping
occurred, because of his alleged infat
uation for the young woman.

Rev. W. W. Memminger Wants
Men to Feel at Home at
Parish Meetings.
"It's better to smoke here than
hereafter."
"The church should not be a bar
to fellowship."
"Men feel more at home when
they can smoke at will, and that's
the way 1 want the men to feel in
my church."
"I let the young men of my
church smoke while I preach the
gospel to them In the parish house,
and 1 smoke with them and en
courage them to talk about the
affairs of the church.”
"The day has gone by when the
church is rigid and cold to its
young. To embrace youth the
church must itself remain young."
"My club smokers to the young
men of All Saints will prove more
beneficial to the church than any
other one feature. I can reach men
through them that I could'reach in
no other way."—Rev. W. W. Mern
minger.
Rev. VV. W. Memminger, rector of
All Saints Episcopal church, announces
that club smokers to the young men of
his church will be held monthly In the
parish house.
The rector is a young man himself
and takes a [>eculiar interest in the
young men of the church. While in
college he, was a star player on the
baseball team and was well known as
a track man, He went to the Univer
sity of the South at Sewanee. Tenn.
Since leaving college he has kept his
physical self by constant boxing and
fencing.
Last spring he conceived the idea of
bidding smokers for the men of the
church and gave two of them. So suc
cessful was the plan that he has an
nounced that it will be a regular fea
ture, beginning this fall.
The rector and his vestrymen will at
tend the smokers and every young
man who is a member of the church,
or who feels an interest in It. is in
vited.
Tables will be placed in the parish
house with chaivs comfortably grouped
around them, and on the tables will be
plenty of the best cigars and cigarettes.
Fipes may be brought along by the men
who have a fondness of taking their
nicotine in this way.
One thing will be batted from the
smokers and that ts the discussion of
' money matters.
MOTHER Os GIRL
HORSEWS MAN
Rome Matron Objects to Per
sistent Attentions of Brack
Harless to Daughter.
ROME, GA., July 27.—Because he
persisted in whistling "Silver Threads
Among the Gold" in front of her home
to attract the attention of her daugh
ter, with whom he is in love, Mrs A.
P. McGinnis, a well known Fourth ward
matron, rushed out of her house and
gave Brack Harless a severe horse
whipping.
Harless met Miss Mary McGinnis in
January, 1910. She is pretty and win
some ana soon won the love of the
young man. Their love deepened in
spite of the objections of the girl’s par
ents. Several months ago he was for
bidden by Mr. 'tend Mrs. McGinnis to
enter their home.
This opposition on the part of the
parents did not discourage Harless and
he would meet bis sweetheart on street
corners, at stores and churches and fre
quenly she would slip out of her home
and meet him in response to his whistle
signal. The irate parents did every
thing In their power to break up the
courtship. They would hang up the
phone on the young man and even
threatened to have him arrested, it is
said.
As Harless was passing by the house
he started to whistling "Silver Threads
Among the Gold." A shout came from
the porch for Harless to move on. He
kept up the whistling. Mis. McGinnis
lushed to the st ret t and. with a hotse
whip, Heverelx lashed the young man.
She struck him 25 or more blows and
he bears the marks of part of them A
sister of his sweetheart hurled a stone
at him.
Harless was arraigned before the re
corder and fined $25 on the grounds
that the whistling was disorderly con
duct. He has appealed his ease. He
says that he was not to blame, and
that he intends to marry the girl de
spite her parents. Pretty Miss McGin
nis is of the same mood, and two hours
after Harless came out of the police
office she rushed up to him and offered
him her sympathy.

Mrs. Grace’s Mother Says Wo

AGED PARENT TO BE WITH
DAUGHTER THROUGH TRIAL
Declares Only the Law Can
Keep Her From Side of the
Accused Daughter.
Mrs. Martha Ulrich, mother of Mrs,
Daisy Grace, gave to The Georgian to
day a statement expressing her confi
dence in her daughter’s innocence of
any crime and her belief that Mrs.
Grace must surely be acquitted of the
charge against her. Mrs. Ulrich Is
spending the day with Mrs. Grace at
the home in West End, where the ac
cused woman has lived quietly since be.
ing admitted to bond. Her statement
follows:
By MRS. MARTHA ULRICH.
Ct course, my daughter is not
guilty. If I had known nothing of
the case and of Eugene Grace, I
would say that, because I know my
daughter—l know’ her every Im
pulse and tendency, and I know
that she could not have attempted
to take a life. The entire sugges
tion appeals to me as being impos
sible according to the laws of na
ture.
A woman who has been good all
her life can't turn in a minute.
Daisy w'as always kind and loving.
She hasn't it in her heart to hurt
anybody or anything. She's had
children and she has been a per
fect mother to the one child who
lived.
“Daisy Never Has
Deceived Her Mother.’’
If she had shot Gene. I would
have known it the moment I looked
at her. Daisy never deceived me
In her life—her nature ts now such
that she could not if she would.
When I looked into her eyes as she
came up the steps of our home in
Philadelphia I saw that she was in
nocent.
Then, there's the letter, which ts
certainly a substantiation of what
she told the officers. The letter was
written by her to me several days
before Eugene was shot. It told me
that Eugene was coming to Phila
delphia and named the exact hour.
1 can not say how he was shot. I
can not explain the mystery, but
I know In my heart that Daisy
could not be guilty. For that rea
son I know that the prosecuting at
torney could not possibly obtain
evidence which would lead a jury to
pronounce her guilty.
Just as 1 feel so do all of our
friends in Pennsylvania feel. They
know something of the real Daisy,
and they know' her utter incapacity
for anything smacking of violence,
deceit or treachery.
Mrs. Ulrich arrived late yesterday
almost exhausted by the long journey
from Philadelphia and anxiety to see
Mrs. Grace.
Mrs. i’lrlch was met by Attorney
John W. Moore and hurried through
the station to a waiting automobile.
I The meeting of mother and daughter
I was touching.
"it’s been so long, dearest—so long,”
exclaimed Mrs. Grace ar; she held her
mother to her.
The frail little woman came dressed
in a simple gown of black. A small
purse and a traveling bag were her
only hand baggage. On her breast she
wore a tiny Sunday school pin, given
i sot answering the roll call for 52 con-
I secutive Sundays.
Wanted to Tell What
She Thought of Grace.
In the automobile, the trio—Mrs, Ul
! rich Mr. Grace and Mr. Moore—were
driven direct to the attorney’s offices
|ln the Peters builcllng. There Mrs.
I Ulrich's face showed the emotion she
I felt. In reply to a reporter's question
■ she would have talked of Eugene
Grace, but her daughter Interrupted
i her.
“Don't. mother," cautioned Mrs.
Grace, and the little woman sank on a
great couch In the private office. Nearly
t two hours were spent in the consult*-
