t<> Smith, »hi* Fays, she was living
with her parents on a farm near Lit-
Grange. Smith is a farmer, living
about I’ miles from La Li range, re
puted to bo very wealthy.
“He began paying me attentions
in December,” she said this morning
“On December 4 I accidentally shot
myself in the shoulder while clean
ing a gun. and was In bed for more
than two weeks.
"It was while I was sick that the
old pest began hanging around me.
My grandfather encouraged him and
wanted me to marry him. I told
grandfather 1 hated him. ami every
time 1 saw him I was sicker than I
was before. He kept coming and fin
ally I had to ask the doctor to keep
him out of the room. Then he would
write me notes and slip them in by
the nurse. The old fool!
"When r got well he kept hanging
around. Everywhere I went Smith
would show up and torment me near
ly to death. My grandfather kept
asking me to marry him. and threat
ened me if I didn’t.
Said She Wouldn’t Wed Him.
“I told him and told Smith that
I would never marry him. because I
would marry any man I didn’t love.
Then Smith let me alone for almost
a week.
“On January 23 my grandfather
asked me to go with him to LaUrange
to do some shopping, and l went with
him. I didn’t know what he was go
ing to do. He took me to the court
house, and there was Smith, hanging
around. He put his hand on my shoul
der and leered at me, and 1 screamed.
Then he left.
“My grandfather and 1 then went
downtown, but in half an hour he
said he had some more business at
the court house, and 1 went back with
him. He took me into the court room
through a .side entrance, and there
were three or four hundred men in
there and a man they called judge.
My grandfather filled out some pa
pers. and then told me 1 had to mar
ry Smith and that now was the best
time to do it. I screamed and tried
to get away, but the men grabbed
me and held me.
Alleged Forced Marriage.
“They made me stand up by the
side of old Smith, who grinned at me
until I felt sick. Then the man they
called judge began asking a lot of
questions. He asked me if I would
love and cherish Smith, and ! yelled
‘no’ as loud as I could. Then he
went right on and I heard him ask
Smith if he would love in . And the
old fool said yes.
“Then the judge asked me if I
would stay with Smith during illness,
and I yelled ‘no’ again, and told the
judge 1 didn’t want to marry that
man. because I didn’t love him. They
paid no attention to me.
"My grandfather made me stand
up by Smith. Pretty soon I heard the
judge say something about man and
wife, and grandfather and Smith led
me away Smith wanted to kiss me,
and I slapped his fa« e. The men in
the court room laughed at me when
l cried.”
Left Him After Two Days.
“I' didn’t want to live with Smith.”
ehe continued, “but grandfather mad
me go home with him. For two nights
I sat in a chair, with my clothes on
crying, and Smith hung around trying
to get me to say I loved him and was
happy. I didn’t sleep during the two
days and nights. Smith was always
around, and I was afraid to close my
eyes. Once I tried it and he tried t’.>
take off my shoes.
“I stood it for two days and then 1
left him I went back to mamma, ana
the old thing followed me. I . ame to
Atlanta and tried to dodge him. but
‘everywhere I went he ehowerl up."

go into netails, but is only intended
to set forth the main proposition
namely, that the President desires to
enter into an agreement with each
nation severally for the investigation
of all questions whatever.
“This agreement is intended to
supplement any arbitration treaty
now in existence or any made here
after. Arbitration treaties always
except seme question from arbitra
tion. The proposal by the President
is intended to close the gap and leave
no dispute that can become a cause
of war.
“The form in which the report u
to be made Is left to be agreed upor.
and it may be that the time will differ
in different cases, but any time, how
ever short, furnishes an opportunity
to investigate and deliberate, and it
Is hoped the time for investigation
and deliberation will be sufficient to
secure a settlement without a resort
to war.
“It will be noticed that each party
retains the right to act independ
ently after the report is submitted
! t it is not likely a nation will de
clare war after it has had oppor I
tunity during investigation to confer |
with the opposing nation. But
whether this proposed agreement ac
complished as much as it is hoped for
it is at least a step in the direction
of universal peace.”
