Poteat Is Halted in Attack on
Jews and Catholics in Socio
logical Congress.
Pflegates to the Southern Socio
logical Congress to-day declared the
ban last night placed on denomina
tional attacks at the meeting in the
Wesley Memorial Church meant a
greater usefulness for the work of
the congress.
Dr. E. M. Poteat, of Furman Uni
versity, Greenville, S. C., had launched
into bitter denunciation of Catholics
* and Jews when Dr. A. J. McKelway,
^ acting president, interrupted him. The
audience cheered. Dr. Poteat ended
his speech on “National Steward
ship” with a few more sentences.
Dr. Poteat was the last speaker,
and when he arose lie asked if the
audience would rather listen to his
Y speech or go home to sleep. The
f crowd urged him to proceed. Soon he
was discussing the Jews.
Scores the Hebrews.
“They have failed in their steward
ship,” he said. “The Protestants
have been making the real progress.”
Then he turned to the Catholics,
saying:
“We must rise up and say that no
church with its head abroad shall
gain dominion in this country. It
must not T>e allowed.
“I. don’t see why a red cap on a
man’s head adds any sense to his
brains ”
Dr. McKelway interrupted.
“Pardon me, but there can be no
discussion along denominational
lines,” he said.
Audience Cheers McKelway.
Dr. Poteat thanked him. The au
dience burst into applause.
Dr. McKelway said all denomina
tions were welcomed in the work of
the congress for human welfare, and
he interrupted because he feared of
fense might be taken at Dr. Poteat’s
remarks.
Several Catholic priests—Father
Rapier, of Atlanta; Father Peter A.
Crumbly, of Memphis, and Father
DuBois, of Marlst College — have
taken prominent parts fn this session
of the congress.

NEW YORK. April 29.—Supreme
Court Justice Gerard has handed
down a decision declaring that Mrs
Severina Samarelli, famous as th*
“Kissless Bride,” is not kissless.
fn this decree he brands as base
less her husband’s charge that his
beautiful bride turned h<-r head awa>
whenever he offered to caress or kiss
her. Against the protest of Dr. Gae
tano F. Samarelli. the husband, Jus-
lice Gerard decreed that Mrs. Sam-
arelli is entitled to a separation and
alimony. He will fix the amount of
her allowance next week.
“Liked to Be Kissed.”
Here is the judicial finding concern
ing Dr. Samarelli’s allegation that
ills wife was "marble-hearted:”
Ever since the marriage Mrs.
Samarelli has Treated her hua- ^
band in an affectionate and kind
manner. She has kissed, hugged
and embraced him continually.
She liked to be kissed, hugged
and embraced by her husband,
and has at all time* been affec
tionate and kind to him.
The Court reviewed the evidence
which showed that Dr. Samarelli and
liis bride, who was known as “The
Rose of Palermo,” went to Niagara
Falls and Canada on their honey
moon. On their return he installed
his sister and brother-in-law in the
bridal chamber of his house, and a
few days later told his wife he was
through with her.
Called Her Cold.
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.
The Court holds he was at fault in
abandoning his wife and refusing her
attempts to be reconciled.
Dr. Samarelli started an annull-
ment action, but discontinued it be
fore trial. It is 9aid that he ma>
take an appeal from Justice Ger
ard’s decision.

HEARST’S
SUNDAY AMERICAN
AND
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
By JAME B. NEVIN.
A handsome marble monument t H
the memory of the late Governor AI - j
len r>. t’andler. the “one-eyed plow !
boy of Pigeon Roost,” twice t’hiui
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 read
ily and gladly. The sum of $300 \ui
quickly raised, and with this a modes'
and fitting memorial will bo secure**
—Just such as the late Governor him
self would approve of, no doubt. It
will be presented to Mrs. Candler or;
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 that
he came by the nickname that stuck
tc#him ever thereafter—“the one-eyed
plow boy 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 t':<
niasfes of the plain people, with
whom he ever was particularly strom
in his public life.
After serving three terms in Wash
ington. Governor Candler v as 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 hone ty and
uncompromising in his high ideals.
His portrait now adorns the wall of
the Governor’s reception room in t!
state capitol. This likeness, which is
a fine one, shows in every line wln.t
manner of man he was.
Allen D. Candler was» one of the
most 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.
If is not generally known in At
lanta, although it is a fact, that Dr.
William M. Baird once was Speaker of
the House of Representatives in the
New Jersey Legislature and served
one term in the early 70s with credit
aad 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. Pic-
quet, of Richmond County, has rented
a home in Decatur for the summer
session of the Legislature, and will
motor to and from his Legislative
duties in Atlatna every day.
He will bring his family throusrh I
the country from Augusta to Atlanta !
in a big seven-passenger car and
pects to entertain considerably whiic |
sojourning in and near the capital.
Says The Montgomery Monitor.
“When a horse falls sick every pass
ing man will suggest a fure-eure
remedy to the owner. Before Gov.
John M. Slaton assumes tho 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 1
are reasons why he is so well liked I
by everybody—but, while he will li.-
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 the
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 to
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 t li - •
trains.
It is expected that the other roads
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. Ik

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 I
to be more aggressively urged than it
has been heretofore, and there is
thought to be a fair chance of the
passage 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
satifc'factory child labor laws are un
acted, but it will be possible to p ins
more satisfactory and more intelli
gent compulsory education laws, per
haps, after the child labor laws are
franked and approved.
As both measures will be acitated
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.
