STRESS IN HUGE
DEFIES PREACHER
Vaudeville Girl Refuses to Al
low Men and Religion Lead
ers to Aid Her.
Vivian Faulkenberry, a 17-year-old
va j,- v ille actress, whose home is at
j;:, East Hunter street, was the star in
a dramatic scene at the police station
when she defied Recorder Broyles
i n open court and later became so hos
|jiP toward Rev. G. R. Buford, one of
„e Men and Religion Leaders, that
Special Court Officer Ed Arthur had to
interfere to prevent her attacking the
minister.
The outbreak came when Judge
F . rO y i PB ordered the girl turned over to
the Men and Religion movement in the
ho ( .< that she might be reclaimed and a
good position obtained for her. She had
been taken into custody at the instiga
tion of her mother, Mrs. J. J. Faulken
berr' who informed the recorder that
•he is unable to control her and that
the girl had been very abusive to her.
The girl, denying her mother’s
charges, flew- into a rage in the ma
tron’s ward when Mr. Buford, sum
moned by Matron Bohnefeld, arrived to
take her in charge.
Minister Is Defied.
"I won’t go with you or anybody else.
I've done nothing to be locked up for.
and I won’t budge one step,” fairly
acreamed the girl.
Til serve thirty days in the stock
ade before I’ll let you do anything for
nje.” she added, as she stamped a slip
pered foot vigorously on the floor.
When the words of the minister and
the matron failed to move the girl, she
was again haled before the recbrder.
Then oame another storm.
•Judge Broyles, give me thirty days.
Bl males the time just like a little
l#dy,” defiantly exclaimed the actress.
»« she set her arms akimbo and as her
piercing eyes flashed indignation.
The court tried to reason with the
girl and persuade her that the court
and the Men and Religion movement
were merely trying to aid her, that they
didn’t want to place her in the stock
ade But It was all to no aval.
Matron Summon* Officer.
Tv# done nothing, and I don't in
tend to permit anybody to do anything
tor me. I can attend to my own af
she rejoined.
Judge Broyles then sent her back into
the matron’s ward, and Mr. Buford
again sought to prevail on her to
change her mind.
The girl, instead of heeding, again
went on a rampage, defying the minis
ter, and becoming so threatening in her
manner that Mrs. Bohnefeld sum
moned Officer Arthur to prevent an out
burst of violence.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ‘
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
Nobody lias anything whatever on
Henry S. Jackson in the matter of po
litical optimism nowadays.
He can go out-
I < Wi
doors any old
time, look in any
old direction and
see. with half an
eye, as long and
promising rain
bows as the next
person, and at
tached to the ends
thereof will be
found quite as
many bags of
gold.
Besides that, he
is mighty persua
sive in the gentle
art of making in
nocent bystanders
see them, too.
Mr. Jackson. b> jtevdj
who is representing Mr. Taft in his
campaign for the electoral vote of
Georgia, does not claim that the presi
dent will carry Georgia. He has hopes
In that direction, but he frankly ad
mits that they may be doomed to fail
ure.
He does say, however, and with great
confidence, that Mr. Taft will receive
a surprisingly large vote in Georgia—
giving it as his deliberate opinion, in
fact, that the president’s vote will far
exceed the vote accorded Mr. Roose
velt.
“We have been waging a clean, com
mon. sense campaign in this state,”
said Mr. Jackson, discussing the out
look today, “and we are assured of fine
results. We are working compactly and
aggressively for the president, whom
we sincerely believe to be entitled to
re-election. There is no division in our
ranks.
“We are appealing to the business
men for support—appealing to them in
telligently, and not frantically. We
have systematically distributed dispas
sionate and convincing campaign lit
erature. We are making a sane fight—
wb are invoking neither prejudice nor
factionalism.
“Taft will round up a magnificent
vote in Georgia—mark my prediction.
Our work is proceeding with regulari
ty and effectiveness.
"I wish to say this, too: The regular
Republicans in. Georgia never have in
tended voting anything but a regular,
legal ticket. While Democrats and
near-Republleans have been amusing
one another talking of ‘pink’ tickets to
catch traitors, we have been having our
tickets printed—and they are all on
white paper, and after the approved
fashion.
“We are indulging in no claptrap or
fantastical schemes—we are working
along sensible lines, and we shall make
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
k a showing of which the president will
be immensely proud.”
Mr. Jackson spends more than two
hours of every day in the Taft Georgia
campaign headquarters, where be lends
a hand to all sorts of campaign work.
He is enthusiastic and altogether sin
cere in his support of the president.
“Mrs. Brown succeeded in getting me
Saturday afternoon where the politi
cians—some of them, anyway—have
been trying unsuccessfully for mhny
days to get me." said Governor Brown
today, "and that was up a tree!
“You see," continued the executive,
"we have about 40 pecan trees on our
little farm in Cobb county, and Mrs.
Brown insisted on my climbing one of
those trees Saturday and getting her
some samples of the fruit thereof.
"The woman tempted me. and so I
climbed —I was not altogether unlike
'Br’er Rabbit’ In that M was ‘jis.t
bleeged to climb,' in the circumstances!
“Well, it wasn't a particularly tall
tree, and I didn’t have to lower the
executive dignity to any great extent,
and this is a part of what I got!"
And then the governor displayed a
hundred or more of as fine papershell
pecans as ever graced a fruit stand at
Christmas time, and said there were
plenty more where they came from.
The governor, as an experiment, set
out some 40 pecan trees on his farm
near Marietta about ten years ago, and
the experiment has proved to be a great
success.
The pecans he brought to Atlanta
and the executive office are bountiful
specimens—large, meaty and of splen
did flavor. ,
The governor says he has no doubt
