GOVERNOR
Mrs. Flanders’ Trial Is Again
Postponed—Physician's Ex
ecution Seems Unlikely.
Notwithstanding the fact that Gov
ernor Brown has given out the positive
assurance that he will not permit Dr.
W. J. McNaughton, of Swainsboro, in
dicted jointly two years ago In Eman
uel county with Mrs. Fred Flanders for
the murder, by arsenic poisoning, of
Fred Flanders, to hang before Mrs.
Flanders is tried, and notwithstanding
the further fact that Mrs. Flanders
never has been tried, her case again
has been continued for the term in
Emanuel county and she seemingly is
as far from a trial as ever.
Moreover, it is being openly stated in
Emanuel county, so the governor has
been informed, that the state never in
tends to bring Mrs. Flanders to trial,
and that the case against her likely will
be nolle prossed.
If the case against Mrs. Flanders is
given that direction, the question will
then be presented to the governor of
receding from his position with refer
ence to the hanging of Dr. McNaughton
before the trial of Mrs. Flanders, or of
taking up the question of commutation
of the doctor's sentence, if not his ac
tual pardon.
Delay Seems Indefinite.
When the statement was given out
that McNaughton should not hang be
fore Mrs. Flanders’ trial it was the
Impression of the governor and the
prison commission that the trial of Mrs.
Flanders was to be entered Into at
once. It now seems that such inten
tion. if it ever existed, has been re
versed completely.
It is a practical certainty that the
prison commission will recommend to
the governor at least commutation to
life for Dr. McNaughton, if the ca.se
against the Flanders woman is dropped,
and there is a possibility that the com
mission may recommend an absolute
pardon.
The evident reluctance to try Mrs.
Flanders, existing and continuing ever
since she was Indicted originally and
Jointly with McNaughton, for the mur
der of Fred Flanders, has given rise to
the suspicion that there must be some
powerful reason for not wanting her
tried before the doctor is hanged.
Might Clear Doctor.
Attorneys for McNaughton do not
hesitate to say thal the real reason
Mrs. Flanders is not tried is because
her case undoubtedly would tend to
clear McNaughton, and the persistent
disinclination to try the woman has set
up a situation, particularly in view of
the governor’s attitude, that not only Is
unique, but thrillingly interesting.
If the question of hanging Dr. Mc-
Naughton Anally comes to the governor
for decision and the ca.se against Mrs.
Flanders has been nolle prossed and
dropped In the meantime, there is not a
. chance in a thousand that Dr. Mc-
Naughton will hang.
The doctor is now under sentence to
hang on November 22.

The Handkerchiefs From Across the Seas
Have Come
The other day the word was passed around the store that
the handkerchiefs had arrived. It was spoken of as a bit of news
interesting to others than those immediately concerned with the
handkerchief stock. For the arrival of the handkerchiefs at this
season has come to be known as an event,
All want to see them—and this in a store where new things
come in daily, and this about handkerchiefs, little pieces of
white linen. Surely there must be something exceptional about
them to create such interest.
There is.
You will see it in the embroidering, in the quality of linen,
in the wonderful variety, in the prices.
Never has such a stock of handkerchiefs been brought to
Atlanta—because never have such efforts been expended on
bringing such a stock to Atlanta. We could have bought with
less worry—and more money—from the importing houses of
New York-—but we did not. We went directly to those to whom
the importing houses go and were thus enabled to clip prices, to
raise values. .
But how and why it happens that this handkerchief stock
is what it is, is neither here nor there to you. Results <re what
you want and results you shall have—here.
We want you to see the handkerchiefs, to make compari
sons, to justify in your own mind the claims that we are confi
dent enough to make. You can spend a pleasant half hour
among them; do so now, it will be a profitable half hour.
Some of the unusual values are at these prices.
Women’s Hand Embroidered in new patterns at 15c,
25c, 50c and 75c.
Initial Handkerchiefs worked in new ways, at 25c and 50c.
Glove Handkerchiefs, with Madeira embroidery, at 25c and 50c.
Novel little Glove Handkerchiefs with colored borders and hand
embroidery, at 25c.
Men’s all linen Handkerchiefs, and full size, at 10c.
Men’s all line Handkerchiefs, soft bleach, six in box, for SI.OO.
