ACTRESS IN RAGE
defies w
Vaudeville Girl Refuses to Al
low Men and Religion Lead
ers to Aid Her.
ian Faulkenberry, a 17-Vear-old
r deville actress, whose home is at
East Hunter street, was the star in
dramatic scene at the police station
„ ia y when she defied Recorder Broyles
pen court and later became so hos
... toward Rev. G. R, Buford, one of
!P \fen and Religion Leaders, that
Social Court Officer Ed Arthur had to
-terfere to prevent her attacking the
minister.
Tne outbreak came when Judge
B ~yles ordered the girl turned over to
the Men and Religion movement in the
hope that she might be reclaimed and a
good position obtained for her. She had
been taken into custody at tYie instiga
tion of her mother. Mrs. J. J. Faulken
berry, who informed the recorder that
«he is unable to control her and that
the girl bad 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.
1 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
screamed the girl.
I’ll serve thirty days in the stock
ade before I’ll let you do anything for
me,” she added, as she stamped a slip
pered foot vigorously on the floor.
When the words of the minister and
♦he matron failed to move the girl, she
vac again haled before the recorder
Then came another storm.
"Judge Broyles, give me thirty days.
I’ll make the time just like a little
lady,” defiantly exclaimed the actress,
as 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
ads. But it was all to no aval.
Matron Summons Officer.
'Tv* done nothing, and I don't in
tend to permit anybody to do anything
for tne. I can attend to my own af
fairs,” she rejoined.
Judge Broyles then sent her back into
th* 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 has anything whatever on
Henry S. Jackson in the matter of po
litical optimism nowadays.

He can go out
doors any old
time, look In any
old direction and
see, with half an
eye, as long and

thereof will be

sive in the gentle
art of making in- '

Mr. J a c k s o n,
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
a surprisingly large vote in Georgia—
giving it as his deliberate opinion, in
that the president’s vote will far
exceed the vote recorded 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

we are invoking neither prejudice nor
factionalism.

Our work is proceeding with regulari

“I wish to say this, too: The regular

near-Republicans have been amusing
one another talking of ‘pink’ tickets to
catch traitors, we have I"--n having our
tickets printed—and th., are all on
white paper, and after the approved
fashion.
“We are indulging In no claptrap or
fantastical schemes —we are working

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 many'
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—l was not altogether unlike
‘Br'er Rabbit’ in that I was jist
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 expei intent has- proved to be a great
success. ~
The pecans lie 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 Agriculture
Thomas G. Hudson, for a time a can
didate for governor, has his Ideas about
politics.
He knows that the game is, for one
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 love, 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 mo’e 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.”
A lot of people agree with Mr. Hud
son, too —-even if the game of politics
will go right along as strenuously as
ever
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. OCTOBER 28. 1912.
SAYSCONNERAT
RACED TO 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
teidax afternoon, a few miles north of
Jonesboro, lies at the undertaking es-1
tablishment of Barclay A- Brandon to
day, and Mr. Connerat’s father and
brother are hurrying from Savannah to
Atlanta to take charge of the funeral
arrangements. The body probably will
be sent to Savannah 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 ear 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
tiie 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 an
tomoblle dealer in Atlanta than R. V.
Connerat. He was one of the pioneers
in the business, and under his direction
tlie Buick Company had built up an en
viable business in the South. He was a
fearless and speedy driver, as he had
proved on all the important automobile
tours in Southern territory, but he was
known as a careful one. and accidents
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 tw-o 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 ear 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- ;
mtnal station to meet the body, which |
had been brought to the city on the
irain 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, ami my engine was making at
least that, as it was down grade and
there was nothing ahead of me." said
tlie engineer. "I saw the man in tlie
auto drawing ahead of me on the par
allel road, and 1 felt that he w as racing
for the crossing. I whistled for the
crossing and then blew the cow signal.
When 1 saw him still running for the
crossing, 1 jammed on the brakes. If I*
had not. he would have struck my en
gine broadside, near the drivers, and
would have sent 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 bis ear, 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 reported that another man
was seen in the car 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 tlie 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 Hilly er. a
daughter of Rev. John Hillyer, ami 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 al one time
was the champion bicycle rider of thf
South.
Alfred C. Newell. iusu:ance man. de
clared today Mr. Connerat was tne
most careful of drivers and scouted the
theory that he was racing with the
train.

DISPENSARY PROBE

S. C. LEGISLATORS
SPARTANBURG, S. C„ Oct. 28.
State Senator Howard B. Carlisle,
chairman of the legislative committee
named to probe into the affairs of the
old state dispensary, announced here
that he had called a meeting of the
committee to be held in Columbia next
Thursday. As yet. however, no wit
nesses have been summoned and it is
impossible to state at this time what
testimony, if any. will be heard.
This is the investigation that brought
forth such startling revelations prior tc
the primary election in this state on
August 37. when testimony was intro
duced by detectives from the Burns
agency, and Thomas B Felder, the At
lanta attorney.

CHILDREN ASK COURT
TO DECLARE FATHER
TO BE LEGALLY DEAD
SPARTANBURG, S. Oct 28.—Thir
teen years ago, -Rev. W. P. Wolfe.. a
prominent Baptist minister of this city,
left for Asheville. Since that day- no word
has come from him to his four children.
Charles I’. 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 bls property. The value of
the property, which is situated on a street
named in honor of Rev. Mr. Wolfe, Is ap

moved on and out of your system—no

You simply can’t have your liver in
active and your thirty feet of bowels
constipated with sour, decaying waste
matter and feel well. The need of a
laxative is a natural need, but with de
licious Syrup of Figs you are not drug
ging yourself. Being composed entirely’
of luscious tigs, s«nna and aromatics, it
can not injure.
Ask your druggist for the full name.