whatever that the cultivation of pecans
on a large scale in north Georgia could
be made most profitable.
Former Commissioner of Agiicultiite
Thomas G. Hudson, for a time a can
didate fflr governor, has his ideas about
politics. ,
He knows that the game is for on-’
thing, not all beer and skittles what
ever that is—nor yet is it universally
guaranteed to be sunshine and roses,
from start to finish.
Mr. Hudson was reared on a farm,
and only took up politics as a side line
once upon a time, albeit he. has man
aged to get away with It handsomely,
as a rule
Nowadays, however, Hudson's mind
turns back to his first loye, and in
farming, not politics,'he sees anew the
glory and the salvation of his native
state.
Talking recently in Savannah, for
the benefit of the press of that city,
he said:
“If the people of Georgia would
devote more attention to raising
the $250,000,000 worth of farm
products they send outside of the
state for each year, it would do
a lot more good than all the politi
cal authorities we hear about."
.j lot of people agree with Mr. Hud
son, too —even if the game of polities
will go right along as strenuously as
ever
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, OCTOBER 28. 1912
SAYS CDNNERAT
RACED 10 DEATH
Locomotive Driver Declares He
Gave Motorist Ample Warn
ing Before Crash Came.
The body of R. Vincent Connerat,
who was killed by a fast passenger train
on the Central of Georgia railroad yes
terday afternoon, a few miles north of
j Jonesboro, lies at the undertaking es-
I t abiishmeiyt of Barclay A- Brandon to
ll day , and Mr. Connerat's father and
| brother are hurry ing from Savannah tc
Atlanta to take charge of the funeral
arrangement*. The body probably will
be sent tffSavannah for interment. At
lanta automobile dealers will meet to
day and appoint an escort of honor for
the man who was among the most
prominent figures in the local motor
colony.
Car Knocked Sixty Feet.
Mr. Connerat was driving his little
gray’ roadster down the splendid road,
which parallels the Central track from
Jonesboro toward Atlanta. On the rails
behind him came the fast train, thun
dering toward the city. Just ahead the
dirt road turned sharply to the left and
crossed the track. The motorist evi
dently thought he could send his car
across the rails before the train could
reach the crossing, but he miscalculated
by a second.
The pilot struck the gray car be
tween front wheel and rear, lifted it
from the track and swept it sixty feet
Then the great locomotive climbed over
the battered wreck of the automobile
and ground it into splinters, with the
body of its driver underneath. When
the train was stopped, half a mile be
yond the crossing, the mutilated body
of Connerat was with difficulty torn
from the tangled wreckage of his car
There was no more widely known au
tomobile dealer in Atlanta than R. V.
Connerat. He was one of the pioneers
in the business, and under his direction
the Buick Company had built up an en
viable business in the South. He was a
fearless and speedy driver, as he had
proved on ail the important automobile
tours in Southern territory, but he was
known as a careful one, and accidents 1
were rare when he was at the wheel.
Those who know him say there must
have been some good reason for his at
tempting the race with the locomotive,
for it was his custom to cross the tracks
on low’ gear, and always to wait for
trains to pass.
Friends Identify Body.
L. S. Crane and Wylie West, two lo
cal automobile dealers and intimate
friends of Connerat, were driving to At
lanta over the same road, and were but
a mile or two behind the unfortunate
man. They came up just as the train
crew was extricating the wreckage, and
after a few moments they recognized
the bruised body as that of their friend,
-whom they had seen in his car but a
short time before. They telephoned the
news to Miss Anna Connerat, a sister,
who is a guest at her brother’s home,
No. 5 West Fourteenth street. The news
was kept from Mrs. Connerat as long
as possible. Joseph W. Hill and a few
other intimate friends went to the Ter
minal station to meet the body, which
had been brought to the city on the
train which had struck the car.
Engineer Saw Motorist.
Engineer T. B. Ragsdale, who was
running the train, said he saw Con
nerat just before the collision.
"He was driving at about fifty miles
an hour, and my engine was making at
least that, as it was down grade and
there was nothing ahead of me." said
the engineer. “1 saw the man in the
auto drawing ahead of me on the par
allel road, and 1 felt that he was racing
for the crossing. I whistled for the
crossing and then blew the cow signal.
When 1 saw him still running for the
crossing, I jammed on the brakes. If 1
had not. he would have struck nty en
gine broadside, near the drivers, and
would have seQt us from the track.
Only the great weight of the engine
held it on the track, as it was.”
Mr. Connerat left his home last week
and it was thought he was in Jackson
ville. He was accustomed to travel
everywhere in his car, and had been
visiting the Macon agent for his com
pany on his way back to Atlanta. Bob
Fagan, the Macon agent, said Mr. Con*
nerat was alone when he left Macon, it
was at first tjeported that another man
was seen in the ear just before the
crash, but no other body was found in
the wreckage. <
Pioneer Auto Man.
Mr. Connerat was 45 years old and a
native of Savannah, where he engaged
in the automobile business when mo
tors were in their infancy. He came to
Atlanta more than three years ago to
take charge of the Buick agency at that
time the third largest in the country.
He married Miss Catherine Hlllyer, a
daughter of Rev. John Hillyer, and they
had two children, aged four and two
years. He was a son of E. H. Connerat.
and a brother of William Connerat
both of Savannah. He was a member
of several clubs in both cities. He was
fond of outdoor sports, and at one time
was the champion bicycle rider of th*
South.
Alfred C. Newell, insutance man, de
clared today Mr. Connerat was tne
most careful of drivers and scouted the
theory that he was racing with the
train.

