RS. J. W. COLEMAN, below, mother of slain Mary Pha
gan, and Ollie Phagan, sister of the murdered girl. Mrs.
Coleman is prostrated by grief over the crime, and warns all
mothers of working girls to watch carefully their loved ones.
Who Would Be the Most Inter
ested in Saying That the Night
Watchman Did Not Do It?
While the tendency of the policy
straight through has seemed to be to
doubt that Mary Phagan, the mur
dered girl, really wrote the smu:l
notes found beside her body purport-
• ing to give a dew to her murderer,
the girl’a stepfather, W. J. Coleman,
lhlnka 1t possible that nhe way have
written one of the scrawls.
That one is the note written on the
little yellow factory slip- so faintly
traced 1t Is almost impossible to read
it. It 1s the one. that says:
mama that negro hired down
here did this I went to get water
and he pushed me down this hole
a long tall negro black that has It
woke long lean tall negro 1 write
while play with .me.
“Somehow, it looks like her hand
writing to me," said Mr. Coleman.
“But, of ooure I can not be sure.
How, about the other note 1 am
doubtful. Jt seems to be written to'»
well for the child to have done It Ii
tiie almost insensible condition she
must have been in at the time
Whether she wrote either of the notes
of her own accord, though, or wheth
er she was forced to do it by her
murderer to turn suspicion from him
self, of course is mere speculation.
Only time can tell, if anything.”
Doubts Other Note’s Authorship.
The other note whose authority Mr.
Coleman doubts is the one scrawled
on a notepad. It reads as it was at
first translated:
He said he wood iove me laid
down like the night witch did it
but that long tall black negro did
it by his self.
This note, however, brings up an
argument advanced by several people
who have studied it. carefully. I hey
have found that in some way one
word, “play,” was omitted in the first
translation, and they think that In
stead of “night witch” the words wer e
meant to mean “night watch,” which
is relative to the subject. With these
changes the note would read:
'He said he wood love me laid down
play like the night watch did it, but
that long tall blavk negro did it by
his self.”
They ask: If the murderer told
the child he was going to “play like
the night watch did it," and then the
child goes on to explain that it wasn’t
the night watchman at all that did
it, but another negro, wouldn’t that
appear that the child was endeavor
ing to shield the night watchman
Argue Again6t Watchman.
They also ask: Would a child in
the predicament Mary Phagan was
supposed to be in, insensible and her
mind wandering, be thinking of try
ine to shield a night watchman In
her note, even before she described
the man who had treated her bo
cruelly?
Again they ask: Who would be the
most interested person in the world
in saving the hide of the night
watchman?
Did the child write the notes her
self. was she forced to write them,
or did somebody else write them?
The notes are written to throw sus-

Make Your Letters
Help Bring Shrine
Everybody Urged to Use Reminder
of Atlanta’s Conquest for Con
vention on Every Missive.
JBveryone who writes a letter can
help Atlanta to win the honor of en
tertaining the next Imperial Council
of the Mystic Shrine.
Fred Houser, secretary of the con
vention bureau, tells how.
Across the bottom of the last sheet
say:
"Atlanta, 1914. Imperial Council
Shrine.”
Business firms are requested to
have this printed on the stationery
they will use for the next month, or
els.^have It typewritten at the end of
every letter. The man who really
wants, to help can have the same in
scription on the envelopes.
In this way thousands upon thou
sands of reminders will be sent to in
fluential quarters which could be
reached In no other way.
Fifteen thousand cards, reading
simply. “Atlanta. 1914." will be dis
tributed at Dulla. next month when
the shrine meets ,. ?re.
pleion off of the night watchman.
Translated In that way, the argu
ment would go to bear out the ex
pressed belief of the girl’s stepfather
that the negro committed the crime:
Ollie Phagan, tile 18-year-old sis
ter of Mary, said that, while she did
not know, of course, she did not be
lieve that Mary wrote either of the
notes. She knew her handwriting
well, and the rough letters did not
look like hers, although they might
possibly be.
Kxcitement prevailed to-day among
those interest* d when it was found
that the scene In which the fearful
strup’pfle between the dead girl and
her assailant took place was not on
the second floor of the pencil factory,

There are many causes of pre
mature gray hair--sickness, a ner
vous temperament, impoverished
blood, deficient scalp nutrition,
sometimes it is hereditary and the
daughter finds herself quite gray
in her early thirties. We don’t
always know the cause, but we do i
know that gray hair adds at least
t^n years to tlie age of a woman,
be she old or young, and when a. |
young woman’s hair begins to fade 1
and lose its color, it is very foolish !
for her to let it go on unheeded.
In a year or two she will be an
old gray-headed woman. And just
a little care and treatment can
save her hair and her youth.
