His allegation that Mrs. Clare was under the hypnotic influence of t'olonel Colquitt when ehe filed the charges are scoffed. Hie statement that he took whiskj- only as a cure for asthma is laughed at She spiritedly reiterates her statement that he was drunk and attempted to approach her. In all her charges she Is vigorously and completely supported by Colquitt. Tn a signed statement he defends Mrs Clare's character and does not spare Winn's Here is Mrs. Care's statement in full: "Haying read the extraordinary rav jrtga tn your issue of Tuesday, ascribed to Major Thomas E. Winn. I can hardly credit them as coming from a rnan of ■discretion *1 preferred charges against Mr Winn on October 16 and presented them to 'the board of trueteea.' I regret that these charges were not acted on promptly I was invited to present them to the governor, some of the trus tees claiming that was the proper course The charges were drunkenness and assault. "Every word of these charges was supported by affidavits of reliable wit nesses and ‘the board' must convict Winn. Certainly any jury would. No Soldier at Home. "The charges that he says that he has preferred against me are absolutely un true No t'nlted States soldier from MeP’o'>ou barracks has ever been seen, so far ns I know, ‘nt the dead of night' at the Soldiers Home; certainly not at the hospital. No United States soldier has ever called on me either in the (lav or night. "As to my being ‘hypnotized’ byany |,t.,A it is too absurd to answer. Major* AV’r: knows every statement against my private character is untrue and if he has given to your journal such charges as you print, he is too low down, too contemptible for notice of decent people. "I have served st the horn* as nurse I for four years and have written in dorsement of th* old vote and of the board. Not one word of censure has ever been given to me by any official. Major Winn has never given me 'fa the ly advice.' and I h»ve always treat ed him as my duty required. No good or wise man would try »o recklessly to destroy the good name of a woman. I will prove every word of the stuff printed In The Georgian false. "MRS MACKIE CLARE.” Cells Winn Lothario. The statement of Colonel Colquitt is >in less fiery "Rest assured," says he. "that every charge against Winn is fully sustained by affidavits of the best men at the Roldlsrs Home Ho is very guilty and it is laatghable to read his statement in your paper. " 'Hypnotized by H. H. Colquitt- Winn's fatherly advice,'* while strug gling with the asthma cure. His very statement that the lady is no saint or angel and his anxiety to get near her proves that whisky for asthma will make a double-dyed ass of a young l»tharlo of 74 "Mr. Colquitt had not seen the lady in two weeks when Winn ‘scorned her' and was pulled away bv the superin tendent and put to bed drunk by the lieutenant at the home.” Interest in the controversy is run ning high at the Soldiers Home and it is said that the old veterans are taking sides for and against the accused truj- I tee. 3 JOY RIDERS INJURED WHEN RAILWAY MOTOR CAR HITS OBSTRUCTION VALDOSTA GA.

El Kus. chairma.n of the committee, vent an agent to London to purchase the ar ticles there, and he has just returned. The goods will be displayed at the va rious tariff exhibits in this and other cities. The comparative price list shows a startling discrepancy between prices in London and New York on articles of common use. Not a few of the ar ticles cost in N<w York at least twice the price charged in London. Every I one costs more in New York. "The price comparison is Instructive beyond our expectation,” declared Mr. Elkus. “It prove* that the high tariff simply means extortionate, prices to the American consumer all along the line.” The price for each article represents the same size, quality and brand for both London and New York. The representative of the committee also secured prices of clothing in Lon don. Prices of articles of aiimlar size and quality were also obtained in New York on a most conservative basis. The difference in cost in the two cities is startling. All the goods were standard Ameri can made.

LONDON. Oct. 23. Mme. Melba has brought back a new tenor singer with her from her Australian tour.

"One singer was an exceptionally tine tenor, and lie is now being especially trained, and* if my opinion counts for anything. London will hear and applaud him. as 1 heard and applauded him under such strange circumstances." During a performance at Melbourne the people in the galleries subscribed for a huge bouquet for Mme. Melba. It was lowered during an interval in the per formance from the gallery to the stage by means of a string Asked what was the most striking feature of her tour, Mme. Melba replied that it was the personal sacrifices made by many people to hear her. "I was told of many cases where people traveled the night through in order to reach the theater." she said. "One case in particular was that of an elderly woman who traveled from Thursday Is land to Sydney, a distance of 1.200 miles On reaching her goal she found that all the seats had been booked weeks ahead, but I am glad to say I was able to find her a seat.” TURKEY TROTTING KILLS WOMAN AT AGE OF 93 PITTSBURG.

Eugenie Blair in “Mad ame X” at Lyric. Chamberlin=Johnson=Dußose Co. ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS What May You Expect in the Ready=to= Wear Department? You may expect all the joy and pleasure that comes from the selecting of your suit, your dress, your coat, from literally hundreds of models. And to what woman is that not a joy and a pleasure--to be free to choose from stocks that allow her to select to a nicety the very suit, coat and dress that she would have? This applies not to any particular price, nor to several prices—it is general: the ready-to-wear department knows but one limitation, and that is that none but the best that any price can buy shall enter. Right now we might mention suits at $25, at $29.75 or $35, coats at $12.50 and $17.50, woolen dresses at $8 75 and $11.50, silk dresses at sls and $19.75, and truthfully pronounce them as remarkable values, for they are all that with a vengeance, but we would thus be minimizing the very point that all our efforts have been bent on effecting—that the whole ready-to-wear de partment this season brings to the women of Atlanta values that are paramount at every price. The belief that comes of seeing, however, is better than that of reading. So see. See the results of our buyer’s recent trip to New York. In the Suits, that have just come in—these of the cord ed woolens, the zibelines, the soft tone mixtures, the serges, often very plain as to trimming and very smart as to fashioning with the novel little vest effects and the elegant cutaway; others touched with severe black braids and others as rich as could be with rich Oriental trimmings. In the Coats, so full of warmth and good looks. They are usually shorter than those you are accustomed to and smarter in style and in materials—monotone coats in gray and tan, these of chinchilla, others showing big plaids faintly outlined, and others striking, bold, well-defined plaids in heavy Scotch coatings. In the Dresses of wool or of silk---Eponge is one of the favorites for street wear and eponge with velvet is one of the novelties of first importance—then there are the trim little tai lored dresses of Bedford cord, of whipcord and of serge that are distinctive because of the ways in which their yokes and collars are fashioned. Among the silks charmeuse and charmeuse with velvet dresses claim first attention and here is a splendid display of them in shades for street and evening wear. The ready-to-wear department has much to interest you!