State Senator Howard B. Carlisle,
chairman of the legislative committee
named to probe into the affairs of the
old state dispensary, announced here
that lie had called a meeting of the
committee to be held Ui Columbia next
Thursday. As yet. however, 'no wit

impossible to state at this time what
testimony, if any, will be heard.

agency, and Thoma > B. Felder, the At

SURELY TAKE “SYRUP OF FIGS” IF
HEADACHY, BILIOUS, CONSTIPATED
Sweetens your stomach, clears your head and thorough
ly cleanses your liver and 30 feet of bowel

All those days when you feel miser

to torpid liver and sluggish bowels. The
days when your stomach is sour and
full of gas, when you have indigestion;
the nights when your nerves twitch
and you, are restless and can't sleep
could be avoided with a teaspoonful of
delicious Syrup of Figs. Isn t it foolish
to be distressed when there is such a
pleasant way to overcome it?
Give your inactive liver and ten yards
of waste-clogged bowels a thorough
cleansing this time. Put an end to con

by morning, how gently but thoroughly

teen years ago, Rev. W. P. Wolfe, a
prominent Baptist minister of thia city,

declare Rev. Mr. Wolfe legally dead, in
order that the children may dispose of
three lots and two buildings left by the
minister.
The law of this state is that after a
person has been away seven years, with
out word to his family the courts may
declare him legally dead. Should he re

the property, which is situated on a street
