She has kissed, hugged and embraced him continually. She liked to be kissed, hugged and embraced by her husband, and has at all times been affec tionate and kind to him. The Court reviewed the evidence which showed that Dr. Samarelli and his bride, who was known as "The Rose of Palermo,” went to Niagara Falls and Canada on their honey moon.

He said he had done these things because his bride was cold and in different. He said she shut herself in her mother’s apartment and re fused to greet him with affection.

A handsome marble monument t the memory len D. Candler, the “one-eyed plow boy of Pigeon Roost.” twice Chief Magistrate of Georgia, and thr times a Representative in Congress, is to be unveiled in Gainesville or. June 3, Jefferson Davis’s birthday. The stone will mark the late Gov ernor's last resting place, and will be paid for by about one hundred of his appointees to office when occu pying the executive chair of the State. The idea was conceived by Pension Commissioner Lindsey, and his appeal to the former office holders under "Uncle Allen” was responded to reiul- ily and gladly. The sum of $300 was quickly raised, and with this a modi st and fitting memorial will be secured —Just such as the late Governor him self would approve of. no doubt. It will be presented to Mrs. Candler on the birthday of the great Confederate chieftain, Davis, with simple and en tirely unostentatious ceremony. Governor Candler was one of tho best beloved of the long and distin guished line of Georgia Chief Magis trates. He was a Democrat of the old school, and first came into prom inence by defeating Judge Emory Speer, then an Independent Represen tative in the national Congress. It was during that fierce campaign th.it he came by the nickname that stuck to him ever thereafter—“the one-eyed plow hoy of Pigeon Roost!” This appellation was hurled at him In derision, but it acted as a boom erang upon those who launched it. It very greatly endeared him to the mas£*es of the plain people, with whom he ever was particularly strong in his public life. After serving three terms in Wash ington, Governor Candler was elected Secretary of State for Georgia and served in that office many years, until called to the Governorship. He was a plain, old-fashioned, outspoken sort .of person, rugged in his honesty and uncompromising in his high ideals. His portrait now adorns the wall of the Governor’s reception room in the slate capitol. This likeness, which is a fine one, shows in every line what manner of man he was. Allen D. Candler was one of the mo«t picturesque men who ever oc cupied the Governor's chair in Geor gia, and one of the most genuinely popular. He was the last of Geor gia’s ex-Confederate Executives. It is not generally known in At lanta, although it is a fact, that Dr. William M. Baird once was Speaker pf the House of Representatives in the New Jersey Legislature and served one term in the early 70s with credit and distinction. He was affiliated with the Democratic side. The doctor soon threw up politics, however, and took to medicine, which he found more interesting and suited to his tastes. He has lived in At lanta about 12 years. Representative-elect Charles A. Pie- quet, of Richmond County, has rented a home in Decatur for the summer session of the Legislature, and will motor to and from hb« Legislative duties in Atlatna every day. He will bring his familv through the country from Augusta to Atlanta in a big seven-passenger car anil ex pects to entertain considerably while sojourning in and near the capital. Says The Montgomery Monitor: “When a horse falls pick every pass ing man will suggest a sure-eur- remedy to the owner. Before Gov. John M. Slaton assumes the Gov ernmental reins of Georgia he will have advice enough offered to last through the two terms that will prob ably be given him.” The Governor-elect is most cour teous, kindly and considerate—those are reasons why he Is so well liked by everybody—byt, while he will lis ten patiently to much advice, he may be depended upon to accept such as pleases him and reject such as does not. He has a head of his own, all right! The Southern Railway has done th only fair and square thing that is to be done in the matter of comply ing with recently-enacted Georgia laws with reference to the abolition of the old-time general drinking cup used aboard trains, by deciding lo furnish hereafter all passengers with individual sanitary drinking cups, io be thrown away after use. The cups will be collapsible, made of oiled paper, and to be had merely for the asking. All conductors will be supplied at once with a full sup ply of these cups for use on the trains. It is expected that the other ro;uL operating in Georgia will follow the Southern’s lead In this matter. The law. which was perfected by the last Legislature, is very strict in Its clauses prohibiting the use of a gen eral drinking cup aboard trains. A compulsory education law will be offered in the Georgia Legislature when it assembles* in June. This matter has been proposed in the General Assembly more than once, but nothing so far has come of it. This time, however, the proposition is to be more aggressively urged than it has been heretofore, and there is thought to be a fair chance of tho pasfiage of some sort of law bearing on the subject. Heretofore, the attempted passage of child labor laws has more or less interfered with the passage of com pulsory education laws. It is realized that the latter will become an im mediate and absolute necessity, once satisfactory child labor laws are en acted, but it will be possible to paps more satisfactory and more intelli gent compulsory education laws, per haps, after the child labor laws are framed and approved. As both measures will be agitated in the next Legislature, it looks as if the two propositions may be com bined somewhere along the line, thus increasing the chances of success to both. ILL WOMAN ENDS HER LIFE. J ANDERSON, S. C\, April 29.—Be- • cause she was tired of life on ac- • count of prolonged ill health. Mrs. J. M.

Y Get In Line your Nickel “Billy the Kid” at Lyric. “Billy the Kid,” the real rapid-fire success of the cow country, never shot himself into favor quicker in the Pan handle than “Billy the Kid,” the Ly ric’s popular offering this week, did at that playhouse last night. Berkeley Ilaswcll, fair-haired and boyish, scored heavily as the young desperado, turned from a careless lad into a terror of the border country by the villainy of his father. In addition to showing ex treme dexterity in getting the drop on his enemies, the young star has a voice of no mean quality and knows how to use it. The play, in addition t«» having plenty of powder smoke, has some rcul pathos and comedy. Haswell. in the hair-trigger leading role, has good sup port in Robert Brooks, as his supposed foster-father and later the manager of the Broken Heart saloon. James Dow dell makes a fine blustering bad man and Edna Holloway’s make-up as a dance ball girl gives a strong touch of realism. There arc several stirring climaxes, notably the fight in the dark In the Broken Heart saloon. “Billy the Kid” possesses what the “movie” wild West drama can ot convey, the smell of powder smoke and rough voices, and more than pleased the large opening audience. “Butterfly on the Wheel" Pleases. A splendid audience witnessed the premier of “A Butterfly on the Wheel,” j played by Miss Billy Long and her ; stock company at the Atlanta last night, | and were pleased with its presentation. ! Th« play is the old, old story of the I butterfly wife, the professional man who j is too busy with the affairs of the world j to he an ideal husband for such a wife ; and the serpent in the guise of a friend who loves too well, unwisely, and is j not overnice in placing ms affections or | caring for the consequences. The story is absorbingly interesting I and even if it is what is commonly termed a drawing room drama it affords , tense scenes and thrilling incidents, and j these make up much for the lack of action.
