Pastor Denounces
Cleghorn in Sermon.
Rev. • ’ Davison, pastor of the
First Baptist church of Ashburn, in a
sermon to a large congregation feeling
ly referred to the tragedy, and sounded
a warning to parents to safeguard their
girls from the perils of the times.
From the subject, "Our Rock tlie
Christ." he eloquently pleaded for
Christian influences in the home to
combat the forces that menace young
womanhood. "The Rock typifies
strength and power,” said the minister,
"and the deplorable affair that lias hap
pened in our county cries out to ns
more forcibly than mere human words
■can express for the supreme need of
this Rock in our homes, and in uiir
every-day life.

man sought protection of the Rock she
would have had about her frail being i
shield that no man could bavi pene
trated, no matter with what pleasing,
sugar-coated influences the devil might
have tempted her.
"Had Tan <'leghorn been on the Rock
he would never have allowed tempta
tion to cause him to besmirch the puri
ty and wreck the life of a young girl
and bring a cloud of shame and sorrow
on the good name of a family foreve:.
“For a cloud now hangs over a little
country hmm out here that can never
be removed. This awful tragedy should
be a warning to others. No home Is
safe from the invasion of the evil one.
and fathers and mothers should place
their feet squarely on the Hock, tin 1

INSURANCE EM
IS UPHELD BE
FELDER
Constitutional, Says Attorney
General to Governor Brown,
Who Will Sign Warrants.
Attorney General Thomas S. Felder'
has rendered an opinion to Governor
Brown upholding the constitutionality
of the new insurance law in both points
cited to his attention by the governor.
The governor will accept the opinion
of the attorney general and sign the
warrants for salaries and expenses of
the department, which have been held
up for more than thirty* days, await
ing the official opinion of the state’s
legal advisor.
The constitutionality of the new law
must now be attacked in the courts, if
anywhere, as the insurance depart
ment will proceed upon the theory that
the law Is all right fundamentally.
Two Points Disputed.
The constitutionality of the new law
bad been questioned before the gov
ernor 011 two points—-first, that it vio
lated the section of the constitution
limiting to $3,000 the expenses of the
department, and that it violated an
other section in permitting fees to cer
tain officers effected.
Attorney General Felder holds that
in neither particular is the new law
violative of the constitution.
This decision will relieve the insur
ance department of great embarrass
ment in the matter of operating the new
department, and all past due salaries
will now be paid up at once.
Governor Brbwn is greatly pleased
that the attorney general has found the
new law to be organically sound.
ITALIAN HUNTING PAY
CAR ALARMS TAFT’S
HUSKY BODYGUARDS
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—President
Taft, accompanied by three members
of the Yale corporation, Carmi Thomp
son, his secretary, and Major Rhoades,
his military aide, left here at 8:03 today'
for New Haven. Conn., to attend a
meeting of the Yale corporation and be
the g-uest at a luncheon.
Secret service men guarding Presi
dent Taft had a few anxious moments
just before the president left for New
Haven. An Italian in some unknown
way gained access to the train plat
form, brushed past the officers and
tried to mount the platform of the
president's private car "The Colum
bia.” Secret Service Agent Sloan, the
president's bodyguard, and Detectives
Mahoney and Deiteh seized the man,
dragged him back to the platform, and
when no weapons were found upon him
they hustled him outside the gates. The
Italian tried to re-enter, but was push
ed back. Through the interpreter, it
was learned that the man thought the
president's ear was the New York Cen
tral pay car. He produced a brass pay
check and disappeared in the direction
of the pay car. which whs pointed out
to him.
CITY OFFICIALS ARE
SCORED BY PASTOR;
“GOVERNMENT LAX’’
Declaring that rhe people are disgusted
with Atlanta’s government, Rev. E. Dean
Ellenwood, pastor of the First t'niversal
ist church, "strongly criticised the city
officials for many of their acts in a ser
mon last night.
"They seem to proceed on a general
happy-go-lucky program," he said. "The
conditions of the sewers continuously
threaten us with a typhoid epidemic.
The system of penology is bewildering.
There Is a lack of provision for the care
of persons suffering with tuberculosis.
Our transportation facilities after the
‘curfew hour' would make a visitor think
Atlanta a town of a few thousand per
sons.
"The city officials cry that we lack suf
ficient revenue. The tax books will show
that central property the value of which
has been created by the people generally
is rarely assessed at more than 40 per
cent of its value, and often as low as 25
per cent."

