Attornev Cooper, acting under the
recently enacted Felker law. asked
the trial Judge for a change of venue.
This was dented. He appealed to the
Supreme Court, but that nody ques

In addressing the court, Mr. < cop
er declared that if a Jones (. ounty
Jurv recommended his client to mer
cy the citizens would take him out
and hang him in two minute*.
Feara Client's Lynching.
I don't want Wilburn mobbed in a
court of justice," he said. I helped

marching on the building to taka my
client.” ,, ,
Mr. Cooper referred to the cusp of

Says Girl Evangelist

Use the Hot Stuff,” She
Declares.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 6.— Mi *3
Amy Stockton, girl preacher and San
Jose normal student, is going to
‘‘pass up” the use of classic English
in her addressed and use slang when
that form of speech carries with it the
"kick.”
With modiiications of Billy Sun
day's grammatical curves and drives
she proposes, as an evangelist, to hew
out a direct method of discourse all
her own.
“You’ve got to get it across to your
hearers,” said Miss Stockton. “Some
of my friends have roasted me for the
slang; others say it is right stuff.
Anyway, I’m for it.”

2D BRIDE SUES
"Riches Don’t Mean Happiness
When Your Husband Is Un
true,” She Declares.
LOS ANGELES, May 6.—"Beauti
ful clothes arid Jewels do not make a
marriage happy if your husband is
Joy-riding with other women.”
With wistful expression in her dark
blue eyes, Mrs. John R. Drummond.
Jr., who is suing the son of the multi
millionaire tobacco magnate for di
vorce on the grounds of desertion,
cruelty and infidelity, said so to-day.
She maintained wealth did not mean
happiness.
Mrs. Drummond told for the first
time the cause leading to the break
up in what was known as an “ideal
marriage."
“I loved my husband,” said Mrs.
Drummond, “but I never knew where
he was. Evenings he would go away
and never say when he would return
or where he was going. He led a
high, fast life, leaving me alone with
our little daughter.
“I knew Mr. Drummond was di
vorced from his first wife and that
she was a beautiful and charming
woman. The grounds of her divorce
were practically the same as mine.
He treated her c ruelly as he did me,
but I foolishly hoped I could reform
him.
"Married life has taken away my
youth and beauty. 1 was famed in
Chicago as a beautiful girl, now wor
ry has made me a wreck. I met John
Ft. Drummond, Jr., In Los Angeles,
five years ago, when I was visiting
l\ere. I was carried away by his
clashing manner, for he was an ar
dent lover. I returned to Chicago iff
about a month and he •followed me
there, where we were married.
“We had a beautiful wedding and
1 hoped for a happy married life. Mr.
Drummond did not care to stay at
home evenings or seem to enjoy my
company after a few weeks. Our lit
tle daughter, Virginia Harrison
Drummond, who is nearly four years
old, is our only tie.
“I am told that Mr. Drummond is
now camping at Lakeside, near San
Diego, a summer resort where he
lives in the company of other wom
en.”

Mailed Out.
GEORGIA
NEWS IN BRIEF
Offic« employees of The Georgian
and Sunday American worked all of
Monday and late into the night mail
ing out free theater tickets to thou
sands of Georgian and American
readers who clipped and sent in the
necessary four coupons and a self-
addressed, stamped envelope.
Despite this hard work, so heavy
that it Interfered seriously with the
regular office routine, it was impos
sible to work through more than half
of the letters sent in.
Therefore, readers will remember,
please, that because of the great de
mand it will be impossible to furnish

urally, capacious as the Atlanta The

be cared for each night until all
requests have been satisfied.
And please be assured that whil<t
there is some necessary delay because
of the great mass of work to be done
your ticket will come through the
mail, unless—
You are one of those who failed to
send in a complete set of coupons;
or one of those who failed to send a
stamped envelope;' or one of those
who failed to give name and address.
If you are one of tl\ese, we are sor

ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS
Dresden-==The City of the Sistine
Madonna and ExquisiteChina.
Some of this China is Unusually Priced in the Bazaar
Dresden claims the interest of world-tourists primarily by virtue
of Raphael’s wonderful painting, the Sistine Madonna, and then by
the china that hears its name. No one will deny that Dresden china
is in its way a work of art just as the Sistine Madonna is. The phrase
“as dainty as a piece of Dresden china” did not just happen.
And a splendid collection of this china is priced very remarkably
in the Bazaar right now. We doubt if Atlanta has ever had such a
display — especially at such prices. And at this time when the June
Brides’ presents are to be bought and the home is to be fixed up for
the summer such prices take on a very interesting meaning.
