Poteat Is Halted in Attack on
Jews and Catholics in Socio
logical Congress.
Delegates 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 worjf of
t he congress.
Dr. E. M. Poteat, of Furman Uni
versity, Greenville, S. C., had launched
into bitter denunciation of. Catholics
find 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 he asked if the
audience would rather listen to his
speech or go home lo sleep. The
crowd urged him to proceed. Soon he
was discussing the Jews.
Scores the Hebrews.
"They have failed in their ’steward
ship,” 1k‘« said. "The Protestants
have been making the real progress.”
Thor, 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 be 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.” lie 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, ana
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 Marist College — have
taken prominent parts in this session
of the congress.

brought a carload of sweet potatoes
to Columbus to-dav. The car con
tained 12.308 pounds f potatoes. Til -

They yielded more than 1.000 bushels

Aged Man Held for Attack.
DALTON.—Andrew Summev, an
aged Murray County man, is in jail
in Spring Place on the charge of as
sault with intent to murder. The vic
tim of the assault, Tom A. Ensley, is
in a precarious condition, it is al
leged that the men engaged in a
quarrel because of the failure of Sum-
iiiey's son to report to Ensely for
work after he had been employed in
a talc mine over which Ensley was
superintendent.
by Her Husband.
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.
In this decree he brands as base
less her husband’s charge that his
beautiful bride turned her head away
whenever he offered to caress or kiss
her. Against th? protest of Dr. Gae
tano F. Samarelli. the husband, Jus
tice 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. Sam are Hi’s allegation that
his wife was “marble-hearted:”
Ever since the marriage Mrs.
Samarelli has treated her hus
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 times been affec
tionate and kind to him.
The Court reviewed the evidence
w hich showed that Dr. Samarelli and
his bride, who was known as "The
Rose of Palermo.” went to Niagara
Falls and Canada pn 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 hei
attempts to be reconciled.
Dr. Samarelli started an annuli-
ment action, but discontinued it be
fore trial. It is said that he ma\
take an appeal from Justice Ger
ard’s decision.

No Flying on French
Border, Says Kaiser
Hereafter Army Airmen Must Be
Careful Not to Cavort Too Close
to Frontier.
BERLIN. April 29.—The German
War Office has issued an order for
bidding army officers from engaging-
in any official or private balloon
flights that would carry them near
the French frontier.
The German Government is deep
ly chagrined by the two recent Inci

managed to turn both the Lunevlllo
and Arrancourt affairs into jokes,
and it annoyed the Kaiser.

Monument, Paid for by Ap
pointees, Will Be Unveiled at
Gainesville, June 3.
By JAME B. NEVIN.
A handsome marble monument to
the memory of the late Governor Al
len D. Candler, the "one-eyed plow
boy of Pigeon Roost,” twice Chief
Magistrate of Georgia. and th: <
times a Representative In Congress,
is to be unveiled in Gainesville on
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 .was
quickly raised, and with this a modest
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 th*
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
to 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 the
masses 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 Slate 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 Hi
state capitol. This likeness, which is
a fine one, shows in every line what
manner of man he was.
Allen I). Candler was one of the
moft 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-( ’onfederate Executives.
It is not generally known in At
lanta. although it is a fact, that Dr.
William M. Baird once was Speaker* :
the House of Representatives in tile
New Jersey' Legislature and served
one term in the early 70s with credit
and distinction. He was affiliated
with the Democratic side.
The doctor sopn 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 farnilv thrnwrh
the country from Augusta to Atlanta
In a big seven-passenger car and * \-
pects to entertain considerably whiie
sojourning in and near the capital. •
Says The Montgomery Monitor:
“When a horse falls sick every pass
ing man will Suggest a sure-cure
remedy to the owner. Before Gov.
John M. Slaton assumes the Gov
ernmental reins of Georgia lie 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—but, whiM he will lis
ten patiently to much advice, he may
be depended upon to accept such as
pleases him apd 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, Lo
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 road?
operating in Gtoorgla will follow the
Southern’s lead In this matter. Tin
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 bp
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
lias 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
satisfactory child labor laws are en
acted, but It will be possible to pass
more satisfactory and more intelli
gent compulsory education laws, per
haps, after the child labor law’s 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.

"Billy the Kid” at Lyric.
"Billy Ihe KM,” the real rapid-fire
success of the cow country, never shot j
himself into favor quicker in the Pan- i
handle than "Billy the Kid,” the Ly-
Tic's popular offering this week, did at
that playhouse last night. Berkeley j
Haswell, 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 j
of no mean quality and knows how to
use. it. The play, in addition to having
plenty of powder smoke, has some real
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
tlie Broken Heart saloon, lames Dow
dell makes a fine, blustering bad raan i
and Edna Holloway’s make-up as a i
dance hall girl gives a strong touch of j
realism. There are several stirring
climaxes, notably the fight in the dark j
in the Broken Heart $aloon. "Billy the J
Kid” possesses what the "movie” wild
West drama can ot convey, the smell of j
powder smoke and rough voices, and !
more than pleased the large opening I
audience.
"Butterfly on the Wheel" Pleases.
A splendid audience witnessed the
premier of “A Butterfly on tlie Wheel," I
played by Miss Billy Long and her J
stock company at the Atlanta last night,
and were pleased with its presentation. :
The play is the old, old story of the j
butterfly wife, the professional man who j
is too busy with the affairs of the world !
to be an ideal husband for such a wife j
and the serpent in the guise of a frieryl
who loves too well, unwisely, and is I
not overnice in placing ms affections or j
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 f
tense scenes and thrilling incidents, and
these make up much for the lack of
action.
Miss Long proved splendidly versa
tile in her delineation of the thoughtless
wife, who lived her lift only Jn the
present with never a thought of the
consequences. Following the totally
different part of the widow in "Wild
fire" of last week, her imterpretr tlon
of the wife this week is also thoroughly j
enjoyable.
Allan Robinson, as Lord Kllerdinc. a
“inlomat with no diplomacy, had s*>n*«'
splendid lines and delivered them with j
all their effect and force and, as tlx-
part is the only comedy character in
the story, he soon became a favorite
Others in the cast did well, and are .
due much credit for their splendid work. 1
Especially may this be emphasized when
it is kn«.\vn that the parts were only j
finally cast last Thursday, due to a
delay in securing the manuscript. Much j
of the crudeness in ono <>r two spots
in the work of last night may be for- ,
given when this is known, and one or
two more performances will see this |
pass away.
There will be no performance Wed- j
nesday and Thursday nights, because j
of a previous house engagement, but ,
the usual night performances the rest 1
of the week and matlrmeM Wednesday j
and Saturday will be given.
