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.

"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.

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.

HOHL IDITION 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE 5 a o y r« no DAISY HASN’T THE HEART TOHURT ANYONE —MRS. ULRICH Mrs. Grace’s Mother Says Wo man Good All Her Life Can’t Turn Bad in Minute. 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.