WOMEN SEEK HEALTH
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—“ Greater re
gard for her health is gradually chang
ing woman's fashions," said Dr. Rich
ard R. Smith, widely known as tin
authority on the human figure. "When
woman ceases to follow the prevail
ing fashion and adopts a fashion suited
to her peculiar figure, then we shall
have reached an ideal state. Woman
has entered upon such an evolution
now. because she is beginning to seek
perfect health, and the splendid type
of beauty that only perfect health can
give.
Dr. Smith optimistically- declared that
women, in giving greater consideration
to matters of health, were rising to
ward a zenith of the most perfect race
of women the world has known.
In his medical work, wherein he has
persistently advocated a stronger
womanhood, a vigorous type as opposed
to the frail, slim-waisted creature of
the past century, Dr. Smith has, in
treating a large number of women,
taken the measurements and made
X-ray examinations of more than 400.
"To be -sure, the early Greek women
fashions showed a variety of styles,
but the soft lines and the loose flowing
robes and graceful draperies were much
the same,” said he. "Some show a high
waist line, while in others tlie waist line
was longer and lower, according to the
woman’s figure.
"I am sure the early- Greek women
put health before fashion. When our
American women follow this example,
which they are beginning to do, we
shall have a superior race.
Slaves of Fashion Cited.
"Women have followed fashion al
most religiously. "If the prevailing
style calls for small waist and slender
figure, both fat and slim women try to
meet it, regardless of the injury to
their health and general appearance.
“I am not so sure but that there were
just as many frail women among the
ancient Greeks as we have today. Ve
nus DeMilo is an idealized type. We
have scores of American women who
have nearly- perfect figures. A perfect
human being never existed, I believe,
and never will, to my mind.
“As opposed to the passing type, the
small-waisted, scrawny, sharp-angled,
frail, narrow-chested and nervous
woman, at the bottom of the physical
ladder, we have the rapidly increasing
number of splendid deep-chested, vig
orous women at the top of the ladder.”
Dr. Smith said he w-ould advice wom
en who wish to improve their health to
quit health fads.
“Fix for yourself good, normal hab
its. habits in keeping as far as possible
4 SUSPECTED OF
KILLING FARMER
JONESBORO, GA., Nov. 18.—Will
Edwards, Walton Henderson, Will Lee
and Demmie Lee are today held in the
Clayton county jail here under suspi
cion of causing- the death of John King,
a farmer, about 50 years of age, whose
charred body was found in the ruins of
an out-house that burned late Satur
day- night near the school building at
Orr's Crossing, a small station on the
Central of Georgia railroad, three miles
south of Jonesboro. The theory of offi
cers is l that King was killed in a row
over .a card game and his body was
placed in the put-house, which was
tired to conceal the crime.
Persons attracted by the fire discov
ered a human body in the burning em
bers. The body was almost consumed
and was beyond recognition. But by a
knife and brass lamp found with the
body, It was identified as that of King,
who lived about half a mile from the
place and who had left his home a few
hours before.
Indications were that the building
been set on fire, and from the al
most consumed state of the body, evi
dently more fuel had been added to the
tire than that of the frail out-house.
Chief Rowan On Trail.
Early yesterday morning Chief Zach
Rowan, of the Fulton county police,
accompanied by a squad of his men
and bloodhounds, was on the scene.
The dogs and men were soon on the
trail. The tracks of men leading from
the burned building were easily fol
lowed. and resulted in the arrest of the
four white men.
The two Lee boys are brothers and
they and Edwards live near Rhe scene
of the fire. Henderson lives in another
part of this county, but is said to hawe
been on a visit to the Lee boys.
Coroner P. H. Camp promptly held
an inquest, probing the matter nearly
all of yesterday' afternoon, and ad
journed to meet again this afternoon.
The theory is that the dead man and
the lour under arrest, and possibly
others, were engaged In gambling, a
quarrel arose, King was killed and his
body burned in the building. There are
indications that his squll was crushed.
King leaves a family,

"For people in moderate circum

Referring to women of 50 who have

Smith said:

EGG PRICES SOAR:
WWW
Prices of eggs are higher in Atlanta
today than they have been in a year, ac
cording to commission brokers. The
wholesale houses are quoting them at
from 33 cents to 35 cents a dozen for the
best No. 1 candled country eggs. The
retail stores are selling them at from
35 cents to 37 cents a dozen, and only a
few are available.
The dealer can not get halt the amount
he desires. It is said the scarcity for
this important article of food Is due to
the excessive wet weather during the
early spring months, which killed out a
large portion of the stock.
Dealers say they anticipate still highei
prices by Thanksgiving, as the supply
shows no increase and the requirement
that will exist during the approaching hol
idays will advance the market approxi
mately 5 cents to 10 cents a dozen.
The housewife will have to pay fabu
lous prices in order to have a Thanks
giving turkey. The market is active and
today prices for dressed turkey, with head
and feet drawn, are being quoted ut
cents per pound. Live turkeys are selling
at 22pi cents a pound. The heavy de
mand, combined with the shortage in iin
crop, will cause an advancing market in

Cranberries are fewer this year than
they have been in years anil are selling
