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 apd 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. and Mrs. McGinnis to
enter their,home.
This opposition on the part of the
parents did not discourage Harless and
he would meet his 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' fidbse
he started to whistling "Silver TbiYhds
Among the Gold." A shout cauijit£rpm
the porch for Harless to mbl/ai Ail. < he
kept up the whistling. Mrs.
rushed tt> the street and. with a horse
whip, severely lashed the young jtnan.
She struck him 25 or more blows and
he bears the marks of part of them. A
sister of his sweetheart hulled 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 case. 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.

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 I want the men to feel in
my church.”
“I let the young men of my
church smoke while 1 preach the
gospel to them tn 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. 1 can reach men
through them that I could reach In

One thing will be barred from the
smokers and that Is the discussion of
money matters.

pagne at his home on College street at
midnight, and until the darkness began
to fade in the eastern sky this morning

him with a drum and bugle corps and
automobile parade when he arrived last
night. He didn’t forget to treat the
drummer boys and buglers and chauf
feurs. They rubbed telbows with bank
presidents, lawyers and merchants
w’hen the time came to partake of the
sparkling and bubbling white liquid.
When it Was all over, everybody voted
Massee a prince of good fellows.

and bugle corpus. 30 automobiles loaded
with leading citizens and hundreds of
interested spectators pajticipated in a

very first train from Augusta, after
Governor Cole L. Blease, of South Caro
lina, late In the afternoon, at Aiken,
had revoked the extradition for his re
turn to Tennessee, following the tele
graphic withdrawal of the requisition
by Governor Ben W. Hooper, of Ten
nessee. Telegrams from Aiken and
Augusta had informed Macon friends of
the outcome of the affair and that Mr.
lessee and his Macon lawyers were
en route home. The drummers and
buglers and autos were assembled at
the depot when the train came in. Mr.
Massee was loaded into the biggest
car, at the head of the procession, and
then the home-coming parade was on.
It wound in and out of all the down
town business streets and into some of

How? By using only the best

go out when most needed —that's
a waste of coal; it burns uneven
ly, it is full of clinkers, there is
an enormous ash pile out of a

coal more expensive than higher

The best coal gives better satis
