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.

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.

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 of sour bile, foul gases and clogged-up waste. All those days when you feel miser able, headachy, bilious and dull are due 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 stipation. Take a teaspoonful of Syrup of Figs tonight, sure, and just see for yourself, by morning, how gently but thoroughly all the sour bile, undigested fermenting CHILDREN ASK COURT TO DECLARE FATHER TO BE LEGALLY DEAD SPARTANBURG, S. C., Oct. 28.—Thir teen years ago, Rev. W. P. Wolfe, a prominent Baptist minister of thia city, left for Asheville. Since that day no word has come from him to his four children. Charles P. Wofford, an attorney, has brought action, seeking to have the courts 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 turn, however, he would not be permit ted to regain his property. The value of the property, which is situated on a street named in honor of Rev. Mr. Wolfe, is ap proximately $5,000. food and clogged up waste matter is moved on and out of your system—no nausea—no griping—no weakness. You simply ean’t have your liver in active and your thirty feet of bowels constipated witli sour, decaying waste matter and fee! well. The need of a laxative is a natural need, but with de licious S.vrup of Figs you are not drug ging yourself. Being composed entirely of luscious figs, senna and aromatics, it can not injure. Ask your druggist for the full name. "Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Serbia." Refuse with scorn any of the so-called Fig Syrup imitations. They are meant to deceive you Look on the label. The genuine, old reliable bears the name, California Fig Syrup Company. (Advt.j 7
